I’m Very Satisfied

"I understand. I’ll follow your instructions in everything."

After hearing Mr. Kassadin’s words, Sonia thought it over and understood as well, then nodded.

"You haven’t evolved enough times yet, and your body is too weak. I won’t force you to come with me."

"Hold out your hand."

Seeing that Sonia understood, Harvey did not continue discussing those matters. He glanced at Sonia’s reddened ankle and spoke.

Sonia did not hesitate upon hearing this and held out her hand.

Harvey immediately took Sonia’s hand, looked down, and the two of them vanished from the road.

The next second, Harvey brought Sonia before a solemn, sacred golden temple. The temple was built from enormous earthen-yellow stones and looked majestic and grand.

Layers upon layers of stairs led up to the temple above, and at the end of those stairs stood a massive stone platform.

Above the platform stood a ten-meter-tall statue identical to Kassadin’s appearance. The sculptor’s craftsmanship was clearly extraordinary as well.

"Very good."

Harvey looked up at the temple’s color scheme and the statue that perfectly matched his current appearance, then spoke in satisfaction.

Though the Void was dark and empty, a temple clearly could not be built around darkness as its main theme.

A temple built primarily in black would not only look unappealing, but would also give people an oppressive first impression.

Sonia had once asked whether he wanted the Void’s theme to emphasize bright grandeur or dark emptiness.

He had merely said that he wanted it bright and grand, and Sonia had constructed this for him. Honestly, it was quite good.

Although the scenery before Sonia had changed drastically and she had arrived before the temple in an instant, she was not particularly surprised.

Because she had long known that Mr. Kassadin possessed the ability to teleport.

Not to mention that when she had gained the power of the Void, she had witnessed Mr. Kassadin perform a miracle-like feat: taking a single step through the cosmic sea of stars and vanishing without a trace.

"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Kassadin."

"However, I still need you to carve the precepts and doctrines of the Void Cult onto the stone tablet beneath the statue, so that future visitors will feel reverence."

Hearing Mr. Kassadin’s somewhat satisfied assessment, Sonia smiled as she spoke.

Harvey nodded, used the power of the Void to carry Sonia into the air, and flew directly to the platform beneath the statue before releasing her hand.

He pointed with one hand, and Chinese characters appeared one after another upon the tall stone tablet.

When Sonia noticed that Mr. Kassadin had released her hand on his own initiative, she did not pay it much mind.

However, when she saw those words, she discovered that her translator indicated that the language also originated from C53.

Sonia’s eyes flickered as she fell into thought.

If Mr. Kassadin ever left for too long in the future, perhaps she could go to C53 and inquire about him.

Although the language he used did not necessarily mean that Mr. Kassadin came from the planet known as C53, it did mean he had probably lived on C53 for quite some time. Otherwise, he would not have mastered that planet’s language.

"From now on, I can tell others who join the Void that the precepts and doctrines on this stone tablet were personally carved by you."

Though Sonia had her own thoughts, she did not reveal them. Instead, she looked at the precepts and doctrines Mr. Kassadin had previously told her about appearing on the stone tablet and smiled.

"I’m about to spread word and bring more people to believe in the Void."

"Before long, people on Xandar should hear my name and come here."

"From now on, you must explain things to them properly and make them take these rules as a warning. Do not let them lose themselves in the abyss of desire."

Hearing Sonia’s words, Harvey spoke.

"Mm. The stone carving is complete. Shall we go inside the temple and take a look now?"

Sonia nodded slightly and spoke.

Harvey nodded and followed Sonia into the temple.

At the far end of the temple’s main hall was a massive mural of night intertwined with a river of stars.

"I am satisfied, but can you tell me why you designed it this way?"

Harvey was somewhat surprised when he saw the mural and asked.

"Because you did not give me any specific instructions regarding the symbol of the Void."

"So I painted everything I saw when I received your blessing and gazed upon the Void."

"Though it is not the full appearance of the Void, much less capable of conveying your greatness and nobility."

"I believe that once others who believe in the Void see it, they will also realize that this is the symbol representing the Void."

"Furthermore, the council hall and Hall of Judgment have already been established."

"If anyone in the Void Cult violates the precepts in the future, they will be made to await your judgment in the Hall of Judgment."

"Making an example of one to warn the others is also an important part of maintaining order in the temple."

Sonia explained the reason for the design after hearing this and spoke.

To be honest, with a body as vast and boundless as Mr. Kassadin’s, she could not capture its essence with her abilities. Therefore, she had only depicted the endless starry sky dominated by black.

Since she had witnessed those unimaginable sights after believing in the Void, other people who believed in the Void would most likely see some of them as well.

At that time, they would surely understand why the countless stars in the sky represented the symbol of the Void.

"Sonia, you did not disappoint me."

"You constructed this temple very well."

After hearing Sonia say that she had merely painted what she saw, Harvey fell into thought. However, he did not question her in detail. Instead, he nodded in satisfaction and generously voiced his praise.

"As long as you are satisfied, I can rest easy."

Upon hearing that praise, Sonia let out a long breath. The tension and worry in her heart finally dissipated.

The temple had been what made her the most nervous, because Mr. Kassadin had only given her the required color scheme, while she had been free to handle everything else as she wished.

As for the villa, she had asked Mr. Kassadin in detail about his preferences and drawn several designs for him to review and choose from, so she was not worried about that at all.

There was even less need to mention the training facility. It was a special gravity training ground made from special materials.

It was advanced technology. As long as its functions were in place and it was sturdy enough to withstand all kinds of impact-based training,

then as long as its appearance was not unbearable to look at, it would certainly pass inspection.

Seeing Sonia openly let out a long breath, Harvey also knew that his instructions had placed some pressure on her.

"You may now think about what reward you want."

"Wealth, power, or some other condition."

"As long as your request is not too outrageous, I will consider fulfilling it for you."

Since Sonia had handled this matter to his satisfaction, Harvey naturally would not be stingy with rewards, so he spoke directly.

Thanks to Fuzzy Confused for the tip.
