After a slight internal grumble, Tony refocused his attention on the diary.
A look of lamentation couldn't help but appear on his face.
During this encounter with the Future Avengers, he hadn't seen Black Widow.
So, Black Widow still went to Vormir, just as described in the diary, didn't she?
She sacrificed her soul there, forever giving her life.
Even Hulk's Snap later couldn't bring her back.
It's truly a pity!
However, Purple Sweet Potato actually massacred half the population of Asgard?
That guy, he actually turned his butcher's knife on Asgard?
The diary clearly stated that half of Asgard's population was not erased by Purple Sweet Potato's Snap, but massacred by Purple Sweet Potato!
These two are completely different.
And according to the diary, Hulk's Snap only revived the population that Purple Sweet Potato had erased.
Doesn't this mean that Asgard will forever lose half of its population?
Purple Sweet Potato, what have you done?!
He truly is an executioner whose hands are stained with blood!
"Purple Sweet Potato!"
Thor, who had just returned to Asgard and hadn't had time to go out and quell the rebellion, immediately became enraged.
A murderous glint even appeared in his eyes.
Purple Sweet Potato truly has a lot of nerve!
How dare he provoke Asgard!
Is it because I brought back the Tesseract?
Did he attack Asgard to collect the Infinity Stones?
But does Purple Sweet Potato have that ability?
To be able to massacre half the population of Asgard?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
The mysterious diary holders must be exaggerating.
Thor could not believe that such a powerful force existed in the Universe, even Purple Sweet Potato was absolutely impossible.
Their Asgard is not a pushover; they are one of the strongest races in the entire galaxy!
But no matter what, Purple Sweet Potato's act of wielding a butcher's knife against Asgard is unforgivable.
No, not just Asgard; Purple Sweet Potato even attacked the Dwarf race.
This made Thor even more furious.
The Dwarf race are good friends and allies of Asgard.
Countless artifacts in Asgard were forged by the Dwarf race, even Thor's mjolnir.
Thor absolutely would not allow Purple Sweet Potato to target the Dwarf race!
However, why would Purple Sweet Potato target the Dwarf race?
Thor wouldn't believe that the Dwarf race would have Infinity Stones in the future.
Could it be because of the Dwarf race's forging techniques?
After a brief moment of thought, Thor came to this obvious conclusion.
Just as his father went to the Dwarf race to forge the Infinity Gauntlet, Purple Sweet Potato's purpose in seeking out the Dwarf race was likely the same.
After all, the use of the Infinity Stones requires the Infinity Gauntlet to wield them.
But even so, was killing really necessary?
And didn't he always kill half and leave half? How did it come to the Dwarf race where only one person was left alive?
Damn it! Unforgivable!
Thor was truly enraged.
Thor had secretly made a decision in his heart: once the mess in Asgard was dealt with, he would focus on the Purple Sweet Potato problem.
At the very least, he needed to find out this person's identity first!
[But Star-Lord might not be so lucky; he won't meet Gamora at all!]
[And without Gamora's obstruction, Star-Lord should be directly captured by Rocket Raccoon and sent back to Yondu!]
[The Power Stone will fall into Yondu's hands!]
[And at that time, Ronan should still be looking for the Power Stone for Purple Sweet Potato, right? I feel that Yondu's Raiders simply can't be Ronan's match.]
[So the Power Stone will ultimately still be obtained by Ronan?]
[Without the Guardians of the Galaxy protecting it, wouldn't Xandar be destroyed prematurely?]
[Poor Xandar, even if it avoids Purple Sweet Potato, it still can't escape Ronan.]
"So Gamora was also taken to the future by Purple Sweet Potato."
This was so obvious that Tony came to this conclusion in a second.
This shows that Gamora is not only Purple Sweet Potato's daughter but also likely highly valued by Purple Sweet Potato.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken her to perform such a dangerous mission.
It's a pity, though, that Purple Sweet Potato is pushing his daughter into a pit of fire.
If Purple Sweet Potato hadn't brought Gamora to the future, Gamora wouldn't have ended up being turned to dust, would she?
As for Star-Lord being captured by Rocket Raccoon without Gamora, Tony naturally couldn't know the exact details of what happened.
But undoubtedly, these guys from the Guardians of the Galaxy probably didn't know each other at this time.
So.
Is this the beginning of the Guardians of the Galaxy's fate?
Is it what the diary mentioned: "The unreliable Rocket Raccoon met the unreliable Star-Lord and others, and then formed an unreliable team in an unreliable way"?
Tony felt that this was very possible.
But whether it was or not, only Zhou Cheng, the diary holders, would know.
In addition, another important piece of information was also confirmed here.
At that time, Star-Lord, as a subordinate of Yondu, indeed sought the Power Stone at Yondu's command, not of his own volition.
Thinking back, it was indeed reasonable.
After all, how could a nobody have the opportunity to come into contact with an existence of the Infinity Stones' caliber?
However, there was one thing Tony really hadn't expected: Ronan collecting Infinity Stones was actually running errands for Purple Sweet Potato!
Tony had previously grumbled, wondering if these two galactic overlords would fight over the Power Stone.
It turned out he was purely overthinking it.
Even Ronan was working for Purple Sweet Potato!
It seems that the difference in rank between Ronan and Purple Sweet Potato is quite significant.
Of course, this is only compared to Purple Sweet Potato.
Compared to Star-Lord and Yondu's "Raiders," Ronan is still very strong.
Zhou Cheng, the diary holders, made a very confident judgment that the Raiders would not be able to hold onto the Power Stone and it would be taken by Ronan.
There's nothing more to say about that.
Tony was not surprised that Ronan would destroy Xandar.
Although he didn't know why, the various spoilers in the diary had already indicated that Ronan seemed to have some grudge against Xandar.
But why would Purple Sweet Potato also destroy Xandar?
From the tone of the diary, if Ronan hadn't done it, Purple Sweet Potato would have done the same!
So did Xandar offend Purple Sweet Potato?
But why would Ronan still do this even if Purple Sweet Potato is gone?
Could it be that Xandar offended both Ronan and Purple Sweet Potato at the same time?
Then Xandar must be truly offensive!
However, despite his internal grumbling, Tony also made another speculation.
Considering that Purple Sweet Potato's goal is to collect the Infinity Stones, is there a possibility that Xandar actually has an Infinity Stone?
[Ronan is not Purple Sweet Potato and doesn't know if he will collect the Infinity Stones, but I feel that after Ronan destroys Xandar, he might also target Earth.]
[After all, when Ronan invaded Earth, he was scared away by Captain Marvel, which is an indelible shame for Ronan.]
[He used to fear Captain Marvel, but now with the Infinity Stones, he might make a comeback!]
[And Captain Marvel is not on Earth year-round; can the Avengers stop Ronan?]
[Even if they can stop him, it will undoubtedly be a tough battle.]
[Goodness, looking at it this way, even without Purple Sweet Potato, Earth is still not safe.]
Tony: "..."
Playboy was speechless!
Because what the diary said seemed to make a lot of sense!
The diary had mentioned before that Captain Marvel scared away Ronan the Accuser.
However, there were no further details about what exactly happened.
It wasn't until Tony specifically inquired about Captain Marvel with Fury that he finally got a general idea.
It turned out that because of the war between the Skrulls and the Kree back then, Ronan the Accuser had led a fleet to invade Earth.
But Captain Marvel single-handedly destroyed Ronan's various "interstellar missiles" and most of his fleet.
She literally scared Ronan away.
Considering this fact, if Ronan truly gained more powerful strength, such as obtaining the Power Stone, it is indeed not impossible for him to come to Earth to exact revenge.
This has logical rationality!
And what kind of existence is the Power Stone?
The Celestials can directly use it to destroy a Planet!
Considering Ronan's fleet, Earth seems to be in a truly precarious situation.
At least, this lineup appears to be stronger than the New York Battle launched by Loki leading the Chitauri.
But fortunately, although Captain Marvel is no longer on Earth, there is him, Destroyer Tony, and the Avengers!
Although Tony dared not boast that the Avengers would definitely defeat Ronan and beat him as Captain Marvel did back then.
But one thing is beyond doubt.
It's not that easy for Ronan to truly destroy Earth.
[No, no need to wait for Ronan to destroy it; Earth probably doesn't have many years left, right?]
[After all, tiamut's creation relies on life energy! As long as the population on Earth reaches a certain number, tiamut will awaken!]
[If Purple Sweet Potato hadn't erased half of Earth's population, it's hard to say if Earth would even last until the Endgame War.]
[Haha, that's how interesting things are.]
[Purple Sweet Potato, who ruthlessly wielded a butcher's knife against Earth, actually saved Earth in a way, can you believe it?]
[Of course, it's not the ultimate salvation, but at the very least, it delayed Earth's demise, didn't it?]
"Is this the truth about Earth's womb?"
"Is this how tiamut grows?"
Tony's expression instantly became extremely solemn.
When he first learned that tiamut was gestating in the center of Earth, Tony was certain that it would absorb energy from Earth in some form to grow.
Although Tony didn't know the specific form, the law of conservation of energy cannot be violated.
Now, Tony finally learned this shocking answer: the energy tiamut absorbed was life energy!
In other words, wasn't it those living humans?
This was the cruelest method Tony could imagine.
What kind of impact tiamut's absorption would have on all humans on Earth, that's beside the point for now.
But a stark reality was already laid out before Tony's eyes:
The more people there are on Earth, the faster tiamut will awaken!
And if that's truly the case, the diary wasn't wrong after all.
Purple Sweet Potato erasing half of Earth's population was indeed a "good thing."
Of course, this is only from the perspective of tiamut's creation.
So, is this the truth about Purple Sweet Potato interfering with tiamut's creation?
When the diary mentioned this point before, Tony was very curious about it.
He even couldn't help but wonder what Purple Sweet Potato had done to inadvertently benefit Earth.
Unexpectedly, in the end, it was still his crazy method of erasing galactic populations.
This method, without a doubt, Tony would never agree with.
The other diary holders would undoubtedly feel the same.
So, all said and done, the key ultimately still lies with the Infinity Stones.
Whether it's Purple Sweet Potato or the Celestials, their ultimate goal, or rather, their ultimate solution, all point to the Infinity Stones!
The weight of these words in Tony's heart grew even heavier.
[It's truly tragic; no matter how you look at it, a World without Purple Sweet Potato is still dangerous for Earth!]
[It might even be more dangerous.]
[But outside of Earth, things should be much better, as the Universe is indeed missing a somewhat paranoid madman.]
[As for the Infinity Stones, someone should still collect them.]
[If no surprises, it should be The Collector.]
[After all, when Asgard stored the Reality Stone with The Collector, The Collector had expressed his ambition.]
[He also intends to collect the Infinity Stones.]
[And in the TRN877 Universe, which is T'Challa Star-Lord's Universe, in a Universe without Purple Sweet Potato, The Collector became the new overlord!]
The Collector.
This was the second time the diary mentioned this name.
Tony had previously judged that this person should be a galactic big-shot, and now Tony's guess was confirmed.
Although the diary still didn't provide much information about this person's strength, someone who dares to collect Infinity Stones, could they be an ordinary person?
Especially in T'Challa Star-Lord's parallel Universe, this person became an overlord comparable to Purple Sweet Potato!
However, why would Asgard store the Reality Stone with The Collector?
Wait a minute, the Reality Stone!
Tony's eyes immediately lit up.
Following the Time, Power, Space, and Mind Stones, the diary finally revealed another Infinity Stone.
Considering the naming style of all Infinity Stones, does this Reality Stone have the ability to influence reality?
Like Scarlet Witch modifying the reality of Westview, would it influence reality in the same way?
If that's the case, then this Infinity Stone is simply defying the heavens!
It can only be said that it lives up to its name as an Infinity Stone; every single one of them exhibits such awe-inspiring characteristics.
