Chapter 119 The Differentiated Sealing Device (Second Update, Please Subscribe!)

An absolutely dark and silent place.

As the red space, seemingly alive and flowing like blood, suddenly appeared, Jane Foster, who had been pulled in unexpectedly, was once again pushed out unexpectedly, staggering forward.

Ahead lay a bottomless cliff.

Jane's eyes widened in terror.

next second.

An arm was placed on her shoulder, instantly stopping her from stepping halfway off the cliff.

"Be careful."

"..."

Jane instinctively turned around, looked at Hawke who appeared in front of her, her face filled with horror, and instinctively backed away.

then……

With a scream as her right foot slipped and she fell into thin air, Hawke had no choice but to reach out again and pull Jane back from the brink of falling into the bottomless abyss for the second time.

Hawke was speechless: "Be careful again. I've saved you twice, but I can't save you a third time."

Once, twice, but not a third time.

If Jane Foster were to act out the same situation again, he certainly wouldn't make a move.

After all, no matter how much he tries to save someone, he can't stop them from courting death.

After Hawke finished speaking, he ignored Jane Foster and looked around the space. Then, he walked along the stone path and arrived at a large platform.

The space where this platform is located appears to be in a state of weightlessness.

Countless massive, broken black stone tablets floated upside down in every corner of the platform.

But what caught Hawke's attention most was the huge, upside-down ruins of a torn-up Gothic spire in the distance from the platform.

The wreckage is not the point.

The key feature is the black geometric structure at the base of the church, which exudes a deep and ominous aura.

Within this geometric device, a liquid resembling viscous blood seemed to flow, leap, and sway.

Reality gem!

Also called—

Ether particles!

Of the six Infinity Stones, the other five are in solid form, while the Reality Stone is unique in that it appears as a strangely flowing red liquid.

But it is not important.

The important thing is that the Reality Stone is the Aether, and the Aether is the Reality Stone.

This is enough.

Hawke looked at the Reality Stone, which was flowing within the strange geometric device and was right in front of him, and then walked towards it.

next second.

Click!

The bizarre geometric device was filled with arcs of electricity in the pitch-black space, and then, a thick arc of electricity, as thick as an arm, instantly struck Hawke.

Hawke raised an eyebrow and vanished from his spot in an instant.

boom!
The arc of electricity passed through Hawke's afterimage and struck a boulder behind him. With a violent explosion, the boulder instantly turned to dust, without even a single pebble the size of a fingernail flying out.

The bizarre geometric structure was covered with countless electric arcs that resembled silver snakes dancing wildly.

In an instant, silver, leaping, and flashing arcs of electricity almost illuminated the entire sealed area. The wildly flying arcs of electricity transformed into a storm, pelting down on Hawke.

boom!
boom!
boom!
what's the situation?
Hawke's figure shifted and changed in the air, dodging the arcs of electricity that his intuition told him would hurt him, and he was very puzzled.

In the original storyline, Jane Foster didn't seem to encounter such a situation.

Hawke's thoughts raced, and then, as if he had just realized something, he looked at the arcs of electricity that almost covered the sealed land in front of him, and after leaping through the air, he returned to the position where he had just stood.

As he retreated, the geometric device sealing the ether particles flickered with electric arcs, but it did not emit another arc.

really!

Seeing this, Hawke thought to himself.

Just as he thought.

Rather than saying Jane Foster found the Aether, it would be more accurate to say that the Aether specifically sought out Jane Foster and pulled her here.

The reason is simple.

The Aether particles need Jane Foster to leave this sealed place.

As for why it can only be simple.

Who can blame her? She's Thor's girlfriend, and she carries Thor's aura.

Long ago, when the king of Asgard was still Thor's grandfather, Bauer, the Aether was in the hands of the Dark Elves.

After defeating the Dark Elves and seizing the Aether, Bauer intended to destroy it.

but……

If Infinity Stones could be destroyed, would they still be called Infinity Stones?

Therefore, Bauer had no choice but to settle for second best and built a device to seal the ether particles, which is the geometric device for sealing ether particles that is right before our eyes.

Since this device was created by Thor's grandfather, Paul, it is natural that its attack mode is also different for different people.

Jane Foster is Thor's girlfriend, and in a sense, if Thor insists, Jane Foster will be the Queen of Asgard in the future, so this device naturally has no effect on Jane.

As for the others?
No need to say anything more, just chop him up.

For example, Hawke.

Hawke currently has no way to get close to the sealing device.

After all, this thing was created by the previous Asgardian god-king, Bauer, during his heyday.

Hawke needs ether particles.

Bauer ignored and sealed away the Aether particles.

It's obvious which is stronger and which is weaker; there's no need for comparison.

and so……

Hawke stared at the geometric device that sealed the ether particles, its eyes gleaming as the arc of light gradually faded and returned to calm after he retreated.

at this time.

Jane's voice rang out from the side.

"who are you?"

"Where is this?" Jane, who hadn't yet recovered from the eerie surroundings, was startled when she saw the geometric device with crackling, familiar-sounding arcs of electricity not far away. She looked at Hawke standing in front of her and asked this question.

She had just panicked, but now that she had come to her senses, it was clear that Hawke meant her no harm.

after all……

Facts speak louder than words. Judging from Hawke's quick reaction to dodge the electric arc, if he had any designs on her, she would have had no chance to resist.

Hawke listened to Jane's voice, turned his head to look at Jane beside him, and then turned his gaze back to the geometric device that sealed the ether particles not far away.

Jane frowned, looking at Hawke who showed no response whatsoever.

"hello?"

"Don't rush me, I'm thinking about whether I should lie to you."

"..."

Jane's lips twitched upon hearing this.

"what?"

"I'm wondering whether to tell you the truth or lie to you."

Hawke turned to look at Jane.

Jane looked at Hawke, whose expression was serious and who didn't seem to be joking at all, opened her mouth, and glanced at the eerie and deathly silence around her again: "Where exactly is this place?"

Hawke shook his head.

"I do not know."

"Is this a lie?"

"No, this is the truth."

Hawke shook his head again: "I suspect this might be Watt Alheim, one of the Nine Realms."

He recalled the original plot.

It seems that the god-king Bauer, after obtaining the Aether, sealed it in Watt Alheim.

But he wasn't entirely sure.

After all, that was a movie. This is reality. Vatalfheim is the planet of the Dark Elves. Logically speaking, it's unlikely that they would seal the Aether particles taken from the Dark Elves on the Dark Elves' planet.

That doesn't make sense.

Jane was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then blurted out, "Dark elves?"

Hawke snapped out of his reverie, looked at Jane, and then chuckled, “I almost forgot, when Thor came to Earth back then, he gave you a rundown of the Nine Realms.”

Jane's expression became somewhat excited when she heard Hawke mention Thor's name, and she looked at Hawke.

"You know Thor?"

"do not know."

"..."

Jane's expression froze once again. She opened her mouth, then closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and forcibly swallowed back the phrase "national essence" that was about to slip out.

After all, this place is very eerie.

Although she sensed that Hawke meant her no harm.

But what if?
Hawke chuckled as he watched this scene: "That's true. I know Thor, but I've never met him, and he's never met me."

Jane calmed her inner turmoil, reopened her eyes, and without speaking, followed Hawke's gaze to the strange geometric device that had just emitted the familiar aura of Thor's lightning.

She also saw the ethereal particles flowing within the strange geometric device, emanating an ominous aura that resembled the flow of viscous blood.

Jane then looked at Hawke again: "You want what's in here, right?"

one more time.

She's not stupid; a stupid person can't become a PhD.

Hawke didn't look at Jane, but nodded as he gazed at the ether particles so close to him.

"Yes, but with the seal of the God-King Bao'er, I can't get it."

"Bauer?"

"Saul's grandfather."

"hiss!"

Jane gasped, her gaze also falling on the strange geometric device, before realizing, "You mean this thing was made by Thor's grandfather? No wonder the lightning just now gave me a familiar feeling."

Hawke said nothing.

Jane frowned again.

"Um, you want this, but I don't. Could you take it back first?"

"No."

"why?"

"I was only able to get in because I followed you."

Hawke chuckled and looked at Jane: "Did you think I was the one who dragged you in?"

Jane frowned.

"That is……"

"Look."

Hawke pointed at the sealed aether particle and said to Jane, "That thing pulled you in. It wanted you to help it seal it, but I wanted to get it. So the truth is, I was able to get in here by following you."

"I?"

Jane looked somewhat incredulous and pointed to herself.

"why?"

"That's because you're Thor's girlfriend."

Hawke shrugged: "It won't strike you unless you get close to it, since it was built by Grandpa Thor."

Jane's lips twitched as she recalled the image of the strange device flashing with arcs of electricity, unleashing a barrage of attacks on Hawke.

"real or fake?"

"Don't believe me? Then try it yourself."

"Just try it."

"..."
