Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 526 Hawke Becomes a Lonely Man (First Update!)

The boundless universe.

The vast starry sea.

The universe is still the same universe, but it is a brand new universe with an infinite future.

same!

The Earth is still the same Earth, but it is no longer the Earth it used to be.

However, one thing remains the same.

That is--

Mutants and humans still coexist on this blue planet, and they will never be able to live in peace.

because!

"Vibrant flowers cannot be grown in a greenhouse."

Professor X pondered those words, turned to look at the mutants scattered across the Xavier's Lawn behind him, then turned his gaze back to Hawke, who was admiring the swans in the Xavier's Lake: "So, the peaceful coexistence I seek will never come?"

His lifelong pursuit was to achieve peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants, to stop humans from hating mutants, and similarly, to stop mutants from hating humans.

Professor X has been dedicated to this.

He believes that with his own efforts, he will be able to achieve this one day.

But the result told him that it was impossible to do so.

To be precise, this is something beyond human capability.

Because what pits mutants against humans is not the two beings themselves, but a higher level of will.

The universe needs to evolve, so it needs to see mutants and humans in opposition to each other.

This……

Professor X was somewhat speechless; even after returning from space, he still couldn't describe the feelings this event had brought him.

Upon hearing this, Hawke turned his gaze away from the graceful swans in the lake, looked at Professor X, and smiled slightly: "Yes, there is opposition, but it is just a struggle, not a breakdown. If it is a struggle without a breakdown, you might as well try to push forward your Mutant Peace Act."

Professor X glanced at Hawke instinctively.

Jean, standing to the side, looked at Professor X: "Professor, humans are also fighting each other, which is inevitable. Similarly, the future struggle between mutants and humans will only take place within this framework, and the crisis of world destruction will never occur."

This was an idea her mother changed on the spur of the moment when she saw her, and she asked the Ancient One, the goddess of time, to weave the timeline according to this framework.

The battle between mutants and humans will continue, but the kind of apocalyptic crisis caused by their conflict will never happen again.

At the very least, in this timeline woven by the Ancient One, the goddess of time, there will be no more stories of Wolverine reversing time.

Moreover, even if he wanted to reverse time, it would be impossible for him.

The reason is simple.

The God of Order, Thiam, is watching the timeline. The moment Wolverine enters a timeline, he will be arrested by Thiam for attempting to disrupt the timeline's destiny.

Professor X listened to Jean's explanation, nodded thoughtfully, and then smiled with relief: "That's right, there is struggle everywhere. As long as there are people, there will be struggle. It's unavoidable. However, I will still try my best to make mutants and humans coexist peacefully."

Qin had no doubt about Professor X's words.

After her father Hawke's in-depth analysis of Professor X, Jean now understands that Professor X is neither on the side of humans nor on the side of mutants.

Professor X has always been an idealist.

Although she understands Professor X, Jean doesn't intend to be the same as before.

Because her father, Hawke, said something else.

We need to respect idealists while keeping our distance from them, because such people, for the sake of their ideals, will not value their own lives, nor will they value anyone else's.

and so--

Jean's gaze toward Professor X was no longer warm, but also no longer cold; instead, it carried a calmness: "Goodbye, Professor."

Goodbye, Qin!

Professor X, sitting in his wheelchair, met Jean's gaze and spoke in a calm tone.

Qin then turned around and returned to her parents' side.

Wanda, who was standing to the side, caught a glimpse of the mutant wearing an eyepatch in the distance out of the corner of her eye, then turned to Jean who had walked up to her: "Aren't you going to say hello to them?"

When this universe was replayed, it wasn't just Professor X who was singled out by Hawke to prevent him from being destroyed; the surviving X-Men also avoided being replayed.

For example, Storm, Cyclops, and others.

Jean shook her head as she listened to Wanda's words.

"No, Mom, it's not necessary."

"Really? Well, you'd better not regret it."

"..."

Hearing the hint of teasing in Wanda's words, Jean couldn't help but roll her eyes at Wanda: "If I wanted to, would you agree?"

Wanda shrugged: "I support whatever decision you make, but I don't know about your father."

As Wanda spoke, she turned her gaze to Hawke beside her.

The daughter, Qin, couldn't help but turn her gaze to Hawke.

Hawke was taken aback at first, and just as he was about to say something, he shook his head and smiled: "Don't look at me. Your mother has already revoked my right to educate and manage you. So, ask your mother about your affairs. Don't ask me. Our family practices a female-dominated system, not a male-dominated system."

Saint Seiya will not fall into the same pit twice.

Hawke will not be tricked by Wanda a second time.

The most important thing.

He refused to believe that Wanda could stand by and watch their daughter be kidnapped by a guy with glowing eyes.

That's what Hawke thought.

result……

Wanda shrugged, her expression calm: "I have no objection."

The daughter, Qin, was taken aback at first, then her expression began to change.

Just then, Hawke, realizing what was happening, quickly said, "Wait a minute."

Qin's expression froze as she looked at her father, who had interrupted her before she could even speak: "Dad, didn't you say it was fine as long as Mom didn't object?"

Wanda looked at Hawke with a half-smile.

Hawke coughed and explained to his daughter, "I wanted to talk to your mother about something else," before pulling Wanda aside.

Wanda crossed her arms, waiting for Hawke to speak.

Hawke met Wanda's ambiguous gaze, his thoughts racing, and coughed again before lowering his voice.

"what do you think?"

"what?"

"I mean, are you serious?"

"I have the right to educate and manage my children, that's what you just said, right?"

"I know."

Hawke nodded, not giving Wanda any chance to dig a hole: "I'm just having a rational discussion with you about this issue. After all, I think we can't be too careless about this kind of thing, and we should be more cautious."

Wanda looked at Hawke, who was looking very serious, and nodded thoughtfully.

"So you also think that we were too careless and too imprudent back then."

“…It’s over!”

Upon hearing Wanda's words, Hawke's face darkened, realizing he had fallen into a trap.

next second.

Before Wanda could say another word, he looked at her again with a serious and earnest expression: "You can make the decisions about things at home. Just pretend I don't exist."

Wanda was delighted.

"You no longer feel the need to be cautious?"

"unnecessary."

"Then just make your daughter happy?"

"You decide."

Hawke's expression turned serious, and he stopped dwelling on the topic.

no way.

The moment he opened his mouth, Wanda launched a deadly attack, leaving him no chance to respond. It was clear she didn't want him involved in the matter.

and so--

Forget it.

Let her be.

My daughter is growing up, and she'll eventually have to find someone with blond hair. To be honest, compared to that wild Wolverine, Cyclops looks like a refined gentleman, so if you think about it carefully, it's acceptable.

Hawke comforted himself with this thought.

next second.

He glanced at Wanda, decisively changed the subject, and shook his head with a smile: "So, you mean I have to go back alone?"

Because he has successfully plundered this universe, if he wants to return to the main universe, he can only go back alone.

This is what is meant by plans being no match for changes.

From the beginning, his plan was to find his daughter with Wanda and then the three of them would go back together.

After Wanda entered his timeline, the plan was changed to him going home with his daughter.

Because at the moment Wanda entered his timeline, the real Wanda was already in 828, the universe where the Fantastic Four reside.

But after this universe came into his possession, things took a subtle turn.

Her daughter, Qin, can never go back.

To be precise, the daughter has already returned home, so where else does she need to go?

After all, this universe is already part of the Phoenix universe. The daughter has already returned home, so where else does she need to go?

Wanda, in particular, is encouraging her daughter to find a boyfriend.

"What about Billy and Tommy at home?"

Hawke thought of the two little ones in Westview Town and looked at Wanda curiously: "Should I bring them to you?"

Upon hearing this, Wanda's expression instantly turned to extreme surprise, and she looked at Hawke with an incredulous gaze.

next second.

Wanda exclaimed in shock, then clicked her tongue at Hawke and said, "Goodness, you really don't want to take care of your sons at all."

Hawke felt a little uneasy under Wanda's gaze: "Didn't you say that I was stripped of my educational and management authority? And, aren't I asking you what I should do if you say so?"

Wanda couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Take good care of Billy and Tommy."

"Row!"

"Then pick me up and take me home early."

Wanda said this, then thought for a moment and shook her head at Hawke, saying, "Forget it, you shouldn't take care of Billy and Tommy. Take care of yourself. I'm worried about you taking care of them. My parents and Pietro are at home. Just pick me up and come back soon."

Hawke nodded upon hearing this.

"I need to take out that escaped member of the Celestials group first."

Do you know where he ran off to?

"understood."

Hawke replied, "Only by killing him can I clear my mind and then go to Universe 828 to bring you home!"
