Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 541 A Body Existing in a Sub-Dimension

Hawke did not take the Eternals' matter to heart.

one more time.

He took over the Eternals for two reasons: first, he had a wicked desire to show the Celestials that Thiam and the Eternals were on his side; second, he needed Ajax as his inside man.

However, since Ajak is the chieftain of the Eternals, the way to win him over is to incorporate the entire Eternals.

So regardless of what the Eternals thought, to Hawke, it was just a small matter.

Hawke soon returned to Kamar-Taj, where he met the librarian, Wang, whom he hadn't seen for a week, in a secret room of the library.

Wang got straight to the point.

Have you ever heard of "dream walking"?

"of course."

Hawke raised his eyebrows.

Dream walking is a way of traveling that allows one to remain in this universe but instantly reach the multiverse.

Hawke had, of course, heard of him.

Moreover, he not only had heard of it, but he even knew how to use dream walking.

Because this was the first method he came up with that would allow him to travel through the multiverse, and the reason he didn't use it was quite simple.

Because dream walking falls under the category of black magic.

This spell is only recorded in the Dark Book.

The most important thing.

Hawke possesses immense strength, all of which originates from himself, but he has no magic.

Not even a tiny bit.

He is not a magician.

He is a Saint Seiya!
"Dream walking is a spell from the Dark Book, right? Besides, I don't have magic, so I can't activate dream walking."

"No, I'm not talking about dream walking."

Wang shook his head, then looked at Hawke: "It's a kind of magic similar to dream walking, where consciousness ascends!"

Hawke heard this.

"Ascending consciousness?"

"Yes, consciousness ascends."

Wang nodded, and then began to explain the magic of "ascending consciousness" to Hawke.

In dreams, a version of yourself that is exactly the same as you but has different experiences is a projection of yourself in the multiverse.

This is the magic recorded in the Dark Book, the theoretical basis for dream walking.

Through dreams, one can connect with their multiverse counterpart and then control that counterpart. As long as another version of oneself exists in that multiverse, one can control one's own body.

Even if you die, it doesn't matter, as long as you haven't completely turned to ashes. Even if you die, you can still control your dead self to crawl out of the grave.

The "consciousness ascending" mentioned by Wang is similar in concept to "dream walking".

The difference is that dream walking connects to the multiverse through dreams, while consciousness ascent connects to oneself in the multiverse through one's own consciousness.

Each version of yourself in a dream can be connected through the dream itself.

natural.

Those who share the same consciousness will be on the same wavelength; simply put, one side uploads and the other side downloads.

Moreover, compared to walking in dreams, ascending consciousness is more concealed and will not touch the barriers and warnings of the 616 universe.

After all, it was only Hawk's consciousness that went there, not Hawk Phoenix, the chief god of the Phoenix universe!
However, there is a problem with this.

After listening to the solutions Wang had come up with over the past five days, Hawke stroked his chin, looked at Wang, and said with a somewhat puzzled expression, "My consciousness is unique."

Yes.

Wang's method of raising awareness was excellent, but it was completely useless to him.

Because he is the only one.

The soul is unique.

Time is unique.

Consciousness is singular.

The Three Ones are one; my heart is the heart of Heaven. This is the Ninth Sense that Hawke sought.

Therefore, there is no alternate version of himself in the main Marvel multiverse. Otherwise, the Celestials wouldn't have gone to such lengths to create a dubious version of himself to replace his plan.

Wang, however, had a serious expression on his face.

"No, Hawke, you are in Universe 616."

"There is a me, a seemingly real but actually fake me."

Hawke nodded and looked at the king: "But if you let me into that guy's body, Your Majesty, I have serious doubts about your stance."

Did it directly lead him to burrow into that ambiguous version of himself, carrying his own consciousness with him?
Good guy.

What's the difference between this and walking right into a trap?

If his physical body goes there, even if it's a trap, there's room for resistance. But if only his consciousness goes there, it's no less than a lamb entering a tiger's den.

Wang shook his head again.

I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about the real you.

"The real me?"

Hawke's teasing smile faded, and he frowned slightly: "I've already recycled the real me; there's no second me in that universe."

Wang smiled and said, "You are indeed gone from the main timeline of Universe 616, but you are in the secondary timeline. At the very least, your body is still there."

Hawke raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "My body?"

"Yes."

"The body in this sub-timeline where Thanos stole the Mind Stone and the soul dissipated."

Well known.

The self in Universe 616 was formed from fragments of the system's soul that fell during its struggle against this universe in order to transport itself here.

However, the 616 universe version of himself did not have a system, so he could only rely on his own efforts to successfully infiltrate Hydra's organization with his sister Anya, becoming Hydra agents. Then, through his own schemes, he successfully seized the Mind Stone and became Vision.

But his fate was exactly the same as Vision's; Thanos also took the Mind Stone from him, leading to his death.

It was at that time that Hawke traveled through time, reclaiming his soul and restoring its completeness. He also took his sister Anya from that universe with him.

As for the sub-dimensional spacetime that Wang mentioned?
“That’s not me, Your Majesty.”

"But the consciousness is the same."

Wang said, "The Celestials want to 'parasitize,' and parasitism requires a soul. Therefore, they need to reenact and evolve the main timeline of Universe 616 to extract a part of your soul from the past. However, they overlooked a key point: the sub-timeline version of you, although your soul is not yours, has the same consciousness as you."

The primary and secondary timelines are simply different in terms of souls and timelines.

But regardless of whether it's the main timeline or the secondary timeline, the people in them all have the same consciousness.

Simply put.

The Hawk from the next timeline, aside from not being Hawk's soul, had the same memories as Hawk, knew he was a time traveler, and didn't have a system of his own.

Hawke understood what the king meant.

"You mean, my body in the 616th timeline hasn't been destroyed yet?"

"Yes."

Wang nodded: "I contacted my counterpart in that timeline. After the Thanos crisis broke out there, Iron Man Tony Stark snapped his fingers and saved the entire universe. S.H.I.E.L.D. disbanded and was replaced by an organization called S.O.W.R.D. And your body in that timeline was kept by S.O.W.R.D."

Hawke chuckled: "Guardian, don't put it so nicely, they'll be studying you, won't they?"

Wang shrugged: "They're probably quite curious about how you fused with the Mind Stone."

Hawke shook his head and smiled: "These people always like to study powers that they can't control at all."

Who knows how the 616 Universe itself merged with the Mind Stone?

Even he himself didn't know that at the moment he touched the Mind Stone, just as he was about to be melted, Wanda appeared and helped him merge with the Mind Stone.

After all, Wanda symbolizes the most impossible possibility, which means that anything is possible.

Hawke's thoughts raced, then he frowned.

"But I need to go to the timeline where the Celestials reside. What would I do in that timeline?"

"That spacetime is sealed off, and there's no way to enter directly. Moreover, if it's really as you say, and Stephen from that spacetime chose the Celestials, he'll notice you if you're not careful. You don't know Stephen; he's incredibly cunning."

In his private library room, Wang finally couldn't help but complain about Stephen.

As for how to get to the spacetime where the Celestials are located after going through one spacetime?

"Inter-universe travel is very rare."

"But communication between time and space is not uncommon."

Wang said this, then looked at Hawke: "As far as I know, in Universe 616, no matter which timeline, the Lord of Hell is the same person."

Hawke's heart skipped a beat when he heard this: "You mean Old Mo?"

Wang said seriously, "If the 'Old Mo' you're referring to is Mephisto, then yes, it is Mephisto."

Hawke frowned: "It's not that I haven't seen Mephisto from other universes, but the only one I admire and like is the one from our universe."

After all, the Mexicans are indeed of a stubborn and unruly nature.

The Mephistos of this universe were all trained by him over a long period of time. Moreover, the reason why the current Mephisto is no longer unruly is not because he has reformed, but entirely because he has been repeatedly beaten into submission by him. That is why he now appears to be in a state of indifference and nonchalance.

But this is only Mephisto in this universe.

As for other universes?
Just like Mephisto in the mutant universe, tsk tsk, just as unruly and incompetent, he has no interest in spending time training a second Mephisto who suits his taste.

Wang responded, "I didn't let you deal with him. You forgot, you also possess the Hell Dimension. You should know how to travel to other dimensions through the Hell Dimension."

Upon hearing this, Hawke instinctively looked at Wang.

"The Hell Passage?"

"Yes."

"hiss!"

Hawke gasped instinctively upon hearing the solution Wang offered, then stroked his chin: "If I go over there, what will happen to my power?"

Wang smiled and said, "With your power, can't you now arrive in an instant?"

Hawke laughed heartily.

Yes!

He now possesses the mutant universe, and his power already has a real-world anchor.

Thanks to the Celestials.

His power can now be projected into any multiverse he desires without any delay.

and so--
