Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 560 The Empress vs. the Imposter (First Update!)

Hawke now fully understands the Celestials' plans.

In a word.

The dubious Black Hawk they concocted is of no value whatsoever in the context of Hawk itself.

But what about the Scarlet Witch they created through Wanda's timeline?

There are some explanations for this.

Natasha's excited expression froze upon hearing Hawke's words. She looked at Hawke and said, "You're not worried about Black Hawke, but you are worried about Scarlet Witch?"

Hawke nodded very honestly.

"Yes."

"You can't beat her?"

"Yes."

"..."

Natasha fell silent for a while before recovering, then looked at Hawke's honest face and managed to utter a sentence.

"I don't understand."

"Because Wanda is my nemesis."

It has to be said that, from another perspective, the Celestials Group's success was somewhat accidental.

The Black Hawk they specially created was not a threat to Hawk, but the Scarlet Witch they created in order to produce the Black Hawk made Hawk somewhat wary.

It's actually easy to explain.

His timeline was completely condensed and closed thanks to Wanda, making it impossible for anyone to cause trouble through his timeline again.

But it was precisely because of Wanda that his timeline shrank, so if anyone else were to enter his timeline, that person would only be Wanda.

Although the Wanda created by the Celestials is not Hawk's Wanda, it is not even an alternate version of his Wanda.

But she is indeed Wanda, so there is a possibility that she could enter Hawke's timeline.

This is why Hawke said Wanda was his enemy.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

Hawke came here to settle things in one decisive battle and shatter the Celestials' dreams completely, so he will not give them any chance to take advantage.

"That's why I need a helper."

"helper?"

"Yes."

"Stephen's head was crushed by the Scarlet Witch with one hand. I can't imagine anyone here being able to beat her."

"What can kill you is never your enemy, but yourself."

“I’ve heard that saying before, so…”

"Wanda!"

The Celestials, by a twist of fate, have created a Scarlet Witch who could potentially counter them.

same.

Hawke's trip to the next dimension was somewhat accidental, and he ended up meeting up with Wanda from that dimension first.

That's why they say there's always an antidote within seven steps.

The Scarlet Witch created by the Celestials may be quite powerful.

But a fake is a fake.

The Wanda in this dimension is the real Wanda, but it's an alternate version of Wanda.

Moreover, it's a dark version of Wanda.

therefore--

"I need to go back to the next timeline first."

Hawke said to Natasha, "After I go back, don't reveal anything about me, since they don't know I've already been here."

Natasha nodded seriously upon hearing this: "I understand. I won't tell anyone about this until you come back."

Hawke nodded, and then, using the soul imprint that Mephisto had given him, he began to call out to Mephisto directly.

soon.

Under Natasha and Andy's watchful eyes, Hawke, who was standing in front of them, vanished as if he had never existed.

Andy watched Hawke disappear, then realized what had happened, looked at Natasha, and couldn't help but ask again, "Who exactly is he?"

Natasha also came to her senses, looked at Andy who was confused, smiled slightly, and then looked again at the spot where Hawke had just disappeared.

"He..."

"Our savior!"

"Creditor!"

In the Hell dimension, Mephisto looked at Hawk, who had been brought back by him not long after he went up there, and his face was full of distress: "Can I call you my creditor? If they find out that you're going back and forth like this, I won't take any responsibility."

Hawke smiled slightly as he looked at Mephisto, who had been complaining non-stop ever since he brought him back.

"Don't worry, if it's my fault, I won't let you take the responsibility."

"That's good."

Mephisto's distressed expression eased upon hearing Hawke's assurance. He breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Hawke: "Didn't you just go up? Why did you come down?"

Hawke smiled and said, "I already know what they're up to. What are we still doing over there? Just killing time?"

Mephisto blinked.

"So what you're going to do next..."

"Find someone, start tweeting!"

Hawke smiled broadly, and then, once again, he did the same thing, disappearing from Mephisto's sight and returning to the sub-dimensional space he had come from.

In the next timeline, at 521A Palm Street.

Although Hawke's journey back and forth would only take a blink of an eye in Helltime, in this sub-dimensional space, Hawke has been gone for almost a month.

However, for Hawke right now, time is the least valuable thing.

But for ordinary life, a month is still quite a long time, the most obvious sign of which is that the lawn in front of 521A Palm Street has become much more lush.

Its abundance has reached a point where the city hall can issue a fine.

So this morning, Wanda stood by the kitchen window with a coffee cup in one hand and blocked out the reality at the door with the other, using her scarlet magic to control the lawnmower.

at this time.

A familiar voice sounded from behind her.

"Don't let the neighbors see, then they'll tie you to a cross and burn you." "..."

Wanda, holding a coffee cup, raised an eyebrow, turned her head, looked at Hawke who had appeared, and said with a smile, "I'm not the Salem witch who will obediently be sent to the cross by them."

Hawke laughed too.

"do not you?"

"of course."

Wanda tilted her head and looked at Hawke with a smile: "By blood, I have some Gypsy witch blood."

This explains why Wanda was born with the Scarlet Chaos magic.

Well known.

Salem witches still need to learn, but Gypsy witches are born witches.

Ninety-nine percent effort is never worth mentioning compared to one percent talent.

After Wanda finished speaking, she turned around and poured Hawke a cup of coffee, then turned around again and handed it to Hawke.

"Is the problem solved?"

"No."

Hawke took the coffee and shook his head: "There's been a small problem."

Upon hearing this, Wanda held the coffee cup with both hands, brought it to her lips, took a sip, and then looked up at Hawke with a smile: "Do you need my help?"

Hawk smiled slightly, then realized that the woman in front of him wasn't wearing the same loungewear she had just arrived in, but instead was dressed in her early battle attire, the somewhat gypsy-style Wanda outfit.

next second.

Hawke seemed to be deep in thought.

"You guessed it?"

"Guess?"

Wanda smiled at Hawke, her eyebrows arched, "I don't need to guess, because I've discovered that I seem to be able to stand on your timeline."

Look.

This is why Hawke rushed back to seek Wanda's help as soon as he heard that the Celestials had accidentally created the Scarlet Witch.

only……

Upon hearing Wanda's words, Hawke was struck by a thought, realizing that Wanda truly existed in every existence within his own timeline.

"So, on the timeline, you saw..."

"Another Wanda?"

Wanda interrupted, smiling, and said, "I saw her during your third halftime break."

Hawke was truly stunned this time.

"Uh……"

"But are you sure that's another version of me?"

"what?"

“She told me that she used to be called Wanda Maximov, but now she is just Gwen Phoenix.”

"..."

Hawke's mind went blank for a moment, and even his eyes became somewhat vacant.

"What did you two talk about?"

"Don't tell you."

Wanda smiled, then downed her coffee in one gulp, set the cup aside, and clapped her hands under Hawke's watchful gaze: "Let's go."

Hawke came back to his senses.

"Where?"

"Kill that damn imposter."

Wanda's expression was gentle, but her voice was unusually cold. After saying this, she looked at Hawke and said, "Of course, if you feel sorry for her, I can consider sparing her life."

"Hahaha!"

Hawke met Wanda's eyes, paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh a few times: "I feel sorry for you, how could that be, she's not you."

Upon hearing this, Wanda nodded thoughtfully.

"That's good. I thought the reason you wouldn't let me go over at first was because you were afraid I would kill that imposter after I saw her."

"How can it be."

Hawke vehemently denied Wanda's accusation.

The reason he didn't let Wanda go with him was because he was worried that if Wanda went to the 616th timeline, the Wanda existing in his own timeline would find out.

result……

He never expected that the two Wandas had already met, and it seemed that they were having a pretty good chat.

This is very strange.

However, Hawke tried his best not to think about what the two Wandas were talking about.

All he needed to know was that the two Wandas had met and that no fight had broken out.

That's enough for Hawke right now.

Again.

Let Hawke worry about what happens in the future.

Hawke's only thought right now is to completely thwart the Celestials' plot against him.

and so--

Hawke went to Kamar-Taj to inform Stephen's sister, who was now under house arrest and being looked after by the Sorcerer Supreme.

What if, when the younger sister discovers that Wanda has disappeared and her brother is also gone, she thinks that the two of them abandoned her and ran away?

This doesn't work.

He would never do anything to upset his sister.

After telling his sister what was going on, he returned to 521A Palm Street and smiled slightly at Wanda, who had already tidied up the house and was waiting for him in the living room.

"Ready?"

"I can't wait to tear that imposter's face to shreds."

"..."
