Asgard.
King's Hall.
Odin and Thor, father and son, both clad in armor, stood on the "balcony" at the highest point, overlooking all of Asgard.
Thor basked in the gentle breeze as he gazed upon the realm he ruled.
For the first time in his life, he had a whole new understanding of the word "Asgard."
He thought of his former self, who only enjoyed the feeling of being admired by all, basking in the worship and applause.
It was all so shallow.
But now?
After everything he had been through, Thor's state of mind had completely changed.
Sometimes, Thor really felt grateful for his father's exile of him back then.
It was that exile that made him who he was.
"Has the rebellion in Vanaheim ended?"
Odin's voice echoed in his ears, the voice of the God-King, tinged with a hint of warmth.
And that, in the past, would have been completely impossible.
In this period of time, the changes weren't just in Thor; there were changes in Odin as well.
"Yes, Father."
"Vanaheim has returned to peace, and so have Jotunheim and Svartalfheim."
"It's all over, Father."
"The rebellion in the Nine Realms is completely finished."
Thor nodded, giving a very affirmative answer.
He also sincerely sighed, "If you had personally led the army, Father, the war would have ended even sooner."
"You must think of me as a piece of bread, right?" Odin chuckled, "Always spreading on some sweet words."
Thor also laughed.
The father and son had a great conversation at the highest point of Asgard. The atmosphere was excellent.
"By the way, Father, have you heard of the Living Tribunal?"
After they wrapped up the serious business and chatted for a while, Thor suddenly asked Odin a crucial question.
This question had been bothering Thor for a long time, but he only now had the opportunity to ask it.
"Living Tribunal?"
Odin tilted his head and thought carefully, but found that this was a completely unfamiliar term to him.
Odin could confirm that he had never heard the word before.
"Then what about the One Above All?"
Seeing Odin fall into thought, Thor continued to press the question.
If he hadn't even heard of the Living Tribunal, then the One Above All was even less likely.
Odin shook his head.
He immediately guessed something, and confidently asked, "Did that 'mysterious thing' tell you all this?"
"Yes, Father. According to the description of that 'mysterious thing', this is an existence that surpasses Eternity."
Thor simply explained it to Odin.
Odin couldn't help but be a little surprised.
As a generation of god-kings, he naturally knew what level of god Eternity was.
An existence above Eternity was simply unimaginable.
All along, Odin had thought he was the being at the top of the universe.
At this moment, for a fleeting instant, Odin felt like he was just...average.
It seemed he hadn't truly grasped the true nature of this universe.
"I could look through some Asgardian archives, but I doubt there'd be much to find."
Having put aside his musings, Odin casually said to Thor.
The hammer-wielding god nodded, not saying much, and continued to press, "So, Father, do you know where the Gate of Eternity is?"
"The Gate of Eternity?"
"It's said that the first person to reach the Gate of Eternity can make a wish to Eternity."
"Whatever it is, it will come true. It's a long-standing legend."
Odin sighed.
"No, Father, it's not a legend."
Thor corrected Odin, his tone decisive.
Seeing Thor's serious expression, Odin immediately understood.
That "mysterious thing" that could predict the future must have also revealed clues about the Gate of Eternity.
So that was it. The Gate of Eternity was real.
The legend of making a wish to Eternity was also real!
Unfortunately, Odin didn't know anything about the Gate of Eternity.
"Thor, you need to figure this out yourself."
Odin spoke frankly, simply patting Thor on the shoulder.
"Father, I will."
Thor understood.
"Alright Thor, don't stay by this old man's side all the time. Go enjoy the victory with your soldiers."
"Take off that heavy armor, the banquet is about to be ready."
The father and son chatted for a while, then Odin greeted Thor and left.
Thor returned to his room and made some simple preparations.
He had just taken a bath and changed into casual clothes.
Just as Thor was about to join the festivities, his gaze fell upon the Mysterious Diary on the table.
Thor paused, habitually walking over to the diary and opening it.
He wanted to see if the diary had been updated.
He found that new content had indeed appeared.
Thor, therefore, didn't rush to the celebration. Instead, he sat down and began to read the diary's contents.
A smile crept onto his face.
It seemed that the diary's owner wasn't all-knowing!
Malekith and his lot had been wiped out months ago!
That war over the Aether did happen, it just didn't happen in Asgard, but in the Dark World.
Now, it was all over.
Even the Cursed Warrior they'd captured had long since died in Asgard's prison.
The Cursed Warriors, modified by Malekith, could indeed gain explosively freakish strength, but the price was burning their own life force!
Every Cursed Warrior wouldn't live long.
So, that was right.
The Dark Elves were extinct, truly extinct.
As for luck?
That's right, his luck was indeed very good.
He'd actually obtained such a magical thing as the Mysterious Diary, which allowed him to know his tragic fate in advance.
Thus, he could plan ahead and make changes.
Now, hadn't he already avoided his mother's tragic fate? Plus, the rebellions in the Nine Realms had been completely quelled, and Thor's mood couldn't be better.
Huh! But suddenly. The smile on Thor's face froze, and a look of shock flashed across it.
His gaze fell firmly on the Mysterious Diary, finding it hard to believe this latest batch of spoilers.
Infinity Stones filling a drawer?
Like trash? It had to be said that this was indeed a bit of a shock.
You know, because of the Infinity Stones, he, Thor, and the other Avengers fought countless brutal and bloody wars against Thanos!
Even Asgard had half its population slaughtered by Thanos!
And yet…
The Infinity Stones, which they had fought tooth and nail for, were… trash?
According to the diary, this wasn't an exaggeration.
It was… an objective description.
The Infinity Stones had lost all their abilities!
They had become ordinary stones!
Why?
Why would the Infinity Stones in the TVA lose their abilities?
That's an Infinity Stone!
Thor had already asked his father, Odin, about them, and knew exactly what level of existence the Infinity Stones were.
He truly couldn't imagine how something of that caliber could lose its abilities.
So, what exactly was going on?
Had the TVA used some kind of method to suppress the Infinity Stones' power, or was it something else?
Thor naturally couldn't imagine the truth of it all.
But as the Mysterious Diary said, Thor's state of mind was truly messed up.
This wave of spoilers from the diary was clearly designed to mess with people!
"Drawers full of Infinity Stones?"
After a brief moment of shock, Tony's mind quickly surfaced several key questions.
First, why are there so many Infinity Stones inside the TVA?
After all, the Mysterious Diary revealed so much information, but it never mentioned that the TVA also planned to collect the Infinity Stones.
Furthermore.
Although Tony didn't know how many Infinity Stones there were in total, since a single gauntlet could hold them, that meant there weren't that many.
In any case, it was impossible to fill a drawer.
In other words, the Infinity Stones in the TVA definitely weren't a single set, but many sets!
Did the TVA think that collecting one set of Infinity Stones wasn't enough?
Did they want to collect many, many sets?
Considering the TVA's constant "resetting" of branched timelines.
Tony felt that, rather than actively collecting them, those stones most likely came from those "reset" actions.
After all, the Infinity Stones were just trash within the TVA. Why would the TVA collect trash?
Secondly, how did the Infinity Stones within the TVA become trash?
This was truly astonishing, shocking even Tony, just as it had shocked Thor.
The playboy simply couldn't imagine that something on the level of the Infinity Stones would "fail"!
It could only be said that the TVA truly lived up to its reputation, a truly suffocating behemoth.
No wonder even a god like Loki was toyed with by the TVA.
Of course.
Even with his high intelligence, the playboy couldn't possibly unravel a clear train of thought about what specifically was going on.
That was a level completely beyond Tony's reach.
In this matter, all Tony could do was be shocked, just like the God of Thunder.
[There's no need to mention the purple-skinned Thanos; that guy was a super-tyrant who shook the entire universe!]
[In the end, he suffered complete annihilation, his body and soul destroyed.]
[The Avengers also suffered heavy losses, with even Iron Man, Black Widow, and Vision sacrificing themselves.]
[It's all so ironic.]
[However, the even greater irony is that Kang, the big boss behind the TVA, was very likely created by the Avengers themselves.]
[After all, Kang's rise to power was simple: it was all thanks to the time machine!]
[But that time machine wasn't built by Kang himself; he discovered it!]
[The origin of Kang's time machine in the main universe is unknown, but in the 199999 universe, it seems there's only the time machine created by the Avengers.]
Just thinking, there's a possibility. Remember, the Avengers' time machine is actually a Quantum Time Machine.
And in the Quantum Realm, Janet van Dyne, who is proficient in quantum physics, helped Kang repair his time ship!
What does this mean? Kang's time machine is very likely also a Quantum Time Machine!
It's also easier to understand why the TVA allowed the Avengers to travel through time, isn't it?
Looks like I've stumbled upon something big.
What the hell? Kang's birth, is it actually the Avengers' fault?
That Kang the Conqueror, who created the TVA and reigns above time and the multiverse, was made by the Avengers? Oh, wow!
No way!
This joke is a bit much!
Tony was immediately shocked by this "explosive" spoiler, and he couldn't help but click his tongue in his mind.
Then, considering that the Infinity Stones, which everyone had risked their lives to obtain, were like trash in the TVA created by Kang...
The playboy felt as if he had swallowed a fly, it was so uncomfortable.
So, after all that, were they all just clowns being played by the gods of fate? What a ridiculous and fucked-up life! The only consolation was that this conclusion was not definitive.
It was just the speculation of the diary's owner, nothing more.
Of course, even so, Tony didn't dare to take it lightly.
After all, the diary's owner had much, much more information than they did.
Since the other party made such a deduction, it certainly wasn't groundless.
There must be some reason for it!
Even if this inference is wrong, one thing is undeniable:
The birth of Kang the Conqueror is not unrelated to the Avengers.
Thinking of this, Tony's expression became solemn, and he refocused his gaze on the diary.
He wanted to see what the connection was!
"A time machine?"
Tony raised an eyebrow slightly.
It has to be said, this answer was completely unexpected for the playboy.
After all, the diary had already revealed that Kang the Conqueror was a super god who transcended time and space.
Even the timeline could be managed and manipulated by him!
Yet, such an existence relied on a time machine?
The TVA guarded the sacred timeline, traveling through various time branches for reset operations, also relying on time machines?
Rather than some other, more advanced power that Tony couldn't yet imagine?
Surprised, Tony's opinion of Kang the Conqueror's status and image immediately dropped.
At the same time, another question arose for Tony.
Kang the Conqueror's time machine was actually something he'd found.
He hadn't created it himself!
Well then.
Kang the Conqueror's image took another hit.
Tony's doubts, however, increased.
The time machine Kang the Conqueror found... he didn't even know who it belonged to?
If that was the case...
Although this couldn't be used to deduce that Kang's time machine came from the Avengers, it was enough to give Tony a huge warning.
This was undoubtedly a painful lesson!
The invention of time machines could indeed lead to extremely serious consequences.
Leaving aside Kang the Conqueror for the moment, the final battle, that purple potato who came from the past, wasn't that a living example?
As for Kang the Conqueror?
No one could be sure!
