Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

The current 616 universe is a trap.

Regardless of whether Hawke accepts the surrender of Universe 616, it is certain that Universe 616 is a trap specifically set for him.

The analyst Nezel's constant escape from the multiverse is a way to attract his attention, thus buying time for the creator, Sera, to complete his plan against him.

Replacement plan.

He uses a dubious Hawke to replace the real him.

good idea.

only--

Hawke still couldn't understand how the creator, Sera, intended to replace his real self with a fake version of himself.

The most important thing.

He currently has no information to analyze.

wrong.

It's not that there's absolutely no information.

Because at the beginning, he planned to wait for the Analyst Nezel to tire of his escape and then, when he was dealing with the Analyst Nezel in the past, his six senses alerted him, thus allowing him to learn of the existence of the Creator Sera through the Eternal Clan's patriarch.

After a dialogue with the consciousness of this universe, he learned that the 616 universe itself had also joined the fray, choosing to collude with the Celestials.

The reason for the fate of Universe 616 is also quite abstract; it's simply that its appearance disrupted the timelines of the primary and secondary spacetimes of Universe 616.

Please.

Is this something big?

If you don't want the trouble of rewriting a completely new timeline, you can just replace the parallel universe without me with the main timeline.

She held a grudge against him for this, and thus wagered her entire universe.

What kind of situation is this?

Far away.

Anyway!

When Hawke was unaware of the 616 universe and its creator, Sera, his six senses were warning him.

However, after learning of their existence and understanding of their secret plots, the warnings from the six senses disappeared.

Hawke has always had great faith in his sixth sense.

Therefore, after the warnings from his six senses disappeared, he had ample time to gather more information.

The era of barbaric warfare is long gone.

The current war is essentially an information war; whoever controls more information will have the advantage.

Therefore, he needs more information.

So Hawke once again sought out Ajak, the chieftain of the Eternals.

Hawke got straight to the point.

"You know that Cersei has already sided with me, don't you?"

"know."

Ajak was taken aback when Hawke appeared beside him amidst a loud bang as he was strolling on the farm. After hearing Hawke's words, he realized what was happening.

Hawke smiled.

"As a reward for her loyalty to me, she will no longer be troubled by the Eternal Demonic Poison."

"Thank you!"

Ajax already knew about this from Cersei, so he wasn't surprised: "The Eternal Demon Syndrome is actually a means for the Celestials to control us."

When a member of the Eternals contracts the Eternal Demon Syndrome, it's like a machine reaching its end of its life for the Celestials.

They will not choose to repair the machine; they will only choose to scrap it.

Ajak's memories were not simply and brutally erased. Especially recently, her memory world had undergone the baptism of the Phoenix Fire, so she clearly remembered those Eternal Clan members who disappeared due to the Eternal Demon Syndrome during these endless years.

Hawke said calmly.

"I can free the Eternals from the torment of the Eternal Demonic Disease."

"……what?"

Ajax looked up at Hawke.

Hawke smiled slightly: "I can accept all the Eternals, freeing you from the Eternal Demon Syndrome, and at the same time, freeing you from the clutches of the Celestials."

Upon hearing this, Ajax was deeply moved.

After hearing from Cersei that Hawke had already taken her under his wing, she actually had the idea of ​​having Hawke take them all under his wing.

After all, the Celestials are no good. In their eyes, they were never independent individuals, but rather tools created to serve them.

But Ajax knew very well that receiving Hawke's pardon was already a blessing.

As for incorporation?

Hawke can mention it, but they can't, and they don't even dare to think about it.

What's the result now?

Ajax was also stirred, but he quickly calmed down and looked at Hawke again.

"What do we need to give up?"

"loyalty."

Hawke smiled slightly: "My requirement for friends is openness, and my requirement for subordinates is loyalty, absolute loyalty."

Because if loyalty is not absolute, then it is absolutely disloyal.

Once unfaithful, always unfaithful.

Nothing more than that.

Ajak nodded and looked at Hawke: "Do you believe in mere verbal loyalty?"

Hawke smiled.

"I don't believe others, but I believe you."

"Can I ask why?"

"Actually, I trust you completely now. Do you know why?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ajak was taken aback at first, then his thoughts raced: "Is it related to when you entered my memory world?"

Hawke smiled broadly: "You are indeed a smart person, and I really enjoy dealing with smart people."

When he entered Ajax's world of memories to witness the latter's conversation with his creator, Sera, he ignited the Phoenix Flame. The Phoenix Flame not only allowed him to absorb Ajax's memories, but it also incinerated a large amount of useless data generated by Ajax's already somewhat chaotic and vast memories.

But the Phoenix Flame still exists in Ajax's world of memories.

That's why Hawke was so certain that Ajax wouldn't lie to him.

Because if Ajax lies to him, the Phoenix Flame remaining in Ajax's memory world will be rekindled.

"But this was not something I did intentionally."

"The Celestials are indeed scoundrels. Even though I used the Phoenix Flame to erase a large amount of useless data from your memory world, this kind of data is still being generated continuously."

Hawke's expression was quite natural: "Only with my Phoenix Flame remaining constant can I ensure that no more garbage is generated in your world of memories."

Simply put, the Eternals are missing a component.

His Phoenix Fire filled the missing part, enabling the Eternals to function and eliminating the worry of them breaking down over time.

But everything has two sides.

Hawk's phoenix fire ensures their eternal operation, and similarly, it ensures their loyalty to him.

But from another perspective...

Trading loyalty for a perpetual opportunity is actually a very worthwhile deal.

That's exactly what Ajax thought.

After hearing Hawke's explanation, she replied simply, "Then, Lord God, what can I do for you?"

Upon hearing this, Hawke looked at Ajax.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Yes."

Ajak nodded, also frankly: "I didn't see the look of someone looking at tools in your eyes, and that's enough for us."

Hawke chuckled, "Do your other tribesmen think the same way?"

Ajak's expression was serious: "I will ensure that the Eternals are always loyal to you and carry out any of your orders. If any member of the race is disloyal, I will ensure that he receives the punishment he deserves without your intervention."

Hawke smiled.

He suddenly felt a strong sense of anticipation for the expressions on the faces of the gods when they saw that their member Thiam, as well as their tool, the Eternals, had been taken under his control.

That expression must have been priceless.

But that's a matter for the future.

As for now?

“Since Creator Sera has instructed you to hold me back, then hold me back.”

"Uh……"

"Keep reporting to him once a week and try to figure out the so-called replacement plan."

Since the creator, Sera, wanted to use Ajak to restrain him.

He then turned the tables, making Ajax his inside man so that he could figure out what this so-called replacement plan was all about.

war!

Using military strategy is normal, but when it comes to applying it, Hawke is the real expert.

In a word.

Hawke wouldn't even glance at the Feast at Hongmen, which Westerners consider a miracle.

Ajax listened to Hawke's request without any hesitation.

“I understand, Lord God.”

"very good."

Hawke smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Now you can tell your people who are willing to pledge allegiance to me to come to you."

Ajak's expression was full of gratitude.

"Thank you Lord God."

"You're welcome. I give you true eternity, and you give me eternal loyalty."

Hawke said this, then turned and disappeared from Ajax's sight.

Ajax only withdrew his gaze after Hawke's figure disappeared and the resulting spatial ripples subsided.

next second.

She looked at the wooden house in the distance, and the moment she took her right step, she no longer walked like an ordinary person for so many years. Instead, she appeared directly in front of the wooden house. After entering the house, she found the communicator in the storage room that had been sealed away since she settled here and was used to contact her tribe.

She has found a new path for the Eternals, and what needs to be done next is to walk firmly on this new path.

and!

They still need to demonstrate their value on this new path.

Ajak could sense that loyalty was merely the foundation, while ability was the key to how brilliant the future of their Eternals would be.

The bright future begins with uncovering the secret schemes of Sera, the creator of the new supreme god Hawk Phoenix.

As for Hawke?

After giving his instructions to Ajak, he did not go home, but instead went to Kamar-Taj in the snowy mountains.

As soon as Hawke appeared, Wang, the librarian whom he hadn't seen in a long time, hurriedly came out to greet him.

“Phineas…”

“Your Majesty, you can call me Hawk.”

Hawke patiently corrected the king on how he addressed him once again, and upon entering the reception room, he said directly, "Where is Stephen?"

"New York Temple"

"He's a Sorcerer Supreme, why doesn't he stay in Kamar-Taj, why does he always like to squat in the New York Temple?"

Hawke shook his head and looked at Wang: "Since you want to stay in the New York Temple so much, why not make him step down and give way to a more capable person? I think you would be a good new Sorcerer Supreme."

Wang didn't speak, but just smiled faintly.

Seeing this, Hawke didn't make any more jokes.

How could he not know that Doctor Strange spends his years in the New York Sanctum?

and so--

He came here to see Wang, the librarian of Kamar-Taj.
