Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 419 Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land (First Update!)

What is the quantum realm like?

Bizarre!
Almost the instant Peter pressed the button, Hawke, standing on the teleportation device and having given up all resistance, instantly felt himself turn into a drop of ink.

Moreover, it's ink that's been stretched infinitely.

The familiar laws of the universe, at this moment, are like a fragile spider web, breaking apart inch by inch.

At this moment, even the familiar cosmic time seemed to thicken like sugar water being simmered.

Even the familiar world transforms at this moment, sometimes into a dazzling forest, sometimes into a magnificent particle waterfall.

Hawke felt as if he were falling into an infinite abyss, yet also as if he were ascending into an endless starry sky.

The landscapes on both sides are endlessly replicated and extended...

Perhaps a long time has passed.

Perhaps only a second has passed.

boom!
The moment Hawke found himself in a dazzling and magnificent realm, his inner universe ignited instantly, resisting the downward force, and he landed steadily on the colorful ground beneath his feet.

His power can still be projected here.

Just as Hawke had expected.

but……

Hawke's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the four Infinity Stones that made up the phoenix's double pupils in his own universe, which seemed to have lost their luster: "The Infinity Stones are no longer effective here."

He thought of the Infinity Stones in the Time Bureau's drawer.

It's said that when Loki saw that drawer full of Infinity Stones, his Dao heart shattered instantly.

But this is normal.

Anyone who sees the precious treasure they've worked so hard to obtain, only to suddenly discover that someone else has a whole drawer full of the same things, would be absolutely devastated.

Hawke, however, did not feel that way.

Because he is a wall hanging.

The Infinity Stones are indeed just a bunch of useless decorations in the Time Bureau, but that's because the Time Bureau's domain is actually the same as the current Quantum Domain.

They exist within the sequence of the main multiverse, but do not belong to any one of the main multiverses.

The Infinity Stones are products of the main multiverse. When they went to other universes or to places that do not exist in any universe, they naturally lost their original effects.

and so……

There's nothing to be ashamed of regarding the damage to one's moral compass.

Hawke glanced at the dim phoenix double pupils, then looked away and gazed at the bizarre quantum realm around him.

Although Hawke did indeed feel the universe's rejection and suppression of him, and the prying gaze disappeared the moment he entered the quantum realm.

However, he was also unable to perceive the eighth sense of life in the quantum realm.

Because the laws in the quantum realm are different from, and can even be described as distorted, the laws of the main multiverse.

Simply put.

If Hawke were to gain insight into the eighth sense of life here, there would be only one outcome.

He would become like Ouyang Feng, who practiced the Nine Yin Manual in reverse, and force himself to become a madman who didn't know the meaning of time.

therefore!

Now that he's entered the quantum realm, he needs to figure out how to get out of it.

Hawke raised his wrist and glanced at the 'quantum watch' Peter had created.

into the eye.

The two tubes of Pym Particles are intact and can allow him to travel through the multiverse once, and then return to the quantum realm. When he returns to the quantum realm, Peter will receive a message and restart the device by pressing a button on the watch, pulling him back.

Hawke would like Dr. Hank Pym to give him a few more vials of Pym Particles.

But Dr. Pym only has so much stock, and he's in a hurry. After all, only God knows what the universe might do to prevent him from entering the quantum realm if time drags on.

and so……

Just two tubes.

But it's enough.

Hawke thought for a moment, then pulled down his sleeve to cover the quantum watch. Then, with a thought, he stretched out his right hand, and the Space Stone appeared in his palm.

Although the Space Gem had dimmed due to the quantum realm, a coordinate within it began to glow.

These are the multiverse coordinates that Thanos extracted from Bruce Banner, who came from the multiverse, before he died.

According to Thanos, he could use these coordinates to pinpoint the multiverse in which Bruce Banner resides.

But right now?
He hadn't even found the exit yet when this thing started flashing?

Hawke raised an eyebrow, and without much thought, he gripped the Space Stone in his hand and vanished from his spot, quickly flying towards the direction indicated by the Space Stone.

after awhile.

He then spotted an Ant-Man cautiously exploring the dense, sun-drenched forest.

Hook, hovering above the forest, looked down at Scott, who resembled Ant-Man, and then at the Space Stone coordinates flashing in his palm, as if he had just realized something.

next moment.

Hawke vanished from the spot!
"Scott!"

"who!"

While experimenting with quantum travel, Ant-Man Scott, who had been completely cut off from the outside world for almost four hours, suddenly heard a sound, instinctively turned around, and saw Hawke appear behind him.

Scott looked at the newcomer with delight, and with a soft "plop," the Ant-Man mask came off. Before Hawke could say anything more, he excitedly exclaimed, "Hawk!"

Hawke was slightly taken aback when he saw Scott recognize him.

For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether the Scott in front of him came from his universe or from the multiverse where Bruce Banner resided.

After all… if he remembered correctly, the Bruce Banner that Sharon mentioned had said that Bruce Banner didn’t recognize him.

Just as Hawke was thinking this, Scott stepped forward and prepared to give Hawke a warm bear hug.

"God, Hawke, what are you doing here?"

“I’m not the Hawk you know.”

"what?"

Hawk swayed slightly, avoiding Scott's embrace, and looked calmly at Scott, who was still in the embracing position: "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Hawk from your universe."

Scott's expression froze, then he looked at Hawke, who didn't seem to be joking, his thoughts raced, and then he exclaimed in surprise.

"Thick-skinned Xie, multiverse?"

"Yes."

"Jesus Christ!"

Scott instinctively reached up and wiped his face, then looked at Hawke with an incredulous expression: "You're from the multiverse?"

Hawke chuckled and surveyed the bizarre quantum landscape around him.

“Here, you too come from some multiverse.”

"Gissus!"

Scott gasped again, then seemed to realize something: "You know me, so I'm in your universe too?"

Hawke smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Yes, it seems that I am also in your universe. Why don't you tell me about your universe first, and then I will tell you about you in my universe?"

Scott wanted to say that he had been stuck there for more than four hours, and that Hank and the others who were supposed to pull him back seemed to have lost contact with him.

but……

Who cares? More than four hours have already passed, so staying a little longer won't hurt. After all, this is the first time that the quantum realm has been proven to be a connection between the multiverse.

So Scott began his presentation.

Hawke also learned about his own story in Scott's universe from Scott's words, and also understood why Bruce Banner, who came from the same universe as Scott, did not know him.

Well known.

Bruce Banner exiled himself into space because the Hulk had a terrible temper. So, after a big fight with Tony Stark, he chose to board the S.H.I.E.L.D. and exile himself into space.

The version of himself in that universe only appeared after Bruce Banner exiled him.

In that universe, he also had a nickname, just like Scott was called "Ant-Man" and Tony Stark was called "Iron Man".

"Mind Warrior?"

Hawke smirked as he heard Scott utter the nickname: "What a lousy name."

Scott shrugged: "That's what the captain and the others call him anyway, and you didn't deny it. Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've seen you."

Hawke raised an eyebrow.

"why?"

"After the Battle of the German airport, you and Wanda left, Captain America and Sharon ran away, and I was the only one who got caught."

"……etc."

Hawke, listening to Scott's words, interrupted again, looking at Scott: "Me, Wanda?"

Scott nodded: "Yeah, you and Wanda, what, in your universe, aren't you and Wanda boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Hawke's expression turned somewhat strange as he listened to Scott's question. He thought of Wanda from his own universe, then frowned and said, "My relationship with Wanda from my universe... is a bit complicated."

He had no physical contact with Wanda.

Of all the waters in the world, he only takes a sip.

But it cannot be denied that his daughter Jean, as well as Billy and Tommy, do indeed carry his bloodline with Wanda.

and so……

He wasn't really interested in spending time exploring his relationship with Wanda.

Upon hearing Hawke's answer, Scott's expression suddenly changed, and he changed the subject, asking Hawke about his experiences in Hawke's universe.

Hawke answered truthfully.

After hearing this, Scott felt a little upset: "No, how come I got caught again?"

In his world, he helped Captain America and got captured.

In Hawke's world, he either helps Captain America or he gets captured.

Is he the only one who's doing it?

Hawke shrugged at Scott's complaints.

Scott was a little upset, but not for long, before quickly steer the conversation back on track: "By the way, Hawke, how did you get into the quantum realm?"

Hawke laughed.

Just as he was about to speak.

Unexpected.

A sudden alarm rang out from Scott's watch.

next moment.

Scott jolted awake, looking up at Hawke: "Oh no, I'm going to be pulled out..."

Before he could finish speaking, an infinitely stretched tunnel appeared behind Scott, and Scott was sucked in as if he had been twisted into a pretzel.

Without hesitation, Hawke followed Scott in almost the instant Scott was sucked in.
