Tony’s Journey of Exploration

After flying out of Harvey’s villa, Tony flew straight into the sky and looked down over the island’s overall layout.

He discovered that the island had been developed, but not fully. There were only some basic facilities, a harbor, living quarters, a temple, and a black tower he had never seen before.

No wonder Harvey had said the Void Cult was short on money right now.

There were still many places on the island where all kinds of things could be built.

There were relatively few people on the island, only around a dozen or so, but each of them possessed physical abilities far beyond ordinary humans and could run incredibly fast.

Some seemed to be adapting to their powers, while others were swimming near the harbor and catching fish along the way.

Their appearances were very similar to humans on Earth.

If Tony had not experienced a breathtaking journey through the cosmos before coming here, he might have suspected he was on Earth right now.

There were few women among these members. Aside from Sonia, whom he had just met, Tony had seen only one other, making two in total.

She was also extremely beautiful. Combined with the way she was exercising, her proud and sensual curves were on full display, adding even more to her charm.

On Earth, she would have been the kind of woman countless people obsessed over.

At that moment, Tony’s radar detected a red dot moving at high speed, heading directly toward him. Its speed had at least exceeded the speed of sound.

If he had not been wearing the Iron Man armor, he might not even have been able to track the other person’s movements. In just over ten seconds, a figure appeared a hundred meters to his side.

That allowed Tony to clearly see the man’s appearance. He was a silver-haired man.

The silver-haired man climbed a large tree, then leaped dozens of meters into the air. Clearly, that height was not enough to reach Tony.

However, as Renoli fell from dozens of meters up, Kyle had already arrived. He crouched down, clasped his hands together, and the muscles all over his body displayed an astonishing sense of power.

The instant he caught Renoli, several indentations appeared in the ground. Then he heaved upward with force.

Using the momentum, Renoli shot into the sky like a rocket, flying precisely toward Tony, who was two hundred meters above the ground.

All of this happened in only a few seconds. Tony could tell the other man seemed ready to fight him.

Although he did not have Jarvis assisting him right now and could not bring out the Iron Man armor’s full power, Tony was not afraid in the slightest.

On Earth, he had needed to conceal his identity as someone who had joined the Void, leaving him with no opportunities to fight. He could only train on his own every day.

Now that the other side seemed to have misunderstood him, he did not want to explain. He only wanted to experience the feeling of battle.

So the thrusters beneath Tony’s feet activated. With a boom, he dove down from above and charged directly at Renoli.

Tony threw a punch, but his confident blow was dodged by the other man with a strange midair sidestep.

Even as Tony inwardly realized things had gone wrong, Renoli had already grabbed the arm of his armor.

Then Renoli quickly flipped onto Tony’s back, locking both armored arms with his hands before stomping down on his back.

With a bang, terrifying force struck him, sending Tony plummeting toward the ground like a falling aircraft.

Faced with this move, Tony knew that even if he activated the thrusters in his feet and continued flying, both his arms had been locked down.

If he could not break free, he would not be able to continue fighting. He could only watch as he rapidly descended.

Just as he was about to hit the ground, Tony felt a hand grab him. Then he felt the steady sensation of his feet touching solid ground.

Tony opened his eyes and found a hulking man over two meters tall, his body packed with explosive muscles, staring at him.

The silver-haired man who had dragged him down from two hundred meters in the air was also watching him from nearby.

"Who are you?"

"How dare you circle above Void Island?"

Renoli looked at the armored figure before him and asked in an unfriendly tone.

Before joining the Void Cult and believing in the Void, Renoli, Kyle, and the Precognitor had often worked together, completing Tier 3 Bounty Missions that even Tier 2 Bounty Hunters could not complete.

The three of them possessed strength and combat experience far beyond those of ordinary Tier 2 Bounty Hunters, so capturing an unidentified flying object had been effortless.

However, because they did not know the identity of this Iron Man, they did not dare kill him outright and risk inviting trouble.

Otherwise, the Precognitor would have shot this Iron Man out of the sky long ago.

"Relax, relax. You two should be members of the Void Cult too, right?"

"So am I."

Tony felt the two men watching him like tigers eyeing prey. He had initially wanted to fight and blow off some steam, but now he realized he had overestimated his combat experience and underestimated their strength.

Without Jarvis’s assistance, the information he could gather and rapidly apply during battle had been greatly reduced.

Under circumstances so unfavorable to him, there seemed to be no chance of winning a one-against-two fight, so Tony naturally took the initiative to reveal his identity.

"We are indeed members of the Void Cult, serving the great Lord Kassadin."

"But if you are also a member of the Void Cult, how dare you fly so high in the sky?"

Hearing Tony’s words, Renoli studied his armored appearance with some suspicion.

"I really am. When you joined the Void, you saw enormous creatures beyond imagination, didn’t you?"

Seeing that they did not believe him, Tony’s mind raced as he spoke of the easiest thing to make them believe.

"Renoli, he saw them too. Then he should be one of us, right?"

After hearing Tony describe that scene, Kyle looked to Renoli for his opinion.

Although Renoli felt that this Iron Man’s actions just now had been disrespectful toward the Void Cult, the sight he described was indeed a magnificent vision that only those who had received a Void blessing could glimpse.

"Those are not monsters. They are the gods of the Void."

So whether he believed it or not, he had no choice but to accept it. His expression softened slightly as he seriously corrected Tony.

"That’s right. That is the ultimate form of the Void."

"As fellow members of the Void Cult, then this is easy to settle."

"My name is Tony Stark. You can also call me Iron Man."

"I was only trying to look at the island’s layout just now. I had no intention of offending anyone."

Seeing how much these two seemed to revere Harvey, Tony knew that arguing would only lead to a quarrel. So he simply went along with it, opened his helmet to reveal a smile, and spoke amicably.

Although they had exchanged only a few moves, these two were truly powerful, and they would only become stronger in the future.

If he could get to know them and win them over, they would definitely be excellent combat power to help Earth in the future.

"My name is Renoli. I’m a superpowered individual. You can also call me Supersonic."

Knowing this had been a misunderstanding, Renoli did not deliberately make things difficult for Tony in the face of his friendly attitude and introduced himself.

"My name is Kyle. I’m also a superpowered individual. My codename is Mountain."

Kyle introduced himself as well.

"Precognitor."

At that moment, a voice sounded silently from behind Tony.

"…"

Tony turned at the sound and saw someone wrapped in bandages and draped in a black robe, their face obscured, sitting in a tree fifty meters behind him.

He looked at the large firearm cradled in the Precognitor’s arms, which did not seem like something to be trifled with.

Good grief. On Earth, he had lived for so many years without encountering more than a few superpowered individuals, yet he had just arrived in the universe and already met three of them.
