Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 217 The Cloning Project Exposed (Fourth Update!)
As Gwen looked at Sharon's serious expression and thought about Dr. Myrick, the cloning expert who had been switched out, Sharon mentioned again, a terrible thought instantly appeared in her mind.

Just as she was feeling somewhat shocked and incredulous.

Tony Stark's voice interrupted her, but also confirmed the guess that had just popped into her mind.

"hiss!"

"Clon Hawke".

"But they didn't..."

Gwen gasped, looking at Tony who had just walked over. She instinctively wanted to deny the terrible guess, but suddenly paused.

She was trying to say that Hydra didn't have Hawke's DNA at all, so how could they possibly clone Hawke?

But at that moment, Gwen suddenly remembered an experience she had once shared with Hawke when he sold his blood.

That was before Hawke went to seek revenge on the Hulk.

She remembered it clearly.

Anna was the one who came to buy blood at that time.

So to say……

Gwen realized what was happening and instinctively looked at Hawke.

"Anna..."

"She wouldn't lie to me."

Hawke's mind had returned by this moment, just as Tony Stark revealed that Hydra seemed to be cloning him.

Hawke sighed inwardly after saying that.

It's not because of cloning.

It was because he realized he could no longer return to the depths of his seventh sense.

but……

Forget it.

Being too hasty is not advisable.

Recklessly.

If I gain it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's my fate. Anyway, he still has the Mind Gem as a backup, and it's only a matter of time before he gets the Seventh Sense.

Hawke thought to himself, then stood up from his seat, looked at Gwen, and said with a smile, "If Anna lied to me, do you think Alexander Pierce would still rather die than reveal Anna's whereabouts?"

Upon hearing this, Gwen raised an eyebrow.

Hawke fell silent, looking at the computer files that Jarvis had recovered on the big screen. He then appeared in front of the screen in a flash.

Sharon glanced at Gwen instinctively.

"Does this Anna have Hawke's blood sample?"

"Ah."

Gwen nodded, glanced at Hawke who was looking at the documents on the big screen, and then said softly, "Hawk once made a deal with Anna using his blood."

Upon hearing this, Sharon exchanged a glance with Tony, who was standing next to her.

The two looked enlightened.

After recovering the document that appeared to be a clone of Hawke, they were still wondering how Hydra obtained Hawke's DNA data.

It can't be that they disguised themselves as cleaners, collected the trash at 521A Palm Street, picked out the used condoms, and extracted them like that.

The most important thing.

The time doesn't match up.

Based on the data that Tony and his team recovered, it seems that Hydra had begun to explore the possibility of successfully cloning Hawk long before Hawk moved to Palm Street.

Now, listening to Gwen's explanation, the confusion in their hearts was finally resolved.

Then--

The three of them simultaneously turned their gaze toward Hawke, who was standing not far away.

Hawke had already skimmed through all the files that Jarvis had managed to repair and retrieve from the Hydra system.

Yes.

Hydra is indeed trying to clone him.

However, Hawke was not surprised by this.

After all, he had heard Gwen explain why Hydra was fighting this time, and he already knew that the Dr. Merrick he was looking for had been switched by Hydra.

So when Hawke heard this, he already thought of Alexander Pierce's attitude of preferring death to speaking, and then combined it with his conversation with Sistryk in Sokovia, recalling Sistryk's statement that "no one in this world is immortal, and you are no exception," and he already had a rough guess in his mind.

This is merely a confirmation of his suspicions.

This also explains why Alexander Pierce, instead of being on good terms with him, foolishly chose to offend him.

clone!

After Hydra switched cloning expert Dr. Myrick, they intended to clone Hawk, a Hawk who truly belonged to and was under their control, in order to kill the real Hawk, who, although on good terms with them, was also on good terms with S.H.I.E.L.D.

Only cloning, once discovered by him, would enrage him completely and lead Hydra to its utter destruction.

After all, Hawke himself once said that his blood could be used for anything, as long as he wasn't cloned.

Therefore, Alexander Pierce remained steadfast to the death.

Even now, endlessly trapped in the frozen underworld, dying and being resurrected again and again, he has never begged for mercy.

only……

All of this was just the unauthorized idea of ​​Alexander Pierce, Hydra, and others.

Hawke?

one more time.

When he sold his blood, he had already considered that Hydra might try to use his blood to do all sorts of strange things.

This includes cloning.

After all, Hydra is no benevolent organization. They prepared so many meteorites and gifts; they must have something to gain.

It could even be said that their ambitions are quite grand.

but!
Hawke didn't care at all. The reason he told Anna not to use his blood for cloning was just a casual remark, while also giving Hydra a warning.

His unspoken meaning was simple.

You need to clone, clone secretly, just don't let me know. And then…

Hydra seems to have misunderstood him.

this--

Hawke's thoughts raced, and after realizing this, he chuckled softly, then looked away, shaking his head silently as he turned away.

next second.

He then saw three people looking at him: one tense, one worried, and one curious.

Hawke glanced at Gwen, who looked nervous, raised an eyebrow, and walked up to her.

"what happened?"

"...Hawk, are you alright?"

Gwen snapped out of her daze, looked at Hawke who showed no unusual expression, and asked cautiously.

After all, this is a clone.

Hydra was secretly cloning Hawk, which explains why Alexander Pierce would rather die than reveal it.

After all, not speaking out means certain death, and speaking out might lead to an even more miserable death, so why bother speaking out at all?

Hawke chuckled as he looked at Gwen, who was looking tense. "Don't be so nervous. It's just cloning. I guessed it was possible when Alexander Pierce refused to talk about it even at the cost of his life."

Gwen paused slightly upon hearing this, then looked at Hawke: "You already guessed it?"

Hawke touched his chin with his intact right hand: "At the time it was just a guess, but now it's been proven. Why would Hydra want to switch Dr. Merrick? Isn't it just for the cloning technology that Dr. Merrick controls?"

Cloning technology is actually not difficult.

Especially in the Marvel Universe, where cutting-edge technology abounds, cloning technology can only be described as high-end, not top-tier.

However, life is a forbidden zone for science.

Other scientists have also conducted cloning experiments, but while they were fine cloning animals, when it came to cloning humans, they could only produce a pile of rotten flesh.

But Dr. Merrick is different.

Let's say that.

Dr. Merrick is currently the only person to have successfully conducted human cloning experiments and given clones consciousness.

Science cannot explain all of this.

But it can be done through metaphysics; simply put, Dr. Merrick seems to be able to give these clones their own souls.

This is why S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't arrest other cloning experts, but instead targeted Dr. Myrick.

Sharon, standing to the side, looked at Hawke, whose expression and voice seemed normal, and was also somewhat curious.

"Hawk, Hydra is cloning you, aren't you angry?"

“Look at my left arm.”

"what?"

Sharon glanced instinctively at Hawke's left arm, which was still in a sling.

Hawke laughed and said, "If I were angry, I would have already been unsealed by now."

Sharon was taken aback upon hearing this.

Oh too.

If Hawke is angry about this, he shouldn't be standing here; he should, definitely shouldn't be standing here.

Tony, standing to the side, was more concerned about something else.

"If Hydra really clones you, then the combat power of this clone..."

"Are you asking whether he's better or I am?"

"Yes."

"Do you still remember my Saint Cloth?"

Hawke looked at Tony, who was nodding, and chuckled: "I remember you asked me that question just last night. You asked me if the Hydra cloned armor was comparable to my Saint Cloth."

Tony frowned.

"What if it's your clone and the cloned armor?"

"Haha."

Hawke burst into laughter.

next second!
Tweet!
As a phoenix cry rang out, in an instant, a massive, clear, and incredibly realistic projection of a fire phoenix appeared behind Hawke.

Within the embrace of the phoenix's wings, there seemed to be a vast, clearly defined, rootless universe filled with countless stars.

"This is the true source of my power."

"My bloodline descendants can inherit my power."

"But cloning?"

“A fake is a fake. He may be able to clone my face, but he could never clone the source of my power as well.”

Do you want to clone him to gain the power he worked so hard to acquire?
What kind of joke is this about Greece?

This is similar to the fact that no one can ever perfectly replicate his Saint Cloth.

Because the key to the Saint Cloth is the Saint.

same!
The key to Saint Seiya is Cosmo.

and so……

Even if Hydra can clone him, so what? Can Hydra also replicate his cosmos?

Even if Hydra could…

That's a load of rubbish!
That's absolutely impossible.

Absolutely not.

In a word.

If Hydra could mass-produce clones of the universe, would they still be stuck on Earth, failing twice in a row?
If Hydra had this technology, they would have conquered the universe long ago.
