Accidental shut down during the Factor reset process MacBook Pro 13' macos11.6

While attempting a factory reset on my mac, I decided to stop the reset process while it was 20% of the way through. Now I've begun using this workflow Power button on -> hold down option for 20 seconds. Not I connected via wifi, and it brings me to OS XUtilities. Then I access Disk Utility. The disk utility look completely different than when originally attempted the reset

Can just restore my computer from here and do a factory reset later on?
What do I do on the DISK utility page?
Should I just finish the reset process?

Any help is appreciated.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4
