When Hawk's bloodline let out its first cry in this universe.
At this moment, 5.8 billion light years away from Earth, there was originally a barren region in this part of the universe, but a star system suddenly emerged over eight months ago, and it has finally completed its evolution under the continuous transformation seemingly by the Phoenix's Eye.
With the first cry of Hawk and Gwen's bloodline on Earth.
The sound of clang resounded thoroughly at the center of the Phoenix Star System that had fully formed in this universe.
Bang!
Like a newborn Fire Phoenix stretching its wings, the Phoenix Fire rapidly swept across the entire Phoenix Star System.
At the same time.
Seemingly concerned about having no foothold, as soon as the Fire Phoenix stretched its wings, the projection of a tree slowly appeared beneath the Fire Phoenix.
The tree sprawled across, with what seemed like nine worlds slowly rotating on it.
And the Fire Phoenix stood atop the tree, as if standing above the nine heavens.
Phoenix sings to the nine heavens, its cry resonant!
In the next moment.
The Fire Phoenix's eyes were sharp, looking up toward Earth 5.8 billion light years away.
In the Baxter Building.
Gwen's screams had stopped, not because she didn't want to shout anymore, but because she was too exhausted.
At this moment, Gwen looked incredibly weak as she leaned against the freshly made bed, appearing somewhat frail, yet her gaze was incomparably soft as she looked at the little ones in her arms.
A son, a daughter.
Gwen stared blankly at the little ones in swaddling clothes, and then seemed to think of something.
"So ugly!"
"All newborns are like this."
Helen, sitting beside her, couldn't help but smile hearing her daughter's complaint, "You were even uglier when you were born."
Gwen shook her head, looking at Helen, lifting her pale neck that seemed to glow, "Impossible, I was beautiful, I've been beautiful since I was young."
Helen was expressionless.
"Now I finally know why George loves you so much."
"Why?"
"Because you're as shameless as your father."
"...Dad!"
Gwen was stunned, then reacted and looked down at George standing at the foot of the bed, "Mom said you're shameless."
George's mouth twitched, his gaze falling on Gwen's grandchild and granddaughter in swaddling clothes, expressionless: "Indeed quite ugly, let's throw them away."
Gwen's eyes widened.
"What?"
"Too ugly, let's throw them away, and they just made my dear daughter suffer so terribly, be obedient, throw them away, don't keep them."
"No!"
Upon hearing this, Gwen instinctively hugged her son and daughter tightly.
George laughed.
"Didn't you just say they're ugly?"
"On closer inspection, they aren't that ugly."
Gwen blinked, "Maybe Hawk was just this ugly at birth, that's why they look so ugly, but it doesn't matter, they should look better with time."
George opened his mouth, speechless, looking at Helen beside him.
They exchanged looks.
Helen also had a helpless smile, getting up, ready to take the grandson and granddaughter from Gwen's arms, "Alright, you take a nap first, I'll hold them for a while."
Gwen shook her head.
"No."
"Then you..."
"I'm fine now."
Gwen looked at her mother, holding her twins, and said so.
In fact, it was indeed as she said.
Gwen's previously somewhat weak and pale complexion had begun to turn rosy, even the fatigue in her eyes from childbirth was disappearing visibly.
Helen looked at Gwen's protective posture, thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, we'll head out first, you rest for a while."
After saying this.
Helen pulled George out of the room.
After Helen and George left, Gwen leaned against the bed, looking down at the little ones who, after crying a few times at birth, fell asleep peacefully after she held them, her lips curling into a nice arc.
"Your lousy dad didn't come."
"And he didn't prepare names for you."
"So..."
"His naming rights are revoked."
"Let me think, what should I call you two."
Now refreshed, Gwen looked energetically at her newborn twins, various names endlessly floating through her mind.
But!
As everyone knows.
Naming is never easy, especially since Gwen, despite saying she revoked Hawk's naming rights, couldn't help but consider what names Hawk would choose for his son and daughter.
As a result, until night fell and George and Helen left the Baxter Building, Gwen still hadn't thought of names for the little ones.
"Knock knock!"
"Come in."
Susan the Invisible Woman pushed the door open from outside, and the first thing she saw was Gwen sitting on the apartment sofa in a fleece pajama, holding the little ones.
As everyone knows.
The concept of postpartum confinement doesn't exist in the West, and the one who gave birth was Gwen, Hawk's God Empress, so after an afternoon of rest, Gwen had fully recovered.
At this moment, Gwen was holding the little ones while using the wrist computer she purchased during her honeymoon from Sandaar, browsing the internet for various name meanings.
Gwen's eyes lit up when she saw Susan come in.
"Susan, have you and Reed thought about names for your two kids?"
"Franklin."
Susan answered without hesitation as she sat down next to Gwen, glancing at the two well-behaved little ones in the cradle: "It's Reed's grandfather's name, so if we have kids, it will be Franklin."
Gwen smiled and said, "You and Reed will have them, just need to fix the damaged fertility genes."
Susan looked at Gwen with a grateful expression.
"Thank you, Gwen, if it weren't for your discovery..."
"I only found out that your and Reed's fertility genes were damaged, but I couldn't think of a way to repair them. It was Reed who realized that my Regenerative Potion could work on gene repair."
Gwen interrupted Susan: "By the way, how is Reed's research on the gene repair potion going?"
Susan smiled and said, "He's figured it out. He went to the lab after dinner, and if nothing goes wrong, once we inject the gene repair potion, we'll be able to have our own children."
"That's great."
Gwen, upon hearing this, sent her blessings and then invited, "I haven't thought of names for my two kids yet, Susan, would you help me by giving some suggestions?"
Susan readily agreed, and the two women huddled together, looking at the meanings of various names projected from a bracelet computer.
As the two women were looking at names together.
Reed Richards, who was diligently working on his experiments in the lab, received an alert from the Intelligent System.
"Sir, there's a change in an unknown galaxy."
"Project it out."
"Yes."
As the voice ended, the Intelligent System instantly projected the image of the Phoenix Star System that suddenly appeared 5.8 billion light-years away into the lab.
Reed Richards looked at it.
His expression...
Froze once more.
He looked at the image in the Phoenix Star System, which resembled a towering tree, and couldn't help but frown.
"Is this a tree?"
"It's not."
The Intelligent System's voice was calm: "It's made of gas..."
Reed interrupted: "I mean, this looks very much like a tree, and look at this star system image, doesn't it look a bit like Phoenix?"
The Intelligent System was silent for a moment, then took a screenshot of the current Phoenix Star System, and then the screenshot began to render.
Soon.
A giant tree in the cosmos, and the Phoenix formed by the Phoenix Star System perched on that giant tree crown, was rendered by the Intelligent System.
The tree towered.
The Phoenix spread its wings.
"Hiss!"
After seeing this image rendered by the Intelligent System, Reed Richards couldn't help but take a deep breath again.
"This change just happened?"
"Yes."
The Intelligent System stated, and then seemingly detected something, instantly pulled up the real-time detection image outside Earth's cosmos: "Sir, an unknown energy has been detected entering the Milky Way Galaxy, estimated to enter the Solar System in ten minutes, estimated energy trajectory..."
As the Intelligent System's words fell, an energy prediction trajectory image appeared.
When the trajectory image froze.
World Tree!
Phoenix!
Phoenix.
Upon seeing the predicted trajectory endpoint was here, Reed Richards finally understood something, his eyes constricting as he rapidly turned and headed out of the lab.
At this moment, Gwen, who was in the apartment, also noticed something unusual.
She looked at the wedding ring on her right hand, which began to flash like it was breathing, and blinked.
Susan also noticed this scene.
Just as she was about to speak, there was a knock on the door. Susan looked at Reed standing outside the door, called out, and after Reed entered, he also saw the flashing wedding ring on Gwen's finger.
Sure enough.
Seeing this, Reed inwardly acknowledged and then summoned the Intelligent System to pull up the manifestation of the Phoenix Star System in the cosmos and the unknown energy rapidly approaching.
Susan looked at the rendered Phoenix Star System, her mouth agape.
After listening, Gwen was invigorated.
"It's Hawk."
"Hawk is coming."
And as Gwen's words fell at that moment.
With a clang, a cry echoed.
Gwen, Susan, and Reed instinctively looked out the floor-to-ceiling window.
Looking up.
The dark starry sky was now illuminated in a crimson hue. If you looked with a bit of imagination, it seemed as if a Phoenix was speeding across the 5.8 billion light-years distance, rushing toward Earth.
The next moment.
The brilliant red light grew more intense, ignoring Earth's atmosphere and the building's bulletproof glass, instantly entering the living room of Gwen's apartment.
Boom!
With the Phoenix entering the apartment living room, spreading its wings, the Phoenix Fire extended. The brilliant light made Reed and Susan instinctively close their eyes.
Only Gwen.
She stared, unblinking, at the Phoenix Fire before her.
Watching—
The familiar figure gradually forming within the Phoenix Fire!
