the novel's plot. Stepark attempted to capture Wilhelm but failed. When they returned, they found Myra missing. The next day, using the information gathered from the conversation, Haralan fought with an invisible Wilhelm and defeated him. As he bled, Wilhelm became visible. Hermann agreed to become visible and to be imprisoned. He was interrogated about the location of Myra and about the mysterious substance, but he was unable to answer as Storitz had never told him about his plans. When the guards entered his cell in order to release him, he was found dead of embolism. Back home they were surprised to find Myra, who had not left her bed at all - she was merely invisible. As Wilhelm had died, and the antidote had been destroyed, Myra was to remain invisible forever. In Paris, Henri had the idea that Storitz became visible because he bled and the same thing could be achieved for Myra through a surgery. However, he was soon informed that she was pregnant, so she could not undergo the surgery. Miraculously, Myra became visible after giving birth to her son and they moved to Paris, where Marc continued his job as a painter.

Earlier editions feature a version of the novel heavily rewritten by Jules Verne's son Michel, who improbably pushed the date of the story back to the 18th century, despite many references to 19th century discoveries, such as Roentgen rays.
