Alright, these emotional tidbits aren't the main point.
After a bit of a grumble, the playboy cast aside these useless thoughts.
He began to seriously continue his analysis.
According to the diary, Dormammu's niece sought out Doctor Strange precisely to resolve the universe-colliding crisis caused by Doctor Strange.
So, it seems Dormammu's niece is actually a good person.
So, what about her strength?
Although the diary didn't mention it, considering her heaven-defying background as the niece of a dimension-hopping demon, she shouldn't be weak, no matter what.
Adding Doctor Strange, who can traverse the Multiverse, they should be able to solve that universe-colliding crisis… right?
Tony really wanted a definite answer from the diary.
But unfortunately, the diary didn't provide any answers!
[According to Mr. Fantastic from Universe 838, the only way to resolve a universe collision is to completely destroy one of the universes.]
[Otherwise, the two universes will "perish together," resulting in mutual destruction.]
[So, the best-case scenario is still one universe being annihilated!]
[Furthermore, Doctor Strange from Universe 838 has already caused a collision once.]
[And then there's Universe TRN889, which didn't even need a collision; the corrupted Doctor Strange destroyed the universe himself.]
[So, it seems Mr. Fantastic's words aren't without merit. The biggest threat to the Multiverse is really Doctor Strange!]
Tony's expression became more solemn and serious than ever before.
His guess was absolutely correct.
The consequences of two universes colliding were indeed as serious and severe as imagined.
They had to destroy the other universe! That was an entire universe! Countless planets, countless civilizations, countless lives! Everything would be destroyed.
This kind of extremely cruel thing, not to mention doing it, just reading the diary's description made Tony feel horrified.
However, Tony also understood that if this really happened, for the survival of their own universe, they could only do everything they could to act as the executioner.
To destroy the other universe! So the best way was to prevent a universe collision event from happening.
In other words, don't let Doctor Strange practice the Darkhold! But after reading the diary's spoilers, Tony suddenly lost confidence.
It turned out Doctor Strange was a repeat offender! Doctor Strange of Universe 199999 was not the only one who caused a universe collision.
Other universes also had Doctor Stranges who did this.
Even Doctor Strange himself destroying an entire universe!
So, is it really as the diary says, that Doctor Strange is the biggest threat to the Multiverse?
This is just too damn ridiculous!
But for now, Tony really doesn't have any way to deal with this.
He can't possibly watch Doctor Strange all the time, preventing him from studying the Darkhold, can he?
Although Tony doesn't know the specifics of how Doctor Strange is studying the Darkhold.
But as a powerful "White Mage", how could he not know the risks of black magic?
How could he not know the dangers of the Darkhold?
Yet he still chose to do so!
This shows that he has a good enough reason to do so!
After all, the diary made it very clear that Doctor Strange studied the Darkhold to resolve the Scarlet Witch's crisis.
It wasn't about gaining power, but about self-degradation.
In this case, could it truly be stopped?
Or, is stopping it even a good thing?
Meanwhile, Nick Fury, facing another diary, was much more composed.
The Multiverse was too far off; why bother thinking so much about it?
Judging from the information revealed in the diary, the future era was clearly the era of the Multiverse.
Various Multiverse-level crises would emerge endlessly, like the universe collision events, one more or one less wouldn't matter.
Just like the various tricky problems that S.H.I.E.L.D. had always solved, no matter how big the crisis, there would always be a solution.
So, Fury didn't dwell on it too much, instead, he refocused his attention on the diary.
Waiting for the next wave of spoilers from the diary.
However, after waiting for several minutes, no new content appeared in the diary.
That Satan had once again stopped updating without any warning.
Nick Fury decisively closed the diary.
After briefly sorting through the various pieces of information from the diary's spoilers, Nick Fury immediately took out his phone and dialed a number through an encrypted line.
"Nick!"
"What's the matter?"
Soon, a deep voice sounded from the receiver.
That wasn't just anyone. It was a Skrull, sent by Nick Fury to the Sokovia base to replace Baron Strucker.
"Listen, I need an updated list of the personnel involved in your secret experiments."
"Compile it immediately and send it to me."
"And make it quick!"
Nick Fury didn't hesitate and immediately gave the order.
"You haven't given up, have you? I've already told you, those experiments are a complete waste of resources."
"There's still no progress so far."
The fake Baron Strucker said this to Nick Fury.
"Who knows what tomorrow brings?"
Nick Fury shrugged meaningfully.
Not long after the two sides ended their communication, the list Nick Fury requested was sent over with incredible speed.
Nick Fury opened it eagerly.
His one good eye quickly scanned the other personnel files, searching.
Soon, Nick Fury's eye lit up, a glint flashing within.
Wanda Maximoff!
Found her!
The awesome Scarlet Witch was finally found!
So, it's you?
Nick Fury began to carefully read the file in front of him.
A native of Sokovia, Wanda's parents died in the turmoil when she was very young.
After that, she and her younger brother began to wander the streets together, living a life of extreme hardship.
Until later, she signed a "contract" with Hydra and began to voluntarily accept Hydra's human experiments.
Well.
Like countless other poor children, Wanda's past could be said to be unremarkable, with nothing worth paying attention to.
Even Wanda herself, looked like just a beautiful, ordinary child.
At least at first glance, she didn't leave any deep impression on Fury.
Nick Fury hadn't expected such a seemingly ordinary little girl to have such immense potential in the future.
He saved this file separately and continued his search.
Soon, Pietro Maximoff's file was found.
After a quick look, it could only be said that this child was even more ordinary than Wanda.
And compared to Wanda, Pietro's situation was more troublesome. After all, Pietro needed the scepter to awaken as Quicksilver.
Considering the fact that the scepter was currently with Tony, and considering Tony's personality...
Fury felt that using the scepter to awaken Pietro was going to take some real effort.
But no matter what, Nick Fury wouldn't give up on this matter easily. "Coulson!"
After separately archiving the files on Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, Nick Fury summoned his loyal subordinate, Coulson.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
Coulson stood at attention before Nick Fury, awaiting his boss's instructions.
"Jane Foster, I want you to resume secret surveillance on her."
Nick Fury gave Coulson the order directly.
To be honest, Coulson was somewhat surprised and puzzled by this.
Hadn't Jane Foster already been proven to be of no surveillance value, leading to the operation's termination?
"Why are they suddenly focusing on Jane Foster again?"
Despite his questions, Coulson didn't say anything.
As always, he accepted the mission without hesitation.
"Also, I need to know what's going on with the 'Nine Realms Convergence'."
Nick Fury paused, then continued to instruct Coulson.
The Nine Realms Convergence was a critical time for the Dark Elves' awakening, which Nick Fury took very seriously.
After all, the Dark Elves could bring darkness to all Nine Realms.
And Earth, as one of the Nine Realms, couldn't escape it.
So, Fury's level of importance regarding the Dark Elves was no less than that of Thor.
"Nine Realms Convergence, sounds like an astronomical phenomenon, Director. Jane Foster is the best astrophysicist for this."
Coulson pondered for a moment, then confirmed with Nick Fury, "What are our contact principles on this matter?"
"Do not alarm Jane."
After some thought, Nick Fury gave Coulson this answer.
According to the diary's spoilers, Jane Foster's discovery of the Aether was purely accidental.
Fury was really worried that any interference would cause a deviation from its original trajectory.
Thus causing the Aether, or rather the Reality Stone, to be buried!
As for the discovery of the Aether awakening the Dark Elves, well, the diary never mentioned such a thing.
"At least, it hasn't been explicitly stated."
Of course, even if the diary had explicitly stated it, given Nick Fury's personality, he'd still find a way to get the Reality Stone.
Risks have never stopped Nick Fury.
"Understood, sir."
Coulson responded and then left to carry out the order.
Soon, Nick Fury was alone again in the office. Fury rubbed his temples and began to ponder.
After a moment, Nick Fury straightened up again and dialed a number: "Stark, I think we need to talk."
The playboy on the other end of the line naturally knew what Nick Fury wanted to talk about.
After a moment's consideration, he agreed. They arranged to meet at a specific location.
This was the perfect opportunity to lay everything out for Nick Fury.
Human experimentation was his absolute limit!
About two hours later, having temporarily dealt with their respective tasks, Nick Fury and Tony met at the secret base where Vision was being studied.
The two engaged in a heated argument regarding the experiments on Quicksilver.
"Let's stop here!"
"End this pointless argument. I don't need to lecture you. I know it won't move you, and I can't persuade you."
"But I can tell you clearly, Nick, this is my bottom line!"
"I will absolutely not allow anyone to use a child for human experimentation."
"Whatever the reason!"
"If you insist on doing this, I will stop you!"
Tony delivered these resolute words to Nick Fury before storming off.
Only Nick Fury, looking rather displeased, was left behind.
The situation was proving to be much more troublesome than anticipated.
Tony's attitude was also far more firm than expected.
However, right now, Nick Fury really couldn't afford to fall out with Tony.
Although it was an unpleasant feeling, the Director had to admit that he needed Tony.
Instead of Tony needing him!
For a Quicksilver, well, to be more precise, for a Quicksilver who might not even be born.
After all, Hydra was already Nick Fury's, and history had already deviated.
Even if he sent the scepter over, Pietro's fate would be different from the one in another universe.
Even Nick Fury couldn't guarantee a perfect replication of Quicksilver.
In this situation, was it really worth it to get into a serious conflict with Tony?
Nick Fury began weighing his options.
Tony didn't know exactly what he was thinking.
However, several days passed, and Nick Fury indeed didn't bring up the matter again.
The playboy acted like nothing had happened, continuing his research on Vision and other endeavors.
Everything returned to normal.
While Tony was getting back to work...
Sersi and Sprite finally arrived at Ajax's place of seclusion.
"Sersi, Sprite, it's been a while!"
Ajax, having ridden back on horseback, reined in the horse, dismounted with a flourish, and walked towards Sersi and Sprite with a smile.
"So, this is how you live now?"
"Being a cowboy?"
The Water Sprite sized up Ajax's cowboy attire and greeted him.
"No, I'm just being myself."
Ajax smiled, "I've never felt so peaceful."
"I'm relieved to see you're doing well."
Sersi walked over, paused, and then added, "At least, it seems like you're doing better than me."
"You seem to have a lot of stories."
Ajax gestured to Sersi and the Water Sprite, "Come in, I have some good tea."
The two followed Ajax inside.
Everyone chatted casually while enjoying tea, and the atmosphere was excellent.
Laughter erupted from time to time.
"Alright, Circe."
Seeing that the time was right, Ajak put on a serious expression and began to address the matter at hand, "Now, you can satisfy my curiosity and tell me what happened."
