Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 468 Mutant Apocalypse and Hawke (First Update!)

"listen!"

"This is my advice to everyone in this world."

"A word of advice to each and every one of you!"

"Humans and mutants."

"You have lost your way."

"The final judgment is coming, and all the magnificent towers you have built will collapse."

"And another era is about to begin, and for all of you, you have no other choice."

"This message is being sent for only one purpose."

"Tell the strongest among you to find the strongest one who comes from outside and is right here among you."

"I have returned!!!"

"Protect yourselves, that's what I want to say to the whole world..."

This voice appeared at this very moment, in the ears of humans and mutants in every corner of the earth, and resounded directly in their minds.

even--

Even Hawke and Wanda heard this message ringing in their ears at that moment.

But this message seems to have a mismatch between the beginning and the end.

Although the voice is the same, the meaning expressed before is completely different from the meaning of the last sentence that ends abruptly.

The voice is Professor X's.

But if nothing unexpected happens, apart from the last sentence which was what he wanted to say, everything else Professor X said was a conversation between the mutant Apocalypse and the world, controlled by Professor X's mind.

wrong.

Not to the whole world, but to one person.

After Wanda's voice abruptly stopped, she looked at Hawke and asked, "Is this guy after you?"

What defines the world's strongest?

What does it mean to be the strongest person in this world who comes from outside but is right here at this moment?

This isn't even a riddle anymore.

This is clearly an open-book exam; it's obvious that this mutant Apocalypse is having a conversation with Hawke.

only……

"Using this world to blackmail you into saving it?"

Or are we trying to invite you to join us for this grand event?

Because of Professor X's resistance, Apocalypse's voice came to an abrupt halt, and for a moment it was unclear whether Apocalypse was issuing a challenge to Hawke or an invitation to form a team.

Hawke smiled and looked at Wanda.

"I don't know, but one thing is certain."

"what?"

"He's inviting me to meet him."

Putting everything else aside, this mutant Apocalypse, while announcing his return to the world, was also extending an invitation to meet him.

As for whether they are enemies or friends, that remains to be seen.

Wanda frowned deeply: "You heard his voice?"

Hawke nodded.

Seeing this, Wanda frowned even more deeply: "He can enter your mental world?"

Hawke met Wanda's gaze and nodded calmly.

"Yes, thanks to the amplification of Professor X's psychic abilities, his voice can penetrate my barrier and resonate in my mental world."

"hiss!"

Wanda gasped, her pretty face contorting with a series of expressions.

Just as the mutants were using Professor X to announce his return to the world, Jean, who had been burning her spiritual energy to communicate with Professor X privately and learn of his current location, felt a little dizzy. Then she looked at her mother Wanda, who suddenly gasped.

"Mom, what does Dad mean by that?"

"It means that this mutant Apocalypse has the ability to kill your father."

Wanda looked at Jean with a serious expression: "The mutant Apocalypse uses Professor X, and his power can affect your father's mental world."

Upon hearing this, Qin's expression changed instantly. She struggled to stand firm and looked at Hawke beside her.

"dad?"

"Not really."

Hawke chuckled and said, "Your mother is exaggerating."

Jean turned her gaze to Wanda.

"Mother?"

"What do you mean it's not that serious?"

Wanda looked at Hawke with a serious expression: "Your supernatural powers have been temporarily blocked, you said so yourself. Moreover, if your supernatural powers were still there, could this mutant's voice still be transmitted directly into your mental world?"

Hawke met Wanda's serious face and gaze, but said nothing, only shook his head.

Because he couldn't refute that statement.

If the energy of his Golden Phoenix Cosmos had descended here with him, there would have been no way that the sound just now could have appeared in his mental world.

After all, Hawke in his prime could take down a Celestial with a single punch.

A mere mutant like Apocalypse is not of the caliber or qualification to appear in Hawke's mental world and engage in direct dialogue with him.

Actually, it's the same now.

It is impossible for Apocalypse alone to have a direct dialogue with him in the spiritual world.

Apocalypse also needs Professor X's mental amplification to break through Hawke's instinctive defenses in his mental world and engage in direct dialogue with Hawke.

Wanda looked at Hawke, who was just shaking his head and remaining silent, and took a deep breath.

"The answer is now clear."

"what is the answer?"

Qin, the daughter, was puzzled by her mother's seemingly random remark.

Wanda ignored her daughter and continued to stare at Hawke: "This Earth is a trap set for you." Hawke met Wanda's gaze calmly.

Qin, Wanda's daughter, gasped in surprise upon hearing Wanda's words.

"what?"

"trap?"

“Dad, this is…”

"Not that serious."

Hawke looked at his daughter Qin, who was clutching him in a panic, and said with a chuckle, "It's not as scary as your mother said, it's not that exaggerated."

As he spoke, he gave Wanda a wink.

Wanda ignored her: "You can't go there. As long as you're out of his sight, even if that Professor X is there, he can't mentally suppress you."

Well known.

Saint Seiya possesses not only the energy of a cosmos but also a physique comparable to that of the universe.

Cultivating both physical and demonic powers.

Hawke is currently without magic, but his physical abilities are undeniable. Even without his supernatural power, he is still the strongest warrior without exception.

The question of who would win in a clash between warriors and mages has always been a subject of debate.

But one thing is certain.

Whoever has the home ground in a battle has the advantage.

Wanda doesn't know if the home ground belongs to the mutant Apocalypse, but she's certain that this is Hawke's away ground.

Playing away from home already halves your strength, not to mention that Hawke was further weakened by the universe here when he entered the away game.

and so……

Ignore Apocalypse's invitation, whether he's good or bad, the best course of action is to not go.

Upon hearing this, Jean realized what was happening and looked up at Hawke: "Yes, Dad, no matter what this mutant wants to do, you can't go."

Hawke opened his mouth, then looked at Wanda, who insisted on her own idea, and then at his daughter Jean, whose eyes were pleading. After thinking for a moment, he chuckled and said, "Fine, I won't go."

Wanda didn't speak, she just looked at Hawke.

Whether Hawke is really not going or not, she will keep an eye on him because she promised Gwen that she would take good care of Hawke while Gwen is away.

Wanda certainly doesn't want such a scene to occur.

Gwen returned and stared intently at her: "Wanda, where's Hawk? Tell me, where did Hawk go?"

The most important thing!
Wanda's thoughts raced as she looked at Hawke's faint smile and repeated a sentence in a low voice.

"You are not allowed to go."

"Row."

Upon hearing this, Hawke nodded immediately and decisively ended the conversation. The three of them then left the room and went outside.

into the eye.

Mystique, Raven, Cyclops, and Quicksilver also heard the voice that had just resounded directly in the mental world.

"It's Charles."

"It seems that Apocalypse has taken control of the professor."

"The professor is in Cairo!"

The sound came from the zither.

Mystique and the other X-Men all looked at Jean Grey as she emerged.

Raven stepped forward and looked at Jean, whose face was somewhat pale: "Jean, are you alright? Your face looks pale..."

Qin shook her head: "The professor just spoke to me."

Just as Apocalypse was announcing the news to the world, the professor, like a hacker, directly found Jean.

Jean Grey tells Mystique, Raven, and the others about the news in Cairo, Egypt: "Magneto is also there. Apocalypse plans to use Magneto to manipulate the Earth's magnetic field and completely destroy all of humanity."

Magneto, Magneto.

There are only wrong names, never wrong nicknames.

Don't be fooled by Eric's ability to manipulate metal; that's because he never went to school. His true mutant ability is that of Magneto, who can manipulate magnetic fields.

Simply put, if Magneto were willing and had the energy, he could instantly reverse or destroy the Earth's magnetic field.

Of course, destruction is definitely out of the question; after all, if Earth lost its magnetic field, it would end up like Mars.

But reversing the magnetic field is not a problem.

So what if mountains and rivers collapse and the world crumbles? It's no big deal. After human civilization is destroyed, the Earth will still be the same Earth.

Mystique Raven perked up immediately upon hearing that Professor X was in Cairo.

Laser Eyes was also jolted: "We must rescue the professor."

Qin looked conflicted upon hearing this.

She heard from her mother Wanda that Cairo might be a trap for her father, and like her mother, she begged her father not to go there.

But then it suddenly dawned on her that the professor was also in Cairo.

She couldn't very well ask her father not to go over there, and then run over there herself.

but……

Professor X?

If Hawke and Wanda hadn't come, she would definitely have chosen the past. At this moment, she once again became the little girl who didn't like to think independently, subconsciously turning her head to look at her father and mother who had finally found her.

next second.

Jean's gaze swept over her father, Hawke, and finally settled on her mother, Wanda.

"mom!"

"..."

Sure enough, although the daughter is closer to her father, she will still think of her mother first when something happens.

Wanda looked at her daughter, who looked conflicted, and thought about how Professor X had indeed taken good care of her daughter before they arrived. She subconsciously glanced at Hawke beside her.

After receiving a look from Wanda, Hawke glanced sideways and met her gaze.
