Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 399 Earth Has a New God (Second Update!!)

"I'm back!"

"..."

As Hawke's voice echoed inside the room, his figure appeared, causing ripples to spread through the space. Hawke then naturally emerged from the spreading ripples.

Wanda heard the voice and turned to look at Hawke, who had appeared.

Hawke, dressed in a dark gray suit, looked at Wanda as she turned around, his expression unchanged.

"good morning."

Good morning.

Wanda realized what was happening and responded.

Qin, the daughter who was being held in Anya's arms, blinked her eyes, jumped up from Anya's arms, and then rushed into Hawke's arms.

"Daddy!"

The daughter, Qin, looked up from Hawke's arms and said, "Where did you go? I feel like you're in a tree, but I can't reach you."

Hawke smiled slightly: "It's a very beautiful place. I'll take you there when your semester ends and you get all A+ grades."

The daughter, Qin, was very excited upon hearing this.

"Really, Daddy?"

"of course."

Hawke smiled as he spoke, then made a pinky promise with his daughter, Qin. Qin then swayed away from Hawke's arms and ran upstairs.

The answer is to go read a book.

Study hard and make progress every day.

After half an hour.

The backyard of the house.

Hawke, hands in his pockets, listened to Wanda recount the major events that had just occurred on Earth. When he heard that Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf had kidnapped not only Doctor Strange but also Bruce Banner, he raised an eyebrow.

"Bruce Banner was taken away too?"

"Yes."

Wanda nodded, somewhat puzzled: "Doctor Strange has the Infinity Stones, so it's normal for him to be kidnapped, but does Bruce Banner also have the Infinity Stones?"

Hawke shook his head.

Wanda is curious.

"Then why did they kidnap Bruce Banner? Those two aliens seem to have those two as their targets."

"do not know."

Hawke also didn't know Thanos's purpose in having his men kidnap Bruce Banner.

He couldn't possibly think that having two Infinity Stones in his possession meant he had no hope of obtaining them, so he set his sights on Bruce Banner's universe, which seemed to have come from some unknown multiverse. So he kidnapped Bruce Banner, perhaps hoping to pull off a roundabout way to achieve his goal.

Go to Bruce Banner's multiverse, collect the Infinity Stones there, and then use them to return to the main universe and wipe out half of all life there?

This……

does it work?
feasible!

Hawke's thoughts raced.

As we all know, in the movies, the Avengers can travel to parallel universes and use the Infinity Stones from those universes to resurrect half of the population that Thanos wiped out.

and so!
Any Infinity Stone from a parallel universe is acceptable, and naturally, any Infinity Stone from the multiverse is also acceptable.

Of course.

There's a premise to this.

The premise is that the Infinity Stones exist in that universe.

Well known.

The multiverse is a universe of infinite possibilities and infinite existence. Therefore, not every multiverse has the Infinity Stones, just as some people in the main universe may not have them in the multiverse.

This Bruce Banner from some multiverse clearly knows about the Infinity Stones, so there's no need for trial and error; it's certain that the Infinity Stones exist in this universe of Bruce Banner.

That leaves only one last question.

How could Thanos traverse the multiverse and precisely land in the multiverse where Bruce Banner resides?

The Time Stone.

Space Stone.

When combined, they form the Time Stone, which, theoretically, can open a spacetime portal to the multiverse.

Hawke had already considered how to find his Gwen back if time were to strike while he was in Nidavellir, watching Etri forge his own Gold Cloth.

The idea of ​​combining the Time Stone and the Space Stone had already been conceived in his mind.

pity!

Thanos could use this technique to traverse the multiverse, but he couldn't.

The reason is simple.

By doing this, he is essentially walking into a trap, and the main universe will also have a strong and dangerous illusion about him.

Hawk Phoenix can use Gwen to threaten him.

and so……

No.

But Thanos didn't care.

He can open time-space portals and travel through the multiverse.

There's only one question left.

How could Thanos accurately pinpoint the universe from which Bruce Banner came from within this endless multiverse bubble?

"never mind."

Hawke shook his head, too lazy to think about it anymore. In any case, Thanos's methods were not applicable to him at all.

and so……

"Let him be."

"Let him be..."

Wanda's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing this, and she looked at Hawke: "But Bruce Banner said that Thanos plans to use the Infinity Stones to wipe out half of all life in the universe."

Hawke nodded, his tone calm.

"Yes, and then?"

"Earth……"

"The Earth is not among them."

"What, why?"

"Because I am here."

Hawke looked at Wanda calmly: "Thanos's minions didn't attack you. In fact, Thanos was communicating with me remotely. He wouldn't, and dared not, attack Earth." Not only Earth, but any planet protected by a god was not on Thanos's clear list.

A simple example.

The planet where the Godslayer Gale resides is not within Thanos's snap range.

But that's almost impossible.

Thanos's snap covered the entire universe, and there is only one possible reason why this happened.

Thanos's snap did not include inhabited planets that were highly protected by the gods.

Let's say that.

If Thanos's snap included life-bearing planets protected by gods, then it would have been impossible for Thanos to retire after the snap.

Not all gods are as heartless as the gods of the planet where the god-slayer Gel resides.

Most deities are still responsible for their own life-bearing planets.

If Thanos dared to do that, the moment he snapped his fingers, all the gods would probably rush to him and kill him with a single blow to vent their anger.

But Thanos didn't die; instead, he lived a leisurely retirement life, enjoying the simple pleasures of life.

and so……

Thanos' snap had nothing to do with gods; it only concerned those life-bearing planets that had no divine protection and had been planted with the seeds of gods.

This is why half of the Earth was still destroyed in the original series.

It's not just because there are seeds of the gods inside the Earth.

But more importantly, it's because the Earth has lost the protection of the gods.

Regardless of whether it was the Ancient One, a mortal being, or someone comparable to a god.

Or perhaps it is Odin, who conquered the nine realms and was known as the King of the Gods.

Both of them have already left the stage of history. Without the protection of the gods, and with a Celestials group still being conceived inside the Earth, the Earth is 100% in Thanos's elimination plan.

But this time it was different.

Hawk is still alive, and just as Thanos left Nidavellir, Hawk made a bold move and snatched the World Tree directly from the main universe.

Thanos isn't stupid. Under these circumstances, unless Thanos's brain is comparable to that of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, he wouldn't wipe out the Earth.

Just as Thanos dared not appear in the galaxy when Odin and the Ancient One were alive, this time, Thanos would rather choose to take a detour to collect the Reality and Mind Stones from the multiverse, which he could not obtain, than risk appearing in front of Hawke.

and so……

"Don't worry about him."

"……All right."

Hearing Hawke's confident answer, Wanda thought for a moment and decided not to continue on that topic, changing the subject to something else.

"Gwen..."

"I know."

"Wait, you know?"

Wanda couldn't help but look at Hawke: "You knew all along that Gwen would disappear?"

Hawke nodded.

Wanda spoke up instinctively.

"what happened."

"time."

Hawke looked at Wanda, who was staring in shock, and then briefly recounted how he had snatched the World Tree from the main universe, which they were about to devour, causing a temporal tremor and imprisoning his closest person in the timeline in the multiverse.

As Wanda listened to Hawke's story, her mouth gradually opened wider.

After Hawke finished speaking.

Wanda asked instinctively, "So what do you plan to do? Go to the multiverse and bring Gwen back?"

Hawke spoke in a low, somber tone.

"I thought about it."

"but……"

"If that were the case, we would have fallen into the trap of time, and Gwen's temporary sacrifice would have been meaningless."

"That……"

"don’t worry."

Hawk chuckled and looked at Wanda, whose face showed a hint of worry: "I've already thought of a way to rescue Gwen."

It's just like when he encountered problems on Earth, he would directly cause trouble for the Pentagon.

The same applies to Gwen.

Although this whole thing was caused by his instincts, he didn't care. He set his sights on the Celestials, and if Gwen didn't return for a day, he would watch as they were beaten up.

In a word.

When in doubt, fight the gods.

After all, the Celestials can also freely travel through the multiverse.

but……

Hawke didn't think that simply crippling Gris the Shocker would make the Celestials submit obediently; he still wanted to put on a show.

He knew it perfectly well, and he was very clear about it.

Hawke let Shocker Gris go so that this match could come sooner.

When the Celestials are enraged and send dozens or even many Celestials to try to kill him, he will show no mercy.

Barbarians fear power, not virtue!

The same applies to the Celestials.

When the time comes, no matter how many Celestials come, he will kill them all. As long as he kills them until they are terrified, until they dare not even breathe, then the Celestials will obediently bring his Gwen back to him.

after all……

Time is unconscious, and therefore, it is not afraid.

But the gods are also living beings, and living beings are afraid.

This is the law.

Wanda looked at Hawke's confident expression and the deepest killing intent flashing in his eyes, nodded, and said nothing.

at this time.

Anya, who was standing in the living room, knocked on the glass.

Wanda turned her head and saw Sharon, who had rushed over immediately after receiving news of Hawke's return.
