Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 383 Hulk, Hulk, Hulk Again (First Update!)

Asgard Golden Palace!

At this moment, Hela, the goddess of death, wearing a crown that resembled giant deer antlers, was pinning her half-brother against the railing on the terrace of the Golden Palace.

Thor, whose eye had been gouged out by his half-sister, had lightning flashing in his single eye, as if he had returned to the cliffs of Norway and seen his father once again.

Just then!
Hawke's voice, accompanied by the cry of a phoenix, resounded across the chaotic skies above Asgard.

"In the name of Phoenix, Nidavellir will receive my eternal protection!!!"

"..."

Hela, who was holding Thor by the neck, suddenly looked up upon hearing the voice and then looked in the direction of the Nidawi Kingdom.

"Nidav?"

Phoenix.

"Very good."

A cold smile appeared on Hela's deathly face, which was filled with deep-set eyes and grayish-white eyeballs like dusty pearls.

She has been back in Asgard for quite some time now.

but……

In particular, Hela has been gone for so long that Odin has completely erased her from history, which makes it impossible for Hela to take over Asgard smoothly.

Simply put.

It has lost the support of the people.

But it doesn't matter.

Hela's doctrine is based on blood and fear. If someone is uncooperative, fine, just kill them.

Her response to the rebellion in Asgard was this: since her people wanted to die in battle and go to Valhalla, she would grant their wish.

Therefore, after Hela returned, she immediately unleashed a bloodbath in Asgard.

Hela completely wiped out Asgard's armed forces.

As for the common people of Asgard?
Although most of the Asgardian civilians took refuge in Asgard's caves with Heimdall's help, many others lost their lives in the rebellion. However, because they died in battle, their souls had the opportunity to go to Valhalla!
Hela did the same for Asgard.

She did the same for other countries.

Especially in Vanaheim.

That is, the maternal family of the goddess Frigga, but similarly, Vanaheim is also considered Hela's maternal family.

After all, the Aesir gods have always been linked to the Vanir gods through marriage.

But this time, Hela showed no mercy to her mother race, Vanaheim. After resurrecting the army of the dead who had been separated and sealed by Odin with the Eternal Flame from the basement of Odin's Vault, the first thing she did was to send her army of the dead to charge Vanaheim.

The wheels were laid flat, leaving no one alive.

Don't ask Hela why she's so heartless.

Because they deserve it.

At least that's what Hela thinks. As her mother's people, after she was imprisoned, instead of trying to rescue her, they sent Odin a new wife.

Ok.

Since the Vanir gods wanted to play the coward, Hela felt that what she had to do was very simple.

Let them turn into dead turtles!
So Hela commanded her army of the dead to completely annihilate Vanaheim.

Hela originally planned to conquer Vanaheim and then send her army of the dead to other worlds to announce the end of Odin's rule and the beginning of Hela's rule. However, the rebellion in Asgard had already begun to escalate.

So Hela planned to conquer Asgard first, and then go to other kingdoms.

In any case, other kingdoms, such as the frost giants, fire giants, and dark elves, were crippled by Odin and Hela in the early days, and Asgard has always imposed a blockade policy on them.

As for Nidave.

The planet of craftsmen is nothing to fear in Hela's eyes.

This is why, after Hela's return, while Asgard was in turmoil and Vanaheim was stained with blood, other nations and the Nidavellir were able to remain uninvolved.

But right now?
Nidavi has really messed things up for her.

Odin has fallen, but she is still here. As a result, Nidavellir did not sign a new covenant with her, but instead signed a sacred covenant of protection with an outsider.

What is this called?

They betray their own people.

Traitor.

and so……

Hela was furious. In her rage, she went to Nidavellir and slaughtered them, using her blood to tell the other nations a bloody truth.

She, Hela, the goddess of death, has returned.

However, despite these thoughts, the immediate troubles still need to be addressed first.

Hela originally did not intend to kill Thor.

After all, the souls of Asgardians who die in battle return to Valhalla.

That's a great place.

With mountains and water, carefree and without worries, it is truly a paradise for the World Tree.

But Hela has no intention of letting Thor go to Valhalla.

Her original plan was to defeat Thor, then leave him aside, and deal with him after the fight was over.

In this way, Thor would be unable to go to Valhalla, and his soul would have only one place to go.

Her Helheim.

But not anymore.

She needs to deal with Thor as soon as possible, and then, at top speed, go to Nidavellir to launch a swift counterattack against Nidavellir, against that Outer God of Phoenix.

therefore--

Hela looked at her half-brother, who was under her father's command, and a cold smile appeared on her icy lips.

"Goodbye, my dear brother..."

"Kacha!"

Just as Hela finished speaking, Thor, who heard his father Odin's voice but not Hawk's, opened his one eye.

next moment.

A massive bolt of lightning appeared, and as Thor's one eye and hands flashed with dazzling arcs of electricity, it struck the Golden Palace of Asgard with a deafening roar.

The terrace where Thor and Hela were located was surrounded by endless lightning.

then……

Amidst the immense lightning, Hela was blasted away from the Golden Palace.

And Thor.

Thor descended from the sky, his body crackling with lightning, even his single eye crackling with lightning, and landed on the Rainbow Bridge, thus beginning his own moment of enlightenment as the God of Thunder.

"Finally!" "A god!"

"good."

Hawk, who had concealed himself in the air using the Reality Stone, watched Thor unleash his powerful and unrestrained attacks. Beneath his phoenix mask, Hawk's face revealed a look of joy at his friend's progress.

This is not a pretense, but the truth.

Even if he was thinking of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

But as Hawke said before.

Private is private, public is public.

The most important thing.

The gears of Ragnarok have already begun to turn, and no one can stop them.

Even Hawke couldn't stop it.

True.

His intervention now could indeed postpone Ragnarok, but he still couldn't kill Hela.

Because Hela's power comes from Asgard.

As long as Hela stands on the land of Asgard, her power will increase.

Didn't you see Hela when she first appeared, her clothes were tattered and she looked like a delinquent? But after returning to Asgard, her clothes were gradually repaired and her complexion improved?

Therefore, as long as Asgard is not destroyed, Hela is virtually invincible.

The most important thing.

Hawke's actions would do him no good and only harm.

Luckily, he helped his friend.

But I was unlucky.

Don't forget, once he makes a move, he will be exposed to time. What if time uses his kindness to trap him in a time trap?

Hawke will help his friends.

But if this favor comes at the cost of my own life, then I'm sorry.

This is not Hawke trying to avoid harm or seek benefit.

But...

Knowing full well that your actions won't change anything, and instead you get yourself involved, isn't compassion; it's foolishness.

Let's say that.

If it were someone from the East, even knowing it was impossible, he would still go up there.

Because the East believes that the heavens are fifty, with forty-nine remaining, and one disappearing.

In the East, there is always a glimmer of hope in everything.

But this is the West.

and so!
Hawk simply stood quietly in the sky above Asgard, watching Thor display his divine power as the god of thunder as he battled the army of the dead on the Rainbow Bridge.

and also……

The Hulk was drinking water in Asgard, fighting with Fenrir the giant wolf.

Yes.

Hulk.

You heard right, it's the Hulk who, in Hawke's memory, was once drowned by himself and then once beaten to death by himself.

The Hulk has come back to life.

but……

Hawke's expression showed little surprise when he saw Hulk fighting with Fenrir the giant wolf.

Because this Hulk is not the Hulk he killed.

Because even time itself cannot possibly bring the already dead Hulk back to life.

It's impossible for it to do.

Hulk was killed by Hawke.

More than once.

twice.

Furthermore, Hulk occupies a very important page or two in Hawk's past timeline. Simply put, Hulk's death has become a fixed point in Hawk's timeline.

In a word.

In Hawke's time, Hulk must die.

Hulk is dead too.

Therefore, even if time itself in the main universe has been compressed, it is impossible to resurrect Hulk.

Therefore, there is only one possibility.

The Hulk in front of us seems to have accidentally traveled from some multiverse to fill the void left by Hawke in the main universe.

Hawke had already sensed the faint, unique spatial fluctuations emanating from Hulk.

However, he was not interested in the Hulk in front of him, nor did he have any intention of killing it.

His feud with Hulk is over.

The first time he killed Hulk, they were even. As for the second time, it was simply Bruce Banner willingly sacrificing himself for love.

All Hawke did was grant him his wish.

and so……

Hawke glanced at the alien Hulk who was fighting Fenrir the Great Wolf, then turned his gaze to Hela, who was making her reappearance and was ready to fight Thor to the death on the Rainbow Bridge.

wrong.

Where's Loki?

Hawke raised his eyebrows.

next moment.

His gaze pierced through space and he quickly noticed Loki, who, taking advantage of the chaos, was running towards Odin's vault at Thor's instruction.

Hawke's lips curled into a smile.

finally--

It's time to start!
