Earth-120703, Queens, New York, in front of Gwen's house.
Amazing Gwen slowly walked forward, feeling a bit hesitant to return home.
She raised her hand to knock on the door. No sound was made, her hand passed directly through.
Amazing Gwen simply walked straight through the door and entered.
Little Gwen wanted to follow, but Lucas stopped her in time. "Little Gwen, what are you doing?"
"Going in." Little Gwen looked at Lucas, confused.
"Touch it with your hand. Amazing Gwen is a soul body, she can ignore physical contact and go in, but you can't." Lucas explained.
Little Gwen was half-convinced and reached out to touch it.
Hmm, there was a tactile sensation. She couldn't pass directly through.
"But are we just going to stand outside and wait, not go in?" Little Gwen asked again, puzzled.
"There's no one inside, Little Gwen."
It was Ghost Gwen who answered Little Gwen.
The few people outside the door, except Little Gwen, all had good hearing. With a little attention, they could tell there were no breathing sounds inside.
In fact, not only was no one there now, but the house had been unoccupied for some time.
The flowers on the balcony had withered and died. The furniture, though neatly arranged, was covered with a thin layer of dust.
All these signs indicated that the house had been vacant for a while.
A moment later, Amazing Gwen walked out of the house, her expression tinged with sadness.
"Mom isn't here, she might have gone back to grandpa's place. Let's go check out Long Island, New York."
"Amazing Gwen, point the way."
"East direction."
Lucas nodded, and divine power enveloped the group, flying in the direction Amazing Gwen indicated.
"Lucas, are you directionally challenged?" Ghost Gwen suddenly asked.
With Lucas's mental power, he could sweep across the entire New York in an instant. In such a situation, Lucas didn't know where Long Island was, which greatly confused Ghost Gwen.
"Gwen, you know too much."
"We're here." Amazing Gwen suddenly spoke, interrupting Lucas and Ghost Gwen's playful banter.
Below was a three-story detached villa with a courtyard. In the courtyard, a middle-aged woman was bending over, tending to the flowers and plants.
Flying down from the sky, the group landed outside the villa. Ghost Gwen stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
Before long, the middle-aged woman observed the group through the peephole and then opened the door.
A handsome young man, three graceful young ladies, and an innocent little girl. Such a combination certainly couldn't be bad people.
"Hello, can I help you?"
The middle-aged woman's voice was gentle, and her speaking tone was quite similar to Amazing Gwen's.
However, her face was now covered with the marks of time. Graying temples added a few more touches of age.
"Hello, Miss Helen."
Lucas's palm swept across Helen's eyes, and glowing white runes flickered.
The next moment, another person appeared before Helen's eyes.
Her daughter, Gwen Stacy.
Amazing Gwen was still dressed in the same outfit from the day she died: a white jacket, purple inner top, and black knee-high boots.
Exactly the same as the body she had seen that day.
Helen involuntarily covered her face, tears streaming down.
"Is that you, Gwen?"
"It's me, mom, it's me."
Amazing Gwen's eyes also welled up with tears, and she couldn't help but step forward and tightly hug her mother.
She gently caressed the new wrinkles on her mother's face, constantly apologizing, "I'm sorry, mom. I made you worry."
"It's good you're back."
Seeing this moving scene, Ghost Gwen, Wanda, and G'iah felt the same way and couldn't help but wipe away tears.
Little Gwen looked at Lucas, a bit lost and uncertain. She wondered if she should also cry.
"Come on, Little Gwen, let's go inside and find a place to sit for a while. I think you must be tired carrying that backpack for so long."
Lucas took Little Gwen's hand, bypassed Amazing Gwen and her mother, and walked into the villa.
"Lucas, can you carry my backpack for me?"
Hearing Lucas's reminder, Little Gwen hunched her back, pretending to be struggling, and asked Lucas for help.
Lucas looked down, Little Gwen's cartoon backpack had a cute princess design printed on it, full of girlish charm.
"No, your backpack isn't suitable for me, carry it yourself."
Although he said that, Lucas still released a wisp of divine power to remove the backpack's weight.
"Hmm..."
Little Gwen had just hummed when she realized the backpack was suddenly light.
"Thank you, Sorcerer Supreme Lucas."
Entering the living room, after a while, Ghost Gwen, Wanda, and G'iah followed them in.
A little later, Amazing Gwen and Helen also walked in.
"Excuse me, please allow me to ask presumptuously, are you angels? Here to bring back my daughter?"
As soon as she entered, Helen's gaze fell on Lucas.
She remembered the glowing white light when Lucas's palm swept across her eyes.
Lucas slowly shook his head, not minding Helen's offense. "I am a God, but not an angel."
"God?"
"He's joking with you."
Ghost Gwen first introduced everyone to Helen, then explained their purpose.
"Lucas is a powerful sorcerer with the ability to see souls. He found Amazing Gwen's soul in another Universe, so he escorted her back and will clone a body for her to complete her resurrection. This process will probably take ten days."
There were some deeper reasons that Ghost Gwen didn't tell Helen, there was no need.
"Thank you all so much, Ghost Gwen."
Helen's gaze lingered between Ghost Gwen and Little Gwen, she was pondering a question.
Does her daughter from a parallel world count as her own daughter?
"You've been in here for so long, and I haven't even offered you anything to drink. That's truly rude of me."
Helen apologized to the group, then walked into the kitchen, and soon, brought out five cups of warm milk.
"Thank you."
Wanda and G'iah, who had been playing minor roles, finally had a chance to speak.
Therefore, Lucas also noticed them.
Should he have them go out and work now, or rest for a while and then go out and work?
That was the question.
Lucas took a small sip of the hot milk, hesitating in his heart. But very quickly, he no longer needed to hesitate.
The girls were already chatting animatedly.
"Amazing Gwen, you have three younger brothers? I really envy you, we don't have any." G'iah sighed.
"No, I have a twin brother." Wanda corrected.
Actually, on Earth-404, Pietro was the older brother.
"No, I'll have a younger brother very soon." Little Gwen interjected, saying seriously.
"Me too." Ghost Gwen added.
G'iah said, "I really envy you all."
Lucas: "..."
"How about you all chat here for now, and I'll go retrieve Amazing Gwen's living cells?"
Lucas took a step and left.
Why could they chat so enthusiastically about such a boring topic?
