Chapter 191: Mutual Introductions

Soon, a figure clad in Iron Man armor soared out of the transport ship that Kael had mentioned, appearing before the group in mere seconds.

"Tony, your suit is as impressive as ever," Reno remarked with a grin as he observed Tony's rapid flight.

"This is just one of my suits; I have others," Tony replied with a chuckle. "You'll get to see them when the opportunity arises."

"Tony, long time no see!" Kael exclaimed as he opened his arms for a hug.

"It's been a while. I appreciate you all coming to help," Tony said, returning the embrace and giving Kael a light pat on the back before stepping back.

"Now that we're here, why aren't you taking off your helmet?" Leicy asked, noticing Tony hadn't removed it as he usually did.

"This is Earth, my homeland. Not many know my true identity," Tony explained. "So please be careful; don't let anything slip."

"Got it; no worries," Leicy responded, her eyes glinting as she quickly understood.

"So, that transport ship is one of your weapons against the Chitauri?"

"Honestly, that thing would probably get obliterated by a single volley from the Chitauri. It looks good but isn't very useful," the Seer commented, eyeing the aircraft carrier that had now come into view.

"That ship is primarily for transporting personnel and relaying information; it wouldn't be involved in direct combat," Tony clarified. "Come on, let's head up. I have a few people I want you to meet."

"By the way, I'm hoping to recruit one of them into the Void Sect," Tony added, glancing back at them.

"Just so you know, the Void Sect's vetting process is getting stricter. It's becoming increasingly difficult to join," Reno cautioned. "So even if you want to bring someone in, you can't break the rules."

"Do you take me for someone who doesn't know the rules? Of course, I'm aware," Tony said, though he didn't mention that Banner was the one Harvey specifically had in mind for the Void Sect.

"I'll have them come down," he said.

"No need; we can fly up," Kael replied.

In the next moment, they surrounded themselves with purple void energy and soared into the air.

"You can fly?" Tony exclaimed, eyes wide with surprise.

"Long ago, we mastered it," Kael replied. "It's a technique called 'Glide' that Miss Sonya taught us."

"Once a member of the Void Sect for a year and without any major mistakes, you're eligible to learn," Kael continued. "You've been gone a while, so it's understandable that you might not know. I'll make sure to teach you when we have a chance."

Tony nodded, noting that it was Sonya who had taught them. Although he could fly in his Iron Man suit, being able to fly without it would reduce his weaknesses. However, he also wondered if Harvey had given Sonya some special instruction.

The group flew toward the aircraft carrier together.

The Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel inside the carrier couldn't hear what Tony and his friends were saying. Still, when they saw the newcomers flying directly up, it stirred a reaction among them.

As they entered the control room, the male agents couldn't help but notice Leicy, with her tall, voluptuous figure, stunning beauty, and an alluring charm that emanated from her.

Natasha felt a pang of comparison but quickly dismissed it. Leicy's innate allure seemed to suggest she was well aware of how to handle men.

If she were to flirt, there wouldn't be many men able to resist.

"I'd like to introduce you all," Tony began. "This silver-haired gentleman is Reno, a supersonic powerhouse with extraordinary strength."

"Greetings, I'm Thor, the God of Thunder," Thor said, smiling as he extended his hand to Reno.

"Nice to meet you, Thor," Reno replied politely, momentarily surprised but quickly recovering.

"Thank you for coming to help," he added, a bit more warmly.

Thor beamed at the acknowledgment, his smile broadening.

"This towering figure is Kael, blessed with immense strength," Tony continued with his introductions.

"How strong is 'immense strength'?" Thor asked, glancing at Kael, who stood like a small giant.

Kael shook Thor's hand, grinning. "I've heard of the Asgardian gods. We might get a chance to spar sometime."

"Not many can match me in a contest of pure strength," Thor responded confidently.

"Looks like I can look forward to that," Kael replied with a nod.

"And this is the Seer; true to his name, he can foresee events before they happen," Tony added.

These were his friends, not Earthlings nor Asgardians obliged to protect Earth, so he merely provided an overview of their abilities.

Regarding their more specific skills, Tony knew little, as much of the training on Void Island involved refining control over their powers in a more casual setting.

"Hello," the Seer said as Thor turned to him, noting the gray cloak and bandages wrapped around him.

"Nice to meet you," the Seer replied, shaking Thor's hand.

"May I ask a question?" Loki interjected, eyeing the Seer curiously. "Why are you wrapped in all those bandages covered in magical seals? What happens if you take them off?"

The Seer glanced at Loki but said nothing in response.
