Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 378 King Eitel the Dwarf (Second Update!!)
In the understanding of Earthlings.

The solar system is a galaxy composed of the Sun and eight planets, asteroids, comets, and other celestial bodies.

Vast and boundless.

Dazzling and mysterious.

But loneliness...

Indeed, this is true; at least in the solar system of the main universe, Earth is the only planet with life.

This was true at least until Earth was completely swept into the flow of time in the main universe.

But right now?
Hawke hovered in space, calmly watching a towering tree that was beginning to appear and disappear in his line of sight.

The towering trees, like fruit trees, contain eight great kingdoms.

Asgard, home to the Aesir gods, such as Odin.

Frigga, the goddess of Asgard, is from Vanaheim, the home of the Vanir gods.

There are also six other great kingdoms.

Originally, the World Tree consisted of nine kingdoms, known as the Nine Realms.

but……

Midgard has completely become Earth.

At the same time, due to the disappearance of the origin and the invasion of the time flow of the main universe, the World Tree can no longer stabilize itself and is constantly appearing and disappearing in the main universe.

Each appearance signifies that the main universe has gained the upper hand.

Each disappearance symbolizes a rebellion by the World Tree.

pity!

The disappearance of the origin is like a tree without water, and the invasion of the main universe is even more like locusts that have already swarmed onto the tree.

With each tremor of the World Tree, its light dimmed a little. When Ragnarok descended, it was as if a woodcutter's axe had struck the World Tree's trunk. At that point, the collapsing World Tree would no longer be able to prevent the main universe from assimilating it.

but……

Hawke had no intention of making a move.

Whether he wants to seize the World Tree or not, he won't make a move at this time.

The reason is simple.

Just as he only had one chance to manifest the Phoenix Universe, he only had one chance to seize the World Tree.

Because once Hawke makes a move, it will inevitably be exposed to time.

and so!
The timing of your move is crucial.

The actions taken must be even more ruthless.

Because the World Tree does not want to be assimilated by the main universe, it will also not choose to let Hawke occupy it.

what?
Go and make a deal with Odin?

Don't make trouble.

It's not that Hawke doesn't want to.

he thinks.

But it didn't work.

one more time.

Odin possesses the World Tree, but the World Tree does not belong to Odin.

In short, Odin cannot control the World Tree.

If Odin were in charge, the World Tree wouldn't have become dissatisfied with him and tried to replace him with a new chief god because of the loss of Earth's origin. If the World Tree hadn't become dissatisfied with Odin, then the main universe wouldn't have seized the opportunity.

Time is merciless.

Similarly, the World Tree is also like that.

therefore!

Hawke is not playing the role of a savior.

It's the yellow oriole!

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

The most important thing.

Even if Odin wanted to give him the World Tree, he wouldn't want it.

Because what Hawk wanted was his own World Tree, not the World Tree that was peacefully handed over from Odin.

And again.

He is neither the savior of Asgard nor the caretaker of Asgard.

Hawke and Thor were friends.

A qualified deity will not let personal emotions sway them when considering problems.

For example, Zeus.

and so……

He's not here to steal the World Tree, but for Nidavi.

To be precise.

Hawk came for the Gold Cloth.

Following his insights into 'life' from the gods Ego and Odin, although he still lacked a qualitative understanding of the 'eighth sense,' he did gain a quantitative one.

That was enough for him to finally produce the Phoenix Gold Cloth he had been longing for.

Originally, the World Tree existed in the main universe but was independent of it. To reach Nidavellir, one could only travel via the Rainbow Bridge that connects the nine realms.

But no more.

The World Tree is being invaded by the main universe, and every time the World Tree manifests in the main universe, it is an opportunity to go to the World Tree.

Speaking of...

Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet was probably forged by the dwarf king Etri at Nidavellir around this time.

After all, Odin, who intercepted the Asgardian ships after Asgard was destroyed, was already wearing the Infinity Gauntlet.

Hawke waited quietly for the best time to enter the World Tree, while wondering to himself.

However, Thanos probably won't be coming this time.

Since Xandar has not yet been destroyed, Thanos has not yet obtained the Power Stone.

But not necessarily.

Perhaps Xandar has already been destroyed, and Thanos, having obtained the Power Stone, is on his way here?

Hawke thought to himself, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of Xandar.

He had no intention of going to Xandar to confirm it.

Uh……

If he hadn't been planning to steal the World Tree, he might have considered going to Xandar to confirm. After all, Gwen's designated hospital was on Xandar.

If that's the case, Thanos's destruction of Xandar wasn't just destroying it; it was a slap in the face.

You've destroyed Xandar, where is my wife supposed to get checked?

But right now?
He has decided to seize the World Tree.

and so--

Let's see what fate has in store for Xandar.

Hawke thought to himself.

at this time.

hum!
The spacetime of the main universe suddenly trembled at that moment, and then the World Tree, which appeared to span the entire universe, manifested.

At this moment, the eight realms were crystal clear, with no longer any separation from the main universe.

"It's now!"

"call out!"

The moment Hawke focused his mind, he transformed into a golden light and entered the World Tree without any hindrance, then sped off towards Nivida's location.

From the outside, Nivida looks exactly like a forging factory.

But this forging plant is of interstellar scale.

Nidave has a very unique structure.

It consists of a fixed, enormous metal sphere surrounded by an incredibly complex set of concentric ring mechanical structures.

And this star ring is the engine that drives Nidavellis's entire forging system.

For this reason, Nidavellir has no mountains, no rivers, and not even vegetation inside. It is filled with countless giant machines from the inside out and from top to bottom.

The cold metal floor, the huge gears, valves, and the rumbling conveyor belts, the piles of metal for forging like hills, and the molds displayed like a mountain wall—all these constitute Nidavellis, a product that is sure to be a divine artifact.

Odin's eternal spear.

Thor's hammer.

The Destroyer that appeared in Thor's first appearance, and the Infinity Gauntlet in Odin's Vault, are just some of the many artifacts Nidavellir created.

The creator of these divine artifacts is called—

Aitrey!

The Dwarf King.

but……

The dwarfs, though pronounced as dwarves, should actually be written as giants.

Because the people of the dwarf race are all very tall, the reason they are called dwarfs is probably to highlight the contrast.

The average height of a dwarf is between 2.5 and 3 meters.

As for Etri, the dwarf king, he was a towering 3.1 meters tall, making him a true giant.

Hawke, who is 1.85 meters tall and has a strong build, looks no different from an underage baby when standing in front of Etri.

Although Hawke is not as tall as Etri, Etri does not look down on Hawke because of that.

Height can be deceiving, but aura can't!

After landing in Nidavellir, Hawke made no attempt to conceal his aura, releasing his phoenix-like presence without reservation.

As the dwarves watched Hawk descend, only one thought occupied their minds.

This is a god!

True God.

and so……

Hawke met the dwarf king Etri with great ease.

At this moment, Etri was holding a huge iron hammer, constantly striking a piece of steel that was red-hot in front of him.

This is something that the Big Hammer 80 can't compare to.

With each swing of Etrigue's hammer, Hawke could feel the metal ground beneath his feet trembling.

Hawke did not disturb Etri, who was working.

While waiting for Ettrium to finish his work, he glanced at the display case filled with various molds, which resembled a huge mountain wall.

Hawke spotted the Infinity Gauntlet mold at first glance.

Right glove!
Clearly, this is the mold from Odin's Vault, not Thanos's left gauntlet.

Right.

Thanos probably went to Xandar first, obtained the Power Stone, and then came to Nidavellir to threaten the Dwarf King into forging a left-hand version of the Infinity Gauntlet before intercepting the Asgardian spaceship.

Tsk.

Thanos isn't trustworthy either.

Hawke thought to himself that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Thanos must have used the lives of Nidavellir's dwarves to threaten Etrigue into creating it for him.

For example, if you forge weapons for me, I won't kill you.

Only in this way could Etrigue possibly help build it under Thanos's threat.

If Thanos had wiped out the dwarves first, leaving only Etri, then as the chieftain, there was no way Etri would have helped Thanos build anything.

After all, your entire clan is dead. Do you think I'm crazy to help you forge weapons?
Therefore, Thanos must have made a similar promise.

But what about the results?

Eitri was created, and Thanos immediately turned against him, slaughtering all the dwarves. Although Eitri survived, Thanos fused his hands together.

This move is undoubtedly a case of killing someone by attacking their spirit.

But that's too despicable.

The reason is simple.

A man may be despicable and shameless, but he will never break his word.

You have to accept what you say.

Just like Hawke said about Wakanda and its seafood.

If I say I'll kill your entire clan, then I'll consider it a loss if I miss even one person.

Just as Hawke was thinking this.

With a resounding thud as the hammer fell, the 3.1-meter-tall, unshaven, and unkempt dwarf king Etri put down his hammer, turned around, and looked at Hawke standing not far away, his voice low and slightly stiff.

"What do you want to create?"

"Saint Cloth!"

"..."
