Jarvis, have you found any clues about this Doctor Strange?"
After reining in his surprise, Tony Stark casually asked Jarvis this question.
The reason it was "casually" was because the Playboy had previously asked Jarvis to look into Doctor Strange.
The result, naturally, was as expected: nothing useful was found.
"Sir, no new clues have been retrieved."
Indeed.
Jarvis immediately gave this reply.
"What about that Dr. Stephen Strange? Has he shown any extraordinary talent, or anything unusual?"
The Playboy nodded, indicating he understood, then suddenly remembered something and continued to ask.
After all, the term Doctor Strange that appeared in the diary was "Dr. Strange."
The word "Strange" in English means peculiar, or unusual.
And frankly, very few people use "Strange" as a name.
So, when most people see "Dr." followed by a word like "Strange," they subconsciously assume it's a nickname, not a name.
It's similar to that classic misunderstanding in "Avengers 3."
Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and Iron Man hijacked Ebony Maw's spaceship to Titan, and it was Spider-Man and Doctor Strange's first meeting, so they introduced themselves to each other.
At that time, Doctor Strange introduced himself to Spider-Man as "Dr. Stephen Strange."
But Spider-Man mistakenly thought Doctor Strange was giving a nickname, so he also gave his nickname, Spider-Man.
The situation was similar for the diary holders when they saw the description in the diary.
They all subconsciously took Strange as a nickname, not a name.
As for "Dr.," it is an abbreviation of "Doctor," which can mean both a medical Doctor and a person with a doctorate.
Considering that the Doctor Strange described in the diary possessed the ability to travel through time, everyone subconsciously assumed that Doctor Strange was a doctorate holder, not a medical Doctor.
Especially after the diary just revealed that Doctor Strange used Time Magic, it further confirmed this point for all the diary holders.
However, this was for diary holders like Tony Stark, but what about Jarvis?
When he searched for "Dr. Strange," he actually found a matching person.
A Doctor named Strange!
At the time, Tony Stark had already complained wildly: What kind of person would use Strange as their name?
That truly was a very Strange name.
Moreover, that Strange fellow who used Strange as a name was also a Doctor.
Thus, a beautiful coincidence was born.
Ignoring everything else, just looking at the name, it perfectly matched the nickname "Doctor Strange."
Tony Stark's first feeling was that it was too much of a coincidence.
Nevertheless, to be cautious, the Playboy still asked Jarvis to keep an eye on that Dr. Stephen Strange.
Although Tony Stark also felt the probability was low, what if?
"Sir, our Dr. Stephen Strange is as usual, driving luxury cars, wearing expensive watches, and frequenting high-end parties, just as low-key as you are."
Jarvis immediately gave this answer, which was not beyond Tony Stark's expectation.
Indeed!
It seems I overthought it!
Tony Stark couldn't help but shrug.
That guy, who earned less than a fraction of a fraction of his own earnings in a year, was as arrogant as him.
How could he be a powerful figure like Doctor Strange?
"As for the second one on this list, I think it must be Scarlet Witch!"
"Of course, not the Scarlet Witch from the Avengers era. Although that Scarlet Witch was also very powerful, capable of destroying Infinity Stones with one hand and even simultaneously blocking the Purple Sweet Potato with multiple Stones!"
"But there's still a significant gap compared to the Scarlet Witch after her blackening."
"The blackened Scarlet Witch is a ruthless individual who slaughtered her way through the Multiverse!"
"She single-handedly ravaged all of Kamar-Taj and single-handedly wiped out the Illuminati!"
"She was incredibly fierce, and it was almost impossible to find a worthy opponent in the Multiverse."
"Scarlet Witch?"
"It's not even me?"
Tony Stark couldn't help but pout, quite unwillingly.
The diary had clearly stated that he, Tony, would be a top-tier powerhouse in the Universe in the future, wouldn't he?
He had even ventured beyond Earth and fought against powerhouses like the Purple Sweet Potato.
Of course, besides the Purple Sweet Potato, he, Tony, must have had many other spectacular battles, it's just that the diary didn't mention them.
The Playboy felt that with his level of excellence, even though he didn't know what world-shattering battles he would have in the future, it would definitely be no problem for him to easily rank among the top.
Doctor Strange's battle against Dormammu before this was fine.
After all, Dormammu was indeed too abnormal, too heaven-defying.
Doctor Strange setting up a scheme by committing suicide countless times was indeed not something an ordinary person could do.
He, Tony Stark, also quite acknowledged that.
But now, Scarlet Witch also ranked above him?
The Playboy was truly a bit unconvinced.
However, very quickly, as he continued to read down, Tony Stark was speechless.
What the hell, was this Scarlet Witch also that powerful?
Even when she was an Avenger, she could destroy an Infinity Stone with one hand!
And it wasn't just as simple as destroying an Infinity Stone; while doing so, she also blocked the Purple Sweet Potato with multiple Stones!
What Infinity Stones were, the diary didn't introduce much, but the Playboy knew even by thinking with his thigh that those things were certainly not ordinary.
Destroying an Infinity Stone with one hand was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.
And as for blocking the Purple Sweet Potato with multiple Stones, that was even more extraordinary.
Because according to the diary's previous tone, the Purple Sweet Potato, when possessing multiple Stones, dared to challenge Odin or Ancient One.
This indicated that the Purple Sweet Potato, with multiple Stones empowering him, had already reached the level of Odin or Ancient One.
The result.
An existence of this caliber was actually ravaged by Scarlet Witch?
And at the same time as she destroyed an Infinity Stone with one hand?
What the hell, was that Scarlet Witch's power actually that strong?
But what's even more critical is that even such a powerful Scarlet Witch wasn't at her limit.
The later blackened Scarlet Witch could actually slaughter her way through the Multiverse!
What kind of concept is that?
The Playboy felt it was simply unimaginable.
After all, he couldn't even touch the Multiverse now, let alone slaughter his way through it.
No, he couldn't even confirm the existence of the Multiverse!
The vast difference between the two was no exaggeration to describe as a world of difference.
"Blackened."
Nick Fury, in front of another diary, instantly had a thought and fell into deep contemplation.
In other words, Scarlet Witch was originally a positive character, but later, she blackened and became a negative character?
Became a villain?
So, is this the reason described in the diary for Scarlet Witch slaughtering her way through the Multiverse?
After she blackened, did she have some ambition or conspiracy that caused the entire Multiverse to be drawn in?
This was even more startling than the Purple Sweet Potato wiping out half of the Universe's living beings!
After all, even if the Purple Sweet Potato wiped out all living beings in the entire Universe, it was still confined within a single Universe; it didn't exceed the Universe's limitations.
But Scarlet Witch?
She went as far as the Multiverse!
From this perspective, Scarlet Witch was even more formidable than the Purple Sweet Potato!
No, Scarlet Witch was already more powerful than the Purple Sweet Potato.
Didn't the diary say so? She ravaged the Purple Sweet Potato with all the Stones!
So now, a very crucial question is, what caused Scarlet Witch to blacken?
Although he didn't know why yet, Nick Fury secretly made a decision in his heart.
If there's an opportunity in the future, he must prevent this from happening!
Kamar-Taj, Illuminati.
And next, Nick Fury's gaze began to focus on these two names.
Undoubtedly, these two organizations must be incredibly formidable, even though the diary only mentioned their names without much further introduction.
Judging by the diary's tone, being able to single-handedly defeat or wipe out such organizations is a very extraordinary feat.
"That Illuminati in another Universe, one can only say they were truly miserable."
"They were just sitting at home, and disaster came from the sky; Scarlet Witch crossed Universes to kill them."
"Except for Baron Mordo, who escaped because he didn't participate in the battle, everyone else was mercilessly killed by Scarlet Witch!"
"Poor Mister Fantastic didn't even get a chance to act before he was turned into human noodles by Scarlet Witch, dying a truly horrific death."
"But then again, given Mister Fantastic's abilities, even if he had a chance to act, it wouldn't have mattered."
"It would be impossible to harm Scarlet Witch in the slightest."
"Black Bolt was pretty much the same; he didn't even get a chance to open his mouth before Scarlet Witch blew his head off."
"Otherwise, Black Bolt might have truly been able to hold off Scarlet Witch for a while."
Crossing Universes to kill someone!
Tony Stark almost blurted out, "Good heavens!"
This is too abnormal, isn't it?
Previously, when the Playboy knew he would venture out into the Universe and engage in inter-planetary battles, he thought he was incredibly amazing and powerful.
But compared to her, he was completely trash.
She directly crossed Universes, for goodness sake!
Although he didn't know how she did it, that Scarlet Witch was actually a god who could freely travel through the Multiverse!
Indeed, didn't the diary just mention that Scarlet Witch "slaughtered her way through the Multiverse"!
But one thing.
If they're not even in the same Universe, and she can still cross Universes to kill them, how deep is that hatred and resentment?
It seems that the Illuminati truly offended Scarlet Witch severely.
Mister Fantastic.
Black Bolt.
Tony Stark's gaze then fell upon these two names.
Undoubtedly, these must be members of that Illuminati, right?
Judging by their nicknames, they were clearly also superheroes.
What type of superhero Mister Fantastic was, Tony Stark couldn't immediately analyze.
But that Black Bolt, was he somehow related to a black bat?
The diary also pointed out that Black Bolt was killed by Scarlet Witch without even getting a chance to open his mouth, but if he had, he might have been able to contend with Scarlet Witch.
Doesn't this mean that Black Bolt's ability is activated by his mouth?
Could this person emit sound waves like a bat?
It seems that the superhero era truly has all sorts of talented and extraordinary individuals.
However, these people are all from another parallel Universe.
He just didn't know if such superheroes existed in his own Universe.
"Captain Carter goes without saying; she's just a female Captain America, and she couldn't possibly put up any resistance against Scarlet Witch."
"She was cut in half by her own shield, dying a truly horrific death."
"The only ones who could contend with Scarlet Witch were Professor X and Captain Marvel."
"Unfortunately, neither Professor X nor Captain Marvel were a match for Scarlet Witch."
"Although Professor X's abilities were strong, they ultimately couldn't overcome Scarlet Witch's Chaos Magic."
"Only Captain Marvel held out the longest, but after an intense battle, she was still killed by Scarlet Witch."
"Looking back at Scarlet Witch's solo fight against the Illuminati, it was completely a case of slaying gods and Buddhas alike; no one could stop her."
"Absolutely domineering."
"Captain Carter?"
Black Widow's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch slightly, and her heart immediately stirred.
She wondered if this "Carter" had any relation to Peggy Carter, one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s founders?
Could she be a descendant of Peggy Carter?
Could it be Sharon Carter?
Sharon Carter was also a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent; she grew up listening to her aunt's stories about Captain America and greatly admired him.
Her admiration might not even be inferior to Coulson's.
Influenced by such immersion, it was entirely plausible, logically speaking, for Sharon Carter to eventually become a superhero similar to Captain America.
However, it was truly a pity that this Captain Carter was cut in half by her own shield, dying a truly gruesome death.
Black Widow couldn't help but click her tongue repeatedly.
She even considered, if Sharon Carter truly became the Captain Carter mentioned in the diary in the future, whether she should let her join that Illuminati or not.
"Professor X?"
Black Widow also recalled this name immediately.
The diary had mentioned this name much earlier, but only in passing, without much description.
Black Widow only knew that this person, like Magneto, Mystique, and Cyclops, was a so-called "Mutant."
As for anything else, she wasn't too clear.
She couldn't even deduce this person's abilities from their highly distinctive nickname.
But Zhou Cheng considering this person and Captain Marvel as the strongest trump cards against Scarlet Witch showed that this person's strength was also very, very powerful.
