"These three months should have made you understand that this is only the beginning of your new life, so there is no need for you to feel anxious."
"Setting foot into the universe with me and seeing different worlds together is only a matter of time."
Hearing Tony Stark's words and seeing that Tony Stark's gaze remained clear, Harvey felt much more at ease and replied with a smile.
Clearly, Tony Stark had kept Harvey's words firmly in mind over the past two months and had never considered directly devouring and absorbing living creatures.
Though his evolution was a little slower, the important thing was to proceed steadily. That way, he would not so easily lose himself in the abyss of desire.
"Watching myself grow younger by the day and feeling the power in my body grow stronger and stronger."
"I know this is a new beginning. While it makes me happy, it also makes me think of all the great figures in the world and the universe, and reflect on my own weakness."
Tony Stark smiled as he spoke.
"As long as you can adapt, that's good."
Harvey nodded slightly at his words.
"Harvey, when you go into the universe..."
"Could you bring back some special products from space for me?"
"Alien technology, or some special raw materials."
"As for payment, you can name your price then, or I can trade you some Stark Industries Shares."
"The more advanced the technology, the more valuable Stark Industries will become. You can also get the large amount of money you want."
After considering it for a moment, Tony made a suggestion.
If he could obtain alien technology or materials, they might inspire him and bring about a qualitative leap in technology.
That would allow him to prepare better for the crisis Earth was bound to face eight years from now.
He now firmly believed everything Harvey had told him, and Harvey had no reason to deceive him.
"I can travel back and forth to the universe whenever I want."
"So bringing you a few things shouldn't be a problem."
Harvey thought for a moment before speaking.
"That would be even better. Then I'll wait for your good news."
"While you're away, I'll have someone look after the various estates under your name."
"I guarantee that when you return, they'll be clean, tidy, and completely intact."
Upon hearing that Harvey could travel back and forth at any time, Tony Stark was not particularly surprised. He simply smiled.
"All right."
Though Harvey did not need it, he did not refuse and accepted the kindness.
"Miss Pepper, it's only been a little over two months, yet you've become more and more beautiful."
"No wonder Tony Stark specifically put in a good word for you."
Harvey then looked at Pepper and greeted her.
"Thank you for the compliment. I have to thank Mr. Harvey for being willing to give me this opportunity."
A faint blush appeared on Pepper's beautiful face as she replied politely.
From Tony, she had learned just how powerful Mr. Harvey Anberlaka truly was.
Tony had previously reminded her not to keep talking to herself regardless of the setting because she needed to be careful about her conduct in front of Mr. Harvey Anberlaka.
This included the possibility that more people or creatures might join the Void in the future.
Although they had been the first to join the Void, there was no guarantee that some existence in the universe would not become extremely powerful the moment they joined.
Therefore, they had to speak carefully and cautiously in front of outsiders. Otherwise, they might bring about unimaginable disaster.
Knowing that she had entered an extraordinary world beyond the restraints of law had changed Pepper's personality greatly.
"It seems you've adapted well too, so I'm relieved."
"All right, I'm preparing to take a walk through the universe. You two can take your time eating."
"If anything particularly unusual happens on Earth, Tony, leave me a message."
"I'll take a look when I return."
Seeing Pepper's demeanor, Harvey found it somewhat unbelievable, but he did not dwell on it. He said this to Tony.
Then, a Void Black Hole appeared beneath Harvey's feet, and his figure vanished directly.
"To be able to travel directly between Earth and the universe... Mr. Harvey Anberlaka's abilities are truly unimaginable."
After Mr. Harvey Anberlaka left, Pepper remarked with some emotion.
"Yes, but his abilities do not end there."
"We have only just stepped onto the path of evolution."
"As long as we don't aim too high and rush things, we'll gradually become stronger."
"Once we are truly strong, we'll head into the universe together and see the customs of various planets."
"We'll stroll through the endless stars together and see everything we once wanted to see but could not because of technology and ability."
Tony Stark's eyes flickered as he spoke.
He had seen those terrifying monsters. One of them had even been able to travel directly through the stars.
So he was not particularly surprised by the ability Harvey Anberlaka had displayed.
Still, the more he witnessed, the more clearly he realized how weak he currently was.
"All right."
Hearing Tony Stark's words, Pepper's beautiful eyes filled with longing.
※※※※※※
Harvey went directly to the moon and looked down upon the distant blue planet. The cold aura permeating the universe felt as comfortable to him as a gentle breeze.
Harvey had long possessed the ability to enter the universe with his physical body, but because he had no means of traveling to other alien planets, he had never taken the initiative to venture into space.
Now that he possessed the Void Walker ability, Void Descent, Harvey finally had the means to visit other planets.
Harvey also had a clear plan for this journey beyond Earth.
First, he would become a bounty hunter in the universe to earn money. Then, once he established the Void Cult and made its name widely known—
Other creatures would naturally come to him of their own accord, so there would be no need for him to search excessively.
And on second thought, he did not even need to go to Wakanda to steal vibranium.
On Earth, vibranium was an irreplaceable and scarce resource. But in the universe, it was merely difficult to obtain; that did not mean it could not be bought or found directly.
Harvey focused his mind, and his vision detached from what lay before him as he began overlooking the entire Milky Way Galaxy.
He needed to find a relatively advanced planet and acquire a universal translator first. Otherwise, he would be unable to act at all with the language barrier.
At that very moment, Ancient One of Earth's Kamar-Taj sensed something. She immediately rushed out of the house and looked upward in alarm.
She sensed a terrifying gaze in the unseen, looking down upon Earth.
Ancient One brushed both hands across her eyes, causing them to emit golden light as she tried to see what kind of existence was spying on her.
Yet even when Ancient One's gaze extended beyond Earth, she could not see what that existence truly was.
※※※※※※
Meanwhile, in Asgard, the divine realm among the Nine Realms.
Heimdall stood before the Bifrost, his golden eyes seeing across infinite distances as he overlooked the Nine Realms.
But he suddenly sensed a terrifying gaze looking down upon him.
This was the first time Heimdall had ever experienced such a feeling.
So Heimdall tried to trace it back to its source. Yet when his golden eyes lit up and he attempted to see through everything—
Everything within his sight turned into an empty, void-like darkness. And within that boundless darkness was a terrifying purple-black dark star.
In all his years of life, this was the first time Heimdall had ever seen such a terrifying star.
He did not know where this dark star had come from, but he knew that God King Odin must have also sensed that an unknown existence was watching him.
Just as Heimdall had expected, an elderly white-haired man was drinking in the temple.
Then, a mysterious gaze suddenly began looking down upon Asgard.
"Who is so bold as to spy on Asgard?!"
Odin flung away the wine cup in his hand, rose to his feet, and was enveloped in golden light as armor covered his body. He let out a furious roar.
But there was no response. That feeling of being watched had already disappeared.
Some Asgardian soldiers were startled when they saw their king suddenly roar. They immediately formed up and hurried outside the palace.
However, all they saw was the grave expression on God King Odin's face. They did not discover any enemies or any unusual aura approaching.
None of them had any idea what had happened. They wanted to ask, but did not dare.
