Chapter 869

But because of the clothes the two were wearing.

As everyone knows.

The Fantastic Four is Marvel's most unique superhero team.

A fake family: the Avengers.

A real family: the Fantastic Four.

After the Fantastic Four gained public recognition, Mr. Fantastic, that is, Reed Richards, designed a set of suits unique to them, and they all put them on; whether it was their building or their vehicles, they all bore prominent insignias.

Four.

So...

After Hawk saw the "4" insignia on Reed Richards' and Susan Storm's clothes, he knew almost instantly who these two were.

He wasn't saying this to brag, but to warn.

Another fact!

Where there are superheroes, there are supervillains.

Although Hawk was very confident that, before he died, the Gewen Society would live well, not even a single hair would be harmed.

But as the saying goes.

Better safe than sorry.

Although after his projection descended, seeing Gwen with the Fantastic Four, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

But relief aside, the necessary warning still had to be given.

"Reed Richards, known as the smartest person in this world, mutated after encountering cosmic rays, and is called Mr. Fantastic by the people of this Earth."

"Susan Storm, Reed Richards' wife, nicknamed the Invisible Woman, can control light waves to make herself and others invisible, but your power is not limited to this; you simply haven't unlocked it yet."

"Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, can generate flames that surround his entire body and use them to fly; he is Susan Storm's brother."

"Ben Grimm, the Thing, whose body has become a massive form made of orange rock, possessing superhuman strength and endurance, though he is in pain, after all, he is disfigured."

"You are my wife's friends, so you will also be my friends."

"My true form cannot descend here for the time being."

"So, please take good care of my wife."

"This is a request."

"Of course, you can also consider this a warning from me to your Earth."

"If anything happens to my wife in this universe, even if I know she shed a single tear, the moment my true form descends, your Earth will enter oblivion along with your universe."

Hawk looked calmly at Reed Richards and Susan Storm before him, and after calmly reciting some basic information about the Fantastic Four, he spoke straight to the point; feeling Gwen frowning beside him, he shifted his tone, let out a laugh, then extended his right hand toward Reed Richards: "I like to get the unpleasant things out of the way first, so, nice to meet you, Hawk Phoenix; you can call me Hawk."

Reed Richards, who had been somewhat displeased hearing Hawk's god-like proclamation, looked at the right hand appearing before him, then at the faint smile on Hawk's face; after pausing for a few seconds, he reached out and loosely clasped Hawk's projected right hand.

"Reed Richards; just call me Reed."

"Susan!"

Seeing this, Susan Storm on the side looked at the right hand Hawk extended toward her, introduced herself, then asked with some curiosity: "That galaxy fifty-eight billion light-years away, is it truly yours?"

Hawk smiled slightly: "When my true form descends, I can take you to admire my universe."

Upon hearing this, Susan smiled.

"I look forward to it."

"I must go."

Hawk then looked at his wife Gwen beside him: "The energy burning in this galaxy is nearly exhausted; I'm sorry, I broke my promise."

He had originally planned to bring Gwen back before she gave birth.

But...

Plans change faster than expected.

"However, I won't make you wait too long."

"Perhaps I'll find my way home first, who knows?"

Gwen wasn't angry that Hawk had broken his promise; hearing his words, she smiled and said: "Don't forget, I have this ability."

Hawk knew Gwen was referring to finding him deep in the forest; he laughed: "Alright, let's see who finds whom first this time?"

Gwen tilted her head.

"Is there a reward?"

"Of course there is."

"What?"

"As long as you say it, I'll agree to anything."

"If I can't find you, won't you agree then?"

"..."

The smile on Hawk's face froze.

Gwen beamed: "I'm just teasing you; don't worry, Hawk. Susan and Reed treat me well, and the knowledge here differs somewhat from ours; I'm doing quite well, though my father might have some opinions about you."

Hawk raised an eyebrow.

"George."

"Dad has said more than once that once we return, he'll empty an entire box of bullets at you."

"I'll let him shoot; I guarantee I won't fight back."

Hearing this, Hawk's tone turned serious.

George's anger was understandable, because no matter how you looked at it, Hawk had taken Gwen away from George.

The result...

They had been married for less than two months; good heavens, now they were living apart.

No.

It should be living on different spheres, and moreover, while Gwen was pregnant, and moreover, because of him.

So don't even talk about George emptying a box of bullets at him; even if George brought a nuclear bomb to blow himself up, he would guarantee he wouldn't resist.

Admit the mistake, stand straight when beaten.

Of course.

Only this one time.

Hawk said as much, then, feeling the energy about to run dry, gazed tenderly at Gwen.

"Wait for me."

"Okay."

Hearing these words, Gwen's eyes also gazed tenderly at Hawk, and she smiled, responding with a single sound.

The next second.

Under the gaze of Gwen, Susan, and Reed, Hawk's figure gradually became transparent; with the disappearance of the last wisp of Phoenix Fire, Hawk's figure and aura vanished completely.

At the same time.

In the Phoenix Galaxy, fifty-eight billion light-years away, the projection of the Wutong World Tree vanished, and the entire Phoenix Galaxy, like a Phoenix folding its wings, seemed to enter a state of slumber.

Once again.

Hawk's Phoenix Universe Power could not project into this universe; naturally, the Phoenix Galaxy manifested in this universe also fell into slumber due to the loss of Hawk's power.

However...

The Phoenix Galaxy has already been lit; as long as Hawk's true body can break through the multiverse and descend here, his power will seamlessly connect and be brought here as well.

Just after Hawk's figure vanished from the apartment living room, vanishing from Gwen's sight, Gwen suddenly raised her willow eyebrows, as if thinking of something.

"Oh no, I forgot to ask him if he watered my flowers while I was away."

"..."

Reed and Susan, who had initially thought she forgot something major upon Gwen's exclamation, upon hearing this, once again found themselves exchanging glances.

Yet, because of Gwen's words, the two were pulled out of the state of overwhelming pressure that existed even with Hawk's projection descending.

"I'm going to the lab."

Reed recovered first, said a few words, and then walked out of the apartment.

Susan looked at the two little ones in Gwen's arms, then looked at Gwen: "So, William and Bella?"

Gwen nodded, looking down at little William and little Bella in the swaddling clothes: "Yes, they are named William and Bella; these are the names their daddy gave them."

Susan responded with a sound, then smiled and said: "Very nice names."

Gwen looked up at Susan, pouted: "If he had arrived just ten minutes later, his right to name them would truly be gone."

Hearing Gwen's words, seeing the happy smile on Gwen's face, Susan smiled, did not take the words seriously, chatted with Gwen for a while, and then also left the apartment.

By the time she took the elevator and arrived at the lab, she found that not only was Reed there, but her brother Johnny and Ben were already there as well.

Baxter Building is not only the headquarters of their Fantastic Four; similarly, they all live inside this building.

Reed was currently at the control console, arms crossed, watching the energy detection interface projected by the intelligent system.

Susan walked towards the group.

"How is it?"

"Very strong."

Reed looked at the approaching Susan: "If that energy just now had been aimed at Earth, Earth would have been destroyed in an instant."

While speaking, Reed had the system demonstrate the scene of the Phoenix Fire raiding Earth, with Earth turning to dust in the blink of an eye.

Susan watched the demonstration scene, thought for a moment, then looked at Reed.

"So, he didn't lie; he only needs one second to destroy us."

"Yes."

Reed spoke in a deep voice, a trace of worry flickering in the depths of his eyes.

As everyone knows.

Smart and arrogant people have another common trait.

That is, they always feel that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, as if Earth would stop turning without them.

Take Tony, for example.

The Hulkbuster armor was what Tony tinkered out to prevent the Hulk from destroying Earth.

Then there is the Anti-Phoenix armor.

Yes.

Although Tony didn't admit it, Hawk knew very well that Tony borrowing his Black Phoenix Dark Robe was to see if he could develop an Anti-Phoenix armor.

However, since Tony didn't admit it, Hawk didn't ask.

First, it wasn't necessary.

Second.

Well.

Hawk actually quite wanted to know, even one could say he was somewhat eager to know, if Tony could really develop the Anti-Phoenix armor.

So...

Even Tony was like this.

Regarded as the smartest person in this world, and moreover, Reed Richards, who had not yet received a beating, now looked at the Earth destroyed in one second within the projection, and couldn't help but ask himself one thing.

If!
