Welcome to the Void

As Tony Stark was in shock, his body also underwent changes at this moment. Purple Void Power was altering his very essence of life.

"Detected host-persuaded entity as Tony Stark, possessing a high destiny. Rewarded with one hundred thousand Void Energy."

"The more times Tony Stark evolves subsequently, the more Void Energy the host will be rewarded."

"Host has successfully persuaded the first entity to join the Void. The selection of a second Hero Template is now open. Host, please choose the opportune moment for selection."

Upon hearing that a Hero Template had been unlocked, Harvey's face broke into a genuine smile.

As long as he could obtain different Hero Templates, his strength would undergo a qualitative leap.

However, it was clearly not the time to choose yet, so Harvey wasn't in a hurry.

Meanwhile, at Kamar-Taj.

The Ancient One gazed at the future of this universe with a face full of worry.

Previously, she could still see the future of the universe, but since about half a year ago.

Something had happened in the river of time, and the future of the universe was shrouded in a mysterious darkness.

This was clearly an ominous sign, so she had been searching for the source, but had found nothing for over half a year.

All she could see was the entire universe shrouded beneath a Dark Star as vast as a galaxy.

To think that she couldn't see through the river of time – something even Dormammu couldn't accomplish.

This indicated that something immeasurable was happening in this universe.

The Ancient One wanted to investigate and prevent it, but she was powerless.

"Stephen Strange… I hope you can stop it in the future."

The Ancient One could only place her hope on her future disciple, whose talent surpassed her own, whispering with a sense of prayer.

No matter what happened in the future, she had to wait for the arrival of the future Sorcerer Supreme, Stephen Strange.

Time passed, and when Tony Stark finally came to his senses.

"Tony Stark, do you understand what the Void is now?"

Seeing Tony Stark open his eyes, Harvey smiled.

Tony Stark looked at the friendly Harvey Anberaka before him, feeling it was somewhat unreal.

"Although I don't quite understand yet, I know the greatness of the Void."

However, Tony Stark still nodded and said.

"Welcome to the Void."

Upon hearing this response, Harvey's face showed a sincere smile, and he extended his hand.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Tony Stark paused upon hearing this and then extended his hand, saying gratefully.

Having witnessed the monsters Harvey Anberaka had transformed into, Tony Stark now faced this opportunity with nothing but reverence and gratitude in his heart.

Although Harvey Anberaka said the Void was a place, a race, a dimension.

After witnessing the scene just now, Tony Stark's understanding was that Harvey Anberaka was the Void itself.

The Harvey Anberaka before him would undoubtedly become the most terrifying will and existence of the Void in the future.

His thoughts were indeed correct; no matter how he improved the Iron Man armor, he couldn't become an enemy of Harvey Anberaka.

Joining the Void might just be the most correct decision he would make in his life.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like to be an enemy of Harvey Anberaka, nor did he want to become his enemy.

The current Harvey Anberaka had not yet become the invincible being that surveyed the universe.

However, he now fully understood why Harvey Anberaka had said earlier that he couldn't reach Harvey Anberaka's level.

"This is just a small favor."

"Now that you've joined the Void, I'll tell you what the essence of the Void is."

"The essence of the Void is survival, evolution, and adaptation."

"You now possess the ability to evolve by devouring creatures and matter."

"As long as you continue to devour and evolve, your power will exceed your imagination."

"Take this chance to truly feel your current, weaker self."

"It won't be long before your mindset changes along with your power."

Harvey released his hand and began to explain some things while looking at Tony Stark.

"Didn't you say that was the price?"

Tony Stark asked in surprise upon hearing that evolution required consumption.

"That is indeed the price, because what you devour isn't just food; you can devour living beings as well."

"And by devouring creatures of greater power, you will achieve faster and stronger evolution."

"So you must remember, never let that hunger control you, lest you become a mindless monster that only knows how to devour and evolve."

"If you are consumed by hunger and cause too much trouble, I will personally kill you."

"I hope I never have to see you like that."

Harvey warned earnestly.

"Okay, I'll be careful."

Tony Stark's heart tightened upon hearing these admonishments and warnings, and he nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tony Stark felt a sense of hunger surge within him. This hunger stemmed from his body's instincts and didn't make him feel weak.

Tony Stark immediately looked at the various foods placed on the dining table.

With his mind highly focused, Tony Stark noticed that the surfaces of these foods had varying colors of energy on them.

Tony Stark found that the world before his eyes had changed. He turned to look at Harvey Anberaka.

However, he didn't see any energy emanating from Harvey Anberaka. He didn't know if it was due to the vast difference in strength or if Harvey Anberaka was simply hiding it very well.

Tony Stark didn't dwell on it and immediately picked up the food and started eating.

Before, these foods were merely delicious and filling. But now, as he ate, Tony Stark felt a warm current begin to fill his body.

However, Tony Stark had only eaten for less than two minutes before consuming over a dozen dishes. This amount of food far exceeded his previous capacity.

Tony Stark's body also began to undergo some changes. His brown hair became more vibrant, and his appearance started to look younger.

"System, in what direction will Tony Stark evolve?"

Harvey observed Tony Stark with great interest.

"Unlike other beings who have joined the Void, they do not possess a Hero Template."

"Therefore, other beings will initially only evolve their physical abilities. The ultimate outcome of their evolution remains an unknown."

The system rarely responded, but it did provide an answer to this question.

"Meaning they need to evolve and learn to master certain abilities themselves to truly become powerful?"

Harvey asked thoughtfully. However, the system did not provide an answer to Harvey's question.

After some thought, Harvey understood the principle, considering the Hero Template and Hero Origin.

He could directly obtain a Hero Template, master certain abilities, and had a clear evolutionary path.

For someone like Tony Stark, who lacked a Hero Template, everything would depend on his own evolution and exploration.

However, as long as Tony Stark didn't succumb to his desires and maintained his rationality.

With his extended lifespan and a body that would undoubtedly be able to traverse the universe in the future, it wouldn't be difficult for Tony Stark to learn and master more extraordinary abilities.

It would just take more time and effort to acquire powerful strength.

Even without a Hero Template, being able to join the Void and gain terrifying evolutionary capabilities and a long lifespan was already an immense blessing.
