Additionally, I have many new works readers may be interested in. Go look, if you wish!
Kang the Conqueror!
A look of gravity instantly crossed Tony Stark's face.
This name, previously mentioned in the journal, was explicitly highlighted as a super boss even more terrifying than Thanos.
What kind of existence is Thanos?
He's the super freak who erased half of the life in the universe!
What kind of villain could be more dreadful than that – one capable of destroying the entire universe like a corrupted Doctor Strange or rampaging through the multiverse like a darkened Scarlet Witch?
Or perhaps like an Infinity Ultron, slaughtering across multiverses?
Tony, having read about various impressive individuals in the journal, could only imagine a few scenarios.
But now it seemed Kang's terror exceeded even Tony's wildest imagination.
The man had actually conquered the multiverse!
Note that the journal uses the word "conquer".
In Tony's view, conquering is much more difficult than slaughtering.
Slaughtering is about suppressing with sheer force; conquering is subjugating through combat.
These are two entirely different levels.
So, this is what "Conqueror" means?
He has conquered not just powerful enemies, but the universe itself!
Suffocating!
Even a character like Tony Stark couldn't help but feel a sense of suffocation when the journal revealed Kang the Conqueror.
But one thing stood out — wasn't Kang said to exist within the Quantum Realm according to prior spoilers in the journal?
Does Kang emerge from the Quantum Realm?
Are the Quantum Realm and our reality connected?
Thinking it over, Iron Man admitted that it wasn't so hard to understand.
After all, thanks to the journal's spoilers, it seemed like Ant-Man and the others had achieved something of this sort.
Otherwise, how would the Quantum Virus and Kang the Conqueror have been exposed?
It's unclear what the relationship is between the Ten Rings and Kang the Conqueror.
According to the journal, the Ten Rings seem to have once belonged to Kang.
Oh, wait, Iron Man still believes that the Ten Rings originate from Nezha's Universal Ring.
However, it's evident that Kang once possessed and utilized them.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be the matter of activating the Ten Rings sending a signal to Kang.
These, of course, are Tony's conjectures, nothing more.
Even Zhou Cheng, the owner of the journal, couldn't confirm these things; the signaling to Kang was just one of their inferences.
As for the specifics, Tony was naturally uncertain.
Additionally, the journal mentioned another key character: Ms. Marvel.
Judging by the alias, unquestionably, she is a young girl with extraordinary powers.
She also possesses a "bracelet" from another dimension tightly linked to the Ten Rings.
Even without more details from the journal, these clues alone suggest that this bracelet is something incredibly powerful and extraordinary.
Now comes the question.
Since Zhou Cheng speculated a close connection between the Ten Rings and Kang, could the bracelet be related as well?
"Although the signaling of the Ten Rings is merely my speculation, the rise of Kang's dynasty is unquestionable," the journal noted.
"After all, TVA's true guardian, He Who Remains, who founded it, will be killed by Sylvie Loki, causing the complete collapse of the Sacred Timeline!"
"Keep in mind the original purpose of He Who Remains creating the TVA was to prevent his evil variants from destroying the timeline."
"With He Who Remains dead, all variations of Kang will become unstoppable."
"Not to mention that after Ant-Man and the others kill a Kang in the Quantum Realm, the Council of Kangs has been alerted and has summoned all the Kangs from the multiverse!"
"The dynasty of Kang is inevitable!"
"What!"
"The Time Variance Authority was founded by Kang the Conqueror!"
Tony Stark's pupils dilated, genuinely shocked by this bombshell.
What is the Time Variance Authority?
It's a terrifying organization that rules over the timeliness of the multiverse!
Tony had always wondered what kind of entity could establish such an institution.
Although he couldn't imagine who it was, it was undoubtedly an extraordinary being.
Tony wouldn't be surprised even if he was told that a primordial god established TVA.
And no wonder.
TVA is indeed too formidable.
But Tony could never have imagined that Kang the Conqueror was the answer!
Kang conquered the multiverse, and now the journal also reveals Kang has conquered time!
In other words, Kang has conquered both time and space, right?
Terrifying indeed.
No wonder Zhou Cheng, the journal's owner, stated he's more terrifying than Thanos.
Based solely on this, Kang indisputably surpasses Thanos in transcendence.
The ability to conquer the multiverse is impressive enough, not to mention the power to control time, which is already unbeatable.
What Tony didn't realize is that Kang's perversity doesn't end there; he is not one person but a multitude.
The multiverse is home to countless Kang the Conquerors!
Even the purpose of He Who Remains founding the TVA was to prevent Kang's variants from disturbing the timeline.
So, this is the truth behind TVA?
This is the reality of the "Guardians of Time"?
The true Guardian of Time, Kang the Conqueror, protects time in order to defend it against threats from his other variants!
So, in the end, TVA is not a villain.
In fact, they have always been protecting the world, protecting the multiverse!
Previously, Iron Man detested TVA and the Sacred Timeline because he loathed having his life controlled by others.
Only now has his perception of TVA started to change.
While he isn't totally on board yet, he has come to see them in a more positive light.
However, this crucial Guardian of Time was killed by Sylvie Loki?
The journal had already spoiled that Loki and Sylvie Loki uncovered the fake Guardians of Time and escaped TVA's control.
Tony was curious about how they accomplished it.
So, in the end, did they find the real Guardian of Time and kill him?
Why would Sylvie Loki do this?
Tony naturally doesn't know the reason, and at this point, it no longer seems important.
The key point is that Lady Loki has messed things up big time!
She completely stirred up the multiverse!
If that bunch of time-controlling Kang variants are unleashed and can do whatever they want in the multiverse, just thinking about it with the thigh is terrifying.
Besides, there's Ant-Man.
As the journal once mentioned, Ant-Man wiped out the original Avengers in one universe, and in the Infinity War, it was Ant-Man who found the way to bring back half of Earth's population.
Although up to now, Tony still doesn't know what kind of capabilities Ant-Man actually has. After all, it's not easy to imagine what powers related to ants would be like.
But without a doubt, he's a remarkable character.
He even entered the Quantum Realm and took down an entity like Kang the Conqueror.
Considering Kang's rank and level of fear, Tony could only say that Ant-Man was also not to be trifled with.
Why he killed Kang the Conqueror, Tony naturally didn't know, but he, just like Lady Loki, brought about very bad consequences.
They alerted the Council of Kangs!
"The Council of Kangs"—judging by the name, it's undoubtedly a committee specifically set up to manage or rule the Kangs.
How many Kang the Conquerors are there in the multiverse?
Of course, with the endless multiverse comes endless Kangs, which isn't really surprising.
But these Kangs in the multiverse have actually united!
That's the most terrifying part.
"Kang Dynasty."
At this moment, Tony seemed to understand the meaning of these four words a bit better.
But by that time, the Avengers had long ceased to exist; I wonder who else could withstand the Kangs?
Could it be the young Avengers in the 616 universe?
Well, that's not impossible.
After all, by that time, the second generation Ant-Man's daughter, the Ant-Girl, had debuted, and the second generation Hawkeye had long been trained by Hawkeye and had even carried out missions together.
Hulk had a son too, isn't that Skaar?
And with the Black Captain America confirmed, isn't it natural that his grandson, the Patriot, would exist?
Looking at it this way, it does seem very likely that something like young Avengers could happen!
"Young Avengers."
Tony couldn't help feeling speechless; which iteration of the Avengers was this?
Putting aside their own Avengers identity, the journal had already mentioned the Prehistoric Avengers, the Multiverse Avengers, and now a Young Avengers.
There were too many Avengers!
But according to the journal, this Young Avengers was the offspring of some of their Avengers!
Well, following in their parents' footsteps isn't anything strange.
I just wonder, which young Avengers are there?
With great interest, Tony continued reading the journal.
"Second generation Ant-Man?"
Before another journal, Nick Fury's mind suddenly stirred, and he quickly realized something.
The Ant-Man mentioned in the journal all this time should actually be this second-generation Ant-Man, right?
No wonder the journal talked about Ant-Man having been a thief and going to prison, which obviously didn't match Hank Pym's identity.
Considering Hank Pym's age, he may not necessarily be able to withstand various challenges.
So Fury had been somewhat puzzled.
Only now has the truth become clear; the Ant-Man mentioned in the journal all this time is definitely the second-generation Ant-Man.
However, who exactly is this second-generation Ant-Man?
Considering Hank Pym's technology isn't easy to replicate, Fury naturally speculated:
The second-generation Ant-Man must be Hank Pym's student.
He not only inherited Hank Pym's Ant-Man suit but also Hank Pym's codename!
So, after all the roundabouts, it still comes back to Hank Pym.
As for the second-generation Ant-Man's daughter, the Ant-Girl?
Find the second-generation Ant-Man first!
Also, there's the second-generation Hawkeye. Fury doesn't have any clues on this end.
But he can ask Barton if he had any thoughts on training a successor.
See if he can get any useful leads.
About Hulk's son, Skaar?
Fury really didn't expect Hulk to have that sort of ability!
You know, Hulk and Bruce Banner actually share the same body. Even if he transforms, his internal DNA shouldn't change, right?
So how come there's a Skaar instead of a little Banner?
Okay, setting aside the DNA issue, what kind of woman could bear the Hulk?
Was the She-Hulk mentioned in the journal before?
Before figuring out She-Hulk's story, now a Skaar pops up.
Initially, Fury thought Hulk was just a lab accident, a creation of gamma rays; who would've thought that in the future, there would be so many.
As for the grandson of the Black Captain America, the Patriot?
They hadn't even found the Black Captain America yet!
Wait a minute!
In the middle of his complaints, Nick Fury suddenly frowned. He thought of something very important.
If the grandson of the Black Captain America is also one of the future Avengers, does that mean he also inherited the Black Captain America's super-soldier physiology?
In other words, can the super-soldier serum be inherited?
Considering that ordinary people like Barton and Black Widow also joined the Avengers, Fury can't be sure if the Patriot is a normal person.
But this thought reminded Fury.
Should he arrange a partner for Rogers?
If Rogers' super-soldier serum can be inherited, that would be great.
Even if it can't be inherited, it could help Rogers care more about this world.
Either way, it's a win-win!
Oh, right, speaking of young superheroes, how could you miss Ms. Marvel?
This little fan of Captain Marvel might have already fought alongside Captain Marvel?
And of course, there's Spider-Man!
He's considered by all as the inheritor of Iron Man and even inherited the drone army left to him by Iron Man.
After that event, which disturbed the multiverse, he must have grown a lot.
Ms. Marvel!
Tony's heart stirred.
The journal mentioned this character once again.
Unfortunately, besides her great admiration for Captain Marvel, not much else was revealed.
However, since she can fight alongside Captain Marvel and the like, her strength must also be quite impressive.
Just not sure if her nickname "Ms. Marvel" was also a bit of a copycat move on her idol, Captain Marvel.
Tony thought it was very possible.
After all, it's normal for kids to imitate their idols.
