Alright, the Skrulls could probably be temporarily ruled out.
Regardless of whether the Skrulls previously acted on behalf of the Eternals, their current situation was undeniably awkward.
Their home had been destroyed, leaving only tens of thousands alive. Like rats, they secretly hid on Earth, cowering in the radioactive zones.
After discovering this shocking truth, Tony had already developed drones to monitor them around the clock, non-stop.
Nick Fury had also deployed satellites to keep an eye on these aliens' every move.
In short, apart from the Skrulls currently operating openly and helping Fury, the tens of thousands of Skrulls were effectively interstellar refugees.
They were barely surviving, doing nothing else.
Acting on behalf of the Eternals? That was highly unlikely.
As for the Kree?
From what Thor had shared, they were still a strong interstellar race, thriving in a golden age of civilization.
But their current motives were harder to determine.
Regardless, the Kree were from another planet.
Apart from the war with the Skrulls, Tony's diary hadn't mentioned any further invasions of Earth. Not even once.
So compared to the Kree, Tony's focus was squarely on the Eternals.
"Ikaris… Water Spirit."
These two names immediately drew Tony's full attention.
This was the first time the diary revealed the identities of two Eternals.
Ikaris was just a name—Tony couldn't yet analyze further.
But from his unbelievably dramatic method of suicide, one could infer a lot.
Flying into the Sun!
At the very least, it revealed two things:
First, Ikaris could fly, and could easily travel from Earth straight to the Sun.
Achieving such a feat meant his flight speed alone was extraordinary, but more importantly, his physical strength had to be astonishing.
After all, such extreme speed required a body capable of withstanding it.
Second, his physical durability was extreme.
Flying into the Sun to commit suicide meant he could survive inside the Sun for at least a short time. Otherwise, how could he fly in?
Even without other considerations, just the ability to fly and survive briefly in the Sun was terrifying.
As for the Water Spirit?
There was no doubt this was a superpowered individual capable of controlling water.
How strong? Tony couldn't determine yet, but likely very formidable—possibly stronger than most other Eternals.
The diary mentioned that the Eternals had erupted into civil war because of Tiam's birth.
The diary only briefly alluded to the civil war, but Tony could still deduce a lot from the existing information.
If Pym Particles could perfectly save Earth, Ikaris wouldn't have opposed it.
What did this suggest?
In the future—or in another universe—other Eternals also attempted to save Earth from Tiam.
Earlier, it was mentioned that the Eternals could prevent Tiam from "breaking out."
However, their attempts weren't as flawless as using Pym Particles—they risked harming Tiam's life.
Thus, Ikaris, loyal to Arishem, opposed their plan.
This sparked a battle.
So this so-called civil war was likely Ikaris and Water Spirit against all other Eternals!
Ikaris and Water Spirit's immense power became abundantly clear.
Tony also got a clearer sense of the Eternals' loyalties.
Previously, the Eternals helped Asgard fight the Frost Giants. Later, aside from Ikaris and Water Spirit, the other Eternals tried to prevent Tiam's "manifestation."
Tony concluded that, at least, the Eternals (excluding Ikaris and Water Spirit) could be considered allies.
After this round of spoilers, it was time to consider seeking out the Eternals.
[Well, not all of them—Purple Sweet Potato never betrayed Arishem.]
[Who would've thought Purple Sweet Potato is actually an Eternal?]
[But his origins seem very different from those of Ikaris and his kind.]
[After all, Purple Sweet Potato spent his life collecting Infinity Stones, exterminating the Deviants, and ensuring Tiam's birth—but that seems unrelated to him.]
[In fact, he even greatly interfered with Tiam's creation!]
[Strangely, Arishem never intervened, letting it happen from start to finish.]
What!Purple Sweet Potato is an Eternal!
Tony's face couldn't hide his astonishment.
This really exceeded the playboy genius's expectations.
All along, Tony had only considered Purple Sweet Potato as a powerful alien—nothing more.
Never did he imagine he had such a lineage.
Especially since Tony had always thought highly of the Eternals, subconsciously viewing them as potential allies.
But the diary delivered a sudden twist, stunning Tony.
"Exterminate the Deviants?"
"Ensure Tiam's creation?"
Tony furrowed his brow slightly.
Undoubtedly, this was the mission of Ikaris' Eternal faction, aligning with Tony's previous speculation.
The continuation of the species was clearly important even to the Celestials, who closely monitored Tiam's gestation.
They even created the Eternals specifically for this purpose.
So that's the origin of the Eternals?
The diary was accurate—they were indeed tools.
But what about the Deviants?
Why did the Celestials create a race specifically to destroy them?
Tony clearly remembered—the Deviants were also created by the Celestials.
Could it be because the Deviants interfered with Tiam's birth?
Tony's mind was in a whirlwind.
Undoubtedly, the Deviants, Celestials, and Eternals were intricately connected—a deep, unfathomable web.
The specifics, however, were beyond Tony's immediate comprehension.
Tony's attention was then caught by another unexpected revelation:
Purple Sweet Potato actually interfered with Tiam's creation?Who exactly was he?Undoubtedly, a major villain!
A supervillain who had even wiped out half the universe's life!
And Tiam's creation?Representing Earth's destruction!
So, according to the diary, Purple Sweet Potato—this supervillain—actually disrupted Tiam from destroying Earth?
Analyzing purely by results, Purple Sweet Potato essentially did something good?
Tony truly had not expected this.
[In fact, if Purple Sweet Potato were willing, not only could he interfere with Tiam's creation, he could probably solve the whole problem.]
[After all, with all the Infinity Stones, he would hold the universe's most powerful force, capable of almost anything!]
[Unfortunately, he wouldn't do it—but the Avengers could try.]
[Compared to Pym Particles, Infinity Stones were clearly more reliable.]
[Even the Planet Devourer in TRN666, after being shrunk, eventually returned to full size!]
[The Celestials were unpredictable.]
[Some of them were even stronger than the Planet Devourer.]
Tiam's exact power? No one knew.
Tony: "…"
The playboy genius felt speechless.
He had been confident in Pym Particles, having been reassured by the diary's note that even the Planet Devourer was affected.
He thought he had the perfect counter to the Celestials.
And yet?
The diary had only told half the story!He felt the gods themselves were… surprisingly weak?
Being shrunk by a device created by an Earth scientist?Turns out, only temporarily!
Of course, considering the Planet Devourer's status, even temporary shrinkage was remarkable.
But Tony had never imagined some Celestials' strength could reach such suffocating heights—comparable to a Creator God.
Even with the diary spoilers, Tony had known the Celestials were overwhelmingly powerful—but not this overwhelmingly!
Thus, his confidence in Pym Particles dropped further.
As for the Infinity Stones…
Tony's lips curved into a wry smile.
That method sounded far more reliable, but also far more difficult!
Infinity Stones—these were treasures beyond measure, incredibly rare across the universe.
The diary made it clear: gathering all the stones grants the wielder nearly omnipotent power.
The stakes were astronomical.
Even imagining it, Tony knew collecting such items was beyond Earth's current capability.
Consider Odin.
Why did a king of gods ultimately give up collecting the Infinity Stones?
The diary didn't explain the reasons.
But if even a god-king gave up, that spoke volumes.
Soon, Tony refocused.
Yes, collecting Infinity Stones was supremely difficult.
But Tony Stark excelled at solving difficult problems.
As long as he tried, there was nothing he couldn't accomplish—even gathering the Infinity Stones.
The diary had already spoiled it: the future Avengers did begin collecting the Stones.
Purple Sweet Potato collected the Infinity Stones to snap his fingers, wiping out half the universe.
But the diary never revealed the Avengers' purpose for collecting the Stones.
Everyone assumed it was to stop Purple Sweet Potato.
Undoubtedly, the Avengers' original action failed. After all, the "All-Stone Purple Sweet Potato" appeared and snapped his fingers during the Infinity War.
Erasing half the universe!
This likely explained why the Avengers traveled back to collect the Stones—to gain enough power to counter him and trigger the Endgame battle.
That was Tony's previous speculation.
Now, Tony considered whether the Avengers had another goal beyond stopping Purple Sweet Potato—perhaps dealing with the Celestials too?
[After all, post-Endgame, the Avengers successfully collected the Infinity Stones from the past.]
[And they successfully reversed the half-life wiped out by Purple Sweet Potato.]
[Whether you snap once or twice, it's still snapping.]
[Hulk just had bad luck—losing an arm temporarily.]
[But it seemed not too serious; his body was ridiculously durable.]
[Whether natural healing or medical intervention, his Infinity-Stone-damaged arm fully recovered.]
[No choice—Hulk snapping at most lost an arm; others lost their lives. Just look at how Tony died.]
The Avengers' collection mission succeeded!
Tony wasn't surprised—diary clues had all pointed to this.
The only regret: Black Widow died permanently during this action, beyond the power of a snap.
As for other Avengers?
Did any others die?
The diary didn't say, and Tony didn't know.
One thing was clear:
The person who snapped and restored the half-lives wiped out by Purple Sweet Potato was Hulk.
Restoring the universe's lost lives? Tony wasn't shocked—he had expected it.
Such a cosmic tragedy—if real—the Avengers wouldn't ignore it.
But Hulk?
During Endgame, it was Tony who snapped, sacrificing himself to save the world!
