Tony’s physiology was changing at a very slow rate while he was in the frozen black cocoon of his own skin.
The pain which was coming from the dissolving and reforming the bones was too immense and he completely denied the idea of sleeping through this ordeal as he didn’t wanted any mishaps in his integration of the Ennead Dragon Scales.
This Dragon scale was something that Ennead species thought of as their God’s part as due to the Dragons being the Divine Kings of the beasts and by virtue of it, their Gods too as they were half animals themselves.
That Dragon scale was the only proof of a Dragon existing in this universe, apart from the Nidhogg Dragon which resides in Niffleheim and gnaws on the roots of Yggdrasil.
To avoid his main concentration being the immense pain, Tony started to think about all the things that happened since the day he was born, about how he didn’t fit in with the children of his age, about how he just wanted to do something, anything which was interesting be it research on impossible subjects, things which were frowned upon or things which were just miraculous.
He remembered how he asked his father for money for his research but was denied and had to resort to killing them just to get their wealth.
He remembered how the Board of Directors coveted his Father’s position and how his Butler wanted to become his guardian so he could be the handler of Tony’s wealth. Being decisive and manipulative since young age, Tony sold his father’s controlling equity in share market to the normal public and then blackmailed the Butler with the video evidence of the latter raping a girl.
The Butler obviously didn’t remember such a thing as he was drunk and Tony had asked a hooker to act like she was being raped by the Butler for 10 grands but after the Video, Tony killed the hooker too and buried her in his backyard to tie any loose ends.
Tony abused the Butler who was the legal handler of his money till he turns 18 and when he did, the Butler himself committed suicide as to escape from the horrors of being Tony’s butler, and watching him experiment on living people and able to do nothing about it as he himself had a daughter he wanted to protect and didn’t wanted to have the rap.e video leaked to the media and risking his daughter watching it..
Tony used and abused absolutely everyone he met or didn’t met in his life and soon got bored with the things he was doing.
This was Tony’s biggest problem as he wasn’t able to get into anything. First he thought about making AIs, but he got bored after creating Jarvis, then he thought about curing Diabetes, which he did pretty quickly and hence was disappointed at how easy it was. His disappointments ended one day as he came to the Marvel world.
Although he knew what happens here, he was still a little excited as now, he could do anything he once thought of like researching Black Holes, Intergalactic Space travel, experimenting on alien species, or meeting the Fundamental Force of Infinity itself.
He was quite intrigued by Infinity as he could not detect it but that was understandable as the Infinity Stones were made by her only. He had already thought about Infinity taking the stones from him as she would not allow anyone who is not a part of her system to wield her powers.
After Infinity took her stones, Tony went to various different stars and various different galaxies to explore before going about his plans and returning to Asgard where Hela was just waiting for him.
He had thought about creating the Lifeline serum since the day he got the Tablet of Life and Time but it needed some things which only Odin could know.
Tony knew that Odin had already reincarnated and will return to Asgard one day but he can’t wait that long and devised a plan to tap into the Well of Wisdom located in Mímisbrunnr in Yggdrasil’s roots.

Thanos was walking through a screaming crowd of people who were being killed by his Chitauri forces. He was now far stronger then he had been before due the Phoenix force and was going about his Modus Operandi of killing half the population of every planet and adopting one child from their species.
He was recreating his Black Order for who knows what purpose and his Chitauri forces were doing his work with absolute aggression.
As Thanos was walking out of the crowd, he was trying to think about the person who defeated him and stole his Gauntlet with his Stones and was quite angry at not even being able to remember the words that person had said to him before beheading the Mad Titan.
“I will find you…”

Peter, Nebula and Drax went a little too far from the mushroom clouds and their bodies were freezing at a rapid rate.
In the chilly wind and blinding fog, they didn’t even know where the hell they were going and due to this, they all held each other’s hands.
Nebula knew about Drax following her but Peter was surprised when Drax and Nebula came behind him and held his hands.
After walking for a very long time, some of Nebula’s mechanical parts had stopped working due to the frost and Peter and Drax’s bodies were completely blue.
They were very close to dying in this condition when suddenly they saw a very small cave and rushed inside of it before falling unconscious.
A’Lars was eating some roots which grew underground when he heard three loud thuds coming from the surface and he quickly climbed up in a very deep cave and went towards the entrance to find Nebula, Peter and Drax.
.

Nebula was lying near a crevice with half frozen lava, under a heavy skin of a mountain wolf when suddenly she opened her eyes and leapt on her feet, ready to attack.
“Such sudden movements after a frostbite is quite dangerous, kid” Came a voice from her left.
As Nebula turned around to see who it was, she saw a Titan as big as Thanos but with normal human face and brown skin.
“Who..are you? And where is this?” Inquired Nebula with suspicion.
A’Lars, who was making a soup from the heat of the Lava turned to look at her and said with a sigh
“I am……was…known as A’Lars..and this my child, is Titan”
Nebula then asked some more things as a tiny vibranium tracker, which was attached to Peter’s shoe flew and attached itself on the ceiling while telecasting everything which was going on to a screen in Tony’s lab and of course on a screen in his mind too.

Tony didn’t wanted the public on earth to forget about the Iron man so he made Jarvis, who was now just like an application instead of an entire system, create some major troubles on earth and then made it send some Iron Man suits to solve the problem.
His popularity was increasing day by day as people couldn’t stop thanking him.
Suddenly, the frost coming from the Casket of Ancient Winters increased and Tony’s cocoon started to crack. His now pale white body had some patterns and faint designs of scales which soon turned to his normal skin.
His body was absorbing the chilly winds from the casket which instantly turned his skin to that of the frost giant before immediately turning to normal again.
*crack*….*crack*…
His cocoon started to crack little by little before completely shattering in one go and the chilly winds engulfed the entire bathtub when suddenly his outline started to show up in the windy fog of his bathtub.
The foggy wind got absorbed in him slowly to reveal two deep blue slit pupils radiating absolute menace.
The temperature of all the realms connected by Bifrost dropped a little which made everyone baffled. On Earth, Suddenly hailstorms erupted in many regions and many seemed to enjoy the sudden change of weather while many were concerned.
“What is happening” Said Hela with her brows furrowed as she saw the frost on the Bifrost bridge.
