Chapter 118 The Gem of Reality Just a Step Away (First Update, Please Subscribe!)
After Hawke and Gwen left the restaurant, they pulled up a taxi that was waiting at the door.

After getting into the car, he patted the driver's seat in front, pointed to the red family car that had already started moving, and then took out two hundred dollars and handed it over.

"Driver, follow the car in front."

"no problem."

The driver's eyes lit up when he saw the two Franklin bills in front of him. He took the money, shifted gears, and accelerated in one smooth motion.

moment.

The taxi sped off and caught up with the red family car carrying Jane Foster that was driving ahead.

Gwen, sitting in the back seat, nudged Hawke's shoulder, then met Hawke's gaze in a very soft voice.

"We are..."

"That key to hell!"

Hawke smiled.

Again.

To go to Hell and retrieve his sister's soul from Mephisto is nothing short of a pipe dream if he doesn't fight Mephisto.

But if he were to go to Hell to find Mephisto with his current strength, it would be no different from courting death.

after all……

Even Mephisto could see that his cosmos did not exist in this universe. His cosmos was projected onto Earth after passing through the Phoenix constellation. At most, he could only unleash about 70% or 80% of his power.

Maybe playing some minor roles would work.

But if it comes to dealing with a character like Mephisto, who can practically be called a god, then there's nothing to watch.

and so!
From this perspective, Hawke wasn't wrong to say that the Reality Stone was his key to hell.

After all, only by obtaining the Reality Stone and completely transforming his cosmos into reality could he have the confidence to go to Hell and fight Mephisto.

Because once his cosmos is materialized, it will be at the level of a Gold Saint.

The Gold Saints fight Mephisto.

There's still potential.

After half an hour.

The red family car in front stopped at a container terminal.

The taxi driver also stopped the car.

Hawke and Gwen opened the car door and got out.

next second.

Gwen looked at a shipping container standing on the ground not far away and patted Hawke next to her.

"Hawk, look."

"Ah."

Hawke also saw the container standing on the ground and the one lying on top of it, nodded, and then looked at Jane Foster, her assistant Daisy Louise, and her assistant Ian, who were getting out of the red family car not far away.

Jane and Daisy also saw Hawke.

Daisy glanced uncertainly at Hawke and Gwen, then turned to Jane beside her and asked, "Did they... come with us?"

Jane didn't say anything.

Because the two people Daisy mentioned have already come over.

Hawke looked at his Thor girlfriend, who was staring at him, and smiled as he extended his right hand: "Hello, Dr. Fox."

Jane frowned and shook hands with Hawke.

"You are……"

"Hawk."

Hawke smiled slightly, then his gaze settled on an unfinished building not far away: "There are my things in there, and I'm here to take them away."

Say it.

Hawke smiled and nodded politely to Jane Foster in front of him, then said to Gwen beside him, "Let's go."

Gwen responded.

Hawke then pulled Gwen along and walked towards the unfinished building not far away.

He no longer needed Dr. Jane Foster to guide him.

because……

A trembling sixth sense was telling him that what he wanted was inside that unfinished building.

Jane Foster paused slightly as she watched Hawke and Gwen walk toward the unfinished building, then looked at Daisy beside her.

"Say it again, what's here?"

"Infinity Stones."

Following Hawke toward the unfinished building, Gwen learned from Hawke the purpose of their visit. She was slightly taken aback: "What is this?"

Hawke explained things to Gwen as they walked toward the unfinished building.

There are two versions of the origin of the Infinity Stones.

"The first version is that the Infinity Stones were formed from the condensation of Nemesis after her own death."

"Let's leave this version aside for now."

"The second version is that, according to legend, before the Big Bang, there were six singularities. After the Big Bang, the residual matter of these six singularities condensed into six gems that possess the fundamental forces of the universe."

"The Space Stone, capable of manipulating, distorting, and even rearranging space!"

"The Mind Stone, capable of manipulating minds, enhancing spiritual power, and projecting beams of energy!"

"A reality gem that distorts reality and reassembles matter."

"A power gem with limitless power and energy."

"The Time Stone that controls all of time."

"There is also the Soul Gem, which can establish a Soul Realm."

Hawke didn't hide anything and briefly explained the Infinity Stones to Gwen, then said to her, "You've seen one of them."

Gwen, still in shock as to whether Hawke was telling a story, instinctively looked at Hawke upon hearing this.

"I have seen?"

"Cosmic Cube".

Hawke shrugged: "It's described in history textbooks. It's the one that Captain America stole from Third Germany. Oh, and the wormhole over New York City last year was opened by the Tesseract. The Tesseract is the Space Stone I just mentioned."

Gwen suddenly realized, then shook her head: "Wait a minute, the Tesseract isn't a gem, is it? I remember." Hawke laughed: "The Tesseract is just the container for the Space Stone. You can think of it as a box that holds the gem."

Gwen nodded, seemingly understanding.

"So, who are we looking for this time..."

"Reality Gem".

Hawke said, looking at the unfinished building in front of him and hearing the exclamations coming from inside, before pulling Gwen inside.

He didn't want to bring Gwen here at first.

but……

Gwen understood him, which actually made him change his mind and bring Gwen here.

After the two entered the unfinished building, they looked in the direction of the exclamation and immediately saw a miraculous scene.

A boy standing on the stairs threw a bottle into the stairwell. Instead of falling to the ground and shattering as one would expect, the bottle disappeared abruptly halfway down the stairs and then reappeared in the air to continue its descent.

Repeatedly.

At this moment, the perpetual motion machine became a reality.

Gwen's pupils contracted.

"This……"

"hiss!"

Jane Foster, who was following behind, also looked at the scene in shock and couldn't help but gasp.

Daisy, the assistant beside him, said with a smile, "Now you know why I called you here."

Jane Foster snapped out of her daze, said nothing, took out her handheld device, and walked towards the stairs.

Hawke smiled at Gwen beside him.

Hold me tight.

"what?"

Hawke didn't say anything, but pulled Gwen into his arms.

next second.

call out!
In the blink of an eye, Hawke had already carried Gwen past Jane Foster and her assistant Daisy, as well as the three little brats who were having a great time playing with bottles. With all five senses activated, he followed the unknown fluctuations in the air and arrived at the fourth-floor corridor of the unfinished building.

After Gwen got out of Hawke's arms, she unconsciously covered her forehead.

"Hawk!"

"Ok?"

"Stop doing that."

Gwen suppressed her inner turmoil and said seriously to Hawke, "Unless it's an emergency, you're not allowed to do this."

Hawke readily agreed: "Okay, you stay here."

He glanced at the positional fluctuations coming from the front of the corridor, thought for a moment, and decided not to let Gwen continue following him.

Because while the Infinity Stones are incredibly powerful, each stone also has incredibly powerful side effects.

None of the Infinity Stones are accessible to the naked eye.

but……

Just as Hawke was about to step forward alone, his sixth sense suddenly kicked in.

He glanced instinctively at Jane Foster, who had already climbed up the stairs.

Eyes facing each other.

Hawke spoke first.

"Dr. Fox is planning to go inside and take a look?"

"..."

Jane looked in the direction the instrument in her hand was pointing, then frowned at Hawke's smile: "Are you planning to block our way?"

Hawke smiled, said nothing, but simply stepped aside and gestured for them to proceed.

The sixth sense that had just been triggered suddenly reminded him of something.

That is……

In the original storyline, it's more accurate to say that the Reality Stone found her than that Jane Foster found the Reality Stone.

The Reality Gem is right in front of you, and you only have one chance.

therefore.

Just in case, he planned to have Jane Foster guide him to the Reality Stone.

Jane hesitated when she saw Hawke making way for her.

After all, "unsolicited kindness is either a lie or a thief"—this is a proverb from the East, but there are similar sayings in the West, and the gist is the same.

Seeing this, Hawke chuckled, put his mouth close to Gwen's ear, and whispered, "Don't be surprised if I disappear later. I'll probably be back in about six hours."

Upon hearing this, Gwen's pupils contracted slightly as she looked at Hawke.

Hawke smiled slightly, kissed Gwen, glanced at Jane, and then walked towards the corridor.

When Jane saw Hawke and Gwen kissing, she couldn't help but think of her own god boyfriend who had time to participate in the Battle of New York but no time to come see her. She gritted her teeth, glanced at Gwen with a hint of envy, and then followed after her.

Gwen was a little confused by Jane's look, but she quickly looked at Hawke walking ahead and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

As Hawke walked down the abandoned corridor, he could clearly feel the contraction of unknown energy fluctuations around him.

But soon.

This energy, which had just contracted, suddenly became restless again.

Jane caught up.

Just as Jane caught up, and even walked in front of Hawke as if to prove she wasn't afraid, the unknown energy around them began to stir violently.

The surrounding space was instantly distorted by the surging energy.

next second.

boom!
A singularity appeared, and then, as if it had caused a spatial collapse, in the blink of an eye, Jane, who was walking in front, and Hawke, who had put his right hand on Jane's shoulder at the last moment, both disappeared from reality.

Gwen stared wide-eyed, Hawke's voice echoing in her ears.

"Don't worry, I'll be out soon!"

"..."
