Chapter 534 Using Him to Replace Him

Chapter 534 Using Him to Replace Him (First Update!)

Ajax's expression was serious and earnest.

Hawke's expression also turned serious at that moment because of Ajax's words.

He never expected that the Celestial Group's plan was to eliminate him, but they actually wanted to use him to eliminate him.

What is this called?

Let me kill myself?

But that's not right.

His time and soul had already been gathered together, and he was only half a step away from the ninth sense, so how could the Celestial Gods find another version of him?
Hawke's mind raced, and in order to find out more, he snapped out of his reverie and looked at Ajax.

"Would you mind if I took a look into your memories?"

"Uh……"

Upon hearing this, Ajak was taken aback at first, then nodded: "Of course, but what should I do?"

Hawke smiled.

"Just don't resist."

"Varied……"

As soon as Ajak uttered his words, Hawke entered the former's memory world.

All of a sudden.

Even Hawke, upon entering Ajak's memory world, was almost overwhelmed by the sheer volume of memories that Ajak possessed—memories that were not merely vast, but comparable to the time of the Milky Way.

But he quickly realized what he meant.

Well known.

After each member of the Eternal Race completes a "Divine Manifestation" mission, the Celestials erase that memory from their record.

After all, the Celestials have been deceiving the Eternals, making them believe that the "manifestation of the gods" is a wonderful thing, and even concealing the fact that the "mutant race" was also created by them.

Therefore, in order to maintain the Eternals' loyalty to them, the memories of all Eternals are erased after each mission is completed.

But Ajax was an exception.

After all, during the execution of the "Divine Manifestation" mission, someone needs to ensure that the plan does not deviate from its course due to any unforeseen circumstances.

Ajak, whose memories were not erased, was the one who carried out and ensured that the "divine appearance" would arrive as promised.

and so--

She was not erased from her memories, which is why there are so many memories in her world.

Hawke was not interested in Ajax's vast memories, nor in the mental journey Ajax had gone through to choose to abandon his darkness and embrace the light.

He's only concerned with the version of himself that Ajax was talking about.

therefore!

Hawke's thoughts transformed directly into a fire phoenix with double pupils and burning golden-red flames in the sky above Ajax's memory world.

Under the Phoenix Flame, Ajax's vast memories, as long as the Milky Way itself, evaporated instantly, like an ocean exposed to the sun.

However, this evaporation does not erase Ajax's memories; it is merely a means for Hawke to access Ajax's memories.

soon.

As Hawke absorbed Ajak's memories, he found what he wanted from this vast and smoky sea of memories.

Hawke's mind was absorbed in this memory fragment.

next second.

He then heard a voice in his ear.

“You did a great job, Ajak. You successfully stalled the sinner who was trying to escape time and our continued control.”

"But I still need to do everything I can to stall him for a while longer."

"at all costs."

"Even if it takes your life to hold him back!"

"..."

The moment Hawke looked up, he immediately saw a member of the Celestials standing in front of him, with a six-tube hat on his face and a huge body, like a giant.

obviously.

He had now entered Ajax's memories and adopted Ajax's perspective.

So this is the creator, Sera?

Hawke looked at the six of bamboo in front of him, and while thinking to himself, he also recorded the aura of its creator, Sera.

no way.

In his eyes, almost all the members of the Celestials looked the same, just like how Easterners always think that Westerners are all the same template.

Fortunately, he has a simpler and more efficient memorization technique.

Appearances may be deceiving, but auras are not. Every creature has its own unique aura, so using auras to distinguish them is the best approach.

The most important thing.

For Hawke's enemies, once Hawke has recorded their scent, they can smell the stench emanating from them even from a great distance.

While Hawke was silently recording the aura of the creator, Sera, the latter continued to make grand promises to Ajax.

"You may die."

"but……"

"You will gain unparalleled glory, and then be reborn."

Creator Sera said, "So, Ajak, use every means at all costs to make sure you hold him back."

Hawke listened to Sera's empty promises with indifference.

Reborn and returned?

Do you have that ability?

You who belong to time, do you dare to snatch people from the clutches of death?

Hawke didn't believe it at all.

Not to mention, he currently holds the power of death over Earth in this universe. He can resurrect others without even asking for their consent.
Hawke's thoughts raced, and he ignored Creator Sera's boastful remarks, turning his attention to what was behind Creator Sera.

next second.

He saw the version of himself that Ajax had described.

One glance is all it takes to identify it.

This self...

It really was him, and Hawke even smelled a familiar scent on this version of himself.

This smell——

Universe 616? No, that's not right.

It resembles the 616 universe, but it is not the 616 universe.

The taste is somewhat similar but not quite right.

Parallel universes?
But that's not right. Although there was once a soul belonging to him in Universe 616, it was taken back after he went to Universe 616.

So how could he possibly still be there?

This is not realistic.

Well known.

There is indeed another version of him in Universe 616.

Hawke does not deny this, but after he went to Universe 616, he had already taken back that part of his soul.

In a word.

If his soul is incomplete, he will not be able to enter the gates of the Ninth Sense.

After all, he defined his nine senses as unique.

If you're not unique yourself, then what's the point of talking about being unique?

Therefore, Hawke is very certain about this.

Moreover, with Wanda's help, he completely gathered, repaired, and perfected his timeline.

Even if the Celestials could actually intercept his timeline, find a version of himself in that timeline, and try to use that version of himself against him, he would still be aware of it.

Row.

Even if he doesn't realize it, don't forget that Wanda is also on his timeline, so even if he doesn't realize it, how could Wanda not realize it?

Then the problem is coming.

Where did this thing come from?

Just as Hawke's thoughts were turning, Ajax in this memory fragment also noticed this seemingly similar Hawke.

"God, Hawke isn't with us, so what's behind you?"

"This."

Creator Sera listened to Ajak's question with some displeasure.

After all, for them, the Eternals were merely tools they created to lighten their workload.

As a tool, it only needs to be convenient and obedient; it doesn't need to speak.

but……

Considering the current situation and the time available, the creator Sera answered Ajax's question.

"This is the tool we use to eliminate destabilizing factors."

"Do not."

"To be precise, it is intended to replace him."

"But this perfect tool still needs time to be perfected, so your responsibility is to do everything you can to stall it for as long as possible."

"...Received, sir."

Upon hearing this, Ajak was somewhat puzzled, but he nodded in agreement first, then seemed to have thought of something: "Then, sir... what is this delay?"

Creator Sera shook her head: "I don't know the exact time, but remember, do everything you can to delay it for as long as possible. After all, the universe needs to evolve, and this perfect tool also needs to evolve."

Say it.

Creator Sera simply waved her hand.

"Alright, let's go. Remember, if you complete this task well, I will pardon you for your negligence."

"..."

So far!

The memory of Ajak's conversation with the creator Sera ends here.

After snapping out of his memories of the conversation between Ajak and the creator Sera, Hawke sat on the sofa, frowning in deep thought.

Ajak felt a sudden heat in his mind, followed by a cool sensation, and then a long-lost sense of comfort. He then saw Hawke, who had said he was going to see her just a second ago, and his expression turned thoughtful the next second.

obviously.

In that one second, Hawke had already completed the process of entering and reading his own memories.

and……

In what seemed like a split second, she felt that her vast, complex memories became incredibly clear, even memories from long ago became crystal clear.

really.

He truly deserves to be called a rising male god who can stand up to the gods.

Ajax thought to himself, then looked at Hawke, who was deep in thought on the sofa: "Mr. Phoenix, that...you are you, right?"

Hawke snapped out of his reverie, looked at Ajax, thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, it's me, but it's not me."

Yes.

Just now, for a fleeting moment, he did believe that the version of himself he saw in Ajax's memories was actually himself.

But after he came to his senses, he realized that this was not the case at all.

Simply put, just like the ambiguous 616 universe, that self is also ambiguous.

similar.

But that's not the case!

Even so, he still couldn't understand where the Celestials Group had gotten this ambiguous version of himself from.

And then there's the replacement that the creator Sera just mentioned.
