Of course.
Even though Zhou Cheng placed Professor X on the same level as Captain Marvel, Black Widow didn't have a clear idea of just how strong Professor X was.
However, Black Widow was much more familiar with Captain Marvel, who had been mentioned multiple times in the diary.
Black Widow knew that this was a deity who maintained peace in the universe! Since she maintained universal peace, it undoubtedly meant that this person's strength was at the top of the universe.
But now it seemed that even someone like that was completely no match for Scarlet Witch.
And judging from all the content in the diary... Black Widow felt that, considering both the heroes and villains, Scarlet Witch should be the strongest among them.
Of course, Dormammu, who could devour countless planets, was also incredibly powerful.
However, the diary didn't mention that Dormammu could transcend the limitations of a single universe.
So, Black Widow pondered for a moment and decided that if she had to rank the most powerful, it would still be Scarlet Witch.
"Even Danvers isn't a match for Scarlet Witch?"
"Who exactly is this Scarlet Witch!"
Nick Fury felt an increasing sense of urgency.
All along, Fury had considered Captain Marvel to be a top-secret trump card, or rather, his last resort.
It was because he had this trump card that he still had some confidence, even knowing that the age of superheroes was coming and that there would be many extraordinary wars in the future.
Because when things got desperate, Nick Fury could still call Captain Marvel back to turn the tables, right?
But now, Nick Fury had just realized a heavy truth: not every situation could be handled by Danvers!
Not everyone was someone Danvers could defeat!
The only consolation was that the incredibly powerful Scarlet Witch wasn't a villain from the start; she was corrupted.
So, the crucial question remained: no matter what, they had to prevent her from being corrupted!
But now, Nick Fury didn't even know who she was.
And regarding Scarlet Witch, beyond the nickname and how powerful she was, the diary didn't mention much.
If he wanted to know her identity, he'd probably have to rely on the diary to give him more spoilers.
Of course...
What Nick Fury would never know was that the Captain Marvel killed by Scarlet Witch wasn't actually Carol Danvers.
It was Carol Danvers' good friend from back then!
In this universe, the Captain Marvel of the Illuminati, who was killed by Scarlet Witch, had long since become an old woman.
[This one's third, I think it should be Captain Marvel beating the Purple Potato with all the Infinity Stones in the Endgame.]
[That was the Purple Potato who had gathered all the Infinity Stones, almost possessing the most powerful force in the universe, and almost no one could rival him.]
[The entire Avengers, whether it was Doctor Strange or Scarlet Witch, or those others, no one could be his opponent.]
[Except for Captain Marvel, who descended from the sky at a crucial moment!]
[I guess the Purple Potato himself didn't expect that even after gathering the Infinity Stones, he could still be beaten up?]
[Even before the two sides officially fought, Captain Marvel alone wiped out the Purple Potato's entire fleet!]
"Finally, it's Danvers' turn!"
Nick Fury sighed inwardly.
His slightly ruffled heart, due to Danvers' defeat at the hands of Scarlet Witch, found some solace.
Being ranked third by that Satan, second only to Scarlet Witch's solo battle against the Illuminati.
What kind of power Captain Marvel possessed in her battle against the full-Infinity-Stone-wielding Purple Potato, Nick Fury could still imagine.
What level the full-Infinity-Stone Purple Potato was at, Nick Fury had long since analyzed and judged.
The diary also clearly stated this time that he almost possessed the most powerful force in the universe!
The fact that Danvers could beat up such a Purple Potato was a testament to her undeniable strength.
As for Danvers wiping out the Purple Potato's entire fleet single-handedly…
Because he already knew Danvers had scared off Ronan's fleet all by herself, Nick Fury found it rather natural.
That's just standard procedure for Danvers, isn't it?
[Judging from their fight, Purple Potato was clearly no match for Captain Marvel.]
[If Purple Potato hadn't, at a crucial moment, plucked the Power Stone and used it to knock Captain Marvel away, the outcome of the final battle would have been uncertain.]
[But one thing is for sure: Captain Marvel is truly tough!]
[If she's the toughest superhero in the entire universe, I don't think anyone would disagree, right?]
[It's just a pity that she still couldn't defeat Purple Potato in the end.]
[Otherwise, Stark wouldn't have had to die.]
Power Stone!
The word immediately caught Tony Stark's attention.
Judging from the context, the Power Stone was undoubtedly one of the Infinity Stones.
Although the diary didn't provide much information about the Power Stone, the name itself suggested it could grant immense power!
Considering the Power Stone was an "Infinity Stone," the prefix "infinity" spoke volumes about its potential.
This was also evident in the diary.
Didn't the Purple Potato use the Power Stone to send Captain Marvel flying?
Wait a minute!
Tony Stark's expression shifted to a mix of confusion and bewilderment.
Why would Zhou Cheng say that Captain Marvel was the toughest person in the universe?
Shouldn't that be the Destroyer?
That's one tough head.
Is Captain Marvel's head even tougher?
Could it be that Purple Potato used the Power Stone and hit Captain Marvel in the head, sending her flying? Well then.
If that's the case, the playboy admits defeat.
In terms of head-hardness, I, Tony, hereby declare you the strongest.
After a moment of silent grumbling, Tony Stark quickly put those thoughts aside and continued analyzing the Power Stone.
Based on the "Power Stone," it could be inferred that each of the other Infinity Stones also contained the power of a certain attribute. For example, the Speed Stone, the Mind Stone, and the Lightning Stone.
Or perhaps other similar stones?
Although it's impossible to deduce the existence of other Infinity Stones based solely on the Power Stone…
…there's no doubt that the diary holders have deepened their understanding of the Infinity Stones.
At the very least, the Infinity Stones are no longer just a vague, unknown concept.
They can now vaguely grasp the outline of the Infinity Stones.
"Sir, it seems your death in the other world is related to this Purple Potato," Jarvis' voice chimed in, the helpful AI making an obvious deduction.
Mentioning his own death, Tony Stark's expression turned serious.
Even he couldn't see through life and death.
However, according to the current information, wasn't that other version of himself killed by snapping his fingers?
The diary said that if Captain Marvel defeated the Purple Potato, then he wouldn't have to die.
In other words…
If Captain Marvel defeated the Purple Potato, then he, Tony, wouldn't have to snap his fingers! Why was that?
What connection existed between him snapping his fingers and the Purple Potato being defeated? Could it be that because Captain Marvel defeated the Purple Potato, not so many people would die in the final battle, and he wouldn't have to snap his fingers to save them? But on second thought, something didn't seem quite right.
After all, the diary clearly mentioned a fleet, and it was the fleet of a cosmic bigshot like the Purple Potato! Even a star fleet was mobilized, showing the scale of the final battle.
The casualties could be imagined with just his toes.
That battle between Captain Marvel and the Purple Potato couldn't possibly have such a huge impact on the number of casualties, right?
Could it be that after Captain Marvel failed, the Purple Potato slaughtered countless people, tens or even hundreds of times more? Causing the number of casualties to skyrocket to an unacceptable level?
In the absence of supporting information, Tony Stark couldn't come up with a more reasonable explanation.
[Captain Marvel's fight against the fully-powered Purple Potato ranked third, so Thor's near-fatal blow with the axe naturally ranked fourth.]
[It has to be said that Thor is really fierce when he's at his best. That was a fully-powered Purple Potato, and he almost couldn't withstand a single axe strike.]
[Although Captain Marvel suppressed the Purple Potato right from the start, she didn't manage to injure him.]
[But Thor? He almost killed the Purple Potato!]
[If he hadn't aimed for the wrong spot, the Avengers series could have ended right there.]
[What a pity! This battle could be said to be the most regrettable one.]
Thor?
A single axe almost killed the Purple Potato with all the Infinity Stones?
Truly worthy of being a god of Asgard!
Tony Stark couldn't help but nod in approval.
Even with his arrogance and his disdain for others, he couldn't help but show a hint of admiration.
Judging from the diary's records, this person's performance was much better than Captain Marvel's.
After all, Captain Marvel's fight against the Purple Potato not only failed to injure him, but she was also defeated.
But what about Thor?
He almost took down the Purple Potato!
So why would Zhou Cheng rank this battle below Captain Marvel's?
The playboy carefully considered it for a while, but couldn't figure out Zhou Cheng's ranking logic.
Of course, he couldn't analyze it. Zhou Cheng simply felt that Thor had the advantage of the Stormbreaker.
A weapon like Stormbreaker provides a terrifying boost to a person's strength.
So Zhou Cheng instinctively ranked Thor's performance below Captain Marvel's, who fought with her bare hands.
Of course.
These were ultimately unimportant details, and Tony Stark didn't dwell on them.
He shifted his focus, continuing to analyze the information in the diary.
"Thor missed his target?"
The playboy raised an eyebrow slightly. Could it be that Thor hadn't aimed for Purple Potato's weak spot?
But if that was the case, why did he almost kill Purple Potato?
Almost dying meant Purple Potato must have been critically injured, that a vital area had been fatally struck.
Why did he say he didn't hit the right spot?
Could it be that Thor, although he hit a vital point, didn't hit the most vital point? That's why he only almost killed the Purple Potato, instead of finishing him off.
But what difference does it make?
If one axe swing didn't kill him, just swing again. The Purple Potato was already heavily wounded.
It seems something must have happened on the battlefield back then.
Something that allowed Thor to only swing that one axe, without a chance to swing a second! Otherwise, Zhou Cheng wouldn't be so regretful.
"Axe?"
Black Widow's eyebrows slightly rose. She noticed another discrepancy.
According to Asgardian legends, Thor's artifact was a hammer.
The diary also confirmed this.
Even Thor's hammer would land in New Mexico in the near future.
However, Thor used an axe, not the hammer, to defeat the Purple Potato.
So, it seems Thor has more than one godly weapon, doesn't he? Black Widow made this obvious guess.
What's next should be the Avengers' fight against the Purple Potato on Titan, right?
How many Infinity Stones did the Purple Potato have at that time? I can't quite remember. Maybe three or four?
Although not at his peak strength, he was already a top-tier powerhouse in the entire universe.
Stark, a mere mortal, was already doing quite well to hold his own against the Purple Potato with his Iron Man armor.
He even drew blood from the Purple Potato.
[Although it's just a scratch, I still think fifth place is well-deserved.]
"Fifth?"
"Are you kidding me!"
"I'm only in fifth place!"
Tony Stark immediately couldn't help but protest.
Who was he? He was the incredibly talented Stark, one of the best on Earth.
Yet, he couldn't even make the top three, only fifth?
The playboy couldn't accept this.
"Sir, you were facing only the 'partial-Infinity Stones Purple Potato,' not the 'full-Infinity Stones Purple Potato.'"
"I think that's the most crucial factor limiting your ranking."
Jarvis, who knew his boss's personality well, immediately offered Tony Stark a way out.
The playboy's expression then improved, and he nodded deeply in agreement.
"That's right, if I encountered the Purple Potato with all the Infinity Stones, I wouldn't be defeated like Captain Marvel, nor would I make a mistake like Thor. I would kill him directly."
"The reason I haven't is because I haven't encountered him!"
Tony Stark said matter-of-factly.
