Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 548 Schrödinger's Strong Hawk

The mountain silhouettes are bathed in an everlasting amber glow under the setting sun.

The stone path underfoot was spotless.

A seemingly peaceful wooden cabin sits at the end of the path.

Dense forest.

The tree is laden with fruit.

Anyone who comes here will feel like they've found a paradise on earth.

only--

It's all an illusion.

Hawke looked at the quiet and beautiful, almost unreal scene before him, then glanced at Wanda beside him: "In front of me, there's no need for pretense, is there?"

Upon hearing this, Wanda glanced at Hawke, smiled slightly, raised her right hand, and gently stroked the picturesque scenery before her.

next moment.

The sky, which seemed to have been dyed amber, transformed into a sky filled with ashes, resembling a hellish landscape.

The pristine path has been transformed into a scorched, blackened wasteland.

The dense forest was transformed into a scene resembling the aftermath of a massive fire.

Even the air was no longer filled with the magical fragrance of flowers; instead, it was filled with dust, ash, and the smell of sulfur that seemed to be straight out of hell.

This is the true environment in which Wanda lives today.

It is not a paradise, but a place that has fallen into self-destruction and self-exile.

Step into the wooden house.

Hawke's gaze immediately fell on a photocopy of a mysterious book.

The Dark Book.

The Dark Book was copied by the witch Agatha Christie from the real Dark Book.

In this universe, Hawke directly found Agatha Christie and obtained the book from her.

But here, it is after the story of Westview that Wanda finds it in the basement of the witch Agatha, where she sees the dark magic of "dreamwalking," which gives her the idea of traveling to the multiverse.

Initially, Wanda's purpose in traveling to the multiverse was not Billy and Tommy.

"You want to find me."

"Correct."

Wanda looked at Hawke, who was clutching a copy of the Dark Book: "The multiverse is different in every dimension. In this dimension, I lost you, but I believe that you exist in other dimensions."

Hawke replied calmly, “But the me in other timelines is not me.”

one more time.

The self in the main and secondary timelines of the 616 universe is him because a part of his soul fell here at that time, therefore the self here can be him.

However, apart from the main timeline and this secondary timeline, in other timelines, even if he still exists, he is no longer himself.

Simply put.

They just share the same name; apart from their names and appearances being almost identical, they have nothing in common.

really.

"They look like you, but they are not you."

Wanda nodded, recalling the Hawks she had found through dream travel, shook her head, and then looked at Hawk: "It was around that time that I thought of the multiverse."

Hawke raised his eyebrows.

"So, you want America Chaviz because you want her ability to travel through the multiverse?"

"of course."

Wanda smiled brightly: "I can travel through multiple dimensions using dreams, but I can't travel through the multiverse. Only America Chavez, who can freely travel through the multiverse, has the ability to help me go to the multiverse to find you."

Hawke frowned.

"So they thought..."

"You forgot? You said this was your biggest secret, and you would only tell me at the end of the story."

"..."

Hawke recalled that during his fusion with the Mind Stone in this universe, he was able to succeed thanks to Wanda's help, but Wanda also saw the depths of his soul, which made her realize that her soul did not come from this universe.

He initially thought Wanda was asking about Earth, the Earth he came from.

Wanda mistakenly thought he was referring to the multiverse.

Ok.

This could be considered a bit of a lucky accident.

Hawke thought to himself, shook his head, and then looked at Wanda again.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"not late."

Wanda shook her head, looking at Hawke with a smile: "It's always good to be able to go home."

Hawke smiled.

Wanda smiled too.

the next day.

After waking up, Wanda's complexion was quite rosy, and her eyes were exceptionally bright the moment she opened them. She stared at the empty bed beside her, momentarily stunned and somewhat dazed, thinking that everything yesterday was just a dream.

But soon.

Wanda blinked as she felt the changes in her body, smiled slightly, threw off the covers, wrapped herself in a pure white nightgown, and walked out of the cabin. She then saw Hawke standing shirtless in front of a charred, withered tree. Even though his face was pale, his fists were weak, and his steps were unsteady, he was still practicing his boxing.

"Hi!"

"Hi."

Hawke listened to Wanda's voice, and during a break from his boxing, he turned to Wanda, who was standing in front of the cabin, and smiled slightly: "Awake?"

Wanda hummed in agreement, then, still wrapped in her pajamas, sat down on the steps in front of the cabin. Resting her chin on her hands, she looked at the sandbag swaying back and forth on the dead tree, being hit by Hawke, and suddenly asked curiously, "Where did you find that sandbag?"

Hawke smiled slightly, and with his final ten thousand punches, he sent the sandbag flying off the withered tree.

The sandbags soared into the air, instantly transforming into specks of light that perfectly blended with the surrounding space.

Wanda raised an eyebrow.

"Reality Gem".

"clever."

"But the Reality Stone has been destroyed." "Yes."

Hawke nodded, his chest rising and falling slightly, and walked toward Wanda, who was sitting on the steps: "It's just from this time and space."

do not forget.

The Infinity Stones exist in most of the main multiverse and spacetime.

Aside from the fact that in one particular timeline the Infinity Stones are used to play pinball, in many universes, their power remains limitless.

However, as long as the Infinity Stones of this universe still exist, the Infinity Stones of another universe would be nothing more than broken stones even if they came to this universe.

However, since the Infinity Stones in this timeline are gone, Hawke's Infinity Stones can still play their proper role.

Actually, it's not possible without experiencing the mutant universe.

But once again.

Possession of the mutant universe has given him the power to anchor in the main multiverse, allowing his power to traverse the multiverse freely.

and so--

"Reality Gem".

"The Mind Gem."

"Space Stone".

"Power Gem".

Hawke conjured two cups of coffee out of thin air, handed one to Wanda, took a sip, and looked at her: "So, the Sorcerer Supreme was right after all. The real me is indeed terrifyingly strong."

Wanda took the coffee Hawk handed her, took a sip, and looked at Hawk with a smile in her beautiful eyes.

"Terrifyingly strong? Really? Do you need to recall what happened at 4:30 in the morning?"

The past cannot be retrieved.

Hawke met Wanda's smiling eyes and quickly changed the subject: "We should look forward."

Can't blame him.

He is indeed terrifyingly strong, but his body doesn't allow him to be that strong.

Again.

He had only just arrived here, and his body and soul hadn't even been properly synchronized before Wanda dragged him into her room yesterday.

Eight times.

Eight times in total, and eight times without any saliva allowed.

During the three-minute break between the seventh and eighth times, Hawke suddenly realized something.

Wanda just wanted a child, not his kidneys.

Just give it to her.

At that moment, Hawke truly felt that a woman's ability to get pregnant was actually a blessing for a man.

after all!

The wife is pregnant, and the husband is celebrating the Chinese New Year.

Wanda smiled slightly at Hawke, whose expression was serious but whose face showed guilt and evasiveness. Satisfying Hawke's pride, she changed the subject and focused her gaze on the apocalyptic scene before her: "You're right, this place is indeed not very nice. Perhaps you can use your Reality Stone to modify it."

Hawke shook his head.

"No."

"why."

"Using some tricks is fine, but if you try to alter reality, someone will find out."

Hawke smiled at Wanda, who looked on with curiosity: "Right now, I don't want them to know that I've arrived here."

Although he can use the Reality Stone in this timeline.

However, this is limited to minor, harmless modifications. If it involves real-world alterations, this universe will detect them.

After all, the Infinity Stones are no longer in this timeline, but now there are sudden energy fluctuations from the Infinity Stones. Anyone who isn't a fool would sense that something is wrong.

"Who?"

"God Group."

"The Celestials... Group?"

Wanda frowned slightly, then recalled a passage from the Dark Book and looked at Hawke: "The Celestials, eternally created by the five supreme creator gods of the universe?"

Hawke nodded. "They're plotting something against me, so I wanted to see what tricks they were up to."

Upon hearing this, Wanda's expression suddenly became clear.

"So...you didn't come back for me?"

"That wasn't the case at the beginning."

"..."

Wanda raised her eyebrows because of Hawke's answer.

Hawke and Wanda looked at each other without flinching: "But at that time, I didn't know I was here. After I found out about you, I came without hesitation."

Even omitting his initial hesitation to his eventual decisive action, it was indeed a process of complete decisiveness.

The process is not important.

As long as the result is correct.

Anyway, as I said before, let Hawke worry about what happens in the future.

He only cares about the present.

If he were to give an answer that displeases Wanda, he would likely have no future.

Wanda met Hawke's eyes and listened to his answer.

"Really?"

"You can go into my heart and see for yourself."

Hawke opened his arms to Wanda: "To you, I am an open book."

Wanda smiled slightly as she looked at Hawke's expression.

"I'll go and see."
