Pym

This woman had likely already collapsed long ago. Even if she hadn't committed suicide, she would have completely gone mad by now.

It wasn't just a day or two—it had been more than 20 years!

So, when Janet suddenly saw Zane, her reaction was one of overwhelming joy, madness, and desperation.

She just hoped Zane would say a few words to her, to let her know that she wasn't alone, to remind her that she was still human.

But Zane had always been indifferent to people who had nothing to do with him.

Outside, his family was anxiously worrying about him. How could Zane possibly waste time on Janet?

Moreover, five years ago, Hank Pym had been part of the group that attacked him. Why would Zane care about his wife?

He wasn't some bleeding-heart hero—her being trapped had nothing to do with him.

So, he left swiftly and decisively, without even acknowledging her.

When her tears had dried and her voice had become hoarse from shouting, Janet stood there, staring blankly at the spot where Zane had disappeared.

Even the belief she had held onto for over 20 years seemed to die in her eyes.

In an instant, Janet's once bright eyes became dull and lifeless, like the eyes of a puppet, showing no emotion.

She even started doubting whether what she had just seen was real.

Was Zane's appearance just an illusion?

But the still-empty space was a cruel reminder—it was real!

The only living person she had seen in more than 20 years had truly disappeared.

Suddenly, a detail Janet had previously overlooked came to mind.

Her once-dull eyes regained their brightness, and a spark of hope reignited within them.

The point she had missed was: where did Zane go after disappearing from here?

The only possible answer was that he had left this cursed quantum realm.

And if Zane could leave, why couldn't she?

Realizing this, Janet abruptly stood up. Like a madwoman with a burning intensity in her eyes, she rushed to the spot where Zane had vanished.

She pushed her body beyond its limits, stirring up the quantum energy that had merged into her over these 20 years, searching every inch of space for any trace of where Zane had left.

As long as she could find that trace, she could follow Zane's path and escape the quantum realm.

In her frantic search, Janet quickly found the trace Zane had left when he exited.

However, the crack in the quantum space had already shrunk to the point where it was too small for Janet to pass through, and it was closing rapidly.

It wouldn't be long before the quantum space completely repaired itself.

"If I can't get out, then I'll contact someone outside to come and rescue me!"

The thought flashed through Janet's mind like lightning.

In the next moment, Janet poured her consciousness, along with a portion of quantum energy, into the crack.

In that sliver of consciousness, she included her current coordinates and some precautions about the quantum realm.

The intended recipient of that consciousness was none other than her husband, Hank Pym.

At that very moment, on Earth, deep within a remote mountain forest, a modern building stood incongruously among the natural landscape.

Inside the building, Hank Pym was working on technological research when he suddenly felt an overwhelming wave of drowsiness.

Before he could even stand up, he collapsed onto the testing table, fast asleep.

Hank Pym had a dream. In it, his wife, now aged, was anxiously telling him how much she missed him over the years. She then shared some parameters and cautions about the quantum realm.

Seeing that familiar yet distant face, Hank Pym was overwhelmed with emotion, tears streaming down his face.

"I'm waiting for you here..." Janet said before fading away.

In the real world, Hank Pym suddenly lifted his head, tears still running down his face. To his amazement, he could vividly recall everything from the dream. Every word Janet had said was clearly etched in his mind.

This unusual phenomenon invigorated Hank Pym. He couldn't wait to begin testing the quantum knowledge Janet had shared in the dream.

After two sleepless days and nights of testing, Hank discovered that everything was accurate!

As he stared at the experimental data in his hands, his hands began to tremble uncontrollably. Tears dripped down his weathered cheeks, leaving faint marks on the experiment sheet.

"Janet, you're still alive, you're really still alive..."

A moment later, Hank Pym suddenly wiped the tears from his face, his eyes filled with a newfound determination.

"Janet, wait for me!" Hank muttered resolutely to himself, then rushed back into the lab, disregarding his utterly exhausted body.

In a way, although Zane hadn't directly rescued Janet, he had indirectly helped her. Thanks to him, Janet found a way to leave the quantum realm years earlier than in the original timeline.

Of course, even if Zane knew, he wouldn't care.

At this moment, Zane had no time for such trivial matters. His now materialized soul had broken through the quantum realm and, following the connection to his body, crossed countless dimensions to return to it.

With the reunion of his soul and divine essence, Zane, seated on the Throne of Bones, suddenly opened his eyes.

In an instant, the overwhelming presence of a mid-tier god surged forth, hitting everyone present like a crushing blow.

Apart from the Collector and the Grandmaster, no one could avoid the pressure that Zane had unleashed. It forced them to bow their heads slightly, as if in reverence to their king.

Thanos gritted his teeth, every muscle in his body straining, trying to lift his head to meet Zane's gaze. His pride as a powerful being would not allow him to bow to Zane.

The others, too, used all their strength to straighten their backs under the crushing force. But under Zane's newly evolved presence, their resistance was as futile as an egg striking a stone. Instead of succeeding, they only exhausted themselves further.

As Zane's soul fully synchronized with his body, the waves of pressure intensified like a relentless tsunami, forcing their heads even lower. The rulers of the distant civilizations were already pressed to the ground, unable to move.

Once Zane's soul and body were completely merged, he slowly stood from his throne. In an instant, the immense pressure he had unleashed was retracted into his body.

Immediately, everyone in the audience gasped for air in unison, drenched in cold sweat. In just a few seconds, it felt as though they had fought a grueling battle. Both physically and mentally, they were utterly drained, slumping into their seats in exhaustion.

Their gazes toward Zane now flickered with intense fear.
