Quicksilver was killed by Reed because he tried to steal the Infinity Gems?
The diary had mentioned this before. That guy Reed had even performed a craniotomy on himself, alive, just to get his hands on the Infinity Gems.
So, there was basically no question that Reed was collecting the Infinity Gems.
The only problem was: where was the Infinity Gem inside his own head?
Previously, Ultimate Tony would never have believed the idea of having an Infinity Gem in his brain. He thought it was completely absurd.
But as the diary's various spoilers were verified, Ultimate Tony had long since become a firm believer in it.
He had also accepted the mind-boggling fact that there was an Infinity Gem in his head.
But...
Ultimate Tony had gone back to the hospital for another check-up. Except for the brain tumor, he found nothing else.
There was absolutely no gem in his head.
So, did something happen in the future that caused an Infinity Gem to appear in his brain?
After some thought, Ultimate Tony could only arrive at this conclusion.
But as for what exactly happened, the diary didn't mention a single word about it, so it wasn't something Ultimate Tony could figure out.
"Quicksilver?"
Tony from Universe 199999 was also deeply surprised by this.
In his own universe, Quicksilver was just a "supporting character" with almost no presence.
The only thing anyone remembered was that he, as a speedster, died by bullets, becoming a disgrace to speedsters.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
And this was the original future.
So what about now?
Wanda and Quicksilver had long been under secret surveillance by Nick Fury. Egghead had tried countless times to persuade himself to use the Mind Stone to experiment on the two and awaken their abilities.
But because of Playboy's resolute opposition, the matter eventually had to be dropped.
Wanda and Quicksilver were left in a "wild and free-range" state.
Years passed in the blink of an eye, yet none of it brought Egghead any surprises.
At least, the last time Tony had paid attention to the siblings, they were still just ordinary people.
Even Wanda, whose magic awakened spontaneously and had nothing to do with the Infinity Gems, was no exception.
Under such circumstances, how could the Playboy have ever imagined that Quicksilver from the other universe was actually so formidable?
Ultron, Magneto—these were all infamous supervillains.
Each one of them had either come close to wiping out all of humanity or nearly destroyed the entire Earth.
Doctor Doom didn't exist in his own universe, so Tony wasn't too familiar with him.
But judging by the tone of the diary, he seemed to be a being on the same level as Ultron and Magneto.
And the result?
They were all Quicksilver's pawns!
Playing all these supervillains in the palm of his hand, the Quicksilver from the other universe was the villain among villains.
This level of prestige and status was truly something Tony had never expected.
The only thing that made one sigh with regret was that the Quicksilver from the other universe had also died.
Even in another universe, with another identity, Quicksilver still couldn't escape his own death.
And then there's Reed from that other universe.
The diary had mentioned before that Reed became a major villain in that universe, and now it seems this is being further confirmed.
Tony didn't know about the other things Reed was up to, but now it appeared that Reed was playing the role of Thanos in the Ultimate Universe!
So the question was:
What kind of existence was Thanos in that other universe?
Reed was collecting the Infinity Gems—surely Thanos wouldn't be doing the exact same thing?
If Thanos really was also collecting the Infinity Gems, wouldn't they end up having an ultimate battle in the end?
Tony was very interested in this point.
[Oh right, and in this universe, there aren't six Infinity Gems, but eight!]
[And unlike in Universe 199999, each gem doesn't have a specific name and function.]
[However, one thing remains unchanged: gathering all the Infinity Gems will grant supreme power.]
[Reed intended to collect the Infinity Gems and reshape the world anew.]
[Haha, he's following the exact same path as those big villains who want to destroy the world.]
[Fortunately, in the end, Reed helped everyone defeat Galactus, effectively redeeming himself at the critical moment.]
[Speaking of which, Galactus's subsequent invasion was entirely Wolverine's fault from the Main Universe.]
[If he hadn't continuously traveled through space-time and shattered the space-time continuum, how could Galactus from the Main Universe have ended up in the Ultimate Universe?]
*Eight of them!*
*The Infinity Gems in the neighboring universe actually had two more?*
*And judging by the diary's tone, the Infinity Gems in the neighboring universe didn't have specific distinctions like Space, Power, or Soul?*
*It had to be said, this was a significant difference from the Infinity Gems in his own universe.*
*Of course, even so, since they were Infinity Gems, they were bound to contain power sufficient to destroy the heavens and the earth.*
*This point should remain unchanged; even if the diary didn't mention it, Tony could still guess it.*
*There was just one thing.*
*So Reed is collecting the Infinity Gems because he plans to reshape the world?*
*Just how dissatisfied is Reed with the current reality to harbor such a mad and extreme ambition?*
*At first glance, he seems remarkably similar to Thanos.*
*After all, Thanos didn't seek the Infinity Gems for personal ambition or hegemony either.*
*His goal was to balance the universe, which, in a sense, could also be described as reshaping the world.*
*Well, it seems the Reed from the Ultimate Universe has truly become a major villain.*
*Still, this wasn't for Tony to worry about. The Ultimate Universe's version of himself and the rest of the Ultimate Fantastic Four would have to deal with that headache.*
*After a brief moment of internal commentary, the playboy refocused his attention on the diary, only to be immediately struck with astonishment.*
*"The Main Universe!"*
*"The Galactus of the Ultimate Universe actually came from the Main Universe?"*
*This was another revelation that caught Tony completely off guard—something he never could have imagined.*
*The diary had previously mentioned that the Ultimate Universe had been attacked by Galactus more than once.*
At the time, Tony had been curious, unable to wrap his head around why the Galactus from the neighboring universe had such a relentless grudge against Earth.
*Why couldn't he just invade once and be done with it? Why did he keep coming back over and over again?*
Only now did the playboy finally get his answer.
As it turned out, the Galactuses targeting Earth weren't the same one!
There was the Galactus of the Ultimate Universe, and similarly, there was the Galactus from the Main Universe!
All you could say was that the Ultimate Universe was truly cursed. Even the Galactus from the Main Universe could cross universes to attack it—who could they possibly complain to about this?
And the reason this was happening was actually because Wolverine had traveled through time multiple times?
*Good grief. Time travel could cause such severe consequences?*
It wasn't just some butterfly effect; it could actually destroy the space-time continuum!
Tony had originally thought time travel was no big deal—he'd even invented a Quantum Time Machine in his own future. But now, the playboy realized this matter was far more serious and grave than he had ever imagined.
Tony also felt a faint sense of threat!
If Galactus from the Main Universe could travel to the Ultimate Universe, then was it possible for him to come to his own universe as well? Who could say for sure?
"Is it Reed again?"
Ultimate Tony from Earth-1610 couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The diary had made it clear: the first invasion by Galactus was defeated by Professor X and Reed working together. And yet, the second invasion was *still* defeated by Reed?
So, they just couldn't do anything without Reed, huh?
Why did it feel like compared to Reed, he—the great Tony—and everyone else on the Ultimate Fantastic Four were just useless? Even if Reed became a supervillain, everyone still had to rely on him?
Ultimate Tony refused to believe it!
Galactus was about to arrive, wasn't he? The Playboy felt a surge of silent defiance. He wanted to see exactly how powerful Galactus really was!
After brushing aside these chaotic thoughts, Ultimate Tony finally refocused his attention on the diary.
He intended to keep reading the other spoilers.
But as always, the diary's updates had abruptly ceased without any warning.
Ultimate Tony shrugged and exited the diary interface.
"Stark, what are you thinking about?"
Nick Fury's voice rang out. Seeing Ultimate Tony seemingly lost in thought, Egghead couldn't resist asking.
"What did you think about the matter I mentioned to you before?"
Ultimate Tony didn't answer Nick Fury. After a moment's silence, he asked Nick Fury a question instead.
"The matter about Hank?"
Egghead raised an eyebrow.
After the Liberators' mess ended, Ultimate Tony had proposed to Nick Fury that Hank be brought back into the Ultimate Fantastic Four.
Of course, that wasn't the key point. The key was to take full control of Hank's Ultron robots.
Then, find a plausible excuse to destroy them all.
And be done with it!
At the time, Ultimate Tony had given Egghead the reason of the Machine Crisis. But after so many incidents, Nick Fury had formed other suspicions.
Stark had his reasons for wanting the Ultron robots destroyed.
In the past, Nick Fury would have dismissed Ultimate Tony's advice without a second thought. But now, he took every word from the man seriously.
"Stark, what else do you know?" Fury asked, his gaze fixed and certain. "You can't keep doing this. If you have critical intelligence, I think I'm entitled to know."
"Let's talk back at the Tri-Force," Ultimate Tony replied, glancing at the other Ultimate Fantastic Four members chatting and laughing around them.
Fury was right. If Ultimate Tony wanted to take action based on the diary's spoilers, he couldn't bypass S.H.I.E.L.D.
Egghead needed to know.
But what about the others? His teammates in the Ultimate Fantastic Four?
Ultimate Tony decided that wasn't necessary. After all, this miraculous diary was his ultimate secret.
Nick Fury nodded and said no more.
When the rest of the group returned to the Three-Faced Tower, the first thing Nick Fury did was set up a dedicated research center.
What were they researching?
Naturally, they were working to repair Vision.
After Vision's brief "moment of lucidity" in Tunguska, he had fallen back into a dormant state. If they wanted to extract any more information from him, they had to repair him as quickly as possible to wake him up.
With Nick Fury's order, a massive team of scientists and all the necessary resources were immediately deployed. That went without saying.
"Alright, Stark."
"You seem to have something to say to me."
"I think we can finally speak candidly now."
Only after everything else was settled did Nick Fury meet with Ultimate Tony alone, speaking to him with grave earnestness.
"When Gunnar Gelman told you Thor was mentally ill, I told you he was lying. Thor isn't a mortal man—he is the true God of Thunder!"
"I think you've heard about Barton. I warned him long ago that Natasha would assassinate him, and that's exactly what happened."
"And before Rogers was captured, I told you he was being framed."
"Don't even get me started on the Liberators. I warned you about them long before they launched their raid on the city."
"And then there's the truth behind the Tunguska Event..."
Under Nick Fury's gaze, Ultimate Tony recounted it all, his voice brimming with confidence.
"OK."
Egghead's face was a picture of frustration. "If you were trying to prove you're better suited for the role of Director of the Intelligence Bureau, Tony, you've succeeded."
Compared to Stark, he, the head of the world's largest intelligence agency, seemed like a complete failure.
His judgments were either wrong, or his intelligence was so severely outdated that Ultimate Tony had completely outclassed him.
But at the same time, Egghead's curiosity grew. Stark didn't have a massive intelligence agency at his disposal like he did. How did he know so much?
"Is that so? You're already defeated before I've even started?"
"How boring."
Ultimate Tony gave a flamboyant shrug, but quickly shifted his tone to business. "Anyway, while your offer is tempting, I'm not interested. I still have a whole life to enjoy."
"The reason I'm telling you all this—besides making you realize the gap between us—is primarily to prove that you can trust me when it comes to intelligence."
"Including what I'm about to tell you about Ultron."
Egghead's expression immediately turned grave.
*Just as I thought!*
He knew it. Stark wasn't just throwing things out there blindly; he really did know something.
"Stark, I'm listening," Nick Fury said, nodding solemnly.
"I have intelligence that Ultron is planning an assassination attempt on Wanda," Ultimate Tony revealed with a serious expression.
Nick Fury's face instantly darkened. As an intelligence chief, how could he not understand the gravity of the situation?
Wanda was Magneto's daughter, after all!
