Chapter 471: Marvel: Starting by Awakening the Small Universe, Chapter 248

Because Damon was at fault first.

It was Damon who hypnotized Caroline first. Caroline might not have had the strength to take revenge on Damon, but Caroline's cousin... she had a fiancé whose strength was terrifyingly powerful, enough to knock him and Damon unconscious with just a glance.

So...

Stefan shook his head and looked at Damon: "I have no way this time."

If his strength were greater than Hawk's, he might have been able to force his brother to be saved on the grounds that Damon didn't know any better and Caroline hadn't suffered any injuries.

This had nothing to do with morality, only with strength.

If he were stronger than Hawk, he really would have done so.

After all, no matter how trashy Damon was, he was still his brother.

But unfortunately, Hawk, who could knock him unconscious with just a glance, was terrifyingly powerful.

And Hawk could even take Damon away from a distance.

Such an existence was simply not something he could fight.

The most important point.

He didn't even have a way to stand on the moral high ground to criticize Hawk; after all, the man had a legitimate reason.

Who told Damon to make the first move?

Always liking to hypnotize this one and that one, well, now he'd finally hypnotized a big shot he couldn't afford to offend, and hypnotized his own life away, hadn't he?

Elena, on the side, looked at the restrained Damon, opened her mouth, and finally chose to say nothing.

The little black witch Bonnie looked at the restrained Damon and shrugged: "Be a good person in your next life, Damon."

Damon was stunned.

He looked at Stefan, who said he was finished this time, the speechless Elena, and Bonnie, who told him to be a good person in his next life, and was completely stunned.

Wait a second.

This wasn't right. Shouldn't the three of them be trying every possible way to save him? But setting Stefan aside, why did Elena and Bonnie look at him with such disgust?

He just hypnotized Caroline, didn't he?

It wasn't like he only hypnotized Caroline; in the past years, he had hypnotized plenty of women.

What was the big deal that he had to die for this?

Why?

Damon's thoughts turned, looking at the whitening sky, and he shouted in the direction where Hawk and the others had just left: "Caroline, I..."

His mouth was open.

But one could only see his mouth trying to open and close, yet not a single sound came out.

Hawk, having returned to the sofa on the first floor and re-muted Damon, smiled slightly and looked at Gwen, who was sitting on the side: "Keep talking."

Gwen frowned: "Is there any way to make Caroline a normal person again?"

Hawk arched a brow.

Caroline, hearing this, looked at Gwen: "Cousin, I don't want to change back."

Gwen looked at Caroline.

"But you're only seventeen."

"I know, but compared to being an ordinary person, I prefer being who I am now. I can hear very far, I can run very far, I can even live forever."

Caroline described her heightened senses after becoming a vampire and the vampire's near-immortal lifespan to Gwen: "Besides, I've seen another world, and I don't want to go back."

Gwen listened to Caroline's words, remembered a sentence Hawk had said before, and subconsciously looked at Hawk.

Their eyes met.

Hawk shrugged, as if to say, "Look, I told you."

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal!

Once again.

A normal ordinary person, after becoming a vampire and experiencing the vampire's super strength and speed, basically wouldn't choose to go back to being an ordinary person who gets out of breath after running a few steps.

Just like in the X-Men world.

After the mutant cure was developed, which mutants went to inject the cure and wanted to return to an ordinary life?

Those mutants who wanted to return to being ordinary people were the lowest-level mutants who had mutated but had no abilities, only external mutations.

Even Professor X, who defended humans so much, why didn't we see him go from a mutant who could know everything with a thought back to an ordinary person?

Most human nature is about chasing benefits.

Although vampires have many shortcomings, compared to the shortcomings of vampires, a near-immortal lifespan alone is enough to offset all shortcomings.

And—

Hawk glanced at Caroline, shook his head at his fiancée's gaze, and said: "Vampire conversion is irreversible, and even if I could, you wouldn't want me to change her back."

Gwen frowned.

"Why?"

"She was already dead before the conversion, remember? That's what triggered the vampire conversion program to resurrect her."

"..."

Gwen remembered the conversion process Caroline had told her about and looked at Caroline, who was also very resistant to changing back to an ordinary person.

Just then.

The phone rang.

Gwen took out her phone, glanced at it, and handed it to Hawk: "It's Natasha's."

Hawk reached out to take it, stood up from the sofa, and put the phone to his ear.

"Natasha."

"G... Hawk, the results are out."

"You were right."

"The DNA telomere length of the Dr. Merrick we caught doesn't match normal DNA length."

"His bone age test is also not right."

"Although the Dr. Merrick we caught looks exactly the same as the Dr. Merrick in the database from an external examination, his bones have no bone damage, and there aren't even any subtle traces left during his life."

"His bones are as smooth as a baby's who hasn't reached a month old."

Natasha, at S. H. I. E. L. D. headquarters, looked at the two test results displayed on the computer screen in front of her and talked to Hawk in disbelief: "But I can't understand, you said clones don't have souls, but he has a soul."

Hawk smiled.

"Clones indeed shouldn't have souls."

"Then he..."

"I already know the reason."

"What?"

Natasha was slightly stunned, a bit curious. Hawk wasn't on vacation in Georgia, so how did he suddenly know the reason?

Hawk smiled and didn't hide it from S. H. I. E. L. D.: "It has to do with the dimensional war. As for why I was dragged into it, I'm still investigating. Once I find out, when you ask me again, I'll tell you."

Dimensional war?

Natasha knew about dimensions, but not much, but she understood war.

She instantly became alert inside.

"Does S. H. I. E. L. D. need to do anything?"

"Not for now."

Hawk said with a smile: "Alright, that's it for now, hanging up."

Having said that.

He hung up the phone directly, then looked at the lawn, which was gradually brightening with the rising sun.

Entering his view.

With the rising sun, Damon, who was restrained in place, also ushered in the end of his fate.

Wisps of smoke began to overflow from Damon's body.

Damon's mouth was wide open.

He seemed to want to shout, to scream, but his voice seemed to be sealed; one could only see his mouth open, but couldn't hear any sound.

Hawk glanced at Gwen, who had walked to his side, arms crossed, calmly watching all this.

"Do you want to hear his screams?"

"Will Grandpa be woken up?"

"No."

"... Forget it."

Gwen thought for a moment, shook her head, and then looked at Caroline: "This is a vampire, a vampire who will die completely if they lose that ring and are exposed to the sun. Do you still insist on wanting to be a vampire?"

Caroline looked at Damon on the lawn, his mouth wide open, his expression twisted, his whole body emitting rolling thick smoke, and then said to Gwen: "Cousin, the human Caroline is already dead."

Gwen looked at Caroline.

After a while.

She sighed, took out the daylight ring Hawk had just taken from Damon's hand from her pocket, grabbed Caroline's cold right hand, then slapped the ring into Caroline's palm, and looked at Caroline, her tone carrying a bit of helplessness.

"Remember to carry a spare ring with you."

"... Thank you, cousin."

Caroline looked at the daylight ring in her palm, listened to Gwen's words, was stunned at first, then reacted, looked up at Gwen, and revealed a brilliant smile.

Meanwhile.

Damon also disappeared from the lawn.

He disappeared in a physical sense, but compared to being directly vaporized by Hawk's Phoenix Ray, at least Damon, who was directly killed by ultraviolet rays, left traces of his existence on the lawn.

Stefan looked at the white marks left on the lawn with an inexplicable expression.

Elena also felt inexplicable inside.

Only the little black witch Bonnie looked at the white marks on the lawn, with only one thought in her heart.

Thank God, this scourge is finally gone.

God can testify that in Bonnie's view, the reason why the town had become disaster-ridden was largely because of Damon's provocation or causing trouble.

Now that Damon was dead, Bonnie truly felt that the troublesome things in Mystic Falls could instantly be reduced by more than ninety percent.

Gwen also withdrew her gaze and looked at Hawk: "I'm going back to the room to rest for a while."

Hawk arched a brow: "I'll accompany you."

Gwen smiled, didn't refuse, turned around, and walked toward the stairs.

Caroline, standing in place, seeing this, looked at the turning Gwen: "Cousin, then I..."

Hawk, on the side, glanced at Caroline.

"You should say thank you."

"Thank you."

Caroline subconsciously said thank you, and then looked at Hawk, who was following his cousin without looking back.

"Then I..."

"Do whatever you want, we are here to accompany Grandpa and go on vacation."

Hawk said without looking back, then caught up with Gwen, and walked toward their room with Gwen, preparing to seize the time to get some sleep. ===== CHAPTER 473 =====
