Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 159 The Power of Elegant Language from the East (Fourth Update!)
The word "hell" was uttered.

Sharon, who was about to drive Hawke there, froze.

after awhile.

Sharon snapped out of her daze and looked at Hawke.

"what?"

"hell!"

Hawke repeated the sentence.

next second.

His own laws of life and death were finally able to locate the coordinates of the hell dimension through the hellish vortex he had just experienced.

Without hesitation, Hawke threw a punch.

bang——

The laws of life and death swirled around the fist peak, and the moment it came into contact with the space in front of it, the space shattered like a mirror.

Immediately afterwards, a pitch-black vortex, exuding an aura of death and misfortune, appeared before Hawke's eyes.

Through the vortex of death before him, Hawke could clearly see the dark gates of hell on the other side.

Sharon, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed.

"I've heard that there are jackals in this desert at night."

"Go back quickly."

"No need to wait for me."

Hawke turned to look at Sharon, who had a blank expression, gave her a reminder, and then stepped into the hellish vortex that he had just created with great force, under Sharon's gaze.

call out!
Just as his figure disappeared into the hellish vortex, the surrounding air suddenly contracted, and the hellish vortex vanished without a trace.

All of a sudden.

The canyon once again returned to a state of deathly silence.

Ouch!

Not far away, jackals, seemingly sensing the departure of a powerful figure, emerged from their hidden cave and howled excitedly at the bright moon overhead.

Sharon snapped out of her daze amidst the howling wolves, instinctively shook her head, and then quickly jogged toward her vehicle parked outside the canyon.

In front of the gate of hell.

Hawke stepped out of the Hell Vortex and reappeared at the Gates of Hell, looking up at the gates before him.

He had some recollection of this door.

because……

When her younger sister Anya was summoned by the Hell Witch, she sensed such a door.

correct.

He recalled the moment before his sister Anya was pulled back into the Gates of Hell, when numerous evil spirits lurked around the Gates of Hell, seemingly intent on tearing his sister apart.

next second.

Hawke looked around.

Before the gates of hell lies a bottomless cliff, shrouded in thick black mist invisible to mortals, symbolizing the boundary between life and death.

Hidden within these thick black fogs are numerous creatures, known as evil spirits, who neither want to go to hell nor return to the human world.

Just as Hawke's gaze fell upon the thick fog, the evil spirits hidden within, who had been ravenously thirsty for who knows how long, let out a deafening scream and swept towards Hawke, who stood before the gates of hell.

They couldn't possibly realize how powerful Hawk was, and if they could, would they have become evil spirits?

The most important thing.

They were very hungry.

All of a sudden.

Hawke saw only the overwhelming black mist, which seemed to have come alive, rapidly approaching him.

Numerous claws emerged from the black mist, seemingly trying to pull Hawke, who stood before the gates of hell, inside.

Hawke watched this scene with a slight upturn of his lips. His right hand, which he had lowered, slowly moved its five fingers toward his palm at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ten seconds later.

The moment Hawke turned around, as the endless black mist behind him dissipated, he simultaneously unleashed a punch that slammed directly into the Gates of Hell in front of him.

"Mephisto!"

"get out!"

"boom!"

Amidst a flurry of fist shadows, the once indestructible Gates of Hell collapsed backward with a deafening roar.

The sound of the gates of hell collapsing rang out, like a resounding bell, echoing throughout the entire hell dimension.

Mephisto, who had already returned to his palace and was pondering how to trick Hawke again in order to obtain Hawke's soul, was startled by the loud noise. Then, hearing Hawke's voice echoing throughout the entire Hell dimension, he jumped up from his throne.

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Logically speaking, his power should not be able to cross the line between life and death to reach my hell.

Is it...

Is he out of his mind?
Mephisto's mind raced, and a possibility came to mind. His eyes lit up, and he quickly took a step forward.

When he reappeared, he was already in the spot where he had just slapped Johnny away.

next second.

Hawke appeared silently in front of Mephisto.

Mephisto, who looked like a gentlemanly middle-aged man, was the first to greet everyone with a smile.

"Hawk, welcome to my hell."

"and then."

Hawke looked calmly at Mephisto, who seemed eager to put on a show, and mirrored Mephisto's expression.

“I’ve already killed your unfilial son. By the way, don’t be polite.”

"……Thanks!"

Mephisto's eyes lit up, and he sounded very happy. Then he sighed, "Thank you for your help. If I weren't currently unable to go to Earth, I would have loved to chop off that unfilial son's head with my own hands..."

Before Mephisto could finish speaking, Hawke added, "By the way, I was afraid he'd come back to haunt me after returning to Hell, so I destroyed his soul too. You won't blame me, will you?"

The Law of Life and Death is bound to the soul of the Demonic Witch; to obtain the Law of Life and Death, one must seize the Demonic Witch's soul and refine it instantly. However…

Since Mephisto wants to perform, then he'll just have to perform with Mephisto.

Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well treat it as a joke to amuse an idiot.

Hawke thought to himself, his keen senses picking up on the hint of anger that surfaced deep in Mephisto's eyes after those words were spoken.

But Mephisto quickly concealed his emotions and laughed, "How could that be? I'm thanking you so much. If this rebellious son succeeds, and the Sorcerer Supreme comes knocking on my door, I'll be in a very difficult position."

While talking.

Mephisto then changed the subject, warmly inviting Hawke: "Come on, let's go back to my palace. Anya is in my palace. Perfect timing, let's have a drink, and then I'll have Anya come over to meet you and have a chat. You two siblings can have a good catching up."

His words were undoubtedly a reminder to Hawke.

Your sister is in my hands.

Hawke ignored the implication in Mephisto's words, smiled, and refused, "I won't drink. Call my sister over, I'll take her away. No need to trouble you."

Mephisto was taken aback.

"You have found the body to house Anya's soul."

“It’s the same if I take her away first. After going up there, I can just find a random passerby, chop him up, and then put my sister in there. That should be even more effective. Let’s do it while it’s hot, what do you think?”

"...How can this be allowed?"

Mephisto, hearing Hawke's opportunistic remark, felt a bit dizzy and quickly said, "That won't do. Didn't I tell you? You need to find your sister's body first, and then I will release her."

Hawke inwardly sneered.

Mephisto then said, "Well then, let's go back to the palace first. You've helped me so much, I should thank you properly, and your sister is waiting for you at the palace."

His enthusiasm remains undiminished.

Once Hawke enters the palace, he will be his lamb to the slaughter.

Actually, this place works too.

But if he were to devour his soul in front of his sister, it would bring Mephisto even greater pleasure.

Mephisto smiled cruelly to himself, but outwardly he smiled warmly and gentlemanly.

Eyes facing each other.

Hawke chuckled.

"Fine, a soul will do. Bring my sister's soul with you, Mephisto."

"..."

Mephisto's smile, which seemed to say "I'm seriously considering your feelings," slowly disappeared as he met Hawke's gaze.

His expression turned somewhat cold.

"What, you don't believe me?"

"Do not believe!"

"..."

Mephisto fell silent.

He stared at Hawke expressionlessly.

Hawke was looking at him too.

Mephisto spoke again, this time his voice was not only cold but also sinister.

"Hawk, do you know what your biggest mistake was?"

"Oh."

"You're too arrogant, just like that stupid Johnny."

Seeing that his attempt to lure the enemy into a trap had failed, Mephisto, no longer willing to feign ignorance, sneered, "If you were on Earth, I couldn't do anything to you, but now that you're in Hell, you're not leaving."

As he spoke, the sound of skin cracking echoed from Mephisto's body.

in a blink.

Mephisto's demonic form, approximately 2.2 meters tall, emerged from a human skin that was at most 1.7 meters tall.

With horns on his head and a tail behind him, Mephisto, revealing his true demonic form, spewed sparks from his hollow nostrils: "To use a human phrase, you have a path to heaven but choose not to take it, and a path to hell but choose to seek it out."

Hawke's expression didn't change much after Mephisto's demonic form was revealed. He calmly looked at Mephisto and said, "So, you never intended to release my sister's soul."

Mephisto burst into laughter!

"freed!"

"Ha ha!"

"I was lying to you. You can't believe the devil's words. Didn't your mother tell you that when you were little?"

"correct."

"Forgot? You don't have a mother!"

Having already seen Hawke as a lamb to the slaughter, Mephisto shed his disguise and began to mock Hawke with unbridled and almost cruel sarcasm.

Hawke glanced expressionlessly at Mephisto, who was laughing maniacally.

"I fuck your mother!"

"..."

Mephisto's arrogant expression froze.

obviously.

His supposedly sharp tongue proved utterly ineffective against the ancient, elegant language of the East.

Mephisto's demonic face, which looked as if it had been charred red, turned even redder and warmer at a visible speed after he realized what was happening.

His golden demonic eyes were fixed on Hawk, who remained calm and composed, and he practically forced out a sentence.

"you wanna die!"

"Can you kill me?"

Hawke's tone remained calm, and as he spoke, a black phoenix was projected behind him through the spatial display.

next moment.

The black phoenix spread its wings in the sky above the hell dimension and then let out a phoenix cry towards the hell dimension!
"Wow—!"
