Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 223 Vampires in the Marvel Universe!

Located in Georgia, the town of Falls is surrounded by dense forests and mountains. However, due to its long history and beautiful natural scenery, the town's population has remained at around 10,000, and it attracts a considerable number of tourists every year.

On the road to Fallstown, there were several cars heading to Fallstown.

Hawke and Gwen were in one of the cars.

Sitting in the passenger seat of the car Hawke had rented after arriving at the airport, Gwen was excitedly telling Hawke, who was driving, about the sights of Fallstown.

For example, the clock tower in the town.

For example, the mysterious waterfall that gave Waterfall Town its name.

There is also a cemetery where many vampires are said to be buried, and a memorial hall that preserves the town's history and many of the tools that were said to have been used to fight vampires.

Hawke drove along following the navigation, listening with a smile as his fiancée recounted various mysterious legends of Fallstown.

For example, there were various legends about vampires, werewolves, hunters, and witches in the town of Falls.

Gwen says whatever comes to mind.

Hawke listened quietly with a smile.

Gwen blinked as she watched Hawke ramble on without saying a word. "Hawk, let me tell you, there really are vampires in town. The Fox family used to be famous vampire hunters."

Hawke glanced sideways at Gwen, who looked mysterious and proud, and nodded with a smile.

“Awesome!”

"..."

Gwen rolled her eyes at Hawke, whose face was full of doting affection, practically screaming "I mean whatever you say." "Hawk, I'm telling the truth."

Hawke shrugged: "I didn't say you were lying. Besides, you know a witch, the famous Salem witch, and you also know the most powerful wizard on Earth."

Carrie, the girl who came to his house for help back then, he went to take her home and asked Gwen to help clean the little girl who was covered in pig's blood.

Carrie, who had just returned from her study tour with her teacher in New Orleans, even brought back a souvenir for Gwen.

The Ancient One, the most powerful sorcerer on Earth, bar none.

Gwen blinked at Hawke's question, then seemed to remember something and looked at Hawke: "Hawk, tell me, who's stronger, the vampire or Carrie?"

Hawke thought about it.

"It depends."

"for example?"

"None of them are as good as me!"

Hawke glanced at Gwen and smiled again.

This is the absolute truth.

Whether it's vampires, werewolves, or even grim hunters or witches, they're all insignificant in Hawke's eyes now.

In a word.

He doesn't even need to use the Phoenix Ray; a single eye strike is equivalent to throwing hundreds of supersonic punches. Few extraordinary beings can withstand that.

Gwen had initially thought Hawke would offer some serious feedback, but upon hearing Hawke's answer, her lips twitched.

"I asked you to comment on vampires and witches."

"Ok."

Hawke shook his head and chuckled. Seeing that there was still about half an hour left in the journey, he glanced at Gwen again and asked, "So what do you think?"

Gwen, who had freed her feet from her sneakers and was sitting cross-legged in the passenger seat, shrugged.

"I think it should be a witch. Carrie is very powerful. When she awakened, didn't she tear apart the ground of a small town?"

"indeed."

Hawke nodded: "Carrie is indeed a very powerful witch, and a Salem witch at that. Even the progenitor vampires are no match for a witch who has lived long enough."

Like sorcerers, witches are subject to age restrictions.

The older you get, the stronger your magic becomes.

of course.

Except for Scarlet Witch.

Speaking of...

This time when he went to Sokovia, Sitori had already run away. Could he have changed the timeline and gotten rid of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver?

Hawke suddenly wondered to himself.

Gwen, however, noticed the key words in Hawke's words and asked curiously.

"The progenitor of vampires?"

"The progenitor of a vampire clan, simply put, is the origin of vampires."

"Dracula!"

Gwen's first thought was this infamous vampire count.

Hawke smiled.

"He is one of them."

"One of them?"

Gwen's eyes widened slightly upon hearing this: "Were there many progenitors of vampires?"

Hawke laughed and said, "Witches are divided into Hell Witches, Salem Witches, Dream Witches, and Evil Witches. Vampires are also divided into different groups."

Gwen blinked, then sat sideways, looking at Hawke.

"Tell me?"

"Row."

Hawke chuckled, picked up the phone that was navigation on the side, glanced at the remaining route navigation, then turned it off and tossed the phone to Gwen: "Email, sent by Natasha, check it yourself."

He felt no guilt whatsoever about his fiancée taking his phone.

After all, Hawke himself doesn't use his phone much, and often he forgets to bring it if Gwen doesn't remind him.

This is why, whether it's Sharon or Tony, if they want to find Hawke now, they basically assume that if they can't get through to Hawke, they should call Gwen directly.

Gwen held Hawke's phone, opened her email, and looked at the time of the email Natasha had sent.

"Sent this morning?" "Yes."

Hawke chuckled and looked at Gwen: "You said there are vampires in Fallstown, so just in case, I have to find out about them first."

Gwen laughed and shook her head upon hearing this: "I was just kidding. There are no vampires in Fallstown."

Hawke glanced at Gwen again and smiled, "Better safe than sorry!"

joke.

This is Waterfall Town, after all.

He might believe it, even if he held his nose, if you said there might be no demons in Fallstown.

But are you saying there are no vampires in Waterfall Town?
To put it bluntly, if you happen to be lucky, and you throw a brick down from the clock tower in Waterfall Town late at night, you'll hit a vampire at least seven out of ten times.

This is not.

Twenty-five minutes later.

Just as Hawke was driving on the last forest road leading into Fallstown, the bridge to Fallstown came into view.

He raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways at Gwen, who had just finished reading S.H.I.E.L.D.'s information on the extraordinary vampire race, opened the window, and prepared to breathe in some fresh mountain air to soothe her eyes.

To be precise, he glanced through the car door into the dense forest beside him.

However, he did not stop, but continued driving towards the town.

Feeling Hawke's gaze, Gwen met his eyes and then glanced at the nearby forest.

However, she didn't notice anything.

but……

Gwen was pretty sure Hawke was looking at something.

"What did you see?"

"If I said vampires, would you believe me?"

Hawke laughed.

Gwen raised an eyebrow: "Is it the Dragoon lineage, the Cain lineage, or the Blood God lineage?"

These are the three largest vampire groups on Earth, according to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Dracula, Cain, and the Blood God are the progenitors of these three races. Although the bloodlines of these three races differ in some aspects, they are all classified as vampires in the supernatural world.

This is what Gwen learned after reading the information Natasha sent her.

After watching it, Gwen had only one feeling.

She should really thank S.H.I.E.L.D. for surviving this long. After all, according to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s data, there are vampires in New York City, and quite a few of them. However, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s operations command center is located in New York City, so they maintain a deterrent against the vampire race.

Jesus God!

She's a New Yorker, and after all these years, she had no idea there were so many vampires in New York City.

So when Hawke mentioned watching vampires, Gwen instinctively thought of these three typical vampire groups.

but……

Hawke shook his head.

"neither."

"what?"

"The vampires here..."

Hawke recalled the information sent by S.H.I.E.L.D.: "They should be classified as part of the Michelson faction by S.H.I.E.L.D."

Upon hearing this, Gwen recalled S.H.I.E.L.D.'s description of the Michelson vampire progenitors: "Klaus, Elijah, and Rebecca, the three siblings?"

The descriptions differ from those of Dragu the Vampire, Cain the Vampire, and Blood God the Vampire.

These three progenitors of vampires all have a mythological element.

The Michaelson lineage is no longer shrouded in mythology.

According to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s records on vampires, the progenitors of the Michelson lineage can be traced back to the Michelson family, headed by the three siblings Klaus Michelson, Elijah Michelson, and Rebecca Michelson.

However, because these three progenitors were elusive and did not communicate much with the outside world, seemingly escaping from something, there is relatively little information about them in S.H.I.E.L.D. records.

However, there are quite a few records about the other vampires in the Michaelson lineage, that is, the vampires who were transformed by these three progenitors.

For example, Michelson vampires cannot enter a house without an invitation, and they turn into blood when a piece of wood is pierced into their heart.

Gwen recalled the information about S.H.I.E.L.D. on this matter.

only……

Gwen looked at Hawke with a somewhat helpless expression: "There really are vampires in Fallstown. I was just saying that, and I didn't find any when I came back before."

Hawke laughed and looked at Gwen.

"New York City has vampires too, but we haven't seen any, have we?"

"That's true too."

Gwen, recalling her nearly twenty years of life in New York City without ever encountering or seeing a vampire, nodded subconsciously, then looked at Hawke with some curiosity: "By the way, Hawke, do you think we'll see a vampire this time?"

Hawke glanced at Gwen.

"You want to see?"

"I've never seen it before, I'm quite curious."

Gwen spoke very honestly.

She met the witch and also accompanied Hawke to visit the wizard whom Hawke called the most powerful sorcerer on Earth.

and so……

She'd love to see vampires if she had the chance.

Anyway, Hawke was by her side.

Hawke looked at Gwen, whose eyes were sparkling with curiosity, then turned his gaze to the town that was now in sight, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a chance to see it this time."

"..."
