In an instant, Tony truly understood why the Black Panther Goddess was so terrified.
If Gorr the God Butcher was truly that terrifyingly powerful, then it was perfectly normal for the Black Panther Goddess to seek refuge.
After understanding the terrifying power of Gorr the God Butcher, Playboy's previous contempt and disdain for the Black Panther Goddess had basically disappeared.
"Impossible!"
"Zeus, such a great God, is a role model for all Gods, how could he be afraid of some God Butcher!"
Thor of Vanaheim immediately couldn't help but accuse Zhou Cheng.
As a devoted fan of Zeus, how could he allow anyone to belittle his idol like that?
Even if it was the Master of this mysterious diary!
Slander!
The other party must be slandering Zeus!
Thor was filled with indignation; if he could, he truly wanted to confront the other party and have a good debate.
"Black Death Sword!"
However, when Thor's gaze fell on this term, he instantly froze, even appearing somewhat unable to accept it.
Did something like the Black Death Sword truly exist?
Wasn't that just an absurd legend?
That's right.
Thor had heard the name of the Black Death Sword; not just Thor, but many Gods had heard of it.
But just as Earthlings heard of beings like Thor and Zeus and considered them legends, many Gods also regarded this sword, specifically for butchering Gods, as a legend.
How could a sword that grants the power to butcher Gods to anyone who wields it possibly exist!
But Thor could never have imagined that such a sword truly existed!
Whoosh!
In an instant, Thor's expression began to turn solemn.
For him, as a God, this was definitely not good news.
So, why did such a sword exist in the Universe!
Soon, Thor got the answer from the diary: God of the Symbiotes.
What kind of God is this?
The name sounds strange!
Thor tilted his head, falling into deep thought.
But unfortunately, no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't recall any related information; he had indeed never heard of such a God.
It seems I'll have to wait until I return to Asgard to ask my father.
But no matter who this God of the Symbiotes truly was, the fact that he could kill the Celestials and even forge weapons using their blood made him an incredibly formidable and terrifying individual.
One must know that those were the Celestials!
At that time, his father had used every trick in the book, all his methods, and only managed to kill a heavily injured Celestial, and that was it!
And when the Celestials returned, the prehistoric Avengers, including his father, were beaten beyond recognition!
Even without participating in that battle, just by listening to Odin's description, Thor could feel how powerful the Celestials were.
They were super powerful beings, far stronger than his father!
Yet, that God of the Symbiotes had actually killed the Celestials!
Was that God of the Symbiotes, whose name sounded a bit strange, truly that powerful?
Not only that, although he still didn't fully understand the God of the Symbiotes, the other party should be an enemy of the Celestials.
This made Thor feel a bit more favorably towards the God of the Symbiotes.
It's just that he didn't know why the Black Death Sword, forged by the God of the Symbiotes, would become a God-butchering sword?
Thor fell into deep thought.
Speaking of symbiotes, they are truly a very magical existence.
Unable to survive independently, they must combine with a host to live, yet they can bring extraordinary superpowers to the host, seeming to exist solely to strengthen others.
Isn't this a kind of "living armor"?
I just don't know if symbiotes will appear in this Universe in the future, and if the famous Venom will appear, as he is one of Spider-Man's most famous archenemies.
I noticed before that the Life Foundation organization also exists.
As I recall, in other Universes, it was this Life Foundation's spaceship that brought symbiotes from an alien planet.
I just don't know if they will do that in this Universe.
"Symbiotes, truly interesting beings."
Tony's interest was instantly piqued, and his eyes even couldn't help but emit a glow.
The kind of glow a scientist emits when encountering a very interesting research topic.
For Playboy, the "symbiotes" described in the diary, which cannot exist independently and must attach to a host, were indeed very interesting.
Looking at this description, aren't they very similar to parasites?
Yet, while parasitizing a host, they don't suck the host's energy like parasites; instead, they even strengthen the host!
It must be said that Tony had never seen such an existence before.
And the term "living armor" vividly described the form of existence of symbiotes to Tony.
So, does this thing, like his Iron Man Armor, cover a person's entire body?
And then, in this way, grant people great power?
Considering that symbiotes are not from Earth, but from beyond Earth.
So, besides parasitizing humans, symbiotes should also be able to parasitize other living organisms?
In addition, the diary also mentioned a name: Venom.
What is Venom?
Poisonous liquid?
Why would a symbiote be given such a name?
Is it because the symbiote is as deadly as venom, or because the symbiote's form resembles a puddle of poisonous liquid?
But whatever the reason, since it's named Venom, it probably isn't a good thing.
The fact that it's Spider-Man's archenemy further confirms this.
So, what about other symbiotes besides Venom?
Also, the diary mentioned that the symbiotes in that other Universe "rode" on the Life Foundation's spaceship.
So, did they come to Earth this way actively or passively?
Did the symbiotes autonomously invade the spaceship and come, or were they discovered and brought by the Life Foundation?
The nature of these two is completely different.
In an instant, a large number of questions all surged forth.
Some of these questions were of great importance, and Tony urgently wanted to figure them out.
But for now, information was extremely scarce, and Tony couldn't figure it out just because he wanted to.
However, there was one thing Tony could do, and that was to pay attention to the "Life Foundation" that the diary had just mentioned.
Not only was it mentioned in the diary, but Tony himself remembered that there was indeed a Life Foundation in their World.
Apparently, when it was first established, they even invited Tony to stand on stage.
"Jarvis, look up this Life Foundation."
Tony didn't hesitate; after collecting his thoughts, he immediately gave this command to Jarvis.
Jarvis, of course, didn't hesitate and faithfully carried out his boss's command immediately.
"The Life Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Carlton Drake."
"Its initial purpose was to conquer human intractable diseases such as cancer, but now, they seem to be very interested in space projects."
Jarvis began to introduce the Life Foundation to Tony.
"Wait a minute, Carlton Drake?"
Tony immediately interrupted Jarvis.
Carlton, that guy, Tony definitely knew him!
Tony hadn't reacted when the diary revealed the Life Foundation earlier, but as soon as Jarvis mentioned the name, he immediately recognized him.
"Is it that Carlton Drake?"
Because of this, Tony confirmed with Jarvis.
"Yes, sir, it's that Carlton Drake, who founded gene therapy at nineteen and doubled the life expectancy of pancreatic cancer patients."
Jarvis gave a very definite answer; this Carlton Drake was not an ordinary person either.
Compared to ordinary people, he could even be considered a legendary genius.
Otherwise, why would Tony know this person?
"I knew it was him."
Tony nodded, "I should have thought of it earlier, he made a big move back then, wasn't it the Life Foundation?"
There's just one thing.
The "Life Foundation," just by its name, suggests it's a medical-related organization.
Why would it suddenly get involved in space projects?
Thinking of this, Tony's brow furrowed slightly.
Could it be that Carlton, that guy, is pursuing space projects specifically for symbiotes?
Is his goal to bring symbiotes back from outer space?
Or am I completely overthinking it, and Carlton's involvement in space projects has his own reasons, completely unrelated to symbiotes?
Of course, these are all Tony's guesses; currently, there is no evidence to prove this, but even so, Tony made a decision.
He needed to thoroughly investigate the Life Foundation.
After all, regardless of whether their goal was symbiotes or not, since they were involved in space like in another Universe, there was still a potential risk in that regard!
But how should I put it, it doesn't matter anymore.
No matter whether the Life Foundation in this Universe brings symbiotes from outer space or not, the existence of Venom should be unavoidable.
You know, there's Spider-Man, that super mischievous kid!
I remember after Spider-Man's identity was exposed by Mysterio, he went to Doctor Strange for help, asking him to cast a magic spell to make everyone forget that he was Spider-Man.
As a result, Spider-Man kept interrupting Doctor Strange while he was casting the magic, disturbing him and causing Doctor Strange to accidentally tear the Multiverse.
This transported all of Spider-Man's enemies from across the Multiverse.
Besides Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, Electro, and those guys, Venom was also transported over.
However, Venom didn't cause any trouble; he only stayed in a bar for a few hours before being sent back.
But the problem is, even though Venom was sent away, he still left a small drop of Venom in this Universe.
Spider-Man?
So the appearance of Venom is also related to Spider-Man?
Seeing the diary mention Spider-Man again, Tony's spirits were instantly lifted.
Tony was quite interested in Spider-Man now.
However, after seeing Spider-Man's actions, he immediately felt speechless.
Just because his identity was exposed, he planned to use magic to make everyone in the World forget him?
This way of handling things was truly absurd, ridiculous, and childish enough.
It seems the diary was right; this Spider-Man is indeed a super mischievous kid, and his mental maturity should not be fully developed.
He might even still be in elementary school?
Tony was utterly speechless.
Although he somewhat couldn't understand why Spider-Man would hide his identity and be afraid of exposure.
In Tony's opinion, his current situation was actually quite good.
Everyone knew he was Destroyer, so what was the big deal?
But Tony believed that even if he were ten years younger, he would have countless ways to deal with similar situations.
No matter what, it wouldn't come to such an exaggerated display, would it?
And after complaining, Doctor Strange's power once again left a very deep impression on Tony.
This person truly lives up to his reputation as one of the most powerful handful of Avengers, and as an existence that could destroy the entire Universe if he turned dark.
He could even accidentally tear the Multiverse!
So, was this why Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, and those guys appeared in this Universe?
It seems Tony's previous guess was correct.
Doctor Octopus and Green Goblin and those guys were indeed from other Universes.
Then the other Spider-Men must undoubtedly be the same.
There was just one thing Tony didn't quite understand.
Doctor Strange was clearly casting a spell to make people forget Spider-Man, so why would it transport Spider-Man's archenemies?
Since they were Spider-Man's archenemies, they obviously remembered Spider-Man's existence!
Alright, even with Tony's wisdom and knowledge, problems in the field of magic were temporarily beyond his comprehension.
After all, it's "magic," so it must not follow scientific principles.
Tony didn't dwell on this issue and instead began to continue analyzing the relevant information.
According to previous spoilers, Doctor Strange repaired the Multiverse rift and sent all of Spider-Man's villains back.
But he uniquely left behind "a tiny drop" of Venom!
So the form of the symbiote is indeed liquid?
And judging by the diary's tone, a tiny drop of Venom, split from Venom, will survive independently in this Universe and become a new Venom.
Doesn't this mean that symbiotes possess this ability to split?
In other words, one Venom can become several Venoms!
Considering that Venom is Spider-Man's archenemy, it's clear that his own strength is at least not weaker than Spider-Man's.
With such strength and the ability to self-replicate, Venom is truly quite troublesome!
And this is only the Venom related to Spider-Man.
Tony hasn't forgotten that the Life Foundation also exists in their World!
It's still unknown whether Carlton, that guy, will bring other symbiotes from outer space.
The only comfort is that Earth's current technological level is indeed far from sufficient.
The Life Foundation has not developed spaceships capable of deep space travel.
So, even if they truly bring symbiotes like in another Universe, it will still be many years from now.
