Tony Stark saw that Harvey Anberaka didn't speak and continued eating.
"But Harvey Anberaka, just how strong are you? Can a mushroom cloud affect you?"
Finally, Tony Stark couldn't help but ask, unable to suppress his curiosity.
"With humanity's current technology, it cannot harm me in the slightest," Harvey replied casually.
In these past few months, he hadn't been idle, maintaining an average of six Evolutions per month, having Evolved two hundred and eighty-three times.
His Void Skin had Evolved sixty-four times.
Even at the deepest point of the ocean on Blue Star, facing terrifyingly heavy Water pressure, it was no longer considered a harsh environment for him.
He could swim freely within it, as if it were a casual swim.
However, if he were to directly face the explosion of a mushroom cloud, he might be injured.
So, as long as he avoids the initial blast of the mushroom cloud, even if he doesn't leave the subsequent radiation from the mushroom cloud, his body will naturally Evolve an immunity to radiation in a very short time, allowing him to move freely within the mushroom cloud's radiation.
The terrifying aspect of the Void lies precisely in this: even if injured and in a harsh environment, as long as he doesn't die, he can Evolve the necessary abilities to adapt to any harsh environment in a short period.
"If I become a being similar to you, can I also reach your current level?" Tony Stark asked, his eyes widening in surprise.
"It's impossible at first, but it will only take some time."
"You can also possess near-Eternity and power that no one can rival."
Harvey knew that Tony Stark was interested, so he nodded slightly and gave Tony Stark a clear answer.
Void creatures themselves are the most powerful weapons; through the ability of Evolution, they will eventually become very powerful.
The only difference between different Void creatures lies in the requirements and difficulty of Evolution.
Tony Stark, having witnessed the power displayed by Harvey Anberaka, couldn't help but show a hint of fanaticism in his eyes upon hearing this.
"No one can rival? What about gods?" However, Tony Stark quickly reacted and asked with some confusion.
Having witnessed Harvey Anberaka's power, Tony Stark wouldn't be surprised even if a god appeared before him now.
"You can understand gods as beings or aliens who are born with long lifespans and possess stronger powers," Harvey said calmly.
"Because their power exceeds human comprehension, and coupled with humanity's lifespan of only a mere hundred years."
"Therefore, humans regard them as gods and consider some of their actions as miracles."
"Humanity's lifespan of merely a hundred years, it truly sounds cruel," Tony Stark said with a bitter smile, pondering Harvey Anberaka's understated tone.
Compared to those aliens, humanity only has a short hundred years.
"Throughout the long river of history, there have been many exceptionally talented individuals among humans."
"They left behind deeds worthy of long-lasting praise at a young age, but as they aged, their bodily functions inevitably began to decline."
"Their brains also became dull, with no more time or energy to discover things in the World they hadn't discovered."
"Ultimately, they could only be a fleeting glimpse in the long river of history."
"If they had longer lifespans, combining the geniuses of various eras,"
"humanity's current technological civilization should be more advanced and developed," Harvey said slowly, his eyes flickering.
Longevity is an unavoidable problem for humanity, which is why countless humans yearn for longer lifespans.
They long for more time to display their talents.
They long for more time to personally witness the future they have imagined.
They long for more time to witness sights and deeds they never even dared to conceive of.
Harvey himself possesses a longer lifespan, so he now has the ability to personally witness the future.
Therefore, he would not reject what made him who he is, even if others might view him as an anomaly.
But Harvey clearly understood human psychology: everyone curses anomalies, yet everyone yearns to become one.
Those who believe a long lifespan is useless or view it as a curse are only because they lack the power to do as they please, besides their long lifespan.
If one had such a long lifespan, it would bring countless wonderful things.
Tony Stark was greatly shaken by Harvey Anberaka's words.
Harvey Anberaka possessed power beyond his comprehension, so his standing and perspective on the World were completely different from his own.
He was angry at Nick Fury's threat just now but couldn't retaliate.
Because Nick Fury represented the U.S. Military.
However, Harvey Anberaka directly retaliated with lightning speed against Nick Fury's threat.
If Harvey Anberaka hadn't been benevolent, all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s people would have died there.
The power Harvey Anberaka displayed made Tony Stark realize that no matter how much he improved his Iron Man Armor, it would be difficult to match it.
Because Harvey Anberaka had just revealed a crucial piece of information to him.
That is, if he became a being similar to Harvey Anberaka, his power would grow stronger over time.
Then, as the one who created him, Harvey Anberaka himself must also possess such an ability, perhaps even more terrifying and powerful.
Because Harvey Anberaka had said that even if he became a being similar to Harvey Anberaka, he would not be able to catch up to Harvey Anberaka's pace.
Although Harvey Anberaka had said it casually at the time, he had not forgotten Harvey Anberaka's words.
Now, the opportunity that countless people yearn for—to gain a longer lifespan and greater power—is laid before him.
Yet he is agonizing over what others think of him, which is undoubtedly an extremely foolish and ignorant thing.
"Harvey Anberaka, I know I don't have enough power or qualifications to ask anything of you."
"So, this is my request." Thinking this, Tony Stark's eyes flashed with determination as he looked at Harvey Anberaka and spoke.
"You don't have to be so self-deprecating; your mind is quite good."
"And there's no superior-subordinate relationship between us, so you don't need to be so formal."
"Tell me your request, and I'll consider it," Harvey said, looking at the determined Tony Stark.
"I now truly realize that having power and having power but not using it are completely different concepts."
"I want to ask you to let me become a being similar to you, to gain a longer lifespan and powerful strength," Tony Stark said with a serious expression, listening to Harvey Anberaka's words.
"Won't you talk to Pepper about this?"
"Didn't you say just now that you haven't told her about these things?" Harvey Anberaka asked in return, knowing that Tony Stark was mentally prepared, but still not agreeing immediately.
"She will understand, and it's because of this that I know my actions are somewhat greedy, perhaps even shameless."
"However, even so, I want to say that I have one more thing I'd like to ask of you."
"If Pepper thinks it through, even if the power you give her isn't comprehensive, it doesn't matter."
"Please let her also gain a longer lifespan," Tony said.
Women's desire for eternal youth is even stronger than men's.
So Tony knew that as long as he became younger and told Pepper the secret of becoming younger, it wouldn't be difficult to persuade Pepper to understand and accept it.
Whether Harvey Anberaka would agree to his request was the unknown factor.
Please vote for me, everyone!!!
