I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

For Thor, eating is for evolution, so he doesn't feel bad about consuming as much as he wants.

Chapter 442 I will prove you were right

It's worth noting that the average salary on Xandar is only a few hundred thousand a year, which isn't even enough for a member of the Void Cult to eat for half a month.

This doesn't even include the cost of hosting a grand banquet. If you were to host a banquet for everyone, it would cost tens of millions or even a hundred million in just one week.

So unless you have some family wealth, a lavish banquet can completely drain a person's savings and even leave them in debt.

Although it's possible to offer credit if you talk to the cafeteria, wouldn't it be embarrassing to do that?

Otherwise, Tony wouldn't have earned the title of "Millionaire"; he truly doesn't value money.

Whenever I'm in a good mood, I'll treat everyone to a feast. Who wouldn't like that?

Of course, this is what many members of their Void God Cult are looking for.

For a normal person with a normal appetite, the daily expenses here aren't that high; a few hundred cosmic coins a day are more than enough.

Regardless, Thor and Loki decided that they were definitely going to this prestigious hotel.

People always need to experience things they've never experienced before.

※※※※※※※

After saying goodbye to Banner, Thor, and Loki, Tony headed straight for the mountaintop villa.

When Tony met Kassadin, he saw that desserts and drinks had already been prepared for him on the table.

"Mr. Tony, please take a seat."

When Sonia saw Tony arrive, a smile appeared on her face, and she uttered a melodious voice.

"Thank you, Miss Sonia."

Tony looked at Sonia, who was sitting to one side next to Kassadin, and nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

"Once the sub-light speed thruster engine is developed, you should also start preparing for the construction of Blue Star, right?"

Harvey smiled and said when he saw Tony arrive.

"I've already made that plan, but I want to rest for a while before that."

"And I want to see the first spaceship that Banner and I have developed built first."

"Only then can I return to Earth with peace of mind and busy myself with all sorts of trivial matters."

"So I'll probably stay on Void Island for a while longer."

After taking a sip of his drink, Tony leaned back on the soft sofa, a look of emotion on his face.

This is also why he told Pepper and Steve that he wouldn't go back for the time being.

The day you witness the birth of your own spaceship is also a day worth commemorating.

"These past few years have been tough."

Harvey saw Tony's expression and spoke up.

In recent years, Tony has either been diligently researching cutting-edge technology for the Void God Cult or protecting Earth.

Although Harvey specifically warned them about the several major disasters that Earth faced, it was Tony who found ways to protect it.

Only a few times are times when Tony can take a break and relax without feeling guilty.

The research on cutting-edge technology can finally come to an end, but Tony will only get some rest at most.

Next, Tony needs to find a way to unify Earth and make it a human union, and then lead Earth into the interstellar age.

These interactions with countless people might make Tony even more stressed than his current research.

"I am already very happy to receive Ms. Sonia's thanks."

"But I didn't expect to hear you say those words yourself. It made me even happier."

Tony was taken aback when Kassadin said those words to him, then a smile appeared on his face.

He told Steve and Banner about his vision of the future.

Whether the journey to achieve his dream was arduous or not was not within Tony's consideration.

However, Sonia and Kassadin's affirmation made him realize that there were still people who knew about the difficulties he had encountered on his path to greatness.

As people gain a deeper understanding of Kassadin's identity, they also gain a better grasp of his abilities.

Kassadin's words show that he still considers him a friend, but Tony himself has already developed some distance from Kassadin.

This estrangement wasn't due to a conflict between him and Kassadin, but rather a natural distancing caused by the difference in their abilities.

He was acutely aware that there was an insurmountable gap between Kassadin and his own strength.

Kassadin could probably kill him without even needing any special methods; a single breath would be enough to kill him.

Faced with such a vast difference in strength, Tony naturally felt somewhat restrained when facing Kassadin, even though he wanted to relax completely.

Unless his strength grows to the pinnacle of the universe, and he is no longer so weak.

Perhaps only then will he be able to fully accept the goodwill and friendship that Kassadin has shown.

It's completely impossible for him to revert to the way he interacted with Harvey in 2008.

Confidence always stems from ability or a certain talent.

Harvey was pleased to see Tony, and involuntarily sat up straight.

Harvey also realized that Tony had become distant from him, and he completely removed the Kassadin armor and mask from his body.

"Of course, I've been watching you."

"Knowing your ideals and beliefs, and also knowing the efforts you have made for those ideals."

Harvey's clothes changed, and he started wearing loungewear. He looked at Tony with a complicated expression and spoke.

Come to think of it, it had been a while since Tony had called him Harvey by his first name.

Harvey had previously thought it was simply because Tony had been staying on the island.

However, back when there were only people from the Nine Realms, Tony would still occasionally call him by his real name, Harvey.

Now, Tony's impression of Kassadin completely overshadows any impression Harvey had of him.

But now it seems that he still considers Tony a friend, and as long as Tony doesn't break the rules, Harvey will support whatever Tony does.

However, Tony no longer felt the same ease and relaxation he had initially shown towards him.

Therefore, Harvey hopes to show Tony his true self and rekindle their past friendship.

Sonia looked somewhat surprised when she saw that Mr. Kassadin had actually taken off his mask.

However, after seeing Mr. Tony, Sonia understood.

Of all the people she had met during the five years she had served Mr. Kassadin.

The only person who can be called Mr. Kassadin's friend is Mr. Tony.

The others didn't even have the chance to meet Mr. Kassadin in person.

"I don't know why, but it feels like it's been a long time since I've seen you like this."

Tony saw Kassadin suddenly remove his armor, revealing the same appearance he had when he first went to Harvey's house to invite him. He felt the complicated look in Harvey's eyes and paused before speaking.

"I haven't been to Earth for a while either, so it's normal for you to feel like you haven't seen it in a long time."

"But Tony, you should know that I have always considered you my friend."

Harvey, upon hearing Tony's words, spoke with some emotion.

"...I understand what you mean, but please give me some time to grow."

"When I reach the pinnacle of the universe, that will be the time for us to rekindle our past friendship."

"Even if I wanted to, it would be very difficult to go back to the past now."

"You also know that the power and status you symbolize are something countless people aspire to but cannot attain."

Tony was startled when he heard Harvey's words, which carried a hint of reluctance. He wanted to call Harvey by name, but ultimately didn't. After a moment of silence, he spoke.

“I didn’t mean to say that, but since you’ve said it, I believe that the time when you reach the pinnacle of the universe is not too far away.”

Harvey knew that it was unlikely that Tony would be able to chat and laugh with him like before, and he felt a little disappointed, but he still expressed his expectations.

"After I finish dealing with all the trivial matters on Earth, and can finally live peacefully for myself."

"I will reach the pinnacle of the universe and prove that your judgment has never been wrong."

Upon hearing this, Tony clenched his fist and a confident smile appeared on his face.

Harvey said he was the first member to join the Void and expressed his appreciation for his talent, bringing him into a world completely different from the past.

Therefore, he also wanted to meet Harvey's expectations of him and prove that Kassadin, the god of the void, had never been wrong in his judgment.

"My judgment has never been wrong."

"So even if you don't believe in your own talent in the future, you should still trust my judgment."

Harvey smiled upon hearing this.

“I’m Tony Stark, how could I not believe in my own abilities?”

Tony's confident smile remained unchanged upon hearing this, his words brimming with self-assurance.

"Ah."

"Although it's difficult to return to the days when we talked about freedom."

"But if you have joy or sorrow that you want to share, you can come to me anytime to share or discuss it."

"Just like when I contacted you before."

Harvey nodded slightly upon hearing this and spoke.

"That's definitely possible."

Tony nodded in agreement.

Although he and Harvey had grown somewhat distant, they hadn't drifted apart to the point where he was afraid to approach Harvey.
