Chapter 1069: The cycle of death's regret (Second update!!)

~8 min read 1,515 words

Reed Stacy looked at the expressions of these people in front of him one by one, and a chill arose in his heart.

Once again.

If he hadn't been forced onto the duck's back, he wouldn't want to be this president.

This is the truth.

Although he doesn't consider himself a good person, this is also very normal, after all, politicians, good people can't be politicians.

But Reed feels that at least he is a person with a bottom line.

This can be seen from the support rate of voters in his district.

Voters trust him.

He also didn't let down the trust of his voters.

This is a transaction.

Reed Stacy has a strong sense of contract, just like this transaction with Hawk, although Hawk said this was an ultimatum, in Reed Stacy's view, this is a transaction.

A transaction using the surname Stacy as a bargaining chip.

After all, Hawk also said that he gave him such a choice because he saw that his surname was Stacy.

So—

If he let down this choice, then the surname Stacy will completely die in Hawk's heart.

Although Reed doesn't quite understand why he should care about this.

But he understands politicians.

Some things cannot just be looked at on the surface.

On the surface, the people present at the moment, one by one, seem to be asking for his opinion and following his instructions, but in reality, they are just looking for a scapegoat.

If Hawk dies, everyone is happy, those guys who are hiding in their respective safe houses and participated in the plan to hunt the Demon King, as well as the financiers behind them, will thank them.

But if Hawk didn't die, then this decision was made by him, such a president, and when the time comes, he will be pushed out by these people in front of him without hesitation.

So Reed couldn't be bothered to argue with these people, and directly stated that he was against this decision, but if you guys plan to bet with your own lives and the lives of the Federation on whether Hawk is dead or not.

You guys do whatever you want, anyway he won't follow.

He insists on completing the content of the transaction with Hawk. In this way, even if Hawk really dies, he will at most be driven out of office.

Anyway, he was forced onto the duck's back in the first place, so being driven out is no loss.

But if Hawk didn't die?

Reed feels that the surname Stacy should also be able to protect himself and his wife Helen and his daughter Gwen who just turned ten this year.

The people present heard Reed's words, fell into silence again, and looked at each other.

Bet with their lives?

Stop joking.

They have the guts to bet with others' lives, and it's very big, but let them bet with their own lives?

Sorry.

Their lives are very precious.

But if they win the bet, the return is generous.

The people present fell into entanglement in their hearts.

Entangled in whether Hawk is really dead or not.

And just when these people were guessing whether Hawk was dead or not, Hawk had already arrived at the Hell Tavern and was drinking with his long-lost old friend.

No.

To be precise, it's a look-alike old friend.

The Hell Lord Moxi of this universe is not the Hell Lord Moxi of his original universe.

"You are exactly the same as the old Moxi I know."

"There are still differences."

The Moxi of this universe held a wine glass, looked at Hawk with a smile, and clinked with Hawk: "I should be more handsome than him."

Hawk heard this, looked at Moxi in front of him, his face serious: "Now I am very sure that you are exactly the same."

The same, not a single word of truth in his mouth.

Moxi naturally understood this expression of Hawk, laughed, and after clinking glasses with Hawk again, said happily: "Welcome to my hell, Lord God Phoenix, are you ready to welcome your death?"

As everyone knows.

Every Lord God has his own afterlife world, and even if they die, they will still exist in the universe where they are.

Just like Odin, he died on Earth, but he didn't go to the hell dimension where Earth is, but returned to Valhalla where the World Tree is.

So according to this theory, Hawk died, and should also return to his own Underworld.

But Hawk came to the hell dimension where Moxi is.

This is because Hawk didn't receive his Phoenix Universe power, still the same sentence.

Born from death.

Only with a heart of death can one be born from death.

If he died and returned to his own Underworld, that wouldn't be having a heart of death.

So!

Hawk wants to be born from death, so he can only go to Moxi's hell dimension for a walk.

He heard Moxi's words, drank the bourbon in his glass, looked at Moxi, and said with a smile: "The old Moxi I know, his death world is a cycle of the world before death, I am very curious, is yours the same?"

In Hawk's original universe, every soul, after going to Moxi's hell, would fall into the world before death and repeat it repeatedly.

Dying again and again, through this method, the soul power of the soul is extracted.

So Hawk is very curious, is it the same here.

Moxi smiled brightly.

"Surprise, Lord God Phoenix, leave some surprises."

"That's fine."

Hawk heard this and put the wine glass in his hand on the table.

The next second.

Just as he was about to say he was ready, suddenly, the screen reversed, and in the blink of an eye, it was as if the world had changed.

Prosperous streets.

Noisy crowds.

And...

Two monsters fighting on the street.

Hulk and Abomination.

"Here is—"

"The death here is not the world before every soul dies."

Moxi's voice appeared in Hawk's ear, and when Hawk's gaze fell on his sister Anya who was pressed in the ruins after the smoke dissipated not far away, his tone was faint: "The souls that come to me will repeat in the biggest regrets."

Hawk's gaze was fixed on his sister Anya who was pressed in the ruins. Although he had already resurrected his sister, he still couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when he saw this scene.

He heard Moxi's explanation and didn't refute it.

Because the death of sister Anya was indeed his biggest regret.

"Then how do I get out?"

"Hehe."

"No one can walk out of regrets, just like I know, with your strength, you should have already resurrected the woman who died in front of you, but this scene still appeared, very clearly, this is still your biggest regret, even if you resurrected her, it is still a regret, so..."

Moxi's words chuckled, and after saying this, he paused, and then his voice was light: "Your soul, I accept it, sink here, get lost here."

The moment his words fell, the originally still world suddenly began to move.

The fighting roar of Hulk and Abomination.

The collapse of buildings.

And the screams of the fleeing crowd.

And...

"Anya!"

Hawk looked at his sister Anya who was pressed in the ruins, felt a pain in his heart, and almost instinctively went against the flow of people, ran to his sister Anya, and tried to save his sister from the ruins.

And just then.

Hulk roared and grabbed a car, preparing to smash it at Abomination, but Abomination dodged it, and it smashed into the floor, causing the outer wall of the floor to collapse.

Hawk looked up at the falling floor, and then looked at his sister under the ruins, who was just knocked unconscious but not actually dead, his eyes flickering.

This is the fundamental reason why his sister's death is his biggest regret.

Because at first his sister didn't actually die on the spot, she was just knocked unconscious, sister Anya died when the floor fell for the second time.

And Hawk's first choice was to give up the chance to save sister Anya and chose to retreat.

That was that retreat, he lost his sister.

Although that was his instinctive action, after all, he was just an ordinary person at that time, with no ability, and no time to save his sister before the floor fell.

But this is regret.

The reason why Hawk hid it in his heart, even though he had already resurrected his sister, it was still a regret.

Because a question has been echoing in Hawk's mind.

What if?

What if he had the ability and the chance to save his sister the moment the floor fell, if so, would the story be completely different?

And now the chance is here.

Although this is just a hell regret illusion, Hawk still wants to try.

Just like what he said back then.

Envy his great power? ===== CHAPTER 1071 =====
