Of course.
This was just Tony Stark's subconscious guess; the Playboy had no way of knowing whether or not it was actually the case.
However, Tony wasn't too concerned about it. In fact, compared to Ms. Marvel, Tony was more interested in Spider-Man.
The diary had mentioned Spider-Man many times before. Although it didn't reveal much information, Tony felt that the other party's personality was very much to his liking.
Tony himself hadn't expected that his relationship with Spider-Man in the future, or rather, his counterpart in another World, would be truly extraordinary.
Without mentioning anything else, the fact that everyone generally considered the other party his successor was enough to explain everything.
He, Tony, even gave the other party a drone army.
Tony Stark certainly didn't have that drone army now, but judging by the name, it didn't seem like a complex thing.
If Tony wanted to, he could design several sets in minutes based on specific requirements.
Of course.
This was only for Tony.
Given Tony's level, even a small trinket that slipped through his fingers would be incredibly precious to ordinary people.
The fact that his counterpart in another World could leave Spider-Man a drone army was enough to show how highly he valued Spider-Man.
"I really want to know who this Spider-Man is," Tony muttered to himself.
Instantly, his interest in this Spider-Man reached its peak.
Since his counterpart in that other Universe was so fond of Spider-Man, it was highly probable that he, too, would be very fond of the other party.
But could this Spider-Man really cause such a ruckus?
He actually caused a disturbance that disrupted the multiverse?
Unbelievable!
Tony couldn't help but Marvel at Spider-Man.
According to the diary, Spider-Man was still a high school student even when the future Avengers was in name only.
Zhou Cheng listed him as a Young Avengers candidate, which also showed that the other party must still be young.
But even so, could he cause something like disturbing the multiverse?
This was truly remarkable.
One must know that even Tony himself couldn't disrupt the multiverse if he wanted to.
"I almost forgot, after the Spider-Men teamed up to defeat Doctor Octopus and Green Goblin, Doctor Strange used magic to mend the cracks between the multiverses."
"This directly led to everyone in the World forgetting Spider-Man's existence!"
"So, Spider-Man here is temporarily pending."
"Then who else could join this Young Avengers?"
"Oh, right, Morgan Stark! This is Iron Man's daughter! She should be grown up by then, right?"
"'I love you 3000' is one of Marvel's famous scenes."
"Plus, Morgan showed a strong interest in the Iron Man Armor from a young age, so inheriting Stark's legacy is not surprising."
"Spider-Men."
Tony's eyebrow immediately arched.
That 'men' was full of information. So, there was more than one Spider-Man in the World?
Were they like the second-generation Captain America or third-generation Ant-Man, divided into many generations?
A continuous succession between old and new Spider-Men?
But that didn't make sense. The Spider-Man mentioned in the diary was clearly very young!
So if there was a succession, it must have been other Spider-Men who passed it on to him, which would mean that there must be Spider-Men active now!
But Tony had Jarvis search for Spider-Man a long time ago, and not a single piece of related information was found.
It wasn't that the Playboy was boasting, but if even Jarvis couldn't find anything, it was enough to show that there was no information about Spider-Man on the internet at all.
In other words, Spider-Man should not exist.
What's more.
Given the style of Zhou Cheng, the diary holders, when describing some superheroes, if they inherited from a previous generation of superheroes, it would definitely be stated.
For example, the second and third generation Captain America, the second generation Ant-Man, the second generation Hawkeye, and so on.
For those without any prefix, directly stating their nicknames, such as Ms. Marvel or Patriot, it indicates that they are not someone's successor.
Combining this with the diary's mentions of "disturbing the multiverse" and "cracks in the multiverse."
Tony was more inclined to believe that the additional Spider-Men were Spider-Men from other parallel Universes!
After all, if the multiverse had cracks, it was normal for a few people to wander in, right?
"What a kid, he can really cause trouble!" Tony exclaimed again.
Although he didn't know how Spider-Man caused trouble, did he really cause cracks in the multiverse?
Naughty children are truly terrifying!
As for Doctor Octopus and Green Goblin, although it was his first time seeing them, he knew from their nicknames that they were not ordinary people; they were definitely extraordinary individuals.
Considering that the Spider-Men from the multiverse teamed up to defeat them, the Playboy naturally made a guess:
It was likely that Doctor Octopus and Green Goblin were also from the multiverse!
As for Doctor Strange using magic to mend the cracks in the multiverse, Tony, after being instinctively surprised, quickly found it to be a matter of course.
Doctor Strange, he was also a super big shot!
A corrupted version of him could even directly destroy a Universe. If not corrupted, mending the cracks in the multiverse was not surprising for him to achieve.
There was no problem with this.
There was just one thing Tony really didn't quite understand.
Why would everyone in the World forget Spider-Man once the cracks in the multiverse were mended?
These two things seemed completely unrelated!
However, due to the lack of necessary information, Tony couldn't figure out the exact situation.
The Playboy didn't dwell on it too much and continued to focus his gaze on the diary, his eyes immediately lighting up.
Morgan Stark!
His daughter, Tony!
This was undoubtedly the daughter of him and Pepper, right?
Wait a minute, Morgan?
Tony's expression immediately shifted.
How did he remember that Pepper's very peculiar uncle had that name?
This couldn't be a coincidence, could it?
No, it shouldn't be a coincidence. There's no such thing as such a coincidence in the World. It must have been intentional on the part of his other self.
Naming his precious daughter so casually indeed fit Tony's personality.
Thinking that his other self had left behind a daughter before sacrificing himself in the Endgame War, Tony immediately felt a lot of relief.
For his other self.
He just didn't know who said "I love you 3000" to whom?
Did Tony say it to his daughter, or did his daughter say it to Tony?
Or, did they both say it to each other?
Tony felt that this question didn't need to be made so clear, after all, no matter which scenario, it was something he was happy to see.
So, besides his daughter, what other young superheroes in the future could join that Young Avengers?
With great curiosity, Tony Stark continued to focus his attention on the diary, hoping to get further answers.
However, after waiting for several minutes, the diary remained silent.
Tony immediately knew that the diary had once again stopped updating without warning.
Tony had had the diary for a long time now, and he understood the diary holders' habits very well.
So, Tony didn't hesitate at all. He decisively put away the diary and began to busy himself with serious matters.
What serious matters?
Of course, it was the important information revealed in the diary.
First and foremost, it was undoubtedly his third archenemy, and also the founder of the infamous terrorist organization, Ten Rings Gang, Kilian!
"Jarvis, conduct a comprehensive investigation into Kilian and see if you can find anything."
Tony immediately gave Jarvis this command.
Jarvis naturally faithfully executed Tony's command, conducting a detailed search for Kilian across the entire network.
"Sir, I'm afraid I haven't found what you're looking for."
However, Jarvis quickly gave this answer.
Tony wasn't surprised by this.
Information about the Ten Rings Gang and the Extremis Warrior should indeed not be that easy to investigate.
To truly find something concrete, it seemed he would have to infiltrate Vanguard Tech's servers.
And this kind of thing wasn't something Tony could just say and Jarvis could easily do.
At the very least, Jarvis couldn't even connect to Vanguard Tech's local area network, could he?
However, this wasn't a difficult task for Tony. He could easily accomplish it with a little planning and arrangement.
Tony even believed that even without him doing it himself, Nick Fury, also a diary holders, wouldn't let Kilian off the hook.
"Coulson."
Tony's guess was correct.
Nick Fury, in his Triskelion office, immediately called over the honest Coulson.
Slap!
He directly slapped a recently printed personnel file in front of Coulson.
Coulson glanced at it and saw that it was a successful entrepreneur, seemingly normal on the surface.
However, since his Officer was targeting this person, it meant that this person must have other hidden facets.
Coulson didn't say much but stood quietly, waiting for Nick Fury's next words.
"This person appears to be the founder and head of Vanguard Tech, but this is just his cover."
"I received secret intelligence that he is actually the true leader of the Ten Rings Gang."
As expected, Nick Fury then provided the answer, which immediately startled Coulson.
Leader of the Ten Rings Gang?
Isn't it that fierce old man with a long beard? It's actually this handsome and gentle entrepreneur?
The contrast was too great.
However, since the Officer had given him this task, Coulson naturally knew that the Officer must have a considerable degree of certainty.
He didn't waste any words and directly accepted it.
"In addition, Kilian also possesses a type of super-soldier called 'Extremis Warrior.'"
"It's highly possible that he himself is also a super-soldier."
"I also want you to investigate everything about the 'Extremis Warrior.'"
Just as he nodded, Nick Fury's voice rang out again.
Coulson's expression immediately became solemn and serious.
It was already troublesome enough to be involved with the Ten Rings Gang, and now it also involved super-soldiers.
The scope of this mission was truly not small.
The honest Coulson immediately understood.
"Officer, what kind of warriors are these 'Extremis Warriors'?"
After a slight pause, Coulson asked Nick Fury this very crucial question.
"All I can tell you is that they possess the power to directly counter Stark's Destroyer."
Nick Fury answered Coulson in a profound, all-knowing tone.
But in reality, he only knew that much.
Coulson couldn't help but feel a chill.
If Kilian truly possessed such terrifying power, then this mission, even for him, would be very tricky.
However, as a seasoned senior Agent, Coulson naturally wouldn't raise any objections.
All he had to do was to do his best to complete the task given by his Officer, nothing more.
"Attention, your mission is only to investigate in secret. Do not alert the enemy, understood?"
However, Nick Fury didn't intend for Coulson to take any action. He added to Coulson again.
"Understood, Officer."
"Alright, you may go."
After giving the order, Nick Fury waved his hand and dismissed Coulson.
"Hill, I have a mission for you."
After Coulson, Nick Fury called Agent Hill over.
He assigned her the matter of the Ten Rings.
"And after that?"
This investigation task wasn't difficult, especially since Nick Fury had given a precise name. Agent Hill then pressed further.
"There is no 'after that.' Your mission is solely to investigate. Do not do anything else."
Nick Fury solemnly instructed Agent Hill. He himself indeed planned it that way.
Although he was investigating both Kilian and the Ten Rings, his strategies for the two were completely different.
Nick Fury had already decided to eliminate Kilian.
Of course, he also wanted to get his hands on the method for creating Extremis Warrior as much as possible.
But as for the Ten Rings, Nick Fury had no intention of doing anything.
He simply wanted to understand those potential threats who possessed great power.
"Understood, Officer!"
Agent Hill also accepted the order and left.
With Nick Fury's command, two senior S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents began to immerse themselves in efficient and busy work.
However, just on the third day, Coulson's mission became defunct because Tony's assistance was simply too powerful.
Coulson's mission had just been deployed and had not yielded any results yet, when Stark had already uncovered all of Kilian's secrets.
And sent them to Nick Fury.
Nick Fury opened it and looked, his spirits immediately lifting.
The evidence Tony sent was irrefutable.
Enough to prove that Kilian was the founder and controller of the Ten Rings Gang!
