: The snap was made by Iron Man!

Chapter 71: The snap was made by Iron Man! (Seeking first subscription)

"Sir, as always, you've caused a sensation."

Back at the luxury villa.

Jarvis, the attentive butler, immediately offered flattering words.

Tony Stark was extremely satisfied with the photos, and he grinned from ear to ear.

"As expected, wasn't it?"

Tony Stark shrugged dismissively.

"Ever since you announced you were Iron Man..."

"It's the Destroyer!"

"That's right, the Destroyer. I mean, ever since you announced you were the Iron Man everyone's talking about, Stark Industries' stock has been soaring. You saved the company, sir!"

"Just like always! Those guys even tried to kick me out before!"

The playboy couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

Then he suddenly remembered something, and his face immediately lit up with anticipation.

He eagerly asked, "Has the diary been updated?"

Tony Stark couldn't wait to see Zhou Cheng get his comeuppance!

"It was already updated at the press conference, sir."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner!"

Tony Stark complained to Jarvis and immediately took out his diary.

A quick glance revealed that the diary had indeed been updated.

What the hell? Can anyone tell me what this is?

[Shouldn't it be "I am Iron Man"? How did it become "I am the Destroyer"?]

What the hell is the Destroyer?!

[It's confirmed, this universe can't be the 199999th universe, right?]

So, which universe is this exactly?

[Shit-Big isn't Iron Man, he's Destroyer! Unbelievable!]

Even through the diary, one couldn't see Zhou Cheng's specific expression; only some corresponding words were visible.

Through the various descriptions between the lines, Tony Stark could clearly feel how bewildered and lost Zhou Cheng was on the other end.

Haha!

You've been driven mad by my great Tony!

The playboy was incredibly pleased with himself; he hadn't felt so good in months.

The owner of that diary seemed to know everything every day, pointing out the flaws and commenting on everything in a condescending tone.

To judge Tony Stark's life at will, and to "predict" Tony's future at will.

While spoilers are indeed important information, to be honest, they can be quite unpleasant.

This latest development has truly allowed the Playboy to vent his pent-up anger.

"I really want to see what Zhou Cheng's expression is like in person."

"I think it will be very exciting."

Tony Stark couldn't help but start fantasizing.

Okay, there are so many parallel universes in Marvel, it's impossible for me to know them all, right?

Even if there are universes where Big Poop isn't Iron Man, it doesn't seem like such a strange thing.

[As far as I remember, there was a universe where Stark was rescued by a leopard in Afghanistan and wasn't kidnapped by the Ten Commandments, right?]

In that universe, although Big Grimm eventually created the Iron Man armor, he didn't become Iron Man.

Tony Stark's smile slowly faded, and his expression turned serious again.

It seems that Zhou Cheng, the owner of that diary, knows a lot about other universes!

Besides its own universe, there are many other universes!

Judging from the various clues in the diary...

Although Playboy doesn't know which universe Zhou Cheng comes from, it's clearly not the 199999 universe that's been mentioned many times.

Because Zhou Cheng initially believed that this universe was the 199999 universe.

So what about now?

Zhou Cheng learned about another universe where Stark wasn't Iron Man.

And it is quite obvious.

That universe is an independent universe, separate from the 199999 universe and the universe from which Zhou Cheng originated!

Looking at the tone of the diary, it seems that Zhou Cheng is very knowledgeable about many of Marvel's parallel universes, in addition to these two universes!

So~

Regardless of how Zhou Cheng did it, he is most likely someone who can observe and understand the multiverse!

That's damn good.

Playboy was a little annoyed; wasn't the difference a bit too big?

Even a genius like him, to this day, cannot even prove the existence of the multiverse!

Not to mention someone like Zhou Cheng, who casually talks about how this universe is or how that universe is.

To be fair, without Iron Man's Shit-Doo, it feels like it's completely lost its soul.

While "Destroyer" does sound more imposing than "Iron Man," it doesn't suit Shit's character at all.

Imagine if, during the final battle, before snapping his fingers, Big Stone said, "I am the Destroyer"—how jarring that would be!

[The iconic scene has been completely ruined, hasn't it?]

The final battle?

Tony Stark's attention was immediately drawn to the word.

Tony Stark naturally couldn't deduce anything from this word that suddenly appeared without any context or background.

Or rather, the only thing that can be analyzed is the phrase "the final battle" itself.

"The 'Endgame' battle? So, this is the final battle?"

"It seems that in the future, I will be involved in a war with a certain person or a certain force, a war that will last for a long time."

"And this battle will be the last!"

As Tony Stark finished his analysis, his expression became somewhat solemn.

Since this is the final battle, it means that the war has already reached its final conclusion.

Either his enemies failed, or he, Tony, failed.

Whichever side loses, it will be a complete and utter defeat, with no chance of a comeback.

But the diary doesn't reveal any clues about who won or lost in the end.

Tony Stark, however, could never have guessed it.

"First the Battle of New York, and now this is the final battle?"

"It seems the future is truly going to be very turbulent!"

Black Widow couldn't help but sigh.

The diary has clearly stated many times that the world will enter the era of superheroes shortly after Tony Stark announces that he will become Iron Man.

The diary doesn't describe much about that superhero era.

But it is undoubtedly a very dangerous era, with all kinds of superpowered individuals running rampant.

The diary also used the phrase "a chaotic mess" to describe it.

The Battle of New York, which was previously spoiled in the diary, is a "super war" involving various superheroes, and even gods.

What about the final battle?

It is undoubtedly a "super war" similar to the Battle of New York, because the superhero Tony Stark has joined the battle!

In a normal war, Tony Stark would not be able to get involved.

In addition, there is another crucial clue: the "snap".

This word has been mentioned in the diary before.

Although it was only mentioned briefly, there is no doubt that the "snap" has the magical power to bring the dead back to life!

First came superheroes like Tony Stark, then came the magical power of the "snap."

There is almost no doubt about the nature of the final battle.

There's just one thing.

So, the snap that could bring the dead back to life was really just a regular snap of the fingers?

How could such incredible power be generated by simply touching and moving two fingers together?

Black Widow was quite amazed by this.

Besides, Black Widow never expected that the "snap" would be made by Tony Stark.

So~

Was it because the Endgame was too brutal and too many people died that Tony Stark used the "snap" to resurrect everyone?

What the hell is this war?!

[Not only that, Marvel already has other Destroyers!]

[Asgard's ultimate weapon goes without saying; it's arguably one of the most terrifying killing machines in the universe.]

[He will also descend upon the land alongside Thor, and casually destroy a small town.]

Nick Fury decided to use the Tesseract to research superweapons precisely because he witnessed the terrifying power of this Destroyer.

Asgard?

Isn't that the legendary realm of gods, the home of Thor?

So Asgard also has a Destroyer?

Or is it Asgard's ultimate weapon, the most terrifying killing machine in the universe?

666!

The playboy couldn't help but show off again.

Look at that, that's the vision of Tony, that's the level of Tony!

His steel armor shares the same name as the most powerful killing weapon in the Divine Realm!

And without a doubt, not only his name, but also Tony Stark's Iron Man suit must be just as powerful as the killing machine from Asgard.

This is Tony!

Tony Stark was incredibly proud of himself.

And didn't the diary also say that the Destroyer would descend upon Earth with Thor in the future?

Playboy really wants his Destroyer to clash with the Asgardian Destroyer and see which Destroyer is more powerful!

It's so interesting to think about!

As for why the Destroyer came to Earth with Thor, and why he destroyed a small town.

Because of a lack of necessary information, Tony Stark was unable to analyze any specific details about these matters.

There's just one thing: that future superhero era looks really dangerous and chaotic.

The playboy sighed slightly, but didn't think much of it.

His attention was quickly drawn to a single word.

Cosmic Cube.

Tony Stark had never heard of this word before and had no idea what it was.

But it is clearly not an ordinary thing.

Otherwise, why would Nick Fury use this thing to research superweapons?

"Jarvis, search for the Cosmic Cube."

After a brief moment of thought, Tony Stark immediately gave Jarvis this order.

"Sir, this is something extraordinary."

Even AI like Jarvis exclaimed in amazement.

"You know that the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D. was the Strategic Scientific Corps."

"The Strategic Science Corps was originally established to counter Hydra's high-tech armed forces."

"Hydra's high-tech armed force is a super armed force created based on the research of the Cosmic Cube."

"I haven't been able to find much information about the Cosmic Cube, but according to the available information, the Cosmic Cube is a product of extraterrestrial civilization and contains a magical power."

Is it a product of extraterrestrial civilization?

Tony Stark frowned slightly. This thing was definitely not a simple one.

However, things from extraterrestrial civilizations appeared on Earth as early as World War II, so the records in the diary are correct.

Not only in the future, but also in the past, extraterrestrial races have visited Earth!

So this is the true face of the world?

So this is what the world is really like!

"The Cosmic Cube!"

Black Widow's brow furrowed slightly.

Compared to Tony Stark, as a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., she naturally knew more about this mysterious object.

She not only knew that the Cosmic Cube was an alien object, but also knew that it possessed incredible power.

Hydra's Red Skull wanted to use this thing to achieve his goal of world domination, but Captain America stopped him in time.

Later, the Tesseract sank into the sea along with Captain America, and Howard even personally led a search and rescue team to retrieve it.

However, instead of finding Captain America, they found the Tesseract.

Since then, the Tesseract has remained in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Black Widow was not surprised by the diary's mention of her director researching secret weapons using the Cosmic Cube.

That's definitely in line with our bureau chief's style.

Black Widow also agreed with this move.

In the future superhero era, there are so many extraordinary threats, humanity must have some weapons to fight back, right?

The only question is, has the super weapon been successfully developed?

The diary doesn't say anything about this!

[And then there's Drax, the humble old man from the Guardians of the Galaxy, who considers himself second to last in intelligence on the team, with no one daring to claim the highest! Isn't he also a Destroyer?]

[Not only the Destroyer, but the Guardians of the Galaxy have also teamed up with the Avengers.]

On Titan, Iron Man met the Destroyer and even fought alongside him.

[Now that the two destroyers have met, that's going to be interesting.]

[Given their personalities, I doubt they'll actually start fighting, right?]

"Guardians of the Galaxy?"

"Guardians of the Milky Way?"

"Could they actually be able to protect the galaxy?"

Tony Stark couldn't help but shake his head, a hint of sarcasm even appearing on his face.

Guardians of the Galaxy, they really dare to come up with all sorts of nicknames, aren't they afraid of biting off more than they can chew?

Playboy really wants to see for himself.

Just how powerful and awesome are these guys that they dare to use a title like "Guardians of the Galaxy"?

You have to understand, that's the Milky Way!

It's not a particular planet.

There are countless planets in the entire Milky Way galaxy. Can they all protect it?

That's a joke.

"Sir, it seems we've found someone even more humble and low-key than you."

Jarvis also offered his timely critique.

"That's right."

"I haven't done enough in terms of being low-key and humble."

Tony Stark wholeheartedly agreed with this.
