Chapter 437 The Celestials' Doomed Race (First Update!)

"video?"

"Yes."

Natasha nodded and followed Wanda into the house. After seeing Hawke emerge from behind the bar, she briefly described the origin of the video.

Hawke raised an eyebrow: "A video signal intercepted from a parallel universe where Captain America from a previous universe didn't exist, colliding with Captain America here in the flow of time?"

Wanda looked at Natasha curiously: "In that parallel universe, you died, Tony died, and Captain America went back in time and chose to spend the rest of his life with Peggy Kate?"

Good guy.

What a tragic universe this is.

Is it so miserable?
but……

Just as Wanda sighed inwardly, she suddenly realized that if Hawke hadn't come, it seemed that the final outcome might really have been just as Natasha had described.

Natasha met Wanda's gaze and nodded, then looked at the two of them: "A total of four video clips were captured. The first three are of me, Tony, and Captain America, but the last one is about..."

Natasha paused here, took out her phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Wanda before continuing.

"It's about the zither."

"what?"

"Qin?"

Upon hearing this, Wanda quickly lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on Natasha's phone in her hand. Watching the video clip playing on the phone, her body trembled, her pupils contracted, and her eyes turned panicked. She looked up at Hawk, who had already come out from behind the bar, and handed him the phone.

"Hawk, look."

"..."

Hawke didn't say anything, but reached out and took the phone from Wanda, then looked down at the screen.

into the eye.

A six-tube deity suddenly appeared in the sky above the earth. Its enormous body almost covered the entire sky and dispersed the clouds. Then, Qin, who was six years old and located at No. 123 Xijing Town, seemed to be bound by something and involuntarily rose into the air. Then, at the moment the six-tube deity turned and left, Qin also disappeared.

Video playback ends.

Hawke clicked the replay button again.

Wanda looked at Hawke with a worried expression.

Natasha, who was standing to the side, did not say anything.

She didn't actually know Qin.

but……

She recognized the others who had tried to stop Jean from being taken away, and Bruce Banner had been to Hawke's universe and Westworld. Therefore, when this scene was shown, the group that had just returned the Infinity Stones knew that this was a big deal.

This is not.

Natasha immediately brought the video to Hawke and Wanda.

soon.

The video finished playing again.

Hawke looked away from his phone screen, handed it back to Natasha, and calmly said thank you.

Natasha instinctively took the phone.

Wanda anxiously asked, "This can't be true, right?"

Hawke looked at Wanda and shook his head.

He's inclined to believe it's true.

the first.

The Celestials have a history of this, although Hawke doesn't understand whether the Celestials have any brains at all.

Are they just targeting him and bullying him relentlessly?
Aren't they afraid of being wiped out from the multiverse by themselves?

Oh.

They've really offended me. After separating me from Gwen, it's destined that the Celestials will be completely wiped out from the multiverse.
Ok.

That's fine.

second.

This is the only reason that can explain why Captain America experienced an impossible time-space collision during his time travel, thus unexpectedly intercepting information from parallel universes and timelines.

Wanda's heart sank as she looked at Hawke's expression, then she noticed the 'Quantum Bracelet' on the bar: "No, I have to go back."

As she spoke, Wanda walked toward the bar, picked up the 'Quantum Bracelet' that was on it, and put it on her wrist.

Hawke snapped out of his daze and turned to look.

"Going back now won't make a difference."

"what?"

Wanda, who was about to press the button, looked at Hawke upon hearing this.

Hawke remained calm.

"If I'm not mistaken, he kidnapped Qin to negotiate with me."

"Negotiate terms?"

"Yes."

Perhaps at the beginning, the god Grimus, who had returned from his own universe, told the other members of the Celestials about his existence, but they did not believe him.

After all, it's just like how death describes Hawke's main universe.

Too low a level!

and so……

The other members of the Celestials thought that a life form from a lower universe, no matter how powerful, couldn't possibly be. They probably only managed to inflict such severe injuries on their people because of the Infinity Stones from that universe.

Hawke proved with his strength that he could kill them as easily as slaughtering dogs.

So they believed it, that Hawke had the power to slaughter them, and similarly, that Hawke also had the power to slaughter all those who possessed their divine seeds.

So they came up with a solution.

Instead of bringing back Gwen, whom Hawk wanted, to cut his losses, he decided to go to Hawk's universe, kidnap Hawk's daughter Jean, and use her to negotiate with Hawk.

This behavior...

It's very abstract.

But considering that the Celestials were created by some abstract god, this seems to make sense.

"Do not worry."

"Ok?"

“Jin will be alright.” Hawke thought to himself, then looked at Wanda’s anxious face and said, “Just like Gwen, all they can do is separate Jin from us temporarily. They can’t, and don’t have the ability to, kill Jin.”

Just like how they didn't dare kill Gwen, but instead wanted to make sure Gwen was still alive and well.

This is also the fundamental reason why Hawke felt that the Celestials were abstract.

So what if we take hostages?
Putting aside the fact that the word "compromise" has never existed in Hawke's dictionary, would they dare to kill Gwen and Qin after capturing them?
They dare not.

and so……

What is the point of their kidnapping?

Hawke couldn't understand.

But he doesn't need to understand it.

He had originally planned to give the Celestials here a month, just like in the main universe.

Now that the Celestials here have made their choice.

Now it's his turn.

Just as Hawke was thinking this, he looked up and his gaze pierced through the atmosphere, seeing the six-tube deity whose aura had suddenly appeared in the solar system.

"coming!"

"Qin!"

Wanda was startled by Hawke's actions, then said, "I'll go too."

Hawke raised his eyebrows.

Just as he was about to speak, Wanda stared intently at him.

"I'll go as well."

"Row!"

Upon hearing this, Hawke said nothing more, stepped forward, and put his arm around Wanda's waist.

next second.

The two vanished from their spot in an instant.

Natasha, standing to the side, looked at the empty living room, opened her mouth, then looked away, turned around, and left the house behind her, closing the door behind her as she went out.

Anya walked out of her room on the second floor after hearing the door close. She stared at the empty living room and froze in place.

Wait, where are they?
boom!
After Hawke embraced Wanda and burst out of the atmosphere in a streak of light, accompanied by another explosion of his cosmos, he instantly donned the Phoenix Gold Cloth. With a flap of his phoenix wings, he once again entered a state of faster-than-light travel and appeared in orbit above Jupiter.

not far away.

A six-tube deity, seemingly covered in red rust, stood quietly in the universe.

Bang!
After Hawke and Wanda escaped from faster-than-light travel.

Wanda immediately spotted Chin, the daughter of the six-tube god, hovering in front of the head of the god.

"Qin!"

"Mommy, Daddy!"

When her daughter Jean saw Hawke and Wanda, she instinctively spoke up.

Hawke's expression remained blank beneath his mask, and his double pupils stared at the Six-Tube God as if he were looking at a dead man.

"your name."

"The calculator—"

The voice of the six-tube deity, covered in red rust, sounded like a synthesized electronic voice: "Eribers, I am responsible for calculating the direction of spacetime in each universe to prevent the emergence of variables."

Huo listened to the duties announced by the god Eribes and smiled: "Congratulations, Eribes. The gods will be wiped out because of what you and Gris have done. Are you ready to face my wrath?"

If, previously, the Celestials had simply returned Gwen to him, he might have been willing to sit down and negotiate.

So now, the option of peace talks is completely gone.

There is only one path facing the Celestials.

Extinction!

As Hawke's voice, though smiling, was devoid of any emotional fluctuation, Eribers' six-tube sword gleamed.

"The Celestials protect the order of the multiverse."

"is it?"

Hawke changed the subject, somewhat curiously: "So, have you calculated what will happen to your Celestial Group after you kidnapped your daughter?"

"of course."

"Then?"

"You won't compromise."

The six-tube sword of the god Erebus spun like a computer screen being washed by countless data: "In the infinite possibilities of my calculations, there is not a single opportunity for you to compromise."

Hawke laughed: "Since you know I won't compromise, why did you still do it?"

The calculator, Erebus, said mechanically and rigidly: "Because it's the only option."

Hawke raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on the calculator Erebus, his thoughts racing at that moment.

But he soon gave up.

one more time.

No need.

In his view, the calculator Erebus had simply chosen one dead end from among countless others.

It's still a dead end.

Does it make a difference?
No difference.

At least that's how Hawke sees it.

But the calculator Erebus seems to have a different opinion.

Hawke thought for a moment and looked directly at the Calculator Erebus.
