Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

"Although the Celestial Gods Group is called Celestial Gods."

"But we are not gods."

"We are just tools."

“It was created by a true God as an instrument to serve Him.”

Thiam's voice echoed in Hawke's mind.

"Therefore, even the most creative creator, Sera, could not directly create a tool that could plunder the gods."

"..."

Hawk listened intently to Thiam's words, then seemed to ponder, "So, Sera gave up her own body and transformed herself into Black Hawk?"

Thiam responded.

"Yes, that's his real plan."

"The bodies of the Celestials have never been an enhancement for us, but rather a prison."

"Because only the human body is closest to God."

"The devourers who survived the end of the last universe, including those who are eternal, dead, or even those who survived the end of the last universe, all choose to have human bodies as their physical form when they travel outside."

"But it's not without its flaws."

"Although we are not true gods, eternity has given us time, so we can be called the spirits of time."

"But this is just a spirit, like Friday created by Iron Man Tony Stark."

"We're actually pretty much the same as on Friday."

"Although it has a high degree of autonomy, it is actually still a pre-programmed program; it only has intelligence, not wisdom."

“Sera now wants to replace you. Possessing himself in Black Hawk’s body is only the first step. He also needs to transform himself from a spirit into a soul.”

"Only in this way will he have the right to take your place after killing you."

"That's why the current Black Hawk, also known as Sera, is using your face to hunt down extraordinary life forms all over the world as nourishment for them."

After listening to Thiam's account, Hawke had a complete understanding of the creator Sera's plan.

He said that coming here to find Thiam was the right thing to do.

"so……"

"That Black Hawk..."

"wrong."

"It's Sera."

Hawke stroked his chin: "Sera's plan is not to create a pseudo-me to replace me, but to let him replace me himself?"

After saying that, Hawke couldn't help but chuckle: "Well, this creator, Sera, is more ambitious than I imagined."

He underestimated the creator, Sera.

Anyway, if he hadn't come here to find Thiam, he probably wouldn't have realized that it wasn't Black Hawk at all, but Sera, until he met the Black Hawk who was impersonating him.

Although he eventually realizes this, the ending seems to remain unchanged.

but……

It's always good to realize this sooner rather than later.

"It's good to be ambitious."

“But ambition without the ability to back it up isn’t ambition; it’s just being presumptuous.”

Hawke chuckled softly, then looked at Thiam and thought for a moment: "One last time, do you want to be born?"

Given that the information provided by Thiam was very helpful, he intended to give Thiam a second chance.

but……

Thiam still chose to refuse.

"Thank you for your kindness, God."

"I understand."

Seeing this, Hawke said no more, bid farewell to Thiam, and then turned and left Thiam's heart space.

When he returned to Skull Island, he found that Wanda had reunited with the Avengers who now lived there.

Captain America, Steve Rogers.

Iron Man Tony Stark.

Hawkeye Patton.

Ant-Man and the Wasp.

and also……

Sharon Carter.

When Hawke arrived, he looked at Sharon and said, "I saw someone with the same last name, Carter, over in New Frankfurt."

Sharon looked at Hawke, who had appeared, and smiled slightly: "You mean Andy? Did you initially think she was also from the Carter family?"

Hawke shrugged.

"indeed."

"Don't take it personally. When I first learned her surname, I also thought she was some kind of relative of ours."

"Then?"

“There was an ancestor of the Carter family named Andy, but that was hundreds of years ago.”

"Ok."

Hawke smiled slightly upon hearing this, not giving it much thought, and then his gaze fell on a device that looked like a dimensional teleportation device not far away: "Is this a quantum space teleportation device?"

"Correct!"

The one who spoke was Ant-Man.

Ant-Man, noticing Hawke's gaze fall on the device, explained, "After arriving on Skull Island, we thought of using the Quantum Realm to travel to your universe and seek your help."

After all, they had realized that the Scarlet Witch and Hawk they were seeing were imposters. In that case, they had no choice but to ask the real Hawk and Wanda to come and fight.

result……

Hawke listened to Ant-Man's explanation and looked at him: "Let me guess, you had no way to enter the quantum realm?" Ant-Man nodded, a look of lingering fear on his face: "Yes, and we almost got lost in the disordered space."

What's more distressing than being trapped in the quantum realm forever is being lost in disordered space.

If the quantum realm is the intersection of all multiverses and spacetime, then disordered space is a place of utter exile.

You are trapped in the quantum realm, and the worst outcome is that you will grow old and die in the quantum realm and never be able to return to the normal universe.

However, if you are trapped in a disordered space, then congratulations, you will feel like you are living a life worse than death, every second is like living a life worse than death.

Hawke looked at Ant-Man, whose face was still showing signs of fear: "The Celestials sealed off this universe, and even the entrance to Hell was closed by Mephisto after they promised him a rich reward."

A teenage girl whose eyes looked remarkably like Tony Stark's, but whose face resembled a young Pepper, looked at Hawke in a soft, sweet voice and said, "But Aunt Natasha said you came through the Hellgate."

Hawke looked at the girl who had spoken, her smile radiant.

"Yes, Morgan, I come from hell."

"what."

Morgan looked somewhat surprised.

"Do you remember me?"

"Of course, and I remember when I left, I told you to call me uncle, how come you're calling me 'you' now?"

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, Morgan smiled and playfully stuck out her tongue: "Uncle Hawke, so how did you get from hell? Did you convince Mephisto?"

Hawke smiled and said, "I guess you could call it persuasion, because I told him that if he didn't help me, I would tell his boss about his deal with the Celestials. I'm quite familiar with his boss."

Morgan's mouth gaped open.

Pepper Potts, standing to the side, smiled, put her arm around Morgan, and ruffled Morgan's hair: "Don't forget, your Uncle Hawke is a god too."

Morgan realized what was happening and stuck her tongue out at Hawke again.

Hawke smiled at Pepper and said, "Pepper, you're mistaken."

Pepper looked at Hawke upon hearing this.

Hawke smiled.

"The person standing in front of you is not a god."

"Uh……"

Wanda, who was sitting with Natasha, chuckled, looked at Pepper, and explained, "He was afraid of falling into a trap, so he didn't dare to come over in his real form."

Hawke raised an eyebrow: "Hey, what do you mean by fear? This is tactical."

There is absolutely no room for error if the real body comes.

But once consciousness descends, it uses the remaining body to scout ahead, and even if there are traps, it has nothing to fear.

In fashionable terms, why turn a situation where you could have been relaxed and at ease into one of constant fear and struggle?

So this is a tactic, not a matter of fear of death.

Wanda rolled her eyes at Hawke and said directly, "So, are you ready with your tactics now? Can you go settle accounts with the imposter?"

Hawke looked directly at Tony and Steve: "Do you know their location?"

New York City.

"They turned the Avengers headquarters into their headquarters. Scarlet Witch didn't know, but that Black Hawk was there."

“That’s not Black Hawk, it’s the creator, Sera.”

Hawke corrected Steve's words, and then briefly recounted the information he had just exchanged with Thiam: "So they don't want to create a pseudo-me to replace me at all, but rather they want to replace me."

Upon hearing this, Wanda frowned slightly and looked at Hawke.

"Then you're even more of a threat?"

"It's even more interesting now."

"..."

Wanda looked at the slight smile on Hawke's lips and raised an eyebrow once more: "What are you up to now?"

Hawke shrugged: "The Celestials have no souls; they are just tools. So it's impossible to torture them after death. And because they are just tools, even if they were alive, I couldn't torture them to the point of venting my anger."

This may also be why the Celestials ignored his murderous intent and provoked him again and again.

Because they are not afraid of punishment after death.

“But it’s different now.”

"Why is it different?"

"I intend to give him a soul first."

Hawke's lips curled up as he looked at Wanda: "Once Sera has his own soul, then I can suppress him in my underworld and torture him properly."

Upon hearing this, Wanda and Hawke exchanged glances.

after awhile.

Wanda looked away, nodded, and then spoke calmly.

"You really are not a good person."

"..."

Hawke's lips twitched slightly as he listened to Wanda's assessment.

at this time.

Captain America, Steve Rogers, spoke in a deep voice.

"no!"

"what happened?"

"According to Friday's intelligence, they have plundered many more supernatural creatures and are on their way to New York City. If they are allowed to develop a soul, who knows how many more lives will be lost."

"That's it."

Hawk shrugged and looked at Captain America: "Captain, make a choice. Do you want a world that's been ruined, or do you want the world you used to know to come back?"
