Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 162 Mephisto, who truly has no truth to it (Third update!)
Hawke's tone was indifferent.

Mephisto was somewhat stunned, seriously doubting whether Hawke's breaking of his horns had affected his hearing.

“I said, take your sister’s soul and get out of my hell.”

“I said it’s not enough now.”

Hawke hovered in the air, his eyes meeting Mephisto's.

"I've given you two conditions."

"The first time I tell you, if you resurrect my sister, you will gain my three friendships."

"The conditions I offer will always be the best the first time."

"But you didn't want it."

"Now that I'm here, I'm giving you a second condition."

"I'll give you the San Venganza Pact in exchange for my sister's soul. I have no interest in your hell."

"But you didn't accept it."

This is the third time.

"so--"

"Hand over my sister's soul, and in doing so, your hell will no longer hold any souls connected to me. All souls connected to me, sing my name and enter my underworld!"

Hawke looked at Mephisto expressionlessly: "These are my latest conditions. Take them or don't, it's up to you. But if you call for a halt again next time, I won't just ask for souls related to me."

As long as I don't accept being blackmailed, no one can blackmail me.

Hawk, who had already prepared himself for his sister's soul to be destroyed by Mephisto, was now terrifyingly strong.

Anyway, since the soul was destroyed by Mephisto, it wasn't truly irreversible.

Isn't there also the Soul Gem?

At worst, once he gets out of Hell, he can go find Thanos, the head of the family planning office, and ask Thanos to get the Soul Stone. After getting it, he can use the Reality Stone to make a deal with Thanos, and then use the Soul Stone to revive his sister's soul.

What a big deal!

but……

Now that Mephisto has spoken up again and intends to negotiate...

Then let’s talk.

There are no more than three things.

This is the last time.

He had already prepared for the worst.

Mephisto's face instantly darkened to the point where ink could drip from it as he listened to Hawke's third and final offer.

If he had the chance to do it all over again, he vowed he would have agreed to Hawke's terms without hesitation right there in the tavern.

If they had agreed back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Continue playing?
This is his home turf. Anyway, after wrecking the Hell Dimension, Hawke just packed his bags and left. He still has to clean up the mess after the war.

Although Odin and Eternity were the same back then.

but……

These two didn't make any harsh statements like Hawke.

For the rest of my life, I will do nothing but watch over him and serve him alone, so that no soul can enter his hell and no demon can leave his hell.

This doesn't look like something that can be blackmailed.

This is a hedgehog with its fur standing on end.

The kind that explodes at the slightest touch!

only……

Mephisto stared at Hawke with a grim expression: "What do you mean by praising your name and entering your underworld? I'm already willing to let your sister leave, and you still intend to compete with me for the souls of Earth?"

Hawke said expressionlessly, “When the war begins is up to you, but when it ends and how it ends is up to me. That’s my condition. My friends, your hell will have no right to deal with their souls. Accept it or refuse it, it’s up to you.”

If he weren't truly uninterested in developing the underworld, his third condition wouldn't have been so simple.

After all, why would he abandon his good Godhood to fight against Hades, whose path to ascension is so narrow?

But Hawke couldn't quell his anger just by letting it go.

Just then, he thought of a way to prevent Mephisto from pulling any more blackmailing tricks in the future, so he decided to take away the soul access of everyone he knew from him.

Mephisto's face was grim.

"What if they don't agree?"

"Then fight."

Hawk remained expressionless, the San Venganza Contract reappearing in his hand. He said to Mephisto, "But this is the third time. From now on, I will not give you any more chances to negotiate. I will fight you to the death. Either you find a way to kill me, or you can grow old and die in your barren hell."

Mephisto's expression shifted repeatedly, his demonic pupils fixed intently on Hawke.

Hawke stared at Mephisto with unwavering eyes.

quite a while.

"roll!"

Mephisto withdrew his gaze, suppressing his inner rage: "Take your sister and get out of my hell."

Hawke refused to compromise.

Then he had no choice but to compromise.

Again.

He couldn't afford to gamble.

Hawke of the Underworld is now in charge, and his soul is no longer something Hawke can plunder.

Hawke can throw caution to the wind because he has more than just the underworld.

He can't do it, because he really only has one dimension.

But I've decided to take your soul.

at the moment?

"Get out of my hell and never let me see you again."

"hehe."

Hawke breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but he didn't show it. He chuckled at Mephisto's words and said, "As long as you don't provoke me, I have no interest in you."

Say it.

The Black Phoenix Underworld Robe disintegrated upon impact, reassembling in the air to form a phoenix ornament, which then twisted and returned to the main hall of the Underworld.

Hawke touched the ground with both feet and smiled as he looked at his sister in front of him.

His smile was happier than he had been since 2009.

Hawke looked at his sister Anya, who was in tears, and said softly, "Hello, my sister, I've come to take you home."

Anya looked at her brother, who was so close to her, and subconsciously reached out her right hand. The moment she actually touched Hawke's cheek, she burst into laughter through her tears.

“…Hello, my brother, I knew you would come to save me, just like you promised me back then.” Anya pursed her lips and touched Hawke’s cheek.

She recalled the scene before she died, when her brother carried her out of the rubble with his bare hands, and how, in her dying moments, her brother, who was crying desperately, suddenly had a renewed hope and vowed to resurrect her.

Now her brother has really come to take her away from this damned hell.

With this thought in mind, Anya threw herself into Hawke's arms and burst into tears.

"elder brother!"

"Let's go home!"

Hawke hugged his sister tightly, lowered his head to kiss Anya's forehead, and then said softly.

next second.

boom!
The space was shattered like a mirror, revealing the other side, a paradise with bright sunshine, birdsong and fragrant flowers, and spring-like weather all year round.

Followed by.

Hawke, with his sister Anya by his side, took a step forward and repeatedly tossed the San Venganza Contract behind him with his left hand.

Upon seeing this, Mephisto instantly appeared and grabbed the San Venganza Contract.

Hawke had already taken his sister Anya into his underworld.

call out!
Just as he stepped into the sacred land specially created for Anya with his sister in his arms, the spatial rift behind him closed at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

It was at the very moment that Anya's soul arrived in the underworld.

Hawke smiled.

He was wrong.

Mephisto, that bastard, never tells a single truth.

It is said that a soul cannot be resurrected without a body to house it.

Shit!

Mephisto could truly resurrect any soul if he so desired.

Hawke, who controls the laws of life and death in the underworld, could choose to resurrect his sister Anya the moment her soul set foot in the underworld.

He can do it too.

but……

not now!

Because the laws of life and death he possessed came from fragments that broke off from the Demon Heart of Witch.

It's incomplete, so it won't work.

Of course.

It's not impossible for him to revive his sister before his cosmos materializes.

Just as Mephisto had tricked him into believing, he would find a body to house his soul, and then he could resurrect his sister in that way.

He went back and sought out cloning technology to truly revive his sister.

As for now.

So for now, I can only ask my younger sister to stay in this peaceful place.

Hawke then told his sister Anya, whom he had brought back to the underworld, about it.

Anya's big eyes were filled with confusion.

Wronged?

She subconsciously looked at the pure land in front of her.

Pure blue sky and white clouds.

The grass is lush and green.

Countless blooming flowers.

A clear stream.

The magnificent Hades Temple stands atop the heart of this sacred land.

and so……

Living here is considered unfair?

She remembered something: when she was a child, she was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment because of a perforated heart. After waking up, she looked at her brother who was guarding her bedside and smiled as she described to him what she thought was hell.

The pure land before her eyes was not exactly the same as the scene she had described to her brother; it was more of a one-to-one replica.

Anya's thoughts raced as she looked at the serene and peaceful paradise before her, a place that perfectly matched her childhood fantasies about the afterlife. Her heart pounded, and she turned to look at her brother Hawke, who was watching her with a gentle smile.

"elder brother."

"Ah."

"You must have had a very hard time these past few years."

Anya looked at Hawke intently.

She may have been only fourteen when she died, but she had spent so many years in the hell dimension and was no longer the innocent little girl who was well protected by her brother.

Anya, who had lived in Hell for so many years, knew very well how difficult it was to snatch a soul from Mephisto.

His brother, on the other hand, only took four years.

Only four years.

Her brother punched a hole through Hell from Earth, forcing Mephisto, the ruler of the Hell dimension, to release her soul.

His brother was just an ordinary person four years ago.

and so……

She could hardly imagine how much sweat and toil her brother had shed in those short four years to save her from that hell where she would never see the light of day.

These past four years must have been very tiring for my brother.

Anya looked up, her eyes welling up with tears again, as she gazed at her brother, who had always cherished her, both in the past and now.

"Brother, thank you."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Hawke chuckled, gently wiping away the tears from his sister's eyes, and then, just like when they were little, ruffled her hair: "You're not just anyone, you're my sister, my only... my family."

Just as I was about to say that he was his only family member.

Hawke thought of Gwen, raised an eyebrow, and said to Anya, "By the way, I found you a sister-in-law. I'm sure you'll like her."

Anya blinked her red eyes.

look up.

"sister in law?"

"..."
