Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 155 The Birth of the Black Phoenix Hades (Fourth Update!)

In the huge circular plaza of Kamar-Taj.

As another day dawned, the young mage apprentices began their daily morning exercises on the rune-covered plaza floor.

Some of the mage apprentices cheered with joy as they watched the spark portal they had finally drawn.

Some mage apprentices looked at their failed spells with a somewhat dejected expression, but quickly recovered and threw themselves into the training again.

Gwen stood in the library corridor, chin in hand, watching the mage apprentices training in the circular plaza.

After Hawke explained it to her, she no longer envied the mages who studied magic.

Ok.

Gwen was still a little envious.

But the thought that it would require exchanging her own soul, and that she might become a bargaining chip for someone else to blackmail her fiancé, shattered Gwen's illusions about wizards.

No matter what, we can't hold Hawke back.

but……

Is this spell difficult? It's just drawing a circle, isn't it?
How could it fail so many times?
Gwen watched as another mage apprentice failed, a sense of curiosity creeping into her mind. Then she thought of Hawke, turned to look at the still-closed library behind her, and a hint of worry in her eyes.

Hawke has been inside for a day and hasn't come out yet.

at this time.

The library doors opened.

Gwen's eyes lit up.

next second.

She looked at the stern-faced Wang as he walked out of the library, withdrew the expectation from her eyes, and then greeted him.

Good morning, Wang.

"Good morning."

Wang looked at Gwen standing in the corridor, nodded in response, then turned to look at the library behind him, and then looked back at Gwen. Just as he was about to say that Hawke probably wouldn't be able to come out so soon, he glanced at Gwen and looked at the Sorcerer Supreme who appeared not far away.

"Supreme Master".

"..."

Gwen followed the king's gaze and looked behind her, where she saw the Ancient One, who had appeared behind her at some point. She composed herself and asked, "Sorcerer Supreme, when will Hawke be able to come out?"

The Ancient One did not answer Gwen's question immediately, but nodded to Wong, who had just come out of the library.

Wang understood and turned to leave.

After the king had walked away, Gu Yi looked at Gwen and stood with her in front of the corridor railing. Her all-seeing gaze fell on the mage apprentice who was diligently cultivating in the circular plaza: "When he wants to come out, he will naturally come out."

What difference does it make whether I said it or not?

Upon hearing the Ancient One's words, Gwen's lips twitched unconsciously, mimicking Hawke's, but she didn't refute it; instead, she took a deep breath.

"Ok."

"If you're bored, you can learn some Kamar-Taj magic."

"No, no."

Upon hearing this, Gwen quickly waved her hand to refuse: "It looks difficult, I probably can't learn it."

The Ancient One listened to Gwen's explanation, glanced at her, and smiled slightly.

"For you, if you want to learn, with your intelligence, it will be very easy."

"never mind."

Gwen didn't hesitate and rejected the Ancient One's suggestion once again.

Seeing this, Gu Yi didn't say anything more, but changed the subject and invited Gwen to have a cup of tea. Hawke should be out in a while.

Gwen turned her head to look at the silent library, thought for a moment, nodded to the Ancient One, and accepted the Ancient One's invitation.

In the library.

Inside the stone chamber of Vishanti.

Hawke sat cross-legged, suspended in mid-air, with the Eye of Agamotto, which housed the Time Stone, radiating a unique green light that belonged to time between his palms.

Time is both very fast and very slow.

However, when you are immersed in time, time itself actually has no meaning.

In the small universe.

Hawke's time was frozen in a single instant.

into the eye.

The underworld has been born!
At this moment, thanks to the cheating of time, in the blink of an eye, almost at the instant the underworld was born, enormous, suffocating buildings appeared in the underworld.

Similarly, under the cheating of the Time Stone, the nascent Underworld, emanating the invisible aura of the laws of life and death, was rapidly spreading throughout the entire microcosm, instantly covering the entire microcosm with the laws of life and death.

At that time, after the microcosm is manifested, any life forms born on these planets will be reincarnated through the underworld.

However, there is no life now.

He has only used the Reality Stone to materialize the power of his Sixth Sense Cosmo; he has not yet truly materialized the Cosmo.

Therefore, Hawke's current cosmos is devoid of any life.

Loneliness.

Icy.

Like the newly born underworld.

A colossal gate to the underworld, made of a mixture of crystal and metal, stood cold and eerie at the only entrance to the underworld.

Passing through the gates of the underworld, one finds a vast, desolate, and lifeless plain.

The ground was covered with gray-black gravel and jagged rocks, barren of any vegetation. The sky was perpetually gloomy, filled with ominous dark clouds.

The end of the plain is not the end of the soul, but the cliff.

Below the cliff, a wide, slow-flowing river flows, but one filled with an ominous aura. The riverbanks are barren, covered with black reeds and twisted, withered trees, but at the river's end, the colossal underworld complex can be vaguely seen.

At that time, the soul will either jump off the cliff into or be pushed into this river, and then flow downstream to reach the core area of ​​the true underworld.

The courtroom!

Eight Hells!

Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss!
Everything is available.

With the idea that if you don't use it now, it will expire and become useless later, Hawke used the Time Stone to perfect everything in the Underworld as much as possible.

It felt like playing a real-life version of Hawk in Minecraft, and I had a lot of fun. Especially when I perfectly handcrafted a 1:1 replica of Hades' Palace and placed it in the center of Elysium, I felt an unparalleled sense of satisfaction.

And at the very moment he stepped into the Hades Temple.

A phoenix, its entire body bathed in black flames, emerged and, with a whoosh, perfectly merged with the temple before it.

The black phoenix's body was branded onto the temple floor, and its wings, burning with black flames, were also branded onto the temple's pillars, forming intricate patterns.

As for who stole the show, it was none other than the Hades' Chair in front of Hawke, which had merged with the chair on the high platform. The equally dark phoenix eyes had transformed into two black gems, adorning the sides of the Hades' Chair.

Hawke seemed to sense something.

He looked up at the temple, whose interior space was enormous.

into the eye.

Beneath the black flames, countless Netherworld Black Gems, obtained through cheating with the Time Stone, melted and coalesced within the flames.

Visible to the naked eye.

A battle suit, resembling both crystal and metal, is being conceived within it.

Hawke looked at the Black Phoenix Undergarment that was being conceived within it, and the image of Mephisto appeared in his mind.

"Mephisto!"

"I hope you like my gift."

Hawke thought to himself.

next second.

Hawke, who was sitting cross-legged and suspended in mid-air, opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, the Vishanti, the Triune God, on the stone wall, unleashed magical power, instantly closing the Eye of Agamotto in front of Hawke. At the same time, with the surge of magical power, the closed Eye of Agamotto quietly reappeared on the display stand on the stone platform.

Hawke raised an eyebrow and met the gaze of the Triune God Vishanti carved on the stone wall.

Their eyes met.

"Tch, stingy people, no wonder you need to combine three to have a dimension."

"Let's discuss it."

"Give me the Time Stone, and in the future, I will allow you to enter my universe, how about that?"

"..."

After closing the Eye of Agamotto and completing all this, Vishanti remained as still as a stone statue.

Seeing this, Hawke didn't say anything more.

He was just saying it casually.

After all, even if his Phoenix parallel universe is born, it will still be much weaker in terms of foundation compared to the main Marvel universe.

In the main Marvel universe, the Vishanti's power can spread throughout the main multiverse.

But what about Hawke's Phoenix parallel universe?

It's a single universe, just like the World Tree universe. It's also attached to the main Marvel universe, but it's an independent parallel universe within itself.

Why give up being a dimensional god in the main universe and instead choose to be a dimensional god in a parallel universe?
Vishanti wasn't stupid.

Hawke respected Vishanti's choice, and in the instant his six senses were rapidly activated, he had already silently disappeared from Vishanti's chamber.

When Hawke reappeared, he saw his fiancée sitting not far away, chatting happily with the Ancient One, as if they had become good friends.

The Ancient One looked at Hawke who had appeared and remained silent.

Gwen looked at the silent Ancient One, and seemed to realize something. She turned to look at Hawke, who had appeared behind her, and her eyes lit up with surprise. Hawke jumped up, hugged her, and then looked at Hawke curiously: "Do you know how long you've been gone?"

Hawke nodded: "Two days."

He knew the passage of time the moment he returned and left the Time Stone.

but……

It's a good deal.

Because he only took two days to bring his inner universe to its current limit, and at the same time, he made the underworld, which should have taken thousands or even tens of thousands of years to develop, emerge ahead of time by cheating.

but……

It may be a good deal, but the apology still needs to be given.

Hawke looked intently at Gwen.

"Feel sorry."

"Forgive you."

After Hawke appeared, Gwen's worries were completely relieved, and she said with a bright smile.

Hawke exchanged a glance with Gwen, smiled, put his arm around Gwen, kissed her, and then looked at the Sorcerer Supreme sitting at the tea table to say goodbye.

His trip to Kamar-Taj has been perfectly accomplished.

Next-

It's time to go see the surprise Mephisto has prepared for him.

at the same time!

It's time to show Mephisto the surprise I've prepared for him!
