A person is writing a diary in an American comic book, and Iron Man collapses at the beginning.

Chapter 181 What the hell? I was tricked to death by Doctor Strange with just one finger?

So all along.

Tony Stark subconsciously believed that the person who snapped his fingers and saved half of all life in the universe was him, Tony!

But who would have thought it was completely different!

So does that mean the Avengers snapped their fingers at least twice?

Hulk once, and Tony Stark once?

Tony Stark died from the snap, but Hulk only lost an arm and recovered after a while.

It has to be said that the difference is simply too great.

But if that's the case, why didn't they let Hulk snap his fingers in Endgame, and instead let me do it?

Tony used to think he died a tragic and heroic death, but now, looking at it, why does Tony feel so frustrated and fucked up?

Based on all the intelligence, I clearly don't need to die!

Furthermore, since Hulk snapped his fingers and saved the beings in the universe that had been wiped out by the purple potato spirit, why would he snap his fingers a second time?

What exactly is the purpose?

It seems that the war between the Avengers and the Purple Potato Spirit in the future will be much more complex and grand than I imagined.

Honestly, I feel sorry for Stark; his death was such a waste, it could have been avoided.

After stealing the gem from the purple sweet potato spirit, why did he snap his fingers himself? There were clearly many other options.

[While the Purple Potato Demon is very strong, without the Infinity Stones, he's no match for Captain Marvel. Why not just let Captain Marvel deal with him?]

[And Scarlet Witch too! She almost killed the Purple Sweet Potato Spirit! She forced the Purple Sweet Potato Spirit to deploy his entire fleet.]

There was absolutely no need to snap your fingers.

Even if he were to snap his fingers, there was no need for him to do it himself, right? Captain Marvel was there, and Hulk still had one arm.

It seems Stark was completely misled by Doctor Strange's one finger.

However, on the other hand, this isn't entirely Doctor Strange's fault.

They just held up one finger; they didn't tell you to snap your fingers.

[When someone points to the sky, it could mean they want you to fly up; after all, Thanos can't fly.]

Ah this!

Speechless!

Speechless!

Speechless.

In addition, there was extreme testicular pain.

This is Tony's most direct and immediate feeling after watching the latest spoiler.

It seems I wasn't just overthinking things.

Even Zhou Cheng, the owner of the diary, believed that his future self—no, his self in another world—died in an extremely messed-up way.

This feeling was especially strong after watching the latest spoiler.

So, in the end, I was actually tricked to death by Doctor Strange's finger?

Doctor Strange held up one finger and snapped it, completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Did the other version of myself in that other world get water in my brain?

Or perhaps it's because the series of battles has clouded their judgment.

Is there any connection between raising a finger and snapping your fingers?

Why did Doctor Strange's raising of his finger cause his other self to interpret it as snapping his fingers?

Could there be something else that happened that I don't know about?

Otherwise, there's really no way to explain why the other self is so intellectually deficient.

And you've already seen Doctor Strange extend a finger, so the distance between the two shouldn't be far. Why are you being so cryptic?

Doctor Strange, why don't you just tell Tony what to do? Why stick out your finger?

Is it really more convenient and efficient to just stick out a finger than to open your mouth directly?

Besides that, why would the version of myself in the final battle care so much about other people's opinions?

Why would they value Doctor Strange's opinion so much?

He, Tony, has always been the one to decide what to do with the gems and how to handle them after obtaining them.

That other version of myself really doesn't seem like my own personality.

Tony didn't know what to say.

Of course, complaining is one thing, and feeling frustrated is another.

But through this short spoiler, Tony still obtained some extremely important information.

Besides complaining about his messed-up death, the diary also listed some of his other options besides not snapping his fingers.

For example, having Captain Marvel fight the purple sweet potato spirit, or having Scarlet Witch fight the purple sweet potato spirit, etc.

Judging from his tone, it seems that his purpose in snapping his fingers was actually to deal with the purple sweet potato spirit?

This is... all there is?

It's not worth it!

Tony increasingly felt that his death was truly worthless and utterly undignified.

After a brief grumble, Tony temporarily put aside these chaotic thoughts.

He then turned his attention back to his diary.

Looking forward to the next spoiler for the diary.

However, as always, the diary has stopped being updated here without any warning.

Snapped!

Tony shook his head and slammed the diary shut.

I subconsciously picked up my coffee and took a sip, only to realize that I had been so engrossed in my diary that the coffee had gone cold.

The playboy casually poured out the coffee.

He returned to the hall and reunited with the other Avengers.

Everything seemed normal from beginning to end, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Natasha stole the Rubik's Cube, what are we still doing here?"

"Shouldn't we go and find the Rubik's Cube? Sitting here won't make it come back to us!"

The voice of the Red Guard came first.

But then they saw the Avengers engaged in a heated discussion.

"I understand how you feel, Eric, but the commander has already arranged for an investigation."

"There's really nothing we can do until we find Natasha or Loki."

Hawkeye Patton also looked helpless.

"That's right!"

Tony suddenly interjected, "But that doesn't apply to me, folks. I'll miss this failure of ours; it was an unforgettable experience."

After saying that, Tony waved to everyone and walked away without looking back.

Now that we know Nick Fury has found Satan as a powerful outside helper, and considering the situation where everyone could be a Loki mole,

There's absolutely no point in staying in the base any longer.

Of course.

Nevertheless, Tony did not place all his hopes on Satan.

After returning to his luxurious villa, he still gave Jarvis orders to continue keeping an eye on Loki and Black Widow.

However, I didn't have high hopes for it.

Loki was able to remain completely hidden from S.H.I.E.L.D. and Jarvis's intense manhunt without revealing any clues, which likely involved some supernatural means.

After all, that one is a god!

On the other side, Nick Fury's current situation is not much different from Tony Stark's.

The first thing the other party did after returning to their office in the Tri-Wing Building was to make several important phone calls.

What?

Without a doubt, it was to prepare an advance payment for Zhou Cheng.

The commission is 1 billion yuan, and even the advance payment is an astronomical sum.

Making braised eggs also takes a little time.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

After dealing with the advance payment, Nick Fury pondered for a moment and then called over his most loyal subordinate, Coulson.

Where is Dr. Banner now?

"I'll just ask you directly," Lu Dan asked.

"A small, unnamed village in India—in fact, a very poor village where people can't even afford medical care."

"Dr. Banner has been providing voluntary medical assistance there for some time now."

Monitoring Dr. Banner was one of Coulson's tasks.

When asked by his superior, he answered almost without thinking.

It must be said that their business capabilities are indeed very reassuring.

"I think Dr. Banner's stress-relief lifestyle should come to an end."

Lu Dan immediately gave Coulson the order, "Bring him back."

"Is it for the Tesseract, sir?"

Coulson naturally made this guess.

"Dr. Banner is an expert in gamma rays, even more so than Stark. He can help us track the Rubik's Cube."

Nick Fury nodded, not denying it; that was indeed his goal.

Although Lu Dan has already gone to see Satan, Satan's strength does indeed give people enough confidence.

But Nick Fury has always been like this; he never places 100% trust in anyone.

Even towards Satan.

Therefore, Nick Fury did not place all his hopes on Zhou Cheng, but prepared various backup plans.

If things don't go well with Zhou Cheng, Nick Fury will have to find a Rubik's Cube himself.

Dr. Banner can indeed play a very important role.

"Understood, sir!"

Coulson responded and hurriedly turned and walked out.

Lu Dan continued with a series of other related arrangements before finally rubbing his temples and taking a short breath.

He took out his diary.

I casually flipped to the last page, and my spirits immediately lifted; the diary had been updated again.

Lu Dan didn't waste any time and started seriously reading the various spoilers in the diary.

However, regarding this wave of spoilers, Lu Dan found that there was indeed not much he could do.

Whether it's the future Avengers, or the Celestials, Thiam, the Eternals, and other things mentioned later, these are not things that can be easily found out.

The only thing Lu Dan could truly accomplish was to have his men keep a close eye on Hank Pym.

As for the Pym particles invented by Hank Pym?

To be honest, Lu Dan was quite tempted. He never expected that Pym Particles would be so powerful that they could even affect the Creator God.

However, taking away Hank Pym's technology is no easy task.

As far as Nick Fury knows, when Hank Pym was still with the agency, the higher-ups at S.H.I.E.L.D. had their eyes on his technology, but they were unsuccessful.

It also led to Hank Pym's defection from S.H.I.E.L.D.

The other party is indeed old now, but Lu Dan doesn't underestimate him in the slightest because of that; he's no ordinary person.

If Nick Fury also intends to acquire the Pym Particles, then he must plan carefully and thoroughly.

Of course.

Nick Fury has no plans to do that right now.

On one hand, while Lu Dan is definitely not a good person, he is not entirely without principles in the cinematic universe.

As for the other side, it's undoubtedly Loki.

With such a huge mess in front of Nick Fury, Lu Dan has no time to think about doing anything else at this crucial moment.

What Lu Dan has been most concerned about these past few days is whether the prepayment has reached Satan yet, and when Satan will start to act.

"Sir, the transfer is complete!"

It wasn't until three days later that Nick Fury finally received the news.

The braised egg, who had been on edge, finally relaxed a little.

At the same time, I was secretly praying that Satan would be as reliable as ever this time.

Otherwise, things might really get complicated.

"The prepayment has arrived? Lu Dan is as efficient as ever."

Zhou Cheng immediately received the corresponding notification.

After letting out a soft sigh, he stood up without any hesitation.

Since the braised eggs are doing so well, I can't let them down, can I?

Isn't it just Loki?

It's done!

Zhou Cheng quickly packed his equipment and rushed out the door.

After arriving at a deserted "transit point", Zhou Cheng changed into his uniform and put on a mask.

Then he pulled out Captain Jack Sparrow's compass.

Whoosh!

Soon, Zhou Cheng's wings flapped, and he was lifted into the air.

It soared over the skies above New York City, covering a distance of fifteen kilometers.

Finally, it stopped outside a very ordinary, unremarkable building.

"This is it!"

Zhou Cheng stopped, glancing at the compass needle in his hand.

He raised his head, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Swish!

With his X-ray vision activated, Zhou Cheng could see everything inside the entire building in front of him.

Nothing was missed.

What?

Where did Zhou Cheng get his X-ray vision ability?

Without a doubt, the reward was the diary.

It has to be said that although the ability to see through things isn't a high-end reward, it's actually quite useful in some situations, saving Zhou Cheng a lot of trouble.

For example, right now.

Zhou Cheng could see Loki clearly from inside the seventh floor, even through two walls.

But Loki was sitting on the sofa in a very arrogant pose.

On the coffee table in front of him was an exquisitely crafted suitcase.

Inside the suitcase was a cube that shimmered with blue light.

Cosmic Cube!

That was precisely Zhou Cheng's objective in this operation.

In addition, Loki was standing next to a woman with blonde curly hair and a figure so hot it was almost unfair.

They were even wearing the kind of uniform that only S.H.I.E.L.D. agents would wear.

This surprised Zhou Cheng greatly.

Isn't that Black Widow?

What the hell?

Loki was clearly controlling Hawkeye Barton with his scepter, so how did it suddenly turn into Black Widow?
