I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

"So you need to find a new element to replace palladium as soon as possible."

"You might not have heard me because you were thinking."

"Based on my intuition, what Mr. Harvey Ambellaca meant just now was that we either need to find a new element or give up piloting the Iron Man suit."

"If you get poisoned again next time and can't find a solution, you're going to be the death of you."

Jarvis relayed what Harvey had just said.

"Before I knew I was getting younger, I did think about getting palladium poisoning and asking Harvey Ambellaca for help."

"But after I found out I was younger, I stopped thinking about it that way."

Tony Stark smiled slightly upon hearing this.

One helps to cure the disease, while the other helps to cure it and also makes him look a few years younger. These are completely different things.

He is now six years younger, and his body is roughly equivalent to his 32-year-old self, though he is also over 30 and in middle age.

Now that the wrinkles are gone, he looks much younger, and people will just think he takes good care of himself or has had some surgery.

But if he were a few years younger, back to his twenties, then no matter how he explained it, others would think there was something wrong with him.

Putting aside the possibility that this might expose Harvey Ambellaca's superpowers, he himself might be kidnapped and used as a guinea pig.

Although he has a steel armor, he is not invincible. If he is targeted by the military, he is not entirely confident that he can keep himself safe.

Therefore, Tony Stark completely understands Harvey Ambella's reluctance to offer too many words of support.

Tony Stark then left the underground research lab.

When faced with Pepper's various curious questions, Tony Stark would offer some explanations and others just give perfunctory answers.

Pepper was most curious about his transformation into a younger man, a fact that Tony Stark could only insist he didn't know either.

This disappointed Pepper somewhat, since no woman doesn't love beauty and doesn't want to look younger.

Tony Stark, however, seemed genuinely unaware.

So Pepper thought about it and could only say that Tony had met a friend he could talk to, which made him feel good and temporarily made him look younger.

Chapter 28 Invitation for the New Year

Harvey drove home and ordered a bunch of takeout to be delivered to his estate.

He's done what he needed to do; now he just has to wait for Tony Stark to come to him.

Aside from Tony Stark, there aren't many people who can be won over at this stage and whose destiny is strong enough.

If Bruce Banner, the Hulk, is recruited, he should be able to gain a significant amount of Void Energy.

Bruce Banner is still hiding from XZ, afraid to face the Hulk power within him.

Instead of trying to control their immense power, they want to destroy it.

He will make Bruce Banner realize just how mediocre this idea is, but now is not the time to look for the Hulk.

Abomination is a good target; his potential and strength are not as good as the Hulk's, but he's still quite strong.

Harvey didn't know where Abomination had been imprisoned, so he couldn't find him.

Asking General Ross directly might yield an answer, but he can't afford to be too high-profile right now.

Nine years later, before the arrival of the Purple Potato Spirit, if he had evolved more than a thousand times and obtained other hero templates, he could have directly confronted Thanos head-on.

Moreover, once he obtains the Voidwalker Kassadin champion template, his range of activities will no longer be limited to Earth.

Instead, he will roam freely among various planets, where he can not only establish the Void God Cult, but also hunt down all sorts of monsters in the universe.

By absorbing the life energy of those monsters, he will definitely have more evolution points to evolve, and he may evolve far more than a thousand times.

If we could get him the hero essence of Dark Star Voidreaver, and combine it with other hero templates...

Harvey was confident that even if he couldn't defeat the Celestials, he had absolutely no need to worry about them posing a threat to his life.

It's 2008 now, and there are two months left until 2009.

The explosion of various superheroes occurred after the Battle of New York in 2012.

His evolution efficiency and the speed at which he acquires void energy will not decrease with more repetitions.

On the contrary, the more times he evolves and the stronger he becomes, the faster he will become.

Thinking of this, Harvey smiled as he played the game.

※※※※※※※

After Harvey treated Tony and guided him through the process.

Tony Stark has temporarily stopped his daily deadly dunks and constant harassment of Harvey.

Tony Stark handed the company over to Pepper, and aside from a few major decisions requiring his signature, he devoted the rest of his time to research.

His conversation with Harvey Ambellaca opened his eyes to a wider world.

Furthermore, Tony Stark's current physical condition is much younger and more energetic, which has greatly accelerated the pace of research and development.

The Mark series didn't just stop at the fourth and fifth generations; in just two months, it evolved directly to the Mark 17, with significantly enhanced performance.

Furthermore, since the shrapnel inside Tony Stark disappeared, he no longer needs to wear the Arc Reactor.

He only needed to wear it when testing the new Iron Man armor, so the rate at which Tony Stark was poisoned by palladium was greatly slowed down.

This also meant that Tony Stark didn't experience the despair that comes with impending death.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and the American New Year arrived, with the whole country in a festive atmosphere.

On this day, Tony Stark also contacted Harvey directly, wanting to spend the New Year with this person who had been very kind to him and was considered a friend.

“Sir, Mr. Harvey Ambella rejected the call in less than two seconds.”

Tony Stark had assumed that after the last time, he wouldn't be rejected when he tried to contact Harvey Ambellaca, but after hearing Jarvis's words, he couldn't help but swear.

"Damn, this guy is as hard to contact as ever."

"Sir, the other party probably thinks that you're contacting him because you need something from him again, which is why he refused."

Jarvis, hearing this, spoke from Harvey's perspective.

“Jarvis, I never expected to hear such cold and realistic words from you.”

Tony Stark said with some sadness after hearing Jarvis's words.

"So, should we continue to keep in touch?"

After hearing this, Jarvis asked a question.

"No need, I'll go find him myself. You can have someone prepare lunch for me."

After hearing this, Tony Stark gave him some instructions and then drove off on his own.

Harvey Ambellaca most often lives in affluent residential areas of Brooklyn.

That location wasn't far from his Stark Estate, so it wasn't difficult to find it.

In just over half an hour, Tony Stark arrived at a luxurious estate covering thousands of square meters.

Tony Stark got out of the car and rang the doorbell.

Harvey pressed a button to project the view from the doorway onto the wall, and upon discovering that it was Tony Stark, he opened the door.

"This guy really goes too far when he gets extravagant."

Tony Stark drove in, looked around at the layout, and muttered to himself.

His Stark Estate was already very luxurious, but the truly valuable things were underground; there weren't that many extravagant and useless items.

But Harvey's estate looked like it was full of valuable items, and it was much larger than his Stark Estate.

Tony Stark had investigated Harvey, so he didn't even need Harvey's directions; he simply followed the corridor to a lavishly decorated mansion.

Harvey had already opened the door and was waiting for him.

"Why aren't you at home celebrating the New Year with Pepper? What brings you here specifically to see me?"

Before Tony Stark could even offer a friendly greeting, Harvey's words were heard.

"I figured you'd be spending the New Year alone, so I thought I'd ask you to hang out with me."

Tony Stark looked at Harvey, who was dressed in his pajamas, without any embarrassment, and said with a smile.

"Don't give me that. Given your personality, this doesn't count as a reason to come to me."

"Just tell me directly, what do you want from me?"

Harvey waved his hand, clearly not believing it.

"You guessed it, but I've already asked Jarvis to prepare lunch. Shall we talk at my place?"

Tony Stark paused for a moment upon hearing this before speaking.

He completely forgot his earlier statement that he would never ask Harvey Ambellaca for help.

"If you ask Jarvis to add two more dishes to my beef feast, I'll come over to your house for a visit."

"I eat more than usual during Chinese New Year."

Harvey spoke after hearing Tony Stark's words.

"Don't even mention two cows, even ten cows wouldn't be a problem."

Tony Stark immediately agreed.

"Okay, I'll change my clothes, wait for me a moment."

Harvey nodded and closed the door.

A few minutes later, Harvey came out, now dressed in an elegant suit, exuding grace and handsomeness.

At home, he can wear whatever he wants, but when he goes out, he still needs to wear clothes that are appropriate for his status.

Harvey opened his garage and, after some thought, chose the understated and practical silver BMW.

"No wonder so many young, wealthy women in New York want to invite you to their parties."

"Your presentation is quite impressive, it has the style of mine when I was young."
