So you have it too? That thing called a diary?"
Thor was a little surprised; he hadn't expected that strange and mysterious thing to be held by so many people.
"Besides you all, are there any others who have this thing?"
Thor then asked, curious and puzzled.
"All the diary holders we currently know of are here," Black Widow explained to Thor.
"However, whether there are other holders we don't know about, we cannot say."
This diary was too mysterious to reveal anything about it to others.
Unless some people did things that clearly contradicted what was in the diary, or like Thor, stumbled upon it by accident.
Otherwise, even with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resources, it would be impossible to know.
"It seems my guess is correct," Tony Stark's voice continued, as the Playboy eloquently spoke.
"Currently, it appears that those chosen by the diary are direct or indirect participants in future major events, people who can greatly influence the future direction of the World."
On this point, both Nick Fury and Black Widow strongly agreed.
Because what the Playboy said was indeed true.
Of the four known diary holders, three were Avengers, and two were part of the Avengers' Big Three.
It could be confirmed that the Avengers participated in major events such as the New York Battle, the Endgame War, the Infinity War, and so on.
Among them, besides the New York Battle, which everyone understood in slightly more detail, only fragments of information were known about the other wars.
They only knew the tip of the iceberg.
But looking at these wars comprehensively, their scope was not limited to Earth but extended to other Planets like Titan, Sakaar, and Vormir.
The impacts included the sacrifice of half of Earth's population and the eradication of half of the Universe's living beings, among other things.
In other words.
Some actions of the Avengers had a huge impact on the entire Earth, and even the entire Universe!
Although Nick Fury was not an Avenger, he was, in any case, the founder of the Avengers.
Before the Avengers was taken over by the United Nations, some of the Avengers' actions must have involved Nick Fury's Shadow.
However, Nick Fury played the role of Commander, staying behind the scenes, so the diary mentioned him less in those related battles.
But no one could deny Nick Fury's importance.
"Or to put it more simply, those chosen by the diary are the protagonists of this World!"
Tony Stark's voice continued, as the Playboy made a simple, clear, yet vivid analogy.
Of course, it was also a little exaggerated.
However, Nick Fury and Black Widow understood what the Playboy meant and knew his personality.
No one argued with Tony Stark.
"Alright, Thor!"
After regaining his focus, Nick Fury turned his single eye back to Thor. "Now, I think I can dispel some of your doubts, right?"
Thor was somewhat speechless.
Emotionally, Thor still didn't believe that anyone on Midgard could predict the future.
But Captain America had indeed successfully lifted Thor's Hammer, just as recorded in the diary, and even summoned lightning!
Thor couldn't explain this at all.
It couldn't just be a coincidence, could it?
After all, it was too much of a coincidence.
"No matter who is playing tricks with this thing, I will definitely find out!"
"No one can play tricks in front of Thor!"
After a moment of contemplation, Thor only gave everyone this answer.
Even if Captain America really picked up the mjolnir, it wouldn't completely eliminate all of Thor's doubts at once.
It only lessened those doubts to some extent, nothing more.
But they still remained.
"Thor, I'm sorry, but we probably don't have time to wait for you to slowly figure it out," Nick Fury said again to Thor in a deep voice.
"Regarding Loki, regarding The Warriors Three, and regarding your Asgardian secret weapon the Destroyer, we would like to learn more from you."
"You really believe in the diary!"
Thor couldn't help but shake his head.
However, having read the diary himself, he also understood why Nick Fury wanted to know this information.
And for Thor, this information was not some unspeakable secret.
So he didn't hide anything.
"First, I want to make one thing clear: Loki is my biological brother, not adopted. This is complete nonsense!"
"Also, Loki has a famous nickname, 'God of Mischief.' He has many strategies in his mind, and he is also very good at magic."
"The Warriors Three, they are my best friends and my best comrades-in-arms."
"They have followed me into countless battles; every bit of my glory has a part of them."
"As for the Destroyer…"
Thor, a simple-minded, even somewhat naive fellow.
He really told everyone the information Nick Fury and the others wanted to know.
Of course, it was only some general information.
Even if Thor was foolish, he wouldn't casually reveal truly core secrets.
But for Nick Fury, Stark, and the others, it was enough.
"So, if The Warriors Three really come, there's a high probability they'll be on our side, or rather, on Thor's side," Tony Stark made a matter-of-fact judgment.
This was good news for everyone.
"Thor, The Warriors Three, the female warrior Sif, and Captain America—I mean, Captain America holding your mjolnir—can they deal with the Destroyer?" Black Widow asked Thor with a serious expression.
"What a joke!"
Thor immediately shook his head disdainfully, with a hint of anger. "Even if that mortal can pick up my mjolnir, do you think he can be compared to me? There is only one Thor, and that is me!"
"Thor, calm down, we didn't mean that."
"We just want to know if we can deal with the Destroyer."
Nick Fury quickly spoke to comfort Thor.
"With you all?"
Thor scoffed again. "Besides me, no power on Midgard can deal with the Destroyer!"
Although Thor's words contained a certain degree of subjective emotion and were not entirely objective.
Everyone still had a general understanding of the Destroyer's power level.
After the important information related to New Mexico, such as Loki, The Warriors Three, and the Destroyer, everyone also asked Thor about other important matters.
Among them, the most concerned topics were naturally the "Purple Sweet Potato" and the Infinity Stones.
However, it was a pity.
The diary's description of the "Purple Sweet Potato" was too scarce; the only conclusion that could be drawn from this nickname was that this person was a purple-skinned fellow.
And in the entire Universe, there were countless purple-skinned races.
Thor naturally couldn't give any precise judgment.
As for the Infinity Stones?
"You need to be more specific. What kind of power do those Stones contain? There are actually some Stones in my Asgardian treasury…"
Thor rambled on, showing off the Stones in the Asgardian treasury to the Avengers.
At this time, he didn't know what the Infinity Stones truly were.
It wasn't until the period of "Avengers 2," after finding the Water of Truth, that he would learn the secret of the Infinity Stones.
Nick Fury and the Playboy couldn't help but secretly shake their heads.
Thor probably didn't understand what they were really talking about!
However, they didn't show this thought but continued to ask about the Celestials, Dormammu, and other matters concerning the interstellar, and even the multiverse.
It couldn't be said that there was no gain, but it was actually quite limited, far from meeting their expectations.
Thor was a person of such high status, and everyone had high hopes for him.
But upon actual contact, they found that this guy's brain was actually full of muscles!
"Nick, are you really going to let Captain America deal with the Destroyer?"
After Thor left, Nick Fury, Black Widow, and Tony Stark gathered to discuss the next course of action.
After confirming that Captain America could indeed become Thor, everyone's previous plans naturally had to be adjusted accordingly.
As for Thor?
After Thor returned to his room, he fell into deep contemplation.
What happened at the meteorite crater had indeed deeply stimulated Thor.
He began to rack his brain, trying to figure out why such a thing happened.
Why couldn't he, as Thor, pick up the mjolnir, but a mortal could!
Thor still couldn't understand.
Whoosh!
Rubbing his face irritably, the next moment, Thor suddenly felt a blur before his eyes.
In the room, which had been empty save for him, another person appeared.
Loki!
Loki was wearing a black trench coat and a scarf, standing before Thor like a gentleman.
"Loki, you really came!"
Thor was instantly surprised and blurted out.
The diary was right!
Of course, as Thor said, even if the diary was right about this, it didn't matter.
His brother was exiled; wasn't it normal for his brother to come and see him?
???
But Loki, across from Thor, was slightly surprised.
Judging by the tone, Thor already knew he would come?
His foolish brother actually anticipated this?
No way?
When did his foolish brother become so clever?
"You knew I would come?"
Loki couldn't help but ask the question.
"Of course, I knew you would come to see me!"
Thor said as a matter of course.
Loki: "…"
Was it such a simple logic?
Well, his foolish brother's mind hadn't gotten sharper; he was still the same.
"Yes, I must see you, but not because I want to see you, but because there's something important I must tell you."
Loki's expression began to turn very serious and somber.
It looked like something major, and bad, had happened in Asgard.
Thor's heart immediately sank, and he stared intently at Loki: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Father has passed away," Loki told Thor this bad news in a very sorrowful tone.
Thor was stunned.
Thor was completely stunned.
However, Thor's bewilderment was completely different from the bewilderment Loki saw in his eyes.
It wasn't being caught off guard by the news of Odin's death.
Instead, he was caught off guard by the diary's precise prediction.
???
What the hell!
Loki actually told him the news of their father's death, just as the diary had said!
Exactly as recorded in the diary!
Why was this happening?
Could it be true, as Nick Fury and the others said, that everything recorded in the diary was real!
"Loki, you're lying to me, aren't you?"
"Father isn't dead at all, right?"
Thor suddenly looked up and asked Loki in a deep voice.
"I know it's hard to accept; I don't want to believe it either," Loki didn't think much of it, assuming Thor couldn't accept it, so he continued to explain to Thor.
If it had been before, the simple Thor would certainly not have had any doubts; he would have immediately believed Loki's lie.
But now...
"No, Loki, I'm going back to Asgard!"
"Whatever happened in Asgard, I'll know when I get back."
Thor said to Loki with conviction.
"I'm very sorry, Thor, but you can't go back," Loki continued to weave his lie.
Permanent exile!
Here it comes again!
The description in the diary had come true once more!
Thor's brain began to get confused; he was thoroughly bewildered.
He still somewhat refused to believe the diary, but the events in it kept coming true, making it impossible for Thor to ignore them.
"The burden of the throne now falls on me…"
Loki, still thinking Thor's confusion was due to the bad news he'd delivered, didn't pay it much mind and continued his subtle deception.
"Loki, this is all your lie, right?"
"You are the God of Mischief!"
But suddenly, Thor looked up and stared intently at Loki, speaking with a very certain tone.
Loki showed nothing on the surface, but inwardly, he was very surprised.
Thor wasn't fooled?
When did he become so smart?
Was this still the foolish brother who always fell for his tricks without question?
Could exile somehow boost one's intelligence?
