Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 244 Common Characteristics of Western Deities (Second Update!)

As the SHIELD satellite signal came online, both SHIELD Commander Victoria Hand and SHIELD Director Maria Hill looked over simultaneously.

Eye-catching!

In the middle of the sea, a huge crater suddenly appeared, with calm seawater below and sea walls that met the sky on all sides.

Fortunately, the Aegis satellite was in the sky. Although the signal was slightly interfered with and snow appeared from time to time, the two figures that kept colliding, separating, and then colliding again were still clearly visible.

The crimson energy undoubtedly belongs to Hawke.

But this energy, as deep blue as the ocean...

Can it be enlarged?

"No."

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent quickly said, "This is the limit; the energy overflow is too great."

Hill nodded.

"Capture as much footage as possible, then create a file and perform identification."

"clear."

"boom!"

Hawke's attack was simple and unadorned; he once again punched Nemo's trident, which Namor was thrusting at him.

The clash between fists and tridents once again resounded throughout the arena temporarily constructed from seawater.

The trident trembled.

Using this force, Namor retreated to the top of the sea wall, glanced down at his slightly sore right hand, and then looked up at Hawke.

Hawke stood calmly in mid-air.

“I could play like this all day long.”

"Me too!"

Namor chuckled, then with a whoosh, dodged Hawke's fist and glided along the sea wall to the calm surface of the bottom of the pit. Then, with a thud, he planted the trident in front of him.

The walls of water surrounding the pit seemed to have heard a command and collapsed into the pit in an instant.

Without hesitation, Hawke looked up and his figure flashed, appearing above the sea the instant the water wall collapsed.

Wow!
The endless seawater instantly filled the entire pit, and at the same time swallowed Namor, who was holding a trident at the bottom of the pit.

"died?"

A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, who was secretly observing the battle from a distance using the S.H.I.E.L.D. satellite, looked at Namor being swallowed by the sea on the big screen and said with some excitement.

Well known.

Phoenix helped S.H.I.E.L.D. resolve the Hydra's chaos, so Phoenix is ​​S.H.I.E.L.D.'s friend.

Since Hawke is a friend of S.H.I.E.L.D., then Hawke's enemies are essentially the same as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s enemies.

and so……

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are on Hawke's side.

Victoria Hand and Maria Hill did not speak.

They stared at Hawke, who was standing in mid-air on the big screen.

Hawke stared blankly at the sea below.

died?

how is this possible.

Namor is the Sea King.

He could die anywhere, but not in the ocean.

Just like Mephisto, unless you can destroy the Hell Dimension itself, Mephisto within the Hell Dimension is an immortal being.

The same goes for Namor.

Namor, who resides in the ocean, possesses power comparable to Thor.

Like now.

Hawke's six senses pinpointed and detected Namor's movement in the sea.

With a whoosh, Namor returned to the ocean and sped towards the deep sea at supersonic speed, seemingly trying to escape.

But next second.

Namor, who had returned almost instantly, raised his trident high above Hawke on the sea with a bang.

boom!
A massive water column, as thick as the World Tree, instantly formed, sweeping up the endless seawater around it. It spun around and then, like a volcanic eruption, rapidly rose to the surface of the sea before hurtling towards Hawke, who was standing in mid-air.

then……

The towering jet of water missed its target.

Namor, holding his trident, stood steadily atop the water column that was flowing upstream, watching Hawke appear not far away.

"I thought you wouldn't run away."

"Ah."

Hawke, who had dodged the water jet attack, chuckled upon hearing this: "Who was the first to escape into the water?"

Namo stood on the water column, arms outstretched.

"The ocean is my home, but you broke into my home first."

"Do not."

Hawke calmly watched Namor, whose skin was turning black from the movement as he stood on the water column: "Remember, you provoked me first."

Namo was taken aback at first, then sneered.

"and then?"

"It's nothing. I just want you to remember this. Don't wait until you and your kingdom are destroyed by me like Wakanda, and then you won't know why I destroyed you."

"Just like your wife's brother."

“After I destroyed Wakanda, he survived and asked me why I destroyed Wakanda. Do you know how I answered him?”

Hawke looked at Namor with a smile, his tone as calm as if he were talking about something trivial.

Namo, however, had a furrowed brow.

"What?" "I said—"

"Destroying you is none of your business!"

"So, I told you in advance, so that when I destroy your country, you won't ask such a stupid question. I gave you a chance."

Hawke's face broke into a smile.

next second.

Disappeared instantly!
Sixth Sense—Instant Teleportation!

Standing on the water column, Namo sensed a danger approaching from behind and instantly brandished his trident.

But Hawke appeared beside him and, with a bang, sent Namor flying off the water column.

Bang, bang, bang!
Namo, who was instantly knocked onto the sea surface, was not swallowed by the seawater. Instead, he glided on the water like a skipping stone, adjusting his posture with the surging seawater in an arc, and roared as he hurled his Nemo Trident at Hawke.

Bang!
This time, Hawke did not choose to exchange punches with Nemo's Trident. Instead, he turned to the side and, just as Nemo's Trident brushed past him, his fist struck the long shaft of Nemo's Trident directly.

Nemo's trident was instantly spun away like a meteor.

Seeing this, Namor opened his right hand and chose to recall the trident.

But next second.

Hawke reappeared behind Namor, and with a tearing sound, slammed heavily into Namor's back.

Namo also fell towards the sea like a shooting star.

boom!
A powerful splash appeared, and this time Namo's entry into the water was not as elegant and smooth as before. Instead, it was like a meteorite falling from the sky, splashing countless water droplets as it crashed into the sea.

"Your strength is indeed about the same as Thor's."

“You even resemble Thor quite a bit.”

"One is a hammer god, the other a fork god."

"how."

"After losing Nemo's Trident, you're no longer able to control the ocean?"

Hawke watched as Namor quickly adjusted his posture and resurfaced after entering the water, said something, and then looked at the Nemo Trident that he had knocked away in the distance.

next second.

boom!
Hawke's figure soared through the air, rapidly heading towards the direction of Nemo's trident.

Seeing this, Namor also quickly sank into the sea and rushed toward his trident at supersonic speed.

Hawke is in the sky.

Namo is at sea.

The Trident of Nemo, still spinning and flying close to the sea surface, is the finish line of the race.

The difference is...

Hawke didn't care about the prize, but Namo did.

Hawke looked down at Namor, who was swimming at almost the same speed as him in the sea. His six senses detected that the scales on the right side of Namor's back, near its buttocks, seemed to be somewhat dull as Namor swam quickly.

If nothing unexpected happens, that place is Namor's Achilles' heel from Marvel's Aquaman.

Achilles is a god in Western mythology who is invulnerable to weapons and immortal.

But he had a weakness: his heel. So he was shot in the heel and died.

Yes.

Achilles, the god who was said to be invulnerable and immortal, died because his heels were not covered.

That sounds ridiculous.

But this is a common characteristic of Western deities.

Every god, no matter how powerful, even if they are omnipotent, omniscient, and all-powerful, has a weakness.

Marvel, being a Western company, naturally adheres to this commonality.

and so……

Hawke found Namor's Achilles' heel.

next second.

The moment his figure flashed, he plunged into the sea, and at that moment, his right fist appeared, instantly striking the weak spot on Namon's back near his buttocks.

Nemo, who was swimming quickly, trying to retrieve his divine trident before Hawke, was about to grasp the Trident when suddenly, a chill ran down his spine. He became alert and, while holding the Trident, shifted slightly to the side.

but--

Hawke's supersonic punches, though not all of them landed, still managed to hit Namor's vital weak points.

Poof!
Namo's face flushed instantly, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, his body plummeted into the deep sea like lightning.

Its speed is so fast that it is almost close to the speed of light.

Hawke, who had already entered the sea, raised an eyebrow and quickly chased after Namor, who was plummeting downwards.

Boom!

Holding a trident, Namor crashed into the seabed like a cannonball after falling into the deep sea.

The seabed snapped open, and bubbles spewed out continuously from the break, causing the surrounding seawater to become turbid at a visible speed.

Just as Hawke was rapidly chasing downwards, and saw that the unconscious Namor was about to be swallowed by the broken seabed, a gigantic octopus, which had lived in the deep sea for countless years and was almost the size of two Titanic ships, appeared and swept towards Hawke with its countless tentacles.

As Hawke entered the sea, the surface of the North Pacific Ocean seemed to return to calm.

but……

Maria Hill and Victoria Hand, watching from a distance, kept their eyes glued to the sea.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the operations center stopped what they were doing, even forgetting to breathe, and stared intently at the big screen.

Time ticked by.

until--

Dawn breaks on the horizon!

boom!
……
