Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 313 The First Person Who Was Pardoned Yet Refused (Second Update!!)
Ask questions.

How long does it take for a beam of light to travel from Nepal to New York City?

The speed of light in a vacuum is constant, approximately 300,000 kilometers per second.

Although we are currently in the atmosphere, the rate of light decay is negligible.

Nepal is about 12,000 kilometers away from New York City.

and so……

It takes about 0.04 seconds for light to travel from Nepal to New York City.

Hawke is the same.

Just as Gwen hugged Hawke tightly, thinking of keeping him busy, before she could even speak, she saw the familiar big tree and the familiar flowers and plants.

She was stunned.

Hawke raised an eyebrow as he looked at Gwen, whose mouth was agape.

"what happened?"

"you……"

Gwen looked up instinctively: "I...we're back already?"

Hawke smiled.

"After so many days of seclusion, there should be some results, otherwise, wouldn't it have been a waste of time?"

"……Too."

Upon hearing this, Gwen thought for a moment, nodded, and then placed her hands on Hawke, circling around him and examining him closely.

Hawke laughed.

"What are you doing?"

"I see something different about you."

Gwen stopped spinning and looked up at Hawke standing in front of her: "It seems like nothing has changed."

Hawke's lips twitched slightly: "Your inner power has increased."

He had nothing to hide from Gwen.

As he spoke, he pulled Gwen toward the living room.

He now feels that with a single thought, he can completely and infinitely ignite his inner universe.

Unlike before, when his power increased after his inner universe burned.

Simply put.

Previously, Hawke needed about three seconds to accelerate from zero to one hundred.

But now Hawke can brake instantly from zero to one hundred.

This is the most fundamental difference between the Seventh Sense Golden Cosmo and the Silver Cosmo.

If a hundred Bronze Saints are not enough to defeat a Silver Saint, then a thousand Silver Saints are not enough to defeat a Gold Saint.

Behind the bar in the living room.

Gwen rested her chin on her hand, listened to Hawke's story, blinked, and then summarized.

"So, you've gotten stronger again?"

"This isn't about becoming stronger or not becoming stronger..."

Hawke met Gwen's expressive emerald eyes, subconsciously corrected her, then chuckled and shook his head: "Okay, I just got stronger."

Gwen smiled brightly, then tiptoed over the bar and kissed Hawke on the forehead: "I'll go check the refrigerator, then we'll go shopping."

Hawke hummed in agreement, watching Gwen walk toward the kitchen.

My mind sank into my own little universe.

At this moment, the microcosm within it was radiating a golden aura wherever the naked eye could see.

The fire phoenix that enveloped the entire universe looked as if it had come to life completely.

The phoenix eye, adorned with the Mind Gem emitting a ghostly yellow light in its left eye, and the phoenix eye, adorned with the Reality Gem emitting a blood-red light in its right eye, illuminate the entire universe.

Above the Pure Land of the Underworld, one sees a blood-red sky illuminated by the Reality Gem.

At this moment.

At the entrance of a flower shop beside the River Styx, Anna, dressed in a female blood elf outfit, was curiously looking at the phoenix's corner reflected in the blood-red sky above.

Hawke appeared silently and glanced in the direction Anna was looking up.

"Want to go outside the underworld?"

"..."

Anna's body tensed instinctively, but she quickly relaxed, turned around to look at Hawke who had appeared, and greeted him.

"Hawk."

"Want to take a look?"

Hawke smiled.

Anna didn't act coy.

"May I?"

"of course."

Hawke spoke thus, and with a thought, he took Anna beside him and left the Underworld, appearing above it.
The boundless universe.

Golden charm.

A fiery phoenix whose body blots out the sky.

The left eye is a pale yellow.

The right eye is bloodshot.

as well as--

Below is what appears to be a parallel continent unfolding in the universe, representing the underworld.

Anna looked down at the underworld.

"I thought the underworld was spherical too."

"In the future, it will be."

Hawke smiled.

The Underworld was created by him using fragments of the Witch Heart Demon's Laws of Life and Death, along with the Reality Gem.

He did not grasp the complete laws of life and death.

If he had mastered the laws of life and death, he would have already begun to send the souls that exist in the underworld to various planets in his universe.

The more living beings his universe contains, the less the instinctive repulsion from the Marvel universe will be when the universe materializes.

after all……

A freeloader joined the group.

One of them brought in capital to invest. Even the Marvel Cinematic Universe itself knows how to make the right choice.

after awhile.

After Anna said it was okay, Hawke returned to the Pure Land of the Underworld once again.

After Anna stepped back onto the sacred ground, she said goodbye to Hawke.

"Thank you."

"We are friends, and that relationship will not change."

Hawke said that, then changed the subject: "How have you been in the Underworld these past few days?"

Anna looked relaxed and spoke sincerely.

"I feel very comfortable. This carefree life is something I never dared to imagine before."

"as long as you are happy."

Hawke smiled and said, “If you want to exempt Alexander Pierce, I have no objection, Anna.”

He had thought Anna would send Alexander Pierce a flower from the underworld.

result……

Anna did not pardon Alexander Pierce.

Hawke didn't believe Anna was smart enough not to understand the unspoken meaning behind his gift of the florist to her.

His anger toward Alexander Pierce had long since vanished with Anna's arrival.

Look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face.

Because Anna was his friend, he granted her the right of exemption.

Anna shook her head after hearing Hawke's words.

"I want to wait a little longer."

"Row."

Hawke smiled and replied, "The Nether Flower is in your hands, so you can make your own decisions. I'll go to the Netherworld first. I haven't properly entertained Sistrek since he arrived."

Anna was slightly taken aback and looked at Hawke.

Hawke understood the meaning in Anna's eyes.

"Let's go and see together?"

"Thank you."

Anna nodded without hesitation.

The Third Hell of the Underworld.

Stone mill hell.

There are always three colossal stone pillars on the rolling, endless wilderness, enough to crush everything.

Sitori, Namor, the remnants of Wakanda, and the people of Talokan were all serving their sentences in this prison.

By the time Hawke arrived, these people had been crushed to death by the stone pillars more than 100,000 times.

But they continued to run desperately across the endless wilderness, not only because of the excruciating pain of being crushed to death by the stone pillars, but also because they clung to a sliver of hope that if they ran far enough, they might be able to escape the crushing stone pillars.

but……

This is impossible.

They can never reach the end, because, in their perception, they seem to be constantly striving to run forward.

But in Hawke's and Anna's eyes, they were running in a circle across the endless wilderness.

The stone pillars roll.

Sitor felt the rumbling rolling sound behind him, turned his head and looked at the stone pillars that seemed to be coming down like a dark cloud.

next moment.

He was crushed to death by the stone pillar, and then, accompanied by heart-wrenching screams, Sitor and the others, who had been resurrected once again, embarked on the road of running once more.

Hawke stood above the Third Prison, silently watching Sitor and the others die one after another beneath the stone pillars.

Anna, standing to the side, watched Hawke for a while, who seemed to be making no move, and became somewhat curious.

"Didn't you want to talk to Sitor?"

"never mind."

Hawke withdrew his gaze and chuckled. "Meeting him would give him hope, but I don't want to give him any more hope. Let him suffer here forever. By the way, you can't give him your flowers; he's the kind of person who won't be spared even if he's granted a pardon."

Anna chuckled. "I won't blame him. If it weren't for him, you might have discovered his bad deeds sooner."

When Hawke heard Anna say this, he remembered the Anna he had seen in the past when he was shrinking the timeline. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Anna and said, "Actually, this is my reason."

Anna was slightly taken aback.

Hawke chuckled: "Aren't you curious why the hydra that didn't directly confront the Phoenix Flame were all reduced to ashes, but you, holding her, are only on the verge of death?"

Anna blinked.

Hawke didn't mince words and simply explained that he had traveled through time recently and subconsciously shielded her from some of the Phoenix Flames.

It was an instinctive action on his part.

and so……

It would be strange if Anna was in a coma for two years; it was definitely his responsibility.

After giving a brief description, Hawke changed the subject: "Hey, I saw the look on your face when you were holding the violin. You really like kids?"

Anna was taken aback at first, but she didn't press the previous question further. She nodded and said, "I have thought about having my own child."

Being a mother is something every woman longs for.

Except for women who love cats but have no children.

Hawke looked at Anna's expression and chuckled, "Maybe there will be opportunities in the future. My universe will only get better and better. Maybe in the near future, you will meet your Mr. Right."

Upon hearing this, Anna glanced at Hawke.

"Is this a blessing from Hades?"

"Do not."

Hawke said seriously, "This is a blessing from a friend."

He did not linger in the underworld. After giving up the idea of ​​meeting Sistrek, he sent Anna back to the Pure Land, talked with his sister for a while, and then left the underworld.

The mind ascends.

Hawke opened his eyes, sorting through the myriad thoughts one by one. Then, as if he were soaring above the entire city of New York, his seventh sense had already enveloped the city the moment he opened his eyes, compared to the speed of his sixth sense.

"Seven Senses - Visualization"

As a flash of gold appeared in Hawke's pupils, a church came into view.

Inside the church, in front of the statue of Jesus, a priest who looked to be about sixty years old, with snow-white hair and a loving expression, was chanting something as if in prayer.
