Chapter 1181: Hawk and Sera (First Update!)
"Fuck!"
"Shit!"
"Motherfucker..."
At this very moment, Sera lay in a healing pod, raging impotently while letting the machine repair the body that had nearly been pierced through by the Scarlet Witch.
He had considered that this manufactured Scarlet Witch might turn on him once she learned the truth.
Sera had also taken precautions.
Ever since he had occupied this seemingly-but-not-really Hawk body, his interactions with the Scarlet Witch had followed his memories, for which he had forced himself to endure the awkwardness of sitting as an equal with a tool of his own creation.
But the result was still failure.
He had even nearly been broken by the Scarlet Witch's hand; if Ikaris had not arrived in time, he would surely have been torn into pieces right now.
Literally torn into pieces.
Again.
Unlike creating the Eternals, when Sera created the Scarlet Witch, he had added no restrictions whatsoever.
Moreover, to make this manufactured Scarlet Witch act exactly like the real Wanda, he had even given part of his own authority to the Scarlet Witch; precisely because of this, the current Scarlet Witch could mimic the Hun Dun Mo Fa that only the true Wanda possesses.
But this was not the true Hun Dun Mo Fa.
It was...
"The Law of Time."
"What?"
"Interesting."
On Skull Island, after probing the Scarlet Witch's Hun Dun Mo Fa with Wanda, Hawk couldn't help but stroke his chin: "Sera really went all out; this can truly be called his final dance."
Wanda watched Hawk stroking his chin and frowned.
"What do you mean?"
"The one who drove you back wasn't Sera, was it?"
Hawk did not answer Wanda's question but looked toward the Scarlet Witch.
The Scarlet Witch nodded.
"Yes, Sera is strong, but I feel I could have killed him if Ikaris hadn't appeared in time."
"Then that settles it."
Hearing this, Hawk smiled slightly, then looked at Wanda: "Sera not only discarded his own body and stuffed himself into that seemingly-but-not-really Hawk, but he also transferred his laws to the Scarlet Witch. He has counted on me completely."
He counted on Hawk allowing him to complete the possession and permanently usurp the place.
For this, he was willing to discard his own body in advance, and even gave up the imprint of the Eternal Time upon him, hoping that after occupying Hawk, he would become a true god.
A god who could sit as an equal with the Eternal Time, his own creator.
Listening to Hawk's explanation, Wanda's gaze grew thoughtful: "So, the current Sera is actually very weak?"
Hawk hummed in agreement.
"Yes, very weak; so weak that if he is killed, he dies."
"But you are still frowning?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Something is strange."
Hawk shook his head.
He didn't know how to describe it either.
It was a bit like preparing so much work beforehand, even getting ready for a bloody battle, only to find upon reaching the battlefield that the opponent you thought could at least fight you for hundreds of rounds had turned into a stray on the roadside.
You throw one punch, and the opponent not only dies but dies miserably.
So what were all his previous preparations called?
Creating enemies out of thin air?
The most important point.
"I don't understand: on what basis does this Sera, who is unparalleled and utterly certain, believe he can 100% count on me?"
He discarded the body he relied on for survival, a body made entirely of Adamantium.
To usurp the place, he even gave up the laws granted to him by the Eternal Time.
"So..."
"Where does he get the confidence to play like this even before I have descended?"
Hawk truly couldn't figure it out, the kind of thing that leaves you scratching your head until it breaks.
Wanda simply shrugged and looked at Hawk.
"Actually, it's very simple."
"What?"
Hawk came to his senses and looked at Wanda.
Wanda smiled and said: "Since you can't figure it out, stay here; I'll go test his strength and weakness for you first."
