Tony instinctively scoffed. That version of himself in the Zombie world was a total waste, wasn't he?
He had so many advantages against Zombies, far more than the average person. No matter how you looked at it, he shouldn't have gotten bitten.
And yet, he still turned into a Zombie?
But then he saw that even Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch had become Zombies, and Tony felt a little better.
It also made him even more curious.
With the abilities of those two Master Sorcerers, Zombies should have been child's play for them, right? One controlled time and space magic, and the other controlled reality-altering Chaos Magic. They were both incredibly powerful.
And yet, they couldn't even handle Zombies? It was like a joke! It wasn't just that they became Zombies, the most crucial thing was that after they turned, these superheroes all died horrific deaths.
He, Tony, getting beheaded was the least of it. Zombie Captain America was even bisected by his own shield! Especially Doctor Zombie, who was eaten to a skeleton by Ants.
Wow, an Ant?
When did Ants get so strong?
They can even wipe out Zombies?
Are these even the Ants he remembers?
So, the Ants here should be the same type as the one that defeated Kang the Conqueror in the Quantum Realm?
Are they all "super Ants" created by Ant-Man's family?
The playboy couldn't help but make this guess.
Just don't know, if Zombie Doctor Strange and Zombie Scarlet Witch fought, who would be stronger?
Forget Zombie Doctor Strange from the Zombie universe, he's definitely not a match for Zombie Scarlet Witch.
After all, Zombie Scarlet Witch is truly powerful, she even suppressed Hulk!
[Even Infinity Ultron can be fought.]
[Only that Zombie Doctor, controlled by Dreamwalking, could put up a fight.]
[So the Quantum Virus is really overbearing, so many extraordinary people can't stop it.]
[It's okay for those superheroes on Earth, but even Thanos, who has already gathered five Infinity Stones, has been hit and turned into a Zombie.]
[Isn't that a bit exaggerated?]
???
Tony felt a little surprised.
It's okay that the Zombie Doctor, controlled by the Dreamwalking of the corrupted Doctor, can still fight.
After all, that Zombie Doctor Strange was essentially a puppet.
There was a pair of large hands controlling him from behind.
But judging from the diary, the super-hero Zombies in the Zombie universe could actually fight?
"It seems the super-hero Zombies in the Zombie universe still retain the muscle memory from their 'previous lives'."
"Or, you could say, instinct."
However, after a moment's thought, Tony's face showed he understood.
This situation was both unexpected for the playboy, but upon closer inspection, it felt right.
After all, even though they had lost their consciousness and were biologically dead...
They could still move!
And they still had survival instincts!
Or to put it more bluntly, the "hardware" that drives various superpowers is still there, but there's a problem with the "software" that controls the superpowers.
In that case, it's not surprising that some of the superpowers from before death can still be used.
But even so, for the Zombie Scarlet Witch to suppress even the Hulk, and even deal with Infinity Ultron, is just too much! Is this really a Zombie?
It seems that no matter which universe it is, Scarlet Witch is still one of the top super-powered beings.
Tony once again secretly admired the Scarlet Witch's strength.
Besides that.
After all this, the culprit in this Zombie universe is actually the Quantum Virus?
The diary mentioned the Quantum Virus long ago, even calling it a virus that could destroy the entire universe.
Ever since then, everyone, including Tony, had been extremely wary of the Quantum Virus.
Although the diary didn't provide more detailed information, there was no doubt that this was a terrifying and domineering virus.
Yet, even Tony never expected that the Quantum Virus could turn people into Zombies.
Even superheroes could be infected!
Even Thanos, with the five Infinity Stones, was infected!
That was a bit too shocking!
That was Thanos with five Infinity Stones.
The Avengers had almost collected all the Infinity Stones, only missing the Time Stone from Kamar-Taj.
So they had a lot of say in this matter.
Possessing five Infinity Stones, without being polite, meant possessing the most top-tier power in the universe.
And yet, it couldn't stop the Quantum Virus?
It seemed that what the diary said about the entire universe being doomed wasn't an exaggeration.
"We absolutely have to keep an eye on Ant-Man and the others!"
Nick Fury, standing before another notebook, made that very decision.
The diary was quite clear. Out of all the superheroes and supervillains, only Ant-Man's family frequently interacted with the Quantum Realm.
And it wasn't just the interaction itself.
With the Quantum Virus and Kang the Conqueror, if they weren't causing trouble, it was always a massive problem.
Who could handle that?
Let's see, the time should be about right, shouldn't it?
Ant-Man and Yellowjacket's earth-shattering battle happened as scheduled. If I remember correctly, Ant-Man entered the Quantum Realm during that battle.
And then he had Quantum Entanglement with the original Wasp, Janet van Dyne!
[Hank Pym saw Lang successfully return from the Quantum Realm and realized that his wife might not be dead, which is why he decided to enter the Quantum Realm.]
[Hopefully, the Janet in this universe hasn't been infected by the Quantum Virus.]
[Could this universe be TRN893?]
[My luck shouldn't be that bad, right?]
Yellowjacket.
Tony only pondered for a moment before instantly reacting.
This guy must be Darren Cross in the Yellowjacket suit, right?
Tony, like Nick Fury, had paid close attention to the battle between Darren and Scott Lang.
He even used Jarvis to secretly monitor and investigate.
Even so, Tony really didn't know that Ant-Man would enter the Quantum Realm in this battle.
He would also experience that crucial "Quantum Entanglement" with Janet!
This Quantum Entanglement diary had been mentioned before, and it was the key to Ant-Man discovering the laws of time.
It was just that he hadn't expected it to also be the key to the Quantum Virus leaking out?
So it seemed that things really weren't over.
Whether it was Scott Lang or Hank Pym, they would still have to be watched closely in the future.
It was really worrying.
[But it doesn't matter, even if it's that universe, so what?]
[I can easily nip this tragedy in the bud!]
[Moreover, hasn't Loki repaired the TVA? The problem of time variance overload has been completely solved.]
[I really didn't expect that Loki, who initially waged war just to gain his father's love, would eventually transform to this extent.]
[He sacrificed himself for the entire universe!]
[He forever sat on the Time Throne, using himself to act as the TVA's time stabilizer.]
[He saved the entire TVA and also saved the collapsing Multiverse.] [Now I finally understand why the Time Stone is green.]
"Zhou Cheng, that guy, finally isn't just watching the show anymore?"
Tony couldn't help but exclaim.
All this time, Zhou Cheng had only been complaining and watching the show in his diary, nothing more.
Just like the identity he crafted for himself as a traveler, he completely regarded himself as a passerby, or rather, a spectator.
The various disasters and major events that occurred within this universe…
Although he knew everything clearly, he never intended to intervene and change anything.
Unless someone hired him for money.
And now, even someone like Zhou Cheng couldn't sit still anymore?
It seems he also doesn't want to live in a world filled with Zombies.
But since Zhou Cheng has started paying attention to this matter, the playboy is relieved.
Although he doesn't understand Zhou Cheng's true strength, judging from the tip of the iceberg he revealed, this person is undoubtedly a great master.
Tony doesn't doubt what he said, that he could easily extinguish the "Zombie crisis."
However, the spoilers about Loki that followed truly surprised Tony.
The diary had mentioned it before.
Because Lady Loki killed He Who Remains, or possibly because Ant-Man killed Quantum Kang.
This overloaded the TVA, causing it to be destroyed by the temporal energy, and the Multiverse fell into a great collapse.
Only Lady Loki, using the Time Tablet stolen from the TVA, and Loki, relying on his ability to "time-slip," escaped this disaster.
So, what happened next?
How would this Multiverse collapse end? Since Loki ultimately gained complete control over the ability to time-slip and became the God of Stories.
Could he prevent this Multiverse collapse? Tony was still very concerned about this.
And now, the diary finally gave an answer.
And it was a very positive and reassuring answer: the TVA was repaired, and the problem of the power overload was solved.
But, the price was Loki sacrificing himself!
Although Tony wasn't exactly sure what that so-called "stabilizer" was, or what the "Time Throne" was.
But judging from the diary's description, Loki had turned himself into a component of the TVA's operating mechanism?
In other words.
Loki could only stay in the TVA from now on, acting as the TVA's stabilizer?
What a sacrifice! What courage and audacity!
"Is this really Loki?"
"Loki actually did something like this?"
Tony couldn't help but be moved.
Was this really the culprit who launched the Battle of New York? Was this really the schemer who secretly let the Frost Giants into Asgard?
This was Loki?
He would actually sacrifice himself for the entire universe!
Tony had to admit, the playboy was truly looking at Loki in a new light.
But there was one thing.
Loki sitting on the Time Throne and becoming the TVA's stabilizer, what did that have to do with the color of the Time Stone?
[So, He Who Remains was still a step ahead!]
[Being killed by Lady Loki, triggering the collapse of the Multiverse, all of that was just part of his plan.]
[Using the entire Multiverse as a chess piece, He Who Remains had set up a grand scheme that transcended time and space. What a move.]
"It's a pity, He Who Remains calculated everything, but he didn't expect Loki to sacrifice himself."
"Even though he could have killed Lady Loki, Loki made such a huge sacrifice."
"He permanently imprisoned himself on the Time Throne, maintaining the operation of all timelines, unable to leave."
"At that moment, Loki had become the greatest superhero, bar none."
"Even greater than Tony's snap."
Oh, wow!
Was all of this just a scheme by He Who Remains?
The playboy's face once again showed a look of surprise.
The diary mentioned long ago that He Who Remains was killed by Lady Loki.
And the source of many subsequent events was also the death of He Who Remains.
And those events were all at the Multiverse level.
Whether it was the emergence of "Dark Doctor Strange Universe", "Zombie Universe", "Infinity Ultron Universe" and other branch universes.
Or the hardliners within the TVA blowing up a large number of timelines.
Or the Multiverse collapse, and so on.
Even the likely appearance of the Kang Council wreaking havoc in the universe.
It could be said that they were all direct effects, or chain reactions, of the death of He Who Remains.
And now, a stunning reversal!
It was all a scheme by He Who Remains!
A trap laid out by him.
Well, well.
Even Tony's experience couldn't help but exclaim, "Well, well."
The diary was right; He Who Remains's gambit was simply too massive!
So, you, you bear of a thing, you dragged the entire Multiverse into this, and even manipulated Loki, the God of Mischief, so thoroughly. What exactly is the goal?
According to the diary's tone.
According to He Who Remains's plan, Loki shouldn't have sacrificed himself but instead should have killed Lady Loki.
So, the key is Lady Loki?
Or rather, the key is to kill Lady Loki?
What role does Lady Loki play in He Who Remains's plan, and why is she so important?
"It's something that can be done by killing Lady Loki", so as long as Lady Loki is killed, Loki won't have to sacrifice himself?
He won't have to ascend the Time Throne and become the TVA's stabilizer?
In other words, if Lady Loki dies, the TVA can be repaired?
???
What the hell?
"Wait a minute."
After careful consideration, Tony thought of a possibility.
The diary was very clear: the death of He Who Remains caused the collapse of the Sacred Timeline, leading to an overload of temporal energy.
And how did Loki eventually repair the TVA?
He turned himself into a part of the TVA!
A very simple logic emerged from this: apart from Kang the Conqueror, no one else could operate the TVA.
The core technology of the TVA was absolutely in the hands of He Who Remains.
That's why, when He Who Remains died, the TVA was finished.
And what about He Who Remains, who was so important to the TVA?
He was killed by Lady Loki!
So, the logic of repairing the TVA by killing Lady Loki, does that mean that we have to stop Lady Loki from killing He Who Remains?
