The Greatness of the Void

Harvey knew very well that Tony Stark had experienced becoming younger and his physical fitness had become even more robust.

The time for him to request and aspire to become a being similar to himself wouldn't be long.

"Once you become a being similar to me, because your identity is different from mine, you will inevitably be discovered by others and seen as an anomaly."

"This was your concern before, are you truly sure now that you've thought it through?"

This moment had arrived before Harvey. After hearing this, he pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Being able to possess a much longer lifespan to develop my talents and discover things I've never known before."

"I believe this kind of opportunity is something countless people dream of."

"It's just that I was too foolish before and failed to realize how mediocre my own thoughts were."

"But now I understand."

Tony Stark looked at his own palm and said.

"Since you've made up your mind, I can agree to your request."

"But before that, let me formally introduce myself."

"I come from the Void, and the power I wield also originates from the Void."

Upon hearing this, Harvey's face broke into a smile, and he spoke.

Tony Stark wasn't surprised that Harvey Anberaka wasn't human, as the knowledge Harvey Anberaka possessed clearly exceeded the scope of Earth's superpowered individuals.

Harvey Anberaka's mindset and concepts were also like this; it was impossible to constrain Harvey Anberaka with morality.

However, when Tony Stark heard the word "Void," his eyes narrowed.

"That Grim Reaper, is he from the Void like you?"

It was precisely because he knew of the Grim Reaper's existence that Tony Stark had the door to a new world opened to him.

"The Grim Reaper is merely an identity I use for convenience in my actions."

Harvey's eyes flickered, and after considering it, he decided to tell him.

If he were to say they were compatriots, Tony Stark would definitely spend money to find the Grim Reaper later, hoping to chat with him as a fellow countryman.

Given Tony Stark's intelligence, it wouldn't be difficult for him to notice some clues, so it was better for him to just say it now.

"I apologize for my earlier offense..."

Upon hearing this, Tony Stark's mind raced. Thinking about how arrogant he had been towards Harvey Anberaka earlier, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"You don't need to be afraid after knowing my identity."

"I don't place much importance on etiquette, but I do have a principle."

"I treat others the way they treat me."

"As long as you don't intend to become my enemy, I won't harm you."

Harvey saw that Tony Stark was quite frightened, with cold sweat pouring down his face, and spoke to comfort him.

Tony Stark thought about it and realized that Harvey Anberaka didn't seem to be holding a grudge for his previous offense. He felt relieved.

"You might as well say the Grim Reaper is your kin, and in the end, you are the Grim Reaper."

"Then if I brought you to see my Iron Man armor, wouldn't I look like a clown?"

However, Tony Stark complained, thinking about his actions up to this point.

"That's something I didn't consider, but I never thought of you as a clown."

"On the contrary, I think you are a genius for being able to create the Iron Man armor with your own intellect."

"Although this Iron Man armor currently has some flaws, as long as it can create an element to replace palladium."

"In a sense, it can also bestow upon others a certain level of extraordinary power, bringing about a completely different, epoch-making change for humanity."

Harvey Anberaka paused his eating and reflected seriously before speaking.

"Putting that aside, I know you're from the Void. So how can I become a being similar to you?"

Tony Stark was taken aback by these compliments and, pretending not to care, changed the subject.

"Tony Stark, if you want to become a being similar to me, you must believe in the Void and join the Void."

Harvey saw the uncontrollable smile and pride on Tony Stark's face, but he didn't expose it. Instead, he followed Tony Stark's topic.

"Believe in the Void, join the Void?"

"What exactly is the Void? A place, an organization, or the embodiment of some will?"

Tony Stark was a little confused when he heard about believing and joining.

As Tony Stark asked this question, a system voice sounded in Harvey's mind.

"Detected a new being intending to contact the Void. Please confirm if the host wishes for the other party to experience what the Void is and alter their life essence."

"You can understand the Void as a certain place, a certain will, a certain race, or a certain dimension."

Harvey heard the voice and temporarily ignored it, instead explaining to Tony Stark.

"So, if I join the Void, I won't be human anymore?"

Tony Stark asked thoughtfully upon hearing this.

"You can understand it that way."

"After all, humans don't have long lifespans."

"Explaining it would be difficult to understand, so I'll let you see for yourself and then you'll understand."

"After you've seen it, you can make a decision on whether to believe in the Void."

Harvey nodded slightly at this and spoke.

"Let you see? Then what should I do?"

Tony Stark was somewhat intrigued, but he didn't know how to proceed.

"You'll know."

Harvey smiled and then confirmed the system's request.

The moment Harvey agreed, Tony Stark's eyes went vacant, his consciousness seemingly wandering far away.

Tony Stark felt as though he had arrived in the vast expanse of the cosmic galaxy.

At this moment, the galaxy surged, and a massive black hole of energy appeared, its kaleidoscopic colors blindingly brilliant.

Tony Stark had never witnessed such a spectacle with his own eyes in reality, only seeing such fantastical scenes in movies.

Just then, Tony Stark sensed the universe trembling. This phenomenon was strange, but he could clearly see the surrounding environment distorting and shaking, as if something terrifying was about to emerge from the energy black hole.

As Tony Stark realized this, his entire body froze. He was completely unable to move, as if every cell in his body was filled with dread.

Tony Stark had never experienced such a feeling before; he watched helplessly as the cosmic void began to warp.

A creature of unimaginable size, with purple skin and a form resembling a praying mantis, emerged from the energy black hole.

This was not its entire body, only a part of it, yet its volume was so immense that Tony Stark couldn't comprehend it.

In the face of this creature's colossal size, the stars of the universe became insignificant at that moment.

The celestial bodies of the universe seemed minuscule before this monster, let alone Tony Stark himself. He felt like a grain of stardust in the vast galaxy.

This creature eventually transformed into a human figure. Although it was very far away, Tony Stark inexplicably saw it with perfect clarity.

As Tony Stark saw this back, his heart was thrown into turmoil.

He was very familiar with this back. It was Harvey Anberaka, whom he had met before.

However, this Harvey Anberaka was somewhat different from the one he had interacted with.

This Harvey Anberaka walked through the cosmic galaxy with his hands behind his back, exuding a sense of unparalleled loneliness in the universe.

At the same time, Tony saw other unimaginably colossal monsters besides the mantis-like creature.

He saw a figure wearing a golden mask and a white cape, as vast as a galaxy. With a single step, it vanished into the void without a trace.

He saw a terrifying monster covered in barbs, as large as a galaxy, that swallowed a star in a single gulp.

He saw a vast and immense purple star, which upon closer inspection, was a giant purple eye, observing everything in the universe from the shadows.

He saw creatures in the void that directly carved out countless terrifying tunnels, emitting roars that shook the universe.

He also saw a giant humanoid creature wearing purple armor, seemingly looking down upon the river of time in the universe...

Each of the Void's different beings far surpassed Tony Stark's understanding of the world, leaving him speechless with shock.

And all these monsters eventually transformed into the same figure.

At this moment, Tony Stark felt his own insignificance, the greatness of the Void, and wondered about the Void's true will.
