Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 461 Hawke's Revenge Never Waits (Third Update!!!)
Located in Arlington County, Virginia, on the banks of the Potomac River, there is a pentagonal building completed in 1943.

It is the permanent office of the Federal Department of Defense.

It is also the headquarters of the federal armed forces.

This is—

Pentagon!

boom!
Under the cover of night, above the brightly lit Pentagon, a deafening sonic boom erupted, and Hawke's voice echoed throughout the entire Pentagon.

Thaddeus Ross, come out and face your death!

"boom--!!!"

Hawke crashed into the concrete of the Pentagon’s central courtyard like a meteorite, and with a groan from the earth, the shockwave spread out in a ring, tearing up the neat lawns and paving stones.

The alarm blared mournfully.

The well-prepared guards poured out from all the exits, and as they watched Hawke slowly rise from the smoke and dust under the helicopter's spotlight, wearing a scarlet bodysuit, they immediately pulled the trigger.

It's a pity it's useless.

Their prized bullets did no harm to Hawke.

Hawke's punch was enough to kill them instantly.

even--

Hawke didn't even need to throw a punch. After scanning the area, he instantly stopped and, in a flash, flew around the central courtyard corridor like a scarlet streak of light.

And when his figure reappeared, an incredibly shocking scene unfolded.

The soldier right next to Hawke, even behind him, was melting away at a visible speed.

Yes.

Ablation.

Not only him, but almost every soldier who appeared in the corridor had their bodies melt into blood foam at a visible speed, exploding all around.

Again.

Even though Hawke can no longer use supernatural energy, his life level and physical body alone are enough to rival a star.

and so--

What would happen if a mere mortal body collided with a star?

This is exactly what it looks like right now.

It turned into blood foam.

next second.

Hawke ignored the thick concrete wall in front of him and took a step forward. The thick concrete wall crumbled instantly, like fragile tofu, revealing the intricate corridors and offices inside.

And many more soldiers!
The special forces inside the building were already on high alert, and all their bullets had been urgently replaced with X-energy suppression bullets. The moment they saw Hawke, they all pulled the triggers.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot..."

“Don’t overestimate your capabilities!!”

Hawke looked down at the blue-glowing energy bullet that had struck his body, unable to penetrate even his battle suit. He sneered, his cold but penetrating voice echoing throughout the corridor. Then he looked up at the soldier blocking his way.

next second.

He moved.

"boom!"

"Oh!"

"Boom!"

Hawke's figure moved like a phantom, instantly traversing from his original spot to the end of the corridor. Wherever his phantom passed, soldiers blocking the way turned into blood foam, and soldiers on both sides were also reduced to half-blood foam. They were swept up by the raging wind and flung against the walls on both sides, some even being directly smeared onto the walls.

These soldiers didn't even have a chance to scream.

After all, they were already dead before they even screamed.

but……

Hawke was not actually bloodthirsty.

Killing is merely a means, never an end.

Hawke's purpose in coming here was clear: since General Thaddeus Ross here did not like the second life he had given him, he would take it back.

As for where General Thaddeus Ross is hiding here...

He is very clear.

one more time.

Hawke had been to Quantico before, and he had also been to the Pentagon before. Therefore, Hawke knew exactly where people could hide in the Pentagon.

and so--

Hawke ignored the soldiers rushing towards him, or at least those who weren't blocking his way.

After all, these soldiers were just following orders.

But Hawke showed no mercy to the soldiers who blocked his way or ran up to him in an attempt to stop him.

If they want to die, then let them die.

One by one, the soldiers blocking Hawk's path turned into blood and gore. He smashed through reinforced concrete walls as if they were made of paper, until he finally stopped in front of a massive alloy door several feet thick.

Behind this door lies the only passageway to the Pentagon command center and the Pentagon's underground safe house.

The automatic defense weapon on the alloy door activated almost instantly the moment Hawk crashed through the wall and appeared in the corridor, unleashing armor-piercing rounds at him.

"is that useful?"

Hawke remained expressionless, strolling through the metal storm of armor-piercing bullets as if walking in a downpour. He arrived at the alloy door as if taking a leisurely walk, glanced at a hidden camera above the door, and then raised his right foot and kicked the alloy door in front of him.

Boom!

The walls on either side of the massive alloy door, weighing several tons, tore apart with a crash. Then, the heavy door continued its downward trajectory, flying backward and slamming into the passageway behind it. The moment the door hit the ground, the ground shattered, and the tremendous commotion caused the ground beneath to tremble.

As the alloy door collapsed, Hawke was presented with the Pentagon's command center.

At this moment.

In the command center hall filled with monitoring screens, the staff inside watched in horror as Hawke, whose figure resembled a demon god, emerged from the smoke and dust and appeared in their sight.

After stepping through the collapsing alloy gate, Hawke's feet left the ground, and under countless horrified gazes, he hovered in the center of the command center. His eyes swept over the surrounding crowd, his face ashen and his eyes filled with despair, as well as terror on their faces.

next second.

Hawke's voice was low and somber.

"Open the safe house, and you'll live!"

"Or, you will die."

"beep!"

Almost the instant Hawke landed, a colonel who appeared to be the commander of the command center snapped to attention and shouted to his left and right without hesitation, "Activate emergency power and open the safe house passage."

Zuo You also jumped up and quickly responded.

soon.

With a loud thud, the wall to the right of the command center seemed to come alive, accompanied by the sound of gears turning with difficulty, and then a safety elevator that led directly to the underground safe house was revealed.

Hawke glanced at the exposed security elevator, chuckled softly, and then looked at the colonel who had unhesitatingly chosen survival over loyalty.

"Let's go."

"...Thank God!"

Upon hearing this, the colonel trembled, then reacted and shouted. In an instant, the command center, which had been stunned by Hawke's arrival just a second ago, was now like poultry released from their cages, screaming and shouting as they rushed outside.

one more time.

Killing is merely a means, not an end.

Hawke ignored the people scrambling to escape, landed on his feet, went straight to the open emergency elevator, and pressed the close button.

next second.

The elevator goes down.

It was descending rapidly.

Hawke, who was in the elevator, felt the elevator plummeting downwards, but his heart was completely unmoved, and he even felt like laughing.

"The fight between trapped beasts."

"boom!"

The elevator plummeted into the underground elevator shaft at incredible speed. With a loud bang, the massive impact blew the elevator doors off the ground.

Hawke emerged from the dust-covered elevator doors completely unharmed, without even a speck of dust on him.

It must be said that the suit Wanda wove with the power of crimson chaos is of truly superb quality.

Hawke thought to himself, then walked through the underground passage with a completely calm expression, and arrived at the entrance of the safe house, which was made of reinforced concrete fifteen meters thick.

At the entrance of the safe house, a group of soldiers also saw Hawke walking towards them.

The numbers are relative.

The soldiers, who were informed in real time of what was happening above via walkie-talkie, watched Hawke approach and, under Hawke's cold gaze, all chose to put down their weapons and raise their hands in surrender.

Although they were able to guard the entrance of the safe house, they were almost all the people most trusted by the generals inside.

but……

What's the use of trust when you're about to lose your life?

Well known.

The Federation is a nation of immigrants, so when casualties exceed 10 percent, a rout occurs.

Therefore, it is quite normal for this group of soldiers to choose to lay down their weapons and surrender.

Hawke was not surprised at all.

"Let's go."

"……Thanks."

Upon hearing Hawke's words, the soldier in the lead breathed a sigh of relief from his solemn expression. After saying goodbye to Hawke, he lowered his head, took the lead, and ran past Hawke towards the outside.

I just don't know how these soldiers will get out of here when the elevator is already broken.

But this has nothing to do with Hawke.

Hawke glanced at the soldier who had disappeared around the corner, then looked back at the safe house, which was 15 meters thick, and the alloy door, which was also 10 meters thick and could not be driven by human power but could only be closed by machine.

next second.

boom!
Hawke punched the alloy door, and instantly a dent appeared on it. The huge noise shook the entire underground corridor.

One more punch!
The crater deepened, causing the corridor to vibrate.

One punch, two punches, three punches...

The dents on the alloy door are getting deeper and deeper.

"Bah..."

“Mr. Phoenix, we can talk.”

"Ah!"

Hawke glanced up at the voice above him, a contemptuous smile on his face, and then punched the alloy door in front of him again.

boom!
……
