Although the majority of the crowd had abandoned their thoughts of slaying a god—even fearing to so much as entertain the idea—there were still a few reckless fools among them.
The burly leader, whose conversation had been overheard by Janet Van Dyne earlier, clenched his fists, forcing himself to suppress his fear as he shouted, "Attack him! Shoot him down from the sky!"
The moment his words fell, the entire area fell into a stunned silence.
Every intelligent being around looked at the man as if he were some bizarre species they had never encountered before.
Even his own underlings gave him odd looks, their faces betraying fear and disbelief.
"Boss... maybe we should just let this go. That's a god," one of them muttered hesitantly.
"Yeah, we should stop this..."
Hearing their refusal, the leader snorted coldly. "Cowards. You're all useless."
"If you won't do it, I will!"
With that, he raised his weapon, aiming it at the white-cloaked figure floating in the sky, gritting his teeth as he prepared to fire.
Everyone watching felt their hearts tighten.
Madman!
At that moment—
Syd had been admiring the strange landscapes of the Quantum Realm, paying no attention to the insignificant ants gawking at him from below.
However, the instant the fool lifted his weapon, he sensed it immediately.
He sighed internally, feeling speechless.
Turning his head slightly, he cast a brief glance at the man.
Before the attacker could even pull the trigger, his body underwent a horrifying transformation—dissolving into countless shimmering bubbles.
"W-What...?"
Feeling something was terribly wrong, the man instinctively looked down at himself.
Then, he saw it.
His body was no longer solid.
"My body... What's happening to my body?!"
A flicker of sheer terror crossed his face as he realized what was happening.
But before he could even beg for mercy, his form shattered like a fragile sculpture, dispersing into a cascade of iridescent bubbles.
The bubbles drifted skyward, glistening in the sunlight, a mesmerizingly beautiful yet utterly terrifying sight.
With that, Syd shifted his gaze away, his interest returning to the surrounding scenery.
He had already forgotten about the insignificant fool.
But those who had witnessed the event firsthand felt an overwhelming chill run down their spines.
Those near the unfortunate soul were paralyzed with terror.
"This is... truly a god!"
"He really is a god!"
"Unbelievable... We almost committed blasphemy!"
Sounds of people gasping, whispering in fear, and shuddering in awe spread through the crowd.
What else could explain such an ability?
Only a god could turn a person into nothing but bubbles with a mere glance!
Even Janet Van Dyne, the original Wasp, was shaken to her core.
A god... Is this truly a god?
The Quantum Realm... has a god?!
She murmured the words to herself, feeling as though her understanding of the world had been shattered once again.
Before, she had held some doubts about whether this being was truly divine.
But after what she had just witnessed, there was no more room for uncertainty.
Ten to one... he really is a god.
As the realization settled in, a desperate longing flickered in Janet's eyes.
She had been trapped here for so many years, endlessly searching for a way home—only to fail, time and time again.
At this moment, she missed her family more than anything.
She just wanted to go back to them.
And now, she saw a chance.
A glimmer of hope.
Without hesitation, she stepped out from the crowd, raising her voice in a plea.
"Divine One in the sky, I beg you—help me!"
Her desperate words sent ripples through the gathered onlookers.
Many turned to her in utter disbelief.
Is she insane?!
Does she not fear angering the god and getting herself obliterated like that fool?
So bold!
Just then, they saw the god turn his head and look directly at her.
Syd's gaze flickered with a trace of surprise before he immediately recognized her.
He also understood exactly what she was asking for.
In the next instant, to everyone's astonishment—including Janet's—he actually spoke.
"Wasp... Janet Van Dyne?"
His voice echoed through the air, vast and ineffable, carrying a weight that felt like the very laws of existence itself.
"This is... the voice of a god?"
"Indescribable..."
As the Quantum Realm natives trembled in awe, Janet stood there, utterly stunned.
He... he called my name?
He knew who I was from the moment he spoke?!
"A god, without a doubt... This is beyond comprehension!"
Janet did not believe this divine being had ever met her before.
Yet, just by laying eyes on her, he had learned everything?
Did gods truly possess omniscience?
She wasn't sure.
But in the next moment, as if to confirm her thoughts, the godly figure spoke again.
"You wish to leave the Quantum Realm and return to the real world?"
Janet froze in place, her shock reaching new heights.
Could he truly be omniscient?
He knew exactly what she wanted—before she had even said a word!
It was unfathomable.
At the same time, she was deeply shaken.
Not only did this god know about the Quantum Realm...
He also knew about the real world.
With disbelief in her voice, she muttered, "So, you truly are a god... I didn't even have to say anything!"
Gathering herself, she raised her head and spoke with unwavering determination.
"Yes! I wish to leave the Quantum Realm and return to the real world!"
"I have been separated from my family for far too long... They have been waiting for me for so many years!"
"Divine One, I beg you—please help me!"
Hesitating only for a moment, Janet then knelt down, pleading sincerely for the god to grant her wish.
Of course, she wasn't entirely certain that he could send her back.
The gathered natives looked on, their faces filled with reverence.
"Of course he's a god... He knows everything!"
Above them—
Syd studied the kneeling Wasp, a flicker of thought passing through his eyes.
After a moment of consideration, he gave a slight nod and said, "Since you wish to return, I will grant your request."
The moment his words fell, a golden spark ignited before Janet.
The sparks quickly expanded, forming a circular portal.
It was a portal created through spatial transference—enhanced with Chaos Magic.
This portal was more than sufficient to return Janet to the real world.
And not only that—
The moment she stepped through, her body would revert to its original size, undoing the effects of Pym Particles.
"As long as you pass through this gate, you will return to reality."
Hearing the ethereal, god-like voice from above, Janet turned to look at the golden portal before her.
This... This is the way back?
She felt a sense of disbelief.
Could it really be that easy?
Is this the power of a god?
Something that had seemed utterly impossible for her—
He had solved with a mere flick of his hand.
