Chapter 1140: With you, there is me (First update!)

~8 min read 1,514 words

In the magic circle, the golden-red light unique to the Phoenix constellation nebula shone brilliantly.

And with the blooming of the Phoenix constellation nebula's main sequence star, then as if falling into the human world, Hawk, who had originally been sitting cross-legged in the magic circle, also slowly opened his eyes.

The next second.

Hawk looked with some helplessness at Wanda, who was covered in scarlet color and looked abnormally blackened.

"If you wanted me to come back, you should have at least given me a signal."

"..."

Wanda, who had been somewhat angry, froze at Hawk's words.

"What?"

"Did you forget how I combined with the Mind Stone?"

Hawk's tone was calm as he spoke, and then he stood up from the magic circle: "Because of you, I was able to combine with the Mind Stone, live through death, and revive; therefore, because there is you, there is me. So, if you didn't give me a signal, how could I come back here."

This was the truth.

Since he had already made up his mind to come here, he naturally wouldn't hesitate at the last moment.

But Hawk didn't expect that this body not only had his aura but also Wanda's aura.

So—

If he wanted to descend into this body, he not only needed his own consent but also Wanda's permission.

After all, in this spacetime, his physical body had long since been gone, and the body he formed by combining with the Mind Stone was able to live through death because of Wanda's help.

The Supreme Mage King on the side watched Hawk descend, then looked at the man and woman staring at each other, shivered, turned around, and left without a word, leaving this secret chamber to Hawk from the different universe and the blackened version of Wanda.

Hawk's peripheral vision saw the Supreme Mage King leave, but he didn't care, instead continuing to look at Wanda, who had black eyeliner due to the blackening, and said with a smile: "The Wanda in my memory isn't someone who would kill without a word."

Wanda laughed.

"The Wanda you're talking about is the Wanda from your original universe, sorry, that's not me."

"I love Wanda."

Hawk's answer didn't carry any hesitation: "I love you, I love you in every universe."

This wasn't plagiarism.

It was a tribute!

As everyone knows.

Classics are meant to be paid tribute to, and besides, love words in the world are all similar; who says they are someone's exclusive property.

Doctor Strange said it, so Hawk couldn't say it?

And this was also Hawk's truth.

Just as he admitted to Wanda, he also loved Gwen, and loved Gwen in every universe.

Wanda didn't get jealous, did she?

So—

The Wanda right now shouldn't be jealous either; after all, no matter which Wanda it was, she was still Wanda.

Wanda heard Hawk's words and looked straight at Hawk in front of her.

"You are not him."

"I am."

"Prove it to me."

"That might be a bit difficult."

"Why?"

Hawk didn't answer, but his gaze swept around the secret chamber; it was bare, not to mention there was no bed, even the floor was visibly cold.

Wanda followed Hawk's gaze and scanned the room, then realized, her willow eyebrows raised, and she spat at Hawk: "Pah, shameless."

Hawk smiled and spread his hands toward Wanda: "Hey, you told me to prove it to you."

Wanda was also amused.

Although a long time had passed since Hydra's second uprising was suppressed, even today, a large number of Hydra members were still active, and some were still in high positions.

"But this is the simplest and most efficient way; I know your depth, you know my length."

"... Shut up!"

Wanda, who hadn't reacted at first but soon did, subconsciously rolled her eyes at Hawk, but the scarlet, blackened scarlet energy dissipated at a visible speed, and she looked deeply at Hawk.

"Your shamelessness hasn't changed."

"Only toward you."

Hawk smiled, then opened his arms, pulled Wanda in front of him into his embrace, his fingers brushing through Wanda's hair, his voice calm: "Sorry, I'm late."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The Scarlet Witch battle suit on Wanda in his arms instantly dissolved, transforming back into normal home attire. Her hands tightly hugged Hawk's waist, her head pressed against Hawk's chest, listening to the abnormally familiar heartbeat, her voice carrying a hint of choking.

"I missed you so much, Hawk."

"Me too."

Hawk's lips kissed Wanda's forehead.

His body here wasn't an alternate version like others, but one soul, two bodies.

He here was him.

So Hawk possessed all the memories in this universe, which was why he also regarded the clever Anya as his sister.

Naturally.

He also possessed all the emotional memories with Wanda here.

What?

He was him, but Wanda here really wasn't the Wanda that existed in every corner of his timeline?

Forget it.

Leave future matters for the future Hawk to worry about; what does it have to do with the current Hawk?

People, after all.

The most important thing is to live in the present.

This was the mental journey Hawk went through when he decided to agree to the King's plan and come to this spacetime.

He loved Gwen, and loved her in every universe.

Similarly, he also loved Wanda, and in every universe; as for whether his Wanda could understand, that was a matter for after he finished dealing with the Celestials and brought Wanda back from the 828 universe.

Hawk and Wanda's reunion didn't have many flowery words, nor any intense exchanges; there were only embraces and a few words between them.

The secret chamber that originally housed the Time Stone was quiet now, with only the sound of two hearts beating.

At first, the heartbeats of the two hearts were not synchronized, rising and falling, but as time passed, gradually, the beating frequencies of the two unsynchronized hearts began to fit and synchronize.

Half an hour later.

Hawk, who walked out of the library behind, stood on the oriental-style corridor, looking at the snow-capped mountains that came into view in the distance, and the snowflakes falling outside, subconsciously stretched out his right hand and caught a snowflake that fell into his palm.

The snowflake melted in Hawk's palm at a visible speed.

Hawk watched, lost in thought.

"What's wrong?"

The scarlet color was gone, no longer the scarlet battle suit, but also no longer home clothes, instead wearing a dress that looked like a vacation dress, Wanda looked at this scene with some curiosity.

Hawk came back to his senses, looked at Wanda, who was watching him with caring eyes, and smiled slightly: "The feeling of being alive, it's really good."

From a certain angle, he had experienced life and death once again.

He descended his consciousness from his own body into this body that had already died, which actually counted as a Nirvana rebirth.

Huh.

That's not right.

Speaking of which, at the time, I didn't seem to need to really die; I could have cheated, and by transmitting my consciousness into a body that had already died, it could also be considered as curving through life and death.

No, why did I think about cheating again?

Didn't I agree never to cheat again? The cost of cheating is great, and he had already paid it off, and was even with cheating.

Hawk's thoughts were chaotic, and he subconsciously shook his head.

And in Wanda's eyes, this behavior of Hawk's seemed very strange.

"What's wrong again?"

"Cheating is a bad habit, I'm trying to quit."

"Uh..."

"Nothing, just revived, too many chaotic thoughts, don't worry about it, I'm fine."

Hawk smiled, holding Wanda's hand, and said: "Soul too strong, body too weak, I'm adapting."

If it were his true body, his consciousness wouldn't have such large fluctuations, and if possible, he could maintain absolute calmness.

That is, the so-called divinity.

But his body here, although it became indestructible because of combining with the Mind Stone, was not the divine body that Hawk had tempered and sublimated.

Therefore, this was the reason why his thoughts became so many and so chaotic after descending.

Wanda heard Hawk's explanation and remembered a sentence the Supreme Mage King said before.

"The King said the real you is very powerful."

"It's okay."

Hawk said modestly, then looked at Wanda again, and said with a smile: "The stronger I am, the stronger you are."

Wanda's willow eyebrows raised.

"How so?"

"Whatever rank I am among men, that's what rank you are among women."

Hmm.

This once again proved that his soul was still adapting to this body right now.

After Hawk finished this sentence, distracting thoughts surged up again, and he thought to himself.

And Wanda listened to Hawk's words, her lips pursed as she looked at Hawk: "Now I'm very sure you're really back."

Hawk's sword eyebrows raised, just about to ask why, when suddenly, he recalled in his memory how he had chased Wanda in this universe. ===== CHAPTER 1142 =====
