"These past three months should have made it clear to you that this is just the beginning of your new life, so there's no need to feel rushed at all."

"It's only a matter of time before we embark on a journey through the universe together and witness different worlds."

Harvey felt a sense of relief upon hearing Tony Stark's words and seeing the clarity in his eyes. He smiled and replied.

Clearly, Tony Stark had taken his advice to heart over the past two months and had never once considered directly devouring and absorbing living beings.

While his evolutionary speed might have been a bit slow, it was steady and solid, preventing him from easily getting lost in the abyss of desire.

"Watching my appearance grow younger day by day, feeling the power within me strengthen."

"I know this is a new beginning. While it makes me happy, it also reminds me of all the powerful figures across the world and the universe, making me feel my own weakness."

Tony Stark also said with a smile.

"I'm glad you can adapt."

Harvey nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Harvey, when you go to the universe..."

"Could you perhaps bring me some special products from the cosmos?"

"Like alien technology or some unique raw materials."

"As for compensation, you can name your price, or I can offer you some Stark Industries shares in exchange."

"The higher the technology, the greater the value of Stark Industries, and you'll also get the vast sums of money you desire."

Tony considered for a moment before making a suggestion.

If he could obtain alien technology or materials, it might provide him with some inspiration, leading to a qualitative leap in his technological advancements.

This would allow him to better prepare for the crisis that Earth would inevitably face in eight years.

He now believed every word Harvey had told him, and Harvey had no reason to deceive him.

"I can travel to the universe and return at any time."

"So bringing you something shouldn't be a problem,"

Harvey said after a moment of thought.

"That's even better. Then I'll eagerly await your good news."

"While you're away, I'll have people look after your various manors for you."

"I'll ensure they're clean, tidy, and intact when you return."

Tony Stark wasn't particularly surprised to hear that Harvey could travel back and forth freely. A smile appeared on his face.

"Okay."

Although Harvey didn't need it, he didn't refuse and accepted the kind offer.

"Miss Pepper, it's been over two months, and you've become even more beautiful."

"No wonder Tony Stark specifically put in a good word for you."

Then, Harvey greeted Pepper.

"Thank you for the compliment. It's all thanks to Mr. Harvey for giving me this opportunity."

Pepper replied politely, a faint blush appearing on her beautiful face.

From Tony, she had learned just how powerful Mr. Harvey Anberaka was.

Tony had previously warned her not to talk to herself or disregard the occasion, precisely because she needed to be mindful of her behavior in front of Harvey Anberaka.

This also included the possibility of more people or beings joining the Void in the future.

Although they were the first to join the Void, there might be powerful beings in the universe who became incredibly strong the moment they joined.

Therefore, in front of outsiders, one must speak carefully and cautiously, or face unimaginable disasters.

Knowing that she had stepped into a world of the extraordinary, unbound by laws, had significantly changed Pepper's personality.

"It seems you've adapted well, which puts my mind at ease."

"Alright, I'm preparing to head out into the universe. You two enjoy your meal."

"If anything particularly unusual happens on Earth, Tony, leave me a message."

"I'll check it when I get back."

Harvey found Pepper's demeanor somewhat incredible but didn't dwell on it too much. He said this to Tony.

Afterward, a void black hole appeared beneath Harvey's feet, and he vanished.

"To be able to travel between Earth and the universe at will, Mr. Harvey Anberaka's abilities are truly beyond imagination."

After Harvey Anberaka left, Pepper said with some emotion.

"Indeed, but his abilities go even further than that."

"We've only just begun our journey of evolution."

"As long as we don't get ahead of ourselves and take it step by step, we'll eventually become powerful."

"Once I'm truly powerful, we'll go explore the universe together and see the customs and traditions of various planets."

"We'll wander through the vast starry river, seeing all the things I've wanted to see but couldn't due to limitations in technology and ability."

Tony Stark's eyes flickered upon hearing this, and he spoke.

He had witnessed terrifying monsters, one of which could travel directly through the star rivers.

Therefore, he wasn't particularly surprised by the ability Harvey Anberaka displayed.

The more he witnessed, the more he realized his own current weakness.

"Okay."

Pepper's beautiful eyes filled with longing as she heard Tony Stark's words.

Harvey directly arrived on the Moon, looking down at the distant, azure planet. The cold, pervasive aura of the universe felt like a gentle breeze to Harvey.

Harvey had long possessed the ability to travel through the universe with his physical body, but lacking the means to reach other planets, he had never actively ventured into space.

Now, possessing the Void Walker's Void Descent ability, Harvey finally had the means to visit other planets.

Harvey had a clear plan for this interstellar journey.

First, he would earn money as a cosmic bounty hunter, and then, once the Void Cult gained renown.

Other beings would naturally come to him; he wouldn't need to search extensively.

Moreover, upon further thought, he didn't even need to go to Wakanda to snatch Vibranium.

On Earth, Vibranium was a scarce, unreproducible resource. However, in the universe, Vibranium was at most difficult to obtain, not impossible to buy or find directly.

Harvey concentrated, his vision extending beyond his immediate surroundings as he began to survey the entire Milky Way Galaxy.

He needed to find a relatively developed planet to get a universal translator first; without it, communication would be impossible.

At that very moment, the Ancient One in Kamar-Taj on Earth sensed something. She immediately rushed out of her house, looking up with a sense of dread.

She felt a terrifying gaze from somewhere in the void, overlooking Earth.

The Ancient One rubbed her eyes, which then emitted a golden light, attempting to see what entity was spying on her.

However, her vision could only extend beyond Earth; she couldn't discern the nature of the entity.

Meanwhile, in the Nine Realms, within the divine realm of Asgard.

Heimdall, standing before the Bifrost, his golden eyes piercing through infinite distances as he surveyed the Nine Realms.

Suddenly, he felt a terrifying gaze looking down at him.

This was a sensation Heimdall had never experienced before.

So, Heimdall tried to trace the source, but as his golden eyes glowed, attempting to perceive everything, everything in his vision turned into a vast, empty, dark void. And within this boundless darkness, there was a terrifying, purplish-black dark star.

Having lived for so many years, Heimdall had never seen such a terrifying celestial body.

He didn't know the origin of this dark star, but he knew that God King Odin must have also sensed being spied upon by an unknown entity.

Just as Heimdall suspected, an old, white-haired man was drinking in the temple.

Suddenly, an inexplicable gaze was surveying Asgard.

"Who dares to pry into Asgard with such audacity?!"

Odin threw the wine goblet in his hand, stood up, his body enveloped in golden light as he donned his armor, and let out a roar.

But there was no response; the feeling of being spied upon had already vanished.

Some Asgardian soldiers, startled by their king's sudden outburst, quickly snapped to attention and lined up outside the palace.

However, they only saw the solemn expression on God King Odin's face, without detecting any enemies or unusual auras.

They had no idea what had happened and dared not ask.
