"Tony, what happened to you?"
"You developed genetics?"
Pepper rubbed her eyes and walked a few steps in disbelief. Then she took a closer look at Tony's current appearance. Her heart was full of surprise, but her words were filled with excitement.
Because the genetics developed by Tony are most likely related to life span.
As long as there are no major side effects, this will become a treasure that countless women are keen to pursue.
"Shut up!"
Tony saw Pepper's slightly excited look and shouted directly.
“…”
When Pepper heard this, she trembled all over and was also startled.
Because this was the first time Tony looked a little angry and told himself to shut up.
"Pepper, you should have a lot of things you want to ask me."
"I will tell you everything, but from now on, I will let you do whatever you want with your self-talk."
"But when you meet more people outside in the future, you have to restrain yourself."
Tony walked towards Pepper with his hands behind his back, his face serious and solemn.
Pepper's self-centered attitude was fine in front of him, but if it was still like this in front of Harvey Ambelaka, it might leave some bad impressions.
"Is this an order?"
Pepper saw Tony hearing these words and wanted to reply as usual, but seeing Tony exuding confidence and majesty, she could only ask in a low voice.
"This is not an order, this is a reminder."
"Because what I'm going to tell you next will open up a new world for you."
"If you continue to be by my side in the future, you will definitely attend some special occasions with me and meet some more special people or things."
"Those people and things will be special than anything you've ever seen or heard before."
"Sometimes, because of some of your self-care behaviors outside, you may cause us disasters that even I can't resist."
"So that's something you have to remember."
Tony said as he walked towards Pepper step by step.
"Is this a proposal?"
When Pepper heard that the future was with her, she had an incredible expression on her face.
She knew clearly that her relationship with Tony was more than friends but not lovers.
It's just that Tony is a super rich playboy. Although he is approaching forty years old, Tony doesn't need to worry.
So she had been waiting for when Tony would really calm down, but she didn't expect Tony to say this suddenly.
"You can think so."
Tony didn't deny it when he heard it.
Pepper originally thought that Tony would find an excuse to shirk or deny it like he did in the past, but he didn't expect that this time, Tony would be so direct.
"Okay, keep talking and I'll listen."
This made Pepper feel a little excited and said with great joy.
"You asked me before why I suddenly became younger, but I didn't answer you at that time."
"It's because I didn't think clearly about whether to accept it or not at the time."
"But now I can tell you the secret of why I became like this, including the world that ordinary people cannot access."
Tony sat on a chair and spoke.
Pepper felt a little strange when she heard Tony's words, but she just nodded to show that she was listening.
"I became young because of someone who exposed me to a new world."
"Give me a long life and growing strength."
"I also understood the nature of life, the other side of the world, the vastness of the universe, and the authenticity of gods."
“And the man who led me into that new world was none other than Harvey Ambelaka.”
Seeing how obedient Pepper was, Tony continued.
"Tony, are you being scammed?"
When Pepper heard these words that were not usually mentioned, he was silent for a moment and then spoke.
Tony wasn't surprised when he saw Pepper's reaction. He knew that facts speak louder than words, so he didn't argue verbally.
Instead, he directly raised his foot and touched the ground.
With a "Bang!", the floor was crushed to pieces by Tony's foot.
"how did you do it?"
Pepper's beautiful eyes widened when she saw the power of Tony's kick.
Tony couldn't be said to be weak before, because he often had to make inventions, so his strength was still stronger than ordinary people.
But Pepper knew that Tony's body was just like that, stronger than ordinary people but not much stronger.
But now Tony smashes the floor directly with his foot. This is obviously not the power that Tony can possess.
"This is the power from the void, don't worry, I will tell you step by step."
Tony pretended that nothing happened and crossed his legs, shaking slightly to dissipate the pain in his feet, while saying.
According to his estimation, it would not be difficult to make cracks in the floor by himself, but he did not expect that he would use too much force and directly break the floor, causing his feet to hurt.
But Tony soon felt the pain coming from the soles of his feet disappearing quickly.
This discovery surprised Tony himself, but it was obviously not the time to be surprised yet.
What matters is how he convinces Pepper to believe in the void and join the void.
"Sir's physical fitness is at least several times stronger than before, far exceeding that of ordinary humans."
At this time, Jarvis also followed Tony's prior instructions and explained.
“…”
Pepper heard what Jarvis said and looked at Tony, who was looking young and handsome again.
She didn't understand what void was, but she understood what she should do now. So Pepper honestly found a chair and sat down.
"Before you peek into the void, I believe you will have some doubts about the void."
"Because I was the same before. Before I faced the void directly, I couldn't understand what the void meant."
"But now I understand that the void is for evolution, adaptation and survival."
"You may not be able to understand this now."
Tony Stark looked at Pepper's honest appearance and began to explain the situation.
But just after he finished speaking, Tony saw Pepper's confused look, and thought for a moment and changed it to a simpler way of saying it.
"To put it simply, it allows you to gain some kind of superpower. The most important thing is to gain a lifespan of at least hundreds of thousands of years or even longer."
"As you can see, I have joined the Void, so I have gained strength and become younger."
"Pepper, you are a woman. I know you may not have that much desire for power."
"But let me ask you, do you want to stay young forever?"
Tony said throwing the question to Pepper.
"I want to stay young forever, and no woman doesn't."
"But I still want to ask, what is the price?"
"If you want to gain superpowers or a longer lifespan, there must be a price."
After hearing these easy-to-understand words, Pepper thought for a moment, calmed down, and asked.
"The price is that your appetite will become huge and you need to eat a lot of food every day."
Tony heard Pepper's words and replied seriously.
"Same as Mr. Harvey Ambelaka?"
When Pepper heard that the appetite would be great, he immediately thought of Harvey Ambelaka.
"Yes, but this can be said to be a price, or it can be said that joining is something required for evolution."
"If you want to evolve, you have to eat. The more you eat, the more you evolve, the more power you gain, and the longer your life span."
"The real price is the psychological test, which requires resisting the temptation of desire."
"Because you have extraordinary power, your mentality will change."
"Just like me now, in the past I would not dare to explain my true thoughts to you because of some trivial thoughts in my mind, such as fear of making a fool of myself."
"But it's different now. I have a lifespan of at least a thousand years or even longer."
"And I asked Harvey Ambelaka to get you the opportunity to join the Void together."
"I want you to join me in the void now and spend a long time together in the future."
"I hope you won't let my efforts go to waste, Pepper."
When Tony heard this, he looked directly at Pepper, his words showing great seriousness.
He knew there was only one chance, if Pepper didn't want to.
It is hard to say whether Harvey Ambelaka will give him another chance in the future.
And if Pepper doesn't accept it no matter what, then he and Pepper are destined to become people in two different worlds.
So he took this opportunity to express what he had been thinking all along.
"I really don't have that much yearning for power, but women do have an instinctive pursuit of eternal youth."
"I also appreciate your willingness to secure this opportunity for me."
"But I have a question for you."
Pepper felt Tony's hot eyes and looked hard at each other for a few seconds. Finally, she looked away shyly and asked in a low voice.
"You ask."
Tony's heart sank slightly when he heard Pepper's words, but he still suppressed the throbbing in his heart and asked.
"If I eat as much as Mr. Harvey Ambelaka does every day, will I get fat?"
Pepper heard this and expressed his problem.
"… That's it?"
Tony originally thought that Pepper had other concerns, so he kept thinking about how to solve it. Unexpectedly, Pepper was worried about whether he would gain weight
"That's it, an appetite as big as Mr. Harvey Ambelaka's."
“It’s easy to think about gaining weight, okay?”
Pepper felt Tony's speechless eyes and defended seriously.
"I can't give you an accurate answer to this question, but judging from Harvey Ambelaka's situation."
"These problems can be solved. At least he maintains his figure which makes me envious."
"There are still many things I haven't told you, but please tell me the answer now."
"Are you willing to join the Void with me?"
"Have a longer life and explore the other side of the world with me."
Tony Stark saw that Pepper did not look weird, but looked serious in defense. A smile appeared on his face and he extended a sincere invitation.
"I am willing, but what should I do?"
Pepper asked in a low voice when she saw Tony who was looking more confident and handsome.
"I'm going to please..."
Tony was extremely happy when he heard this and wanted to take Pepper to see Harvey Ambelaka.
But before Tony could finish his words, he saw Pepper's eyes closed tightly and her body lying flat in the air because even some lace could be seen in the skirt.
But none of this was important. What was important was that Tony discovered that Pepper's body began to be covered in purple energy.
"The void is so mysterious and great."
Tony said with emotion when he saw this scene.
The person he cares about most is allowed to join the void and explore the other side of the world with him. This tolerance and gift can only be described as great.
