(As I said before, I won't let Iron Man and the others know they're movie characters. Don't worry, I won't contradict myself, at most I'll just brush against it.)
Whoosh!
The very instant Clark responded to Playboy and established a connection with his Diary.
A corresponding prompt also flashed through Clark's mind.
It made Clark slightly stunned.
The prompt's wording was rather official and stiff, but the general meaning was that the current version of the Diary wasn't sufficient to support unlimited cross-dimensional chatting.
In other words, when it came to cross-dimensional communication, there were usage restrictions for Diary holders. They could only chat for about two hundred characters a day, including punctuation marks!
???
What the hell!
Clark was stunned on the spot.
"Cross-dimensional?"
What does that even mean?
Could it be that the holder of the Diary, the one called Tony Stark, is from another dimension?
Good heavens.
Isn't this joke a bit too much?
This isn't even intergalactic anymore, it's cross-dimensional!
So, this mysterious Diary in his hand is actually from a transcendent being from another dimension?
Thinking about the various wonders of the Diary, thinking about how the Diary accurately predicted the future, Clark felt after some contemplation that it was indeed possible.
With such an awesome Diary, no matter how big its background is, it wouldn't feel strange.
"Cross-dimensional!?"
Tony on the other side had a similar expression to Clark.
He never would have thought that the "Seventh Person" was actually from another dimension.
Good heavens, Playboy almost blurted out "good heavens."
Wasn't this implying that their "Diary League" had a teammate from another dimension? Considering that all Diary holders so far were superheroes, all were good guys.
And there wasn't a single villain among them.
Therefore, Tony already had a basic judgment and attitude towards the Seventh Person.
At the same time, his curiosity was greatly piqued.
Who exactly was this teammate from another dimension?
"No wonder you seemed so calm, as if you didn't know me. So, you're from another dimension."
"That explains it."
Tony's thoughts moved, and the corresponding words were transmitted to Clark's mind.
Clark couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
This guy named Tony really talks big, as if he's some kind of big shot that everyone knows!
"Considering we have chat restrictions, let's greet each other using the most concise language."
"Hi, hello, nice to meet you."
"Alright, that's it, now let's get down to business."
Just as he was about to reply to Tony, before he could even organize his thoughts, another string of information popped up from the other side.
"I agree!"
Clark still very much agreed with Tony's proposal.
There was no help for it; cross-dimensional communication couldn't be unlimited, so it was natural to save any useless drivel.
"Let's start by understanding each other's worlds."
"My world, or rather, my dimension, has a codename. It's called 'Marvel'."
"What about you?"
Tony asked Clark directly.
Dimension codename?
Clark instinctively shook his head. Did dimensions even have codenames?
If there were such things, wouldn't they be named by some "hyper-dimensional being" that transcends all dimensions? How could Clark possibly know that?
Speaking of which, that guy named Tony even knew the codename of his own dimension. Seems like he's quite something.
Wait a minute!
Marvel!
As Clark was secretly sighing, his expression suddenly tightened as he recalled something.
The Diary mentioned this word!
The owner of the Diary had once lamented that superheroes like Batman and Wonder Woman were no less than those in the Marvel world.
At the time, Clark hadn't thought much of it, instinctively assuming that Marvel simply represented a certain area.
Just as the places where superheroes like Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman appeared were designated as DC.
But now it seemed he was wrong!
After all this, Marvel was actually a dimension?
And since Marvel represented a dimension, didn't DC also represent a dimension?
So, his own dimension was named DC?
Clark suddenly understood.
But he couldn't be sure.
However, since he had already contacted the holder of the Marvel dimension, he might as well ask them this question.
"How is your dimension named? Or rather, who named it?"
Clark asked Tony the question in his mind.
"The Diary's owner, Zhou Cheng."
"Didn't he mention your dimension?"
Tony answered as a matter of course.
"Is that so?"
Clark understood. He gave his answer.
"If that's the case, then my dimension should be called DC."
DC?
Just two letters? That's a bit too brief.
What exactly do these two letters represent? Wait! DC! Clark Kent!
Tony's eyes suddenly widened.
The window paper in his mind was instantly pierced, and he was immediately shocked.
No wonder he thought the name Clark Kent sounded so familiar at first.
After all that, wasn't that Superman's Earth name?
So, that "Seventh Person" was actually Superman!
No way, no way.
"You said you're Clark? You wouldn't happen to be the Clark from the Kent Farm, would you?"
"You wouldn't happen to be the last son of Krypton, Kal-El!"
Tony couldn't believe it and immediately asked Clark to confirm.
Clark's brow furrowed slightly.
The other party knew him so well?
That's right, his identity as Kal-El, the son of Krypton, was indeed mentioned in the Diary.
But Clark clearly remembered that the Diary had never mentioned the Kent Farm!
Nor had it ever mentioned his real name, Kal-El!
Furthermore, the other party was from a different dimension, so it was impossible for them to have investigated him.
So, how did the other party know these things?
"That's right, I am Kal-El."
Clark admitted his identity and also asked Tony the question in his heart, "But how did you know? The Diary didn't mention these things."
What the hell!
The other party was really that Superman from the DC comics!
Tony was completely shocked.
All along, he had only thought that the DC series was just a comic, and he never thought much about it.
But now, the Diary's feedback told him.
That comic wasn't just a comic, it was a real world!
Tony felt his worldview shatter.
If the DC world was a comic book within his world, then what about the Marvel world?
Was it possible that it was also a work from another world?
And Tony suddenly remembered that the former owner of the Diary, Zhou Cheng, had mentioned things like, "Iron Man" this and that, and what the plot was like.
The Playboy hadn't paid much attention at the time.
He'd just thought that in the other person's original world, there were movies made based on them, the superheroes, and that was all.
But now, it didn't seem that way!
Instead, there was a high probability that their Marvel world, like DC, was just a work from another world.
What the hell?
Why was this happening!
Why would there be works about them in other worlds, or even in worlds where they didn't exist at all?
Were they all just characters in some kind of work?
"This is a bit harsh!"
"I have to say, even I'm a little shocked!"
Tony Stark, who was always so cool and arrogant, was no longer calm after realizing everything.
Although there were basically no doubts, Tony, unable to accept it, still confirmed with Clark again.
"Clark, in your world, is there a Batman? Is there a Wonder Woman?"
"Is there a Justice League?"
Tony confirmed with Clark again.
"Yes, we do have Batman here, and according to the Diary, there's also Wonder Woman and the Justice League."
"But the Justice League hasn't been established yet."
Clark spoke the truth.
Boom! A storm of emotion surged through Tony's heart.
Confirmed.
There was no doubt!
The other person's world was indeed the DC world.
The world in the comics within the Marvel world truly existed.
Then, was it possible that the other person was joking with Tony, or lying?
Playboy felt that this possibility was really too low, so low it could be ignored.
After all, the Diary had already certified that the other party was from a different dimension.
Could this be fake?
A person from another dimension, who didn't even know him, why would they lie to him or trick him?
"You still haven't told me how you know all this."
Lost in thought, Tony received another question from Clark.
Tony didn't waste any more words and told Clark the truth: "Because I've read your story."
"In my world, there's a series of very popular comic books."
"They tell the stories of superheroes like Superman, Batman, and Flash."
Clark on the other side was also stunned.
He never expected to get an answer like this.
So, the guy named Tony was telling him that they, these living people, were actually characters in a comic book from another world?
That their lives were all depicted in those comic books?
It was absurd!
And it made absolutely no sense! It was impossible to understand.
"Are you sure?"
Clark couldn't believe it and asked Tony to confirm.
"I know. I understand."
Tony replied, "I feel the same way you do right now, so I need to ask you for something."
"What is it?"
"Help me confirm if there are any works about Iron Man in your world."
Playboy's face was serious as he began sending a message to Clark within his mind, "You might not know me, or maybe you just haven't seen it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist in your world, so I need you to confirm."
"Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra."
"Please!"
This matter was also very important to Clark, and it also had great reference value.
If there were indeed relevant works as the other party said in his world, then it was very likely that they also had their works in other worlds!
"I understand."
"I'll confirm that."
Clark agreed to this matter without any hesitation.
The matter was thus agreed upon very happily.
"By the way."
After that, Clark couldn't help but ask Tony a question, "In the comics there, do I have a cousin, and a cousin brother?"
"I don't know about a cousin brother. I read Superman's story when I was young, but you do have a cousin sister."
"It seems... her name is Supergirl."
In English, cousin sister and cousin are the same word.
It's just that Zhou Cheng described in the Diary that Supergirl Kara's adoption was all arranged by Clark.
That's why Clark felt that the other person was younger than him, and naturally regarded her as his cousin.
But Tony, who had read the comics, knew that she was a cousin.
However, even if there was a deviation in understanding, it didn't hinder the communication between the two at all.
"Really?"
Clark became excited, "When will she come to Earth? Can I also ask you for something? Confirm the matter of my cousin."
"Of course I can do that, but there's a problem."
"Superman exists in many parallel universes, and I can't be sure which universe you're from."
Tony pointed out the crux of the problem.
Superman's story varies greatly across different universes.
Of course, there's actually a crucial issue Tony doesn't know about.
The dimension where Superman resides isn't within any of the parallel universes in the comics.
Because the movie universe Superman is in doesn't exist within the Marvel world.
There are indeed DC comics in Marvel, but there are no DC movies.
The reverse is also true.
There are Marvel comics in the DC world, but similarly, there are no Marvel movies.
In other words, neither Tony nor Clark could accurately understand what was happening in their own worlds from the other.
All they could learn were things happening in other parallel universes, outside of their own.
They could only use it as a reference.
Oh, wow!
Clark was immediately at a loss for words.
And soon, both Clark and Tony received prompts from the Diary.
Clark had run out of "balance," so the chat was already restricted and they couldn't chat anymore.
Although they were disappointed, there was nothing they could do, and they had to end it here.
Another thing worth mentioning.
Clark's two-hundred-word limit isn't a "balance" of two hundred words for each Diary holder.
Instead, Clark's total balance is two hundred words.
Whether Clark is chatting privately or in a group, it all adds up to two hundred words.
In fact, when communicating with Tony, Clark also responded to other Diary holders.
He didn't even say much before the balance was completely used up.
He can only wait until tomorrow.
"Iron Man, Captain America, Thor!"
After exiting the Diary with a thought, Clark turned his attention to these superheroes.
What he needed to do next was already very clear.
He was going to seriously investigate whether there were any works related to these people in his world!
