Beyond that, some other related confusions were also cleared up here.
The diary had previously revealed that after Thor returned to Asgard following the New Mexico battle, Loki fell into the cosmic abyss and died.
This greatly puzzled Tony Stark, because if Loki died, how would he launch the New York Battle?
This contradicted all known intelligence.
Now Tony Stark finally understood: Loki never died at all!
Thinking carefully, wasn't what was recorded in that diary also an ambiguous statement, easy to misunderstand?
Thor, after returning to Asgard, "watched Loki fall into the cosmic abyss and die"—this was a description from Thor's perspective.
It described what Thor saw!
And after Thor saw Loki fall into the cosmic abyss, he believed Loki had died!
Although he had never personally seen the cosmic abyss, just from the literal meaning of the term, the Playboy could roughly imagine what kind of place it was.
It seems just like mortals falling into a cliff abyss or something, a god falling into the cosmic abyss must also be an extremely dangerous, even life-threatening, event.
So when Loki fell into the cosmic abyss, Thor instinctively assumed Loki had died.
What was the result?
That guy Loki was incredibly lucky; he didn't die at all and even encountered the Purple Sweet Potato!
Subsequently, he was tricked by the Purple Sweet Potato into invading New York!
Purple Sweet Potato, it's you again!
What exactly do you want to do?!
What is your purpose in invading New York?!
Tony Stark truly wanted to figure this out.
After all, Earth has not yet reached the interstellar age; its greatest achievement is merely landing on the moon.
How did it offend an interstellar big shot?
Could it be due to a grudge at Odin's level?
In myths and legends, Earth is one of the Nine Realms, and the diary had already clearly stated that Earth is Odin's territory.
So, is it because Odin offended the Purple Sweet Potato, and the Purple Sweet Potato, not daring to directly confront Odin, instead unleashed his anger on Odin's territory?
This was the only reasonable explanation Tony Stark could think of, but whether it was true or not, the Playboy couldn't guarantee.
The truth, it seems, can only be known by Zhou Cheng, the Master of the diary.
"The key to the New York Battle lies in that great battle between Thor and Loki!"
In front of another diary, Nick Fury, his single eye also gleamed.
This news, for Nick Fury, was truly good news.
One could even say it was the most valuable piece of information among the many spoilers in the diary.
Why?
Because this spoiler directly showed Nick Fury a way to avoid the New York Battle.
A simple, direct, and effective method.
Just avoid letting Loki fall into the cosmic abyss, wouldn't that solve it?
That way, Loki wouldn't encounter the Purple Sweet Potato, and wouldn't be tricked by the Purple Sweet Potato, right?
Simply perfect!
It could be said that it directly nipped the New York Battle in the bud, at its source!
Not to mention that Thor is also a diary holder; after seeing this spoiler, he will certainly avoid this from happening.
Just look at Thor's current situation; it's the most favorable situation for the overall picture.
Thor is stuck on Earth and can't return to Asgard, so how could he have a great battle with Loki?
Things like falling into the cosmic abyss certainly won't happen either!
Good news!
This is indeed good news!
Nick Fury's mood couldn't have been better.
Then Loki would truly be ecstatic.
Without Thor's interference, Loki could let loose and wreak havoc in Asgard!
It's even possible that Loki has already secretly let Laufey, the King of the Frost Giant, into Asgard, into the place where Odin is undergoing the Odinsleep.
Then, when Laufey planned to kill Odin, he would decisively strike and eliminate Laufey.
He would kill his own biological father!
One has to say Loki is truly ruthless; to gain Odin's approval, he would even kill his own father!
He also planned to destroy his entire homeland, Jotunheim!
If Thor couldn't return in time, wouldn't Loki succeed?
He would instantly become a great hero who saved his father's life and eliminated Asgard's enemies!
Amazing! Truly worthy of being the God of Mischief!
"This is… truly explosive!"
Tony Stark couldn't help but exclaim, his face burning with the Fire of gossip.
The diary had previously "revealed" that Loki was not Odin's biological son, and his true identity was a Frost Giant.
But even so, the Playboy never expected that Loki was actually the son of Laufey, the King of the Frost Giant!
In other words.
Loki is the Prince of Jotunheim!
Damn it, is Loki's background actually that significant?
But thinking about it, it makes sense.
Even if Frigga, Thor's mother, had an affair with a Frost Giant, given her status and position, an ordinary person probably wouldn't catch her eye, right?
Having an affair with the King of the Frost Giant is much more reasonable.
So, this is the real reason why the Frost Giant and Asgard have been constantly at war?
All because of this love triangle?
Tony Stark couldn't help but start fantasizing.
But how to put it, although it was a somewhat mischievous and wild fantasy from the Playboy, it wasn't entirely impossible.
It even had a logical basis.
Of course, whether it was actually like this, the Playboy didn't know; he could only say such a possibility existed.
However, Tony Stark was truly surprised that Loki, despite not being Odin's biological son, admired and was loyal to Odin to such an extent.
To gain Odin's approval, this guy actually killed his own father and destroyed his homeland!
Ruthless!
This is a ruthless person!
No, this is a truly vicious person.
The only pitiable one is Laufey.
His own son, yet to gain the approval of his enemy, he would design to kill himself!
Tragic, truly too tragic.
What sin did Laufey commit in his previous life to give birth to such a troublesome kid as Loki, and lose his life for nothing?
"Secretly letting Laufey into Asgard to assassinate Father?"
"Destroying all of Jotunheim?"
Are these things Loki would do?
Thor was severely provoked; while extremely shocked, he also felt extreme anger.
Loki actually acted so recklessly!
This is too lawless!
Even if he wanted to gain Father's approval, he shouldn't arrange for Laufey to assassinate Father, right?
What if Laufey actually succeeded?
Wouldn't Father be in danger?
The diary stated very clearly that Laufey attempted to assassinate Father while Father was undergoing the Odinsleep.
At that time, Father was completely like a fish on a chopping block, utterly defenseless!
Excessive, too excessive!
As for destroying all of Jotunheim, it's the same.
Even if Asgard and Jotunheim have been at war for years, there shouldn't be genocide, right?
That is not something Asgard should do.
Absurd, truly too absurd!
So Loki, is this truly you?
If he hadn't just experienced Loki's deception and assassination, Thor would never have believed this latest wave of spoilers.
And now.
All Thor could think about was picking up his mjolnir as soon as possible and returning to Asgard to stop Loki!
Absolutely, absolutely, Loki's scheme must not succeed.
Actually, Loki is also a pitiable child.
On the surface, he appears to be a big villain, causing trouble in Asgard and on Earth.
But in reality, all this trouble was simply because he wanted to be on equal footing with Thor, nothing more.
Deep down, Loki is merely a pitiable child whose mind has become somewhat twisted due to jealousy over Odin's favoritism towards his brother.
That's why, when the Bifrost Bridge was destroyed by Thor and his plan was ruined by Thor, Loki became disheartened and willingly fell into the cosmic abyss.
He truly had a death wish!
Oh, this!
Tony Stark was completely stunned for a moment.
One has to say, the Playboy truly didn't expect such an inside story to be hidden behind all the trouble Loki caused.
So the most fundamental reason for the New York Battle was actually Odin's failed family education?
Because Odin favored Thor, Loki developed an extreme sense of imbalance over a long period.
So Loki caused all sorts of trouble to prove himself to Odin?
Just like Loki wanting to destroy Jotunheim?
No wonder!
Only at this moment did Tony Stark somewhat understand why Loki, the God of Mischief, was tricked by the Purple Sweet Potato.
Perhaps it was because the Purple Sweet Potato seized Loki's weakness, right?
From this perspective, Zhou Cheng was indeed right; that Loki truly is a pitiable child.
Tony Stark also truly didn't expect that Loki falling into the cosmic abyss was actually suicide!
From this action, one could see how desperate Loki was at that time.
"Loki just wants to be on equal footing with me?"
Thor, in front of another diary, fell into deep thought.
So this was the reason Loki wanted to trick him into staying on Midgard forever?
Was this the reason Loki sent the Destroyer to kill him?
Because without him, Loki could receive all of Father's love?
Is this the root of everything?
When the diary didn't specifically point it out, Thor didn't feel anything and had never considered such a question.
But now, recalling it carefully, it seems that Loki has indeed been overlooked by everyone all along.
In so many battles and campaigns, Loki actually played no small role.
But every time they returned victorious, it seemed the applause was always for him, Thor.
What Father praised in front of all the warriors was indeed him, Thor!
But Loki is also a Prince!
Thor, the God of Thunder, and Loki, the God of Fire, the names of both brothers should be praised together!
"It's all my fault!"
"All of this is my fault!"
At this moment of knowing the truth, Thor's anger and resentment towards Loki largely disappeared.
Instead, deep remorse and self-blame began to set in.
If only he had paid attention to Loki earlier, if only he hadn't neglected Loki so much.
Thor had already secretly made a decision in his heart: once he returned to Asgard, he would have an open and honest talk with Loki.
He would apologize properly to Loki!
The only frustrating thing was that Thor truly didn't know when he would be able to pick up his mjolnir.
It seems that not only Odin, but the entire Marvel is unfriendly to Loki. Is this Loki's fate?
The Avengers traveled through time and disrupted the timeline, yet nothing happened, and it was allowed by the Time Variance Authority.
It was deemed as something that should have happened on the Sacred Timeline.
But what about Loki?
He merely escaped by taking advantage of the Avengers' time travel, and that was it, yet he was caught by the Time Variance Authority!
He was even forced to work for the Time Variance Authority, to hunt down another Female Loki.
Seeing Loki being manipulated by the Time Variance Authority once again made me feel that he is a pitiable child.
"So, it wasn't just Roger who traveled through time?"
A look of surprise once again appeared on Tony Stark's face.
One has to say, this was something he never expected.
Although he couldn't yet figure out how this was done, even just by thinking about it, the Playboy knew that time travel must be extremely difficult.
It's definitely not something just anyone can do.
But in the future, many people have done it!
So it seems that the future Avengers have mastered a mature method of time travel!
Truly worthy of being the Avengers, a gathering of various great gods; they can even achieve something that is currently just science fiction.
I just don't know if time travel is done using scientific methods or magic methods?
No matter how you think about it, this is a very interesting thing!
There's just one thing.
Time travel is no small matter; what difficulties did the Avengers encounter that necessitated them traveling through time to accomplish?
"Sacred Timeline."
And when the Playboy's gaze fell on this term again, his brows couldn't help but furrow.
This term had appeared before; at that time, Tony Stark speculated that a timeline not interfered with by time travel might be the Sacred Timeline.
But now, the diary tells him that the Avengers' time travel is also part of the Sacred Timeline!
What the heck.
So what exactly is the Sacred Timeline?
What is the standard for its determination?
He still strongly agreed with Zhou Cheng's complaint: why was the Avengers' behavior deemed reasonable by the Time Variance Authority, while Loki's behavior was deemed unreasonable and he was immediately arrested?
There must be a standard for this, right?
Of course.
This was the first time the diary mentioned the term Time Variance Authority.
However, since the Time Variance Authority had already been mentioned before.
With the Playboy's intelligence, he naturally instantly analyzed that this was an abbreviation for the Time Variance Authority.
