Chapter 865

Helen looked at Gwen, who was acting like a mother hen protecting her chicks, thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Alright, let's go out first, you rest for a while."

After saying that.

Helen pulled George and left the room first.

After Helen and George had left, Gwen, leaning against the bed, looked down at the two little ones in the swaddling clothes—who had only cried a few times when they were first born, but had fallen asleep peacefully after she held them—and a beautiful curve formed at the corners of her mouth.

"Your stinky daddy didn't come."

"And he didn't think of names for you in advance either."

"So..."

"His naming rights have been revoked."

"Let me think, what should I call you."

Gwen, whose spirit had now recovered, looked at the two little ones she had given birth to with glowing eyes, as various names constantly surfaced in her mind.

But!

As everyone knows.

Naming is never a simple matter, especially since Gwen, despite saying she had revoked Hawk's naming rights, couldn't help but think about what kind of names Hawk would have chosen when thinking of names for her son and daughter.

As a result, by the time night fell and George and Helen left the Baxter Building, Gwen still hadn't decided on names for the two little ones.

"Knock, knock!"

"Come in."

Invisible Woman Susan pushed the door open and entered, seeing at first glance Gwen, who was currently sitting on the apartment sofa, holding the two little ones, and wearing fleece pajamas.

As everyone knows.

The concept of 'sitting the month' (postpartum confinement) does not exist in the West, and since the one who gave birth was Gwen, Hawk's Queen, she had already recovered as if nothing had happened after an afternoon of rest.

At this moment, Gwen was holding the two little ones while using the bracelet computer purchased from Xandar during their honeymoon to browse the meanings of various names online.

Gwen's eyes lit up when she saw Susan enter.

"Susan, have you and Reed thought about names for your two children?"

"Franklin."

Susan said without hesitation, sitting down beside Gwen and glancing at the two little ones in the swaddling clothes, who were being very well-behaved: "This is Reed's grandfather's name, so if we have children, Franklin."

Gwen smiled: "You and Reed will have them; you just need to repair the damaged reproductive genes."

Upon hearing this, Susan looked at Gwen with a face full of gratitude.

"Thank you, Gwen, if it weren't for you discovering it..."

"I only discovered that your and Reed's reproductive genes were broken, but I couldn't think of a way to repair them; it was Reed who thought of using my regenerative serum for gene repair."

Gwen interrupted Susan's words: "By the way, how is Reed's research on the gene repair serum going?"

Susan smiled: "He has already thought of a way and went to the laboratory after dinner. If nothing goes wrong, after injecting the gene repair serum, we will also be able to have our own children."

"That's fantastic."

Upon hearing this, Gwen offered her blessings and then invited: "I haven't thought of names for my two children yet, Susan, help me brainstorm."

Susan gladly accepted the invitation, and then the two women huddled together, looking at the meanings of various names projected by the bracelet computer.

And just as the two women were huddled together looking at names.

Reed Richards, who was concentrating on his experiment in the laboratory, received an alert from the intelligent system.

"Sir, there is a change in an unknown galaxy."

"Project it."

"Yes."

As the voice fell, the intelligent system instantly projected the map of the Phoenix Galaxy, which had abruptly appeared 5.8 billion light-years away, into the laboratory.

Reed Richards looked at it.

His expression...

Froze once again.

He looked at the image of the Phoenix Galaxy, which looked exactly like a towering giant tree no matter how he viewed it, and couldn't help but frown.

"Is this a tree?"

"It is not."

The intelligent system's voice was calm: "This is composed of gas..."

Reed interrupted: "I mean, it looks exactly like a tree, and look at this galaxy's image, doesn't it look a bit like a phoenix?"

The intelligent system was silent for a moment, then took a screenshot of the current Phoenix Galaxy, and immediately, the screenshot began to render.

Soon.

A giant tree in the universe, and a phoenix formed by the Phoenix Galaxy perched atop that giant canopy, were rendered by the intelligent system.

The tree towered into the sky.

The phoenix spread its wings.

"Hiss!"

Reed Richards couldn't help but gasp again after seeing this image rendered by the intelligent system.

"Did this change just happen?"

"Yes."

The intelligent system said as much, then seemed to detect something and instantly pulled up the real-time detection screen of the universe outside Earth: "Sir, detected an unknown energy entering the Milky Way, expected to enter the solar system in ten minutes, estimated energy trajectory..."

As the intelligent system's words fell, an image of the predicted energy trajectory appeared.

When the trajectory image froze.

World Tree!

Phoenix!

Phoenix.

Reed Richards, seeing that the predicted trajectory's landing point was right here, finally understood something; his pupils contracted, and he quickly turned and walked out of the laboratory.

Gwen, who was currently in the apartment, also discovered something wrong.

She looked at the wedding ring on her right finger, which was flickering like a heartbeat, and blinked.

Susan also noticed this scene.

Just as she was about to speak, a knock on the door sounded; Susan looked at Reed standing outside the door, said a word, and after Reed pushed the door open and entered, he also saw the wedding ring flickering on Gwen's finger.

Sure enough.

Reed thought to himself upon seeing this, then called out the intelligent system and pulled up the Phoenix Galaxy manifesting in the universe and the unknown energy approaching at high speed.

Susan looked at the rendered Phoenix Galaxy with her mouth wide open.

Gwen's spirit was lifted after hearing this.

"It's Hawk."

"Hawk is here."

And at the very moment Gwen's words fell.

A sharp cry rang out.

Gwen, Susan, and Reed subconsciously looked outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking up.

The dark starry sky was now illuminated in a crimson red; if one had a bit of imagination, it looked as if a phoenix was crossing the distance of 5.8 billion light-years, rushing toward Earth at high speed.

The next moment.

The brilliant red light grew stronger, ignoring Earth's atmosphere and the building's bulletproof glass, instantly submerging into the apartment living room where Gwen was.

Boom!

As the phoenix that had fallen into the apartment living room spread its wings, the phoenix fire extended, and the brilliant light caused Reed and Susan to subconsciously close their eyes.

Only Gwen.

She stared unblinkingly at the phoenix fire before her.

Watching—

That familiar figure gradually taking shape within the phoenix fire!
