"Find the Gate of Eternity!"
"Find Eternity!"
Before another notebook, Nick Fury was overwhelmed by the power of Eternity, and at the same time, he felt a surge of excitement.
The director felt like he'd grasped something.
Since Eternity, one of the creators of the universe, was so powerful, wouldn't it solve the problem of Purple Potato, in addition to dealing with the Celestials?
Or rather, Purple Potato, at his level, would look utterly insignificant in front of Eternity.
Using Eternity to deal with Purple Potato was like using a howitzer to swat a mosquito; a complete waste of resources.
But the other, more serious threats revealed in the diary – like Infinite Ultron's slaughter of the multiverse, or the cosmic collision events triggered by Doctor Strange…
Could these suffocating, despair-inducing, universe-level events also seek help from Eternity?
Judging by Eternity's rank and abilities revealed in the diary, Nick Fury was quite optimistic about this.
He just didn't know where the Gate of Eternity was.
And how could one reach it?
This was something the Director naturally couldn't know, so he'd already secretly made a decision.
The next time he saw Thor, he would ask him about matters related to Eternity.
[Even if the Celestials created stars, planets, light, heat, gravity, and other basic cosmic elements, maintaining the operation of the universe and even creating galaxies.]
[Indeed, they are not to be underestimated, and one could even say they are so powerful that they are jaw-dropping.]
[But Eternity? That's a deity born at the moment of the Big Bang, the physical embodiment of the omniverse!]
[Besides the Living Tribunal, and of course, not counting Marvel's truly supreme One Above All, there's nothing that can compare, right?]
[The only problem is, the Gate of Eternity isn't something just anyone can reach!]
[Even someone like Gorr the God Butcher has to go to great lengths to snatch Thor's Stormbreaker.]
"So this is the truth behind the formation of stars?"
"It's actually... the Celestials?"
Tony Stark was directly shocked, one could even say he was dumbfounded.
As a world-class super scientist, even if he didn't specialize in astrophysics, the playboy was still clear and knowledgeable about the formation of stars.
Isn't it due to the collapse of molecular clouds?
As for planets?
Weren't they formed because the gravity of stars pulled together surrounding gases and dust, causing them to collide and accumulate, and then, through a series of complex evolutions, they slowly took shape?
But the diary told him that all of this was fake? All wrong? Stars and planets weren't formed naturally, but were created by the Celestials!
What a joke!
Even though Tony had possessed the diary for so long, and was its most senior holder, fully aware of the diary's absolute accuracy, he still couldn't quite believe it at this moment.
For no other reason.
This wave of spoilers was simply too shocking.
Even the playboy's long-held worldview had been shattered.
Even stars and planets were created by the Celestials, and even fundamental cosmic elements like light, heat, and gravity were created by the Celestials. So, what else in this world is real?
Aren't the Celestials the Gods recorded in the Bible?
Couldn't they be called the Creators?
So this is the truth of the world?
For Tony, who had researched science his entire life, studying cosmic rules and truths, it was truly difficult to accept.
Because from this perspective, behind that science, the true essence of that science, the end of the scientific path…
It was actually… "theology"?
When an outstanding scientist walks further and further down the path of science, ultimately unveiling the veil of all worldly truths.
What awaited them was actually "God created the world"?
So, is this the reason why Newton, Einstein, and other top scientists, in their later years, all began to study theology?
"So, is the end of science really theology?"
After a long time, the playboy finally revealed a bitter smile.
His heart had been greatly impacted.
"Sir, gods exist, and even the creator gods exist. Didn't the diary already say that?"
Jarvis's voice sounded from the side, the considerate AI starting to comfort the playboy.
"I know, of course."
"But I used to think those gods were just powerful aliens!"
Tony let out a long sigh.
After dealing with Thor, fighting the Destroyer of Asgard together,
fighting Loki together, and witnessing Captain America become Thor...
After experiencing all these things, gods were just... whatever in the playboy's heart.
It's nothing more than "individuals" who possess extraordinary power.
He's no different from the Destroyer, Tony Stark.
After all, the diary also mentioned that he, the great Tony, was comparable to a god in his mortal body.
Therefore, in terms of mentality, Tony had no reverence at all for those so-called gods.
He also genuinely felt that those gods were fundamentally nothing special.
Until this moment! The playboy was truly stimulated.
Even galaxies could be created, even the basic composition of the universe could be created. So this was the true ability of gods?
Indeed, it was terrifying! But Tony wasn't an ordinary person after all.
The truth behind the birth of the universe and galaxies indeed gave the playboy a serious jolt.
But only a few minutes later, Tony recovered, returning to normal.
So what if the Celestials could create stars? He, Tony, also knew the process of star formation, didn't he? It was nothing more than a series of physical and chemical changes! As long as he, Tony, had sufficient conditions, who could say he, Tony, couldn't do it? Just like the diary mentioned, the High Evolutionary could create life planets, so "creation" wasn't something only gods could do.
Or rather, it wasn't because gods could create, but that whoever could create, could become a god!
Could he, Tony, become such a god? If not limited to Earth civilization, if not only having a lifespan of less than a hundred years, he, Tony, might not be unable to!
Just like Howard, due to the limitations of the times, couldn't take the Arc Reactor further.
Now, Tony also faced the same predicament.
"Living Tribunal? What's that?"
In front of another diary, Thor frowned.
In this universe, is there actually an existence that can surpass even Eternity?
Living Tribunal?
Thor had never heard of this term before.
But since it's a "Tribunal," is this Living Tribunal used for judgment or adjudication?
What is it judging? Events related to life?
Through the name "Living Tribunal," Thor instinctively made some basic guesses. But whether it was correct or not, Thor didn't know.
And apart from that, Thor knew nothing else.
As for the One Above All, which the diary called "truly supreme"?
Thor hadn't heard of it either.
Even from the abbreviation "OAA," Thor couldn't make any other guesses.
In other words, apart from knowing that this OAA mentioned in the diary was very powerful, Thor couldn't come to any other conclusions.
But from the diary's tone, OAA's level was even above the Living Tribunal, no, it should be above everything.
This level was a bit too ridiculous, wasn't it? Was there really such an existence in the universe? Anyway, Thor had never heard of it, and even found it a bit unimaginable.
So Thor didn't waste any more time and planned to go back and ask his father, Odin, about it.
After making up his mind, Thor refocused his attention on the diary and couldn't help but feel surprised.
Stormbreaker?
The diary mentioned before that this was another artifact he possessed, besides Mjolnir.
But, what did this artifact have to do with reaching the Gate of Eternity? Why did Gorr the God Butcher need to snatch his Stormbreaker to reach the Gate of Eternity? What was so special about this Stormbreaker?
[So, the question is.] [The Stormbreaker integrated the Bifrost's ability, so it could reach the Gate of Eternity.] [Then what about Asgard's Bifrost?] [Now, Asgard's Bifrost should have been repaired, right? Besides, Asgard hasn't been blown to smithereens by the fire giant Surtur yet.] [Theoretically, Asgard could reach the Gate of Eternity at any time?] [It's just that, I don't know if Odin knows the location of the Gate of Eternity.]
The Bifrost? He had to admit, this answer was something Thor hadn't anticipated.
Stormbreaker actually has the function of the Bifrost?
Six, awesome!
This wave of features is really awesome.
In other words, having Stormbreaker means he can teleport to any place in the universe anytime, anywhere.
He doesn't need to go back to Asgard to use the Bifrost anymore.
This idea is really good!
Say, why didn't his previous self, no, why didn't his previous father think of this? If the Bifrost's function was also added to Mjolnir, it wouldn't be so difficult and troublesome when the Nine Realms were in chaos, right?
Hmm, he can go find Eitri later and see if he can get him to add this teleportation function.
Thor happily made this decision.
However, the reason Gorr the God Butcher snatched Stormbreaker was because it could teleport?
Well, it was indeed a bit unexpected when he first learned the answer, but on second thought, it made sense.
After all, the Bifrost's teleportation theoretically could send someone anywhere in the universe.
Even if it could teleport to the Gate of Eternity, that wouldn't be surprising.
That wasn't the key issue. The real issue was that no one knew the exact location of the Gate of Eternity!
So, did his father, Odin, know?
Thor was as curious as Zhou Cheng, the diary's owner, about this. He also didn't know at the moment.
Besides, had the fire giant Surtur really attacked Asgard?
And had he blown Asgard to smithereens?
So it seemed that Ragnarok was really triggered by Surtur?
His previous guess was correct!
"Surtur!"
Thor's gaze immediately sharpened. This guy was really asking for it!
He hadn't known before, but now that the diary had already reminded him, he absolutely wouldn't let it happen again.
Surtur, he had to take care of him in advance! [It's not clear whether Odin knows, but Thor probably doesn't.]
[Otherwise, as Marvel's most tragic superhero, why wouldn't he make a wish to Eternity to change his miserable fate?]
[Not to mention, when facing the unbeatable Hela, he wouldn't have released Surtur on his own, thus triggering Ragnarok, right?]
[Thor, who had been trying to prevent Ragnarok all along, actually triggered it himself, can you believe that?]
[I have to say, even though Thor isn't very bright usually, he still has some quick wit and courage at critical moments.]
Oh, wow!
What the hell!
Thor was instantly triggered.
He was even so shocked that he couldn't speak.
After learning the cruel truth of Ragnarok in Asgard, Thor had already sworn in his heart.
Even if it cost him his life, he would stop this from happening.
However, in the end, Ragnarok was actually triggered by him, Thor!
Are you kidding me!
This must be fake!
If this was true, wouldn't it mean that Thor had destroyed Asgard himself?
Destroyed his own home?
Was he crazy!
"Wait a moment!"
However, Thor was slightly stunned.
So, that's why there's a New Asgard?
Because the original Asgard had been blown to smithereens, and no longer existed?
That version of himself from another universe actually did that?
And he sacrificed the entire Asgard just to deal with his cheap sister, the death goddess Hela?
Was Hela that powerful?
Only Surtur could deal with her?
In an instant, Thor felt an extreme sense of… well, it was awkward.
Leaving aside the Dark Elves who were about to appear, his sister was truly a massive problem.
It put a tremendous amount of pressure on Thor.
If Hela was really as powerful as the diary described, Thor really wouldn't have any confidence in a fight.
The only consolation was that he knew about this in advance, so he could start preparing ahead of time.
Thinking of this, Thor felt a little more at ease.
In addition, the description of "releasing" Surtur also caught Thor's attention.
What does "releasing" mean?
Could it be that Surtur had been captured by Asgard and locked up before this? Otherwise, how else could it be called "releasing"?
