Chapter 858

123 Westview.

In the living room.

Hawk, who had received news from his daughter Jean, was now leaning on the sofa, listening to the spider-spirit Peter, who was sitting to the side and seemed to have become somewhat talkative after a trip to the multiverse, excitedly telling him about things on that multiverse Earth.

Wanda and Pietro were also listening to Peter tell about things on another Earth to the side.

Actually, there wasn't much to tell.

"On that Earth, there was no you, no Gwen, and similarly, no Wanda, Pietro, Tony Stark, or organizations like S. H. I. E. L. D."

"I don't even know how I got over there."

Peter, after finishing telling about things on the other Earth with some excitement, frowned and looked at Hawk: "And I also don't know how we came back."

Clearly, they didn't feel anything at all.

But...

They had indeed returned, and very smoothly at that; one second they were still discussing how to find the Quantum Realm, the next second they heard the news about Tony Stark.

This was very magical.

Wanda also felt it was very magical: "Peter, you said you went to another Earth for these three months, but in our memories, it seems you never left."

Peter looked at Wanda.

"Time reset."

"Time reset?"

"Yeah."

Peter nodded: "After Felicia and I suddenly arrived at that Earth, we had many strange memories, but when Felicia and I saw the necklace Hawk gave to Little Ben, we remembered Hawk, and only then did we discover the clues."

Wanda, hearing this, frowned slightly and looked at Hawk, who was sitting to the side without speaking.

"Our memories were replaced?"

"It wasn't your memories that were replaced, but time."

"Time was replaced again."

Hawk shook his head and laughed speechlessly.

When Earth previously completely merged into the main universe, time vibrated, modifying Earth's time once.

But at that time, Earth merged into the time of the main universe, but accurately speaking, it was the time after the Celestial Gress took over the nest.

Now that the Celestial Gress had left this universe, the true time of the main universe returned.

Once again.

A new dynasty, a new atmosphere.

A new timeline, new memories.

Wanda heard the key point in Hawk's words.

"Again? Was time replaced before?"

"Yes."

"When?"

"Remember Doctor Strange?"

"That mage who wears a cloak and insists on being called Doctor?"

The figure of Doctor Strange appeared in Wanda's mind.

Hawk nodded.

"The previous Sorcerer Supreme was the Ancient One. When Doctor Strange took over, after Earth completely cut ties with the World Tree, time had been reset once."

"I didn't feel it."

"Normal."

Hawk looked at Wanda, who was frowning: "Your time is within the torrent of the universe's time; naturally, you wouldn't be able to detect any anomalies."

Wanda, hearing this, seemed to have thought of something and looked at Hawk.

"Didn't Gwen also... go to a multiverse Earth? According to this statement, then I shouldn't have any memories of Gwen either."

"Wait!"

Peter to the side, hearing this, looked at Hawk: "Gwen also went to a multiverse Earth?"

Hawk nodded.

Peter was shocked.

"What's going on?"

"It's a long story."

Hawk shook his head and smiled, then looked at Wanda, explaining the question Wanda just asked: "The reason you still remember Gwen is because Gwen is irreplaceable."

In a word.

His Gwen is irreplaceable.

Hawk's time had long been tightly entangled with Gwen; Gwen existed at every time node in Hawk's past that could be called a node.

So...

It's not that time didn't want to erase all memories of Gwen's existence.

But it couldn't.

Because if it really did that, it would have to return to Hawk a Gwen to replace Gwen's existence at his important time nodes.

Could it find this person to replace Gwen? Not to mention that Hawk's time was already independent of this universe.

It couldn't.

So, it might be able to transfer Gwen to some multiverse Earth, but it couldn't erase the traces of Gwen's existence, which is also the reason why Hawk's and Gwen's friends still remember Gwen.

"Unlike Peter."

"He was replaced."

"A little spider who is also called Peter Parker."

Hawk said, and in his eyes, the red light of the Reality Stone flashed, and then projected the image of the Holland-Spider into the living room.

Wanda felt a stir in her heart when she saw the Holland-Spider being projected.

"I seem to have some impression of him."

"Is this me?"

Peter also looked at the projected Holland-Spider, froze for a moment, his expression somewhat stunned: "How old am I here?"

Hawk smiled.

"Fourteen."

"I didn't mutate until I was sixteen."

"This one was earlier."

"Alright."

Peter opened his mouth, looking at the projected little spider: "Then Aunt May..."

Hawk raised an eyebrow, the projected image changed, and Holland-Spider's Aunt May appeared.

Instantly.

A sound of a shocked intake of breath rang out in the living room.

Wanda and Pietro looked in unison at Peter, who seemed to want to sweep the air in the living room clean.

Peter wasn't very shocked when he saw himself younger, but after looking at the projected Aunt May, he was completely shocked.

"This is Aunt May."

"Yes."

Hawk turned up the corners of his mouth, looked at his friend Peter, and teased: "Envious?"

Peter came back to his senses, looked at Hawk, whose mouth was turned up, and shook his head: "I'm not envious, I just feel somewhat unbelievable."

Hawk smiled slightly.

"Multiverse, you know; there are different yous, and naturally there are different Aunt Mays."

"But my multiverse doesn't have you guys."

"Also very normal."

Hawk's tone was calm: "The vast universe, you know; everyone is different."

Peter, hearing this, nodded and looked at Hawk: "Then have you thought of how to find Gwen back?"

Hawk shook his head: "Haven't thought it through yet."

Once again.

It's not that there are no ways to travel through the multiverse, it's just that he hasn't found a suitable way yet.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Although the time trap had disappeared now, what if it was an illusion?

Knowing there are tigers on the mountain, yet heading toward the tiger mountain—this isn't impossible, it's just that this is only the final, desperate choice that has to be made.

Hawk is not short on time.

Still the same sentence: even if Gwen was taken by the Celestials and hidden in some multiverse, the Celestials wouldn't dare to touch a single hair of Gwen's.

As long as he is alive, Gwen is safe.

So...

Before he can find a way to travel to the multiverse that completely avoids time, comprehending the Eighth Sense of life as soon as possible is Hawk's only choice at the moment.

Hawk thought in his heart, then shifted the topic about Gwen, looked at Peter, and said with a smile: "I'm very happy you could come back, Peter."

Peter looked at the smile on Hawk's face: "Thank you."

He suppressed the conjecture in his heart about the Quantum Realm connecting to the multiverse.

After all, he didn't know if his conjecture about the Quantum Realm was really correct; what if he said it, and in the end, it was fake? Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?

So he planned to verify it himself; if it succeeded, it wouldn't be too late to tell Hawk then.

Soon.

Wanda, who had just heard the oven ding, left the sofa, walked out of the kitchen side, and brought out the baked pastries from the oven, saw this: "Peter, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? Let's eat together."

Peter came back to his senses and looked at Wanda, who was inviting him.

Just as he was about to speak, Hawk had already pulled him up: "Since you're here, eat before you go."

Peter was helpless and was pulled by Hawk to the dining room.

Hawk took the bread slice with sauce spread on it handed over by Wanda, took a casual bite, and then his expression paused, looking at the sauce on the bread slice.

"This sauce..."

"Gwen taught me. Is the taste wrong? I made it according to the card Gwen gave me."

Wanda, after giving the cut bread slice to Peter, said while looking at Hawk.
