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

Tony lay there with his chin in his hand, lost in thought for a long time, still unable to understand how Thor had helped create Vision.

Even the playboy found it increasingly unbelievable the more he thought about it!

That's Thor, the God of Thunder, who only knows how to swing a giant hammer!

Besides.

The diary had already mentioned that Vision's creation was the result of a collaboration between Tony Stark and Ultron.

Furthermore, based on his experience in actually creating Vision, Tony felt that Dr. Banner from that other universe was also very likely to be involved.

After all, organic biology is definitely not Tony's area of ​​expertise.

So, based on various spoilers and experience, Vision may be the result of the combined efforts of Tony Stark, Ultron, Bruce Banner, and Thor!

Goodness, such a big fuss!

The process of creating Vision looks incredibly complicated.

However, what exactly happened is no longer important, since Vision has already been born.

Tony stopped focusing on that and resumed reading his diary.

His expression immediately froze.

Thor actually suspects that the appearance of the Infinity Stones was intentional?

Is someone playing a grand game?

"Could there really be a mastermind behind all of this?"

Playboy really couldn't stay calm.

Thor's argument is remarkably similar to the doubts expressed by Zhou Cheng, the previous owner of the diary.

At that time, Zhou Cheng expressed a certain degree of doubt about the fact that the Soul Gem could guide people, and it was a reasonable doubt.

After all, the director's approach is too obviously contrived and doesn't quite make sense no matter what.

At this moment, coupled with Thor's suspicions, it makes even more clear what's going on.

The "mastermind theory" is definitely not unfounded!

Thinking about this made Tony's heart grow heavier.

Anger, resentment, and a deep sense of helplessness.

Admittedly, given Tony's personality, he would never be willing to become someone else's pawn.

But the possible mastermind behind the scenes is so powerful that even Thanos, the purple potato demon, could not escape being manipulated. How much more so would these Avengers?

Thinking about it carefully, Thor's words weren't entirely unfounded.

[After all, the Infinity Stones have existed for countless years, yet they have suddenly surfaced one after another within just a few years!]

While each Infinity Stone that surfaced on its own might seem fine individually, and each has its own 'story'.

But these "stories" all occurred within a very short period of time. Doesn't that seem rather coincidental?

[Especially the Soul Gem; there's even a guide dedicated to it, as if they're afraid others won't be able to obtain it.]

Simply attributing it to coincidence isn't very convincing.

So here's the question: if Thor's guess is correct, and there really is a mastermind behind all this, who could it be?

This is an interesting topic!

Tony, sitting in front of his diary, began to fall into deep thought.

He had never really looked at the appearance of the Infinity Stones from this perspective before, and the key point is that the playboy had never really thought anything of it before.

Even in Tony's view, the process of the various Infinity Stones surfacing was natural and there was nothing wrong with it.

The reason Loki was attracted to the Tesseract was because S.H.I.E.L.D. conducted unauthorized research on the Tesseract and sent signals into space.

Therefore, the Power Stone came to light, and Loki even brought the scepter, the Mind Stone, with him.

Besides that, there's the Reality Gem.

That was because the nine stars converged, and Jane happened to discover it.

As for the Time Stone, Playboy knew it had always been kept in Kamar-Taj.

But after a period of time, it will be "transferred" to Doctor Strange.

And the Soul Stone?

According to spoilers in the diary, at some point in the future, Thanos, guided by "The Guide," killed his own daughter Gamora to obtain it.

Based on current clues, it seems Star-Lord stole the Power Stone from Ronan.

Looking at the process by which each of these gems appeared, Tony didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But what if we look at the appearance of all these gems from a grander, more comprehensive perspective?

Playboy has already asked Thor about it; the Infinity Stones were created before the Big Bang!

Why have these incidents occurred one after another in the last few years, given that such a long period of time has passed?

Thor was 1,500 years old and had no idea what the Infinity Stones were before he obtained the diary.

In this context, the appearance of the gemstone was indeed somewhat coincidental in terms of timing.

Adding to the suspicions of Thor and Zhou Cheng, the owner of the diary, Tony found it even harder to remain calm.

So, who could it be?

If Zhou Cheng and Thor's suspicions are true, and there really is a mastermind behind all of this, who would it be?

If I had to guess, I think there's a very high probability that it's someone who surpasses others!

With such ability and such refined taste, only a transcendent being could possess it, right?

[After all, the Beyonders in the main universe have done similar things, like instigating battles between superheroes and supervillains, and on a much larger scale.]

In the main universe, the Beyonders created a universe called "Battle Realm," capturing all the superheroes and supervillains to fight there!

[This guy is incredibly ruthless. He can wipe out the gods like blowing dust in the wind, and kill the creator god like crushing ants.]

The entire multiverse is but a drop of water before him; a single thought from him could destroy billions of universes!

"The One Who Surpasses!"

Tony's gaze suddenly sharpened, his attention immediately drawn to the name.

Although this is the first time the name has been mentioned in the diary.

Even without considering anything else, just looking at this name, one can tell that this person is extraordinary.

Those who "transcend"!

Anyone who dares to use "surpass" in their name is no ordinary person.

I just don't know what exactly this transcendent being transcended.

Using something like the Infinity Stones as pawns, it must be something beyond the universe, right?

No, the war between the Avengers and Thanos for the Infinity Stones involved time travel and the multiverse.

Then this transcendent being must at least transcend time and space!

At the very least, it should be on the same level as Observer or TVA, right?

With just a superficial assessment, Tony gave the Beyonder an extremely high evaluation.

But soon, the playboy realized he was wrong.

Although he felt he had taken the surpasser seriously enough, he still found that he had underestimated him.

Killing the Celestials would be as easy as blowing dust.

Killing the God of Death is as easy as crushing an ant?

This is ridiculous!

It was so exaggerated that even Tony wondered if Zhou Cheng, the owner of the diary, was just making things up.

Do you want to know what level the Celestial Group is?

That's a super god capable of creating galaxies and the basic structure of the universe!

What about the creator god?

Not to mention.

The diary is "officially stamped," meaning it's something that surpasses even the Celestials!

Aside from the OAA and the Living Tribunal, the Creator God is the most powerful.

This can be seen from the fact that eternity can easily erase all the gods in the world.

But even such an existence is so vulnerable in the face of those who transcend.

Even a single thought can destroy billions of multiverses?

hiss!

Is there really such a terrifying and outrageous existence in the world?

Even someone as skilled as Tony couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Compared to the Beyonder's terrifying and suffocating power, the fact that he could conjure up a universe and capture superheroes and supervillains to fight was rather unremarkable.

There's one question: why would someone who transcends do this?

He orchestrated a massive war, but what was his true purpose?

Could it be that, like the Grandmaster of Sakaar, he enjoys competition?

The diary mentions that the Transcendent One did indeed have the "refined taste" to do such a thing.

What exactly is this "refined taste"?

The playboy fell into deep thought, but there was no doubt that he could not come to a definite conclusion.

Or rather, the only result was that Tony felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his heart.

Indeed.

The transcendent being described in the diary is a transcendent being from the main universe.

But the main universe is also the Marvel universe!

The many parallel universes in the "Marvel universe" are highly similar universes!

This should have been enough to wake Tony up.

Of course, such things are still very distant, or rather, unattainable, for Thor.

I remember Chris Hemsworth planned to investigate this matter, but it was unlikely he would find anything.

[And it won't be long before Thor's good sister Hela reunites with him, and while she's at it, she'll crush his hammer and beat him to a pulp.]

[I wonder, if he doesn't return to Asgard, will the transformed Thor be able to defeat Hela?]

[It's important to know that Asgard is the source of Hela's power; as long as she's in Asgard, Hela possesses inexhaustible power.]

This cheat is definitely a bit too much.

Even outside of Asgard, Hela's power is actually quite monstrous; she's not someone just anyone can easily crush Thor's hammer!

"Hela!"

Thor's expression began to darken slightly, and his heart sank as well.

For Chris Hemsworth, "Hela" is not a good word.

Because Hela represents the end of her father's life, and the demise of Asgard!

Not only that.

Since learning the "truth" about his sister, Hela, the goddess of death, has become a knot in Thor's heart.

Whether it's spoilers from the diary or information gleaned from Odin.

All aspects indicate that Hela is an invincible and formidable enemy.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Thor had to.

Hela is a powerhouse on a completely different level than myself.

Otherwise, why would he from another universe be willing to pay the price of destroying Asgard?

Weren't we just desperate?

But now, Thor's eyes lit up again.

Is Asgard the source of Hela's power, the goddess of death?

Why this happened is something Thor himself doesn't know.

However, this at least points Thor in a direction for dealing with Hela:

Hela must not be allowed to return to Asgard!

In this way, not only can Asgard be prevented from being massacred by Hela, but Hela's power can also be greatly weakened!

Of course.

Even outside of Asgard, Hela, the goddess of death, is still a terrifying being capable of crushing Thor's hammer with one hand.

It remains a formidable enemy that suffocates Thor.

Thor still needs to carefully plan and prepare to deal with such an enemy.

[This level of strength, compared to Thor's archenemies, seems to be top-tier.]

[He might not be as powerful as a god-slayer, but compared to Thanos, the purple-skinned monster, it's hard to say.]

However, if Hela were to activate her "Asgardian powers" and possess limitless strength, Thanos would very well be no match for her.

So things would get interesting if Hela hadn't been betrayed and killed by her brother, but instead had truly taken control of Asgard.

[At her peak, Hela, along with her resurrected undead army, faces Thanos's fleet now possessing the Power Stone. Who will emerge victorious?]

Asgard under Hela's rule faces Thanos, who possesses a Power Stone.

Tony's interest was immediately piqued.

It must be said that this is indeed a very interesting topic.

Thanos goes without saying; the diary has revealed information about him countless times.

This person is undoubtedly a super strong individual standing at the top of the pyramid.

And what about Hella?

Putting everything else aside, the fact that she crushed Thor's hammer with one hand is enough for Tony to believe that she is no less capable than Thanos.

Based on this, one of them had an endless power cheat, and the other had a power gem, so the bonuses they received were quite similar.

In this situation, who would come out on top?

Tony really couldn't make a judgment in that short time.

As for whether Hela's undead army or Thanos's fleet is stronger or weaker, it's impossible to compare them.

However, there was one thing that Tony deduced quite logically.

Why would Zhou Cheng, the owner of that diary, make an analogy with Thanos, who obtained the Power Stone?

Without a doubt, it must be because Thanos also obtained the Power Stone when he killed half of Asgard's population!

In this way, the order in which Thanos obtained the Infinity Stones finally began to reveal some clues.

Clearly, the first gem the opponent obtained was the Power Gem.

So what is the second gemstone?

Considering Asgard, the Reality Stone was placed in the custody of a collector.

Therefore, the answer is naturally the Tesseract, which is also known as the Space Stone! (End of Chapter)
