Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 438 The Warden and the Prison Guards (Second Update!!)

Hawke is only ten steps away from the Eighth Sense.

Transcendence is imminent!

Once he defines his life as 'unique,' his life will undergo a fundamental transformation, completely detaching him from the main multiverse.

This is something the universe itself cannot accept.

same.

This is also something that the Celestials, who are responsible for maintaining the temporal order of the main multiverse, do not want to see.

If we compare the universe to a prison, then Hawke is a prisoner preparing to escape.

The universe itself is the prison warden.

The Heavenly Gods are the prison guards.

Well known.

The warden doesn't want to see prisoners escape, but the guards are even less willing to see prisoners break out.

This is the kind of relationship between the universe itself and the Celestials.

This is why Hawke is targeting the Celestials for Gwen.

only……

Hawke listened to the explanation from Eribes, the Six-Tube God Calculator, and a hint of confusion flashed in his double-pupiled eyes.

"You cannot stop me from transcending."

"And it can't kill me either."

"So...you've chosen to slow me down?"

Hawke spoke in a cryptic tone, then looked at the Calculator Eribers with a similarly enigmatic gaze: "You used the lives of your entire race as a price, just to slow me down?"

What is this called?

Between surrendering and losing half the battle, and fleeing far away, did they choose to die early and be reborn sooner?

Are you in such a hurry to die?
Hawke's thoughts raced, then he shook his head, glanced at his daughter Jean, and then looked at the Calculator Erebus: "Since you know I won't compromise, why did you bring my daughter here? You can now abandon her in some multiverse that I can't reach for the time being."

Wanda, who was standing nearby, glanced at Hawke instinctively after hearing his words.

Hawke remained expressionless.

He never accepts threats.

Mephisto threatened him with his sister, but he refused.

The god Grimoire threatened him with his wife, but he refused to accept it.

at the moment?

He will not compromise either.

Clang!
A phoenix projection perched on a sycamore tree appeared behind Hawke. The energy released from the explosion of the phoenix universe continuously increased Hawke's power, which had been suppressed by this universe.

Sensing Hawke's resistance, the cosmic instinct, which had been waiting for Hawke to seek transcendence once again, roared once more.

Da Yin Xisheng.

"Roar!"

"roll!"

Hawke's voice boomed like thunder, clashing with the instinctive roar of this universe: "I swear in the name of Phoenix that I will not transcend here, but if you dare to suppress me again, the moment I transcend will be the moment your universe is annihilated!"

All of a sudden.

The roar of cosmic instinct vanished.

same.

The overwhelming pressure that had been exerting on Hawke from all directions had completely vanished without a trace.

After all, what God says is not just words, but divine pronouncements.

The warden and the prison guards may seem to be on the same side, but their demands are different.

In a word.

The warden sought stability, content as long as no prison breaks occurred in his prison.

Therefore, once it was determined that Hawke would not transcend in his universe, naturally, the instincts of this universe no longer suppressed Hawke.

The prison guards, also known as the Celestials, have different demands.

They have only one demand.

No one is allowed to transcend, because every act of transcendence, in a sense, is undermining the foundation of the multiverse.

To be precise, it's about undermining the foundation of eternity.

This is something the created Celestials would absolutely not allow, since they are the ones responsible for guarding prisoners in every universe.

and so……

As long as Hawke doesn't transcend his existence or plunder his origin, the universe doesn't care. But the Celestials are different.

They were locked in a life-or-death struggle.

However, after Hawke swore his oath, the universe withdrew its suppression and still sent a message to Hawke.

He must leave this universe as soon as possible, or else the universe's all-encompassing oppression will descend upon him again.

Hawke chose to ignore it.

boom!
As Hawke's phoenix wings unfurled and his cosmos exploded, his aura, amplified by the Saint Cloth and the cosmos explosion, briefly once again entered the gates of life, or the eighth sense.

next second.

Hawke vanished from the spot, his cold voice echoing through the universe.

"die!"

"Oh!"

Like a cosmic giant, Eribers, a member of the Celestials who stood tall in the cosmic sky, felt his enormous head suddenly open wide, followed by a golden light, and then the cold voice that reached his ears.

He subconsciously raised his right hand, which seemed as large as if it could grasp the moon, and touched the huge crater on his forehead, like a comet crashing into the earth. The six tubes of light on his head flickered, then gradually faded until they went out completely. Then, like the god Grihas, his huge head drooped down like a machine that had lost power.

at the same time.

The daughter, Chyn, who seemed to be floating in front of the head of the god Eribers, also began to blur and disappear completely the moment the god Eribers went offline.

Wanda's heart tightened as she watched this scene!
"Qin!"

"Qin never came to this universe in the first place."

"what?"

Wanda, seeing Hawke back beside her, hurriedly asked, "Where did Jean go?" Hawke's Saint Cloth disintegrated and returned to the phoenix on the phoenix tree. Looking at the second Celestial skeleton in the Milky Way before him, he said, "Like Gwen, in some multiverse."

Upon hearing this, Wanda's expression flashed with a hint of panic, but she quickly calmed down.

"Wait, if he knows you won't be blackmailed, why did he still pull this stunt?"

"Just like he said..."

Hawke glanced at the colossal corpse of the god Erebus not far away and chuckled, "To slow down my transcendence, huh?"

Wanda was puzzled by what she heard.

But just as she was about to ask another question, a cold and languid voice suddenly rang out.

Wanda looked in the direction of the sound.

into the eye.

Death appeared abruptly above the head of the god Eribers, who bent down, opened his right hand, and gently blew a breath.

next moment.

The soul of the god Eribes appeared on the palm of Death. The originally enormous god Eribes now stood on the palm of Death, looking down at Death, who seemed to cover the entire world and smile at him, and knelt down on one knee.

"Owner."

"Now you belong to me."

The hand of death closed, then smiled slightly, casually tossing the death dimension created by the closing of its hand and the newly born death lord Eribers into the multiverse bubble that appeared in the blink of an eye: "Go help me maintain the operation of my soul."

After doing all this, Death lazily looked at Hawke.

“The eternal servants have departed from here.”

"It's obvious they're afraid of you."

"Ah."

Hawke sneered, "If they were really afraid of me, they wouldn't have kept provoking me."

Death shrugs: "Fear is your instinct, stopping you is your job."

Hawke raised his eyebrows.

Death smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not speaking up for them. They're not my servants."

Hawke smiled but didn't say anything.

Wanda frowned as she looked at the sudden death: "Do you know they sent my daughter to that multiverse?"

Death looked at Wanda, who had spoken, and his eyes lit up.

next second.

Death shakes its head.

“I am the abstraction of all souls. If you ask me where Pietro’s soul is, I will tell you, but I do not know the soul of the lyre.”

"why?"

"Because your daughters' souls are not under my jurisdiction."

The voice of death was languid as it spoke, then looked at Hawke: "Or, you can hand over Jean's soul to me, and I can tell you immediately that your daughter has been thrown into that universe by the Celestials."

Eyes facing each other.

Death laughed.

Hawke laughed too.

"No, thanks."

"..."

To send the soul of the zither to death?
Ha ha.

Does he look that stupid?
Jean's soul was given to Death. Will Death tell him which multiverse Jean went to? But one thing is certain: taking Jean's soul back from Death will not be as easy as taking his sister Anya's soul from Mephisto.

The most important thing.

Hawke calmly watched the death unfold: "The Celestials didn't capture Jean, did they?"

Wanda, who was standing nearby, was slightly taken aback upon hearing this: "What?"

Death shrugged.

"I do not know."

"hehe."

Hawk chuckled, then looked at Wanda, who was staring at him with expressive eyes, and said, "The Celestial Eribers did go to my universe, and indeed went to the skies above Westworld, but he didn't catch Jean. Or rather, he caught Jean, but Jean found an opportunity to escape during the journey through the multiverse."

This is why he acted without regard for the consequences, even when his daughter was still in the hands of the god Eribers.

The projection of the god Erebus was so skillful that even Wanda couldn't see through it.

But Hawke figured it out.

Hawke did not see life because of the lyre created by the god Eribers.

The Phoenix Flame is the flame of life. Just as Death can tell at a glance whether someone has a soul, Hawke can also tell at a glance whether something has life.

But the god Eribes did indeed go and grab the lyre.

Can……

He succeeded and he failed. Jyn must have escaped from Eribers during the time travel, which explains why the flow of time suddenly resonated between parallel universes and the multiverse.

Death listened to Hawke's speculations, its empty eyes sparkling with strange light.

“You’re very smart, Phoenix.”

"Thank you."

Where is that zither now?

Wanda doesn't care about anything else, she only cares about one thing.

Where did her daughter, Qin, go?

Hawke smiled.

"They must have accidentally gotten lost in some multiverse."

"But don't worry."

"I will find her."

"..."
