I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

"My dream isn't that far away."

"What I really want is to live a peaceful yet warm and happy life with Steve, without having to worry about the military and all sorts of important matters."

Upon hearing this, Peggy's eyes, which had regained their clear and captivating beauty, revealed a hopeful look as she spoke softly.

She was the oldest person present. Although Steve was about the same age as her, he had been hidden away for decades.

She could be said to have lived a lifetime, witnessed all aspects of life, and experienced life and death.

Now that she's young again, Peggy no longer wants to dedicate her life to the military as she did in the past; she simply wants to live for herself.

She hopes Steve will stay by her side, that she won't have to worry about money, and that they will eventually have children of their own.

"Steve Rogers is not the kind of person who has the ability but then stands idly by while others are in danger."

"More than anything, it's a righteous character that's willing to protect and take action."

"So your dream might be a little too far away."

Pepper's eyes flashed upon hearing this, and she spoke up.

Tony is a futurist who often takes on a lot of heavy responsibilities.

Even though he promised himself to take a break, Tony's personality was such that he couldn't stay idle and was always on edge.

It often worried her, but it was precisely Tony's personality that attracted her.

“I know I had a great time on my honeymoon with Steve.”

"However, I can also see that Steve is eager to become stronger and uphold justice."

"Therefore, no matter what, there is always the possibility of encountering danger in the future."

"But now that he has greater power, he shouldn't be like before, where a separation would end with no one knowing whether he's alive or dead."

Peggy smiled slightly upon hearing this.

The addition of the Void made both of them much more open-minded.

Peggy's personality is such that she longs for an ordinary life, but because of her past as a top female agent.

Therefore, Peggy is also very serious, and after joining the Void, she has a clear plan for her own path of evolution.

It wasn't to help the military or anyone else; it was simply to be able to help Steve in the future.

When Steve is in danger, she no longer has to sit in the back and wait for news as she used to, but can go into battle with him.

"It seems you also believe that joining the Void Array is the greatest opportunity of your life."

Pepper smiled when she heard Peggy's words.

"Don't let my current appearance fool you, I'm already an old woman by ordinary standards."

"I was happy to meet Steve when I was dying, but I also felt a little regretful."

"Because I am too old to spend my life with my beloved."

"After joining the Void, I was able to regain my youth and have this opportunity again."

"So joining the Void was indeed my greatest opportunity, giving me a chance to be reborn."

"Unfortunately, I have only seen a picture of Lord Harvey and have not been able to meet him in person and express my gratitude."

"But Steve told me that we have a long future ahead of us and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Peggy smiled and said that.

"If you would like to thank me in person, there will definitely be an opportunity in the future."

Pepper smiled and nodded upon hearing this, and then spoke.

Tony used to frequently seek Mr. Harvey's help, so Mr. Harvey would visit Stark Estate from time to time.

However, with Tony joining the Void, he no longer dared to invite Mr. Harvey over as often as before.

Of course, this has something to do with Mr. Harvey often being on other planets in the universe.

However, after learning what kind of important person Mr. Harvey really was...

Even when they first met, they were very close, like good friends.

Mr. Harvey probably doesn't care whether they're bothering him or not.

However, since they are now all members of the Void God Cult, they will inevitably remain somewhat reserved.

Chapter 282 2014 years

Pepper and Peggy chatted all night.

Tony and Banner were explaining to Steve what had happened in Asgard not long ago.

Why didn't you call me when Asgard was in danger?

Steve listened to Tony and Banner's words with some disappointment.

"We didn't intentionally hide it from you."

"But considering that you were on your sweet honeymoon with Miss Peggy at the time."

"We don't know how long it will take to get to Asgard to defend against Malekith's invasion, so we didn't want to bother you."

Seeing Steve's disappointed look, Banner knew that Steve probably thought they looked down on him because he was weak, so he explained seriously.

"If I had really called you then, and waited for you to return from Europe."

"During those few hours of delay, Malekith had already invaded Asgard."

"As a result, the great war broke out as soon as we arrived in Asgard, before we even had a chance to settle in and before we had enough intelligence."

Tony glanced at Steve and spoke.

"Alright, if there's ever a war involving Earth in the future, be sure to call me."

Upon hearing Tony's words, Steve realized that some wars could break out very quickly.

Not every war is like the Battle of New York, where there is ample intelligence and time to prepare.

“I know you want to see other worlds and show off your power, but you don’t feel comfortable going to Asgard.”

"There were only three meals a day, so you could say you went hungry twice a day."

"It was a close call that Banner and I almost starved to death."

Tony spoke up upon hearing this.

"Only three meals a day? Is that terrifying?"

Upon hearing Tony's words, Steve's initial desire to uphold justice diminished considerably.

In the past, he wouldn't have cared how many meals he ate a day.

However, after joining the Void, in order to become stronger and catch up with Tony, who had already started, and Banner, who had a much higher starting point than him.

So Steve doesn't just eat five meals a day, he eats seven.

According to Tony's account of his life in Asgard over the past few days, he wouldn't be going hungry twice a day, but four times a day. Just thinking about it makes Steve feel horrified.

"However, it was also because of that journey to Asgard."

"If I ever go to fight in other parts of the world, I will definitely bring enough food."

Tony nodded upon hearing this and spoke.

The hospitality in Asgard was impeccable, with three meals a day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the food was very plentiful.

However, for the members of the Void God Cult, three meals a day were clearly not enough.

Although being hungry doesn't reduce their usual strength, the feeling of being hungry when they could eat more in a comfortable environment is very difficult to endure.

So even if Thor hadn't given them an immediate answer, agreeing to lend them the Reality Stone, the two would have made Thor send them back to Earth as soon as possible.

"How's the food on Xandar?"

Steve asked, somewhat curiously, after hearing Tony's words.

"The Void Cult's headquarters are on Xandar, so Xandar can be considered a home ground rather than an away ground."

"The food is even better than on Earth, with different delicacies from various planets."

"There are over a hundred top chefs alone, and there are different dishes every day, almost never the same one twice."

"Moreover, those delicacies provide more evolutionary energy, which can accelerate the evolutionary process."

"As for the environment..."

Upon hearing Steve's words, Tony immediately became interested and began to talk non-stop, but Steve interrupted him before he could finish.

"Tony, stop talking. If you keep going, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist the urge to go to space with you."

Steve, upon hearing that the daily meals would be different each time and could accelerate evolution, felt a surge of desire and quickly interrupted Tony.

"You don't need to worry, Void Island is currently in the development stage."

"It will get better and better in the future. When you go to the Void Island of the Void God Cult, you will be able to enjoy it."

Tony smiled and said upon hearing this.

The three talked all night, but neither Banner nor Tony explained the Reality Stone to Steve.

Because Steve is temporarily unable to work with them, and they haven't reached the stage of researching the Reality Stone yet.

Therefore, it's best to keep the news about the Reality Stone a secret.

After all, the best way to protect the Reality Stone is to keep the fewest people who know about it.

Tony, Pepper, Steve, Peggy, and Banner spent a delightful New Year on Tony's private island.

※※※※※※※

After the Lunar New Year, it was early February 2014.

Tony didn't stay on Earth long either, and after kissing Pepper goodbye, he left.

Tony then took Banner aboard a spaceship and headed to Xandar.

Banner was in a state of high excitement yet tension as he boarded the spaceship.
