Twenty minutes later.
Baxter Building.
"Who is she?" Reed leaned close to Peter's ear and asked in a low voice.
"The leader in the field of dimensional energy." Peter responded in a low voice, "Just shut up and watch."
Reed rolled his eyes at him, but still kept his mouth shut. All members of Fantastic Four stood aside, Johnny and Susan looked at the bald woman warily, while Thing had a world-weary face as always.
At the invitation of Peter, the Ancient One came to the laboratory and became very interested in the newly established Antimatter Universe portal.
In the past five minutes, the Ancient One has been staring at the portal and monitoring instruments without saying a word.
"Man, why are you dressed like this?" Johnny came over to join in the fun.
"Shut up, Johnny." Peter glared at him.
"Why are you wearing a robe?" Susan couldn't help but ask.
Peter covered his face. "This is very complicated to explain..."
Finally, the Ancient One spoke, "You did a great job, apprentice Parker. This filtering system is very sophisticated and can provide you with sufficient exploration time. If my calculation is correct, the upper safety limit is thirty minutes."
Reed was stunned on the spot. "How could you calculate it with the naked eye?!"
"Rely on experience." The Ancient One smiled slightly and turned to Peter, "You have created a miracle, Peter, and you should be proud of it."
Peter grinned. "Thank you, Your Majesty. By the way, can you help the four of them take a look?" Peter pointed at Fantastic Four, "Their superpowers are also caused by dimensional energy radiation, but the situation is a bit complicated."
"I'll try." The Ancient One raised his hand and waved, and four golden Magic rings instantly floated in front of Fantastic Four.
"What the hell?!" Susan was startled and instantly opened the invisible force field.
"Fuck! What do you want to do?!" Johnny's body instantly burst into flames. Reed and Ben also put on a defensive posture.
"Relax guys! She's just checking you out!" Peter quickly raised his hands to stand in the middle, "Believe me, she is the person least likely to hurt you in the world."
"Why do you say that?" Reed asked warily.
"Because I am Sorcerer Supreme, and my duty is to protect life, not to kill." The Ancient One replied calmly and withdrew the spell, "But you four... are really interesting."
Susan frowned. "Supreme... what?"
"She is a Magic teacher." Peter explained.
"Magic is real?!" Ben's eyes widened.
"What a joke!" Johnny shouted, "How can there be a devil in this world--"
Peter waved his hand, and a golden Magic array the size of a car blasted out of thin air in front of Johnny.
The second half of Johnny's sentence ended abruptly. "... Fuck."
"Peter... You actually know how to Magic?!" Susan looked at him in shock.
Peter nodded. "Ang."
"This... how is this possible?"
Peter shrugged. "Magic is essentially just another way of manipulating energy, Su. Our consciousness itself is like a complex quantum computer. As long as we master the method, we can extract energy from other dimensions, thus affecting reality."
Reed immediately retorted, "This violates the laws of physics!"
Peter rolled his eyes. "You, a person who can stretch yourself hundreds of meters, live under the same roof with a Thing, a Pyro and an invisible elder sister, and you want to talk to me about physics?"
The Ancient One answered, "Besides, the four of you are unconsciously calling on dimensional energy at this moment. It's just that the method is much rougher than that of the mages."
Johnny looked doubtful. "You mean, you can do what we can do?"
The Ancient One just smiled gently and twitched his fingers gently.
Boom!
Her entire right arm was instantly enveloped in raging flames! Everyone was startled and subconsciously wanted to put out the fire, but found that the Ancient One's face was as normal, and he didn't even frown.
The flame suddenly extinguished. The Ancient One looked at Johnny: "Your fire control skills are very primitive, Mr. Storm. But the ability to fly is indeed rare."
Then, the Ancient One looked at Susan. The figure disappeared out of thin air in an instant, and reappeared a few steps away the next second. "Invisibility is also not difficult... but the telekinetic shield you built is not the same thing as invisibility."
At this time, Ben, who had been silent all this time, suddenly took a step forward, his voice trembling a little. "Then... can you change me back to my original state?"
The Ancient One looked at him with deep sympathy in his eyes. "Poor man."
She reached out and touched Ben's rough and hard stone skin. "Your situation... is much more complicated. Unlike your companions, you cannot regulate the dimensional energy in your body on your own."
Before he finished speaking, the Ancient One's right index finger burst out with dazzling golden light, and he was caught off guard and pointed at Ben's abdomen!
Bang!
Ben's huge body was knocked back a few steps by this blow.
"Ben!" Reed was shocked, and his huge fist hit the Ancient One's face with the sound of howling wind!
"Reed Stop!"
Peter flashed between the two of them in an instant, held up a golden shield, and blocked Reed's heavy blow with a loud bang.
"Peter, get out of the way!" Johnny's whole body erupted with terrifying heat, ready to fight for his life.
"No... wait!"
Ben's voice suddenly trembled.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and everyone was shocked and speechless.
I saw a golden energy halo centered on Ben's abdomen, spreading towards the whole body! Under the influence of that golden light, the thick and hard rock on the surface of the body gradually disappeared like ice and snow, revealing the long-lost human skin underneath!
