Even so, even if he wasn't facing the Purple Potato at his peak.
But the diary also said that he was facing a Purple Potato with multiple stones, right? A top-tier big shot in the universe, wasn't he? According to the diary's "certification," a multi-stone Purple Potato dared to provoke Odin and the Ancient One! In other words, a Purple Potato at that level could be considered a freak on par with Odin and the Ancient One.
And yet, he, "a mere mortal," still managed to draw blood from the Purple Potato in that state? That was already incredibly impressive! After all, he, Tony, wasn't a god like Thor, nor had he gone through a dark transformation like Scarlet Witch. He, Tony, was just an ordinary, down-to-earth Earthling, a regular mortal, nothing more!
However, what did "gua sha" mean? When Tony Stark's gaze fell on that word, his brow furrowed slightly.
Even as knowledgeable and widely read as he was, he wasn't familiar with such an extremely obscure term.
But the playboy had a feeling.
Judging by the context, it didn't seem like a particularly positive term.
"Jarvis, look up what 'guasha' is."
Tony Stark casually asked his attentive AI butler.
"Guasha is a type of traditional Chinese medicine therapy. It involves using specialized tools and techniques, along with a medium, to repeatedly rub and scrape the surface of the body."
Whoosh!
While explaining to Tony Stark, Jarvis also thoughtfully projected a related video in front of the playboy.
Tony Stark: "..."
Guasha?
This is freaking guasha?
Isn't this saying that all of his efforts to attack Purple Potato were just scratching the guy's skin?
Like, he just gave the guy a little tickle?
Tony Stark's face instantly darkened, as if he had been slapped hard.
Don't mess with me like that!
Sure enough, that Zhou Cheng must have a bias against him, right?
Otherwise, why would he constantly make fun of himself? [The sixth one is undoubtedly the great battle between Doctor Strange and Purple Potato, right?]
[Although Doctor Strange couldn't inflict even the slightest damage on Purple Potato, not even a scratch.]
[But to be honest, the battle between the two was still very exciting, at least the visual effects were top-notch.]
[It can be said to be one of the most dazzling and eye-catching battles.]
[Especially since Doctor Strange could hold his own against a multi-gem Purple Potato for so long without even using the Time Stone, which is actually quite remarkable.]
"Doctor Strange again!"
Tony Stark's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, and a smug grin curled his lips.
The one ranked sixth was actually Doctor Strange, who Zhou Cheng had ranked first.
It has to be said, this was something the playboy hadn't anticipated, and it was also something that made him feel quite pleased with himself.
"So this, is actually Doctor Strange's true strength, right?"
Tony Stark made this judgment very matter-of-factly.
Although Zhou Cheng had placed Doctor Strange's battle with Dormammu in the first place, he had also made it very clear that the fight was won through clever tactics and didn't represent Doctor Strange's true strength.
But what about this battle?
Zhou Cheng had called it "very exciting", with "visual effects" turned up to the max, which showed that the two sides should have fought fiercely.
It should have been a real, head-on clash, rather than using tricky methods.
The result, however, was indeed not as good as his, Tony's. He didn't leave a single scratch on that Purple Potato.
Even so, the fact that Doctor Strange could have a fierce battle with the multi-gemmed Purple Potato was already quite impressive.
Tony Stark expressed high praise for this.
"Time Stone!"
Nick Fury, in front of another diary, immediately became highly attentive to this term.
Judging by the name, it was exactly the same as the previously mentioned "Power Stone."
So, the Time Stone was also a type of Infinity Stone?
Although the diary didn't provide much information about this Time Stone.
But since it was the Time Stone, there was no doubt that this gem must possess the power to control time!
And what about Doctor Strange?
He just happened to possess the ability to travel through time!
Connecting all these clues, Nick Fury naturally made a deduction:
Doctor Strange's ability to travel through time was most likely due to the Time Stone!
This… this was an Infinity Stone?
It actually possessed such incredible power!
Through this latest diary entry, which spoiled another Infinity Stone, Nick Fury gained a clearer understanding of the Infinity Stones.
But there was one thing.
Since Doctor Strange possessed the Time Stone, why didn't he use it in the fight against Purple Potato?
He clearly used the Time Stone when fighting Dormammu, right?
So, what exactly happened during that battle on Titan?
[And what about the others on Titan? Spider-Man? Star-Lord and the Guardians of the Galaxy?]
[Well, the others didn't really shine. Star-Lord especially messed things up, what a shame!]
[So, if you count it all up, I think the seventh-best moment should be Captain America's fight against Purple Potato.]
[That battle was definitely Captain America's finest hour. He, who had absolutely no right to fight Purple Potato, actually transformed into Thor and, with a series of combos, managed to stun Purple Potato!]
[That's a story Captain America can brag about for the rest of his life.]
Spider-Man?
Tony Stark immediately recalled.
Wasn't this the "kid" mentioned in the diary, the one who hung up on Nick Fury?
Although no clues had been found about this Spider-Man, the playboy found him quite pleasing.
But even a kid was involved in the battle on Titan?
Was the future shortage of superheroes already this severe?
Or had the war become this brutal?
Or perhaps the battle on Titan happened in a relatively distant future.
Distant enough that the "kid" had grown up?
The playboy thought all were possible, but he couldn't determine what exactly was going on.
Tony Stark then put those thoughts aside, turning his attention to the name "Star-Lord".
This was the second member of the Guardians of the Galaxy mentioned since the diary notebook brought up Drax the Destroyer.
Nothing else was known, but the nickname "Star-Lord" was pretty cool and oozed with style.
Just didn't know how strong he was.
And judging by the description in the diary notebook, well, Tony Stark realized he might have been expecting too much.
Zhou Cheng didn't bother to waste any words on the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy, not even mentioning them.
He just used the phrase "no outstanding performance" to brush them aside. Even that Star-Lord messed up something important! So, Tony Stark had a general idea of the Guardians of the Galaxy's scale and level.
Since this team dared to call themselves the "Guardians of the Galaxy" and use such an arrogant nickname, they must have some skills.
But in the battle against Purple Potato, both he, Tony, and Doctor Strange had performances that Zhou Cheng praised, while none of the Guardians of the Galaxy "made the list."
So, his strength should be inferior to that of Tony and Doctor Strange.
However, one thing is for sure.
The diary mentioned that the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Avengers had once joined forces.
So now it seems that the two sides should be joining forces to fight against the Purple Potato.
There's nothing to say about that.
And when the playboy's gaze moved downwards, he revealed a look of surprise and confusion.
"Captain America transformed into Thor?"
"What does this mean?"
Tony Stark was a little bewildered by this spoiler.
Going by the literal meaning, the diary was saying that Captain America had become Thor. But how could such a thing happen?
Captain America was just an extraordinary warrior who had been injected with the Super-Soldier Serum, but he was still a mortal.
So how could a mortal become a god from Asgard? Could a human really become a god?
However, judging by the description in the diary, it didn't seem like an exaggeration or a figure of speech.
It was indeed saying that Captain America had become Thor.
After all, before becoming Thor, Captain America "wasn't qualified to fight Purple Potato."
But what about after becoming Thor?
A combo had even stunned the Purple Potato!
The difference in strength between the two was simply too vast!
So, what exactly was going on?
"Rogers, his potential is actually this great!"
It wasn't just Tony Stark; even Nick Fury began to look at Captain America in a new light.
Previously, Fury had valued Captain America, but to be honest, when considering strength alone, Fury hadn't thought Captain America was that strong.
After all, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he was very clear about the strength of super soldiers who had been injected with the serum.
Of all the superheroes that the diary had spoiled, perhaps only Hawkeye Barton and Black Widow were exceptions.
Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Scarlet Witch, Doctor Strange, and so on.
Seeing how they performed, both of them far surpassed Captain America, even utterly obliterating him.
So, under these circumstances, why did Captain America become one of the three giants of the Avengers, alongside Iron Man and Thor?
Could it be because of his charisma?
Did Captain America's charm reach such a level that it won the complete respect of all those super-powered heroes?
Nick Fury had indeed wondered about this before.
But now, it seemed Nick Fury had discovered the truth.
It turned out that Captain America had a secret weapon: he could transform into Thor!
No matter the situation, what truly earns respect is always strength.
This, of course, is more persuasive than empty concepts like charisma or moral standards.
However, what Nick Fury would never have imagined was that his analysis was completely wrong.
The reason Captain America became one of the three giants of the Avengers had nothing to do with his strength. After all, Captain America's abilities weren't that strong.
So, Nick Fury was really looking forward to it.
Even though he didn't know how Captain America had become like Thor, he was really looking forward to that day.
[There probably isn't much else to say about Endgame, right? So, which battle could be ranked eighth?] [A more exciting and equally classic one should be the Hulk and Thor's battle in the Sakaar arena, right?] [You have to say, Hulk is worthy of being the Hulk, hammering Thor in front of so many people like he was a grandson.] [He also treated Thor like a hammer, slamming him on the ground, contributing another classic scene.] [But that battle only went halfway; Thor was about to unleash his full power when the Grandmaster zapped him.] [Otherwise, it's really hard to say what the final outcome of that battle would have been.]
Hulk beats up Thor!
When this topic came up, Tony Stark was no longer sleepy and became instantly energized.
The diary had previously mentioned the topic of the Hulk beating up Thor, so it was now certain that the Hulk was the one the playboy had been speculating about.
Tony Stark was genuinely surprised by this and couldn't help but want to complain.
Wasn't the Hulk a failed product of the military's attempt to replicate Captain America? Wasn't he a mutated product of gamma radiation? In short, he was a "mutant."
Yet, he could mutate to such a freakish degree that he could "rub" a god? Was this really reasonable? Well, the era of superheroes in the future was originally a time of chaos, so it was pointless to dwell on what was reasonable or not.
Judging by this, the battle mentioned in the diary, where "Hulk rubbed against Thor," should be the one currently taking place on Sakaar, right? Sakaar was undoubtedly an alien planet.
So, the future Hulk was also like himself, having gone to the universe, and even to an alien planet?
666! Hulk is pretty awesome!
Tony Stark still showed a considerable amount of appreciation for Hulk.
However, judging from the diary, when Hulk beat up Thor, Thor probably wasn't at his full strength, or at his peak condition.
After all, Thor hadn't "unleashed his full power" yet.
Zhou Cheng also thought that once Thor went all out, the outcome of the battle would be unpredictable.
It was clear that Thor was as strong as ever, worthy of being the badass who almost chopped the Purple Potato to death with one axe.
But, why would such a powerful Thor be electrocuted by the Grandmaster?
Wait a minute, electrocuted again? Huh? Why did I say "again"?
