Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 402 The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend (Second Update!!)
Yes.

Iron Man and Doctor Strange are back.

And it was completely intact, with all its whiskers and tail intact, and even the Dutch Spider-Man came back with it.

The only one who didn't return was Bruce Banner.

However, considering that this Bruce Banner is not the Bruce Banner from their universe, it's not necessarily bad news in a way.

In the offices of the New York SHIELD headquarters.

Hawke leaned back on the sofa, resting his chin on his hand, looking at the image of Titan in the Milky Way projected by Doctor Strange. He frowned, then looked at Doctor Strange.

"What do you mean by Thanos inviting me over for a chat?"

"do not know."

Doctor Strange wiped away the projection, looked at Hawke, and said with a strange expression, "That's what he told us."

To be honest, he still doesn't understand what happened.

"After I was kidnapped by Ebony Maw, before the spaceship even left the solar system, Thanos used the Space Stone to open a portal and get on the spaceship."

"I originally thought we were in grave danger this time."

"result!"

Thanos had Ebony Maw release us.

"When we get back, we'll give you a message that he's invited you to Titan for a meeting."

Doctor Strange recounted what happened after they were taken to the spaceship by Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf, then seemed to remember something, looking down at the Time Stone around his neck: "Thanos said he no longer needs the Time Stone."

We don't need the Time Stone anymore?

Hawke remained silent upon hearing this.

He was a little confused.

No.

Isn't this plot development a bit off? What do you mean you don't need the Time Stone anymore? If you don't need the Time Stone, how can you snap your fingers and become the head of your universe's family planning office?

and many more!

What was the fundamental reason Thanos wiped out half of all life in the universe?
To prevent the emergence of new gods.

What did he do?
"hiss!"

Do you guess what happened?

Tony looked at Hawke, who suddenly gasped, and asked him a question.

"That's it."

“If the Celestials do not bring my Gwen back to me in a month, I will slaughter every planet known to have a Celestial Seed.”

Hawke snapped out of his daze, glancing at Tony, as well as Doctor Strange, Sharon, and Spider-Man, who were also looking at him: "Perhaps, this is why Thanos suddenly stopped."

Doctor Strange's expression changed upon hearing this.

Tony was slightly taken aback.

"What is the Celestials? And Gwen, was it the Celestials who kidnapped Gwen?"

"No."

"Then this is related to Thanos..."

"Tony!"

Sharon, standing to the side, spoke up. Looking at Tony, who looked confused, Doctor Strange, who was frowning, and Spider-Man, who looked bewildered, she used concise language to explain the relationship between Thanos and the Celestials, Hawk and the Celestials, and Gwen and the Celestials.

Tony was somewhat shocked: "So Thanos wanted to wipe out half of the life on the planet in order to prevent the birth of a new Celestial?"

So, from a certain perspective, Thanos isn't a bad guy, but a good guy?

After all, Thanos only had half his life force.

The birth of a new god can take away the life of an entire planet.

Lose half.

All lost.

Anyone who isn't an idiot would make the right choice on this multiple-choice question.

"So, Earth..."

"Yes."

Sharon nodded, glancing at Hawke out of the corner of her eye: "I've already reported this to headquarters, and I believe the Security Council will make the right choice."

Upon hearing this, Tony also looked at Hawke.

"Can't we just find a way to get rid of that new god that's parasitizing Earth?"

"You can try."

Hawke looked at Tony: "There's a passage to the Earth's core on Skull Island. Through the core, you can see a small part of Thiam's body."

Tony listened to Hawke's words and glanced at Hawke.

Seeing this, Hawke knew what Tony wanted to say, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"I will not help you make choices, nor will I stop you from making choices."

“Like I told Sharon.”

"To be or not to be, the choice is yours."

"Even if the Earth explodes, I'll still have somewhere to go."

Hawke shrugged casually, then looked at Sharon: "Don't worry, I won't take care of the Earth, but my friends will."

Sharon smiled back at Hawke's smiling face, then changed the subject: "How Earth chooses is not up to me. What I'm more concerned about is whether this was Thanos's original plan or a spur-of-the-moment decision."

Hawke smiled and said, "It was a spur-of-the-moment idea."

When Thanos went to Eitri, the dwarf king, to forge the Infinity Gauntlet, Eitri was still inside the World Tree and hadn't yet clashed with the Celestials.

Moreover, Thanos at that time was clearly aiming for the Infinity Stones.

But Hawke emerged from the World Tree and then clashed with the Celestials.

Thanos probably changed his mind around that time.

bad news.

Hawke possesses two Infinity Stones, which he can never obtain, thus thwarting his plan to use the Infinity Stones to wipe out half of all life in the universe at once.

good news.

Hawke is at odds with the Celestials.

Better news.

His goal in eliminating half of all life was to prevent the birth of a new Celestial, while Hawke's intention was to exterminate the Celestial race. Therefore…

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

"and many more!"

Upon hearing this, Sharon seemed to realize something and quickly interrupted, "Even if the enemy of my enemy is my friend, didn't you still give the Celestials a month? What if the Celestials bring Gwen back after a month? You can't say that Thanos can see things a month in advance, can you?"

As Sharon spoke, she subconsciously glanced at the Eye of Agamotto on Doctor Strange's neck.

"Thanos used the Time Stone?"

"No."

Doctor Strange shook his head.

Hawke, leaning back on the sofa, looked at Sharon, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

Sharon's expression froze.

"Won't the Celestials bring Gwen back?"

"Do not."

Hawke shook his head: "Even they can't bring Gwen back."

Who imprisoned Gwen?

It's time.

What level is the Celestial Group, and what level is its timeframe?

Therefore, even the Celestials have no chance of finding Gwent, who was hidden by time, in the endless multiverse and bringing her back.

Sharon was stunned when she heard Hawke's calm words.

"Then you still..."

"Someone has to pay the price for Gwen's disappearance."

"Time is something I can't do anything about for now."

"I'd like to settle accounts with him because of the eternity of time, but if he doesn't want to show up, I won't be able to find him."

“But I can get him to show up in front of me on his own initiative.”

"God Group."

"I'm very angry right now, extremely angry."

Hawke's expression remained unchanged, and his voice was very calm: "The Celestials were created by Eternity of Time to maintain the order of time for him. I don't believe that after I slaughter all the Celestial Seeds and the Celestials, Eternity of Time will still hide and dare not come out to see me."

Yes.

His purpose was to make time eternal.

The Celestial Group was merely a means for him to find the eternity of time.

The Celestials were unable to retrieve Gwen.

But the eternity of time is possible.

In fact, he knew where the eternity of time lay, and how he could get to that so-called eternal temple.

but……

Time has imprisoned his wife, yet he still wants to go to the Temple of Eternity to find eternity?
Is it cheap?

If someone slaps you, would you really turn your other face up to them?
Repaying kindness with kindness?
Do not!
Repay evil with justice!
Since time had imprisoned his wife, he would slaughter the eternal gods of time, so that the eternal gods of time would come to him of their own accord.

Whether or not you can win is another matter.

Whether or not one has the courage to throw a punch is another matter entirely.

So what if we can't win?
Won't he run away?
Anyway, I've already got the Wutong World Tree.

If I can't win the fight, I can just hide inside the Wutong World Tree, cultivate for a few years, and come out when I can win.

A gentleman's revenge is never too late.

The God-King's revenge is never too late, even after a thousand years!
In a word.

Hawke did steal the World Tree, but he did so through his own abilities. However, he shouldn't have harmed his wife and children. So, it was Hawke who broke the rules first. Since that's the case, then don't blame him for personally taking matters into his own hands and bullying the weak.

His fate will not be as weak and merciful as Thanos'.

Yes.

In Hawke's view, Thanos's actions were purely thankless and his personality was that of a saint and indecisive.

In a word.

What do you care about other people's lives or deaths!

She doesn't have the face of a saint, but she insists on doing the work of a saint.

and also!

Either don't do it at all, or do it thoroughly. If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring. Thanos didn't understand such a simple principle.

Let's say that.

If Hawke were Thanos, Nebula? Gamora? They would have been wiped out along with their races long ago.

Adoption?

And you even adopted a little girl who watched helplessly as you killed her parents?
"Damn it" doesn't even begin to describe Thanos's behavior.

He can only be described as stupid.

but……

Hawke looked at Doctor Strange: "Show me the coordinates of Titan again."

Doctor Strange nodded, opened his right hand, and projected the coordinates of Titan once again.

Seeing this, Tony looked at Hawke.

"Aren't you planning to meet Thanos?"

"of course."

Hawke chuckled, stood up from the sofa, and put his hands in his pockets: "Thanos was right, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Speaking of it.

Hock paused, then looked at Tony: "Besides, I never consider all sides when making friends, you've known that for a long time. So, I'm going to find Thanos. As for you, think about how to deal with the new Celestials inside Earth. And again, don't expect me to cover for you if you make the wrong choice."

Say it.

The moment Hawke looked up, his figure vanished from New York's Aegis, reappearing a second later outside the atmosphere. He then transformed into a golden light and sped towards Titan at faster-than-light speed.
