Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 516 Hawke Fishing

Hawke wasn't the only one curious about this question.

same.

Wanda was also very curious about Professor X's stance.

Previously, because her daughter had been safe and sound under Professor X's protection, she hadn't asked about Professor X's stance, even though she was curious about it.

After all, this question is somewhat impolite.

As for now.

Professor X's goodwill towards him had been completely exhausted the moment he arrived at the door and knocked.

Again.

If it were anyone else, and they came to their door asking them to repay evil with kindness, not to mention Hawke, even Wanda would have thrown that person away on the spot.

That is, Professor X.

Well known.

Hawke repays kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge.

That's the family tradition of the Phoenix family.

Therefore, once her affections were exhausted, Wanda naturally wouldn't care about Professor X's dignity anymore.

After all, it was he who abandoned dignity first.

You are a human being.

They still stand with the mutants.

Professor X's expression changed slightly when he heard Wanda's blatant question, and he looked at Wanda.

"Mrs. Phoenix, my stance has always been one of peace."

“Whose peace?”

"Human?"

"Do not."

Professor X said with a serious expression: "Whether it is humans or mutants, I have always pursued the idea of peaceful coexistence between the two."

Wanda smiled.

"Are you sure? After all, before this, when the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau was hunting down mutants all over the world, you didn't stand up to stop them."

"It's him, though."

Wanda glanced at Magneto standing to the side before continuing to look at Professor X: "Every time he tries to use violence to achieve peace among you mutants, you always show up and help humanity stop him."

Professor X's expression remained unchanged.

"Because violence cannot bring peace, Mrs. Phoenix."

"Violence cannot buy peace?"

Wanda smiled slightly as she listened to Professor X's words: "So you want to learn from Gandhi, nonviolent non-cooperation, and wait for them to slaughter mutants until they are exhausted, hoping that they will stop when they are exhausted? To be honest, I am very curious, Professor X, besides fighting for the so-called mutant peace treaty with humans, what other substantial efforts have you made for the situation of mutants, besides stopping Magneto and the Black King back then?"

Professor X, upon hearing this, said, "Gandhi was a hero."

Yes.

Regardless of how Gandhi is viewed in Eastern cultures, he is a hero in Western cultures.

His nonviolent non-cooperation, in particular, is highly regarded.

It's possible that the West thought that by elevating Gandhi, who advocated nonviolent non-cooperation, to a pedestal, they could accelerate their colonization efforts.

After all, it's just a matter of not cooperating; it won't stop them from colonizing.

But when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Originally hoping to convince others of this viewpoint, it turned out that even its own people believed in this theory.

Just like Professor X right now.

"Your hero is my loathing."

“Gandhi is not a hero to me.”

"But there's no denying that you are a good person."

"That's why you can still speak now."

Wanda shook her head, gave a somewhat listless smile, and then looked at Professor X: "But next time, you won't be so lucky if you dare to show your face in front of me again. If you don't want this world to be completely destroyed by us, then get out!"

After saying this, Wanda ended her conversation with Professor X, raised her right hand, and slammed the door shut.

A thud.

Professor X, sitting in his wheelchair, stared silently at the closed door.

Magneto, standing to the side, glanced at the closed door, then looked away and said to Professor X, "Not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am, Charles."

Professor X looked up at Magneto.

"Washington cannot be in chaos. If Washington is in chaos, the Union will be in chaos, and if the Union is in chaos, the world will be in chaos."

"I see that everything is fine now."

Magneto listened to Professor X's theory again, his expression somewhat suspicious: "Many people have died in Washington these days, but those who are supposed to be here are still here. I don't have a feeling that the world is about to descend into chaos."

At this point, he couldn't help but recall the words his friend had used to stop him.

That's the gist of it.

This convinced him that the chaotic Federation would not change the mutants' situation, and that after the threat of force, the Federation would reconsider its relationship with the mutants.

Magneto naively believed it.

The results of it?
Washington continues to act as it pleases, refusing to change its ways despite repeated admonitions.

Professor X shook his head and said, "It took humans many years to learn to stand and walk; they just need more time."

Magneto nodded: "So how many more lives of our own people do we need to sacrifice before they learn to think about how to live peacefully with us?"

Professor X remained silent.

Magneto continued, "Or are you saying, as you just told Wanda, that your stance has always been that of humans, and never of us mutants?"

Upon hearing this, Professor X looked directly at Magneto.

"In my mind, humans and mutants are the same."

"But what you did was indeed from a human perspective. I tried to fight for my rights, and you came out to stop it. Humans slaughtered mutants, and you turned a blind eye."

Magneto laughed, and after saying this to Professor X, he withdrew his gaze: "I'm not going to get involved in this matter anymore, and as you've seen, I can't control it either. I'm leaving, Charles. I advise you to go back. Perhaps this time, you, the human who said you need time to think about this problem, will really learn to think about how to get along with us."

Say it.

Magneto ignored Professor X and left Palm Street, disappearing from Professor X's sight.

Professor X, having withdrawn his gaze, turned back to look at the closed door. Now, two choices lay before him.

Go back and ignore it.

Let's continue, and gamble with the entire planet once more.

When presented with the choice between mutants and humans, he is able to choose humans.

But when Professor X was presented with a choice between Washington and Earth, he hesitated.

at this time.

Professor X suddenly thought of Hawke.

He recalled something Qin had just said: because of Washington's scheme, Hawke was now on the verge of life and death, and it was uncertain whether he would ever wake up.

On the edge of life and death?

He is familiar with this.

He had recently experienced being instantly killed by the Sentinel robot upon activation, and he had indeed briefly crossed the line between life and death.

and so--

If I can wake Hawke up, then can I persuade them to change their minds?

Professor X had an idea when he thought of this, and then he did it without hesitation. After returning to X Academy, he went to the underground space of X Academy, put on the brainwave amplification device, and closed his eyes.

All of a sudden.

His mind instantly focused on Palm Street, where he saw Jean and Wanda, and then Hawke meditating under the sycamore tree.

Without hesitation, Professor X focused his mind directly into Hawk's mind, attempting to awaken Hawk and thus prevent Wanda's unprecedented retaliation that would be imminent in twenty-four hours.

A hissing sound.

Professor X felt a blur before his eyes, and then he found himself seemingly in a universe.

The starry sea is boundless.

The universe is vast.

The phoenixes cried out in waves.

Professor X stared wide-eyed at the dazzling starry sky filled with golden-red light, somewhat incredulous.

After all, the world of life and death he had experienced was not exactly the same as this place; it was completely different.

For a moment, Professor X even wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

But soon.

Professor X discovered Hawke.

into the eye.

At the heart of this cosmic sea, Hawke, sitting cross-legged as if at the heart of a phoenix, instantly came into Professor X's view.

Professor X's eyes lit up. Before he could even think about how to get there, he felt as if he had already stepped onto this green lawn and was already seeing Hawke meditating under the sycamore tree not far away.

He walked over.

"Hook Phoenix".

"..."

Hawke, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes upon hearing the sound and looked at Professor X standing in front of him, without any surprise in his eyes.

"Professor X."

"Mr. Phoenix."

Professor X looked at Hawke, who had opened his eyes, and said directly, "I'm here to rescue you."

Hawke raised his eyebrows.

"help me?"

"Yes, you are on the verge of life and death. Follow me and you can leave here."

"Follow you?"

Hawke got up from under the sycamore tree and stretched under Professor X's gaze.

All of a sudden.

The universe is destroyed.

The starry sky collapsed.

Everything Professor X saw was collapsing at a visible speed, eventually turning the universe into two singularities emitting golden-red flames. Then, under Professor X's gaze, they overlapped with Hawke's eyes, giving Hawke's pupils a double pupil appearance.

"This……"

"I wanted to go out, so I went out early this morning."

Hawke looked at the shocked Professor X and smiled slightly.

Professor X looked at Hawke upon hearing this.

"then you……"

"Let's see if my enemy will personally intervene."

Hawke said calmly.

He was referring to members of the Celestials.

After all, the one that went down before was just Icarus of the Eternals, a weapon created by the Celestials.

However, the members of the Celestials did not participate.

Hawke had originally thought that if he were to find himself on the brink of life and death this time, the members of the Celestials would intervene.

So after retracing his steps, he didn't rush out, but instead continued to wait there.
