Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 131 Hawk's Ascension, Thor's Descendance (Revised) (Fourth update, please vote!)
It is the Soul Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones.

Its capabilities are undoubtedly powerful.

Its primary function is to manipulate the soul of life; it is also adept at perceiving, stealing, and imprisoning souls; and entering the world of the soul is its core function.

However, the method to obtain it is extremely unusual and cruel.

Of course.

This is in relation to Hawke.

To obtain the Soul Gem, one must offer the soul of a beloved person as a sacrifice; only then will the Soul Gem appear.

and so……

Forget it.

I should just stick to leveling up and fighting monsters, try to awaken the Eighth Sense as soon as possible, comprehend the concept of life and death, and run to Hell to snatch my sister's soul back from Mephisto.

Hawke, having decisively banished the idea of ​​finding the Soul Stone, washed his hands at Gwen's urging from outside and then turned and left the bathroom.

When the two left the room and walked into the hotel lobby, Mary and Peter were already waiting for them.

In a word.

They came to London for tourism, not to sleep in London.

This is not.

Hawke and Gwen, under pressure from Mary's repeated calls in the group chat, had no choice but to get out of bed and continue their discussion about their trip to London.

travel!

In contrast, Natasha and Agent Hawkeye Barton, who had finally arrived in London from Africa to rest and recuperate, were not so interested.

They are still working overtime on Salisbury Plain.

Hawke, having soloed the strongest boss, Malekith, the leader of the Dark Elves, packed his bags and left.

One person, with a hammer, quickly defeated Thor, the Dark Elf who came to avenge his leader at the last moment, and then left without a second thought.

But they can leave, while Natasha and Hawkeye Barton can't.

after all……

Natasha covered her forehead and looked around at the dark elf corpses scattered on the ground, the huge chasm in the distance, and the golden fragments of the Saint Cloth scattered everywhere.

In short, it was a complete mess.

Fortunately, although they called it "cleaning up," they were actually mainly just watching, because the S.H.I.E.L.D. cleanup team was already on standby from the moment the incident occurred.

At this moment, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents from the cleanup team were like busy little bees, working in pairs. Some were responsible for putting the bodies into body bags, some were responsible for removing the equipment from the bodies, and some were responsible for picking up the fallen bodies. At the same time, several groups of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were concentrating on picking up the golden fragments of the Saint Cloth that had fallen on the plain.

Natasha only needs to supervise the whole process.

After all, it's clearly beneath the status of a high-level agent to personally engage in tasks like picking up trash.

Hawkeye Barton, who had just finished his phone call, returned.

Natasha covered her forehead, shielding her eyes from the direct afternoon sun, and squinted at Barton as he returned, saying with a smile, "Laura, are you very angry that you can't come back today?"

Laura Barton.

Hawkeye Barton's wife. Barton kept his wife very well hidden; fewer than five people in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. knew that he was married and had children.

Barton sighed. "There's no way around it, work is important."

Natasha shook her head, knowing that Barton didn't want to talk too much about his family in public, and decisively changed the subject.

Where is Thor?

"He left and told his girlfriend that he would be back soon."

"The last time he said he would be back soon was during the game in New York last year."

"I know."

"Hawk?"

"The London intelligence agency reports that four people have just bought tickets to enter the museum."

"……All right."

Natasha's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this: "I had also planned to visit the museum today."

Barton sighed. "I know. Don't forget, I bought the tickets in advance."

Natasha frowned.

Can I get a refund for the ticket?

"I can't."

"..."

Natasha and Barton exchanged a glance, then looked simultaneously at the still-chaotic Salisbury Plain before them, utterly speechless.

But in a corner of their line of sight that neither of them noticed.

A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent glanced quickly at Natasha and Barton chatting in the distance, then picked up a bloodstained golden shard from the ground and swiftly put it into his pocket.

His movements were very discreet. After doing all this, he quickly returned to normal and ran to another place to continue picking up the fallen gold fragments.

The cleanup work on Salisbury Plain continued until nightfall.

Hawke and his three companions had returned from the museum and, after having dinner at the hotel's buffet restaurant, went back to their rooms to sleep.

Because they are moving their position tomorrow.

After all, their trip was planned for a full fifteen days, and in addition to London, other attractions in the surrounding area were also on Mary and Gwen's travel itinerary.

and so……

The next morning, Hawke and his companions got up early, checked out of their hotel, and headed straight for Rochester.

Rochester Castle, nestled in this historic town, was also part of Gwen and Mary's travel plans.

Having obtained the Reality Stone and completely removed the obstacles to his future progress, Hawke no longer thought about anything else and focused on traveling with Gwen, Mary, and Peter.

In the blink of an eye.

Their trip to London and the surrounding area was coming to an end. Hawke and his three companions returned to their hotel the day before they needed to catch their flight back to New York City.

Gwen and Mary sat together on the living room sofa, intently organizing the photos they had taken on their trip.

Peter went out.

A few days ago, Felicia Hardy learned that Peter had gone to London and called to ask him to go to Harry's old apartment in London. There was a photo album there, and Felicia Hardy hoped that Peter could help bring it back.

Hawke stood alone on the balcony, his mind lost in his own little universe.

The Reality Gem transformed into the eyes of a phoenix, radiating crimson flames that illuminated every corner of the microcosm.

With each breath of the Phoenix Heart, the microcosm would rotate once, and after each rotation, Hawke would truly feel that his microcosm had expanded again.

This is not an illusion.

After all, the combat power of Silver Saints is exponentially greater than that of Bronze Saints.

Except for the five little heroes!
In short, Hawke could sense that his inner universe was far from reaching its current limit.

After all, his current speed has only just reached about Mach 300. If he were to burn his inner universe at full power, his speed would only be able to barely reach Mach 500.

This statement sounds very Versailles.

but……

The ultimate Silver Saints can move at speeds that are almost infinitely close to the speed of light.

and so!
He's only at the very beginning; he still has a long way to go before reaching the peak of Silver rank.

Hawke thought to himself.

Just then, he slowly opened his eyes, turned around and walked into the house, saying to Gwen, who was discussing the photos with Mary, "Gwen, I'm going downstairs."

Upon hearing this, Gwen looked up at Hawke, then nodded to indicate that she understood, and continued to discuss the photo issue with Mary.

Hawke walked straight toward the door.

soon.

Hawke, emerging from the elevator, saw Thor in the first-floor lounge. Instead of wearing his iconic armor, Thor was dressed in a casual suit, his messy blond hair tied up, and holding an umbrella.

Hawke raised an eyebrow and walked over.

"Thor."

"Hawk."

Thor, who was sitting next to Jane, stood up and laughed heartily, as if he and Hawke were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, and gave each other a warm hug upon meeting.

Jane, watching this scene, smiled helplessly and then greeted Hawke.

"Hawk."

"simple."

"I'm sorry, but he seemed unusually excited after coming down this time."

"Of course I'm excited."

After Thor and Hawke separated, Thor listened to Jane's words and then explained to Hawke, "This time, unless there's something important in Asgard, I won't go back. I originally thought the days ahead would be boring, but with you here, I don't think it will be boring."

Upon hearing this, Hawke looked at Jane with a somewhat surprised expression.

Jane, suppressing a smile of relief at finally being able to reunite with her boyfriend, nodded to Hawke.

Hawke feigned surprise and smiled slightly.

"Congratulations."

"Thank you."

Jane accepted Hawke's blessing: "Thor came down yesterday and found out from S.H.I.E.L.D. that you were still in London, so he dragged me here to find you."

Hawke was not surprised that S.H.I.E.L.D. knew his real-time location.

He doesn't reject this behavior either.

after all……

This is normal SHIELD work, and he's willing to cooperate, as long as SHIELD doesn't interfere with his daily life.

Hawke smiled.

"I'm going back to New York City tomorrow."

“That’s great, Jane. When are we going back to New York?”

"Our tickets are for the day after tomorrow."

Jane looked at her boyfriend, who was looking at her expectantly. He was like a god of war in Asgard, but seemed to have become a goofball on Earth. Jane felt a little helpless.

Upon hearing this, Thor then said to Hawke, "Then see you in New York City. Tony Stark and I are friends; we fought together in the Battle of New York last year."

Hawke smiled and said, "I know, I was there that day too, but I was in Queens."

Thor was slightly taken aback, then recalled the strange fluctuation he had suddenly felt on the day of the Battle of New York.

He glanced in that direction, but because he was trying to stop his brother from committing a serious mistake, he didn't go over to look.

at the moment.

Thor suddenly realized.

"That's you."

"Yes."

"That's great, so we're comrades now."

Saul said happily, "When Jane and I get back to New York, let's get together. I'm looking forward to your challenge."

Hawke smiled and looked at Thor.

"Okay, see you in New York!"

See you in New York!
