Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 160 From Now On, I Won't Do Anything (First Update!)

Dragons fight in the wild, their blood turning black and yellow!

The phoenix dwells in seclusion, its feathers gleaming!
The moment the phantom of the Black Phoenix was projected into the Hell dimension, the instant the phantom of the Black Phoenix spread its wings.

Hawk's Netherworld projection appeared shortly afterward, perfectly merging with the Black Phoenix as it spread its wings.

at the same time.

As the dark red flames of the Black Phoenix phantom burned, a Black Phoenix armor, resembling both crystal and metal, appeared in quick succession.

Mephisto was instantly shocked when he saw this scene.

next second.

After realizing what was happening, he roared and threw a punch at Hawke, who was standing in front of him.

"Give me your soul."

"boom!"

Hawke stood motionless, ignoring Mephisto's attack.

but!
Almost at the moment Mephisto's massive fist was about to strike Hawk, the projected black phoenix flapped its wings and transformed into a beam of black light, merging into Hawk's body. In an instant, an unparalleled wave of energy swept outwards from Hawk.

The energy was so powerful that even Mephisto was caught off guard and thrown away.

Mephisto quickly got up.

Hawke glanced at it and commented.

"idiot!"

Do you not know what "invincible frames during transformation" means?

Well known.

During the transformation, regardless of how long the character's transformation animation is, or whether their strength is high or low after transformation, they are in an invincible frame by default during the transformation.

Even if the Earth is blasted to smithereens during the character's transformation, the character in the transformed state is not expected to suffer any harm, let alone be interrupted.

This is the rule of the world.

Just as Hawke finished commenting on Mephisto's rule-breaking behavior, the Black Phoenix Cloth in the sky instantly disintegrated into pieces, which swept towards Hawke with dark red flames.

The first to arrive are the sharpest and most deadly claw armor.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Arm armor, leg armor, greaves... countless Saint Cloth parts that shone in the dark red flames were perfectly covered on his body with one crisp clinking sound after another.

Dark red flames swept over his legs, and his black gem-like greaves and boots solidified and enveloped in the flames.

As the helmet, also forged from black gemstones, fell, the fierce and flamboyant wings on both sides, blazing with flames like phoenix feathers, suddenly unfolded. The visor fell down, obscuring all of Hawke's expressions, leaving only his heterochromatic eyes, which seemed to hold the underworld within them, half crimson and half gold.

At last!
As the fiery tail-shaped waist armor precisely snapped into place at the missing spot, a dazzling black light burst forth across the surface of the Saint Cloth, like surging magma finally finding its convergence point.

boom!
A pair of enormous, phantom black phoenix wings made of pure energy suddenly unfurled behind Hawke.

Black flames emanated from Hawke, spreading outwards in all directions the moment he clenched his fist.

All of a sudden.

The earth is shaking!

Mephisto's expression was extremely ugly at this moment. He stared intently at Hawke, who had transformed into the Dark Phoenix and was now clad in the Dark Phoenix Cloth. He practically squeezed out a sentence through his jagged teeth.

"The underworld!"

"surprise!"

Hawk, dressed in the Black Phoenix Suit, spread his hands toward Mephisto: "It's only fair to return a favor. You gave me Ghost Rider as a surprise, so naturally I had to prepare a surprise for you. Now it's quite obvious that your gift didn't surprise me, but my gift... look into my eyes, Mephisto, tell me, did you feel my surprise?"

Mephisto trembled: "Good, very good! The Reality Stone is actually with you, and... the Time Stone! Ancient One!"

He now understands completely.

Hawk did not sell his soul to any dimension.

To be precise, he sold his soul to himself.

Hawke truly used his son Witchheart Demon's Law of Life and Death, along with the Four Elements of Creation, to create his own unique underworld in just two days.

Yes.

It is a boundary, not a dimension, but a boundary that is on a higher level than a dimension.

That's almost impossible.

Unless one possesses ether, or even if one does possess ether, it would be impossible to create the underworld in such a short time.

Unless... the Time Stone!
Mephisto instantly sensed the power of the aether and the power of time that had not yet completely dissipated when Hawke's projection of the underworld arrived.

only……

Mephisto said in a deep voice, "How did you manage to persuade the Ancient One to lend you the Time Stone?"

Hawke shrugged: "You might not believe it, but I went over and said I needed to borrow the Time Stone, and the Ancient One gave it to me. It's different from what you said. The Ancient One seems quite easy to get along with."

He told the truth.

That's the truth. The difference is that he hadn't even made his promise yet, but the Ancient One could already borrow power from her future self.

They take advantage of the time gem and do whatever they want.

Hawke thought to himself.

Mephisto was stunned once again.

Ancient One?

That bald woman who lived a life of asceticism and asceticism? She's actually easy to get along with.
The bald woman had trapped him with the Time Stone countless times, which was why he was able to sense the lingering power of time in the underworld projected by Hawke.

But he quickly regained his senses.

Mephisto looked at Hawke with a grim expression: "You think you can beat me like this? Don't forget, this is my hell. Odin and the eternal soul were tricked here by me, and they couldn't do anything to me in the end. Do you think you can deal with me in my hell?"

Speaking of it.

Mephisto paused for a second, then looked at Hawke and said in a chilling tone, "Don't forget, your sister is still in my hands. Aren't you afraid I'll burn her soul?"

Hawk, whose expression was completely hidden beneath his mask, stared at Mephisto with his phoenix eyes, half scarlet and half gold (the phoenix being male and the phoenix female!): "Give me back my sister's soul, and I'll turn and leave immediately. I have no interest in you or in your hell."

He is very busy.

If Mephisto had any integrity whatsoever, he wouldn't even have considered creating the Underworld.

God is my witness.

Before Mephisto came to him, he had already weighed Thor's hammer, determined the material, and started thinking about how to ask Thor for ten or eight tons of Uru metal.

After all, that thing is a strategic resource of Asgard, and it's very difficult for ordinary people to get their hands on it without connections.

Especially since the amount he wanted was a little over a hundred million.

As a result, he was already planning to use the Gold Cloth when Mephisto arrived with his own scheme. If it weren't for Mephisto, he wouldn't have thought of using the Dark Phoenix Surplice as a temporary measure.

and so……

From this perspective, he should thank Mephisto.

of course.

The condition for thanking him is that Mephisto hands over his sister's soul.

"Without even thinking about it!"

Mephisto roared, his expression contorted with rage, "You killed my son, and I'll kill your sister too!"

Hawke burst out laughing when he heard this.

"You just thanked me for killing your son."

"I was just kidding you, you can't trust demons!"

"Ok."

Hawke was unable to refute Mephisto's explanation, nor did he want to. He simply flipped his hand and took out the Sanctuary Vangel's Contract, which sealed the evil souls of thousands of fallen saints. He then weighed it in his hand and looked at Mephisto.

"How about I make a deal with this? Give me back my sister, and I'll give you the San Venganza Contract."

"...Take it here first, and I'll give your sister back to you after you give it to me."

"Ah!"

Hawke scoffed at this and looked at Mephisto: "You just said a second ago that you don't believe demons, do you think I would believe you?"

Mephisto grinned menacingly: "Believe it or not, give me the San Venganza Contract, or I'll burn your sister's soul right now."

While talking.

With a swift grab, he brought Anya, who had been kept under house arrest in the palace under the guise of taking care of her, right in front of him.

Anya felt a blur before her eyes, and then she saw the man in the black phoenix-patterned underworld robes. Although she couldn't see his face, she could see his eyes when they met.

She knew who the person in front of her was.

"elder brother!"

"Anya."

Hawke's cold, sharp eyes softened the moment his sister appeared.

next second.

Anya, who instinctively ran towards Hawke, was held in place by Mephisto.

Mephisto's expression was ferocious.

"Give me the San Venganza Pact!"

"Mephisto."

Hawke's eyes instantly returned to their cold, sharp look as he stared directly at Mephisto: "I'll say it one last time, release my sister first, and then the San Venganza Contract."

Mephisto grinned maliciously, placing his claws on Anya's head, and looked at Hawke with utter confidence: "I'll say it one last time, give me the San Venganza Contract!"

Hawke removed his mask, completely exposing his appearance to Anya's view, and smiled slightly.

Do you trust your brother?

"Of course, my brother is the best in the world."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Hawke smiled gently, then looked at Mephisto with eyes filled with utter indifference: "Make your move."

Mephisto was slightly taken aback.

"what?"

"Do it!"

Hawke's tone was icy as he stared directly at Mephisto: "If you have the guts, burn my sister. If you do, I'll tear up the San Venganza Pact the next second and fight you for ownership of Earth's souls. And I can assure you, from now on I won't do anything but watch over you and serve you alone. I'll make sure no soul can enter your Hell Dimension, and no demon can escape it. I won't kill you; I'll make you guard your Hell Dimension and watch you slowly wither and die!"

Mephisto: "..."
