The Sling Ring, as the diary had mentioned before, wasn't something Tony was unfamiliar with.
Simply put, it was a tool Doctor Strange used to open portals.
Even a fool could tell that such a magical item wouldn't be for just anyone to use.
Even for a magician, mastering it would require a period of training and practice.
Didn't the diary say that even a genius like Doctor Strange had a hard time learning to use The Sling Ring?
He almost froze to death on Mount Everest!
Haha, who would have thought that the famous Doctor Strange had such interesting anecdotes from his magical studies?
But, what's with Mount Everest?
Learning to open a space portal, did it really need such a grand display?
They had to go to Mount Everest to learn?
That extremely cold environment on Mount Everest, is that even a place humans can stay?
Without some special means, a person could be frozen to death within minutes, let alone study.
One could only say that Kamar-Taj was worthy of its reputation; they really knew how to play!
You had to admit it.
Of course, that's not important. What's important is that even a genius of Doctor Strange's level put in a considerable amount of effort to learn how to use The Sling Ring.
But what about Ned? He learned it without any instruction!
This performance wouldn't that directly obliterate Doctor Strange?
Judging by this outrageous display, Ned's magical talent indeed far surpasses Doctor Strange's!
It's terrifying!
Tony couldn't help but look at the projection of Ned in front of him again, the more he looked, the more surprised he was.
The playboy really hadn't expected this unremarkable little fat kid to have such a terrifying talent.
Thinking about it, even Doctor Strange, whose magical talent wasn't as good as Ned's, could reach such a terrifying level in the future.
Then Ned's future is simply limitless!
"Spider-Man Curse?"
And then, Tony's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly.
Spider-Man's best friend would become his enemy?
Considering that Spider-Man is a superhero, this sentence could also be understood as, Spider-Man's good friends always become supervillains?
That's a bit ridiculous, isn't it?
It was almost absurd.
Especially for Tony, a top-tier scientist, this was utter nonsense.
Even if Spider-Man's friend had truly become a supervillain, it would definitely be due to some related factors.
Perhaps Spider-Man played a role in it, even contributing to his friend's "villainization."
But to simply attribute it to the "Spider-Man Curse" was undoubtedly unreasonable.
Of course, then again, the diary's owner, Zhou Cheng, was only joking.
But even so, this situation was, to a certain extent, still worth being wary of.
In any case, the diary's owner, Zhou Cheng, knew a lot about other universes.
Since the other party sighed like that, it definitely meant that a large number of Spider-Man's friends in various universes had become supervillains.
Considering the high degree of similarity between the universes in the Marvel series.
Although it was just a joke, the playboy still couldn't completely ignore it.
[Although Ned and others, like everyone else, have forgotten Spider-Man's existence under Doctor Strange's magic.]
[But it's hard to say for sure.]
[You know, in Earth-199999 (MCU), there are actually some "beings" who know Spider-Man's identity.]
[That is Venom, who traveled from the Sony-688 Universe!]
[And a Symbiote, such a magical being, has a hive mind, even when in different universes.]
[This is also why the Venom from the Sony-688 Universe instantly recognized Spider-Man after arriving in Earth-199999 (MCU), even though there was no Spider-Man in its own universe.]
[It didn't recognize Spider-Man, but rather Spider-Man's suit!]
[Because in Bully Maguire's universe, Venom had fought Spider-Man!]
Symbiote Venom? Tony Stark made his judgment in a single second.
The "traveled from" Venom mentioned in the diary, without a doubt, was the Venom brought over by Doctor Strange's magic during the previously mentioned "Multiverse Spider-Man Event," right?
The playboy clearly remembered that Doctor Strange had cast a certain spell, sending all those "guests" who had traveled from other universes back.
Symbiote Venom was one of them.
But unlike those other "guests," although Venom was sent back, a drop of Venom was still left behind within Earth-199999 (MCU).
Considering the nature of the Symbiote, Tony immediately knew this small drop of Venom would likely become a problem within Earth-199999 (MCU).
However, judging by the current situation, Tony realized he seemed to have underestimated the potential threat of Venom.
Or rather, he underestimated the threat of this amazing Symbiote.
He never expected that Symbiotes could possess such a powerful hive mind.
It could even work across the multiverse!
This was a bit too terrifying, a bit too exaggerated, wasn't it?
It could work across universes?
The diary was very clear; there was no Spider-Man in the Sony-688 Universe!
Well, the Sony-688 Universe was the first numbered "Sony" universe mentioned in the diary.
It seemed that his previous guess was correct; "Sony" was indeed a category, just like "Marvel."
Beneath the Sony universe, just like the Marvel Universe, there were many, many very similar parallel universes.
Not only the Sony-688 Universe, but even the "Bully Maguire" universe mentioned later seems to be a part of the Sony-verse as well.
It's just that the diary's owner, Zhou Cheng, didn't provide a corresponding number.
But that's not important.
What's important is that Venom exists in the Sony-688 Universe, but Spider-Man doesn't.
So, logically, the Venom from the Sony-688 Universe shouldn't recognize Spider-Man after being brought to Earth-199999 by Doctor Strange's magic.
But what happened?
In the Bully Maguire universe, both Venom and Spider-Man exist.
So, because the Symbiote's hive mind is so incredibly powerful, they can share thoughts across universes.
This is what caused the Venom from the Sony-688 Universe, who had never seen Spider-Man before, to recognize him.
That's just how it is, the logic is very straightforward and easy to understand.
But the hive mind between Symbiotes is truly astonishing.
Doesn't this mean that every Symbiote in the multiverse is equivalent to a "multiverse encyclopedia"?
They don't need to traverse the multiverse to know everything about other universes where their variants exist?
What an amazing ability! I just don't know if these Symbiotes can only share thoughts, or if they can further communicate and connect through this shared thinking? If they can even communicate and connect, then, wow, isn't this a natural "multiverse Symbiote alliance"?
It's staggering to think about. Besides that, there's "Bully Maguire".
Maguire is undoubtedly a person's name.
And since he is called a bully, it is clear that this person is not a good person.
Why would the diary's owner, Zhou Cheng, use the name "Bully" to refer to that Sony universe?
Instead of numbering it directly, like the Sony-688 Universe? The only explanation is that Bully Maguire is too representative, even to the point of being a label for that universe.
If a bully can reach that level, this should be considered a model bully in the multiverse, right?
Tony really wanted to see what kind of bully this Bully Maguire was.
[And Venom? Isn't he one of Spider-Man's most classic opponents?]
[Plus Spider-Man's "Brother's Darkening" Curse, maybe Ned will be possessed by Venom and become a new generation of Venom.]
[Of course, this is just one possibility.]
[After all, Venom has had too many hosts, and even Spider-Man is one of Venom's classic hosts.]
[In addition to this, Spider-Man's classmate Flash Thompson, and the Merc with a Mouth, Deadpool, have also been hosts to Venom.]
[I even remember that the Kree have been hosts to the Venom symbiote, too.]
For a moment, the playboy didn't know what to say.
Spider-Man's "Brother Blackening Curse" + Venom is a classic foe setup for Spider-Man.
This situation looked rather unfavorable for Ned.
Could it be that in other universes, Ned was truly a host to Venom?
However, the diary didn't provide a specific answer.
Whether Ned was a host to Venom or not, the playboy didn't know, but he did get quite a few other answers.
"The host of Venom, there are really a lot of them."
Following that, Tony couldn't help but exclaim.
According to the diary's description, Venom is Spider-Man's "classic opponent."
So, during their encounters, Spider-Man being parasitized by Venom is indeed within reason.
But even Deadpool was parasitized by Venom? That guy with a very annoying personality, so annoying that even his nickname included the word "annoying"?
That's right, the Wade in this universe has long been under Tony and Nick Fury's comprehensive surveillance.
However, according to the information they have, this Wade is a retired mercenary who is now acting as Satan's agent.
While he's not an ordinary person, it's very clear that he's not the same Deadpool from other universes.
After all, the diary had been officially stamped, and there were no mutants in Earth-199999.
At least, not yet.
But one day in the future, mutants from other universes should appear in Earth-199999.
That's what "Kevin Feige" said!
As for "Flash Thompson"? "Jarvis!"
The playboy immediately gave Jarvis an order to carefully check out this seemingly awesome guy.
"Flash" Thompson! What kind of guy dares to use such a cool and awesome nickname?
"Eugene Thompson, a classmate of Peter Parker and Ned, but a year ahead of them."
Whoosh! Jarvis projected Flash Thompson's information in front of Tony in a second.
Playboy: "..."
The guy named Flash Thompson was indeed unremarkable according to the data, which was nothing to be surprised about.
But why did Tony suddenly feel like this Thompson looked like an idiot?
However, considering that Thompson was one of Venom's hosts in other universes, Tony immediately began to self-reflect.
Well, he, Tony, was judging people by appearances!
That was wrong!
But, judging by the timeline, by the time of the Three Spider-Men Together, the Kree Empire would probably have already declined quite a bit?
Captain Marvel is really quite the troublemaker. After Thanos died, the Kree Empire should have been one of the most powerful forces in the universe, right?
To think it was brought to that state by Captain Marvel!
Captain Marvel should be one of the most powerful women in the entire universe, right?
[Of course, she's still a bit behind her opponent, Dar-Benn.]
[Regardless, Dar-Benn tore a huge hole in spacetime, and could even take on the Captain Marvel alliance by herself.]
"Captain Marvel."
Tony: "..."
Zhou Cheng, the owner of that diary, really had no filter.
Although the playboy already knew Danvers's true identity, in terms of age, she could indeed be called "auntie," but it was better if everyone just knew about it.
You openly call her that in your diary. If Danvers found out, how awkward would that be?
But on second thought, well, she doesn't know her diary has an "audience."
It wasn't unreasonable for the other person to call her that in a private setting.
Tony didn't dwell on it and turned his attention back to the diary.
He immediately felt surprised.
What exactly had Captain Marvel done? To cause the decline of the Kree Empire?
The Kree Empire was one of the most prosperous and powerful civilizations in the universe.
The war with the Skrulls, where they drove the Skrulls from their home and killed all but a few hundred thousand who were now barely surviving on Earth, was one thing.
Even Ronan the Accuser, who had emerged from within the Kree Empire, had scared Xandar to the point of being terrified! The might of the Kree civilization was plain to see.
But such a powerful civilization had been destroyed by Captain Marvel?
Awesome! I'm impressed!
Tony couldn't help but give Captain Marvel a silent thumbs up.
"So, that's the reason for the peace treaty between the Kree Empire and the Skrulls?"
Immediately afterward, Tony suddenly realized something.
His diary had previously mentioned that Nick Fury had left a mess on Earth and just left, going off to mediate the peace talks between the Kree and the Skrulls.
The playboy had always wondered why the Kree would suddenly decide to negotiate peace with the Skrulls, who were just ants that could be crushed with a single foot.
Now, Tony finally understood.
Turns out, the Kree had become the ants!
