Chapter 1073: Goodbye Mephisto (Second update!!)

What is regret?

It is something you once possessed, but which suddenly vanished from your world.

But—

Regret is absolutely not about seeking something you cannot obtain!

After the recent infinite cycle of regret, Hawk had tried countless methods and made countless efforts, but the final result remained unchanged.

It was fundamentally impossible for him, as an ordinary person at that time, to save his sister from the ruins before the floor slab collapsed.

What does this mean!

Hawk's choice at the time was wise.

Still the same saying.

Knowing something cannot be done and doing it anyway is never the act of a hero, but the act of a reckless fool.

Therefore—

When Hawk had tried every possible method and found them all useless, he became completely at peace.

With no regret in his heart, naturally, this world of regret could no longer trap him; the moment his thoughts became clear, this world of regret also met its total collapse.

The buildings were turning into fine powder.

The running crowds were also turning into ash.

Even Anya, who was buried in the ruins within the world of regret, turned into ash along with the buildings that were also turning into powder under Hawk's gaze.

At this moment, Hawk had no regret in his heart, and no regret in his eyes.

Although his eyes were weary, his gaze was calm.

Like water that has ceased to ripple.

The sky also collapsed at this moment, exposing the sky of the Hell dimension, where endless ash drifted eternally.

Even the air began to fill with the sulfurous scent unique to that endless Hell.

Clearly.

This time, Hawk had relied on his own strength to walk out of the cage of regret in the Hell dimension.

Watching this scene, a flash of surprise crossed Mephisto's eyes, yet he felt no panic that Hawk had walked out of his cage of regret.

After all—

Hawk had lost.

He had won.

Having burned out his soul power to exchange for peace regarding his regret, Hawk no longer had any strength to resist his Hellish invasion.

In short.

He was determined to have Hawk's soul.

Just that—

Just as Mephisto was thinking this, Hawk, who was sitting on the sulfurous ground of Hell, suddenly looked up at Mephisto.

"Do you know why I came to Hell for a visit?"

"This is not your universe; your Underworld cannot refract here."

"Heh."

Hawk smiled brilliantly, looking at Mephisto: "My power had long since refracted into this universe. If you don't believe me, look up."

Hearing this, Mephisto looked up subconsciously.

Entering his sight!

Clang!

A dragon's cry in the sky, its sound resonant!

A phantom of the Fire Phoenix, bathed in golden-red flames, projected into the sky of the Hell dimension, spreading its wings burning with phoenix fire and crying out loudly.

Seeing this, Mephisto's expression changed instantly as he looked at Hawk.

"Your power had arrived long ago, but you didn't use it?"

"Yes."

"So you are an ordinary person right now?"

"The body is still a divine body, but, indeed, I did come here as an ordinary person."

"Why?"

Mephisto spoke subconsciously.

Hawk grinned: "To pay the bill for the shortcuts of the past."

So, cheating is not allowed.

What one obtains through one's own strength is truly one's own; what one obtains through cheating will eventually have to be paid back.

Hawk now had a deep understanding of this saying.

But Mephisto was completely panicked.

He stared fixedly at Hawk: "This is impossible. If you came here as an ordinary person, how could your soul burn so many times?"

Hawk tilted his head, looking at Mephisto.

"Did I ever say I was burning my own soul?"

"What?"

Hearing this, Mephisto seemed to think of something and subconsciously looked deep into the soul power he had absorbed during Hawk's infinite soul-burning cycle.

Looking didn't matter.

One look!

Mephisto's expression changed drastically.

Watching this scene, Hawk spoke with a brilliant smile.

"Old Mo, it's time to resurrect, isn't it?"

"Boom!"

The moment Hawk's words fell, Mephisto, standing before him, began to twitch like a malfunctioning robot.

Endless black energy permeated out from the body of the Mephisto before him.

At the same time, it was accompanied by strange, cackling laughter.

But listening to this long-lost, familiar cackle, a smile of recollection and nostalgia appeared on Hawk's face.

Mephisto twisted his body continuously, screaming.

"No!"

"This is my Hell, not yours."

"Get out!"

"Get out of my bo..."

"Ah!"

Mephisto screamed and roared, but suddenly, his body seemed to glitch, and he stood frozen in place.

Immediately after, an anomaly occurred in this Hell dimension.

Hawk looked in the direction of the anomaly.

Entering his sight.

The palace that the Mephisto here had built for himself was collapsing, but in the blink of an eye, a brand-new palace, even more familiar to Hawk, was born from the ruins.

This palace was the one Mephisto had built for himself in the Hell dimension of Hawk's home universe.

Just as Hawk was gazing at that familiar Hell palace, a crisp groan suddenly sounded from before him.
