Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 208 The Eight Great Hells of the Underworld!
Mephisto compromised.

After Hawke swore an oath to the goddess of death, he chose to trust Hawke one more time.

but……

He didn't have a choice.

The barefoot are not afraid of those wearing shoes, but the current situation is exactly as Hawke said: he himself is the one wearing shoes.

Mephisto cannot enter Hawke's universe.

Hawke, however, could block his Hell Dimension. Moreover, he remembered a sentence Hawke had said in the Hell Dimension.

I'll do nothing else in my life but block the gates of your hellish dimension. If you're so tough, don't ever come out. I'll wear you down to death.

Think of this.

Mephisto jolted, and in his anger, he could only sullenly for a moment.

Eyes facing each other.

After Hawke made his vow, Mephisto turned and left without saying a word.

Why not leave?

Are you being bullied?

but--

This matter cannot be left alone.

There's plenty of time in the future, you just wait and see.

Just as the gates of hell slammed shut, Mephisto turned around, and his demonic eyes met Hawke's once more, burning with a mixture of resentment and fury.

Hawke sensed Mephisto's hatred but didn't pay it any mind.

He knew he was at odds with Mephisto the moment he threatened him with force from the Hell dimension to take his sister's soul away.

In a word.

Demons are not only untrustworthy, but also extremely narrow-minded. You could even say that a single glance from a demon is enough for a demon to feel that you are looking down on him.

Mephisto, as the leader of the greatest demons in the Hell dimension, is astoundingly petty.

But, what a coincidence.

Hawke wasn't actually that magnanimous.

To be precise, time travelers are actually not very shrewd.

and so--

Sooner or later, your hellish dimension will be swallowed up.

Hawke watched Mephisto disappear from sight, thought to himself, and then the Black Phoenix Underworld Cloak on his body instantly disintegrated and returned to the Underworld Temple. At the same time, he took a step and returned to the real world, and then his mind sank into his own universe.

His conversation with Mephisto took place within a spatial rift, lasting only a fleeting moment.

And at the very moment Mephisto chose to abandon the question of Alexander Pierce's soul's destiny, the latter's soul was also led by the underworld in a daze and then thrown into the underworld.

Hawk's underworld has eight major hells!
This was created when he used the fragments of the Laws of Life and Death that broke off from the Demon Heart of the Witch, the four elements of creation that broke off from the four elemental demons of creation, and the Reality Gem to create the Underworld, combined with the Hades Warriors and Underworld Prison that he had seen in his previous life.

Each of the eight hells has its own unique characteristics.

Divided into:

The first prison, the Underworld Court of Judgment, will in the future govern all living beings in his microcosm, holding the Book of Life and Death, controlling life and death, judging the sins committed in life, rewarding or punishing accordingly, and sending the deceased to the corresponding hell according to the severity of their sins.

The second prison, the Rainstorm Hell, is a boundless world resembling a small universe. Here, the tortured souls endure a constant downpour of acidic rain with a concentration so high it can melt the soul. They die, are resurrected, and die again, in an endless cycle, until their sentence ends.

The third hell, the Stone Mill Hell, is a giant circular millstone connected to three colossal pillars capable of sweeping away everything. These pillars rotate at a constant speed on the massive millstone, and the souls being tortured are forced to run on it. They can choose not to run, but the result is that they are crushed to death by the giant pillars, and then resurrected...

Alexander Pierce, meanwhile, was in the Stone Mill Hell at that moment.

The next second after a sudden, excruciating pain ripped through his soul, Alexander Pierce appeared atop the enormous millstone in the Stone Mill Underworld, staring in horror at everything around him.

In the vast, desolate, and hopeless yellowish-brown world, in the distance, a colossal, sky-obscuring mountain pillar was rolling toward him.

No time to think too much.

Alexander Pierce turned and ran almost instinctively.

The giant pillars on the hill are chasing.

Pierce is running.

but……

He ran, he couldn't escape, but Alexander Pierce, who had just started running and realized something was wrong, didn't even have time to think about why his legs felt so heavy as if they were filled with lead before the giant pillars of the hill behind him caught up with him with a mournful whistling wind.

next second.

Alexander Pierce was crushed to death on the spot by the giant pillar of the hill.

Another second.

Alexander Pierce was resurrected behind the giant pillar on the hill, and before he could figure out what was happening, a rumbling sound came from behind him again.

into the eye.

Another giant pillar on the hill came into his view.

"WTF..."

"Welcome to my hell, Pierce."

Hawke appeared silently in the Stone Mill Hell.

Pierce's eyes narrowed as he looked at Hawke, who had appeared, and then at the frozen giant pillar of the hill.

moment.

He finally understood why Hawke had killed him so easily, and he also understood what Hawke meant by saying "it's better to be alive than dead" before he died.

It turns out that death is not the end, but the beginning.

Alexander Pierce, recalling the excruciating pain of being crushed by the giant pillar of the hill, looked at Hawke in front of him, and even his breath caught in his throat for a moment.

Although he had forgotten that he was dead and didn't need to breathe at all.

Pierce's expression shifted slightly.

Hawke chuckled.

"Do you think I'm going to keep asking you what you're hiding from me?"

"rest assured."

I won't ask.

"Because I gave you my last chance, but you didn't cherish it, and now you have no chance left."

"so……"

"You can stay here,"

"Forever and ever." "..."

By the time Alexander Pierce came to his senses, Hawke had completely vanished, and the giant hill pillar that had just been frozen in time began to rotate again.

Alexander Pierce escaped again, only to be run over and killed once more.

He will be trapped in this stone mill hell, endlessly experiencing the punishment of running away, being crushed to death, and being resurrected on the spot.

Above the Stone Mill Hell, Hawke, having finished his conversation with Alexander Pierce, looked down calmly at everything below.

Just like he just said.

He only had one chance, and he gave it to Alexander Pierce, who didn't cherish it. Since that's the case, then let Pierce be tormented for eternity with his secret.

Hawke didn't care at all what secret Alexander Pierce was hiding.

Of course.

It wasn't that he didn't care at all, but he simply couldn't fathom what secret Pierce was hiding that he would rather die than reveal.

But it's okay.

And Anna too.

When Anna dies and her soul arrives in the underworld, Hawke believes Anna will surely tell him.

Of course.

Anna is just a backup option; Hawk has other choices.

It's important to know that the leaders of Hydra are not limited to Alexander Pierce and Arnim Zola.

There are several leaders in Hydra.

Hawke also happened to know two other Hydra leaders.

First, Daniel Whitehall.

This guy is a ruthless person. He survived to this day by transplanting organs from Jia Ying, a member of the Inhuman race, who is Skye's biological mother.

That's why Hawke was so impressed with him.

but……

Hawke only knew that this person existed, but he had no idea where he was currently hiding.

But it doesn't matter, there's a second one.

Wolfgang von Schettske.

Or call it—

Baron Strucker.

Correct.

That's the Hydra leader who used the Mind Stone to activate Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver's superpowers.

Hawke knew exactly where he was.

It's in Sokovia.

Perfect timing, the Mind Stone is also in Sokovia, so I'll take this opportunity to go there and get it too.

and so--

boom!
Hawke's figure instantly appeared tens of thousands of miles above the ground. Then, accompanied by the appearance of a sonic boom cloud, his figure transformed into a rainbow and roared towards Sokovia.

at the same time.

Tony Stark, still at the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, heard Jarvis's voice.

"Sir, Mr. Phoenix's energy signal has been detected."

"Deliver it."

"Yes."

Jarvis instantly projected a live satellite image.

In the scene, Hawke flies at an extremely high speed, so the scene is stretched out to a great distance, so that there is no need to switch back and forth.

"This isn't the way back to New York, is it?"

"No."

"Can you predict his final location?"

"Hold on."

Jarvis said something, and then, based on Hawke's current flight path, a small country located in the interior of Eastern Europe, bordering Slovakia and the Czech Republic, namely Sokovia, was marked.

"Sokovia."

Tony looked at the place name, then at Natasha beside him: "Where is this? You have a S.H.I.E.L.D. base here too?"

Natasha shook her head: "No."

Tony asked curiously, "What was Hawke doing here?"

at this time.

Jarvis spoke again: "Sir, the signal has been scanned and confirmed, and the suspected Hydra signal source hidden outside Palm Street has been identified."

"Send it over."

"Has been sent."

Tony looked at the location of the signal source that Jarvis was projecting and said to Natasha, "There's nothing more for me to do here. I'm going back to New York City to take care of that hidden Hydra."

"Thank you."

"Need not."

Tony closed his visor again and walked outside: "Hawk is better than Hulk. At least Gwen is here, so I don't need to research any anti-Hawk armor."

This is the truth.

With Gwen around, Hawke could be calmed down no matter how irritable he was.

Unlike the Hulk.

They don't listen to reason at all, and when they get angry they just smash things randomly.

but……

Anti-Hawk armor?
Tony was indeed secretly researching it.

in case!
