Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings

But in any case, getting the Dog Charm is the best news for Peter at this stage.

Peter kept chanting "What's lost can be regained" to himself, but he still reluctantly chose to purchase the talisman of his choice.

Then, without any hesitation, he chose to remove the dog charm.

An octagonal stone radiating a yellow glow appeared in Peter's mind, carved with the classic image of a big yellow dog.

[Dog Talisman: Grants the user unlimited lifespan and eternal vitality, making the holder immortal and eternally youthful.]

Looking at the three talismans—a dog, a horse, and a tiger—floating in his mental world, Peter still felt a pang of regret, but couldn't help but sigh:

"So, can't you say now, 'I have everything I need'?"

After making this comment, I glanced at my remaining "406400" sacrifice points.

After hesitating for a moment, Peter still bought the three items: "Operation Fruit", "Rainbow", and "Skill Book: Time Reversal".

After buying three items, my family's original seven-figure savings were wiped out overnight.

All that's left is a pitiful 96400 sacrifice points.

"No matter what, it was worth the money!"

Thinking this, Peter took a deep breath and then pushed open the door and went back into the ward.

In the hospital room, Captain America, who was snuggling up with Carter and talking intimately, looked up. His previously somewhat broken emotions had clearly improved, and he couldn't help but ask with an expectant look:

"Peter, have you come up with a great idea?"

Peter nodded to the captain, a reassuring smile appearing on his face.

"I have some general ideas, but I can't guarantee that I can make Ms. Carter young again. However, I think it's still worth a try."

"Captain, don't worry. Even if this experiment fails, I can guarantee that there will be no side effects."

Upon hearing this, Captain America nodded, looking very serious.

"Don't worry, Peter, I believe in your abilities!"

After receiving Captain America's affirmation, Peter no longer hesitated.

He first used the Eye of Aurora to bring Felicia back to Carter's hospital room, and then gestured for Felicia to take off the rings she was wearing on her arm.

After preparing the rings, Peter let out a long breath and then raised his hand to condense a dog charm in his palm.

Because the dog charm needs to be worn by someone else to be effective, Peter had no choice but to show the charm itself to everyone.

The moment the dog charm was placed in Carter's hand, a soft yellow light instantly enveloped Carter's body.

Enveloped in this light, Carter first let out a comfortable groan, then his eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but exclaim:

"What kind of pava is this?"

She could feel her previously weak heartbeat becoming strong and powerful, each beat seeming to announce to the world the return of life.

At the same time, her originally frail and elderly body also underwent subtle changes.

Although her appearance had not changed at all, she could feel that her withered and shrunken muscles were now bursting with a powerful strength that was completely disproportionate to them.

It felt as if she had truly returned to her youth.

She sat up in surprise, clenching her fists in astonishment, feeling an unprecedented surge of energy within her.

Seeing Carter's appearance, Peter nodded in satisfaction.

Next, we'll see if the rings are impressive enough!

Chapter 417 Returning to Youth

“Felicea,” Peter called softly.

Felicia understood immediately and went to the bedside, placing the ring into Carter's hand.

This powerful weapon, which Xu Wenwu had previously possessed, was not only a weapon, but also a source of immortality.

It allowed Xu Wenwu to live for over a thousand years without leaving any trace of time on his face.

At this moment, simply placing the ten rings on Carter's hands will greatly enhance her physique and extend her lifespan accordingly.

With Peter's manipulation, the power of the ten rings slowly flowed into Carter's body like a hot spring.

"My God..."

Carter let out another incredulous sigh, which she could clearly feel.

With the boost from the tenth ring, the power within her body increased dozens of times, while simultaneously nourishing every cell in her body at an alarming rate.

If the Dog Charm only rejuvenates aging cells, then the power of the Ten Rings amplifies the activity of Carter's cells to a level that even ordinary superheroes cannot achieve.

This undoubtedly provides an indestructible insurance layer for her already peak vitality.

Captain America, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. He couldn't understand what was happening before his eyes, but he could clearly feel that Peggy's aura was becoming more and more stable and powerful.

"Peter, this... this counts as a success, right?" Steve's voice trembled slightly, filled with excitement and anticipation.

Peter shook his head.

"It's still a long way off."

He looked at Carter and explained, "Ms. Carter now possesses almost limitless vitality and inexhaustible bodily functions. In a sense, you have achieved immortality."

"However, this condition is heavily dependent on the power of the Dog Charm and the Ten Rings. Moreover, they cannot immediately reverse Ms. Carter's external signs of aging, such as gray hair, wrinkles, and age spots."

"If this is all that can be done, then it is estimated that Ms. Carter will have to wear the dog charm and the ten rings for at least five years to fully recover to her youthful appearance."

Upon hearing this, Captain America's expression became somewhat dejected.

Humans are inherently greedy.

Seeing that his female companion had gained a long lifespan, he naturally hoped that his girlfriend could return to the beautiful and charming appearance he remembered.

Even Captain America couldn't overcome this mindset immediately.

On the other hand, he also knew in his heart that both the dog charm and the ten rings were important props for Peter and Felicia.

This situation has already caused Peter a lot of trouble.

I really shouldn't continue to bother Peter with my unreasonable demands.

Seeing Captain America's pained and conflicted expression, Felicia couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, Captain, Peter never fights a battle he's not sure he can win."

“Felicea, you understand me best! I already said, that's only on the premise of going to that level.”

Peter pulled Felicia close and kissed her, then said meaningfully:

"But I never said that this was all I could do, did I?"

As he spoke, his storage ring on his right hand flashed, and a syringe filled with a pale green liquid appeared in Peter's hand.

"This is...?" Steve looked at the potion and felt a strange sense of familiarity.

“Perfect lizard serum,” Peter explained.

"It can greatly enhance cell activity and self-healing ability, and accelerate metabolism."

"With the immense life force provided by the ten rings and the talisman, it is enough to help Ms. Carter's body complete a round of cell renewal within a few hours, completely removing those signs of aging."

As he spoke, Peter raised his hand and slowly injected the pale green liquid from the syringe into Carter's vein.

The moment the drug entered his body, Carter's body trembled slightly.

A burning sensation erupted from my heart and quickly spread throughout my body.

Her skin began to turn green, and veins bulged under her skin, as if countless small snakes were wriggling.

“Peggy!” Steve gripped her hand nervously.

"Don't worry, this is normal."

Peter said, turning the dial of the broken watch to transform himself into a 50% symbiote mode.

His half-arm transformed into a symbiote and immediately burrowed into Carter's body.

The symbiote's arms reached into Carter's limbs and bones, steadily helping him devour the cells that had gone berserk due to the fusion conflict.

However, under the engulfment and guidance of the symbiote Peter, the lizard genes in the perfect lizard serum began to perfectly fuse with Carter's cells.

Time passed by, second by second.

The ward was so quiet that only the faint ticking of the medical equipment could be heard.

Steve and Felicia held their breath, their eyes fixed on Carter on the hospital bed.

Miracles are happening slowly, little by little.

First, the age spots that covered my entire body gradually faded away.

Then, the silver hair, which had been growing out of the head, gradually turned back to a beautiful dark brown color, starting from the roots.

Next comes the skin.

The fine wrinkles on her face and hands were gradually smoothed out by an invisible hand, even revealing the firmness and smoothness unique to young people.

Finally, the emaciated body became plump again, and the loose muscles regained their strength and elasticity.

About an hour later, the 95-year-old man on the hospital bed had completely disappeared.

Instead, there was a stunningly beautiful woman in her early twenties, who looked to be in the prime of her life.

That face was exactly the same as the spirited woman in the faded photograph placed on the headboard of the hospital bed.

Looking at Peggy Carter, who had completely returned to the peerless beauty he remembered... no, even younger than him, Captain America was momentarily dazed.

“Peggy…”

He reached out and gently stroked his lover's young face with trembling hands, as if touching a priceless work of art, and hot tears welled up in his eyes.

Seemingly sensing his lover's call, Carter's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Those were clear and bright eyes, full of the vitality and vigor unique to young people.

She raised her hand somewhat blankly, looking at her fair, smooth palms without a single wrinkle, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Felicia, who was standing nearby, handed over a mirror at just the right moment.
