Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 178 King Kong on Skull Island (Third Update!)
King Kong's furious roar pierced through space and exploded in Hawke's ears.

Don't know why.

Hawke seemed to understand the meaning behind King Kong's roar.

"Stay away from my house."

"Hey!"

Hawke instinctively raised an eyebrow and looked at the massive, 32-meter-tall King Kong in his line of sight, its rough body covered in bristling fur. He darted forward, almost touching the coastline of Skull Island.

King Kong was furious when he saw Hawke advance instead of retreat.

With another roar, his thick arms pulled out two more towering trees that had grown on the island for countless years and hurled them towards Hawke's location once more.

boom! boom!
Once again, endless sawdust covered the forest below with a thick layer of wood chips, like a snowfall.

"Get out of here!"

"Roar!"

Hawke, seized by a playful impulse, imitated King Kong's roar, spreading his arms and shouting at King Kong, "I'm not leaving!"

He didn't quite understand what this Skull Island meant.

but……

We cannot leave.

He could sense that something he had always wanted was on this island; he just hadn't yet decided whether or not to take the risk.

Then King Kong appeared.

Without hesitation, Hawke took another step, stepping onto the territory of Skull Island.

next moment.

That invisible divine pressure arrived in an instant.

Hawke did not choose to confront this divine pressure head-on, but instead gradually reduced the Reality Stone's ability to materialize the power of his current cosmos.

If we say that his current level of materialization of his cosmos power is 100% Silver.

So--

When Hawke reduced the materialization level to about fifty percent of the silver level, the invisible divine pressure surrounding him immediately weakened.

Although the oppressive aura was still there, it was enough for him to move freely.

Hawke thought to himself.

Meanwhile, King Kong, watching Hawke not only provoke him again but also completely trespass on his territory, was utterly enraged.

Boom!

After King Kong took a step forward with his right foot, he instantly crushed a small mound beneath his feet. Then, as he bent his knees, he launched himself into the air like a cannonball. With his hands clasped together, he slammed down on Hawke in the air like a giant mountain.

Seeing this, Hawke watched as King Kong attacked him from the air. Just as King Kong's fists were about to crash down like Mount Tai, Hawke also raised his hand and threw a punch, striking King Kong's chest at supersonic speed.

Bang!
King Kong was instantly sent flying backward, his massive body crashing into the lake on the island with a thunderous roar, like a dark cloud covering the sky.

"good."

After exchanging blows with King Kong, Hawke, who had been somewhat uneasy about lowering his own strength, was now completely relieved.

Although he still didn't understand what was going on with the island.

but……

It is known that King Kong's strength level on Skull Island is T0, and he just punched King Kong away, so even if he lowered his strength, his level on Skull Island is still T0.

Since it's a T0-level device, what's there to worry about?

Hawke thought to himself, then turned around, intending to find Peter first, at least to confirm whether Peter was dead or alive, and then go to find where he was looking for what he wanted.

But just as he was about to turn and leave, suddenly, King Kong's roar came from the lake.

The voice was no longer angry, but somewhat hurried.

Hawke instinctively turned around to look again.

into the eye.

King Kong, with most of its body submerged in the lake, now had countless tentacles covered with sharp bristles and barbed legs on the half of its body exposed above the water.

The tentacles covering King Kong's body are exerting force, trying to pull King Kong, who has just fallen into the lake, completely into the water and drown him.

King Kong struggled desperately in the water, trying to break free from the increasingly tight tentacles.

but……

useless.

Seeing that King Kong was about to be dragged into the water, Hawke reacted and instantly appeared in front of King Kong with two consecutive flashes.

The unknown creature at the bottom of the lake seemed to sense the danger. One of its tentacles emerged from the water and lashed out at Hawke with a whooshing sound.

Hawke stretched out his right hand and suddenly grabbed the tentacle. Then, with his inner power burning, he pulled on the tentacle and exerted force instantly, performing an over-the-shoulder throw in mid-air, completely blasting the huge creature, which did not want to lose its tentacle, out of the lake.

A massive swamp squid, a creature unique to Skull Island and measuring approximately thirty-three meters in length, burst forth from the water.

The giant swamp squid, who never expected to be dragged out of the water by such a small creature, panicked. First, it decisively cut off the tentacle that Hawk was holding it, and then the remaining tentacles stuck to King Kong's body, trying its best not to actually fly away.

Seeing this, Hawke used telekinesis to draw his sword.

Pfft!
One by one, the tentacles of the giant swamp squid attached to King Kong were severed, until the last tentacle was also severed, and it crashed heavily onto the grassy shore with a whooshing sound.

King Kong took the opportunity to stand up smoothly from the lake, and then, with a disgusted expression, pulled off the tentacles that were wrapped around him and were now oozing sticky liquid.

After finishing all this, King Kong turned his gaze to Hawk.

Hawke smiled slightly and looked at King Kong: "I'm here to find someone, I won't stay here."

In his past life, his favorite Ultraman was Tiga, and his favorite monster was King Kong.

This is why he only knocked King Kong away, but did not injure him.

Masturbating on top of the Empire State Building—that's every man's ultimate dream.

And King Kong did just that. King Kong seemed to have heard Hawke's meaning, or perhaps Hawke had just saved him, so after staring at Hawke for a few seconds, he let out a loud breath from his nose, then turned around, his massive body churning the lake's waters, and walked toward the giant swamp squid that, instead of being happy after coming ashore, was hopping around trying to get back into the water.

soon.

King Kong's massive foot crushed the equally enormous head of the swamp giant squid with a single stomp, accompanied by a loud "plop" as thick, sticky fluids exploded beneath King Kong's foot.

next second.

King Kong bent down, grabbed the broken tentacle of the giant swamp squid, and with a burst of strength, lifted the dead giant swamp squid up. Then, he turned his head to look at Hawke, who was hovering in the air at eye level with him. With a look of wisdom and responsibility, he gave Hawke a warning before carrying the giant swamp squid towards the deep canyon in the distance.

Not long after.

King Kong's figure completely disappeared into the deep canyon.

After watching King Kong disappear, Hawke withdrew his gaze and then turned his attention to a place in the distance behind him that resembled a primitive village.

He realized he had found Peter.

It's right here in this village.

Hawke's mind raced, and his figure vanished instantly. When he reappeared, he was already above the village.

into the eye.

In the primitive village stood many indigenous people whose bodies were covered with various magical symbols.

They were standing warily in front of a building in the village, holding wooden weapons. They were startled when Hawke suddenly appeared and seemed a little flustered.

next second.

After a moment of panic, someone in the group of natives suddenly shouted. Then, as the relatively well-dressed old man with a cane adorned with many ornaments knelt down before Hawke, the rest of the natives followed suit and knelt down before him.

While kneeling and worshipping, he kept muttering something in a foreign language.

Hawke couldn't understand, but that didn't stop him from knowing that these natives regarded him as a god.

pity……

He is not a god yet, at least not now.

Hawke thought to himself, too lazy to correct the group of natives. He glanced around and then his gaze fell on the woman who was staring at him with her mouth agape at the door of a stilted house at the very back of the village.

Although the women had changed into the clothes of the local women, and even their faces were covered in what appeared to be mud that hadn't been washed off.

But appearances can be deceiving.

It's not about temperament.

Hawke vanished instantly.

"Found you."

"what!"

Felicia, still hesitant about whether the person hovering in the air was Hawk, suddenly saw a figure appear before her and instinctively twisted her waist, delivering a whip kick to Hawk.

Hawke reached out his right hand and pinched Felicia's shin as she lashed out, stopping her attack before withdrawing his right hand.

He's not a pervert.

not to mention……

Friend's wife, don't deceive.

Hawke laughed.

"This isn't the female CEO I know."

"..."

Felicia realized what was happening, and after retracting her right leg, a look of surprise appeared on her muddy face.

"Hawk!"

"Yes, it's me."

"God."

When Felicia saw Hawke nod with a smile, she excitedly hugged him tightly: "You've finally come! Peter said that once he knew we were missing, he would definitely find us."

Hawke laughed and gave Felicia a hug as well.

But it is also easily released upon contact.

Felicia then warmly and happily welcomed Hawke into the stilted wooden house in front of her.

The cabin is not big.

But it was cleaned very well, giving people a very warm feeling.

Hawke glanced around the room, then his gaze fell on Felicia's face.

Felicia met Hawke's gaze, reached up and touched the mud on her face, and explained with a smile, "It was on purpose. These natives here aren't as civilized as they are outside."

Hawke nodded.

"I understand, but what about Peter?"

"He went out hunting with the hunting party."

"hunt?"

Hawke was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at Felicia: "You came a month ago, didn't you say you brought a month's worth of supplies?"

Felicia was stunned when she heard this.

"A month ago?"

"Hawk."

“Peter and I have been living here for a year now.”

"..."
