"Perhaps they're worried about the misuse of magic leading people astray."

Stephen thought carefully for a moment before answering Tony and Pietro's question.

He could understand that the main reason for having these rules was to prevent the misuse of magic and its descent into evil, but it was also normal to use them for profit.

Most people will almost instinctively follow established rules from the past without questioning or changing them.

This is the herd mentality: if others do it, then I will do it too.

"Despite possessing magic and abilities different from ordinary people, it is forbidden to use them for profit."

"If one becomes impoverished, wouldn't it be easier to develop a psychological imbalance and thus go astray?"

"It's impossible to completely escape money in this life."

"Humans are not a species that is free from desires; rather, the stronger the power, the greater the desires."

Pietro replied with a serious expression.

Only when material needs are no longer a burden can one begin to seek spiritual fulfillment.

If you are constantly busy pursuing material things, you will generate all kinds of pressure until it is suppressed to the extreme and then explodes.

The reason he can cultivate diligently every day is because his material needs are met, and he doesn't need to worry about money at all.

Otherwise, they'd be struggling to make ends meet and constantly thinking about how to earn money.

It's impossible for him to be carefree every day, thinking about how to improve his strength and step forward when the world is in trouble.

With my own life full of troubles, where do I find the leisure to help others solve their problems?

Pietro has personally experienced that the stronger one's strength, the stronger one's desires.

However, because he has enough material possessions, he can get whatever he wants with money, so he doesn't need superpowers at all.

So now he's so powerful he can practically do whatever he wants on Earth, and he has no intention of harming anyone.

Of course, this is also partly because Mr. Tony and the others were pressing down on them.

But fundamentally, his heart will not gradually darken because of the hardships of life.

"..."

Stephen was also somewhat shaken upon hearing this.

"Let's get ready to head to the Void Island."

"After arriving at Void Island, I came into contact with the doctrines and atmosphere of the Void God Cult."

"You might change because of this."

Seeing that Stephen seemed somewhat convinced, Tony spoke up directly.

In the universe, it's perfectly normal to use superpowers or overwhelming strength to seek a life superior to that of ordinary people.

The Void God Cult is also a sect that advocates freedom. Once each member of the Void God Cult has gradually matured in strength, they are unlikely to compromise their principles for a pittance.

If even basic material comforts cannot be satisfied, more desires will arise, leading to an abyss of desire.

"Goodbye, Mr. Tony, Mr. Steve, and Mr. Banner."

Pietro knew they definitely wouldn't take him with them.

No matter what, Earth still needs someone to protect it.

However, he wasn't in a hurry, because Mr. Tony's plan was progressing smoothly.

So it's only been a few years since Earth entered the interstellar era, and he wasn't even thirty years old then.

With the added lifespan from the gene-enhancing injections, he has at least 180 years left to live, so there's no need to rush things now.

"Yes, we'll be back in ten to fifteen days this time."

"You all keep a close eye on Blue Star."

"Let's not allow any major disasters to occur on Earth during this joyous New Year period."

Steve looked at Pietro and Wanda and said with a smile.

Steve didn't know how much Wanda's power had grown, but Pietro was already very reliable.

Then a group of people boarded the spaceship and headed straight into space.

Stephen had been standing near the cabin the whole time, because Tony hadn't taken him to explore the spaceship in detail.

But now Stephen saw the comfortable and luxurious rest area of ​​the spaceship.

It has to be said that he instinctively felt envious.

As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Once you've experienced what a comfortable and affluent life is like, it's impossible not to feel a longing for it.

Moreover, when one has the opportunity to pursue this kind of life, it is inevitable to feel wavering before taking action.

"Many of the members of Void Island may not be as rich as Tony, but most of them live similar luxurious lives. You'll see when you get there."

Seeing Stephen's shocked expression, Banner laughed and said...

Even if the members of Void Island don't work, the cosmic coins that Miss Sonia occasionally gives out are enough to ensure that all the members have enough to eat and wear and can focus on doing what they want.

How long does it take to get from Earth to Void Island?

Stephen knew he had truly stepped into another world.

"There's plenty of time this time, so there's no need to rush."

"It should take about ten hours to reach the Void Island of Xandar."

Tony spoke up upon hearing this.

"It can be done in a dozen hours?"

"What if the time is tight?"

Stephen knew that Xandar was at least several million light-years away from Earth, a distance that could be reached in a dozen hours.

Although he possesses spatial teleportation abilities, allowing him to travel across countless distances to any place he desires.

But this has one prerequisite: he must have been there or be able to imagine it.

Moreover, this is a special kind of magic, and not all mages can use it.

Spaceships in the universe, if willing to carry passengers, can easily transport hundreds of thousands of people on a journey; such convenience of transportation is terrifying.

Furthermore, the entire journey is powered by intelligent AI, eliminating the need for constant monitoring. This interstellar travel experience is simply amazing.

"If we hurry, it will only take eight hours to get there."

Steve smiled and said upon hearing this.

Originally, he was one of the less knowledgeable people in the Nine Realms, but now that Stephen has joined the fray, he, who had the least knowledge, has become a senior.

"I'll introduce you to some people when the time comes."

“The disciples of the Sorcerer Supreme, I think they would definitely want to get to know you.”

Banner spoke up upon hearing this.

"You mean the other top experts in the Void Cult besides you and Tony?"

Stephen's eyes flashed upon hearing this, and he spoke.

"Have you learned anything about them?"

Tony looked somewhat surprised when he heard these words.

"No, I only learned it from the books left behind by the Ancient One."

"I understand that you, Banner, and Thor are all top experts in the Void Cult."

"I've only seen some information about the other five, so I don't know their specific strengths."

All I know is that they are all very strong.

"Also, we need to be careful of Enma Alex Mogley; we shouldn't provoke him."

Stephen immediately shook his head upon hearing this.

"It seems that the Ancient One did quite a lot of homework."

"They even know about Alex."

Banner was somewhat surprised to hear this.

It's almost certain that Gu Yi understood those individuals within the Nine Realms.

Although their strength might not be enough for the Ancient One, if we exclude the Ancient One and use the strength Stephen just displayed as the standard,

The three of them don't need to work together; one of them is enough to easily take down Kamar-Taj.

However, the Ancient One actually went out of her way to learn about the top experts of the Void Cult who were active in the Andromeda Galaxy.

Gu Yi truly put in a lot of effort and was very wary of their Void God Cult.

“That guy, Alex, is no ordinary strongman, and he does have a rather volatile and dangerous personality. Gu Yi did her homework quite well.”

Tony nodded upon hearing this and spoke.

If one offends the Void God Cult, others might be spared depending on the circumstances.

But sending Alex there would only have one outcome: a purge.

"What about me? What about me?"

"Does the book left by the Ancient One contain any record of me?"

When Steve heard that Tony, Banner, Thor, and Enma were on the list, he knew that his strength was inferior to the four of them, but he still looked at Stephen with great anticipation.

"There is no information about you in the Void Chapter."

"Your information is in the normal records."

Seeing Steve's expectant look, Stephen shook his head realistically instead of saying anything nice.

"The Void Chapter?"

What was the Supreme Master Gu Yi's assessment of us?
