Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 458 Standing on the Side of Humanity as a Mutant (Second Update!!)
Hawke didn't know the exact address of the Xavier's School that the sentry had mentioned.

but……

He knew Westchester County.

The area is known for its beautiful countryside, expansive estates, and relatively tranquil environment.

Let's say that.

Most of the old-money people in the eastern part of the Federation have set up their estates here, where the dense forests provide a perfect barrier for their vast estates.

The most important thing.

Westchester County is not far from New York City, a cosmopolitan metropolis known for its wealth, and Washington, D.C., a center of power.

Hawke knew where Westchester County was, but he had never been there.

Before the existence of the Little Universe, he was poor, and when he went there, everywhere was marked "Private Land, Do Not Approach." If he, a penniless and powerless orphan, were to be arrested, who knows whose body his organs would end up in.

After the emergence of the microcosm, I haven't been there much.

Firstly, because he was busy; secondly, because he no longer looked down on Westchester County.

To put it in a cliché way

Previously, Westchester County ignored him, but after his inner power was awakened, he became someone Westchester County could no longer afford to associate with.

sunset.

We've arrived at Grema King Lane, Westchester County, New York, also known as Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

only……

It seems we're late.

Looking around, the scene was one of utter devastation. The once vast Xavier Manor looked as if it had been bombed. The main structure of the manor had completely collapsed into ruins, with building debris and various supplies scattered all over the lawn.

There was no one in sight.

Boom!
Hawke landed with Wanda on the lawn in front of the ruined manor house.

Are we too late?

"There's no one here."

Wanda glanced around, then frowned slightly as she looked at the deserted manor.

Hawke's gaze swept around his surroundings.

at this time.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The sound of gunfire echoed from the woods surrounding the manor. Then, countless small, exquisite-looking objects, resembling drones, were launched into the air. After reaching a certain altitude, they shot out dazzling blue light. The dazzling blue light instantly linked together, and in the blink of an eye, it was as if a blue fishing net had been cast over and around Xavier's Academy of Geniuses.

Wanda watched this scene, a thought flashing through her mind. She then raised her hand and looked at the crimson chaotic power that was clearly being suppressed by some kind of force: "It's that X-gene suppressor again."

Hawke, standing to the side, smirked and looked at Wanda: "Now you know why I wanted to get rid of Quantico."

Again.

The federal government's credit rating is actually not much better than Mephisto's.

In some ways, he's even inferior to Mephisto.

After all, no matter how shameless or untrustworthy Mephisto is, he couldn't possibly pull off a move where he comes out of hell one second and then goes back on his word the next.

But for the Federation, all of this was just basic stuff.

"Then why didn't you expose them back then?"

"Don't you think that's cruel?"

"When did I..."

Upon hearing this, Wanda instinctively glanced at Hawke.

Hawke's gaze was calm.

Eyes facing each other.

Wanda opened her mouth, then avoided Hawke's gaze: "Well, I really didn't expect the Federation here to be this shameless."

She truly hadn't expected the Federation here to operate in this way.

Hawk has come to our doorstep, demonstrating his power to wipe you all out, and even giving you a chance to survive.

The results of it?
We just left your side a second ago, and the next second you're already thinking about getting revenge?
Are you so stubborn?

No.

Who gave you your courage?

So brave?
Wanda said she found it hard to understand.

Hawke, however, was quite understanding.

Who gives the Federation its confidence? Who else could it be but the infamous mutant Professor X, Charles Xavier?

Professor X always steps forward whenever a mutant stands up for the rights of mutants against humans.

As a mutant, he stands on the side of humanity.

That was the case with Black Emperor Shaw that time.

The same thing happened with Magneto and Erik.

Professor X is always diligent and tireless, and as a mutant, he urges mutants to believe that humans can coexist peacefully with them.

It is precisely because of Professor X's blatant favoritism that humanity has become so emboldened, and that mutants are in their current predicament...

Let's say that.

Black slaves were treated better than mutants.

Just as the blue fishing net completely surrounded the entire Xavier Academy of Geniuses, a continuous stream of footsteps came from the surrounding woods. Then, many fully armed soldiers, including some sentry uniforms, emerged from the woods.

Beside the group of soldiers, several armored vehicles rumbled out of the woods, with soldiers steadily pressing down on the heavy machine guns mounted on the vehicles.

After these soldiers and sentries appeared, without any words or hesitation, they immediately pointed their guns at Hawke and Wanda, whom they believed to be completely surrounded and suppressed.

Their orders were to set a trap here, wait for the prey to fall into it, and then eliminate it.

Yes.

Eliminate, not arrest.

Therefore—"Fire in quick succession!"

The soldier, seemingly the commander, gave the order instantly.

In an instant.

Twelve armored vehicles opened fire simultaneously, heavy machine guns spitting fire, spent shell casings raining down on the grass, thousands of bullets forming an impenetrable killing net that instantly engulfed Hawke and Wanda, who were surrounded.

Wanda opened her arms wide.

Despite being somewhat suppressed, the crimson chaotic power, though not completely suppressed, instantly erected an energy barrier.

The dense barrage of bullets bombarded the scarlet energy barrier, creating countless ripples.

In an instant, the warheads piled up all over the ground of the barrier.

Hawke, standing to the side, watched this scene calmly.

"Does anyone still have compassion?"

"..."

Wandalie provided a continuous source of energy for the barrier. Upon hearing Hawke's words, he paused in his breathing, then glanced at Hawke beside him, his eyes sharp.

"You're right, they don't deserve your mercy."

"hehe."

Hawke smiled slightly upon hearing this, then said nothing more, his feet gradually leaving the ground, directly departing from Wanda's energy barrier.

Upon seeing this, a sniper did not hesitate, aimed directly at Hawke's eyes, and instantly pulled the trigger.

Bang!
The specially designed armor-piercing bullet was fired with a sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air, instantly reaching Hawke's left eyeball.

but……

The armor-piercing bullet, which should have pierced Hawke's eye to the sniper, was flattened the moment it touched Hawke's left eye, turning into a useless piece of metal, which then turned into dust at a visible speed.

It's not just this specially made armor-piercing projectile.

The moment Hawk left the Wanda energy barrier, all the bullets began to move with him, but when thousands of bullets hit Hawk's skin, they all met the same fate.

Turned to dust!

next moment.

Hawke moved.

His movements were completely unprepared; one second he was as graceful as a statue, the next he transformed into a red lightning bolt. In the blink of an eye, he passed through the so-called blue fishing net that the soldiers had placed their hopes on, thinking it could trap him, and then continued straight into the group of soldiers without slowing down.

Hawke was so fast that the air was torn apart wherever he went, creating a brief vacuum. The two rows of soldiers were blown away by the swirling air currents, just like dolls kicked away by a giant. They died in mid-air and then turned into corpses and fell to the ground.

A machine gunner standing on an armored vehicle watched as Hawk charged toward him, his pupils dilating in shock.

but……

Before he could finish expanding, Hawke punched through the armored vehicle beneath him, tearing apart his lower body inside the vehicle as well.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Wearing a red bodysuit tailor-made for him by Wanda, Hawk ignored the barrage of bullets raining down on him from all sides, and the moment he turned around, he slammed his fist into the ground.

The ground beneath his fist erupted in response, a widespread eruption. Centered on him, the shockwave spread out in a ring, causing all the soldiers within fifty meters to lose their balance and be thrown into the sky along with the eruption. The shockwave passed through their bodies, directly shredding their internal organs.

Chu Chu Chu!
"emission!"

"call out!"

The moment Hawke looked up, an air-to-ground missile was launched by an oncoming fighter jet.

The missile struck his body instantly, scattering endless flames.

Hawke burst out of the flames and hovered instantly in front of the arriving fighter jets and the helicopter formation that had also arrived.

Helicopters and fighter jets opened fire with their machine guns.

The bullet struck Hawke's chest, deformed, and bounced off.

Hawke appeared expressionless in front of a helicopter, and then, with his right hand outstretched, he grasped the helicopter's wildly spinning propeller.

The propeller came to an instant.

Bang!
The moment the engine caught fire, just as the soldiers inside the helicopter were trying to parachute to safety, Hawke grabbed the helicopter and, with a forceful push of his right arm, used it as a weapon to knock away another helicopter standing nearby.

Boom!

The moment the two helicopters collided head-on.

Two enormous fireballs shot out in response.

Brilliant as fire.

The most maneuverable fighter pilot, witnessing this scene, was terrified and tried to turn around and escape.

But just as he was about to flee,

boom!
Hawke pierced the fighter jet's body with his bare flesh, hovering in mid-air, and then watched expressionlessly as the fighter jet exploded into a fireball and fell to the ground below.

five minutes later.

The battle is over.

but……

Only the battle here has ended.

after all!

He gave them a chance to live.

pity!

General Thaddeus Ross here also mistook his kindness for weakness!

That being the case.

Then just die!

　It's been revised. I'll resume three updates a day tomorrow!
