Even though he had just withdrawn from the "nanoworld," the effects on Lucas's eyes had not yet fully subsided.
The world before him appeared hazy and blurred, while the area he focused on was filled with countless dust particles, each clearly visible.
His vision now functioned like an automatic focusing instrument—wherever his gaze landed, a single thought was enough to magnify it infinitely.
In essence, this was comparable to Superman's super vision.
Lucas chose to call it "nanoscopic vision."
As the light in his eyes dimmed, his sight returned to normal. After all, any ordinary person would struggle to accept a world filled entirely with dust, microbes, and microscopic organisms.
Once his vision stabilized, Lucas turned to look at the fully formed "light-body" behind him.
"The information I've gathered should be sufficient," he murmured.
With a wave of his hand, the light-body dispersed, breaking down into countless particles of light that flowed directly into Lois's body.
Each particle moved with pinpoint precision, as if guided by an internal navigation system, heading exactly where it was needed.
Soon, Lois's body was completely suffused with these light particles, glowing faintly with a blue-white radiance.
Seeing this, Clark and the others grew intensely tense.
In the next moment, Lucas raised his right hand. As his energy surged, a cluster of Eternal Flame ignited in his palm.
Under his control, the flame burst apart like fireworks, scattering into countless sparks.
When Lucas's consciousness intervened, those sparks surged toward Lois in unison.
Blue-white light and fiery red intertwined across her body, forming a breathtakingly vivid spectacle.
Lucas could feel the Eternal Flame entering Lois's body, permeating every single point within her.
Yes—he intended to use the Eternal Flame's unique properties to reignite every one of Lois's cellular cores.
In the cinematic universe, Hela had used the Eternal Flame to revive undead soldiers and Fenrir.
Some argued that those soldiers were not truly resurrected—merely corpses with limited awareness.
But they overlooked a crucial detail:
Was Fenrir a walking corpse?
Clearly not.
His intelligent eyes and uncorrupted flesh were proof that Fenrir had been genuinely revived.
The most convincing evidence was something Lucas himself had confirmed earlier—when he enveloped Fenrir in energy before bringing him to Earth.
Fenrir had truly been resurrected by the Eternal Flame. Every cell in his body existed in a normal, living state.
Lucas's eyes once again entered nanoscopic vision, as he began performing nanometer-level "surgery" on Lois.
Countless light particles imbued with Eternal Flame energy shrank, divided, and rapidly entered every one of Lois's cells under Lucas's precise mental control.
Once this was complete, Lucas decisively ignited the Eternal Flame.
Within the nanoscopic field, the nucleoli, nucleoplasm, chromatin, and other structures inside each cell nucleus were "rekindled" by the flame.
Nearby mitochondria and cellular organelles were stimulated by the sudden influx of energy—the blue-white particles.
Every cell was simultaneously activated.
As for the water necessary for life, Lucas manipulated his energy to condense water molecules from the surrounding air, rapidly injecting them into Lois's body.
Because Lois had not been dead for long—and because she had died in outer space—her body had not suffered bacterial invasion from the environment or from internal decomposition.
The intense ultraviolet radiation of space had eliminated most bacteria instantly.
Later, when Clark brought her back to Earth, his biofield further shielded her body from microbial intrusion.
This spared Lucas a great deal of additional work.
Yet once again, the scene shattered the observers' understanding of reality.
JARVIS had magnified Lois's body to an extreme degree, allowing everyone to witness Lucas's actions in real time.
"Someone tell me this is fake," Tony said, his voice filled with existential doubt.
What he was seeing had surpassed his imagination.
He had witnessed countless cutting-edge technologies, even laboratory-based nanometer-scale manipulation using instruments.
He had recently been considering whether nanomaterials could be used to construct future Iron Man armor—
armor with unparalleled defense, adaptability, and self-repair.
Yet even the most advanced laboratories still regarded nanorobots as experimental concepts.
And Lucas was accomplishing all of this with his own body.
"No, Tony," Banner said seriously.
"I can tell you with certainty—this is real."
"I can confirm that as well," Captain America added.
"Flesh surpasses machinery—humans are the strongest! Oh yeah!" Hawkeye raised a fist enthusiastically.
Everyone turned to stare at him.
Hawkeye shrugged helplessly. "I'm just stating the obvious."
"At least you can't do this," Nick Fury remarked, before turning his attention back to the scene.
Under the stunned gazes of the onlookers, Lois's previously mangled body began to visibly recover.
Her purplish-black skin gradually returned to a healthy tone, while sun-damaged surface cells rapidly regenerated.
Once the cells were restored and reactivated, her organs began functioning again.
With the heart's rhythmic beating, blood flowed throughout her body.
As oxygen and blood reached the brain, neural tissue and electrical signals within the neurons began to activate.
Just as Lucas was preparing to conclude the process, he suddenly seemed to recall something.
In the next instant, the blue-white particles shifted.
Lucas began drawing upon even greater mental processing power and spiritual focus.
What truly separates a strong body from a weak one?
What distinguishes humans from Kryptonians?
And what sets Kryptonians apart from Saiyans?
Lucas acted.
Blue-white light erupted from his body as countless luminous particles appeared in the surrounding space.
These particles linked together, forming radiant threads that eventually wove into a vast net enveloping both Lucas and Lois.
A peculiar force field formed within the net.
Instantly, the holographic projection generated by the Mark armor distorted violently—then shut down entirely.
"Sir," JARVIS reported,
"The area surrounding Mr. Lucas is now covered by an unknown force field. All observational systems have been completely blocked."
The operation had entered a stage no one else could witness.
