Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 401 Thiam, She Understands Me (First Update!)

Hawke met Wanda's gaze, his eyes calm, and smiled slightly.

Helping the Earth?

Ah.

Why should he help Earth? Just because he is an Earthling?

With great power comes great responsibility?
Don't make trouble.

Responsibility is never linked to ability; it is always linked to rights.

Well known.

When an official does not make the decision for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Rights and responsibilities.

and so……

With great power comes great responsibility?
No.

With great power comes great responsibility!

Besides being a human, what else is Hawke?

and so!
He doesn't represent the Earth.

The most important thing.

Hawke thought to himself, then calmly looked at Wanda: "I've already told Sharon about the solution."

Wanda's gaze sharpened slightly upon hearing this.

"Through elimination?"

"You think this is cruel?"

"You can think of it as the Earth getting sick, a disease that causes an explosion once the number of life forms exceeds a certain threshold. Now there are two choices: the first is to take matters into your own hands, and the second is to cherish the remaining days and become the nutrients for the explosion."

"If you had to choose, which one would you pick?"

Hawke smiled slightly as he looked at Wanda's slightly furrowed expression, and then looked at Wanda with some curiosity, seemingly quite intrigued by her choice.

Wanda's expression froze as she faced Hawke's two choices.

Hawke didn't urge Wanda; instead, while Wanda was thinking, he was also pondering another question.

In a word.

Sitting idly by and waiting for death has never been in his nature.

Moreover, he promised Gwen that he would go to the universe where Gwen was and personally bring her back.

and so……

Hawke still wants to travel through the multiverse to find his Gwen.

but!
The time trap was there, and the eighth sense wasn't so easy to grasp; he didn't want Gwen to wait too long.

This is a vicious cycle.

It may seem like a vicious cycle, but Hawke is more convinced that when all seems lost, a new path will appear.

There must be a way to circumvent the time trap and travel to the multiverse.

He just hasn't found it yet.

Hawke had a vague feeling that he should know this method, but he still couldn't remember it since returning from the World Tree of the Sycamore.

Just as Hawke was thinking this.

Wanda, who was standing beside her, snapped out of her thoughts and revealed her choice.

"I do not know."

"It's normal."

Hawke snapped out of his reverie, listened to Wanda's answer, and smiled slightly, saying, "It was just a casual chat, don't take it to heart."

His Wanda is not the Wanda from other universes who experienced the pain of losing her father and son, never met Agatha Christie, and then turned into the Scarlet Witch.

Hawke's Wanda experience was not extensive.

From the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to Westview, it was a seamless transition. Wanda originally harbored thoughts of avenging her parents, but now that the Maximovs have returned, they have one daughter and two sons, and are very happy.

and so……

It's normal that his Wanda can't make a choice.

Wanda frowned slightly as she listened to Hawke's words of comfort, then seemed to think of something: "If it were Gwen, how would Gwen respond?"

Hawke raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"Gwen?"

"Yes, if it were Gwen, which choice would Gwen make?"

"Her."

Hawke put his hands in his pockets and shrugged.

"The first type."

"Clear..."

"This is a question of survival or destruction. It is a difficult problem that can only be solved by reason, not by emotion. When emotion cannot solve the problem, Gwen will choose reason without hesitation."

Either save yourself.

Either destruction.

Although self-rescue may require a continent to step forward and make sacrifices.

but……

Sacrificing one continent can save other continents; sacrificing a small portion can save a large portion. Therefore, from a survival perspective, this is the optimal choice.

no doubt.

When the five superpowers heard the choice between "survival" and "destruction," they would choose "survival" without hesitation.

As for which continent to sacrifice?
It’s so hard to guess.

of course.

All of this was a choice made by Earthlings themselves, and had nothing to do with Hawke.

Wanda frowned as she listened to Hawke's answer.

"The first one?"

"Of course."

Hawke snapped out of his reverie, changed the subject, looked at Wanda, and chuckled: "When Gwen makes the first choice, she will ask me if there is any way to solve that cancer inside the Earth."

Wanda paused for a moment, then looked up at Hawke.

"Can you do that?"

"of course."

Hawke shrugged. "I encountered a celestial being on Earth a few years ago, absorbed some of his energy, and slowed down his birth. So, yes, I have a way to solve it."

It wasn't possible before.

It's because they lack the strength.

it's OK now.

Wanda's mind went blank upon hearing Hawke's answer.

"This is the third option, which you didn't tell me about."

"This is a hidden option."

"..."

Wanda opened her mouth, looked at Hawke's smiling face, and shook her head.

"Then you will..."

"will not!"

Hawke's answer was decisive, then he changed the subject and looked at Wanda: "Then guess why I don't intend to get involved in this matter."

Wanda met Hawke's ambiguous smile, her thoughts racing.

next second.

She considered a possibility, and the more she looked at Hawke's expression, the more convinced she became that her guess was correct. As is widely known...

Hawke has three things he dislikes.

One is that I'm afraid of the dark.

Secondly, I'm afraid of ghosts.

Three things to fear: fish.

This information was disseminated after the second Pentagon incident.

Of course.

This news is limited to a small circle of people; only those who are qualified to know it can know, and those who are not qualified to know it are not qualified to know.

Wanda is an atypical family member, but an atypical family member is still a family member and falls within the scope of knowledge.

and so……

After Wanda came to her senses, she looked at Hawke, who had a half-smile on his face, and seemed to understand Hawke's plan.

Hawke looked at the expression on Wanda's face and knew that Wanda had guessed his plan.

but!
“Tiam is different.”

"what?"

Wanda paused slightly upon hearing this, then looked at Hawke.

and many more.

Isn't it for the reason she guessed?

but……

"This Thiam..."

"The name of the god inside the Earth."

Hawke smiled slightly: "I met Thiam a few years ago, and she's different from the other gods."

He does indeed have the power to completely prevent Thiam from ever being born.

But he didn't want to do that.

After all, from a certain perspective, Thiam was not his enemy, but rather his friend.

Adamantium.

Life energy.

These were all given to him by Thiam.

Although he obtained the adamantium himself, the life energy, if Thiam hadn't acquiesced, even the sleeping Thiam could have crushed him.

and so!
Yes.

Tiam, she is different from the other gods.

This is Hawke's official response.

No matter who asks, he will always give the same answer.

"With a certain continent."

"With a certain small island."

"It has nothing to do with any kind of seafood. It's not that I don't want to help, but Tiam is different from other gods."

"She understands me!"

Hawke looked at Wanda with a serious expression: "Therefore, Earth's future is Earth's own choice, and I will not interfere."

Wanda's lips twitched violently.

At first, she thought this Thiam was one of Hawke's lovers.

after all……

Is she different?
Does she understand me?
This answer makes it seem like Thiam is Hawke's lover.

result……

wrong.

From a certain perspective, this Thiam is indeed different from other gods, and he does understand Hawk quite well.

Wanda had never seen any other gods.

The celestial being whom Hawke used as a shield is truly different, and understands Hawke very well.

only……

Brother, you...

and many more.

wrong.

It's the younger brother.

Wanda suddenly remembered Hawk's current age, blinked, looked at Hawk's face which was full of the contradiction between Earth being the palm of his hand and Thiam being the back of his hand, and therefore he could only choose the two unrelated things, remained silent for a while, and then sighed.

"Does this Thiam know how well she understands you?"

"It's enough that I understand her and she understands me."

Hawke smiled broadly.

Well known.

He makes friends without considering the other person's status or affiliation; if he takes a liking to someone, that person becomes his friend.

and so……

Hawke said that Thiam understands him, but what does that have to do with Thiam?

Of course.

Hawke expressed his understanding of whatever choice Earth made this time, and if he couldn't understand it, he would reserve his opinion and refrain from commenting.

Just like he told Sharon, it's up to you to choose between life and death.

Wanda looked at Hawke's smiling face, remained silent for a moment, then turned around and looked at Sharon standing under the eaves.

Sharon just left.

but……

Sharon returned because of an urgent message, and then she overheard Hawke and Wanda's conversation.

Wanda greeted them.

Upon hearing this, Hawke snapped out of his daze, turned his head, looked at Sharon with a surprised expression, and said, "Hey, Sharon, didn't you leave? Why are you back? By the way, when did you get here? Didn't you hear anything?"

Wanda glanced at Hawke as she listened to his words.

She didn't believe Hawke didn't know when Sharon had arrived.

Even she knew that Sharon had returned when she curiously asked Hawke if he really wouldn't intervene.

Sharon listened to Hawke's words with a natural expression and shrugged: "What were you guys talking about just now?"

Wanda raised an eyebrow.

Hawke shrugged and said, "Let's just talk about Anya's multiple-choice questions. There was one that Anya couldn't answer, and I told her that even elementary school students could do it."

Wanda glanced sideways at Hawke.

Sharon said with a smile, "Anya just got back. Give her some time, and she will make the right choice."

Hawke nodded.

"hope so."

"By the way, has something else happened?"

"Ah."

Sharon nodded.

"Tony Stark and Doctor Strange are back."

"..."
