Chapter 488: Marvel: Awakening the Little Universe at the Start, Chapter 259

He saw it.

The interior of the mountain under his feet was completely hollowed out, forming a huge dome about a hundred meters high.

Platforms and corridors crisscrossed like a spider web, connecting one area to another.

There were no windows inside, no natural light, only artificial cold light illuminating everything.

There wasn't even any sound, only the breathing and footsteps of the crowd.

One laboratory staff member after another in white coats held tablets in their hands, without any communication with each other, not even eye contact, just looking at the cultivation pods in front of them, doing their records like robots.

And the one in the clone cultivation pod after another was none other than someone else.

It was Hawk.

So many Hawks.

There were Hawks of all age groups.

Hawk's Sixth Sense swept through them without any fluctuation. There was no anger in his heart, just a sense of absurdity that arose spontaneously.

The next second.

He didn't hesitate anymore.

Boom!

The moment Hawk looked down, the scorching Phoenix Ray shot out instantly. The moment it hit the ground under his feet, it instantly blasted out a very regular circular hole.

The large hole continued to extend inward with the shooting of the Phoenix Ray.

Hawk's body was also falling rapidly, until the moment of a bang, when the dome of the laboratory in the mountain shattered, accompanied by the Phoenix Ray descending from the sky, Hawk had already appeared and was suspended in this huge laboratory in the mountain.

The shrill alarm of the cloning base sounded instantly.

On the ground below, one expressionless experimental staff member after another heard the movement, and one after another followed their instincts, subconsciously looking up at Hawk suspended above their heads.

Their expressions still didn't change at all. Instead, after seeing Hawk, they revealed a trace of a smile, then turned around in unison, and without hesitation, pressed the self-destruct button in the clone cultivation pod in front of them.

The next moment.

Accompanied by a dazzling orange-red light, along with the flames that could no longer be suppressed in the clone pod, gushing out in an instant.

The explosion happened.

Boom, boom, boom, boom——

One orange-red flame after another, as if precisely timed, exploded the clone pods while swallowing the experimental staff in front of them who seemed to have no fear of death, and subsequently, connected with the explosion flames opposite, forming even more terrifying flames, and began to sweep through this huge clone cultivation area.

In just the blink of an eye, the entire clone cultivation area was instantly filled with flames, and then, as if finding a vent, it went up rapidly, and through the thief hole that Hawk had just blasted, it whistled and rushed out.

The flames were as eye-catching as a torch on the highest peak of Wailau Valley.

Hawk didn't stop any of this.

Because even if these people didn't self-destruct here, he would have. In the eyes of these people's self-destruction, it even saved him from doing it himself.

Besides.

A group of small fries, he didn't have the mood to talk to them either.

Surrounded by flames, but the flames couldn't hurt him in the slightest, Hawk was suspended in the flames, his gaze looking at the gates that fell one after another around the clone cultivation area the moment the alarm sounded. After scanning a circle, he precisely locked onto one of the gates.

"Eye Impact!"

"Boom!"

The gate shattered in response, and the flames raging in the clone cultivation area seemed to have found a vent again, like a fire dragon, the moment the gate opened, it whistled and rushed towards the passage behind the gate.

The next second.

Shrieking screams came from the passage. Eight security personnel holding weapons, who had just arrived at the passage when the alarm sounded, faced the flames rushing in, instantly turned into little fire people, subconsciously dropped the weapons in their hands, shouted and screamed, and turned around to run back desperately.

This gate led to the clone memory infusion area.

Rows of clones sat on special chairs, helmet-style devices covered their brains, their eyes turned rapidly under their eyelids, and their facial muscles twitched occasionally.

Like the clone cultivation area, there were also staff members in white coats here.

However, the staff here were more human. Although they also heard the alarm and explosion coming from the clone cultivation area, they were still talking and laughing, as if they hadn't been affected at all.

Until—

Six little fire people screamed and opened the gate, stumbling out of the passage. This change finally scared the experimental staff inside.

The first little fire person to walk out had already fallen to the ground, that flaming right hand raised high in a dying struggle, his throat wriggling, as if wanting to ask for help.

But he couldn't say any words anymore.

The most important point.

Hawk also came.

Bang!

Under the scorching Phoenix Ray, the little fire person who tried to ask for help was vaporized on the spot. Hawk, who hadn't had time to change his clothes, was still in a suit and looked very gentlemanly, looked at the experimental staff in this memory infusion area who were looking at him one after another with shocked expressions, and smiled slightly: "Surprise!"

While speaking.

Hawk's eyes instantly turned crimson again, and the scorching Phoenix Ray instantly covered this already bright area with a layer of crimson veil.

Ten seconds later.

The memory infusion area also became clean, with no clones, no experimental staff, and even no corpses, only rows of clone chairs and various electronic devices dropped on the ground proving that there had been many people here.

Many, many people.

Hawk grabbed something on a clone chair that looked very much like a VR device, raised an eyebrow, and then put it on his head.

Instantly.

Scenes flashed rapidly like slides: a baby just born and thrown at the door of a church, a child singing in the church choir, a child living in a foster welfare family, and then a boy kneeling in the ruins, roaring powerlessly, swearing to become stronger……

This is his memory.

But……

It has been modified, it is similar but different, as if someone specifically conducted a detailed examination of his past, and then made it themselves based on the information obtained.

Hawk took off the helmet and threw it to the side.

He only used two words to describe this fabricated memory.

Idiot.

Just then, dazzling red light instantly spread throughout the entire memory cloning area.

Hawk's heart moved, and his figure instantly disappeared on the spot.

The next second.

Boom!

The violent explosion destroyed the entire memory infusion area in an instant like a volcanic eruption.

"Did it succeed?"

In the most hidden silver room that connected the entire mountain like a spider web, the huge screen showed the memory infusion area being swallowed by flames at this moment.

A thin and tall Dr. Merrick, wearing glasses, looking a bit scholarly, and wearing a white coat, hurriedly asked.

The technical staff sitting in front of the computer didn't speak, but retrieved the ubiquitous monitoring of the memory infusion area, captured Hawk, who was still in place in the previous frame and gone in the next frame the moment the explosion occurred, turned his head to look at Dr. Merrick, whose expression was filled with panic and expectation, and shook his head.

"No!"

"Where did he go?"

"……Dormant area."

The technical staff put his hands on the keyboard, constantly switching the monitoring of one area after another, and finally the screen on the big screen locked onto the clone dormant area.

Hundreds or thousands of clones were standing quietly in transparent pods at this moment, naked, like exhibits in a museum, and also like tools waiting to be used, their breathing slow, their heartbeats maintained at the lowest level to ensure they wouldn't die.

And Hawk, the real Hawk, was in the dormant area.

Hawk's figure shuttled rapidly through the entire clone dormant area that looked like a warehouse, and finally stood in the very center of the warehouse, his gaze scanning the surroundings, the densely packed dormant pods, and himself who seemed to be sleeping inside.

Just then.

A sound of "Zi".

Hawk subconsciously looked up, looking at a certain place that suddenly made a sound.

The next second.

Dr. Merrick's voice resounded over the clone dormant area through the loudspeaker.

"Mr. Hawk Phoenix, I didn't expect you to really find this place."

"……Merrick?"

"It's me."

"Heh."

Hawk chuckled and looked in the direction the sound came from: "You are quite good. I thought at this time, you should have already fled for your life in a panic."

Dr. Merrick laughed.

"Why should I flee? You might be scary, Mr. Phoenix, but I have God's favor, I serve God."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, otherwise why do you think my cloning technology would succeed while others wouldn't? Because I received God's oracle and guidance. This world is filthy, God has come, he wants to evolve the entire world."

"Then you had better pray that when I catch you, your God can come out to save you."

After Hawk finished speaking, the Phoenix Ray shot out, and with a bang, it pierced the loudspeaker hanging on the wall, and then pressed down the Phoenix Ray, starting to scan here indiscriminately.

One clone dormant pod after another was vaporized on the spot under the Phoenix Ray, including the clones inside that were maintaining the lowest survival conditions.

In just the blink of an eye, the warehouse that was still filled with densely packed clone dormant pods in the previous second became empty enough to run horses in the next second.

"Hiss!"

Dr. Merrick, who was in the command center of the Eden base, which he ordered to be, looked at Hawk standing in the empty warehouse on the big screen and gasped. He didn't hesitate at all and immediately ordered.

"Activate Hydra Captain."

"Yes!"

"Put on the replicated Iron Man suit too."

"Understood."

Hydra Captain was the most successful Hawk clone they had studied so far. Originally there were six clones before, but they all died due to various clone parameters being too small or too high the moment they were successfully activated.

And all their subsequent clones were based on the Hydra Captain, which they had perfectly cloned, for further cloning experiments.

Soon.

Just as Hawk had finished cleaning up another area and was preparing to turn and leave, suddenly, not far away, the ground cracked, and immediately after, a clone dormant pod hidden underground appeared.

Accompanied by the gushing of countless mists in the dormant pod, the No. 7 android inside suddenly opened its eyes.

The next second.

The moment the No. 7 android walked out of the dormant pod, the ground under its feet cracked again, and a life-sized suit opened towards the No. 7 android.

Hawk watched this scene, stopped his footsteps preparing to leave, and looked at the clone in front of him, who was wearing the Iron Man suit, looking at him with a pair of eyes glowing with green light hidden under the mask.

Dr. Merrick's voice sounded again.

"Mr. Phoenix, let me introduce you, Hydra Captain, my Hawk!"

"Hydra Captain?"

Hawk looked up, looking in the direction Dr. Merrick's voice came from: "So, you cooperate with God, and also cooperate with Hydra?"

Dr. Merrick said with a smile: "I know what you want to say, Mr. Phoenix. You think Hydra is bad, but God doesn't think so. My cooperation with Hydra was permitted by God."

Hawk raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, what did God tell you."

"God said that the Earth has been occupied by demons, it needs to be evolved, he pardons Hydra's mistakes."

"Is that so?" ===== CHAPTER 490 =====
