Chapter 466: Marvel: Starting by Awakening the Small Universe, Chapter 245

"At that time—"

"The death dimension will become theirs, the life planet will become theirs, and all the souls on the entire life planet will be brainwashed into becoming the endless fuel they use to support their attack on the next life planet."

"..."

Three glasses of wine down.

Mephisto had finished telling the story of how the Heaven dimension competed for the ownership of a life planet and what fate Earth would face if the Heaven dimension conquered it.

The story was fascinating.

Hawk didn't even feel a ripple inside.

If they want to conquer it, let them.

It was none of his business.

It was as if the little planet wouldn't be disaster-ridden without the Heaven dimension.

However, Hawk understood the core of Mephisto's story.

"Brother, I'm in big trouble, save me!"

That was Mephisto's subtext, and the reason he had invited him to drink.

Clearly, Mephisto, having just returned home, must have sensed something, which was why he had hurriedly invited him over.

However...

Hawk snatched the bottle this time, pouring wine for Mephisto while feeling curious.

"What did you find?"

"..."

At Hawk's question, the corners of Mephisto's mouth and eyes twitched in unison. He thought for a moment and looked at Hawk: "The seeds of the Death Angel have already been planted by those bird-men."

Hawk arched a brow: "The seeds of the Death Angel? I remember you saying this method seemed to require several hundred..."

Hawk paused here.

Because if a doppelgänger state like Katherine Pierce's was actually an angel soul from the Heaven dimension.

Then Katherine Pierce wasn't the first doppelgänger.

The earliest doppelgänger was before Katherine Pierce.

This meant!

Hawk looked at the serious-looking Mephisto and couldn't help but laugh.

Mephisto's brows furrowed slightly.

Hawk quickly reached out: "Sorry, I didn't mean to. After all, you kept telling me that Earth's souls were your private property, yet a group of bird-men have been busy under your nose for nearly several hundred years, and you only just found out—and only because I reminded you?"

Mephisto's expression turned dark.

"I thought they would keep their promise and give up this planet."

"Please, you're a demon. You don't keep promises, so you expect them to?"

Hawk retorted speechlessly.

Mephisto's face grew even darker.

"I didn't call you here for you to mock me."

"Sorry."

Politeness costs nothing.

Setting aside the fact that Mephisto wanted to kill him, and that he wanted to seize Mephisto's Hell, his relationship with Mephisto was actually quite good.

So Hawk apologized quite readily, then picked up his glass, clinked it with Mephisto's, drained it, and looked at Mephisto, who was pouring more wine: "So, you want to form an alliance with me, the two of us against those bird-men in Heaven?"

Mephisto looked at Hawk after pouring his wine.

"Yes, they've already set their sights on you, haven't they?"

"I can't be sure of that yet."

Hawk smiled slightly at Mephisto: "Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. Besides, why wouldn't I form an alliance with winged angels? Give me a reason why I must form an alliance with you?"

Mephisto looked at Hawk intently after pouring the wine.

"Because you won't form an alliance with those bird-men."

The smile on Hawk's face didn't change.

"Reason."

"I only toy with human hearts, while they toy with faith. I only treat life planets as my pasture, while they treat life planets as their fuel."

Mephisto stared straight at Hawk after saying this.

Hawk met Mephisto's gaze.

After a while.

Hawk laughed, picked up his glass, and looked at Mephisto: "Suppose—I say suppose—suppose I form an alliance with you, what do I get after dealing with the Heaven dimension?"

Mephisto also picked up his glass, clinked it with Hawk's, and said with a smile: "Your universe wants to manifest, and it needs a reality coordinate. The location of the Heaven dimension is a good choice."

Hawk's eyes flickered upon hearing this.

Yes.

His small universe needed a reality coordinate to manifest.

Let's put it this way.

It's like applying for a homestead. Hawk now had the ability to apply, but the land was already occupied. In this situation, if he wanted to build his own universe, he either had to buy someone else's homestead or seize it.

No one would sell, that was for sure.

Hawk had originally planned to wait for the plot of *Thor: Ragnarok* to unfold, wait for the World Tree universe to be destroyed, and then go and place his Phoenix universe inside.

Because once the World Tree universe was destroyed, that land would become ownerless.

Since it was ownerless, it would naturally go to those with the virtue to hold it.

This was why Hawk wasn't in a hurry about not having awakened his Seventh Sense yet.

Nothing else.

Even if he awakened his Seventh Sense now, and then quickly awakened his Eighth Sense, he could manifest his universe, but he had nowhere to build his small universe.

So...

Being in a hurry was useless.

However, hearing Mephisto's proposal, although Hawk felt a bit moved, he still had a question: "A dimensional world can't hold my universe, can it?"

What he wanted to manifest was a parallel universe, one no weaker than the current one.

Only a universe could contain a universe.

A dimensional world...

It would probably burst.

Furthermore, if a dimensional world were comparable to a universe, why would Mephisto have been coveting his divine power back then?

Hawk seriously suspected this was another one of Mephisto's tricks to fool him.

After all, this guy had a history.

Mephisto smiled at Hawk's suspicious gaze: "Other dimensional worlds won't work, but I guarantee the Heaven dimension definitely can. Do you know the origin of the Heaven dimension?"

Hawk shook his head.

"I don't."

"I can't say."

"What?"

"You can go see for yourself, deep in the souls of Heaven, the deepest part. Once you see it, you'll know."

Mephisto was mysterious: "After you see it, I guarantee you'll come and take the initiative to form an alliance with me."

Having said that.

Mephisto drained his glass, stood up, and left the tavern.

Hawk turned his head to watch Mephisto walk out, his brows arched.

Deep in the soul, the deepest part?

What was there?

Hawk frowned slightly, drained his glass, then stood up and left the tavern.

*Hum! *

The space on the lawn tore open again.

The moment Hawk stepped out of the spatial rift, the Black Phoenix Surplice instantly disintegrated and returned to the Underworld Temple.

Gwen, seeing this, came up to him and wrinkled her nose.

"You drank?"

"Mm."

"I hope it wasn't spiked wine again."

"It's fine."

Hawk waved his hand, looked at Caroline who was watching him, and changed the subject to Gwen: "Is the story finished?"

Gwen nodded, then seemed to think of something and looked at Hawk: "My cousin says that Katherine, whom you let go, intentionally killed her, which is why she became a vampire."

Hawk looked at Caroline upon hearing this.

Caroline met Hawk's gaze and quickly looked away.

Hawk was amused and looked at Gwen: "Katherine Pierce is actually a pitiful person."

He said, briefly recounting Katherine Pierce's experience to Gwen.

When she was a human, she was seen as a disgrace and a burden by her father because she couldn't bear children, and was eventually handed over to the Original vampire Klaus by her own father.

To escape the fate of being a sacrifice for Klaus, she turned into a vampire, but this wasn't a release; it was the beginning of a nightmare, a nightmare that lasted five hundred years.

Gwen listened to Hawk's account, her brows furrowed, as if she were empathizing with Katherine Pierce's fate.

Even Caroline, who seemed to be hearing such a detailed account of Katherine Pierce's fate for the first time, couldn't help but put herself in her shoes.

She realized that if she were in Katherine Pierce's position, she would have died under Klaus's pursuit long ago.

The story finished.

Gwen glanced at her cousin, then looked at Hawk: "You seem to sympathize with Ms. Pierce very much. It wouldn't be as my cousin suspects, that she's really your ex-girlfriend, would it?"

Hawk looked at Caroline again.

Caroline shifted her gaze.

Hawk laughed and said to Gwen in a casual tone: "Gwen, I don't think you and your cousin are very close."

Gwen arched a brow: "How so?"

Hawk shrugged.

"If Caroline were my own sister, and I knew she had been hypnotized and toyed with by a vampire for months, I would definitely tear that vampire apart."
