Despite their unknown origin in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, questions about whether there are more powerful rings in the world are often overlooked. The fact there is no one like the Mandarin waving them about, it's assumed that there are only ten rings on Earth. Yet, with the recent opening of the multiverse, it seems there's a guarantee that more rings exist, and it could even be possible for one person to wield more than ten at once.
At the end of Loki, the MCU multiverse finally opened up and broke off the Sacred Timeline. As seen in Spider-Man: No Way Home, it seems like the multiverse will have a huge impact, as it's possible for people and objects to now cross timelines. With alternate versions of the same character being able to interact, it means there's a possibility for multiple Shang-Chi's to meet.
Perhaps one of the most important scenes in Loki occurs in the first episode. As Loki arrives at the TVA, he comes across a drawer of Infinity Stones and chuckles like they are just worthless rocks. While this is used to indicate the power of the TVA, it also points out how multiple versions of the same object could be bundled together. Therefore, if the right circumstance arises, multiple Shang-Chi's could meet and combine their rings.
In Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the Mandarin holds the rings for approximately one thousand years. This gives him prolonged life and increased strength, as well as the ability to control the rings as projectiles. The ten rings are even more powerful in the Marvel comics, with each ring holding a trapped soul and possessing its own unique ability. While these more specific powers, such as the ability to manipulate matter, have yet to be shown in live-action, they could still be revealed later on.
With how powerful the rings are, it's unknown what would happen if someone held more than ten at once. It's quite possible they'd have the same effect as an Infinity Stone, where it's too much power for a mortal to wield. On the other hand, it could also make the barer into a god-like being, with little to oppose them.
Even if the idea of someone holding more than ten rings is never explored, that doesn't mean there will never be multiple Shang-Chi's together at once. With the upcoming threat of Kang the Conqueror, heroes from across the multiverse may need to team up to stand a chance against him -- and seeing multiple Shang-Chi's fight side by side would be a sight to behold.
