Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 125 Hawk's First Rebirth (Fourth update, please subscribe!)
Peter was a man of few words.

Thor was somewhat embarrassed.

He originally came down to stop Malekith, but when he arrived, he found that Malekith and Hawk, who had saved his girlfriend and also possessed the Aether, were not there.

If he were left here alone, that would be fine.

The key issue is that there's a stranger next to him, and this stranger doesn't seem to like talking to him.

Thor was considering leaving.

but……

This is the node where the Nine Realms converge. Although we don't know where Malekith and Hawk went, if they left from here, there's a high probability they'll reappear here as well.

Thor, lost in thought, glanced at the silent Peter beside him, and then, as if struck by a sudden thought, chuckled, "By the way, do you know Tony Stark? I fought alongside him in New York."

Mr. Tony Stark?
Peter looked up at Saul: "He's a billionaire."

Thor frowned.

"Then……"

“I am poor. I know him, but he doesn’t know me.”

"hiss!"

Thor gasped at Peter's calm reply, then his eyes lit up and he said to Peter, "Hulk, you know Hulk, right?"

The Hulk who was killed twice by Hawke?
Peter, his expression somewhat strange beneath the spider mask, looked at Thor and nodded.

"know."

"Great."

Thor's expression brightened, and just as he was about to tell Peter that he and Hulk were also good friends, three black Chevrolet SUVs drove up behind him from the direction of the London police.

Natasha and Hawkeye got out of the black Chevrolet SUV, glanced at Thor and Spider-Man, their good neighbor from New York City, standing on the other side of Stonehenge, then walked over.

"Thor!"

"Natasha."

Thor turned to look at the familiar faces approaching, his eyes lighting up. After greeting them, he continued to say to the taciturn Peter, "By the way, I'm not only Hulk's friend, they're my friends too. When your friend Hawke comes back, we can get together."

Hulk's friend?
How about meeting up with Hawke?
Peter's expression was extremely strange.

But he was wearing a hood, so no one could see his strange expressions, or even if he made a face.

Natasha's expression turned strange upon hearing Thor's words. She whispered to Thor, who seemed to have finally broken the awkward silence because of the arrival of an acquaintance, "Um, Thor, Hulk is dead."

Thor's expression froze instantly.

He looked at Natasha: "What, dead? What happened?"

Natasha glanced at Peter Parker, who stood silently to the side, ostensibly Spider-Man, the good neighbor of New York City, but secretly Hawk's good friend, and then said to Thor, "Hulk killed Hawk's sister in the great battle with Abomination. At the end of last year, the year you left, Hawk found Hulk and killed him."

Thor gasped instantly and instinctively looked at Peter.

Peter met Saul's gaze, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"hiss!"

"Bruce is dead?"

"Uh……"

Hawkeye thought for a moment and then explained the latest timeline to Thor: "He didn't die at first, but later Betty Ross wanted to avenge her father, so she tried to kidnap Hawk's girlfriend. Then she was exposed and killed by Hawk. After that, Dr. Bruce Banner went to Africa to avenge his wife and found Hawk, and then he died too."

Hawkeye paused, then looked at Thor, who had a somewhat bewildered expression, and added, "Hulk and Bruce are both dead."

He and Natasha had just returned from Africa to rest, so they knew about Hawke's epic battle with Hellish Hulk on the African savanna.

They had just been resting in London when they received news from S.H.I.E.L.D. that Thor had appeared at Stonehenge, which is why they rushed here.

Thor listened to Hawkeye's explanation with a somewhat confused look in his eyes.

He felt like he had only been gone for a year, but listening to Hawkeye's explanation, he felt like he had been gone for much longer than a year.

Hulk is dead?

So sudden?

Thor realized what was going on, shook his head, and looked at Natasha: "So, who is this Hawk? Is he some kind of bastard son of a god?"

He had dealt with the Hulk before, so he knew the Hulk's strength very well.

In a word.

There is no human being capable of defeating the Hulk.

Unless he is a demigod, after all, he told his father that long ago, the gods of the universe liked to come to Earth to find human women for a beautiful encounter.

Isn't he the same way?

Natasha opened her mouth, just about to tell Thor that Hawk was just an ordinary person, but they didn't yet know the source of Hawk's power.

suddenly.

A powerful surge of energy emanated from Stonehenge.

next second.

boom!
Hawk, bathed in the magma of Muspelheim, the land of the fire giants, suddenly emerged from Stonehenge, then crashed to the ground like a meteor, leaving a trail of fire about one kilometer long on the grass.

At the end of the flames was Hawk, whose Saint Cloth was already dim, cracked, and broken.

As for Malekith?

He wasn't having an easy time either. When Malekith, who originally only had his left cheek disfigured, reappeared, his right cheek was also disfigured.

However, compared to Hawke, whose Saint Cloth was shattered, they were clearly in the advantageous position.

"brat."

"Hand over the Ether."

Malekith, now completely disfigured, has lost all his gentlemanly demeanor.

The energy fluctuations from the convergence of the Nine Realms are growing stronger. If he cannot use the Ether Particles to turn the entire Nine Realms into a dark world at the moment of convergence, then he will have to wait another thousand years.

Hawke struggled to his feet, blood trickling from his forehead, and looked at Malekith walking towards him. His answer remained the same.

"Unless you kill me."

"Okay, I'll make it happen for you!"

Malekith gritted his teeth, a ferocious smile flashing across his disfigured face. He opened his right hand, and between his five fingers, the ether particles resembled a pulsating dark red heart.

Thor, who was standing to the side, snapped out of his shock.

"Malekith!"

He gripped Thor's hammer tightly, roared at Malekith who had appeared, and then leaped forward, smashing the hammer at Malekith who appeared in front of Hawke, intending to perform brain surgery on Malekith.

Hawke threw a right punch.

It wasn't aimed at Malekith, but at Thor leaping through the air.

Boom!

Malekith was stunned.

Peter was also stunned.

Natasha and Hawkeye were stunned by what they saw.

Not to mention Thor.

Thor landed, several fist-shaped marks still visible on his armor, and roared at Hawke, "What are you doing!"

Hawke, expressionless, looked at Malekith before him and answered Thor's question.

"he's mine."

"you want?"

"Go in line."

He's finally made it this far.

Stealing people's heads?
How can this be allowed?

As Hawke spoke, he glanced at Thor, then with a thud, he stomped out a deep crater and launched another attack on Malekith.

"Come and fight!"

"Hehehe, you asked for it."

Malekith, his face completely disfigured, grinned savagely as he looked at Hawk, who was attacking him, as if he were a dead man. Then, he clenched his right fist, filling it with ether particles. The moment he made contact with Hawk, he instantly made the air around Hawk indestructible.

Just as Hawke's movements slowed, Malekith's fist, covered in aether particles, slammed directly into Hawke's Saint Cloth breastplate.

Click!

A crisp sound of armor breaking rang out.

puff!
Hawke's face flushed red, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

boom!
Hawk was sent flying backward once again, his upper body armor completely collapsing and disintegrating. As Hawk flew backward, he fell like a dead firefly.

Malekith used the Aether Particles to modify the durability of Hawk's Cloth, changing it from "indestructible" to "as fragile as a mirror".

If it were a genuine Gold Cloth, it wouldn't be like this.

After all, the true Gold Cloth possesses the power to withstand the sun's flames for hundreds or even thousands of years.

This is why the Gold Cloth is gold.

The gold color of the Gold Cloth is the light of the sun. If Malekith wanted to modify a real Gold Cloth, he probably couldn't do it even if he drained it dry.

But what is Hawke wearing right now?

It looks golden, but the layers haven't changed.

and so……

The Saint Cloth has collapsed!
boom!
Hawke, who was sent flying backward again, did not fall to the ground. Instead, his feet landed on the ground, and he remained standing.

but……

The agonizing screams of the Saint Cloth shattering, the excruciating pain of his body being torn apart, were now transmitted with unparalleled clarity into Hawke's mind.

His upper body, after his Saint Cloth shattered, was covered in countless wounds, from which blood that looked somewhat golden and shimmered like stars was oozing out.

Boom!
Boom!
Hawke could even feel his heartbeat slowly decreasing at a perceptible pace.

This reminded him of the time at the bottom of Lake Culver when he was almost knocked into Nirvana by the Hulk.

But that time it almost happened.

This time, it's truly a rebirth.

In the small universe.

The phantom of the phoenix has appeared, its wings spread wide, burning with raging flames.

The Nirvana process has been initiated.

but……

What happened to the supposed sudden enlightenment of the sixth sense between life and death?

I'm about to die, where's my sixth sense?

Even though his life was nearing its end, Hawke showed no fear of death, perhaps because he knew he wouldn't die, so it wasn't a matter of life and death for him.

Hawke's thoughts raced rapidly in his final moments. With his eyes, blurred by blood, he struggled to look up at Malekith and sighed.

Peter, who was watching the battle from a short distance away, felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

next second.

Hawke closed his eyes under the watchful eyes of Malekith and the others.

next second!
The moment he closed his eyes.

A change has occurred!
