Peter, who was in the Osborn Biotechnology laboratory, looked at Hawk, who had just said "wait a moment" and then disappeared in front of him, finally realizing what had happened.
The next second.
Woosh!
Hawk, who had just disappeared, was already back, and he even brought two people with him.
Hank Pym and the original Wasp, Janet Van Dyne.
Peter looked at Hank Pym, whose hair was grey, face stern, and wearing glasses, and was momentarily stunned, then opened his mouth.
"You are…"
"This is Dr. Hank Pym, and this is Peter."
"Peter, this is Dr. Hank Pym, and this is his wife, Mrs. Janet Van Dyne."
Hawk quickly introduced them to each other, then turned to Peter and said, "You said you needed Pym particles, so I brought you Dr. Pym. How long will it take to send me to the Quantum Realm?"
This matter should not be delayed.
After realizing that the cosmos itself was deliberately concealing the probability of the 'Quantum Realm' from him, to prevent any mishaps, he must get to the Quantum Realm as soon as possible.
Although the Quantum Realm is not within the scope of the Main Multiverse, from a certain perspective, it has not detached from the Main Multiverse.
So...
Hawk was not at all worried about what might happen upon entering the Quantum Realm.
Phoenix Undying, only Nirvana.
As for what to do after entering the Quantum Realm to get back?
No matter.
First, enter the Quantum Realm; as for how to return, that's a problem for another time.
We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Peter looked at the anxious Hawk, "Hawk, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."
Hawk was expressionless.
"How long?"
"Uh…"
Peter opened his mouth, brainstorming, then looked at Hank Pym walking up to the Quantum Realm Locator Shuttle Device he'd built using funds sponsored by Felicia, and then glanced at Hawk, saying, "Wait a moment," before quickly rushing to Hank Pym's side.
Janet Van Dyne, who hadn't changed her last name, also glanced at the device Peter had assembled and then looked at Hawk with a somewhat advisory tone, "The Quantum Realm is not a good place, Mr. Phoenix, believe me, once inside, you will regret it."
Having lived in the Quantum Realm for who knows how many years, Janet Van Dyne was well aware of the horrors of the Quantum Realm.
But having only returned to the real universe for a week, Janet, the original Wasp, was not yet aware of Hawk's terrors.
Upon hearing this, Hawk looked at Janet, the original Wasp, who seemed to be advising him, and smiled slightly.
"Ms. Van Dyne, believe me, compared to the Black man you've encountered in the Quantum Realm, I'm even more terrifying."
"…"
Upon hearing Hawk's words, the eyes of Janet, the original Wasp, couldn't help but contract slightly, fixing her gaze on Hawk.
There is something in the Quantum Realm that original Wasp Janet fears.
Kang the Conqueror.
An image came to the mind of Janet, the original Wasp, of a bald Black man wearing a heavily scarred, ancient and oppressively emanating deep green bronze battle armor, expression calm, with an intensely penetrating gaze.
Looking at Hawk's upturned lips, Janet felt her mind falter somewhat.
"Have you… met him?"
"I haven't seen him."
Hawk glanced at Peter, who after meeting Hank Pym, was leading him to introduce his 'Quantum Locator Shuttle Device' and answered Janet, the original Wasp's question, "But I know of him, a failure, a prisoner exiled to the Quantum Realm."
Exactly.
A prisoner.
Kang the Conqueror, who was in the Quantum Realm, is indeed just a prisoner.
It is widely known.
Multiverse, many Earths, many selves.
Kang the Conqueror from the 31st century of a certain Multiverse found out about the existence of the Multiverse, and as expected, was absorbed into the already established 'Kang Council'.
Kang the Conqueror initially learned technical knowledge from other Kangs, but there's never a wrong nickname.
As a conqueror, how could Kang choose to peacefully coexist with other Kangs?
He had a plan; he wanted to eliminate all the other Kangs in the Multiverse to become the only Kang the Conqueror.
Hawk actually could understand Kang the Conqueror.
Truly.
Because the moment he came in contact with the Multiverse, he also thought about wiping out the Hawks from other Multiverses.
After all, when countrymen meet, there's a stab in the back.
But this thought vanished in an instant.
The reason is simple.
Hawk is not special.
The Transverser Hawk is the only special one; as for the rest in other Multiverses, those Hawks are also Hawks, but just Hawks.
So!
Hawk didn't concern himself too much with the Hawks of the Multiverse; after all, they are just Hawks.
Getting sidetracked.
In short, Kang the Conqueror wants to become the only one.
What a pity!
His insane plan was detected by the other Kang members, and then the members of the "Kang Council" believed that this Conqueror Kang threatened the existence of the entire Multiverse. So they united and defeated him, choosing to permanently imprison the Conqueror.
The Quantum Realm served as a cage, and moreover, it was a natural and perfect prison.
Without specific technology, such as Pym particles or scientific methods for Multiverse travel, the Quantum Realm is almost impossible to enter and almost impossible to escape. For the Conqueror Kang, who had his multiverse travel device destroyed, the Quantum Realm is a one-way cage.
Hawk knew the story of the Conqueror Kang because he had seen the movie.
The original Wasp knew the Conqueror Kang because she had contacted him while in the Quantum Realm, and almost managed to repair his multiverse travel device.
However, at the last moment, the original Wasp discovered the true nature of the Conqueror Kang and secretly implanted an energy damper into the energy core of Kang's ship, once again destroying Conqueror Kang's energy core.
But...
Hawk is not interested in the Conqueror Kang of the Quantum Realm.
His trip was solely to travel across the Multiverse, venture to other universes, and completely blast open the portal to the Eighth Sense, allowing him to transcend above the Cosmos and find a way to the 828 Cosmos to bring back his wife.
So!
He is not interested in the Conqueror Kang of the Quantum Realm, and to be precise, he is not interested in any Kang.
No matter which Kang it is, even if it's the one who created the Sacred Timeline, if he dares to come, to Hawk, it's just a punch, at most two punches.
After all, the Sacred Timeline?
Hawk has his own timeline.
After he understood the Seventh Sense and contracted his time, his time belongs to him alone. No one can pass through his time to create trouble for him.
"Peter!"
After exchanging a look with the original Wasp Janet, Hawk smiled slightly, turned around, and called out to Peter, who seemed to have forgotten why he brought Hank Pym over and was already discussing academic matters with Hank Pym.
Peter turned his head to look at Hawk.
Hawk's tone was calm.
"How long?"
"Three hours."
It was Hank Pym who spoke, not Peter.
Hank Pym, with an amazed look, looked at the device Peter had tinkered with, which was smaller and consumed less energy than the device he built to go to the Quantum Realm. Then he said to Hawk, "Dr. Parker's 'Quantum Positioning Shuttle Device' is remarkable. It just needs to be equipped with Pym particles to start."
Hawk raised an eyebrow and looked at Hank Pym's right pocket without speaking.
Hank Pym took out two vials of Pym particles from his right pocket: "These are Pym particles, but they're not suitable for this device. I need to return to my lab to reconfigure the required Pym particles according to Dr. Parker's parameters."
"Then let's go." Hearing this, Hawk said, and with a thought, he teleported Hank Pym and the original Wasp back to San Francisco. As he prepared to follow them, just in case, he suddenly paused and looked at Peter: "Dr. Parker?"
Peter shrugged: "I invited you to my thesis defense two months ago, and you went off to the Cosmos."
Hawk raised an eyebrow, remembered, and then said nothing more, his figure disappearing from the spot.
Soon.
Three hours later.
Hawk took over four freshly made vials of Pym particles from Dr. Pym's hands, specially configured for Peter's 'Quantum Positioning Shuttle Device.'
Dr. Hank Pym removed his glasses: "Remember, one for going, one for returning. If you lose them, you'll be trapped in the Quantum Realm forever."
Hawk listened to Dr. Hank Pym's words and nodded.
"Thank you, Dr. Pym. I owe you a favor. Anytime, you can come to me to claim this favor."
"I will, Mr. Phoenix."
"Goodbye."
Hawk, on hearing this, shook hands with Hank Pym, then turned around and instantly disappeared from Dr. Pym's laboratory.
When Hawk returned to Peter's lab, Peter, who had been waiting in the lab, got up from the sofa the moment Hawk appeared.
"Pym particles?"
"Here."
Hawk directly tossed two vials of Pym particles to Peter: "With these, how much longer will it take?"
Peter took the two vials of Pym particles and walked towards the 'Quantum Positioning Shuttle Device' he had built: "Wait a moment, no more than an hour."
Saying no more than an hour meant no more than an hour.
Fifty-nine minutes later.
Peter handed a watch to Hawk: "Protect this watch well. If you lose it, you might not be able to return."
Hawk took the watch, looked at the modified watch with two vials of Pym particles inside as well, then put it on, and looked towards the stage of the 'Quantum Positioning Shuttle Device': "Should I go directly on top?"
Peter nodded: "This device hasn't been tested yet. Wouldn't you want to find someone to test the safety of it first, just in case..."
Before he finished speaking.
Hawk had already run up to the stage and stood ready.
"No need, let's do it."
"...Put on the protective suit."
Peter's mouth twitched as he looked at the lightly dressed Hawk rising up: "Please, this is an experiment. If something goes wrong, you could be compressed into atomic form in an instant."
Hawk looked calmly at Peter.
"Phoenix Undying, so I won't die. Just do it, quickly!"
"Shit."
Hearing this, Peter, helplessly, pressed a button next to him.
The next moment!
Boom!!!
Hawk's figure instantly disappeared from the stage!!!
