Chapter 372: Marvel: Awakening the Little Universe at the Start, Chapter 193

Ikaris flatly refused and began to rebuke Ajak for her wavering mission.

Ajak had no choice but to delete Ikaris's memory of the truth, but she still hoped that Ikaris, whom she had high hopes for to succeed her as the new leader of the Eternals, would rethink and make a new choice during his time living on Earth.

Later, Ikaris followed Sersi to settle in the Lost World beneath Skull Island.

And then...

Ikaris's memory recovered on its own, and he made his choice.

He chose to continue fulfilling the mission for which the Celestials had created them.

Let the 'Emergence' arrive!

But Ikaris, having recovered his memory, was conflicted.

On one hand, he wanted to continue fulfilling his duty.

On the other hand, he had feelings he couldn't let go of.

Because he knew that once he chose to fulfill his duty, he would definitely end up at war with his companions.

And Sersi.

His love.

Because he knew Sersi loved the Earth, and if he chose to continue fulfilling his mission, then in the future, he would personally destroy everything his beloved cherished.

So...

After struggling, Ikaris chose to leave without saying goodbye.

Just as recorded in the murals of the Ivi tribe temple in the Lost World, Ikaris chose to leave alone.

Because his love for Sersi was his greatest weakness.

Just like in the original plot, when Ikaris appeared in London, he still chose to protect Sersi, and even in the final battle, when he clearly had the chance to kill Sersi and let the 'Emergence' arrive, he ultimately chose to give up.

But that is a story for another time.

In short!

On this timeline, between fulfilling his mission and his feelings he couldn't let go of, Ikaris chose the former.

But before that, he had to clear away any obstacles that might stop the Emergence plan.

And facing his feelings he couldn't let go of and his former beloved friends and family, Ikaris also thought of a good way.

Deviants.

He planned to use Deviants to assassinate Ajak, the leader who had begun to question their mission.

But the Deviants had already been wiped out by them at the beginning, so where could he find newly hatched Deviants?

Fortunately, Ikaris found two Deviant eggs under the ice sheet in Antarctica.

But the eggs had no life left.

But it didn't matter; he knew of a place with rich life energy, which was the Lost World where he had once spent happy times with Sersi before finally choosing to leave without saying goodbye.

So he returned here and successfully hatched new Deviants using the life energy here.

And as his first target for cooperation, without a doubt, it was naturally the Ivi tribe born from him and Sersi.

Rather than letting his and Sersi's descendants be wiped out in the Emergence, he might as well bury them himself.

Of course.

This was all deduced by Hawk based on the murals he saw in the Lost World and combined with the plot of the Eternals movie.

After all, Ikaris hadn't said many words to him in total.

But Hawk felt that the course of the story should be more or less like this.

Peter opened his mouth.

"So, inside our Earth, there really is a cosmic Celestial, and in the future, he will be born and destroy our Earth at the same time."

"More or less."

"Hiss!"

Peter gasped and looked at Hawk: "Hawk, we must stop all of this from happening."

Hawk heard this, looked at the somewhat excited Peter, and smiled: "Alright, how do you plan to stop it? Tiamut is right below, and there is indeed a way to kill Tiamut."

Peter's eyes lit up.

"What?"

"Destroy the Earth."

"What?"

"Tiamut is incubating at the core of the Earth. The only way to stop him from being born is to interrupt his life energy. The only way is for us to destroy the Earth before Tiamut destroys it, just like Ikaris did to his and Sersi's descendants."

"No."

Peter heard this and shook his head like a rattle: "This won't do, this can't be, this is impossible. Isn't there any other way?"

Hawk looked at Peter, who really seemed to want to know the answer, and the joking expression on his face faded.

Peter was still that Peter.

Maybe his ability was limited, but he was that Spider-Man with infinite responsibility.

Hawk thought to himself, looking at Peter, who really wanted to know if there was a way to stop the 'Emergence' from happening.

"There is!"

"What!"

"Believe in the wisdom of future generations."

"..."

Peter heard this, a bit confused, and looked at the serious Hawk: "This... what kind of way is this."

Hawk looked out of the corner of his eye at Felicia, who had finished talking to the High Priest and was walking toward them, and smiled at Peter: "Then let me change my answer. Do you trust me?"

Peter nodded without hesitation.

"Of course."

"That's fine then. Don't worry, don't I still have me? I'm not in a hurry right now, why are you in a hurry?"

"That's true."

Peter nodded subconsciously, and then his heart relaxed.

Just then.

Felicia also walked over.

Because of Hawk's non-guarantee-like guarantee, Peter, who had let go of his worry about the future destruction of the Earth, looked at Felicia walking over, somewhat curious about the High Priest's choice.

"How was it? Will they go back?"

"No."

Felicia shook her head, walked in front of the two, turned her head to look at the High Priest who was leaning on a cane and walking toward the Ivi tribe temple, and then looked at Hawk and Peter and said: "The High Priest also understands that they can't go back at all. Perhaps he just wanted to know the truth that has plagued their people for who knows how many generations."

Hawk's gaze also fell on the back of the High Priest, who was walking toward the Ivi tribe temple but whose figure was a bit more hunched: "The High Priest has had guesses in his heart passed down from generation to generation. Otherwise, that first High Priest wouldn't have stayed behind to wait for death instead of leaving with them."

He thought of the first High Priest who had died sitting in front of the ten Adamantium statues that looked like gods in the Ivi tribe temple in the Lost World.

That was Ikaris and Sersi's first child.

He must have known something, so he chose to walk into the temple and then smiled and calmly welcomed his father, who walked in from outside to finally take his life.

My life was given by you, so if you want to take it, you come and take it yourself.

Hawk speculated on the thoughts of that first High Priest before he died. This was also why, when he collected the Adamantium, he only collected those mountains and did not collect the temple made entirely of Adamantium, nor the ten Adamantium statues.

It wasn't for the sake of Ikaris or Sersi, but for the sake of that first High Priest.

Facing death, fear is the instinct of all living things.

But the courage to look death in the eye is the anthem of being human.

Ikaris might not be human, but that first High Priest was a person.

Just a bit too pedantic.

If it were Hawk, there would be nothing to say: keep the green hills, don't worry about firewood; of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best; a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late; three thousand Yue soldiers can swallow Wu; sleep on brushwood and taste gall for decades; wait until development is complete before coming out of the mountains to kill Ikaris.

That was how he thought, and that was exactly what he did.

Before having the ability to take revenge, the best way is not to even have the thought of revenge, just like he never exposed his hatred in front of anyone before his Little Universe was activated.

But...

Although he didn't agree with that first High Priest's choice, one thing was certain.

He had guts!

Hawk thought of the first High Priest who had maintained a sitting posture until he completely turned into a skeleton, gave the highest compliment between men in his heart, shook his head, ended the topic, looked at Peter and Felicia: "Alright, things here are settled. Are you ready? Shall we go?"

Peter and Felicia looked at each other, then nodded at Hawk.

"Ready."

"How do you plan to..."

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a scream before Felicia could finish her sentence, Hawk instantly looked up and used his telekinesis to wrap Peter and Felicia and flew straight into the sky.

Boom!

A sonic boom cloud appeared over Skull Island, and Hawk, in a supersonic posture, plunged into the huge storm system that seemed to connect the sky and the seabed, with Peter and Felicia wrapped in telekinesis on both sides.

The next second.

Rumble!

The huge storm system seemed to be angered at this moment, and various colorful lightning bolts constantly struck around the three of them, led by Hawk, who were passing through the clouds in a triangle formation.

Red linear lightning.

Blue ball lightning.

Black thick lightning.

Amidst the appearance of countless lightning bolts, Peter and Felicia, protected by telekinesis, gradually calmed down from their initial panic.

The huge storm system was neither long nor short. Almost in the blink of an eye, accompanied by the spitting out of the huge storm cloud, Hawk had already broken through the clouds with Peter and Felicia wrapped in telekinesis.

It felt like a lifetime ago.

The sea on the Pacific Ocean was surging, and the constantly roaring wind, the thunder constantly exploding in the sky, and the rain hitting the water surface completely pulled Hawk, Peter, and Felicia into the real world.

Hawk did not slow down and swept rapidly toward the Osborn experimental base platform located on the Pacific Ocean with Peter and Felicia, who had been successfully retrieved.

At this moment, the power system of the Osborn experimental base platform had been repaired.

Looking from afar.

Under the ravages of the storm, the Osborn experimental platform built on the Pacific Ocean was brightly lit, like a beacon in the vast ocean.

Soon!

Thud!

Hawk's feet touched the ground steadily, and then, Peter and Felicia, who were wrapped in telekinesis, also stepped steadily onto the platform floor.

The next moment.

A line of ten armed guards rushed out of the platform base, and the infrared light points of the firearms in their hands fell on Hawk, Peter, and Felicia.

Just then, a voice came out from the base behind them, accompanied by hurried footsteps: "Stop, put down your guns quickly."

Not long after.

A woman walked out of the base quickly, shouted to the guards to put down their guns, then ran quickly to Felicia, and then hugged Felicia with great excitement: "Boss..."

The person who came was none other than Felicia's personal assistant.

Although the old butler contacted Hawk at the first moment, and Hawk also set off, the old butler still contacted the little assistant afterward, recruited an international security team at the first moment, and then came here under the leadership of the little assistant. ===== CHAPTER 374 =====
