Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 409 Gwen and the Fantastic Four (Third Update!!!)

In the top-floor office of the Baxter Building.

As the elevator doors opened.

Gwen followed the woman leading the way out of the elevator, and then she saw Reed Richards, who was known as Mr. Fantastic by the people of this world.

He was hailed as a child prodigy from a young age, and graduated from world-renowned universities such as Caltech, Harvard University, Columbia University, and Imperial State University, holding doctoral degrees in multiple fields including engineering, mathematics, and physics.

During a space experiment, an accident occurred, which gave him superpowers. His body has extremely strong extensibility and elasticity, and can be stretched and deformed at will.

He looks quite like Bruce Banner.

They were all mutated due to exposure to cosmic rays.

Gwen looked at Reed Richards sitting behind his desk, recalling the information she had seen about him, and thought to herself.

Just as Gwen was looking at Reed Richards, he was also looking at Gwen.

After the woman who brought Gwen here left the office.

Reed Richards spoke.

"Stacy..."

Phoenix.

"Ok?"

“I am married, and my husband’s last name is Phoenix.”

Gwen solemnly corrected Reed Richards's incorrect title.

Hawke was her choice.

She never regretted it.

Reed Richards looked at Gwen's serious face, glanced at her information on the computer, and then chuckled: "The information says you're unmarried."

Gwen smiled and said, "No, I'm married."

talking.

She showed off her wedding ring.

Reed Richards nodded thoughtfully.

"May I ask what Mr. Phoenix's full name is...?"

"Hook Phoenix".

Gwen uttered Hawke's name, then looked at Reed Richards, who was turning to the computer: "You can't find him. I've tried. He's not in this world."

Reed Richards looked at the "no such person" screen, then at Gwen.

"Marriage fraud?"

Just as Reed Richards had this thought in mind, Gwen seemed to already know what he was thinking: "Hawk is real, he just doesn't exist in this universe, because I'm not from this universe either."

Reed Richards remained silent.

His first reaction was that Gwen was a madwoman.

but……

Would someone who gets a PhD at the age of twenty be crazy?
This is impossible.

and so!
Reed Richards adjusted his posture, then placed his hands on the table and looked at Gwen.

"please say."

"My encounter with Hawke was at Midtown High School..."

Gwen slowly recounted her encounter with Hawke, their growing acquaintance and love, and how, suddenly, time shifted and the world changed.

Well known.

Reed Richards holds numerous doctoral degrees, including one in psychology.

So while Gwen was telling her story, he kept watching the expression on her face.

After Gwen finished speaking, he also came to a conclusion.

Either Gwen has completely gone mad.

Either Gwen is telling the truth, and she is not from this Earth, but from an Earth in a multiverse.

former?
Reed Richards couldn't see any of the characteristics of a madman in Gwen.

But a multiverse?
Even Reed Richards, hailed as the world's smartest man, couldn't help but frown and utter a question.

“Stella… Dr. Phoenix, you say you are not from this world, but from the multiverse. So, how do you prove it?”

"this."

Gwen raised her right hand, the wedding ring on her finger gleaming with an eerie light.

She slowly removed her wedding ring from her finger and placed it on the table under Reed Richards' gaze.

"this?"

"Yes, you can try picking it up, Dr. Richards."

As Gwen spoke, she made an inviting gesture to Reed Richards.

Reed Richards looked at Gwen's expression, chuckled, and then reached for Gwen's wedding ring, which was on the table.

but……

Didn't move.

Ok?
Reed Richards stared at the ring, which remained completely still despite his grasp, and paused for a moment before instinctively looking at the ring that lay quietly on the table.

pity!

Even with both hands, Reed Richards was unable to remove Gwen's wedding ring from the table.

Reed Richards gave up and looked at Gwen.

Gwen smiled, then, under Reed Richards's gaze, lifted the ring off the table with two fingers and put it back on.

Reed Richards got started.

The ring, once again, remained completely still.

"This……"

“This wedding ring was a gift from my husband on our honeymoon.” Gwen smiled. “It’s made of a diamond star, so this ring weighs as much as a planet and belongs to me alone. I think this is proof enough.”

This is a very simple operation.

Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, weighs as much as a planet.

The only difference is that Odin used a planet to make his hammer, while Hawk used a diamond planet to make Gwen's wedding ring.

What is the weight of a planet?

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Reed Richards instinctively glanced at Gwen, then at the wedding ring on the table, and then back at Gwen.

Can I get tested?

"of course."

Gwen smiled and said, "I came here to gain the trust of the smartest person in the world, and then I hope Dr. Richards can help me find my way home."

Upon hearing this, Reed Richards' expression turned serious: "Mrs. Phoenix, if you really are from the multiverse, we will find a way to send you back."

Gwen rose from her chair and extended her right hand to Dr. Reed Richards.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

After shaking hands with Gwen and waiting for her to put her wedding ring back on, Reed Richards eagerly led her toward their laboratory.

after an hour.

The test report is out.

"hiss!"

The one drawing in the cold air is Ben Grimm, who was tall and strong before the space accident, but after the accident, he became a stone man whose body was made entirely of orange rock.

He stared at the test report in disbelief: "This is unscientific, the weight of this ring..."

Johnny Stone, a young and handsome man with short blond hair, crouched down and stared in disbelief at the ring in the glass case: "So this isn't a diamond ring, but a diamond planet?"

Johnny Stone's sister, Susan Stone, who is also Reed Richards' wife, asked in surprise, "How did you do that?"

Compressing a diamond planet into a diamond set in the palm of a ring?
Is this something humans can do?
Susan Stone glanced instinctively at Gwen beside her.

After reviewing the test results, Reed Richards had already reached a final confirmation in his mind, but he still looked at Gwen with one last question.

"Dr. Phoenix, one last question."

"Please speak, Dr. Richards."

"You come here and tell me you come from the multiverse, but haven't you ever considered that I might not be a good person, maybe even a bad one?"

Gwen listened to the question and smiled as she looked at Reed Richards.

My husband's name is Hawk Phoenix.

"so?"

“If anything happens to me in this universe, believe me, Dr. Richards, your Earth and your universe will be doomed. My husband, he has a really bad temper.”

This is the truth.

In some people's eyes, Hawke's temper can't even be described as bad; it can only be described as exploding at the slightest provocation.

Looking at Gwen's expression as she said this, Reed Richards thought of Hawk Phoenix, whom Gwen had mentioned before.

His intuition told him that Gwen was very serious when she said that.

If she were born in this universe, the entire universe would perish with her.

after all……

According to Gwen, her husband was sent here by the enraged universe itself because he was fighting with its own universe for another universe.

All that universe could do was move Gwen away from Hawke.

This!
Reed Richards looked at Gwen.

"The multiverse only exists in theory; we may need time to realize it."

"The thing I have plenty of right now is time."

Upon hearing this, Gwen extended her right hand to Reed Richards again: "And perhaps I can help."

Once again, even though she's on a different planet, it hasn't changed that Gwen is financially independent.

Although Osborn and Stark Industries are no longer here, the regeneration agent still exists, and it is also the result of Gwyn's research.

therefore……

She wasn't short of money; in fact, it's fair to say that Reed Richards met Gwen because he was after her money.

Unexpectedly, Gwen dropped this bombshell.

but!

Reed Richards pondered the unknown Hawk Phoenix mentioned in Gwen's words, his thoughts racing, before shaking hands with Gwen: "Welcome, Dr. Phoenix."

no way.

He didn't dare to gamble.

It's one thing to not know, but if we did know, what if something really happened to Gwen on this planet?

Gisserl.

Destroying you has nothing to do with you!

At best, it could lead to the extermination of the entire clan!

In severe cases, it could lead to the extinction of the species.

And it's fighting between one universe and another?
Reed Richards felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about Hawke from Gwen's words.

and so!
If Gwen really does something bad happen to them in their universe, it will no longer be a minor Earth crisis as before, but a catastrophic disaster that could bring their universe to its knees.

In a word!

Just in case, even if Gwen doesn't say anything, Reed Richards feels it's still necessary to keep Gwen under his watchful eye.
