Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 153 Ancient One Redeems Her Promise Ahead of Schedule (Second Update!)

Gwen had a slightly open mouth expression.

soon.

Realizing what was happening, she looked down at the Saint Cloth she was wearing.

The unique icy blue light of Andromeda, along with the shimmering of the nebula, occasionally appeared on her Saint Cloth.

Gwen reached out and touched it instinctively.

moment.

A cool, metallic touch washes over you, accompanied by a sense of intimacy.

The moment Gwen slightly raised her arm, the necklace, which added a different color to the Saint Cloth, also emitted a pleasant hum.

The moment she touched the chains, nebulae seemed to swirl in her expressive emerald eyes.

Gwen looked at Hawke, who was standing in front of her, smiling and looking at her, and winked mischievously.

next second.

"Nebula Chains—"

With a sharp cry, the chains wrapped around Gwen came to life as if they were alive. Following Hawke's command to protect Gwen, the chains suspended and then bound themselves to Hawke's body amidst his twitching lips.

Circle after circle.

Hawke was tied up very tightly.

He glanced down at the chains binding him, then looked up at Gwen, who was winking at him mischievously. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "Gwen, I gave you this gift not so you could use it to tie me up."

Gwen winked mischievously again, lowered her voice, and said to Hawke, "Hey, don't you really like bondage?"

Upon hearing this, Hawke's lips twitched uncontrollably once again.

really.

Women become naturally filthy after marriage.

Gwen was no exception.

Hawke thought to himself, and with a sudden thought...

Bang!
The Andromeda Cloth was once again taken over by Gwen, and the chains binding Hawk returned to the Cloth, which had transformed back into a necklace pendant in the air.

Immediately afterwards, with a flash of icy blue light, the Andromeda Cloth transformed once again into a necklace pendant hanging around Gwen's neck.

Gwen glanced down, then looked up at Hawke: "Hey, I haven't had enough fun yet!"

Hawke laughed and said, "This is for protecting you, not for you to play with. Besides, it has limited energy, so don't wait until you really need it and it's unusable."

Gwen was a little curious.

"Can't you charge her?"

"Yes, but the materials are not suitable."

one more time.

Vibranium can absorb all energy, but it cannot store energy.

and so……

The Saint Cloth he used to protect Gwen can only protect her twice at most, and Gwen has already used it once.

But it doesn’t matter.

Once Gwen has used it all up, just reforge the Andromeda Cloth.

Gwen listened to Hawke's explanation, said "Oh," then lowered her eyes, rubbed the Andromeda Cloth around her neck which had turned into a small pendant with her right palm, and unconsciously a sweet smile appeared on her lips as she looked up at Hawke.

"Hawk."

"Ah."

"Thank you, I really like this gift."

"You're welcome."

Hawke met Gwen's gentle emerald eyes with a smile and said, "Let's go, we're already here, didn't you want to take pictures?"

Gwen nodded, then looked at Hawke: "Yes, for a photo. Can I take a picture wearing this dress you gave me?"

Hawke firmly refused: "No, it's too much trouble to start over."

Gwen looked somewhat disappointed, then seemed to remember something and glanced at Hawke.

"It's all your fault."

"..."

Hawke was stunned.

What operation.

One second they're saying thank you, the next they're blaming me?
really.

A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.

but……

Even though she couldn't wear the Andromeda Cloth for another photoshoot, it only affected Gwen's mood for less than ten seconds.

Because soon, Gwen became so engrossed in the beautiful snow-capped mountain scenery that she left her footprints on almost every mountain surrounding Kamar-Taj.

The two did not return to Kamar-Taj until the sun was about to set.

As the two were walking down the corridor, watching the magic apprentices practicing in the training ground not far away, a stocky and strong Asian man with a serious and composed face walked up to them.

king!
Currently, I am the administrator of the Kamar-Taj Library.

Wang Chao said to Hawke, "Mr. Phoenix, Mrs. Phoenix, dinner is ready. The Sorcerer Supreme invites you both to dine with him."

Before Hawke could speak, Gwen, hearing the way the king addressed her, replied first, "Okay, thank you."

obviously.

Gwen was very happy with the way she had been addressed.

She looked at the woman who had just addressed her as Mrs. Phoenix: "You are..."

The king, without a smile, said, "Your Majesty, that's what everyone calls me."

Upon hearing this, Gwen smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Your Majesty."

Wang smiled slightly, and just as she was about to turn around, she seemed to remember something, took out a piece of paper from her pocket, and handed it to Gwen.

Gwen reached out and took the note, pausing slightly as she looked at the letters "Shamballa" written on it. "This is..."

"The Wi-Fi password for Kamar-Taj".

"Wi-Fi...password?"

Gwen, who had just been contemplating the infinite possibilities of what those letters represented, opened her mouth after hearing the King's explanation: "Okay, thank you."

Wang smiled again, then resumed his serious expression and turned to lead the way.

Gwen, following behind, looked at the successful Wi-Fi connection on her phone and couldn't help but complain to Hawke beside her, "Isn't this supposed to be a magical world?"

Hawke shrugged: "Just keeping up with the times."

After all, the Sage Supreme is not some pedantic person.

This can be seen from the fact that the Sorcerer Supreme could borrow power from the Dark Dimension.

After dinner, Wang once again led them to the door of a guest room.

open the door.

The layout of a five-star hotel room comes into view.

The modern bed and bathtub, once again, create a strong sense of incongruity with the antique building.

But Gwen was already used to it.

At that moment, Gwen was standing in front of the window, looking at the snow-capped mountains illuminated by the moonlight in the distance. She couldn't help but take out her phone again and take a picture of the snow-capped mountains under the moonlight.

After taking the photos, Gwen turned around and smiled at Hawke: "Let's take a shower and go to bed."

Hawke: “…”

the next day.

early morning.

Hawke glanced at Gwen, who had been as arrogant as a tiger last night but as quiet as a kitten this morning, smiled slightly, kissed Gwen on the forehead, then dressed and, led by a mage apprentice, went to the library in Kamar-Taj.

Wang was already waiting at the door.

Hawke nodded in greeting.

Good morning, Wang.

"Good morning."

Wang opened the library: "The Supreme Master is waiting for you inside."

Hawke said thank you and stepped into the library.

into the eye.

The bookshelves all around seemed to have their own life, constantly swimming around like fish in the vast space that was completely out of place with the outside world, carrying the bookshelves full of magic books.

Hawke watched as a bookshelf slid up to him and reached out to touch it.

The bookshelf, like a startled fish, scurried backward with a whoosh.

"These spellbooks were either created or collected by mages of the Supreme Dimension throughout history. You are not a mage of the Supreme Dimension, so you cannot read these books."

"That's regretful."

Hawke watched as the bookshelf fled in fright, and then the Ancient One, still dressed in white robes, appeared not far away. Hawke shrugged and walked up to the Ancient One: "May I borrow the Time Stone now?"

The Venerable Master smiled peacefully, said nothing, turned around, and led the way.

Seeing this, Hawke remained silent and followed the Sorcerer Supreme forward.

soon.

As the Supreme Master raised his hand, the space in front of him changed as if a mirror had shattered, and then a space made of stacked bluestone appeared on all sides.

The first thing to be affected was the wall directly opposite Hawke.

Three stone-carved heads are clearly visible on the wall.

It is the Triune Vishanti.

Ochter the All-Powerful, Agamotto the All-Seeing, and the Agnes the Old.

Below the stone sculpture is a platform.

Above the platform, there is an ornament that defies gravity and floats on a stone display stand.

The Eye of Agamotto!

Speaking of...

The reason the Ancient One didn't bring him in yesterday might be because she had the Eye of Agamotto with her at the time, so she had to put it back in its place before she could bring him in.

Hawke couldn't help but think to himself, then looked at the Sorcerer Supreme who had walked onto the stone platform, formed hand seals, and slowly opened the Eye of Agamotto.

As the Sorcerer Supreme slowly opened the Eye of Agamotto, which holds the Time Stone, the unique green light of the Time Stone instantly began to overflow outwards.

soon.

Hawke saw the Time Stone fully revealed itself within the Eye of Agamotto after it was fully activated.

The Time Stone possesses the core function of manipulating time, enabling it to accelerate, decelerate, or stop the flow of time locally or over a large area. It can also create time loops and even travel on the river of time, seeing the future with far greater clarity and power than seeing the past.

The Sorcerer Supreme then manipulated the fully activated Eye of Agamotto to ascend into the air, and then descended in the direction of Hawke.

Hawke grabbed it, then looked at the Eye of Agamotto, now so bright and clear in his hand, and after a moment's thought, looked at the Sorcerer Supreme with some curiosity: "May I ask what promise I made?"

The Sorcerer Supreme's expression remained calm, but a hint of barely perceptible curiosity flickered in his eyes: "What do you intend to offer me in exchange for this deal? Now."

Hawke said with a smile, "I do have ideas, but I can't fulfill the promises I want to make to you right now."

The Supreme Master's expression remained calm.

"It's alright, I've already kept my promise."

"Okay... huh?"

Hawke looked at the Sorcerer Supreme, somewhat puzzled.

next second.

The Supreme Master on the stone platform raised his hand and smiled, making a flower-shaped gesture.

Hawke's pupils contracted sharply.
