Chapter 89: Mention of Thanos Snapping His Fingers Again – Everyone Is Afraid
🕑 Added 2025-04-25 20:26:04 +0000 UTCNick Fury was now 100% certain that the villain mentioned in the story of Thor 1 in Rowan’s diary was none other than Loki, the god of mischief.
Everything made sense. Thinking from the perspective of those Hollywood screenwriters, the narrative followed a clear path: Loki deceives Thor, Thor later uncovers the truth, regains his divine power, and ultimately returns to Asgard to battle Loki and reclaim his throne.
Perfect. Fury gave this script a full mark!
"Wait, what does this 'lonely star' mean?" Thor suddenly reacted and asked.
The term "lonely star of evil" didn’t sound like a good one.
"I know this," Phil Coulson spoke up. "It seems to be a term from China. It refers to a person whose loved ones and friends die because of them. That's why it's called the 'lonely star of evil.'"
When Thor heard this, he was immediately unsettled. He was a god, the prince of Asgard—how could he be the "lonely star"?
If anyone else had said this, Thor would have made sure they understood how powerful he was. But since it was Rowan who said it, Thor couldn’t help but wonder if there was some truth behind it.
This mortal’s words often seemed to represent reality, and while Thor still had a father, a mother, and a mischievous but beloved younger brother, he wasn’t sure what the future held. Could it become a reality?
Everyone looked at Thor with a somewhat pitiful expression. Clearly, such an evaluation was not a positive one. While things seemed fine now, these tragedies might unfold in the future.
Even Tony Stark, who had once envied Thor, was no longer envious. What was there to envy? Soon, he would be the lonely star of the gods, fighting against his father, his mother, his brothers, and even his lover. Was there anything worse than that?
[Speaking of which, how many of these superheroes are not the "lonely star of evil"? It seems that many of them are restrained, and even the supervillains have similar lives. Few of them experience true happiness.
The so-called "tragedy" involves shaping something beautiful and then tearing it apart before your eyes.
Don’t be fooled by Loki’s rebellion, which might seem like the typical mischief of a brat. When he watches the video, he’ll cry, especially when he sees how his actions, intended to embarrass his big brother, lead to the tragic death of his mother—the one person who truly loved him. That crying scene will likely shatter him completely!**
Seeing this, everyone started to feel uneasy. Rowan’s diary had not only referred to Thor as the "lonely star of the evil spirit," but it also suggested that other superheroes—and even supervillains—were likely to become one as well.
How could they remain calm now?
Ordinary people might enjoy a peaceful life, but superheroes—because of their powers—suddenly found themselves labeled as "lonely stars of the evil spirit." How could they tolerate this?
Just moments ago, everyone had pitied Thor, but now, they weren’t so sure. None of them might be any better off than Thor. It seemed that fate was equally divided.
For Thor, what made him most uneasy was reading in Rowan’s diary that his mother would die, and that it would be because of his younger brother Loki.
At this moment, even though Loki was his brother, Thor couldn’t help but feel deeply troubled.
This was personal because Loki’s actions, in trying to add to Thor’s troubles, eventually led to the death of their mother.
In other words, Thor’s mother’s death was now a certainty, set in the future because of Loki’s mischief.
As for his father, Rowan’s diary mentioned that Odin would live for a few more years—but even so, it was clear Odin’s death was inevitable, and it might be even more inexplicable than the death of Thor’s mother.
The death of his mother might still be a tragic accident caused by Loki’s mischief—and perhaps that could be prevented.
But the death of his father felt irreversible. Thor couldn’t think of any way to change that fate.
The real solution might lie in Rowan’s hands, but he refused to say anything, leaving everyone helpless.
And if we expand on the idea of the "lonely star of evil," it wasn’t just Thor’s mother or father who might die—Loki could die as well.
The thought of such an ending finally caused Thor to lose his composure. He was deeply uncomfortable with what he was reading.
The questions that Thor was thinking, others were thinking too. At this moment, everyone looked at Thor with sympathetic eyes.
"Speaking of which, Loki doesn’t seem all that bad, does he?" Hawkeye Barton said. "Maybe, in terms of character, he’s someone who’s both good and bad."
Everyone understood what Hawkeye meant. If the world was being written by screenwriters outside the fourth wall, Loki’s character could easily shift between being a villain or a hero.
"...He’s not bad by nature," Thor thought, still trying to defend his brother and salvage Loki’s reputation.
[But in the end, it doesn’t really matter—whether it’s sooner or later, under the snap of the purple sweet potato essence, everyone is equal and destined to die!
Another passage appeared in Rowan’s diary, sending a chill down everyone’s spine.
The "purple sweet potato essence" was not a new term. Rowan had mentioned it before, and it was clear that he was terrified of whatever or whoever the "purple sweet potato essence" was. This being possessed terrifying power, so much so that even Rowan, a foreseer, feared it.
"This purple sweet potato essence should be the same person mentioned last time," Tony Stark said after a brief pause.
"If there is only one 'purple sweet potato essence,' it must be the same individual. His real name is probably not 'purple sweet potato essence,' it’s likely a joke unique to Rowan," Nick Fury clarified.
"He snapped his fingers more than once!" Phil Coulson added. "The act of snapping fingers has been mentioned several times. Clearly, it’s not something trivial. It must be something so monumental that it has terrified Rowan."
Phil Coulson paused, a sense of dread filling the air. "Who is this 'purple sweet potato essence'? And is there any way to stop him from snapping his fingers?"
Everyone felt a sense of helplessness. There was no doubt that the act of snapping fingers by this entity was a catastrophe of enormous scale. The ripple effects were so far-reaching that Rowan had no way to avoid it.
Clearly, this wasn’t just another crisis—it was something much more catastrophic, not even remotely comparable to other events.
