Chapter 290: Christmas Holiday, Going Up the Snow Mountain (Second Update!)

Blackheart, who was still holding his right hand up in preparation to receive the contract, felt his pupils dilate at a slow speed at this moment.

Time seemed to have stagnated at this moment.

This finger appearing before his eyes brought Blackheart a sense of slowness that made his heart palpitate; at the same time, the movement was as swift as lightning.

Boom!

Space-time seemed to have twisted at this moment, and ominous purple-black flames suddenly appeared at the tip of Hawk's finger.

These purple-black flames had no temperature to speak of, looking exactly like the substance formed by countless grievances and fears, vaguely outlining the shape of a shrill phoenix wing, silent and soundless, yet carrying a terrifying pressure that extinguished souls.

The next second.

Hawk's right finger tapped the center of Blackheart's brow.

Boom!

Blackheart's body stiffened in an instant, like a rigid piece of wood, standing blankly on the spot. His pupils contracted violently, then lost focus, and finally dilated.

Phoenix Phantom Demon Fist.

The exclusive finishing move of the Phoenix constellation.

It does not use physical attacks as a means, but rather mental attacks, using absolute energy to strike the target's brain, forcibly evoking the enemy's deepest fearful memories and creating hallucinations.

Enemies struck by this move either sink into this deepest fear or break through the illusion to achieve enlightenment, thereby greatly increasing their strength.

Clearly.

Blackheart was not the latter.

Hawk looked at Blackheart, who had stiffened instantly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. The Phoenix Bronze Cloth he had just worn disintegrated once again, combining into the shape of a phoenix and returning to his own Little Universe.

This Cloth was a spare he had made using the first batch of Vibranium, meteorites, and Gamma stones he had collected.

The reason it was called a spare was that although this Cloth looked exactly like a Gold Cloth, it was actually just a prop that could no longer bring him effective strength enhancement.

Let's put it this way.

If he wore this Cloth, with his Little Universe burning at full capacity, this Cloth would still shatter.

In the end, the grade of this Cloth was only at the Bronze level.

But Hawk did not want to make a Silver Cloth.

So...

Since returning from Lunduncheng, Hawk had been considering putting the real Phoenix Gold Cloth on the agenda.

Work must be done in advance.

He had already decided on the materials for his true Gold Phoenix Cloth.

This time, it wouldn't be Vibranium.

Vibranium wouldn't work.

On Earth, Vibranium, which can absorb all kinetic energy, is indeed the best metal.

But looking at the entire universe, that is definitely not the case.

The most important point.

There is an essential difference between a Gold Cloth and a Bronze Cloth.

In a word.

A Gold Cloth itself contains the energy of a sun.

Vibranium only offsets kinetic energy, but it cannot store energy.

So...

Continuing to use Vibranium to make a Gold Cloth is no longer feasible.

It must be made of Uru metal.

That is the same Uru metal used to forge Lei Shenzhichui and the future Stormbreaker.

By the way.

The material for Thanos's double-bladed sword, which looked like a propeller and shredded Captain America's Vibranium shield in a few strikes, was also Uru metal.

When Hawk was at Christmas, he seemed to be trying to see if he could lift Lei Shenzhichui, but in reality, he was confirming whether Uru metal met his requirements.

But right now, Hawk had a better choice.

Surplice!

In Saint Seiya, it is not just the Gold Cloth that is a high-level Cloth; the performance of the Surplice worn by the Underworld Saints is on par with the Gold Cloth.

And compared to the Gold Cloth, which requires many materials, there is only one material for forging a Surplice.

Underworld Gem.

This is also why, when Gwen asked him what he planned to do, he said without hesitation: "Simple, just find an Underworld for myself."

Even if he forged a Gold Cloth now, he wouldn't be able to wear it for a while.

But a Phoenix Surplice is not impossible.

He has the Aether, and now he has obtained the four elements of creation.

The laws of life and death are right before his eyes.

Right now!

Hawk withdrew his right finger, looked at Blackheart, who was standing in front of him with a blank expression and eyes filled with incomparable fear, and shrugged his shoulders.

"Sorry."

"Demons are not to be trusted."

"Mephisto is not to be trusted, and neither are you."

"So..."

"I choose to do it myself!"

As Hawk's words fell, with a 'boom', a wisp of Phoenix fire ignited under Blackheart's feet, and immediately, it swept across Blackheart's entire body.

Blackheart, who was in the Phoenix fire, did not shout or scream, because his consciousness was still deeply trapped in the incomparable fear created by Hawk's Phoenix Phantom Demon Fist.

But...

This could not stop the Phoenix fire from refining him.

In the blink of an eye.

Refined in an instant!

Hawk stretched out his right hand, the Phoenix fire landed on it, revealing a law fragment obtained from just refining Blackheart.

The reason it is called a fragment is that Blackheart himself did not possess the laws of life and death; the reason he had them was because of his status, not because of the person he was.

However, for Hawk, this was enough.

With this fragment of the laws of life and death, he could build his own Underworld before his Little Universe materialized.

What?

The laws are incomplete?

It doesn't matter. After his Little Universe materializes, let alone mere laws of life and death, he will master all the divine powers possessed by the gods in the universe in an instant.

Just like Odin, the God King of the World Tree universe.

God King Odin is not only the God of War, but also the God of Prophecy, the God of Kingship, the God of Wisdom, and even the God of Healing, Magic, and Poetry.

This is also the reason why Odin is called the All-Father.

He is a god, and even more so a God King, the King of Gods, and the Father of the Heavens.

Hawk will be the same after his Little Universe materializes.

To be precise, he will be even more powerful than Odin.

Because the World Tree was not created by Odin, while the Little Universe that will materialize at that time will be entirely created by Hawk himself.

Therefore, all great power will return to himself at that time.

Is there anything wrong with this statement?

Nothing wrong.

Of course.

These are all things for the future.

Right now...

It's better to figure out how to borrow the Time Stone from the Sorcerer Supreme to give his forming Underworld a cheat and speed it up.

Hawk looked at the life and death law fragment sinking into the core of the forming Underworld, took a deep breath, and thought to himself.

However, he already had a plan in his heart for how to persuade the Sorcerer Supreme. ===== CHAPTER 292 =====
