Chapter 45: The Void Walker

A few minutes had passed, and Pepper's body was gently lying on the ground.

"Oh my God!"

When Pepper opened her eyes, she trembled and suddenly woke up with a start, exclaiming loudly.

"Pepper, what did you see?"

Tony asked urgently as soon as he noticed Pepper waking up.

"I saw colossal beings beyond imagination."

"In their presence, I felt utterly insignificant."

"I felt smaller than even an ant."

Pepper's face was pale, her voice filled with awe.

"Those are manifestations of the Void's will."

"It also represents the ultimate form we can attain by joining the Void."

"So there's no need for you to be afraid."

Tony quickly reassured Pepper, who was drenched in cold sweat from the shock.

"You mean, I'll become one of those colossal beings?"

Pepper's face grew even paler at the thought.

"You only saw those gigantic beings?"

Tony's eyes flashed as he asked with concern.

"Yes, I saw terrifying monsters larger than planets."

Pepper nodded, even though she found it strange.

"Don't worry. Trust me, that might be the most primitive form of ultimate evolution."

"Using the power, you can take on a human form."

Tony spoke with a flicker of reassurance, his mind racing with thoughts.

"Is there any food?"

Though Pepper had been frightened, her growing hunger made her look at Tony and ask.

"I had some prepared earlier; it should be arriving soon."

"And I still have more to explain to you."

"You don't need to worry or be afraid."

"I'm here with you."

Tony wasn't surprised that Pepper was already feeling hungry.

"Alright."

Pepper nodded slightly, comforted by Tony's reassuring words.

On the other side.

Harvey Amberlock had returned home after driving back.

He had just received a system notification that someone wanted to learn about and join the Void.

Harvey didn't need to think twice; he knew Tony had convinced Pepper, so he agreed immediately.

Pepper's joining only gave him 5,000 Void Energy, which was twenty times less than what Tony Stark's joining had provided.

However, having Pepper join was worth it because it would ensure Tony Stark's full acceptance of the Void.

Harvey, however, had more pressing matters to attend to.

He changed into loose, comfortable homeware and then went to the underground training facility.

Harvey opened the Hero Template and saw that he had one selection opportunity.

Previously, he had thought that if given a second chance, he would choose the Void Fears Kog'Maw because of its terrifying dual-layer evolution capabilities.

With enough evolution, Kog'Maw's survival ability could be vastly enhanced.

Even if he didn't fully grow, as long as he didn't provoke cosmic deities, no enemy could threaten his life.

But now, knowing that spreading the Void's will to more people would grant him more chances to choose hero templates, his best choice was clear: the Void Walker Kassadin's power.

With the Void Walker Kassadin's Void Walking ability, he could traverse the cosmos and establish the Void Church.

On Blue Planet, some powerful figures were in control, but there was nothing to fear in the rest of the universe, except for the Nine Realms.

Even Thanos didn't worry him at this stage.

Rather than fearing Thanos, he was more concerned about whoever collected all six Infinity Stones.

At the moment, Thanos hadn't gathered all six Stones, so there was no need to worry.

In the universe, even aside from certain fated individuals, many races possessed inherently stronger powers, which could replace the importance of fate with accumulated strength.

As long as he evolved quickly, there was nothing to fear.

So, Harvey looked at the Void Walker Kassadin's hero template and chose it without hesitation.

"Confirming whether to acquire the Void Walker Kassadin's hero template. This choice is final and cannot be changed."

The system's voice echoed in Harvey's mind.

Perhaps due to the rarity and value of the hero template choices, the system had asked this before.

"Confirm."

Harvey had already made up his mind, so he confirmed.

At the moment of confirmation, a deep and arrogant voice echoed in Harvey's mind.

"Few can traverse between different worlds." —Kassadin

As the words resonated, Harvey's mind flooded with unfamiliar knowledge.

It was a profound and mysterious magic knowledge, along with the utilization of Void Energy.

Simultaneously, a deep purple stone appeared in the Void and fused directly into Harvey's body.

Harvey closed his eyes, standing still as time slowly passed into the night.

When he opened his eyes again, his black pupils had become deeper, with hints of gold.

The world around him now revealed many previously imperceptible purple energies.

Harvey noticed the world had changed drastically, as he pondered the magical knowledge in his mind.

He extended his right hand, and a purple Void Blade appeared. The space around the blade twisted and looked incredibly frightening.

At the same time, with a thought, Harvey levitated, and purple-black orbs of magic energy began to orbit around him.

Under the reflection of the purple light, Harvey's aura became somewhat sinister and eerie.

He no longer needed to evolve his flight ability; merely using the magic energy drifting in the Void allowed him to fly.

Harvey closed his eyes, and although he was in the basement, his vision expanded, seeing through matter as if he were gazing from above.

With a single step, he created a Void rift beneath him and transformed into a purple light, disappearing.

In the next moment, Harvey appeared in the lobby on the first floor.

"An ultimate pursuit of the physical, and an ultimate pursuit of magic."

"Before the body truly matures, magic is indeed the real master."

Harvey couldn't help but feel a sense of reflection as he realized he had instantly traversed through walls to reach the first floor.
