Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 503 Hawke vs. the Sentinel Robots (Second Update!!)
boom!
The sentry robot moved.

In an instant, its face, which originally had only two pupils, suddenly gained six fan-shaped eyepieces arranged on its head, staring intently at Hawke, flashing rapidly at different frequencies.

Ding!
Suspected mutant.

grade……

Danger!

Extremely dangerous!

Search the database for solutions.

Survival of the fittest kicks in!
Let's begin the extermination operation!
After a series of data streams flashed by, the Sentinel robot raised its left foot. The moment the metal foot, large enough to cover a small car, was raised and then lowered, the already cracked ground groaned!
Hawke watched this scene with a smirk.

finally come!

Then-

come on!

Bang!
Hawke watched as the Sentinel robot finally came to life, took a deep breath, and with a sonic boom cloud appearing in his place, Hawke transformed into a streak of light, leaving afterimages as he rushed towards the Sentinel robot under the searchlights of the Quantico military base.

next second.

A tremendous roar erupted, and at the very moment the roar appeared, a huge figure streaked across the sky and then plummeted toward Quantico's hangar in the distance.

The moment the Sentinel robot made intimate contact with the hangar roof, the roof collapsed instantly, followed by an explosion.

The first course, then the second, and then the third.

The hangar was instantly engulfed in flames!

Hawk hovered steadily in the air, his muscular physique accentuated by Wanda's custom-made crimson suit.

Beneath the crimson battle suit were sharply defined muscles.

As the flames soared into the sky, they illuminated Hawk, who was hovering in mid-air, making him appear like a god among men.

Those present were shocked.

Whether human or mutant.

Putting aside how powerful the little guy described his Sentinel robot before he died, just considering the imposing presence of his height, it should have been Hawk, who was just knocked away, who was a lightweight, not a heavyweight Sentinel.

But the result was the opposite.

The thing that flew backwards was actually the little guy's proudest Sentinel robot.

This……

"That's it?"

The daughter, Qin, was also somewhat surprised, and then subconsciously looked at Wanda beside her: "So, this is what they call a Sentinel robot?"

She truly hadn't expected her father to lose.

Because in Jean's heart, her father Hawke is the most amazing, without a doubt.

But she never imagined the scene would turn out like this. At least in her imagination, even if the Sentinel robot couldn't beat her father, it should at least be able to put up a fight with him.

After all, this thing is what keeps the universe in a constant cycle of resets.

But the result was that he couldn't even withstand a single blow from his own father?

So what exactly is it about this thing that makes mutants keep traveling back in time, trying again and again in vain to rewrite the past?

The daughter, Qin, didn't understand.

Wanda understands.

She chuckled as she listened to her daughter Qin's words, but instead of looking at her daughter, she kept her gaze fixed on the direction of the continuously exploding hangar, watching the Sentinel robot that stood up again in the flames, its dark body seemingly beginning to shimmer with an unusual light: "Don't underestimate this thing. You know, your father's initial plan was for this thing to win once. If it were really that weak, your father wouldn't have thought of it this way."

Upon hearing this, the daughter, Qin, nodded subconsciously.

suddenly!

Qin realized what was happening and, with a whoosh, looked at Wanda again.

"what?"

"Shh!"

Wanda made a shushing gesture: "Keep watching. Although your dad plays a warrior style, which is different from us, this level of combat experience is hard to come by. Watch carefully how your dad deals with this thing. And if you want, there are three more you can try to deal with."

Qin's heart skipped a beat: "That's right, there are three more. Those three Sentinel robots are the key to destroying this world."

Wanda shrugged, said nothing, and stared intently at Hawke, who was fighting the Sentinel robot with his bare hands.

The shockwave was compressed into a milky-white cone behind Hawke, and when Hawke reappeared, he was already in front of the Sentinel robot.

To be precise, it was the side of the sentry's left knee joint.

The moment Hawk's fist collided with the adamantium that formed the Sentinel robot, a visible shockwave spread out from the point of contact.

The sentry's massive body suddenly tilted to the side and fell to the left.

next second.

Hawke reappeared beside the Sentinel's massive head, his right leg sweeping out and compressing the air once more before delivering a whip kick to the Sentinel robot's face.

The Sentinel robot, which had instinctively fallen to its left, was instantly thrown into the air by Hawke. After flying ten meters through the air, it crashed heavily onto the concrete ground of the base once again.

The concrete floor of the base collapsed and caved in instantly!
"hiss!"

"Is Adamantium really that hard?" Daughter Qin gasped in shock at the Sentinel robot's hardness as she watched the scene. "I remember Dad's punch could split the ocean."

Wanda explained from the side: "Your father is only fighting with his physical strength right now. If your father went all out, let alone one Sentinel, even if there were 100,000 Sentinels, your father would turn them into a pile of melted scrap metal with one punch."

Qin blinked.

"Then why doesn't Dad go all out?"

Didn't your father tell you that?

Wanda withdrew her gaze, glanced at her daughter, and said with a smile, "He's the kind of person who likes to have fun when things are going well."

Qin was stunned.

"So you're saying you won't be reckless when things are going against you?"

"Do not."

Wanda shook her head and looked at Qin: "Your father's life, except for the time when your aunt went to hell for a short visit, was mostly in a favorable situation."

This is the truth.

The reason is also very simple.

It wasn't because Hawk sacrificed his sister to ensure he wouldn't face adversity later on, but because Hawk never fights a battle unprepared.

As the ancients said, "An army marches on its stomach."

For the past two years, before Hawke's little universe descended into this universe, Hawke had been staying at 521A Palm Street quietly developing, except when absolutely necessary.

Qin nodded as if she understood, looking at the Sentinel robot that had withstood Hawk's attack again but seemed unharmed: "Can't Dad destroy this thing with his physical strength alone?"

Wanda shook her head.

"Adamantium is the metal that the Celestials used to forge their bodies; it's the most advanced metal in the entire universe."

"So how is Dad going to beat this thing?"

As Qin watched the Sentinel robot being repeatedly knocked away by her father, but with each knockback lasting longer than the last, she noticed something amiss: "This thing seems to be evolving?"

Wanda hummed in agreement.

"It is simulating a variant ability."

"What mutant ability could possibly rival my father's?"

"Similar to adaptation—the ability to mutate in evolution."

Wanda's gaze fell on the Sentinel robot. The crimson chaotic energy captured the mutant energy simulated by the Sentinel robot, and then, as if she had thought of something, she looked at her daughter Jean: "By the way, did you go to school here? Do you know anything about biology?"

Jean rolled her eyes as she saw Wanda looking at her with a loving gaze.

"Mom, guess why Professor X is called a professor? And if I remember correctly, Mom, you and Uncle are the ones who didn't go to school, right?"

"Excuse me, young lady, I have a doctoral degree."

"……when?"

"You will know later."

Wanda smiled slightly, not answering the question, but saying, "This mutant ability is similar to Darwin's theory of evolution, where organisms adapt to their environment and then evolve in a targeted manner."

Simply put, survival of the fittest.

As long as Hawke cannot destroy the Sentinel in one blow, the Sentinel can use this mutant ability to continuously adapt to Hawke's power and then evolve within Hawke's power.

To be frank...

Hawke was indeed unable to destroy the Sentinel robot made of adamantium with a single blow using only his physical strength.

The daughter, Qin, was stunned.

"Wouldn't Dad be in great danger if the Sentinel robots continued to evolve..."

"Mom, look!"

Just as Jean was about to say something, her eyes suddenly widened as she looked at the Sentinel robot that, instead of being sent flying by Hawke's attack, had blocked Hawke's fist with its metal hand in the blink of an eye, and then punched Hawke with its other hand.

At this moment, the Sentinel robot finally evolved to adapt to Hawk's power and even surpass it by mimicking the mutant ability of survival of the fittest.

Hawke was instantly blasted away.

boom!
The earth groaned once more, and as Hawke fell, a massive dust cloud was instantly created as the ground caved in.

The six pupils simulated by the Sentinel robot looked at the enveloping dust, flashing wildly.

Without him.

At this moment, it did not feel any relief from eliminating Hawk; instead, it sensed an even greater and more terrifying aura brewing within the dust surrounding Hawk.

At that moment, the daughter Qin's heart leaped into her throat as her father Hawke was sent flying.

"mom!"

"don’t worry."

Wanda's gaze also pierced through the dust, looking at Hawke, who was slowly rising from the crater, his shirt ripped apart by a Sentinel robot's punch. She held her daughter Jean's small hand, which she nervously offered: "Watch closely, your father has always been considered to have the strongest attack!"

Daughter Qin: "..."
