Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 376 The Phoenix Arrives, It Will Not Perch on Anything But the Wutong Tree (Third Update!!!)

indeed!

Hawke has more than one way of making his Phoenix Universe a reality.

only……

The Phoenix Galaxy is the simplest and most convenient one.

Because the Phoenix Galaxy is there.

visible.

It's tangible.

Furthermore, his divine authority also originates from there, making the combination of the Phoenix Galaxy and the Reality Stone the best choice.

none of them.

But right now, this best option faces a problem.

Time Trap!

Although all of this was his speculation after talking with Odin.

All of this is based on doubt.

It's even possible that Hawke was searching for enemies in the void, making himself overthink things that weren't actually happening.

but!
one more time.

Detectives need evidence to solve cases.

Hawke only needs to be skeptical when it comes to doing things.

So even mere suspicion was enough to make him hesitate to act rashly.

After all, you only get one chance.

Once he decides to materialize the Phoenix Universe, even if he discovers it's a trap, he can't undo it with a single click like he does with typing.

The energy generated by the explosion of the Phoenix Universe at the moment it manifested was something that even Hawke could not recover.

and so……

You only get one chance!
This is a struggle over the principles.

Well known.

There's still room for negotiation regarding the conflict of interests.

But is the Way of the Way contention?
The struggle for the Dao is a fight to the death.

Either you die.

Either I die.

There is no third way!
Hawke would not willingly give up his plan to materialize his own universe, because that would seem to avoid conflict with time and allow him to continue living.

but……

What's the difference between this and merely prolonging one's life?

Although there's an old saying, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.

But there is an old saying that goes, "A great man is born between heaven and earth, how can he live a life of mediocrity and subservience to others for long!"
Princes and generals, I would rather be kind!
and so!
Only what you control in your own hands is real; placing your hopes on others is a joke in itself.

The most important thing.

Even if he surrenders, time will not let him go unless he chooses to accept a death that time has arranged for him, perhaps a very long time from now, but he is destined to die. Only then will time be at peace.

Just like the Ancient One.

Like Odin.

all in all.

Surrender and you lose half; this path is blocked.

Then let's take a different route.

After deciding to play a game of life or death with time, Hawke sat cross-legged on his own galaxy of time, the Mind Stone shining brightly, while contemplating the life force he had received from Odin, and once again unleashing a mental storm.

The core of what he wants to manifest in his Phoenix Universe is very simple.

Just like Odin's attempt to invade the main universe.

Both he and Odin need a fulcrum, a fulcrum that exists in the main universe, so that their power can manifest in this universe.

Hawke chose the Reality Stone.

He uses the Reality Gem to illuminate his own microcosm, thereby manifesting his power in reality.

Odin chose Midgard, which is Earth.

He brought Midgard into the main universe by cutting it off from the World Tree, turning it into Earth, thus making the power system of the World Tree universe truly exist in the main universe.

Unfortunately, Odin was outmaneuvered by time.

He died before he could achieve his goals.

But this is not the point.

The key point is that Hawk's core method of manifesting his own cosmos is essentially no different from Odin's system of manifesting the World Tree power by throwing Earth out of the planet.

He also needs a fulcrum.

Hawke originally intended to use the Reality Stone to replace this fulcrum.

But is there any way to do it without using the Reality Stone?
Have.

Mephisto had previously told him that he could use the Heavenly Dimension as a fulcrum to materialize his own Phoenix Universe.

Jehovah serves the group of gods.

The Celestials serve eternity, were created by the eternity of time, and help him maintain the order of time in the main multiverse.

Therefore, Jehovah's heavenly dimension, although it is a dimension, possesses the characteristics of the Lord's multidimensional nature.

This is why Mephisto, after taking over the Heaven dimension, was able to travel to the multiverse to expand his territory in Hell.

but……

Mephisto can use it, but he can't.

Hawke thought of Jehovah's heavenly dimension, his mind racing, and he couldn't help but feel a secret sense of relief.

Although he thought Jehovah was a cunning old fox because of the Blood God Dimension, that's why he handed over the Heaven Dimension to Mephisto.

Fortunately, he thought Jehovah was a cunning old fox; otherwise, if he had used it then, he would have fallen into the trap of time.

Even if the Heavenly Dimension were perfect, he still couldn't use it.

Ultimately, the Heavenly Dimension belongs to the eternity of time; using the Heavenly Dimension as a fulcrum is no different from luring someone into a trap.

The "lord" here refers to Hawke.

But besides the heavenly dimension, are there any other ways to serve as a fulcrum?

The answer is yes.

Have.

Just very little.

Hawke calmed down and the two requirements for the 'fulcrum' he needed came to mind.

First, it needs to exist in the main universe.

it is necessary.

After all, if he doesn't exist in the main universe, even if he manifests the Phoenix Universe, his power still cannot be projected into the main universe.

Secondly, he cannot exist within the time of the main universe. This is also easily explained.

What is the purpose of his manifestation of the universe?

Be the boss.

If he manifests a universe only to find that the time of the main universe still overrides that of his mind, then what's the point of all that effort?

It's better to surrender, negotiate with time, and strive for a painless ending billions of years from now.

and so……

The fulcrum he needs must exist in the main universe, but it cannot exist in the time of the main universe.

Just as Hawke was summarizing what kind of fulcrum he needed, a name popped into his mind: Ejection.

world Tree!
Odin sacrificed Midgard so that the power of the World Tree system could manifest in the main universe.

Therefore, the World Tree universe exists within the main universe.

At the same time, the World Tree universe is not within the time of the main universe.

That's how it will be, at least until Ragnarok ends.

therefore!

The World Tree perfectly fulfills all of Hawke's requirements for the 'fulcrum' needed for the manifestation of the Phoenix Universe.

"There's just a small problem."

"what is the problem."

The next morning, Gwen, who was busy making breakfast for the two of them in the kitchen, listened to Hawke's story and then turned to look at Hawke while standing in front of the stove.

Hawke, who was sitting on a high stool on the kitchen island, chuckled upon hearing this and looked at Gwen.

"You told me to proceed cautiously and steadily, remember?"

"Entering the arena and racing against time to seize the World Tree is not a matter of playing it safe; it's a head-on confrontation."

Originally, the World Tree was already his for the taking.

Odin is about to take his final bow.

Once the Ragnarok script, which is scheduled to unfold, is completed, there will no longer be a World Tree universe independent of the main universe.

But if he enters the arena, it would be tantamount to snatching the World Tree from the hands of time.

What's the difference between this and snatching food from a tiger's mouth?

Gwen listened to Hawke's explanation, put the cut pieces of bread into the bread machine, and then turned around to meet Hawke's gaze.

"Can you take it from me?"

"what?"

Hawke raised an eyebrow.

Gwen shrugged: "Can you guarantee you'll get your hands on the World Tree?"

Hawke frowned, then thought for a moment.

next second.

He nodded.

"of course."

Before speaking with Odin, Hawke had assumed that the time traps were caused by the eternity of time.

But after speaking with Odin, he learned that the time trap was a reaction of time itself out of instinct.

There is no such thing as eternity, only time.

and so……

If Eternity doesn't intervene and is merely a matter of time, he can snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

Although Hawke had previously stated that he didn't really want to get involved in Ragnarok.

The explanation for high emotional intelligence is that circumstances change.

Low emotional intelligence.

He had gotten involved in this matter before without any reward, but now, he has not only received a reward, but a huge one.

of course.

High returns come with high risks.

Let's say that.

If he didn't use the World Tree as a fulcrum, he could manifest his own microcosm at any time after awakening his eighth sense.

However, if he absolutely uses the World Tree as a fulcrum, the eighth sense will not be enough for the Phoenix Universe to emerge; at the very least, the ninth sense, also known as the Amara consciousness, must be awakened.

The Ninth Sense is also the final destination for Masami Kurumada, the creator god.

As for the Omega-level microcosm...

Sorry.

Those are not part of the same power system.

The reason why he had to awaken his Ninth Sense in order to manifest the Phoenix Universe after using the World Tree Universe as a fulcrum is also quite simple.

Hawke looked at Gwen, who looked confused, thought for a moment, and then used an analogy.

"You can think of it this way: if I didn't use the World Tree as a fulcrum, what's encasing me would be an eggshell. With a gentle peck, the shell would break, and I could get out."

"But with the World Tree as a fulcrum, hehe, it really becomes as difficult as a phoenix emerging from its shell."

Gwen blinked.

Hawke opened his mouth: "Crocodile, baby crocodile hatching."

Gwen suddenly realized.

She didn't understand the phoenix; after all, it was a legendary creature.

But crocodiles, she knows crocodiles well.

Well known.

Crocodile eggs are very sturdy. Except for some strong baby crocodiles that can hatch on their own, most other crocodiles cannot hatch. The mother crocodile needs to hold the egg in her mouth and carefully help the baby crocodile hatch by using her sharp molars.

only……

Gwen looked at Hawke with some confusion.

"Why does having a World Tree as a support make it harder for you to hatch?"

"The reason is simple."

"what?"

"because……"

Hawke looked at Gwen, who looked confused, and smiled slightly, his voice soft and low.

"When the phoenix comes to pay homage, it will not perch on anything but the parasol tree!"

"world Tree……"

"It could also be a sycamore tree!"

"..."
