Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 121 The Manifestation of Bronze-Level Combat Power (Fourth Update, Seeking Full Subscription!)
Without hesitation, Jane counted to three, and at that very moment, her right fingertip touched the sealed ether particle.

next second.

Like viscous blood, seemingly living ether particles swarmed out and enveloped Jane's fingers almost instantly.

In less than a moment, a third of the ether particles surged into Jane's body like a tidal wave.

at the same time.

The moment Jane counted to three, Hawke arrived at Jane's side as quickly as possible.

The moment he set off, the device sealing the ether particles began to crackle with electric arcs, intending to blast this outsider who had trespassed into the sealed land to death on the spot.

but……

Just as the device's electric arc was about to be released, all the ether particles in the sealed land had already escaped.

With a loud bang, the device sealing the ether particles closed instantly.

The successful escape of the sealed object naturally symbolizes the breaking of the seal.

moment.

The sealing device malfunctioned, and the ether particles that escaped from the sealed land frantically tried to rush into Jane's body. Just then, Hawke appeared, pushed Jane away, and intercepted the remaining two-thirds of the ether particles.

Wow!
Dark red, viscous blood-like ether particles swarmed in, seemingly alive, and began to engulf every corner of Hawke's body like a surging tide.

The side effects of Reality Gem.

Parasitism, draining the user's life force.

The ether particles that have entered Hawke's body are absorbing his life force at an insatiable rate.

next moment.

Hawke opened his inner universe, and with a thought, the viscous and scorching ether particles instantly crashed into his inner universe like a tidal wave.

In an instant.

The microcosm, struck by the crimson ether particles that surged like a tide, was like a calm lake tossed with a boulder.

After the ether particles fell into the microcosm, they spread out to every corner of the microcosm like ripples on a calm lake.

at this time.

A phoenix cry rang out, and the Phoenix Heart, which had merged with Hawke's microcosm, opened its eyes. Amidst the sweeping phoenix fire, the phoenix emerged from the flames, flapping its wings and crying out. In an instant, the scorching phoenix fire also swept across the entire microcosm.

The Phoenix Flame collided instantly with the liquefied ether particles of the Reality Gem.

"Wow—"

With the collision of the two, a crimson flame appeared, formed by the combination of the phoenix fire's crimson color and the ether particles' scarlet color.

"boom--"

With the appearance of the crimson flames, Hawke's cosmos once again witnessed a scene resembling the Big Bang.

The microcosm is distorted.

The universe is exploding.

Immediately afterwards——

The universe is expanding!

As the crimson flames, a result of the combination of the Phoenix Flame and the Aether Particles, spread rapidly, his microcosm was reborn in the blink of an eye.

A vast microcosm, almost geometrically larger than before, was born.

While Hawke was immersed in the new microcosm formed by the fusion of himself, the Phoenix Heart, and the Aether, an invisible singularity with crimson flames was born in the center of the Phoenix Cluster, 5.8 billion light-years away from Earth in the real universe.

It seems like this singularity is about to explode at any moment.

If this singularity explodes, a parallel universe will be born with the Phoenix Cluster as its core.

Meanwhile, even in a small country on Earth, a newborn girl's eyes were flashing with a crimson flame!
I don’t know how long it took.

Hawke, engrossed in his current cosmos, which was no less powerful than that of a Silver Saint, suddenly heard a tense, anxious, and uneasy call coming from beside him.

This is……

Gwen's?
Hawke's consciousness returned instantly.

next second.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Gwen, who was squatting beside him with a worried expression and tears welling up in her eyes.

Gwen stared in disbelief at Hawke, who had disappeared for more than four hours and then suddenly reappeared, now with sunken eyes and withered like a skeleton.

Hawke also noticed the abnormality in his body the moment he opened his eyes and raised his hand.

A thought came to my mind.

The Silver Phoenix's cosmos ignited instantly, and in a flash, under Gwen's gaze, Hawke, who had been withered and looked like a dried-up corpse with his life force about to be drained, was restored to his original state at the speed of an inflating balloon.

good news.

He obtained the Reality Stone, albeit only a portion of it. However, with the power of this portion of the Reality Stone, he was able to transform his previously weak Bronze Saint strength into a genuine Bronze Saint.

Simply put.

He has brought out 100% of his current strength.

bad news.

He only obtained a portion of the Reality Stone. To truly elevate and materialize his cosmos, he needed to collect the complete Reality Stone.

Hawke's thoughts raced as he got up from the ground with Gwen and comforted her as she threw herself into his arms.

As he comforted Gwen, he looked around and said, "Oh, right, where's Jane Foster?"

He's already out, so Jane Foster should be out by now.

Where are the people?

Gwen, nestled in his arms, looked up: "Dr. Fox? She arrived before you and has already gone out."

Upon hearing this, Hawke raised an eyebrow and, noticing the thunder rumbling outside, pulled Gwen along as they walked outside.

"How long have I been missing?"

"Four hours." "That's alright. Didn't I tell you I could only disappear for a maximum of six hours? I came out early, so why are you crying?"

"Do you want to see how you looked when you came out? I thought you'd been drained dry by a vampire."

"Sorry, I was wrong."

Hawke promptly apologized, stopping Gwen, who seemed to have started talking non-stop and looked resentful.

It's raining heavily outside right now.

Just as Hawke and Gwen were about to walk out of the building...

Hawke suddenly had a thought, and just as Jane's body erupted with etheric energy not far away, he turned on his toes and pulled Gwen into his arms.

boom!
Energy from Jane's body erupted from the etheric particles' self-protection mechanism, sweeping around and instantly sending the three London police officers who were trying to arrest her flying.

Upon seeing this, Thor rushed over, hugged Jane tightly, and then looked up instantly.

next moment.

A dazzling, seven-colored pillar of light, composed entirely of energy, descended from the sky, enveloping Thor. As the Asgardian runes were imprinted on the ground, Thor and Jane vanished from the spot as the pillar of light disappeared.

Hawke stared silently at the rainbow bridge teleportation mark left on the ground in the distance.

next second.

He shook his head and chuckled.

Forget it.

Anyway, by tomorrow at the latest, that dark elf will come to Earth to find him.

Let the bullets fly for a while.

Hawke thought to himself, then looked at the torrential rain outside. With a thought, and following the flow of his inner cosmic energy, he pulled Gwen into the downpour.

Gwen is prepared to get soaked to the bone.

but……

She stared in disbelief at the torrential rain pouring down in front of her, then at the dry, rainless area within a foot of herself and Hawke.

next second.

Gwen remembered Hawke mentioning the Reality Stone before he disappeared, and her eyes lit up as she looked at Hawke.

"Hawk, you..."

"We got some of it."

Hawke didn't hide it from Gwen.

Although he only obtained a portion of it, it was still a part of the Reality Stone. While it wasn't enough for him to transform his own universe into the Golden Phoenix Universe, it was enough to modify the weather within a foot of him.

For example, making the weather within a foot of you sunny.

Hawke thought to himself, then turned his gaze away from the teleportation mark left on the ground in the distance and said to Gwen, "Let's go, let's go back."

Thor and Jane have already returned to Asgard.

Even if he desperately wanted the complete Reality Stone, there was nothing he could do about it.

But it doesn't matter.

By tomorrow at the latest, that leader of the dark elves, spicy shredded chicken...

Pooh.

Mr. Malekith will come to Earth to find what he wants.

After all, his Reality Stone was also incomplete.

An incomplete Reality Stone is not enough to help Malekith, the leader of the Dark Elves, realize his dream.

Hawke and Gwen's departure went unnoticed by Jane's assistant, Jane's assistant's assistant, and the London police officers who got up from the ground.

Because he once again used part of the Reality Stone to alter his own and Gwen's presence.

and so……

The two walked out of the police cordon without any trouble, then got into a taxi and returned to the hotel where the four of them were staying.

After receiving a text message from Gwen saying she was back, Mary immediately knocked on Gwen and Hawke's door.

"Gwen, give me a menstrual cup, I just had mine too."

"What menstrual cup?"

Gwen paused for a moment, then, as other expressions began to appear on Mary's face, she realized what was happening, chuckled, turned and went into the bedroom. She opened her suitcase, took out a box of menstrual cups she had brought from New York City, and then went out and handed them to Mary.

Mary took it, said thank you, and then looked around the empty room.

Where is Hawke?

"They went to the rooftop."

"Okay, shall we stick to the schedule tomorrow?"

"Uh……"

Gwen thought for a moment and said to Mary, "It should be according to plan. I'll wait for Hawke to come back and then confirm with him. By the way, have you eaten yet?"

Mary shrugged: "Didn't I call you an hour ago and tell you to eat first? Are you still outside?"

Gwen remembered.

She was still waiting for Hawke to disappear at that time.

Gwen smiled and apologized to Mary.

Mary didn't think much of it. After getting the menstrual cup, she left Gwen and Hawke's room and headed towards her and Peter's room.

Gwen closed the door and walked toward the elevator.
