Asgard.
King's Hall.
Wearing armor, Odin and Thor, father and son, stood on the "balcony" at the highest point, overlooking all of Asgard.
Thor bathed in the gentle breeze, gazing at the realm he ruled.
For the first time in his life, he had a new understanding of the word "Asgard."
Thinking about his former self, he only enjoyed the feeling of being admired by all, enjoying worship and applause.
It was too superficial.
But now?
After going through so much, Thor's state of mind had completely changed.
Sometimes, Thor really felt grateful for his father's exile of him back then.
It was that exile that made him who he was.
"Has the rebellion in Vanaheim ended?"
Odin's voice echoed, the voice of the Allfather, tinged with a hint of gentleness.
And that was simply impossible before.
Not only had Thor changed during this time, but so had Odin.
"Yes, Father."
"Vanaheim has restored peace, and so have Jotunheim and Midgard."
"It's all over, Father."
"The rebellion in the Nine Realms is completely finished."
Thor nodded, giving a very affirmative answer.
He also sincerely sighed, "If you had personally led the troops, Father, the war would have ended even sooner."
"You must think of me as a piece of bread, right?" Odin chuckled, "Always spreading some sweet words."
Thor also laughed.
The father and son had a conversation at the highest point of Asgard, and the atmosphere was excellent.
"By the way, Father, have you heard of the Living Tribunal?"
After they finished discussing the important matters and chatted for a while, Thor suddenly asked Odin a crucial question.
This question had been on Thor's mind for a long time, but he only had the opportunity to ask it now.
"Living Tribunal?"
Odin tilted his head and thought carefully, but found that this was a completely unfamiliar term to him.
Odin could confirm that he had never heard the word before.
"What about the One Above All?"
Seeing Odin fall into thought, Thor continued to press him.
If he hadn't even heard of the Living Tribunal, then the One Above All was even less likely.
Odin shook his head.
He immediately guessed something and confidently asked, "Did that 'Mysterious Thing' tell you all this?"
"Yes, Father. According to the 'Mysterious Thing''s description, this being is above Eternity."
Thor explained it simply to Odin.
Odin couldn't help but be surprised.
As a god of his generation, he naturally knew what level of god Eternity was.
A being above Eternity was simply unimaginable.
Odin had always thought he was at the top of the universe.
But at this moment, for a brief instant, Odin felt like he wasn't all that.
It seemed he didn't truly understand the true face of this universe.
"I can go check some Asgardian records, but I don't think I'll find much of use."
After putting away his thoughts, Odin casually said to Thor.
Thor nodded and didn't say much, continuing to press, "So, Father, do you know where the Gate of Eternity is?"
"The Gate of Eternity?"
"It is said that the first person to reach the Gate of Eternity can make a wish to Eternity."
"Whatever it is, it will come true. This is a long-standing legend."
Odin sighed.
"No, Father, this isn't a legend."
Thor corrected Odin with a resolute tone.
Seeing how serious Thor was, Odin immediately understood.
That "Mysterious Thing" that could foresee the future must have also revealed clues about the Gate of Eternity.
So yes, it seemed the Gate of Eternity was real.
The legend of wishing upon Eternity was also true!
It was a pity that, even for Odin, he knew absolutely nothing about the Gate of Eternity.
"Thor, you need to figure this out yourself."
Odin just spoke the truth, patting Thor on the shoulder.
"Father, I will."
Thor knew what to expect.
"Alright, Thor, don't stay by this old man's side all the time. Go enjoy the victory with your soldiers."
"Take off that heavy armor; the banquet is about to begin."
The father and son talked for a while, and Odin greeted Thor and left.
Thor returned to his room and made some simple adjustments.
He had just taken a shower and changed into casual clothes.
Just as Thor was about to join the festivities, his gaze fell upon the Mysterious Thing on the table.
Thor paused, habitually walking over to the diary and opening it.
He wanted to see if the diary had been updated.
He found that new content had indeed appeared.
Thor wasn't in a rush to attend the celebration anymore. Instead, he sat down and began to read the contents of the diary.
A smile couldn't help but spread across his face.
It seemed that the diary's owner wasn't all-knowing and all-powerful!
Malekith and his lot had been wiped out months ago!
That war to seize the Aether didn't erupt, not in Asgard at least. It happened in the Dark World.
Now, it was all over.
Even the Kurse they had captured had long since perished within Asgard's prison.
The Kurse, transformed by Malekith, indeed gained freakishly explosive power, but the cost was burning away their life!
No Kurse lived long.
So, that was right.
The Dark Elves were extinct, truly extinct.
As for luck?
Yep, his luck was indeed pretty good.
He'd actually obtained a magical thing like the diary, which allowed him to know his tragic fate in advance.
Thus, he could plan ahead and make changes.
Now, hadn't he already avoided his mother's tragic fate? And with the rebellion in the Nine Realms completely quelled, Thor's mood couldn't be better.
Huh! But suddenly. The smile on Thor's face froze, and a look of shock suddenly appeared.
His gaze was fixed on the diary, unable to believe the latest round of spoilers.
Infinity Stones filling a drawer?
Like trash? It had to be said that this was indeed a bit of a heart-stopper.
You know, because of the Infinity Stones, he, Thor, and the Avengers had fought many brutal and bloody wars with Thanos!
Even Asgard had been decimated by Thanos, half its population slaughtered!
And yet…
The Infinity Stones, which they had fought tooth and nail for, were… trash inside the TVA?
Even judging by the tone of the diary, "trash" wasn't an exaggeration.
It was… an objective description.
The Infinity Stones had lost all their power!
They had become ordinary stones!
Why was this?
Why would the Infinity Stones lose their abilities within the TVA?
That's an Infinity Stone!
Thor had already asked his father, Odin, about them and knew what level of existence the Infinity Stones were.
He truly couldn't imagine that something of this level would lose its ability.
So what exactly was going on?
Had the TVA used some kind of method to suppress the power of the Infinity Stones, or was it something else?
Thor naturally couldn't imagine the truth of it all.
But as the diary said, Thor's mental state was really messed up.
This wave of spoilers from the diary was specifically designed to be provocative!
"Infinity Stones filling a drawer?"
After a moment of surprise, Tony had a few key questions pop into his head.
First, why are there so many Infinity Stones in the TVA?
After all, the diary had revealed so much information, but never mentioned that the TVA also planned to collect the Infinity Stones.
Furthermore.
Although Tony didn't know how many Infinity Stones there were in total, since one gauntlet could hold them, it meant there weren't that many.
In any case, it was impossible to fill a drawer with them.
In other words, the Infinity Stones in the TVA definitely weren't just one set, but many sets!
Did the TVA think one set of Infinity Stones wasn't enough?
Did they want to collect many, many sets?
Considering the TVA's constant "resetting" of branched timelines.
Tony thought that, rather than actively collecting them, those stones were more likely to come from those "reset" actions.
After all, the Infinity Stones were just trash within the TVA. Why would the TVA collect trash?
Second, how did the Infinity Stones within the TVA become trash?
This point was truly astonishing, shocking even Thor, and heavily shocking Tony as well.
The playboy really couldn't imagine that even something of the Infinity Stones' level could "fail"!
One could only say that the TVA was indeed worthy of its name, a truly suffocating behemoth.
No wonder even a god like Loki was toyed with by the TVA.
Of course,
how exactly it all worked, even with the high intelligence of the playboy, it was impossible to figure out a clear train of thought.
That was completely beyond Tony's level of comprehension.
In this matter, what Tony could do was actually the same as Thor: just be shocked.
[Purple Potato is a given, that guy was a super overlord who shook the entire universe!]
[In the end, he suffered a complete defeat, with his body and soul destroyed.]
[The Avengers also suffered heavy losses, with even Iron Man, Black Widow, and Vision sacrificing themselves.]
[It's really too ironic.]
[However, what's even more ironic is that Kang, the big boss behind the TVA, was very likely created by the Avengers themselves.]
[After all, Kang's rise to power was simple, it was because of the time machine!]
[But that time machine wasn't made by Kang himself, but rather discovered by him!]
[Where the time machine came from in the main universe is unknown, but in the 199999 universe, it seems there was only the time machine made by the Avengers.]
Think about it, it's not impossible. The Avengers' time machine is actually a Quantum Time Machine.
And in the Quantum Realm, Janet Van Dyne, who is proficient in quantum physics, helped Kang repair his time ship!
What does this mean? Kang's time machine is very likely also a Quantum Time Machine!
Why the TVA allowed the Avengers to travel through time becomes easier to understand, doesn't it?
It seems I've discovered something amazing.
What the hell? Kang's birth was actually the Avengers' fault?
That Kang the Conqueror, who created the TVA and stood above time and the multiverse, was created by the Avengers? Oh, come on!
You've got to be kidding me!
This joke is a bit much!
Tony was immediately shocked by this "explosive" spoiler, and he couldn't help but click his tongue in his mind.
Then, combining the Infinity Stones that everyone had fought so hard for, almost giving their all, which seemed like trash inside the TVA created by Kang...
The playboy felt as if he had swallowed a fly, it was so uncomfortable.
So, after all that, were they all just clowns being played by the god of fate?
What a ridiculous and fucked-up life!
The only consolation was that this conclusion wasn't a definitive one.
It was just the diary owner's inference, nothing more.
Of course, even so, Tony didn't dare to take it lightly.
After all, the diary owner had far more information than everyone else.
Since the other party made such an inference, it definitely wasn't groundless.
There must be a reason for it!
Even if this deduction is wrong, one thing is undeniable:
The birth of Kang the Conqueror wouldn't be unrelated to the Avengers.
Thinking of this, Tony's expression became serious, and he refocused his attention on the diary.
He wanted to see what that connection was!
"A time machine?"
Tony raised an eyebrow slightly.
He had to admit, this answer was completely unexpected for the playboy.
After all, the diary had already revealed that Kang the Conqueror was a super god who transcended time and space.
Even timelines could be managed and toyed with by him!
Yet, a being like that relied on a time machine?
The TVA guarded the sacred timeline, traveling through various time branches to reset things, also relying on time machines?
Not some other, more advanced power that Tony couldn't currently imagine?
In addition to the surprise, Kang the Conqueror's status and prestige in Tony's eyes subconsciously dropped a notch.
At the same time, another question arose for Tony.
Kang the Conqueror's time machine was actually something he had picked up.
He didn't create it himself!
Well then.
Kang the Conqueror's prestige dropped again.
Tony's doubts increased.
The time machine Kang the Conqueror picked up, did he not even know who the owner of the diary was? If that was the case.
Although this couldn't be used to determine that Kang's time machine came from the Avengers, it was enough to give Tony a huge warning.
This was undoubtedly a painful lesson!
The invention of time machines could indeed bring about extremely serious consequences.
Leaving aside Kang the Conqueror for the moment, in the Endgame, wasn't that Purple Potato from the past a living example?
As for Kang the Conqueror?
No one could be certain!
