Chapter 1184: The True Hawk and Wanda (Second update!!)

~6 min read 1,071 words

"Alright."

Morgan's pretty face broke into a smile, and she playfully stuck out her tongue. "Uncle Hawk, so how did you come through the hell dimension? Did you persuade Mephisto?"

Hawk smiled and said, "You could say I persuaded him, because I told him that if he didn't help me, I would tell his boss about his deal with the Celestials. I'm very familiar with his boss, too."

Morgan's mouth hung wide open.

Pepper Potts, standing to the side, laughed and pulled Morgan into her arms, rubbing the girl's head. "Don't forget, your Uncle Hawk is also a god."

Morgan realized what she meant and stuck her tongue out at Hawk again.

Hawk looked at Pepper with a smile. "Pepper, you're wrong about that."

Pepper looked at Hawk.

Hawk smiled slightly.

"The one standing before you is not a god."

"Uh..."

Wanda, who was sitting with Natasha, chuckled. She looked at Pepper and explained, "He's afraid of falling into a trap, so he didn't dare bring his true body."

Hawk raised an eyebrow. "Hey, what do you mean 'afraid'? This is called tactics."

Bringing his true body left no room for error.

But by projecting his consciousness and using a body left behind here to scout first, he had nothing to fear, even if there were traps.

To put it in fashionable terms: since he could have been calm and collected, why would he ever choose to be trembling and scrambling?

So, this was tactics, not cowardice.

Wanda rolled her eyes at Hawk and said directly, "So, is your 'tactics' finished now? Can you go settle the score with that fake?"

Hawk looked straight at Tony and Steve. "Do you know their location?"

"Niuyuecheng."

"They turned the Avengers headquarters into their own base. I don't know about the Scarlet Witch, but that Black Hawk is staying there."

"That's not Black Hawk, that's the Creator Sela."

Hawk corrected Steve's statement and briefly recounted the information he had just exchanged with Tiamut. "So, they aren't trying to create a 'me' to replace me; they want to replace me themselves."

Hearing this, Wanda frowned slightly and looked at Hawk.

"Then that's an even bigger threat to you?"

"It's more interesting."

"..."

Wanda looked at the faint smile on Hawk's lips and raised an eyebrow again. "What are you planning now?"

Hawk shrugged. "The Celestials have no souls; they are just tools, so there's no way to torture them after death. And because they are just tools, even while they're alive, I can't torture them enough to vent my anger."

This might be the reason why the Celestials ignored his murderous intent and provoked him again and again.

Because they didn't fear punishment after death.

"But it's different now."

"How is it different?"

"I plan to let him have a soul first."

Hawk raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Wanda. "Once Sela has his own soul, then I can suppress him in my Underworld and torture him properly."

Wanda heard this and locked eyes with Hawk.

After a while.

Wanda withdrew her gaze, nodded, and spoke in a very calm tone.

"You really aren't a good person."

"..."

Hawk's mouth twitched at Wanda's assessment.

Just then.

Captain America Steve spoke in a deep voice.

"No!"

"What's wrong?"

"According to Friday's intelligence, they have plundered many more extraordinary beings and are on the way to Niuyuecheng. If we wait until he has a soul, who knows how many more lives will be lost."

"I see."

Hawk shrugged at the Captain. "Captain, make a choice. Do you want a world that has been ravaged like this, or do you want the old world back?"

Steve: "..."

Hawk died.

He was directly poked to death by the Calculator Nezarec with a Great Desolation Imprisoning Heaven Finger, and Hawk's body instantly turned into countless starlight blooming in the universe.

Immediately after.

A soul emerged from the countless starlight.

"It's now, Arishem!"

"I see it."

In the ruins of the New York Hawk's Nest, Arishem, who saw this scene, also emerged from the ruins, and then instantly floated into mid-air.

The huge figure of the Calculator Nezarec appeared behind Arishem, like a demon guard, coldly watching Wanda and the Avengers who had gathered together.

"This is..."

"No way."

"Hawk, he..."

"Died?"

The Avengers looked up at the starlight blooming like an evolution over the Earth, and that soul that was looming in the starlight and looked very much like Hawk, all widening their eyes, issuing bursts of exclamations of disbelief.

Only Wanda looked at this scene as usual.

"Hahaha—"

"Heeheehee!"

Arishem, floating over New York City and wearing Hawk's face, no longer made any cover-up at this moment, restored that heeheehee weird laugh, opened his arms, looked down at the Avengers from a high position, and finally fixed his gaze on Wanda.

"Wanda Maximoff, you aren't her, but I will become him, so I'll give you a chance too."

Arishem opened his arms, looked up at the light that looked like Hawk's soul falling under the starlight, and then looked down at Wanda again: "You aren't his Wanda, but you can be my Wanda. If you are willing, I can let you continue to be with me, enjoying the universe that belongs to the two of us."

Wanda looked at Arishem, who was floating in the sky, her eyes full of undisguised disdain.

"I am not willing."

"You aren't his Wanda, you should know."

Arishem still didn't give up, because in the Mutant Universe, Hawk's timeline was already full of Wanda's figure.

Therefore, he wanted to truly take over the nest and become Hawk, and he also needed a Wanda.

Originally, his candidate was the Scarlet Witch.

But the Scarlet Witch was unwilling, so there was no way.

As a result...

Wanda listened to Arishem's words and sneered.

"I am not his Wanda?"

"No, the Scarlet Witch you created is not his Wanda."

"Me?"

"There has never been a saying that there is a Wanda who isn't his. He is my Hawk, and I am his Wanda."

"And!"

"Hawk asked me to bring you a message."

"What?"

Arishem listened to Wanda's words, then looked at the strange smile on Wanda's face, his heart skipped a beat, and he stared at Wanda.

Wanda's gaze also fell on the light falling under the starlight, and she looked at Arishem.

"Is it your light?"

"Why don't you reach out?"

"..."
