At this moment, Reed Richards had only one thought in his mind!
Use his brilliant mind to study the Multiverse, find a way to travel through it, and then quickly send Gwen away before she inadvertently causes an extinction-level crisis in their universe.
In short.
Whether or not they can send her back, at least don't let her stay on their Earth.
Gwen could read Reed Richards' thoughts through his expression.
After all...
The smarter the person, the more they appear completely arrogant.
Tony is like that.
And so is this Reed Richards in front of her.
Smart and arrogant, and such people don't hide their expressions before they've taken a hit.
But Tony is slightly better than Reed Richards.
Because Tony had taken a hit before.
And it was a backstab from his own godfather, but since then, Tony has changed somewhat.
But...
Gwen didn't mind what Reed Richards thought, as long as he could understand the Multiverse.
After all, she studied biology, and although she knows a bit about physics, her understanding of the Multiverse might not even surpass Peter's.
That's why she came to Reed Richards.
If you can't do it yourself, find the professionals.
There's no shame in that.
As for worrying about dangers?
She's not an idiot, and she has money; the reason she only came to Reed Richards now is that she spent money on several professional detective agencies to do a detailed background check on him.
To sum it up in one sentence.
Reed Richards is a Tony Stark-style Superhero.
Smart.
Arrogant.
But nothing's wrong with him; Reed Richards, along with his wife, brother-in-law, and The Thing from the Fantastic Four, have resolved many world-class crises and indeed enjoy a good reputation in this world.
After making all these confirmations, Gwen came to find Reed Richards.
Although she really wanted to test whether Hawk could again descend from the sky to rescue her when she was in danger.
But...
She couldn't.
Because she wasn't alone now, she was three people.
After being set up in a 90-square-meter luxury apartment on the upper floors of the Baxter Building by Reed Richards, Gwen looked around and then glanced at her three-month pregnant belly, smiling: "It's pretty nice here, you guys like it too, right?"
Invisible Woman Susan Storm, who led Gwen to visit the apartment, was slightly taken aback when she heard Gwen suddenly touch her belly and say this, then realized.
"Dr. Phoenix... "
"Just call me Gwen."
Gwen looked up and smiled at Susan Storm.
Susan nodded upon hearing this.
"Gwen, are you... pregnant?"
"Yes."
"Hiss!"
Susan gasped in disbelief, but offered her congratulations: "Congratulations."
Gwen beamed, said thank you, then looked at Susan: "Before I came, I checked online for information about you. I know you've married Dr. Richards. Do you plan to have children?"
Susan's expression dimmed.
Gwen noticed.
"Sorry, if you don't want to answer that question, you can...
"No."
Susan shook her head, smiled faintly, and looked at Gwen: "We both have experienced cosmic ray storms, and the hospital tests say our chances of getting pregnant are very slim."
Slim, but actually infinitely close to zero.
Gwen blinked upon hearing this.
"Can I see your test reports?"
"Uh..."
Susan looked at Gwen.
Gwen shrugged, looking at Susan: "Although my only achievement in this world is the Regenerative Potion, in my world, my teacher was Dr. Helen Zhao, one of the smartest people in our world, and I come from another Earth. Maybe I can help you."
Susan's eyes lit up.
"Really, Gwen?"
"I can give it a try."
"I'll go get the reports now."
Susan couldn't sit still any longer, she said as she turned and walked out.
Gwen looked at the hurriedly departing Susan, smiled slightly, then lowered her gaze, and gently stroked her belly, feeling the life growing inside.
"I forgot to ask your dad to name you before I left."
"I hope to find a way home before you are born."
But that's impossible.
Even though Reed Richards is the smartest person in this world.
But this is the Multiverse after all.
It's important to know that before Gwen took out that diamond ring from the star, even Reed Richards was skeptical about Gwen's claim that she came from the Multiverse.
And Gwen has already been pregnant for over three months.
So...
Even after six months, even Dr. Reed Richards, the smartest person in the world, had to admit that research on the Multiverse is not something that can be done overnight.
But there is good news.
The good news is that Reed Richards has also concluded through extensive calculations that there is a Quantum Realm existing in the endless Multiverse.
Bad news.
How to enter the Quantum Realm, this is a time-consuming question.
Originally, Reed Richards planned to have an uneventful day and continue his research on the Quantum Realm.
But the Earth United Government called, saying that some unscientific phenomena had appeared in the cosmos.
"About eight months ago, we observed several stars in the universe."
"They appeared so suddenly, as if they just popped up over there in the blink of an eye."
"But they were very far away from us, and it wasn't until an hour ago that Voyager captured this image."
Reed Richards looked at the image projected on the big screen, frowning deeply, then looked at the image taken at the same spot half a month ago.
And in the photo from a month ago, this galaxy did not exist.
"A galaxy that appeared abruptly?"
"Yes."
"But what is most shocking is this."
The science officer of the United Government then replaced the photo on the projection.
"Based on current observations, those suddenly appearing celestial bodies seem to have emerged from here."
"..."
Reed Richards looked at the projected photo, instinctively glancing at the government science officer, hoping to see a hint of a joke in his expression.
But…
The science officer's expression was serious, nodding in response to his gaze.
Reed Richards was shocked.
"That's impossible."
"It has already happened, Dr. Richards."
The science officer said in a serious tone, then looked at Reed Richards: "Fortunately, it's at a distance, so we still have time to figure it out. Hopefully, we have time to understand exactly what's going on."
Reed Richards spoke in a deep voice.
"How far from us?"
"5.8 billion light-years."
"..."
Listening to the science officer's words, Reed Richards once again looked at the officer, hoping to see a joking expression.
Once more,
he was disappointed.
More than eight months ago.
5.8 billion light-years.
An abruptly appearing galaxy.
Reed Richards, carrying the information obtained from the United Government building, thought about it as he walked into the elevator.
He felt he could connect something but couldn't grasp it at the moment.
Just then.
Ding!
The elevator doors opened.
"Reed!"
"Hey, Sue..."
"Gwen is going into labor."
Just as he stepped out of the elevator, seeing his wife Susan and ready to greet her, Reed was interrupted by Susan, who walked past him without even looking and headed towards the apartment on the same floor where Gwen was.
Gwen had chosen to give birth in the Baxter Building instead of in a hospital.
However, the professional team she had carefully selected a month ago had already arrived on site to assist her in giving birth at the first moment.
So, there's no need to worry about safety.
The reason for not going to the hospital is simple.
Gwen was a bit worried.
Worried about what? She couldn't quite say, but she remembered Hawk's words: It's better to be safe than sorry, and it's always good to be prepared for any eventuality.
Compared to the unfamiliar hospitals of this world, the Baxter Building, where Reed Richards and the Fantastic Four were, made Gwen feel more at ease.
After all, it's the base of upright superheroes.
Helen was already in Gwen's room at this moment.
She also hadn't lost her memory and still remembered Hawk, the son-in-law she was very pleased with.
Similarly,
Helen had a good mentality, like Gwen, accepting the situation as it was. Because of Gwen's financial freedom, for the past few months Helen had been exploring like a tourist, talking every night to George, who also hadn't lost his memory, about what differences she found between the New York City here and the New York City they remembered.
George's mentality was alright too.
Besides waiting for the time to give Hawk a box of bullets after they returned, he had no other major disturbances, still hanging around in the New York Police Department here.
Doing what he loved and sticking to his old profession, his marksmanship wouldn't deteriorate. When the time came, he could more accurately deliver a box of bullets to Hawk.
When Susan arrived, George was waiting in the living room.
George was pacing back and forth in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room.
Outside the window, in the distant sky, seemed to be a layer of fiery clouds.
The sky seemed to be dyed red as if by a massive fire.
At this moment!
A scream from Gwen was already coming from the room.
"Ah!"
"I don't want to do this anymore, I don't want to give birth."
"That damned Hawk, did you know giving birth hurts this much, so you deliberately didn't show up? I won't let you go."
"Push, push!"
"It hurts."
"Push harder."
"I don't want to do this anymore, ah!"
Gwen, lying on the bed, shouted, looking at her mom Helen beside her: "When we get back, I must give Hawk a good beating. It's him who wanted a child, and now he's not even... ah!"
In her words, Gwen's waist involuntarily arched, letting out a long scream.
The next second.
"Wah!"
"..."
