Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 149 Christmas Holiday, Up the Snow Mountain (Second Update!)

As Wu Xinmo raised his right hand to receive the contract, his pupils dilated slowly at that moment.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The finger that appeared before him gave Wu Xinmo a slow, unsettling feeling, yet at the same time, the movement was as swift as lightning.

Bang!
At this moment, time and space seemed to be distorted, and an ominous purplish-black flame suddenly appeared at the tip of Hawke's finger.

The purplish-black flames had no temperature whatsoever, resembling a solidified mass of resentment and fear, vaguely outlining the shape of a mournful phoenix wing. Silent and still, they carried a terrifying pressure capable of annihilating souls.

next second.

Hawke's right finger touched the center of the Witchheart Demon's forehead.

boom!
Wu Xinmo's body stiffened instantly, standing there like a piece of rigid wood, his pupils contracting violently, then losing focus, and finally dilating.

Phoenix Illusion Fist.

Phoenix's signature finishing move.

It does not use physical attacks, but rather mental attacks, using absolute energy to impact the target's brain, forcibly evoking the enemy's deepest fear memories and creating hallucinations.

Enemies who fall victim to this tactic either succumb to their deepest fears or break free from illusions and achieve profound enlightenment, thus greatly increasing their strength.

obviously.

The Witch Heart Demon is not the latter.

Hawke looked at the instantly frozen Witchheart Demon before him, a slight smile playing on his lips. The Phoenix Bronze Cloth he had just donned disintegrated once more, reassembling into the shape of a phoenix and returning to his own cosmos.

This armor was made by him using the vibranium, meteorite, and gamma he collected on his first attempt, as a backup.

The reason it's called a backup is because the current Saint Cloth, which looks exactly like a Gold Cloth but is actually just for show, can no longer provide him with an effective boost to his strength.

Let's say that.

If he wears this armor and his cosmos is fully unleashed, the armor will still crack.

Ultimately, this Saint Cloth is only of bronze level.

But Hawke didn't want to make the Silver Cloth.

and so……

Since returning from London, Hawke has been considering putting the real Phoenix Gold Cloth on the agenda.

Work must be done in the first place.

He had already decided what materials he would use for his true Golden Phoenix Cloth.

This time it's not vibranium.

Vibranium won't work.

On Earth, vibranium, capable of absorbing all kinetic energy, is indeed the best metal.

But this is not the case when looking at the entire universe.

The most important thing.

The Gold Cloth and the Bronze Cloth are fundamentally different.

In a word.

The Gold Cloth itself contains the energy of a sun.

Vibranium can only counteract kinetic energy, but it can't store energy.

and so……

It's no longer feasible to continue using vibranium to create the Gold Cloths.

Urumetal must be used.

It's the Uru metal used to forge Thor's hammer and the future Stormbreaker.

correct.

Thanos's double-edged sword, which shattered Captain America's vibranium shield in just a few blows and resembled a propeller, was also made of Uru metal.

Hawke appeared to be trying to lift Thor's hammer at Christmas, but in reality, he was confirming whether Uru metal met his requirements.

But Hawke now has a better option.

The Ghost Robe!

In Saint Seiya, there are not only Gold Cloths, but also Hades Cloths, which are of comparable performance to Gold Cloths.

Moreover, compared to the Gold Cloth which has a variety of materials, the Hades Cloth is forged using only one type of material.

Gem of the underworld.

This is why, when Gwen asked him what he planned to do, Hawke replied without hesitation, "Simple, just find a place in the underworld."

Even if he manages to forge the Gold Cloth now, he won't be able to wear it anytime soon.

But the Phoenix Cloth isn't out of the question either.

He has the Aether particle, and now he has obtained the four primordial elements.

The laws of life and death are right before our eyes.

at the moment!

Hawke withdrew his right finger, shrugged, and looked at the Witchheart Demon standing blankly in front of him, his eyes filled with unparalleled fear.

"Feel sorry."

"Even demons are not to be trusted."

"Mephisto is untrustworthy, and so are you."

"so……"

"I choose to do it myself!"

As Hawke finished speaking, with a bang, a wisp of phoenix fire ignited beneath the feet of the Witchheart Demon, instantly engulfing its entire body.

The Witchheart Demon, engulfed in the Phoenix Flame, neither shouted nor yelled, for his consciousness was still deeply immersed in the unparalleled fear created by Hawke's Phoenix Illusion Fist.

but……

This could not stop the Phoenix Fire from refining it.

In the blink of an eye.

Refined instantly!

Hawke extended his right hand, and the Phoenix Flame landed on it, revealing a fragment of law he had just obtained by refining the Witch Heart Demon.

The reason it's called a fragment is because the Demonic Heart of the Witch doesn't actually possess the laws of life and death. He has the laws of life and death because of his identity, not because of who he is.

But that was enough for Hawke. With this fragment of the Law of Life and Death, he could construct his own Underworld before his own cosmos materialized.

what?
The rules are incomplete?

It doesn't matter. Once his microcosm materializes, let alone the mere laws of life and death, he will instantly grasp the divine authority possessed by all the gods in the universe.

Just like Odin, the king of the gods in the World Tree universe.

Odin, the king of the gods, is not only the god of war, but also the god of prophecy, the god of kingship, the god of wisdom, and even the god of healing, magic, and poetry.

This is why Odin is called the father of the gods.

He is a god, the king of gods, the king of all gods, and the father of the gods.

The same will happen after Hawke's microcosm materializes.

To be precise, he would be even more powerful than Odin.

Because the World Tree wasn't created by Odin, but the microcosm that will materialize will be entirely created by Hawke himself.

Therefore, at that time all great power will return to itself.

Is there anything wrong with this statement?
No problem.

Of course.

That's all in the future.

at the moment……

He was still figuring out how to borrow the Time Stone from the Sorcerer Supreme to speed up his forming Underworld.

Hawke watched as the fragments of the Laws of Life and Death disappeared into the forming core of the Underworld, then took a deep breath and thought to himself.

However, he already had a plan in mind on how to persuade the Supreme Master.

But it's unclear whether the Venerable Master will accept it.

After half an hour.

Hawke raised his hand and knocked on Carter Slade's door again.

The door opened.

Hawke looked at Carter Slade who opened the door and said with a smile, "In the spirit of fair trade, I came back to tell you that the Heart Demon has been dealt with, so you can rest assured."

Carter Shrew listened to these words with disbelief.

"So fast?"

"Is it that difficult? It's just a demon, how long will it take to fight?"

His current strength is comparable to Thor's.

As for the Witchheart Demon.

He's said to be the son of Mephisto, the god of the hell dimension. But what else does the Witchheart Demon have left?

It was just a one-dimensional demon, but one with fragments of the laws of life and death.

Even if Hawke had caught them off guard, in a real fight, the Demonic Heart of the Witch would still be defeated in fifty rounds at most. If it went beyond fifty rounds, it wouldn't be a matter of the Demonic Heart unleashing its full power, but rather a matter of it suppressing its own strength.

Doing this will not only fail to give readers any sense of satisfaction, but will also make them feel like they have been fed a huge amount by the author.

The most important thing.

It's only eight o'clock now. If we hurry, we can catch the last flight back to New York City tonight.

Anyway, he had already done what he promised Mephisto.

That old guy probably never dreamed that he would act so quickly. He landed in Texas in the afternoon, and before 8 p.m., he had already chopped up his unfilial son.

Tsk tsk.

Surely Mephisto hasn't even had time to activate his backup plan yet?

However, it's not that he was too fast.

Mephisto is just too slow.

Hawke felt a pang of pity, but also a touch of schadenfreude. After watching Carter Slade ride away on his horse, he turned his gaze away and made a phone call to Sharon.

"Hey."

"I've finished my business, I'm heading back to New York City now."

"what!"

Sharon, on the other end of the phone, was taken aback by these words: "But didn't you only arrive this afternoon?"

Hawke laughed and said, "It just so happens that the things I want to do and the people I want to see all happen to coincide, and besides, it's the Christmas holiday, and I have to go home to be with my fiancée."

During the holidays, he left Gwen alone in New York City while he went to Texas by himself.

Tsk tsk.

What kind of situation is this?

Although Gwen wouldn't be angry about it, if a certain doting father found out about this, he would probably be sulking with her for quite a while.

After all, this Christmas was the first one he had spent since his relationship with Gwen changed.

Significant.

After hanging up the phone with Sharon, Hawke looked up and, with a boom, thought of Gwen waiting for him in New York City. Too lazy to take a plane back, he directly located the coordinates of New York City. With the appearance of the phantom phoenix in the sky and his Saint Cloth protecting him, his speed directly exceeded Mach 500, and he sped towards New York City like a streak of light in the night sky.

Hawke was eager to stay and see what kind of surprise Mephisto had in store for him.

But he was eager to return home.

The most important thing.

Come and go without indecent!
Although we don't know what kind of surprise Mephisto has prepared for him in Texas, there must be some surprise.

But his surprise was only prepared with the ingredients ready; it hadn't even been packaged yet.

and so……

Go back first, hurry up and prepare the gift for Mephisto.

By the time.

Hawke thought he might not be surprised by the surprise Mephisto had prepared.

But what surprise did he prepare for Mephisto?

Hawke can guarantee that.

Mephisto would be very surprised when he sees this!
