Chapter 992

~7 min read 1,324 words

The reason why he hasn't died yet is because he contracted his own timeline, and there are enough loopholes on his timeline.

But...

Death is a matter of time.

Hawkeye said this while leaning against the metal pillar behind him.

Professor X heard Hawkeye's light and breezy words, couldn't help but be stunned, and also supported his own body and sat up on the metal ground.

"Can't you stop him?"

"No."

"..."

Professor X opened his mouth, and the image of Hawkeye and Apocalypse's entire conversation, which he had watched from the side even though he was controlled by Apocalypse just now, flashed through his mind: "But you just looked like you didn't mind Apocalypse entering your timeline at all."

Hawkeye smiled slightly.

"Otherwise? Cry bitterly, kneel down and beg for mercy, and pray for Apocalypse to let me go?"

"Uh..."

Professor X was silent after hearing Hawkeye's words.

Hawkeye looked at the young Professor X and laughed again: "Besides, death is death; it's nothing big."

It's not like he hasn't died before.

Before, when he was fighting Malekith the Accursed at Stonehenge in London, he had been killed by Malekith.

Although there were intentional factors from Hawkeye in that death.

But...

He had indeed died once and experienced the feeling of true death, so, dying again right now was nothing big for Hawkeye.

Professor X was silent again in response to the expression on Hawkeye's face.

Hawkeye didn't speak anymore.

He felt the pain that was just like what Apocalypse said, "making every breath of yours painful to the heart," and the last sentence Apocalypse said when he was drilling into his timeline surfaced in his mind.

The next second.

Hawkeye endured the pain, took a deep breath, leaned against the metal pillar behind him, and his gaze fell into the void in front of him, as if looking at someone.

"Death!"

"Come out; Apocalypse has already sold you out."

"..."

Professor X to the side heard this sudden sentence from Hawkeye, was stunned again, and was just wondering if this was Hawkeye's last words before death, when his powerful psychic power sensed something wrong, and he turned his head to look where Hawkeye's gaze was fixed.

In sight!

As Hawkeye's words fell, the flow of time in the space in front of them seemed to become viscous at this moment.

And in Professor X's perception, the space in front of him was dying.

Dying in the true sense.

And the moment this space completely died, a woman appeared silently, as if she had been there from the beginning.

But Professor X didn't see this scene.

Hawkeye saw it very clearly.

Her robe was woven from the laws of death, and on her pale face was an indescribable coldness and perfection. The moment she looked up, her exquisite face and terrifying skull face flickered alternately, and pale flames jumped in her eyes.

The white flame is the color of the soul burning when it is ignited.

The person who came is the embodiment of the sum of all souls in the Marvel main multiverse.

One of the five great creation gods of Marvel.

Death!

Ding!

The moment Death's bare feet touched the metal floor, it made Professor X feel his soul trembling.

Immediately after.

A pitch-black throne appeared behind Death, and Death then sat down elegantly under Hawkeye's gaze, and then her eyes, burning with pale fire, met Hawkeye, who was leaning against the metal pillar.

Death's voice was still cold, carrying a hint of charm that was enough to make the soul tremble.

"Hello, Hawkeye, we meet again."

"Heh!"

Hawkeye, leaning against the metal pillar, chuckled, then glanced at his time galaxy above, and then looked at Death.

"Apocalypse, you woke him up?"

"Yes."

Death said with a smile: "I discovered you came to this universe, so I prepared a surprise specially for you. How is it? Is it a surprise?"

Professor X, who was sitting on the ground, stared fixedly at the location where Hawkeye was looking.

But...

He could sense dense death at the location where Death was, but couldn't see anything at all.

But Professor X could be certain of one point.

Someone had come.

And he couldn't see a thing, whether with his naked eye or his psychic power.

Death?

Who is this??

Professor X's thoughts turned.

Hawkeye nodded.

"Flattered."

"Really? I don't believe it."

Death, leaning on her throne, supported her chin with one hand, looking at Hawkeye with a smiling face: "Why do I feel like you knew I was behind it a long time ago."

Hawkeye shook his head.

"Not that long ago; I only felt it was you when I came here and saw Apocalypse."

"How did you discover it?"

"Aura."

"Your energy was shielded."

"Indeed."

Hawkeye nodded, then met Death's eyes, which were burning with pale fire: "But your aura is hard for me to forget even if I want to."

Death smiled upon hearing this.

"Since you guessed I was hiding behind the scenes, why did you still come in?"

"An old friend invited me, so I had to come in and take a look, and have a gathering."

Hawkeye said in a calm tone.

After he finished this sentence, the expression on his face instantly became distorted, and he endured the pain that was even more intense than before, not letting himself scream.

Death looked at this scene, the smile on her face disappeared, and her expression became serious.

"Apocalypse is eliminating you on every timeline."

"Isn't it you who is eliminating me?"

Hawkeye took a deep breath after this wave of great pain passed: "But can I ask why?"

Death shrugged.

"Give you a lesson."

"What lesson?"

Hawkeye frowned slightly: "Mephisto?"

Death waved her hand directly upon hearing this: "There are plenty of lords who help me maintain the order of death. Among the many lords, Mephisto is indeed quite special, but it's only special relative to other lords."

Hawkeye listened to this sentence, and his thoughts turned again.

The next second.

Hawkeye laughed.

He looked at Death, and then said a name.

"Agatha?"

Witch Agatha Harkness, a witch who had lived for hundreds of years, belonged to the Salem witch group, was found by Hawkeye when he was looking for a way to travel through the multiverse, and then discovered it wasn't applicable, and then became the witch who was Wanda's mentor.

But...

Agatha also had another identity.

Let's put it this way!

She has a child with Death.

Yes.

The witch Agatha and Death, one of the five great creation gods of the Marvel main multiverse, have a child.

Death smiled slightly after Hawkeye said the name "Agatha" and didn't speak.

Sure enough.

Guessed right.

Seeing this, Hawkeye laughed and shook his head: "The Agatha in my universe doesn't seem to be your Agatha."

Death said with a smile: "Didn't you also avenge yourself in the 616 universe?"

Alright.

This reason is very strong.

Hawkeye secretly said in his heart, shook his head: "I didn't kill her."

Death shrugged.

"But you imprisoned her."

"Not me, it was S. H. I. E. L. D."

"You brought her to S. H. I. E. L. D."

"... Alright."

As everyone knows.

Trying to reason with a woman is in itself not a very rational thing.

Hawkeye decisively chose to stop this topic and looked at Death: "After I go back, the Agatha in my universe will have no need to live."

Death smiled slightly.

"The premise is that you can live; you are about to die, and your soul is about to belong to me."

"Did you forget my divine power?"

"I know very well, but Apocalypse is killing you on every timeline. After all the yous on the timeline are dead, guess what, can you still be resurrected?"

"..."

Hawkeye didn't answer this question from Death upon hearing it, but asked back with a calm expression: "So, we are not friends, but enemies?"

A bright smile appeared on Death's face again.
