Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 357 Hawke and Gwen's Honeymoon (Second Update!!)

Xandar!

A planet with a highly advanced civilization, peaceful and prosperous, possessing advanced, even sci-fi, technology, and even its sky is a beautiful pinkish-purple.

Moreover, this is the base of the Nova Corps, which is responsible for maintaining peace in the universe.

Every morning, the Nova Legion warriors pilot their Nova fighters out into space for their daily training.

If you are lucky enough to stay at the Dome Hotel in the city center, you can even watch the Nova Warriors train up close every day.

Compared to hotels on Earth that are named "Dome" but are actually no more than a hundred meters high, which are just a sham, the Dome Hotel on Xandar is a true dome hotel.

The Dome Hotel is suspended above downtown Xandar, a cluster of circular platforms connected by transparent energy bridges.

Each platform is an independent suite, enveloped by a spherical energy shield with adjustable transparency, ensuring both privacy and an unobstructed 360-degree view.

At this moment, Gwen was wearing pajamas with a distinctive Xandar style, which could be considered a Nova Corps cultural and creative product. She was sitting on the balcony of her room, looking at the Nova Corps training in the sky.

Today marks the thirtieth day of her honeymoon with Hawke.

If Gwen were to rate this honeymoon trip...

Five points.

Very satisfied.

Over the past thirty days, she and Hawke have traveled all over Xandar.

They visited the Nova Corps' Hall of Fame.

Gwen saw the history of the Nova Corps, from the initial tribal alliance to the establishment of a peacekeeping force capable of covering the entire globe. She also saw the magnificent scene two years ago when the Nova Corps members united to build the famous golden energy network in an attempt to stop Ronan's Dark Star.

They also visited Xandar's famous nature reserve, the Forest of Illusions.

It was a magnificent forest.

The plant is not purely green, but rather displays a gradient of colors including blue, purple, silver, and pink.

The animals were also peculiar and gentle.

They also visited ancient Xandarian ruins and even went to a dreamlike island where only the two of them lived, where they dined while watching the magnificent gradient of colors that painted the clouds gold, orange, red, and purple after the sun set over Xandar.

Gwen was sitting on the balcony, watching the projection screen in front of her, doing what every newlywed wife does.

She was organizing the numerous photos she had taken during her visit to the Nova Corps headquarters yesterday, and doing some simple photo editing as well.

The purple necklace on Gwen's right wrist seemed to have a flowing purple light.

This is her latest computer.

I purchased these items at a duty-free shop near the Star Harbor when I arrived in Xandar.

at this time.

Hawke, dressed in a suit, carried the breakfast brought by the waiter and walked from his room to the balcony.

"Hi."

"Hi."

Gwen, who was editing photos, snapped out of her reverie, looked at Hawke walking towards her, smiled happily, and kissed Hawke as he leaned in.

Hawke placed breakfast on the table on the balcony.

"Time for breakfast."

"Okay, just a moment."

As Gwen spoke, she quickened her pace in selecting photos, swiftly deleting those with poor composition, backgrounds, or exposure.

Such photos are not allowed in her honeymoon commemorative photos.

soon.

Gwen slapped the purple bracelet on her right hand with her left, and the projection visible only to one person disappeared. Then she took the knife and fork that Hawke offered her.

Don't ask Hawke why, even though they're already off Earth, the cutlery on this alien planet is still knives and forks.

Because this question is as stupid as asking why the whole universe speaks English.

While eating breakfast, Gwen told Hawke about their itinerary for the last day of their honeymoon.

“I consulted with the hotel, and they said there are many souvenir shops in Harmony Square. After breakfast, we should go and browse the souvenir shops to buy some gifts to take back to Earth.”

"it is good."

Hawke smiled and agreed.

With the Reality Gem in hand, I have the world at my fingertips.

Things in Xandar require money, but Hawk can create the necessary currency using Reality Gems.

Just like when he and Gwen arrived on Xandar in the Enterprise and entered the starport, they used the Reality Stone to create two identities as space bounty hunters, thus successfully entering Xandar.

and so……

Let alone buying a little bit, even if Gwen wanted to buy up everything on Xandar, Hawke could afford it.

However, Gwen had already chosen gifts to bring back to Earth and give to her friends and family.

These musical note stones can compose their own music; this is a harp given to the flower girl/boy.

The sand table that can holographically project a specified star map is a gift for Sharon. After all, a detailed cosmic star map might allow S.H.I.E.L.D. to venture into space sooner.

There's also a jar of seeds that supposedly produce rainbow-colored flowers in any environment.

Gwen bought two cases, twenty-four cans in total.

It's cheap, beautiful, and perfect as a gift for her bridesmaids and her mother, Helen.

And of course, there's alcohol.

A locally brewed, bubbly, and shimmering mead from Xandar.

It has a low alcohol content, tastes good, and doesn't give you a headache.

With its rainbow flowers, it's perfect as a gift.

Gwen bought ten boxes.

She quite likes drinking this honey wine.

Because it was a large purchase, the store thoughtfully sent someone to deliver the goods along with Hawke and Gwen to the Enterprise, which was docked at the Xandar orbital starport.

Gwen stood at the window of the Enterprise, looking down at Xandar, which was slowly turning, with its pinkish-purple atmosphere, white cloud swirling, and the lights of the cities on the continent at night.

Hawke walked over from behind: "The Nova Corps will board the ship for inspection in ten minutes. Once everything is in order, we can leave."

Yes. The inspection is to prevent anyone from taking away contraband belonging to Xandar; it's a routine departure inspection.

Hawke is not opposed to this.

He and Gwen came to Xandar for their honeymoon. When traveling, they value harmony and abide by local laws.

Gwen withdrew her gaze, turned around, and looked at Hawke who was walking towards her.

"I suddenly don't want to go back, Hawke, it's so beautiful here."

"……OK."

Hawke was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "We can go downstairs. You can stay here as long as you want. We'll stay as long as you say."

Gwen pursed her lips.

"Hawk, I was just kidding. This place may be beautiful, but Earth is our home."

"I take your word for it. You know I always listen to you the most."

"I know."

Gwen smiled brightly, lowered her eyes, touched her belly, and then looked up at Hawke: "So, you are not allowed to interfere in our children's education from now on."

Yes.

She is pregnant.

Just two weeks ago, while visiting the Xandar Science Museum, Hawke and Gwen unexpectedly discovered a scanner that displayed the good news to them.

They were twins.

The kind with twins, a boy and a girl.

Hawke immediately took Gwen to the local hospital on Xandar.

Don't say it.

The local hospital provided excellent service, offering free checkups for pregnant women and even explaining to Gwen the various benefits her child would enjoy if she gave birth on Xandar and became a Xandar citizen.

Gwen was immediately persuaded and had a fertility record created at the hospital, along with her wrist. No matter where Gwen went during her pregnancy, she would be reminded to return to Xandar for the next stage of check-ups when the time came.

no way.

It's because Xandar gave us so much.

At this moment, the Enterprise's warehouse contains mostly goods that were not purchased by him and Gwen, but rather various nutritional supplements and the like, which Xandar gave away for free to pregnant women.

but……

Gwen wants her child to be a citizen of Xandar, a planet with high welfare benefits, and Hawke has no objection.

Just education?

Hmm, that won't do.

Hawke shook his head: "I insist on retaining my right to educate, dear. I may not exercise my right, but I cannot be without it."

Upon hearing this, Gwen settled for second best.

"Then you can't interfere when I'm disciplining my children."

"this is OK."

Hawke nodded in agreement.

Just then, the Nova Corps' starport inspector arrived, took out his equipment, and with a buzz, quickly scanned the Enterprise's hull. He then signed his name on the clearance form and handed it to Hawke.

After Hawke signed his name, he handed the examination form back to the prosecutor.

The prosecutor shook hands with Hawke with a smile on his face.

"Have a safe trip, Mr. Phoenix."

"Thank you."

Hawke smiled in response and politely saw the prosecutor off from the Enterprise.

soon.

News came from Starport that the Enterprise was allowed to depart, and with a hum, the barrier securing the Enterprise was successfully released.

Inside the bridge.

Hawke summoned the intelligent program that had materialized alongside the Enterprise to control it.

"enterprise!"

"gentlemen."

"Quantum Planetary Belt"

"Received, route planning in progress, route planning successful."

"set sail."

"understand!"

With its power fully unleashed, the Enterprise, after leaving Xandar, sped off into full-speed flight, heading towards the Quantum Belt, the final destination of this honeymoon trip.

The so-called quantum planetary belt, simply put, is formed by meteorites from the universe.

However, these meteorites are in a quantum state, which means you never know where they will appear in the planetary belt in the next second.

In the quantum planetary belt, countless meteorites constantly disappear and reappear in a quantum state.

Like a wild horse that has broken free, it runs wildly everywhere.

Hawke didn't quite understand what was so interesting about this place.

But Gwen said this is a place where quantum states can be observed with the naked eye, and it has an indescribable beauty.

really.

A woman's aesthetic sense may change once she becomes pregnant.

Hawke thought so.

at this time.

The company suddenly issued an alarm, and the warning lights on the bridge began to flash.
