Harvey flew back to his luxurious estate in New York with the money, stored it in the basement, changed into new clothes, and then summoned the system.
Immediately, Harvey noticed that the system, which previously only had hero templates, now featured two new functions that he had not seen before: Hero Ascension and Hero Essence.
Harvey clicked on Hero Essence and found it only contained an image of the Void Reaver, Kha'Zix.
Besides that, there were various forms of Kha'Zix:
Sand Guardian Kha'Zix: Grants the ability to turn into sand, transforming back to his true form more concealed. Redemption conditions are unknown.
Death Blossom Kha'Zix: Grants the ability to evolve into a mimetic plant, making his true form appear as beautiful and harmless as a plant. Redemption conditions are unknown.
Celestial Tyrant Kha'Zix: Grants mechanized special abilities, allowing direct control over various devices. Redemption condition: 100 million Void Energy.
Odyssey Kha'Zix: Grants the power of the Arcane, allowing exploration of the mysteries of the universe. Redemption conditions are unknown.
Star of Death Kha'Zix: Grants control over Dark Star power, enabling mastery over this force and becoming a ruler of the cosmos. Redemption conditions unknown.
Harvey knew that although these were just skins in League of Legends, they seemed to have changed in the system.
The only one available for redemption required a staggering amount of energy, making it seem almost unattainable.
However, since the conditions and difficulty of obtaining it were still unclear, Harvey didn't immediately dismiss it as impossible.
Next, Harvey looked at the Ascension function, which required the Evolution Source to obtain one opportunity for hero ascension.
The condition to acquire an Evolution Source was clear: obtain one for every thousand evolutions.
Harvey had only evolved a little over two hundred times, so he was still far from reaching the thousand-evolution mark, making this not a current concern.
[Host has successfully claimed ownership. Void Summoning Task has been issued.]
[Regardless of method, find a way to spread the will of the Void and make more beings aware of the Void and join it.]
[The more powerful and influential beings are, the more Void Energy the host will receive.]
The system saw that Harvey wanted to unlock subsequent hero templates and began explaining.
"What is the criterion for determining influence?"
Harvey asked the system, pondering.
However, the system did not respond to Harvey's question and seemed to go silent.
If the system could communicate, it wouldn't have taken so long for him to officially claim ownership.
This wasn't the first time this had happened, so despite his frustration, Harvey could only think about it privately.
But these concepts weren't too difficult to understand; Harvey had just asked casually.
The idea of great power was easy to understand. By observing a being's life energy, Harvey could glean some insights.
Influence was likely referring to famous heroes in the Marvel Universe.
If influence were the only criterion, Tony Stark's original self wouldn't be considered exceptionally powerful.
Perhaps this is why the criterion of influence was added?
Harvey hadn't planned to get too involved with Tony Stark initially.
He feared that such involvement might drastically alter the various futures he knew.
However, now that Tony Stark had become Iron Man, Harvey felt it necessary to have a talk with him.
Tony Stark's influence in the Marvel Universe was significant, affecting many events' destinies.
If Harvey's guess was correct, making Tony Stark embrace the Void and join it could yield a substantial amount of Void Energy.
To spread the will of the Void, Harvey realized he needed to adjust his approach.
He needed to step outside and face the world, spreading the will of the Void, and he needed a credible identity to make people believe.
Starting a school and becoming its principal could be a way to spread the will of the Void to ordinary people.
However, there were drawbacks to starting such a venture. The will of the Void could be perceived as a cult by the FBI.
Despite this, being labeled a cult by the FBI didn't worry Harvey. He had no fear of the FBI posing a threat.
His concern was being targeted by beings like the Ancient One or even Odin.
Although the Marvel Universe hadn't reached that time yet, Asgardian gods were already observing various situations.
If things got too out of hand, it might attract the attention of Asgardian gods or even Odin himself.
Moreover, he didn't know if followers of the Void would gain strange powers.
If they did, it might involve magic, which could attract the attention of the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One.
With his current strength, facing Odin and the Ancient One was a challenge. While Harvey could confidently rely on the Void for self-preservation and retreat, he wasn't sure of winning a direct confrontation.
If things went wrong, the Ancient One and Odin could cause significant trouble, making spreading the will of the Void difficult, and he would need to hide.
He would wait until he evolved enough to stand up to the Ancient One or Odin before taking more significant actions.
So, Harvey shelved the idea of starting a school and recruiting students to spread the will of the Void on a large scale.
Additionally, the system said that attracting powerful or influential beings would yield more Void Energy.
With this in mind, Harvey decided to make subtle moves to attract influential figures.
He thought that spreading the Void on a large scale and accumulating Void Energy might be easier once he could freely travel between Earth and other planets in the universe.
Harvey wasn't in a hurry; he had a long lifespan.
If he was careful and waited until Odin and the Ancient One were gone, he could begin his plans more freely.
After all, Odin and the Ancient One wouldn't live for many more years.
Of course, ideally, Harvey would bring both Odin and the Ancient One into the fold of the Void's faith, but he realized that achieving this would be incredibly challenging.
The Ancient One awaited her successor, Doctor Strange, to grow and then would die to solidify Strange's path to becoming the Sorcerer Supreme.
As for Odin, as a god-king who had battled across the cosmos and defeated countless foes, his pride was immense. It would be a miracle if he even considered faith in the Void.
If Odin and the Ancient One didn't die soon, Harvey was confident he could eventually make them submit to his power and worship the Void after evolving thousands of times.
Unfortunately, neither the Ancient One nor Odin had many years left.
