Chapter 737: Marvel: Awakening the Little Universe at the Start, Chapter 401

Upon hearing this, Hawk nodded.

That's true.

To put it simply, although Earth had fallen from the World Tree, the relationship between Earth and the World Tree universe remained as inseparable as bone and tendon.

Now that Dormammu had descended upon the Eastern Hemisphere, bringing his Dark Dimension with him, the dark power manifesting from the Dark Dimension would naturally erode Asgard as well.

However...

Fortunately, Dormammu finally understood a thing or two and didn't descend while Hawk's wedding was in progress, but waited until the wedding and the banquet were already over.

It was now the stage of seeing off the guests.

After all, Gwen had already changed out of her wedding dress.

If Dormammu had arrived even a little earlier, Hawk would have exploded; he would have gone to Hong Kong regardless of the cost and beaten Dormammu's brains out.

Once again.

Gwen valued today's wedding very much, and Hawk also wanted to give Gwen a wedding that she would remember with nothing but happiness and smiles. Any accident would not only make Gwen bristle with anger but would also instantly ignite Hawk's fury.

As for now?

It was fine.

After all, the wedding was over, and the incident was happening in Hong Kong, on the other side of the Earth; the impact on New York City was actually not very significant.

Sharon and Thor's departure was just a small interlude. With the help of the Cloys and the Stacys, Hawk and Gwen followed the established plan and the schedule in Gwen's wedding booklet to send off everyone who had come to attend the wedding today.

However, Peter, as Hawk's best friend, did not leave.

Felicia had taken Ben Hawk Parker to help Gwen tidy up the things in the small room.

Hawk, meanwhile, was on the lawn with Peter, chatting while watching the catering company clear away their tables and chairs.

"Did Mary come to talk to you?"

"No."

Peter shook his head: "Mary and I are already over."

Hawk smiled: "I know, I was just afraid you didn't, after all, you and Felicia are doing very well right now."

As everyone knows.

No matter which version of Spider-Man it is, emotion always outweighs reason.

Hawk had watched how Peter attained his current happy life, so even for Peter's own sake, he would not allow Peter to destroy this hard-won happiness.

And at a wedding, when old friends who didn't end up together meet, if one is not careful, it is very easy for things to go wrong.

So!

Hawk felt it was necessary to remind Peter.

Peter naturally understood what Hawk meant, listening to Hawk's words: "Don't worry, I understand. Didn't you see today? I was either with you or with Felicia. I love Ben, and I love Felicia; I won't let them be sad."

Hawk gave a hum.

Just then.

His heart stirred, and he looked again in the direction of Hong Kong.

At this moment, Hong Kong had been completely shrouded in endless darkness, and the Kamar-Taj sanctum had exploded into a fireball.

But!

The Kamar-Taj sanctum remained in the state of having exploded into a fireball; it seemed that at this moment, time had been frozen.

And in this frozen time, a figure walked into the darkness without hesitation.

"Dormammu, I've come to bargain."

The light of the Time Stone within the Eye of Agamotto on his chest surged violently, and Shi Difen Strange, with the Time Ring circling his right arm, strode into the darkness.

Then...

He died!

And then...

He was resurrected again, shouting "Dormammu, I've come to bargain" again and again as he walked into the darkness.

Shi Difen Strange did not reverse his own time.

He simply created a loop for his own time every time he entered the Dark Dimension.

This was not modifying the past, but Doctor Strange artificially looping his own time within a closed time loop.

This was a Kamar-Taj time technique.

This kind of technique does not count as modifying the past; as long as one can pay the corresponding price, one can use the Time Stone to make one's own time loop.

The Ancient One retired.

Strange ascended, and as the next dimensional agent of the Vishanti, Doctor Strange now had a massive amount of energy as his backing.

This was also the source of confidence for Doctor Strange, who had been practicing for less than two and a half years, to dare to bargain with Dormammu, the Lord of the Dark Dimension.

In Hawk's eyes, the time loop created by Doctor Strange had been entered countless times.

But that was because Hawk had already contracted his own time and would not be disturbed by others' time.

However, to others, or rather in the perception of time, Doctor Strange only entered the Dark Dimension once.

Then...

One battle settled the outcome.

Dormammu roared in anger, unwillingly took away his followers, and then left Earth without hesitation.

But Hong Kong at this moment, especially the street where the Kamar-Taj sanctum was located, had already become a ruin.

The next second.

Doctor Strange hovered directly above these ruins, and the Time Stone in the Eye of Agamotto on his chest bloomed with an emerald light that one could not look directly at.

That radiance was not shining, but flowing, like a green stream possessing life, beginning to surge in all directions with him as the center.

In an instant.

The frozen time suddenly began to turn.

But not forward.

It was backward!

Time reversal!

The exploded Kamar-Taj rapidly contracted inward, and the huge fireball also disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A skyscraper in the distance that had been cut in half, the billions of pieces of glass, bricks, and metal components that had collapsed, after the emerald time light flowed over them, broke free from gravity from the static ruins and precisely flew back along the trajectory of their fall.

The dust filling the sky also rapidly gathered from its diffused state.

The twisted steel bars emitted a dull metallic sound, stretching and straightening themselves, re-embedding into their original positions.

The chasms torn in the street closed rapidly like wounds.

The cracks on the asphalt road retracted like water ripples and disappeared without a trace.

The overturned bus slowly bulged and reset from its crushed and deformed state, finally landing steadily back on the road, with even the scratches on the car body being smoothed out one by one.

A woman whose body had been pierced by a steel bar saw the sharp steel bar piercing her chest slowly pulled out, and the blood did not flow out, but counter-intuitively flowed back into the woman's body.

Almost at the moment the woman's blood flowed back, the wound on her chest seemed to be brushed by an invisible hand, and then disappeared without a trace.

It was just a momentary effort.

Hong Kong had returned to the appearance it had before the darkness arrived.

And in reality, to everyone, it just seemed that a large area of darkness had suddenly appeared over Hong Kong, but nothing had happened.

The darkness came, and then, the darkness left.

Only...

"Hiss!"

"Time..."

Hawk, who had contracted his own time and was already level with the timeline, gasped as he watched Doctor Strange reverse time.

Good heavens.

The principle that time cannot be changed had disappeared?

What about the promise that the past cannot be changed?

What have you done?

Shi Difen Strange.

Hawk was shocked inside.

Just then.

Peter, who was standing with Hawk, suddenly felt something was wrong.

He subconsciously covered his chest and then looked at Hawk.

"Hawk..."

"Peter!"

Hawk came back to his senses, looked at Peter, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink rapidly.

In his line of sight, Peter seemed to be moving away from him.

Peter opened his mouth.

"I feel something is wrong."

"What's the situation?"

Hawk supported Peter, his thoughts turning rapidly.

Just then.

Gwen, in the room on the left side of the church, also shouted for Hawk.

Hawk supported Peter and appeared in the room instantly.

Coming into view.

Gwen was currently also supporting Felicia, who was feeling that something was wrong.

"Hawk, Felicia..."

Gwen looked at Hawk who had entered the room, just as she was about to speak.

It was as if a breeze had blown past.

Peter Parker.

Felicia Hardy.

And...

Ben Hawk Parker seemed to have disappeared from Hawk and Gwen's sight as if they had never existed.
