Chapter 139: A Christmas Gift from the Military (Seven updates, begging for first subscriptions!!)
Christmas in 2012 didn't look much different from previous Christmases.
Stores on the street were playing Christmas carols.
Snowflakes were falling in the sky.
In the community, children were in groups, playing happily together on this very special holiday.
The entire New York City was immersed in the joy of Christmas.
Families were either celebrating in various restaurants or gathered at home, lighting bonfires and sitting together to celebrate the arrival of the holiday.
Hawk was also reuniting with his family.
Like every year, when the sky was about to turn dark, he took the bus to Calvin Cemetery, stepping on the snow on the ground, to accompany his sister to spend the holiday.
Helen had thought about inviting him to go to Long Island with the Stacy family to spend the holiday.
But he declined.
Although Hawk felt that if there were no accidents in the future, he would definitely marry Gwen, and Gwen would become his only wife and they would become a family.
But that was a matter for the future.
But the future is the future, and now is not.
The most important point.
He also had his own family.
So...
Hawk declined Helen's invitation.
Since he was a child, every Christmas, he spent it with his sister Anya. Even after his sister passed away in 2009, every Christmas, he would come to accompany Anya.
Because Hawk knew his sister liked liveliness, but because of her congenital heart disease, many times she could only watch from afar.
This already made Hawk's heart ache, and let Anya spend the holiday alone?
Sorry.
He couldn't do it.
In the cemetery.
Like last year, Hawk placed the food his sister Anya liked in front of her tombstone, and then leaned against his sister's tombstone, sitting on the ground, looking at the scenery in the distance.
Goose-feather snow was falling from the sky.
It was magical to say.
The heavy snow that had been falling for nearly two hours had already covered the nearby ground with a layer of white quilt, but around Hawk, and around his sister Anya's tombstone, the ground was as dry as it was on a sunny day.
Just like in the wilderness where heavy snow falls, the area around a tiger is as dry as summer.
Hawk leaned against the tombstone, closing his eyes slightly, his mind sinking into his own Small Universe.
After three days of rest, his Small Universe had completely absorbed the gamma energy he had plundered after Hulk died, and it was completely refreshed.
Obviously.
His Small Universe had sublimated.
Gamma energy is a power that truly exists in the Marvel universe.
So his Small Universe also became a bit more real after absorbing this truly existing gamma energy.
Although it was still far from a real Small Universe, it could even be said to be a thousand miles away.
But...
Just by increasing that little bit of reality, compared to the previous Small Universe, it could be said that one was in the sky and the other was on the ground.
Take an example.
If Hawk needed to use the power of drowning in the lake to kill Hulk before, then he didn't need to now.
Now, if he went to find Hulk again, even on land, as long as Hulk maintained his previous combat power, he could beat Hulk to death alive.
Not an exaggeration.
The most important point.
Hawk, who sank his mind into his Small Universe, looked up at the bright, hot, unparalleled shining Phoenix constellation above the Small Universe, and the dozens of stars that had appeared in the starry sky again.
Yes.
Dozens of stars.
This was also another unexpected gain after he successfully took revenge on Hulk, besides the gamma energy.
It couldn't be called unexpected either.
The Saint Seiya is originally a method of holy war. Every battle Hawk has will make his Small Universe have more stars to enhance his strength, thereby achieving the proportional effect of becoming stronger the more he fights.
Hawk planned to use the dozens of stars that appeared this time to light up the "Dragon constellation."
The "Phoenix constellation" gave him the confidence of "immortality" and "nirvana."
Then the "Dragon constellation" would provide him with "the dragon's fierceness" and "the dragon's protection."
Fierce power and unparalleled defense.
This is the Dragon constellation.
Among the many Saint Seiya, the only Saint Seiya who is stronger when taking off the holy cloth than when wearing it.
The most important point.
This is a dragon!
The phoenix sings in the sky.
The dragon roars in the nine heavens!
Hawk slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the photo of his sister on the tombstone next to him who seemed to be smiling at him, and a soft expression appeared on his face.
"Hulk should have gone to hell by now."
"You should have seen it too."
"Don't worry, there's still Abomination, Abomination is coming soon too."
"Remember to tell Mephisto, if he didn't take good care of you, when I go to hell, I will twist his head off and use it as a urinal!"
Just like Mephisto treated Zarathos back then.
What?
Don't know who Zarathos is?
Ghost Rider, you know, Ghost Rider uses Zarathos's power.
Back then, after Mephisto defeated Zarathos, he twisted Zarathos's head off and made it into a urinal.
Ghost Rider's power was bestowed by Mephisto using one of his urinals.
Hawk's tone was gentle, as if his sister Anya in hell could hear him.
Hawk, leaning against the tombstone, closed his eyes and talked about the things that might make his sister Anya feel interesting and happy this year.
At this moment, Hawk was no longer in a state of being inarticulate, but was quite talkative.
Very talkative.
Including today's front-page headline, Hawk also nagged to his sister Anya.
That is Tony Stark fighting the Extremis virus Killian at the Port of Rosslyn, Tennessee, and setting off fireworks with the Iron Legion he had accumulated over so many years.
His sister Anya liked to listen to this kind of news related to billionaires like other little girls before she died.
"Last night, at the oil terminal at the Port of Rosslyn, Tennessee, an unprecedented hero's curtain call and identity confession were staged."
"After Tony Stark successfully thwarted the deadly threat of the terrorist Aldrich Killian and his Extremis virus soldiers, he made a jaw-dropping move—"
"He ordered all the remaining Iron Legion armors to fly into the sky and conduct a priceless, night-sky-illuminating firework self-detonation."
"Just at 7:00 this morning, Tony Stark, who reappeared, accepted an interview and said..."
Hawk, leaning against the tombstone, muttered while thinking about the content of this morning's newspaper.
The cemetery was silent, only Hawk's muttering sound.
If a timid person passed by the cemetery at this moment, it is estimated that after walking closer and listening to this hellish sound like a demon ringing in his ears, he would think he had met a ghost.
After a while.
Hawk's muttering sound also disappeared.
He leaned against his sister Anya's tombstone, as if he had fallen asleep.
Like last year, the year before, Hawk planned to stay here and accompany his sister to spend this year's Christmas.
After all, if there were no accidents, this year is the last time.
Because...
Next year, at the latest before next year's Christmas, he must find a way to go to hell and pick up his sister from hell in a grand manner. ===== CHAPTER 141 =====
