Not only that.
Through this spoiler, Thor immediately recalled something.
Inside Asgard's vault, there was indeed a colossal golden gauntlet.
That golden gauntlet was also inlaid with various colorful gems!
In the past, Thor hadn't paid much attention, as there were many treasures in Asgard's vault, and he didn't know every single one in detail; he mostly just had a general impression.
But now it seems that gauntlet must be the Infinity Gauntlet!
And if that's the case, then wouldn't the gems inlaid on the back of the gauntlet be the Infinity Stones?
So, the Infinity Stones, which the diary mentioned possessed immense power, were those very gems?
Asgard had them all along?
But that's not right!
After thinking more carefully, Thor couldn't help but frown slightly.
Didn't the diary say that his father, Odin, had already given up collecting the Infinity Stones?
But he remembered clearly that the gauntlet was already full of Infinity Stones!
Could it be that, besides the Infinity Stones inlaid on the gauntlet, there are other Infinity Stones in the Universe?
But this also seems a bit off.
After all, "Infinity Gauntlet" and "Infinity Stones"—just by their names, it's clear that the gauntlet and the stones are a set.
The slots reserved for the gems on the gauntlet are already filled. Doesn't this indicate that the collection is complete?
Did Zhou Cheng, the Master of the diary, make a mistake, or did he guess wrong? Even if the gauntlet is full, are there actually other stones?
Thor felt both possibilities existed.
But which specific situation it was, he couldn't come to a definite conclusion.
He would need to wait until he returned to Asgard to ask his father, Odin, properly.
"Infinity Gauntlet?"
Tony Stark, in front of another diary, instantly froze.
He noticed this crucial "item" mentioned in the diary.
Although this was the first time the diary had mentioned this term, there was no doubt that the Infinity Gauntlet was specifically created to hold the Infinity Stones, and the two were meant to be used together.
Even the specific method of use, the Playboy could figure out a pretty close approximation.
It was nothing more than embedding the gems somewhere on the gauntlet.
Then, the user would put on the Infinity Gauntlet and could use the power of the Infinity Stones.
The logic behind this was so obvious, clear, and straightforward; it was practically laid out before everyone's eyes, requiring little analysis to draw a conclusion.
That wasn't the problem.
The real question was, if Odin needed the Infinity Gauntlet to use the Infinity Stones, what about that Purple Sweet Potato?
Was it the same for him?
Due to a lack of sufficient understanding of the Infinity Stones and the Infinity Gauntlet, the Playboy naturally couldn't make a judgment on this outcome.
But one thing should be certain: the number of Infinity Stones shouldn't be too many.
After all, one gauntlet could hold them!
Considering the fact that the Purple Sweet Potato was collecting Infinity Stones, Tony Stark honestly didn't know for a moment whether this was good news or bad news.
On one hand, Infinity Stones could grant a relatively powerful force, and the more stones, the greater the amplification.
From this perspective, it seemed like a good thing.
But if the number of stones was too few, it also meant a lower difficulty in collecting them, making it relatively easier for the Purple Sweet Potato to gather them.
And that was not what the Playboy wanted to see.
[To deal with the Celestials, Odin truly went to great lengths.]
[I just wonder if Odin knows that there's an embryonic Celestial hidden on Earth right now!]
[It's a pity Odin died before that Celestial was born, so no one probably knows the answer to this question.]
[But then again, even if Odin knew, what could he do? He'd probably be powerless.]
[Looking at all of Asgard, besides Odin and Thor, everyone else is simply no match for the Celestials.]
[And of the prehistoric Avengers who fought against the Celestials a million years ago, only Odin remains a lonely figure now.]
[What else can Odin do? Rely on the current Avengers?]
"On Earth, there's actually a Celestial?"
Tony Stark's brow instantly furrowed.
After learning more about the Celestials from the diary, the Playboy truly couldn't bring himself to like this incredibly powerful race.
In Tony Stark's view, experimenting on higher life forms was an extremely evil and perverse thing.
Coupled with the actions of Ego, a defective Celestial, it only further convinced the Playboy that the Celestials were a group of villains.
Deep down, Tony Stark naturally didn't welcome them.
Initially, upon seeing the war between Odin and the Celestials, Tony Stark felt a sense of melancholy, but it was mostly a feeling of being an outsider.
After all, that was a million years ago.
Such a distant era basically couldn't have anything to do with them.
Of course, Ego's era was a bit closer, but Star-Lord was there to deal with Ego, so Tony Stark hadn't really paid much attention to it.
But the Playboy never expected that there were actually other Celestials on Earth!
Although the diary made it very clear that it was an "embryonic Celestial," not yet born, and would only be born in the future timeline after Odin's death.
But since it was an "embryonic" Celestial, does that mean there's a pregnant "mother Celestial" on Earth?
But that's not right either.
If that were the case, the diary would have just said there was a pregnant Celestial on Earth.
Why use such a strange phrase as "embryonic Celestial"?
It's as if there's only that embryonic Celestial on Earth, and no other Celestials!
Could it be that he was stuck in a fixed mindset?
Unconsciously applying the reproductive methods of mammals to the Celestial race?
Hmm, that's possible.
After some thought, Tony Stark couldn't help but nod to himself.
After all, for beings of the Celestials' level, the diary hadn't revealed anything about how they survive and reproduce, so the Playboy naturally couldn't know.
And for such a heaven-defying race, even if an embryo could survive independently, it shouldn't be anything strange.
There was nothing to dwell on, and Tony Stark didn't get bogged down in that detail.
What the Playboy was truly concerned about now was, why was there an embryonic Celestial on Earth?
Why did the Celestials choose to nurture this Celestial on Earth?
Also, judging by the diary's tone, it seems this embryonic Celestial should "mature" and truly be born not long from now!
This means that another Celestial will appear on Earth.
So, the question is.
What will that Celestial do on Earth?
Will it continue to experiment on Earthlings, like it did with the Eternal and Deviant?
Or will it do something else?
Or, will it do nothing and just leave?
Tony Stark naturally didn't know the answer.
But he knew very clearly that if that Celestial truly wanted to do something, it would be a disaster for the entire Earth!
After all, Odin, a million years ago, was traumatized.
Even a defective product like Ego could devour the entire Universe.
The power level of the Celestials was evident.
Just as the diary asked, can the Avengers truly handle a being of this level?
"Prehistoric Avengers?"
"There were Avengers in prehistoric times!"
Nick Fury, in front of another diary, was truly stimulated by this news.
Ever since Captain Marvel left Earth, Nick Fury had the idea of forming the Avengers to deal with alien threats.
He had always subconsciously believed that the Avengers was his "original creation."
But who would have thought that Avengers already existed in prehistoric times!
That was prehistoric times!
Earth was seemingly still in the Stone Age, and Earthlings were just a bunch of primitive people.
It must be said, this news completely caught Nick Fury off guard.
Of course, what caught him even more off guard was that, judging by the diary's tone, Odin was also one of the Avengers at that time!
Although he didn't know who the other Avengers were, since they fought against the Celestials with Odin, their power levels should be similar to Odin's.
Damn it, just thinking about this, Nick Fury couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
This prehistoric Avengers, their power level was ridiculously high, wasn't it?
Compared to this prehistoric Avengers, the Avengers he was assembling now were completely like children playing house.
Of course, Nick Fury also believed this was just for now.
The diary had revealed the future appearance of the Avengers, and there were quite a few terrifying gods among them.
For example, Scarlet Witch, who could tear through the multiverse after being corrupted; Doctor Strange, who could destroy the entire Universe after being corrupted; the mysterious robot Vision; Thor, who almost killed the Purple Sweet Potato with all the Infinity Stones after his transformation; and so on and so forth.
It was something to look forward to.
[The current Avengers are hopeless; they are simply too weak, mere trash in front of the Celestials.]
[And the future Avengers… well, the future Avengers are also hopeless.]
[Black Widow, Stark, and Vision are dead; Captain America and Barton are retired; Thor has left Earth.]
[Scarlet Witch is trapped in her utopia; Doctor Strange has returned to Kamar-Taj; Hulk is probably busy training She-Hulk.]
[Although the Avengers haven't officially disbanded, they are almost falling apart.]
[Even Nick Fury, to deal with the threat of the Elementals, can only turn to Spider-Man, that high school student!]
Oh, this!
Tony Stark's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
He knew that the Avengers would reach a peak in the future, powerful enough to engage with many powerful beings in space.
So powerful that many of its members would reach the top tier of the Universe.
But after their peak, the Avengers would decline to this state.
Honestly, it still caught the Playboy off guard.
He, Tony, and Black Widow dead, Captain America and Barton retired, Thor gone—wouldn't that leave only Dr. Banner from the original Avengers?
And Dr. Banner didn't seem to be having an easy time, training She-Hulk... Wait a minute, She-Hulk?
So Hulk wasn't unique?
Besides Dr. Banner, there was a second Hulk in the World?
How could such a thing happen?
Could it be General Ross, or some other ambitious person trying to replicate the super-soldier serum, or even an ambitious person trying to replicate Hulk, who created another Hulk?
Tony Stark was very clear about the rules of this World and very familiar with the true colors of those in power.
So he wasn't surprised by such a thing.
But the key question was, why would Hulk train She-Hulk?
The diary made it very clear: it was Hulk training She-Hulk, not Dr. Banner training She-Hulk!
Hulk?
Seriously?
Hulk could do things other than just mindlessly smashing everything?
As a victim who had personally experienced Hulk's smashing, Tony Stark expressed extreme doubt about this.
However, after a slight internal grumble, the Playboy stated that this was undoubtedly a good thing.
Although he didn't know how it was achieved, it seemed that the future Hulk would be able to control his anger.
Even control it very well, reaching the level of a normal person.
Otherwise, how could he train others?
He just wondered when Dr. Banner would reach this level.
Tony Stark was still very much looking forward to this.
"Elementals?"
And this new term quickly caught Tony Stark's high attention.
This term had never appeared before; it was the first time the diary mentioned it.
However, looking at the literal meaning, some things could be analyzed.
Tony Stark was naturally very familiar with the word "element"—physical elements, chemical elements, natural elements, etc., etc., having a very broad definition.
"Als" (People) goes without saying; doesn't it just mean a group?
So the natural explanation for "Elementals" is a group that controls a certain elemental power.
Although he didn't know who this group consisted of, just looking at this ability, the Elementals were very powerful and terrifying.
Of course, Spider-Man was also like that.
At the very least, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury believed that Spider-Man possessed the strength to deal with those Elementals!
And the diary also stated very clearly that at that time, Spider-Man was still a high school student!
Goodness, a high school student, completely a child!
The diary had mentioned before that Spider-Man's strength was even greater than Captain America's, able to pull high-speed trains and cruise ships with his bare hands.
As a result, he could reach this level when he was still a child?
Truly amazing!
