However, there's one thing.
Didn't the diary previously say that Loki was forced to work for the Time Variance Authority, to capture Female Loki?
But then, it turns around and says that Loki and Female Loki worked together to expose the Time Keepers' true identities?
Although Playboy didn't know the exact details, he could guess the general idea.
Loki must have secretly conspired with Female Loki during the process of capturing her!
Then, while superficially dealing with the Time Variance Authority, they secretly worked together to cause trouble.
Not only that, they succeeded!
This is a dangerous spy-vs-spy scenario, playing on intelligence and nerve.
It seems Loki's title as God of Mischief isn't for nothing.
But...
The Time Keepers' true identities?
The real Time Keepers?
Although Tony Stark couldn't piece together the full picture of what happened from this simple description.
It seems that the Water within the Time Variance Authority is very deep!
Even characters like the Time Keepers have true and false versions.
Furthermore, Loki "exposed" the Time Keepers' false identities, doesn't this mean that the Time Keeper recognized by everyone in the Time Variance Authority is actually fake?
However, the "story" behind this was unknown to Playboy.
The same applied to breaking free from the Time Variance Authority's control.
The diary didn't reveal any relevant clues, so Tony Stark naturally couldn't guess it.
But for Loki, as a "prisoner" captured by the Time Variance Authority and forced to work for them, to meticulously plan and finally turn the tables, the difficulty of that can be imagined even by thinking with one's thigh.
One can only say that Loki truly lives up to his title as God of Mischief; he still has some tricks up his sleeve.
Of course, Loki now should not be captured by the Time Variance Authority anymore.
After all, Thor is still safely on Earth, and the New York Battle might not even happen.
Even if the Future Avengers still travel through time again, they definitely won't encounter Loki, right?
No, if the New York Battle doesn't happen, the Future Avengers will definitely travel to another timeline.
Also no, who said that if Thor and Loki don't have that big battle, the New York Battle won't happen?
Thor's brother's big battle was not the fundamental reason for the New York Battle.
The fundamental reason for the New York Battle was that S.H.I.E.L.D. was secretly researching the Tesseract, which caused the Tesseract's signal to be sent into the Universe.
Other Universe forces thought that Earth was ready for advanced warfare!
And then it attracted the attention of Purple Sweet Potato, right?
Otherwise, how would Purple Sweet Potato know the Tesseract was on Earth?
So, Loki being taken away by the Time Variance Authority is also related to the New York Battle!
The diary stated very clearly that if the New York Battle didn't happen, Loki wouldn't be taken away by the Time Variance Authority.
And everyone already knew that Loki was precisely the initiator of the New York Battle!
Connecting this with Loki being captured by the Time Variance Authority when he "escaped," if this inference is correct, then during the New York Battle, Loki was actually captured by the Avengers?
The diary had previously revealed that Black Widow closed the portal, completely ending the New York Battle.
The government also launched a nuclear bomb; regardless of the specific circumstances under which that nuclear bomb was launched, the Chitauri army in New York should have been eliminated.
Considering all these circumstances, the New York Battle should have been a victory for Earth!
The cost of that victory might have been quite tragic, as New York was very likely destroyed by the nuclear bomb.
But this is the cruelty and danger of interstellar warfare.
You have to know that the enemy everyone faced in the New York Battle was an alien force!
In addition.
The diary also just revealed that Loki escaped while the Future Avengers were traveling through time.
Then another obvious conclusion can be drawn:
The Future Avengers traveled to the time of the New York Battle!
This point was also confirmed in the diary's recent spoiler.
However, the Avengers here should not include Captain America.
After all, the purpose of the other Avengers is unknown to everyone, but Captain America was there to be with Peggy Carter.
So Captain America should have traveled to a much more distant past.
And then he stayed in the past, silently guarding Peggy Carter, until he appeared during the New York Battle.
And since the other Avengers also traveled to the time of the New York Battle, it's clear that Captain America should have joined up with those Avengers.
It's just unknown, what was the purpose of the Avengers traveling to the New York Battle?
They weren't trying to change history!
Connecting other related fragments, the Avengers traveled from the Endgame War, and after finishing their business during the New York Battle, they successively returned.
Only Captain America didn't do that; he "stood everyone up"!
Because Captain America followed Iron Man's advice and lived the life he wanted to live.
So, the general situation regarding the Avengers' time travel should be like this, right?
Playboy naturally couldn't know that his analysis had actually gone completely off track.
After all, without a God's perspective, how could he know that the time travel revealed by the diary was actually not the same time.
But twice!
After slightly clarifying his thoughts, Tony Stark's gaze returned to the diary.
His expression immediately turned a bit grim.
The fundamental reason for the New York Battle was not the great battle between Thor and Loki?
But Nick Fury's research on the Tesseract!
Damn it!
Playboy's mouth twitched slightly; this was not good news for him.
It could even be said to be a slap in the face.
Originally, when he saw the diary spoil the beginning and end of the New York Battle, Playboy secretly rejoiced that this New York Battle could be avoided.
But how long had he been happy before he was slapped in the face!
Was the New York Battle actually triggered by S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Those guys who are more likely to mess things up than succeed!
If you don't have the ability, don't randomly research the Tesseract; now look, it has brought such a disaster to Earth!
For a moment, Tony Stark had an impulse to rush over and stop and warn Nick Fury.
To tell him not to mess with the Tesseract.
However, that thought had just flashed through his mind before Playboy dismissed it.
Because Playboy knew it was too late.
Nick Fury must have already been doing this for a long time, perhaps even secretly researching it for an unknown duration!
Damn it.
This matter is truly too messed up!
What!
Purple Sweet Potato actually noticed Earth this way?
Nick Fury, in front of another diary, was also caught off guard by this spoiler.
All along, Nick Fury had been troubled by this New York Battle described in the diary, painstakingly preparing for this great war.
Things like the Whiplash special operations team, the early formation and training of the Avengers, and other methods, it can be said he put in a lot of effort.
At the same time, Nick Fury was also actively collecting intelligence, hoping to avoid this war from the source.
When he learned not long ago that the war could finally be avoided, he was ecstatic.
But then he turned around and found out that what triggered the New York Battle was precisely S.H.I.E.L.D.?
It was his own order to research the Tesseract?
Yes, Tony Stark's guess was correct.
S.H.I.E.L.D. had indeed been secretly researching the Tesseract all along.
Even though he couldn't persuade Tony Stark, and temporarily hadn't found truly capable scientists like Dr. Selvig, Nick Fury's steps hadn't stopped.
The research on the Tesseract had never stopped.
Even if there was no progress, it was still ongoing.
Especially after learning about the cruel future from the diary, Nick Fury had even significantly increased his efforts in researching the Tesseract.
But who would have thought it would be a case of reaping what he sowed!
What a mess!
Even a figure like Nick Fury couldn't help but twitch his mouth, feeling an immense headache.
So, next, should he stop researching the Tesseract?
Thinking of this, Nick Fury's expression began to become grave and serious.
This was a very important and major decision that required careful consideration.
Purple Sweet Potato has always been dedicated to collecting all the Infinity Stones; how could he remain indifferent after knowing that the Tesseract is on Earth?
He will definitely try every means to get his hands on the Tesseract! After all, the Space Stone is hidden inside the Tesseract.
So even if Loki doesn't fall into the abyss of the Universe and doesn't encounter Purple Sweet Potato, Purple Sweet Potato will definitely find other ways to invade Earth.
And Earth is Odin's territory, plus the Sorcerer Ancient One is protecting it, so Purple Sweet Potato probably wouldn't dare to directly wage war on Earth.
He would probably still find some other cannon fodder to test the waters.
Looking at it this way, the New York Battle might not be avoidable after all.
Confirmed!
Tony Stark's gaze sharpened.
Playboy had actually analyzed before that the gems Purple Sweet Potato possessed clearly showed a process of increasing from few to many, so he was very likely collecting Infinity Stones.
And now, the diary has given a definitive answer: his guess was correct.
Purple Sweet Potato was indeed collecting Infinity Stones.
So, the question is.
What is Purple Sweet Potato's purpose in collecting these Infinity Stones?
Collecting all the Infinity Stones would give Purple Sweet Potato power strong enough to rival Odin and the Sorcerer Ancient One.
What does he plan to do with that power?
Rule the Universe?
Or something else?
But whatever the purpose, it is an undeniable fact that Purple Sweet Potato has caused endless wars, leaving the entire Universe devastated.
He eliminated half of the life in the Universe.
Of course, the Avengers are also collecting Infinity Stones, and Black Widow even sacrificed herself for this.
Playboy naturally didn't know the purpose of everyone collecting Infinity Stones.
But when putting Purple Sweet Potato's and the Avengers' gem collection activities together, Tony Stark still sensed something.
Undoubtedly, it must be related to Purple Sweet Potato!
What?!
The Space Stone is hidden inside the Tesseract?
And when he saw this spoiler, Tony Stark expressed even greater astonishment.
All along, the diary's various holders knew that the Infinity Stones were incredibly powerful things that could give Purple Sweet Potato the power to challenge Odin.
But such high-level items were also something high above and out of reach for everyone.
Even knowing that the Future Avengers went to collect Infinity Stones, for everyone now, these things were simply untouchable!
Both Tony Stark and Nick Fury had this self-awareness.
But Tony Stark never expected that the Infinity Stones were so close to them, right there in S.H.I.E.L.D.!
The Tesseract, it turns out, is an Infinity Stone!
It must be said, this was truly too unexpected.
Playboy had always known that the Tesseract was no ordinary object, but something mysterious and incredibly powerful, but he never thought it was an Infinity Stone!
And it's the "Space Stone."
Following the Power Stone and Time Stone previously revealed by the diary, now the third Infinity Stone has also had its mysterious veil lifted by the diary.
In addition, Tony Stark also knew that there was an Infinity Stone on an alien Planet called Vormir.
But what kind of gem it was, he didn't know.
Wait a minute!
Space Stone?
Portal?
Playboy, who was sorting out his thoughts, suddenly sensed something.
The name "Space Stone" is too straightforward, so much so that one can understand the function of this gem at a glance.
Isn't that for spatial teleportation?
And coincidentally, a portal also appeared in the New York Battle!
According to everyone's analysis, that portal should have been used to transport the main force of the Chitauri, so it was undoubtedly a portal opened by Loki and his group.
Then what about Loki before that?
And he just happened to snatch the Tesseract from S.H.I.E.L.D.!
The connection between these events is so close, and the fragments fit so well, that Tony Stark had to make an obvious guess:
Did Loki use the Tesseract to open the portal and transport the Chitauri army?
It seems it must be right!
If that's the case, even if Nick Fury really researched the Tesseract and attracted Purple Sweet Potato's attention, and the New York Battle really happens again, there's still a way to remedy it.
No matter what, Loki must not be allowed to snatch the Tesseract!
In this way, even if Loki really comes to Earth, he won't be able to transport the main force of the Chitauri.
This is the most favorable situation for everyone!
So, if Loki can't get the Tesseract, will the Chitauri directly invade Earth with their interstellar fleet?
Considering all the clues from the diary, Playboy felt that the possibility was relatively small.
At this time, Earth was protected by Odin and the Sorcerer Ancient One.
If Purple Sweet Potato really had the guts, he would just send the fleet directly; why bother trying to trick Loki?
Thinking about it now, the reason he used spatial teleportation was actually to avoid Odin's detection, right?
So, the New York Battle is not without any room for maneuver!
