Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Hawke heard the familiar voice that he hadn't heard in a long time behind him, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Coincidentally, I was thinking about the same thing."

"Oh, what?"

Hawke turned around and looked at the Ancient One who appeared behind him, and said with a bright smile, "I was also wondering if my God of Time would be willing to come out and see me after I found an assistant for him."

"If you didn't expect the timeline to need maintenance."

Ancient One spoke with a serious expression, then changed the subject: "After all, I'm busy weaving and maintaining timelines all by myself, and you didn't force me to come."

Hawke shrugged.

"Because you are my friend, and for friends, I only invite, never summon."

"I know."

Ancient One smiled as she spoke, then looked at Wanda beside her, her expression natural yet familiar.

"The Goddess".

"Mage."

“I told you, you have a deep understanding of magic.”

"Yes."

Wanda recalled the scene in Hawk's timeline when she accompanied Hawk to Kamar-Taj to borrow the Time Stone to comprehend time, and the Ancient One invited her to learn Kamar-Taj magic. She smiled and said, "Thank you for allowing me to borrow the Kamar-Taj library."

Her magic is divided into three stages.

The first stage involved fully awakening his crimson chaos magic with the help of Hydra.

But at that time, she had the strength, but didn't know how to use it effectively.

The time when she truly learned how to unleash her power was when Hawke brought in the witch Agatha, and under Agatha's tutelage, she learned how to control her crimson chaos power.

But what truly elevated her magic was the moment she stepped out of Hawke's sacred timeline.

Before entering Hawke's sacred timeline, she was simply Wanda.

But after stepping out of Hawke's sacred timeline, she is both Wanda and Gwen, who belongs exclusively to Hawke.

It's Gwen, the one who consulted the endless magic library of Kamar-Taj when she was in Kamar-Taj.

This is why, based on Hawke's divine timeline, Wanda before the timeline was one person, while after the timeline, Wanda's control over magic was as if she were a completely different person.

After all, Agatha Christie's teaching methods were effective, but too wild, somewhat similar to the federal happy education system.

However, Kamar-Taj, as the cradle for systematically training mages, possesses a comprehensive theoretical knowledge of magic.

Similar to federal elite private education.

This leads to yet another conclusion.

Happy education is not advisable.

The Ancient One smiled slightly upon hearing Wanda's gratitude, then looked at her and jokingly said, "Should I call you Queen Wanda or Queen Gwen?"

Wanda smiled and said, "Whether it's Wanda or Gwen, they are the same person, the Queen of Phoenix."

Seeing this, Hawke looked at the Ancient One: "So, my God of Time knew about this a long time ago?"

Wanda is Wanda, but she is also Gwen, who belongs exclusively to him on his sacred timeline.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi snapped out of her reverie and looked at Hawke.

"The past cannot be changed, but the future..."

"The future is uncertain."

Hawke, upon hearing the Ancient One's words, immediately picked up the conversation and looked at the Ancient One with a hint of reproach: "But you should have given me some hints."

Gu Yi smiled.

"I gave you a hint."

"what?"

"This is your very own Ms. Gwen Stacy."

"..."

As Hawke listened to the Ancient One's words, he recalled the first time he and Gwen went to Kamar-Taj. When he introduced Gwen, the Ancient One had indeed said this.

However, at that time, he didn't think much about what the Ancient One said, and simply replied, "Yes, this is my Gwen."

But right now?
Hawke recalled the scene from that time, and then looked at the Ancient One in front of him again.

The Ancient One's expression remained unchanged, with a gentle smile and calm eyes as she looked at Hawke.

"See, I warned you."

"Yes, you reminded me."

Hawke shook his head and chuckled silently.

The Ancient One did remind him, but he didn't pay attention.

one more time.

In his universe, Spider-Man is the Bully Maguire version, and while there may be Gwen Stacy in the Bully Maguire version, she is definitely not the Gwen Stacy who belongs to him.

and so--

Admit your mistakes and stand at attention when you are beaten.

This is one of Hawke's many strengths.

Hawke thought this to himself, and then looked at Wanda beside him again.

Wanda rolled her eyes at Hawke when she saw his gaze, then complained to the Ancient One, "Ignore him. He just thinks that since Gwen is also me, I'll hold a grudge against him for his past indifference towards me and be on guard against me settling scores with him later."

Hawke raised an eyebrow: "I didn't." Wanda smiled and looked at Hawke without saying a word.

Hawke's gaze shifted under Wanda's watchful eyes. He coughed, as if he had seen something, and pointed to a spot with feigned surprise: "Where there is destruction, there is rebirth. After the universe's rebirth, this will be my Phoenix Universe parallel world."

Well known.

The phoenix never dies, it just enters nirvana.

The same applies to the universe.

When the destruction of this universe came to an end, it did not enter into complete annihilation as is the case after the destruction of a typical universe. Instead, at the very moment when everything was calm and about to enter annihilation, another pure golden-red flame was born.

Then came the second, the third...

In the blink of an eye, endlessly, just as it had destroyed this universe before, golden-red flames once again swept across the entire cosmos.

The flames spread, crossing galaxy clusters, superclusters, the Great Wall of the Universe, and massive voids.

Wherever the Phoenix Fire went, the cosmic space that had been in a state of annihilation began to become soft and malleable.

Galaxyes that were once millions of light-years apart can now touch each other, their starlight intertwining in complex spectral patterns in a fiery display.

next second.

The Phoenix Flame began to change.

Blue and purple veins emerged from Hawke's golden flame, symbolizing the birth of the first life in the universe, and from the red flame, symbolizing the birth of Wanda's most unlikely life.

Then came green, silver, and colors never before seen in human language.

Enormous vortexes, exquisite lattices, and infinitely extending fractal patterns began to form the phantom of a phoenix, symbolizing that this universe was reborn under Hawke's will.

at the same time.

Within the golden-red flames, a point of darkness emerged—not an empty darkness, but a darkness brimming with potential.

Although it is often said that there is no death without life.

In other words...

Isn't that true? There is no life without death.

Within the black flames, a woman with a supermodel figure was also outlined. The woman stepped out of the darkness, initially seeming somewhat confused, but then she saw Hawke not far away, her eyes lit up, and she instantly appeared in front of Hawke.

"Hawk!"

"Anna."

Yes.

It was Anna.

Anna was overjoyed to see Hawke appear, then looked at the universe being reborn under the Phoenix Flame. After receiving the information, she looked at Hawke with some surprise: "Is this a parallel universe?"

Hawke smiled and said, "Yes."

Since there is death before there is rebirth, it is only natural that Anna, as his goddess of death, would also come here.

After all, his goddess of death, Anna, is responsible for all death in all his universes.

For Hawke, Anna's status is equivalent to the death of Marvel.

After her initial surprise, Anna looked at Hawke and said, "I'll go get to work."

Hawke hummed.

After Anna left, she once again plunged into the dark flames that symbolized death.

The black flames instantly began to expand and began to devour the surrounding golden-red flames, but this was not a destructive devouring; rather, it absorbed the flames like a sponge absorbing water.

With the addition of the Dark Flame, the flames were no longer a freely flowing sea of ​​energy, but began to condense into scattered points of light, even breathing like the rhythm of life.

After Anna left, Wanda appeared beside Hawke, glancing at Hawke as Anna, who was faintly visible in the dark fire, appeared.

"You've assigned Mephisto yet another boss."

"no way."

Hawke glanced at Wanda, who was speaking, and smirked: "I don't trust the Mexicans."

Wanda asked curiously, "Didn't you say when you came back that Mephisto seemed to have reformed this time?"

Hawke chuckled: "Remember, you can't trust a demon's words, not even the punctuation marks, especially Mephisto. You can't believe a word he says, even if it's the truth."

Especially after hearing Mephisto say that this place would be his most important place from now on, he became even more determined to find Mephisto another boss.

Evil people should be governed by other evil people.

one more time.

His goddess of death, Anna, is no naive girl; she is Anna, carefully cultivated by Hydra leader Alexander Pierce and even groomed as his successor.

and so!
With Anna watching over Mephisto, he could finally rest assured that Mephisto wouldn't cause any more trouble.

After all, he really liked Mephisto.

Because Mephisto was the first person to offer him a drink... a demon.

So if possible, Hawke really doesn't want to lose his first drinking buddy.

Therefore, finding a boss for Mephisto was not only for Hawke's own peace of mind, but also for Mephisto's own benefit.

As for what Mephisto wants, he will give it to him.

Let's say that.

All he needed to do was put a tight rein on Mephisto, and as long as Mephisto didn't touch that rein, he would be safe.

The right to obey orders but not pronouncements.

He will give it to me!
