Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 460 A Conflict Without Suspense (Second Update!!)
What is there to say?

Those who play with fire will get burned!

same.

Although Sentinel Blaze gained the mutant ability to manipulate flames after being injected with Serum No. 8, this does not mean that he is immune to flames.

He's just a fake mutant. The most important point is that even a real mutant is still just a mortal body.

and so--

boom!
Just as Sentinel Flame fell into the raging flames of the oil depot below, before he could even react and use his mutant ability to disperse the surrounding flames, he was instantly engulfed by the raging fire.

All of a sudden.

The flames burning in the oil depot, illuminating half the base, surged even higher after engulfing the Sentinel's flames.

"Fire flames!"

The remaining sentries of the Sentinel Strategic Force, who watched helplessly as Hawke threw their team members into the flames, instinctively roared in anger, and then saw that Hawke, who had just been above the oil depot, had disappeared once again.

As the leader of this operation, Sentinel codenamed "Evolution" glanced at Hawke, who appeared in front of his girlfriend "Control," and his expression changed instantly. Almost the instant Hawke's seemingly ordinary punch came down, he stepped in front of Hawke's fist, blocking what he considered an unremarkable punch for his girlfriend "Control."

Then he flew away.

"boom!"

"evolution!"

The female Sentinel, 'Control', watched her boyfriend 'Evolution' fly backward like a rag doll after being punched by Hawke, and couldn't help but cry out.

next second.

The 'Hidden' that was standing nearby reacted immediately, grabbed 'Evolution's' right hand, and then went into a state of complete invisibility, pulling 'Evolution' along as they quickly ran away into the distance.

Hawke felt a blur before his eyes and a jolt of consciousness, and then he saw the two female sentries running wildly towards the outside of the base.

He instantly realized why the arrival of these sentries hadn't caught his attention.

To reduce the visibility of your presence.

He was familiar with this thing, and after obtaining the Reality Stone, he used it to lower his profile more than once.

but……

Ultimately, reducing one's presence and becoming invisible are not the same thing.

It's two different things.

Lower your profile; only by lowering your profile before anyone is observing you can you make people ignore you.

But I saw you guys, and you're still trying to hide your presence?

How should I put this behavior?

Deception?
Hawke's mind raced, and the instant his right foot stepped out, he appeared in front of the two women.

The fairly attractive 'Hidden' looked at Hawke, who had suddenly appeared in front of her, with a look of horror on her face.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to say something, Hawke silently opened his right hand and pressed it against her head.

"puff!"

"Bah!"

The 'controller' felt the liquid rushing towards it, subconsciously closed its eyes, then quickly opened them and saw the headless corpse beside it, its head sizzling with warm liquid as it fell to the side.

"Control" stared wide-eyed in disbelief as the right hand was thrust towards its head.

"stop!"

With a roar, 'Evolution,' which had just been blasted away by Hawke, appeared beside his girlfriend 'controlled' like a mad rabbit and punched Hawke in the chest.

"boom!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Hawke transformed into a crimson bolt of lightning, flying backwards. After piercing through a three-story building burning in the base, his back slammed into a burning tank. Only as the tank's body deflated did he stop his backward flight.

only……

Hawke pulled himself out of the tank he was stuck in from behind, stood up expressionlessly, and floated in the air again. His originally cold gaze now held a hint of curiosity as he looked at the male sentry 'Evolution' who was protecting the female sentry behind him.

Hawke was certain that before he had just sent the male sentry flying, the sentry had been a complete weakling.

But right now?
For some reason, he suddenly sensed a kind of restraint emanating from the male sentry.

"interesting."

Hawk chuckled softly, his gaze falling on the male sentry: "What is your mutant ability?"

While protecting his girlfriend behind him, "Evolution" glanced at the duration of the No. 8 serum on his wrist and stared at Hawke: "The ability to kill you, an anti-human element."

talking.

"Evolution" was activated. With a loud bang, the ground beneath his feet collapsed, transforming into a blue light that shot straight towards Hawke.

Hawke sneered at 'Evolution's' reply, and then laughed even harder as he watched 'Evolution' launch an attack on him.

next second.

He too transformed into a crimson light, instantly colliding with the blue light.

Amidst the interplay of red and blue light, their fists collided. Boom!
The violent shockwave instantly surged outwards in a ring shape, hurling corpses, burning armored vehicles, burning tanks, and scattered building debris into the air.

"Okay."

"Evolution can counter this damn mutant."

"call!"

Fifty meters above the ground, the Pentagon is constructed of 15-meter-thick reinforced concrete. Once closed, it can only be opened from the inside. Even bunker-buster missiles or nuclear bombs cannot shake it in the slightest. Inside the safe house, the generals who had survived the battle of Quantico but immediately arranged for a counterattack after Hawke left are gathered here.

The atmosphere here became very tense at first, after Hawke instantly killed the sentinels and soldiers who were heading to the Xavier's School.

The atmosphere plummeted to freezing point, especially after Hawke rushed back to Quantico and practically leveled the Quantico military base right in front of them.

But right now?
As everyone watched the large screen showing 'Evolution' battling Hawke in the ruins of Quantico, with 'Evolution' even gaining the upper hand, their emotions soared like they were on a rollercoaster.

"that's for sure."

"After being injected with the No. 8 drug, the mutant ability that 'evolution' gains is similar to becoming stronger when facing stronger opponents."

"Yes, as long as 'Evolution' is attacked, its mutant ability will immediately generate an attack pattern stronger than the opponent's attack pattern."

“Is there a limit?”

"When we tested it, it wasn't there."

"Moreover, as the squad leader of the Sentinel Strategic Force, 'Evolution' also has a specially formulated No. 8 serum."

"Yes, the effect of the No. 8 serum for other mutant Sentinels lasts for five minutes. After five minutes, the mutant ability will disappear, but 'Evolution' can last longer."

"how long?"

"fifteen minutes."

"enough."

General Thaddeus Ross, his eyes gleaming, stared at the large screen where 'Evolution' had completely suppressed Hawke. He rose from his chair and said in a deep voice, "Tell 'Evolution' that if necessary, kill this damned mutant alive..."

The words have not yet fallen.

General Ross, who was watching the battle scene on the big screen, suddenly fell silent, and his pupils contracted again in an instant.

Without him.

Just when he felt the wind had stopped, the rain had ceased, and he felt he was back to normal, preparing to order 'Evolution' to capture Hawk, who was suspected to be from another universe, the next second, he saw Hawk suddenly stop moving and then punch 'Evolution' away again.

And just when he thought that this time 'Evolution' would be blasted away by Hawke again, just like last time, and then get up again, Hawke did not give 'Evolution' that chance. In an instant, his figure appeared behind 'Evolution' again and threw another punch at 'Evolution' as it flew backward.

next second.

Hawke reappeared before "Evolution".

One punch!
Two punches!

Three punches!

In an instant, the 'Evolution', which had lost its balance and initiative and whose power was constantly increasing, bounced back and forth in the air above Quantico like a badminton shuttlecock.

If 'evolution' is badminton, then Hawke has now transformed into a badminton racket.

As Hawke relentlessly rained down punches on Evolution, giving it no chance to breathe, Evolution's complexion gradually changed from rosy to pale, and then to black.

The power that kept rising within him, yet could not be released, was accumulating within him.

A steady stream.

This is like 'evolution' being a kettle, and power flowing into it like liquid.

But this kettle may have a large capacity.

But even the largest size has its limits.

and so--

As Hawke relentlessly unleashed his relentless, increasingly powerful attacks, the 'evolution' within Hawke's body, which had been accumulating but could not be released, finally reached the threshold he could withstand.

If boiling water accumulates to its full capacity but cannot release itself, what will be the final result?
The answer is an explosion.

"boom!"

After Evolution's face turned completely black, it exploded instantly as Hawke unleashed another punch, sending it flying once more.

boom!
The power bursting forth from the body, accompanied by a cloud of blood mist, swept outwards in all directions once more.

On the ground, the "controller" who watched this scene unfold had eyes that were filled with rage!
"No!"

"call out!"

Amidst the falling blood mist, Hawke appeared expressionlessly before the 'Control' whose eyes were bloodshot. He then grabbed the 'Control' by the neck with his right hand and lifted him off the ground.

"You feel so sorry for him?"

"fine."

"I'll take you to be with him."

"puff!"

As Hawke spoke, he squeezed the neck of "Control" with his right hand, crushing it to pieces. Then his gaze fell on the camera hidden behind the Sentinel lettering on "Control's" chest, as if he could see the generals hiding behind the cameras through it.

"Thadeus Ross, I gave you a chance to live, but unfortunately you didn't cherish it. So, don't worry, I'll be back for you soon!"

"..."
