"By the way, George, did you take leave?" Lucas suddenly asked.
George wasn't like him and Gwen. He was the Director of the New York Police Departnt, holding a high position.
If he stayed here for a few more days, would the police departnt on Earth-65 count George as absent without leave?
George was about to speak when the male Ancient One spoke first, "I can help George take leave. I'm also going back anyway."
Without waiting for George to speak, Lucas thanked the Ancient One on his behalf, "Then I'll trouble you, Master."
"By the way, George. Do you still rember what you looked like when you were young?"
"What I looked like when I was young?" George looked at Lucas in confusion, a bit bewildered.
Lucas smiled mysteriously and patted George on the shoulder. The next instant, points surged into George's body. Under Lucas's powerful ntal control, it rapidly strengthened and healed him.
In an instant, hair grew wildly all over George's body. Before long, he beca an ape-man.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
Gwen was the first to burst out laughing.
Wanda and Pietro followed closely.
Lucas gave an embarrassed laugh. "Sorry, George. This is my first ti helping soone else strengthen, so I'm inexperienced."
George slowly extended his hand, he could feel the energy contained within this body. Even if he were a dozen years younger, his body wouldn't be as healthy and strong as it was now.
Suddenly, he rembered sothing. He took out his phone and looked at the black screen.
Reflected on the screen was his younger face.
Lucas's voice sounded at this mont. "This way, after Helen is resurrected, she shouldn't feel unfamiliar when she sees you."
"But for Gwen, I can't do anything. I can't just turn her back into a child, can I?"
After explaining to George, Lucas began to instruct Wanda, "Wanda, please cast a confusion spell on George. Make others overlook the change in his appearance."
"Okay." Wanda assented.
Crimson energy appeared on her fingertips, slowly tracing before George's eyes.
Mysterious runes flashed and then disappeared.
"Done." Wanda said cheerfully.
For her, this was just a simple little spell. Of course, for Lucas, it was the sa.
After Wanda finished helping, Lucas took out a small ball of energy and handed it to her, instructing her, "No incantation guidance is needed. Just separate it and place it on your parents' souls."
Ti flew by, and half a month passed in a flash.
One day, Tony inford Lucas that the experint was successful.
Accompanied by Lucas, the resurrection ceremony officially began.
First to appear was Matt.
On the one hand, he had absorbed Lucas's points for the longest ti, his soul was the strongest, and his fault tolerance was high.
On the other hand, if the experint wasn't conducted soon, he would learn the technique of interfering with the real world from the spiritual world.
"Lucas, how about waiting two more days?" Matt asked with so hesitation.
He had practiced diligently for many days, sleepless, foodless, and drinkless. He was finally about to learn the technique of a spiritual body interfering with the real world. But then, Lucas told him that a new body could be created for him.
So, what was the aning of his arduous practice during this period?
Lucas patted Matt's shoulder and said, "Matt, that's life. You never know whether tomorrow or a surprise will arrive first."
Matt rolled his eyes, ignored Lucas, and walked straight to the nutrient capsule.
Looking down at his body, Matt asked Tony, "What should I do next?"
Tony replied, "Just lie down. Don't resist, just follow the traction, slowly adjust, and adapt."
"Okay."
Matt obeyed and lied down in the nutrient capsule.
When the body and soul made extensive contact, streaks of pearly white light erged.
This was the points-energy from the soul and body at work.
The pearly white light slowly and powerfully pulled Matt's body and soul.
Crossing the ntal and material world, it gradually rged the two into one.
Lucas watched the process from the side. If anything went wrong, he would imdiately save Matt's soul.
Unexpectedly, under the pull of the pearly white light, Matt's soul did not feel any discomfort. Instead, he seed to be enjoying it. And from ti to ti, he showed an expression of sudden realization.
Lucas didn't understand, not at all. He could only ask Matt after the experint was over.
The experint process was longer than imagined. In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.
"Tony, how much longer?"
Tony glanced at the control panel and said nonchalantly, "Looking at the progress bar, it'll be another ten days."
Lucas was puzzled. "Why does it take so long? Tony, your previous experints, all combined, didn't take ten days, did they?"
Tony retorted, "Can humans and white mice be the sa?"
Lucas asked, "Is Matt the first human subject for the experint?"
Tony nodded. "Isn't that why you're here?"
Lucas was silent.
"Poor Matt."
"I can hear you." Matt's voice suddenly echoed in the spiritual world.
Lucas and Tony exchanged glances.
They both chose to change the subject.
Lucas asked, "Tony, do you have a way to calibrate ti across different worlds and dinsions?"
The difference in ti flow rates across different worlds was Lucas's biggest hidden danger when traveling the Multiverse, and it had troubled him for a long ti. Now, it was perfect for changing the subject.
Unexpectedly, Tony gave a positive answer, "Yes. Ever since I accidentally entered the Quantum Realm last ti, I've been trying to find a way. To find a reference ti coordinate to calibrate the ti flow rates of different worlds."
Then, Tony frowned and explained, "However, there's a problem. That is, you can only know the ratio of the ti flow rate at your current location to the standard ti. You cannot know the ratio of other locations to the standard ti across Universes."
"Thus, when traveling to other Universes, you can only roughly estimate the ti of the original Universe, without getting an accurate number."
Lucas pondered for a while and offered a suggestion, "Perhaps you could ask the Web Slingers, they are a cross-Multiverse organization after all, maybe they have a way."
He couldn't help with the technical aspects but he had connections.
Tony thought for a while and nodded. "Okay, after this is done, I'll contact Miguel."
...
The long ten days finally passed.
Everything went very smoothly, Matt's soul and body perfectly rged.
Including Matt's eyes.
Erin reached out and waved her hand in front of Matt's eyes, seeing that his eyeballs weren't focusing, and asked curiously, "Matt, what's wrong with your eyes?
"How co you can't see again after reshaping a body?"
Matt smiled and said contentedly, "Erin, I didn't say I couldn't see."
As he spoke, Matt's eyeballs refocused, moving left and right with Erin's waving hand.
"I seem to have two perspectives now. One is to see with my eyes. The other is to perceive with my other senses. I just haven't adapted yet."
Matt was very satisfied.
His superhuman senses had not been lost with the restoration of his vision. Instead, they had beco stronger.
"Matt, do you have any discomfort in your body?" Wanda, who was beside him, asked with concern.
If Matt's body had no adverse effects, then the resurrection for her parents could begin.
Noticing Wanda's little thoughts, Matt comforted her, "The experint was very successful, and I feel everything is good. There were no adverse reactions during the experint either."
After listening to Matt, Wanda looked at Lucas and Tony with hopeful eyes.
Olek and Iryna, anwhile, comforted their daughter, who seed to have suddenly grown ten years older, yet also not grown at all.
"Wanda, don't worry. Being able to see you and Pietro again, we are already very satisfied."
As parents, compared to the joy of regaining their bodies, they felt even more heartache for their children.
A pair of ten-year-old twin siblings, in the chaotic environnt of Sokovia.
It must have been very difficult to survive and grow up healthy.
eting the hopeful gazes of Wanda, Pietro, Gwen, and George, Lucas gave a positive response, "Let's start the experint."
After speaking, he looked at Tony.
He only served as a backup. The one truly arranging the experint had to be Tony.
"Since there's no problem, let's do it together."
Tony nodded and pointed to the three nutrient capsules.
"Lie in, you don't have to do anything, just treat it as sleeping."
Helen, Olek, and Iryna walked into their respective nutrient capsules.
Next, it was just like Matt.
Pearly white light erged, pulling their souls and bodies together.
The only difference was that Matt, as an Apprentice Sorcerer, could comprehend the secrets and connections between the soul and body during this process, enhancing his magical knowledge.
As for Helen, Olek, and Iryna, they quickly fell into a drowsy state.
Like a beautiful dream, in the blink of an eye, ten days passed.
Ten days later, Helen, Olek, and Iryna woke up.
At this ti, they had been separately placed in two different rooms.
One room was for Wanda and Pietro's family.
One room was for George, Helen, and Gwen.
After ten or more years, these two families were reunited once again.
