Chapter 1171

616 Universe Main Timeline!

Skull Island!

If the previous Skull Island was surrounded by a huge storm belt, then the current Skull Island is surrounded by an even larger storm belt.

A huge energy transmitter stands on the highest peak of Skull Island.

This is a device capable of amplifying the energy of the storm belt.

It was made by Tony Stark, and it is precisely because of this device that there is no longer any need to worry about Hydra using weapons of mass destruction to attack Skull Island.

Because this enhanced storm belt is enough to destroy any fighter jet attempting to rush in from the outside.

And after the Avengers moved their base to Skull Island, Tony used the metal hidden beneath Skull Island to restart his Iron Legion project.

And this time, no one objected; even Pepper Potts held her daughter Morgan Stark's hand in support of this plan.

Therefore, the current Skull Island has a large number of steel robots constantly patrolling back and forth.

As for the monsters on Skull Island.

Let's put it this way.

The Avengers have designated habitat zones for them; within the zones, they can still live, but if they leave the zones, well, sorry, they will become food.

But precisely because of this, Kong, the former guardian deity of Skull Island, is effectively unemployed, but at the very least, the once crisis-ridden Skull Island has become peaceful.

Even the number of Eternal immigrants on the island has increased significantly since the Avengers arrived here, with many more newborns.

They have even learned English and can communicate without barriers with the Avengers who migrated here.

But compared to the descendants of the Eternals who are moved by the current stability of life, the Avengers still have a belly full of fire.

Because they are always thinking about the outside world.

For the Avengers, the current dormancy is just for a better counterattack.

As for how to counterattack?

Don't ask.

They haven't thought of it yet; after all, one Scarlet Witch, plus one Black Hawk, has completely beaten them up.

But they still hold onto a glimmer of hope.

Although this hope might be very slim.

Especially Natasha.

Just like when the Snap happened and almost everyone gave up hope, Natasha still maintained hope.

This is also why every time she goes out to contact the resistance forces and send them the supplies they need, Natasha always volunteers to go out.

But this time, after Natasha went out and returned, everyone felt something was wrong.

Because the Natasha who returned this time had changed completely.

How to describe it?

At first, everyone couldn't describe it, but after a few days, everyone knew what was wrong with Natasha.

Hope!

The smile on Natasha's face after she returned this time is called hope.

But...

No matter how they asked, Natasha just kept her mouth shut.

This day.

Natasha, as usual, came to the seaside after waking up, looking out at the colorful storm belt in the distance, thinking of the scene where she met Hawk when she went out half a month ago.

So!

Natasha, sitting barefoot on the beach, hugging her knees, had flickering eyes and murmured in her tone.

"Hawk, when will you come back?"

"I'm already here."

"..."

Natasha's body shook, and with a 'whoosh', she turned around, looking at the man and woman who had appeared behind her out of nowhere.

Hawk and Wanda.

"How long has it been? Here."

"Half a month."

Natasha heard this and responded subconsciously, then reacted, looking at Hawk who had appeared before her eyes: "When we were on the Soul Planet..."

Hawk interrupted with a smile.

"We are friends."

"God!"

Natasha exclaimed, then stepped forward to hug Hawk, but unlike last time, she let go quickly, then cast her gaze on Wanda, who was not in her Scarlet Witch outfit but in the Gypsy girl attire from their first meeting, with a hint of inquiry: "So, you are the good Wanda, not the bad Scarlet Witch?"

Wanda looked at Natasha, who seemed a bit nervous about her, and smiled: "If you are Hawk's enemy, then I am the Scarlet Witch."

Natasha heard this, her expression completely relaxed, and she also stepped forward to hug Wanda: "Wanda, you can't imagine how bad the Scarlet Witch here is."

Wanda, hugging Natasha, smiled and looked at Hawk, who was casting a glance over, and raised an eyebrow.

Hawk also raised an eyebrow, didn't speak, and didn't tell Natasha that the one standing before her now is actually also a Scarlet Witch.

It was also at this moment that a harsh alarm sounded abruptly on Skull Island.

The next second.

Countless sounds of breaking through the air rang out.

Hawk raised his eyes to look at the sky.

Coming into view.

Hundreds of steel robots were speeding from all directions, sweeping toward them.

"Holy shit!"

Natasha saw this, quickly looked up, and shouted loudly: "Don't fire, he is the real Hawk, he is the real Hawk."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The steel robots, which had looked murderous and had all weapons activated as they rushed straight toward them, instantly froze in mid-air, but still maintained a defensive posture, their weapons still aimed at the position where Hawk and Wanda were standing.

The next moment.

Another sound of breaking through the air came, and immediately after, a figure landed. Tony Stark, wearing a nano-steel suit, landed in a classic pose, and then cast his gaze on Hawk with eyes that seemed a bit more weathered from the experiences of these years.

Eyes met.

Hawk wore a smile.

"Tony."

"Hawk."

Tony said this, then cast his gaze on Natasha: "So this is the secret you hid from us when you returned this time?"

Natasha spoke subconsciously.

Hawk spoke first: "This has nothing to do with Natasha; it was I who asked Natasha to keep it a secret. After all, the people impersonating me and Wanda are in the light, while we are in the dark. This is good; I don't want to be exposed prematurely and let them run away."

Tony heard this from Hawk, completely deactivated his nano-suit, and a smile appeared on his originally unusually serious face: "You really are Hawk!"

That Black Hawk couldn't say this.

No.

He also looked arrogant, just too arrogant.

This is also why Tony determined that the Black Hawk was a fake Hawk the first time he saw him.

The answer is right here.

The Hawk before him, although his words were also full of arrogance, Hawk's eyes could actually see people.

Simply put.

The fake Hawk couldn't see anyone in his eyes, while the real Hawk could see people in his eyes.

Tony couldn't help but ask.

"What's going on?"

"It's a long story."

Hawk smiled slightly, then looked at Natasha: "Now you can tell them; I'm going to meet an old friend first."
