Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 494 Professor X, Having Used Up All His Favors (First Update!)

When Hawke received the call from his daughter Jean, he was still meditating and seeking enlightenment under the sycamore tree in his backyard on Palm Street, just like Buddha.

But this is just for show.

after all--

His path was clear: he only needed to die to fully perfect his six senses before he could challenge the eighth sense, which symbolized life.

Hawke was sitting cross-legged at the moment, pondering where he would best set up the battlefield with the Celestials.

He personally prefers Washington, D.C.

no Zuo no Die.

Since the Federation here is determined to die, he doesn't mind granting their wish.

Just as Hawke was thinking this, Wanda, dressed in her pajamas, came out of the living room holding the phone.

Hawke, standing under the sycamore tree, felt a sudden urge, opened his eyes, and looked at Wanda as she walked out of the living room.

Eyes facing each other.

Wanda smiled slightly.

"My daughter called."

"let me guess……"

Upon hearing this, Hawke stood up from under the sycamore tree and said, "Professor X has morally blackmailed our daughter."

Wanda asked curiously, "You're not the kind of person with a strong sense of morality, so how come your daughter is so kind?"

Hawke shrugged: "You should ask me. Didn't you say you'd let me try to be a kind person? Your daughter is so kind, you should be very happy."

Wanda shook her head: "To be honest, I still hope our daughter is more like you. At least, doing so will never be a bad idea."

Again.

No one likes to be a saint, but everyone also likes to be a saint.

For the sake of one's children, one should plan for the long term.

Rather than wanting her daughter to be a kind person, Wanda prefers her daughter to be someone who won't suffer losses.

They can't be called bad people.

At the very least, it ensures that if someone tries to morally blackmail her, she can refuse without any burden and send that person as far away as possible.

"Don't worry, she will grow up."

Hawke dismissed Wanda's concerns with a smile: "Besides, with you and me here, how much can she suffer? At most, we can keep her by our side forever, so there's no need to worry."

Upon hearing this, Wanda rolled her eyes at Hawke.

"You mean, she can't even have a boyfriend anymore?"

"Want to be my son-in-law? Sure!"

Hawke smiled broadly: "Beating me is enough. Otherwise, what makes him think he can guarantee the protection of our daughter?"

He said this with an unusually serious and earnest expression.

Because this is the truth.

He doesn't object to his daughter dating or finding her a husband, but if he wants the son-in-law to accept him, then the son-in-law must prove that he has the ability to protect his daughter after he marries her off.

Wanda shook her head speechlessly after hearing Hawke's words.

"I hope you can stick to this principle, but I think you'll soften your heart when your daughter begs you."

"I won't."

"You can keep being stubborn!"

Wanda smiled slightly, then changed the subject, waving her phone at Hawke: "So, your daughter asked for help. What did you say?"

Hawke raised his eyebrows.

"Go ahead, isn't this the day we've been waiting for?"

"Row."

Upon hearing this, Wanda tossed the phone to Hawke, then turned and walked into the house: "Then call your daughter back. Perfect timing, I'll tidy up the house."

This is not their own universe, and they will have to go back sooner or later. However, some of the features here are different from those of their own universe.

Over the past period of time, Wanda had been gradually purchasing gifts and other items that she planned to bring back, which had been stored in the storage room.

After receiving the call, Hawke watched Wanda go back inside to pack her things, then picked up the phone and called his daughter back.

The call was answered quickly.

The voice of her daughter, Qin, came through the phone.

Qin first inquired about Hawke's physical condition over the phone. After a while, once Hawke had repeatedly assured her that he was alright, she explained the purpose of her call for help.

"An alien creation, bearing my presence?"

"Yes."

Jean, Professor X's daughter who was sitting opposite him, responded, "But there seems to be a lingering aura. Dad, do you know what this is?"

Qin then gave a brief description of the five-meter-tall sentinel robot's appearance over the phone.

Hawke frowned and said honestly, "I don't know, but you said this thing has my scent lingering, so I must have come into contact with it somewhere."

The daughter, Qin, spoke with curiosity.

"Is it possible that you and your mother came into contact with it when you traveled through time?" "Possibly."

Hawke gave this answer, and then directly stated what his daughter Jean might not want to hear, or what Professor X might want to hear, but it was definitely the answer that Washington, D.C. would be most happy to hear. He glanced at Wanda, who had already packed her things, and then said directly to his daughter Jean on the other end of the phone, "However, I need to see this thing with my own eyes to be sure. Where are you now?"

The daughter, Qin, opened her mouth.

"right now we……"

"found it."

"what?"

"My mom and I have arrived."

"..."

Before his daughter Jean could react, even Professor X, who was standing to the side, stared wide-eyed at the crimson energy that suddenly seeped into and condensed in the air of the room. He then looked at Hawke and Wanda, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, who emerged from the portal that looked exactly like the Kamar-Taj magic portal but was filled with a crimson aura.

Well known.

Wanda has never been to Kamar-Taj.

But Gwen had been there, and when Gwen went to Kamar-Taj, while Hawke was contemplating his own time in the Vault of Time, Gwen was invited by the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, to view various magical books in the library.

In a sense, Wanda's entry into Hawke's timeline has also completed its own time loop.

and so--

It's perfectly normal for Wanda to use the power of Crimson Chaos to cast spells on Kamar-Taj; there's nothing to be surprised about.

Moreover, Wanda knows not only the magic of Kamar-Taj, but also the dark magic of the Dark Bible.

Hawke put down the phone, glanced at Professor X sitting in the wheelchair, then his pale gaze fell on his daughter who was still holding the phone, and he smiled slightly: "Where is that thing?"

The daughter, Qin, was taken aback at first, then her eyes lit up with surprise, which almost overflowed.

Qin called out "Daddy" as she walked over and hugged Hawke.

At first, she thought that before she left, she and Professor X were at least family.

But as it turns out, even though that's what she thought, after her parents arrived, even though she still considered herself part of Professor X's family, in Professor X's eyes, she was already an outsider.

Now, her real family has arrived.

Qin was naturally very excited.

Professor X, who was standing nearby, naturally sensed the turmoil in Jean's heart. He wanted to say something, but after Hawke arrived and met Hawke's sharp eyes, which seemed as deep as the universe, he couldn't say anything.

However, there was one thing he was certain of.

Hawke is indeed very weak right now, and his power seems to be fluctuating around a certain point. However, even so, the pressure Hawke exerts on him remains strong.

This wasn't from the pressure of energy, but from Hawke's instinct, honed over the years through his swift and decisive actions, to treat any life with indifference.

Professor X subconsciously withdrew his psychic energy to prevent Wanda from mistaking him for something else after he unleashed a psychic attack.

Hawke was very weak at the moment, but Wanda gave her a feeling that was equally powerful.

"Mr. Phoenix."

"Dr. Xavier."

After Hawke released his embrace from his daughter Jean, he glanced at his daughter who was still holding Wanda, then listened to Professor X's voice, looked at Professor X in the wheelchair again, his expression flat, and went straight to the point: "That thing with my aura is over there."

Professor X observed Hawke's expression: "Is that thing from Phoenix?"

Although Hawke just denied it on the phone.

but……

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. As a member of this world, Professor X feels that he has the ability and obligation to protect this world.

Hawke raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, then looked at Professor X with some curiosity, his expression thoughtful: "So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"

Professor X said in a deep voice, "If so, we can return it to its rightful owner, but Mr. Phoenix must guarantee that he leaves our Earth immediately. If not, perhaps Mr. Phoenix can provide us with some useful information."

Hawke and Professor X stared at each other without saying a word.

after awhile.

Hawke chuckled lightly under Professor X's gaze.

"Can I take this as a threat, Professor X?"

"No, I just want a guarantee."

“This may not seem like a threat to you, but it is a threat to me.”

Hawke's smile vanished, and he stared at Professor X expressionlessly: "I never accept threats, but considering that you took care of my daughter before we arrived, I will pardon you this time. But remember, my mercy never gives the same person a second chance."

After all, your name is Charles Xavier, not Mephisto.

Only Old Mo deserves my mercy on several occasions.

Hawke said this, then gave Professor X a deep look, and then, ignoring Professor X, turned to look at Wanda, who had also let go of her hug with her daughter.

"Where is that thing located?"

"At this."

Wanda said something, then pointed her right hand in front of her, and a crimson chaotic aura instantly spread between her fingers. She then drew a portal that led directly to the research lab where the Sentinel robots were located.
