Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 388 The Lord of the Wutong World Tree (Third Update!!!)

"Hela, let's go together."

"go by yourself."

"..."

Mephisto, whose defenses were completely broken by Hawke calling him a "rebellious son," roared and prepared to call Hela to join him in the attack.

then……

He was stunned.

Mephisto seemed not to have heard clearly, and looked at Hela.

"What did you say?"

"You do it yourself."

The black antler crown was no longer visible; only Hela, with her long black hair flowing down her shoulders, looked at Mephisto, who seemed to have lost his mind, with her sharp and cold eyes that were framed by upturned eyeliner: "Believe in yourself, you can do it."

Upon hearing this, Mephisto looked at Hela, who seemed serious, and his pupils contracted as he gasped, his expression filled with disbelief.

"You think he'll let you go? We're allies."

"Feel sorry."

"what?"

"The words of the devil are not to be trusted."

"Varied……"

"Ah!"

Mephisto turned his head and, with a whoosh, looked at Hawke sitting on the World Tree.

Hawke smiled, still resting his chin on his hand. After Mephisto looked at him, he pointed at Hela with his right hand and then introduced her to Mephisto.

"By the way, let me introduce you."

"Hela, Goddess of Death."

"My death!"

"..."

Mephisto's heart, which was already dead, was now finally dead for good.

but!
"impossible."

"I do not believe."

"Go to hell!"

Mephisto completely lost his temper, feeling like he had become a clown. He roared and slapped his fan-like hand towards Hela.

Wearing a dark green bodysuit that perfectly accentuated her agile and powerful physique, Hela launched herself into a high kick.

next second.

boom!
Mephisto, who was instantly kicked away, traced an arc in mid-air before crashing to the ground with a loud bang.

Mephisto struggled to his feet from the deep pit.

then……

He then saw Hela and Hawke standing side by side, one on the left and one on the right.

Hela stared expressionlessly at the furious Mephisto before her.

Hawke stood with his hands in his pockets, his eyes filled with helplessness towards his rebellious son, looking at Mephisto.

"Now you believe me, right?"

"I……"

Mephisto was utterly heartbroken, looking at Hela standing beside Hawke: "I don't understand!"

Hela was clearly his ally, so why did things turn around so quickly, with Hela becoming Hawk's ally?

Hawke looked at Mephisto, whose face was filled with the thought that he would never rest in peace if he didn't know about this, smiled, and turned to look at Hela beside him.

"Should you tell him?"

"Just tell me."

Hela stared at Mephisto with a cold, sharp gaze.

Hawke nodded, then shrugged as he looked at Mephisto, who was desperately eager to know the truth.

"Because Hela is also me."

"what?"

Mephisto instinctively felt that Hawke was talking nonsense when he heard Hawke's explanation.

But just as he subconsciously berated Hawke.

He saw Hela standing next to Hawke, who suddenly gave him a wicked smile, and then her body turned into blood-red light and dissipated.

next second.

Hela disappeared, and in her place came a gem that looked blood red.

Hawke took his right hand out of his pocket and opened it.

The blood-red gem landed steadily in his hand, then seemed to disappear instantly, as if it had vanished into his palm.

Mephisto was deeply shaken.

"Reality Gem!"

"Yes."

Hawk put his right hand back into his pocket and looked at Mephisto with a smile.

What is Hella?
Where is Hella?

In fact, Hela did ally with Mephisto, preparing to join forces to thwart his scheme.

pity……

Mephisto mistakenly underestimated his intelligence.

one more time.

In the Western system, the very act of devising a conspiracy like the "Feast at Hongmen" has left Westerners astonished and incredulous.

But for Hawke, whose soul dates back approximately five thousand years, this is different.

Let's say that.

From the moment Mephisto betrayed him for the first time, Mephisto's credibility with Hawke was completely wiped out.

Once unfaithful, always unfaithful.

That's what our ancestors said.

But since Mephisto is willing to make peace, then so be it. Besides, Hawk really doesn't want to create trouble for himself, such as taking over the power of life and death over the Earth.

So he accepted Mephisto's offer of peace, and then watched Mephisto perform before his eyes like a monkey, satisfying Mephisto's desire to perform.

same.

Hela, who allied with Mephisto, overestimated herself while underestimating his speed.

Just as Hawke predicted.

Hela didn't use her full strength when fighting Surtur because the destruction of Asgard was inevitable. Since that was the case, it was better to conserve her strength and save it for a sneak attack on Hawk with Mephisto, so as to grow stronger and create new glories.

Unfortunately, Hawke was too fast.

It was faster than I imagined.

Question: When did Hawke take control of the World Tree?

The answer is simple. He had already successfully taken over the World Tree in the split second before the main universe's timeline.

The reason is simple.

The World Tree was cut in half, but Hawke has now repaired it and transformed it into the Sycamore World Tree.

But now the World Tree is Hawke's sycamore World Tree.

The World Tree died completely the moment it was cut in half.

and so--

Hawke instantly took control of the World Tree, and with his almost inexhaustible cosmic energy, he repaired the World Tree and sublimated it into the Wutong World Tree in an instant.

He is the master of the World Tree, the new chief deity of the World Tree.

Naturally!
Hawk possesses 100% authority over the World Tree, including the divine authority that Odin once distributed among the trees.

For example, Thor's divine authority as the god of thunder.

But the moment Hawke took it back, he bestowed Thor's divine authority back upon him.

one more time.

Public is public, private is private.

Hawke distinguished them very clearly.

He was initially unaware of Hela's alliance with Mephisto, but he became wary when Hela was beaten by Surtur like a father beating his daughter.

Therefore, the moment he entered the World Tree, he sensed that Hel had not truly disappeared. The first thing he did was not to return Thor's divine authority to him, but to reclaim Hela's power of death and then grant Hela true death.

Since Hela has chosen to fake her death, then she should really die.

what?
Keep Hela?

For what?
Beauty?

Sorry, Hawke was never two-colored in his life.

Help?

That's even less necessary. Most importantly, Hawke doesn't dare keep Hela by his side.

Hela dared to stab even Odin, let alone him.

Anyway...

Hawke doesn't need Hella, nor does he dare to use it.

and so!
Hela died, and just in case, Hawke didn't even want Hela's soul, simply scattering it to completely eliminate any possible future troubles.

Again.

You can never go too far wrong.

Only by being careful can you sail safely for a long time.

Hawk returned Thor's divine authority only after killing Hela.

This is why Thor felt as if his divine authority as the God of Thunder had vanished for a moment.

What happened next is quite clear.

Hawk used the Reality Stone to materialize Hela, the goddess of death, and then used his own cosmic energy to materialize another version of himself to lure Mephisto out, while simultaneously cooperating with Mephisto to stage this whole drama.

As Mephisto listened to Hawke's account, his three-meter-tall demonic body trembled uncontrollably.

"So... you've been playing me from the very beginning."

"Hey."

Hawke looked at Mephisto, whose face was filled with despair and resentment, and listened to Mephisto's accusations. He retorted directly, "Remember? I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it."

Mephisto was furious!
"You're messing with me."

"whatever."

Seeing this, Hawke was too lazy to explain further, and casually said something, then seemed to think of something and looked at Mephisto: "Well, thanks, old Mephisto."

Mephisto's angry expression froze.

"what?"

"Actually, I was in a really bad mood."

Hawke frankly said, "But after watching you put on such a show, I feel a little better."

Upon hearing this, Mephisto met Hawke's eyes.

"Will you let me go then?"

"Hahaha!"

Hawke was taken aback at first, then smiled broadly.

Seeing this, Mephisto forced a smile and laughed along with Hawke.

But soon.

Hawke's smile faded, and his expression turned serious.

"no!"

"What."

“I’ve given you too many chances, but you didn’t know how to cherish them. Even if he were my own son, if I gave him so many chances and he still didn’t cherish them, I would kill him and be done with it. Besides, you’re not even my own son. I’ve been more than good to you.”

Hawke felt he wouldn't even give his own son a second chance.

If he is a rebellious son.

but……

Forget it.

For Gwen's sake, I'll give it to him twice. If I don't, Gwen will cause trouble for me.

Hawke's thoughts raced, and he pondered these words.

Mephisto's hope, which had been rekindled by Hawke's laughter, was completely extinguished upon hearing Hawke's words.

next second.

Mephisto growled in a low voice.

"You think you can kill me?"

"Do you have some trump card up your sleeve?"

"Kill me, and death will not let you go."

"Ah!"

Hawke snapped out of his daze, looked at Mephisto, and scoffed, "This is my universe. All the laws are within me. Your superior, Death, cannot enter this place."

Mephisto raised his voice, attempting to threaten Hawke with death in order to buy himself a chance to survive.

"But outside..."

Goodbye, old Mexican.

Hawk interrupted Mephisto abruptly, raised his right hand, then seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up, and he corrected him, "No, it's goodbye forever. I've been thinking, leaving you in my underworld would be troublesome, so, die."

Mephisto's expression changed as he looked at Hawke raising his hand.

"Wait……"

"Snapped!"

"..."
