Wait a minute!The Quantum Realm!
Soon, Tony Stark's eyes suddenly sharpened—he finally realized.
The diary had mentioned before that Ant-Man and his family were researching the Quantum Realm, and had even entered it to take down Kang inside.
At the time, Tony had been curious about how Ant-Man could even access, let alone enter, the Quantum Realm.
After all, the Quantum Realm seemed like another dimension, invisible and intangible!
But now, it seemed so simple—just shrink yourself.Continuously shrink yourself down to molecular, atomic, even subatomic levels!Theoretically, once you reached that scale, wouldn't you essentially reach the quantum level?
Wouldn't that naturally place you inside the Quantum Realm?
Damn!
Even for someone like Tony Stark, he couldn't help but marvel.
Could Ant-Man really shrink himself that far?
If he truly could, the danger was far greater than Tony had imagined.
As the diary had said, this was truly touching the microscopic scale—a completely different nature entirely.
You didn't even need to shrink to such an extreme level.
Even just Ant-Man's normal scale could be enough to create havoc, making it impossible to guard against him.
Like Deadpool in Universe 12101, who shrunk a bomb, placed it in coffee, and made the Avengers drink it.
Ugh!Tony felt a chill down his spine.
He didn't know why Deadpool had targeted the Avengers in that universe, but the Avengers there had truly met a gruesome fate.
Weren't they all blown into meat paste?The diary had even mentioned that Ant-Man once wiped out all of the original Avengers. Tony had been shocked at the time.
But now, knowing Ant-Man's true abilities, Tony immediately felt that it wasn't an exaggeration at all.
With the ability to shrink, there were countless ways to eliminate people silently.
Even for someone like Big Tony, it would be impossible to defend against.
After all, once Ant-Man shrinks to a certain scale, even Iron Man's armor becomes useless—a complete void.
In an instant, Tony realized he had severely underestimated Ant-Man before.
But even so, Tony never imagined that Pym Particles could affect a divine artifact like Mjolnir!
That was a godly artifact!
Infused with divine power—or even the magic of a god—and Pym Particles could bypass it?That was insanely overpowered!
If Pym Particles could affect godly artifacts, then what about gods themselves?
Though the diary didn't give a definitive answer, Tony thought it was entirely possible.
"Pym Particles! Yes, Pym Particles! How did I not think of that earlier? Foolish me!"
"This could be the solution to the Pantheon hidden inside Earth!"
"Haha, probably no one knows that there's actually a Pantheon hidden within Earth besides me."
"All of Earth, just a womb to cultivate the Pantheon—what a grand scheme."
"Marvel people really have it rough."
"Even if they survive countless major events and avoid Thanos' snap, Earth will still be destroyed."
"Because the Pantheon must eventually hatch!"
"Across all of Earth, besides the Eternals, there's no one who could stop this, right?"
"What!"
"So that embryonic Pantheon has been hidden inside Earth all along?"
This bombshell truly caught Tony off guard.
The diary had previously mentioned that an embryonic Pantheon was hidden on Earth.
Moreover, the embryonic Pantheon would be born after Odin's death.
In other words:
The Earth will once again see the rise of a Pantheon!
For Tony and Nick Fury, this information was extremely critical, but utterly beyond their control.
They knew nothing about the Pantheon.
What the embryonic Pantheon looked like, how it was being nurtured on Earth, whether it was oviparous or viviparous—no information at all.
Trying to investigate under such circumstances was utterly hopeless.
Now, the diary finally provided some answers.
But Tony could not have imagined that the Pantheon's cultivation was so shocking and cruel—it was almost impossible to accept.
The Pantheon actually treated the entire Earth as a womb?Was it saying that, during its growth, the embryonic Pantheon needed to continuously absorb the Earth's "nutrients"?
Though Tony didn't know the specifics, one thing was certain:
Everything follows the law of energy conservation.
From the embryonic Pantheon to the young Pantheon, the enormous energy required must come from Earth.
By any measure, this was a disaster!
Chances were the entire Earth would be destroyed.
No—it would be destroyed.
The diary had given a clear answer: the Pantheon would be born by "breaking out of the shell."
What a vivid metaphor.
Tony could already picture it: inside the Earth, the fully developed Pantheon opens its eyes and lashes out, shattering the entire planet!
And then, amidst the ruins, the Pantheon strides out, descending into the world!
Just imagining it suffocated Tony, as if a huge weight pressed on his chest.
Is this Earth's future?So cruel!
"The Pantheon!"
Tony's eyes widened as he whispered the name.
He had always subconsciously thought that Thanos was the Avengers' biggest threat, Earth's greatest enemy.
But now it seemed the Pantheon was the true threat!
After all, Thanos only wiped out half of Earth's population, but the Pantheon could destroy the entire planet.
This must be stopped!
In an instant, Tony made a silent decision.
But it's easier said than done.The Pantheon were super deities beyond even Odin.
"The Eternals?"
Seeing this answer in the diary, Tony raised an eyebrow.
The Eternals weren't created by the Pantheon? And they were this powerful?
Tony had asked Thor about the Eternals before.
According to Thor, they were strong, yes, but roughly on his level.Could they really handle the Pantheon?
Still, since the diary explicitly said so, the Eternals must be able to do it.
From now on, Tony had another crucial task: find the Eternals!
Besides the Eternals, Zhou Cheng mentioned another method: Pym Particles.
Could they shrink the embryonic Pantheon using Pym Particles?Operationally, it sounded convincing.
But the key question remained: could Pym Particles work on the Pantheon?Previously, they worked on artifacts, but could they affect gods—or beings above gods?
"Well, I suppose we can give Pym Particles a try!"
"At the exact moment Tiam is about to break out, shrink it with Pym Particles—Earth can be saved!"
"No need to kill Tiam, Earth survives—a perfect solution."
"I doubt Arishem would punish Earth for that."
"The only question: will Pym Particles work on the Pantheon?"
"I think it's very likely."
"In Universe TRN666, Electro shrunk a Planet Devourer using Pym Particles!"
"Though Galactus often went hungry and became a combat unit, he was still one of the five prime creator gods!"
"If Pym Particles could shrink Galactus, why not the Pantheon?"
"Tiam!"
Tony's eyes sharpened. He etched the name into his mind.
This was the Pantheon hidden inside Earth, destined to shatter it.
From now on, this name would be Tony's top priority.
Another name appeared: Arishem.
From the context, this was also a Pantheon.
The diary suggested that Arishem was Tiam's caretaker or overseer.
If Tiam were harmed while protecting Earth, Arishem would punish Earth.
On second thought, this made sense.
All species value new life and succession, and the Pantheon would be no exception.
During Tiam's gestation, monitoring and protecting it before birth was reasonable.
So Arishem was likely watching Earth as well. Tony frowned.
This wasn't good news.
Hence, Tony hoped Zhou Cheng's Pym Particle method would work.Shrinking Tiam harmlessly matched Tony's expectations.
Yet the crucial question remained: could Pym Particles affect the Pantheon?
Tony continued scanning the diary.
"Planet Devourer!"
This name shook Tony to his core.
By definition, someone who devours planets?No, not just one—this person likely devours many.
Like a godslayer.
Damn!
Tony was shocked. Someone who devoured multiple planets—what a level of power!
These were actual planets, not candy beans.Was this Planet Devourer on par with Dormammu, the dimension demon?
Soon Tony realized he had been wrong. Very wrong.
The Planet Devourer was also one of the five prime creator gods!
The same tier as the Eternals mentioned in the diary.
With the diary in hand for so long, Tony had encountered countless powerful beings—some manipulating time and space, some slaughtering multiverses, some observing them.
Each one more terrifying than the last.
Even Tony couldn't say which was the strongest.
But creators—creator gods—were certainly at the top.
Though the diary didn't detail their powers, the title alone was enough.
Tony never imagined the Planet Devourer to be so formidable.
He also hadn't imagined Pym Particles to be so powerful—even creator gods could be affected!
So these were creator gods?
Much weaker than he had imagined.
Previously, creator gods had a certain awe in Tony's mind, now somewhat shattered.
Of course, that wasn't the point.
The point: if Pym Particles could affect creator gods, surely they could also work on the Pantheon!
Zhou Cheng's method seemed viable.
"Then the Eternals won't split due to the 'Manifestation of the Gods,' preventing civil war."
"Even Icarus, loyal to Arishem, would not oppose this plan."
"If Tiam is safely born, the Manifestation of the Gods remains unaffected."
"Icarus avoids the tragic fate of flying into the sun to commit suicide."
"Arishem really failed—so many Eternals on Earth, yet only Icarus and the water elf remained loyal, the rest betrayed him."
"Manifestation of the Gods?"
Tony furrowed his brow.
This term appeared suddenly, leaving him puzzled.
But reading further: Tiam's birth went smoothly, and the Manifestation of the Gods was unaffected. So it referred to Tiam's birth?And the Eternals almost went to war because of it?What connection did the Eternals have with Tiam's birth?
Soon Tony understood.
The Eternals were not only created by the Pantheon, but served it.
What about the Deviants, Kree, and Skrulls also created alongside the Pantheon?
