Marvel: Awakening the Universe

Maria Hill saw this and said nothing more. Instead, she turned around and ran quickly towards the SHIELD plane not far away.

While boarding the plane, she had already called the Pentagon.

After the SHIELD plane took off from the spot, the huge Quantico base became deserted.

As the sun sets, fires burn and debris spreads across the Quantico military base.

Hawke stood in an open space surrounded by ruins and debris, his hands in his pockets, his eyes closed, resting.

The entire military base was silent except for the sound of the remaining burning fire. Outside the military base, the surviving soldiers were looking in the direction of the military base with bated breath.

Time is ticking.

The air was quiet.

soon.

An hour is neither long nor short, and it passes in the blink of an eye.

at this time.

"Jingle Bell!"

A cell phone lying on the ground in front of Hawke began to ring.

Hawke opened his eyes and looked at the ringing phone. He bent down, picked up the phone, put it to his ear, and answered it.

"Hey!"

"Hawk."

Gwen's voice came from the other end of the line.

The voice was as gentle as ever.

"Are you done?"

"……almost."

"Then come back early. Don't forget, you still have to practice driving tomorrow."

"it is good."

"Well, I'll wait for you to come back in New York!"

"……it is good!"

"..."

Chapter 86 Phoenix Cloth and Reality Stone

The conversation between the two was short.

After a simple question and answer, the two ended the call.

After Hawke hung up the phone, he looked at the phone in his hand, as if thinking about something, then he thought of something and looked up at the sky.

His gaze seemed to penetrate the red-dyed clouds, through the atmosphere, and then locked onto a high-definition communication satellite.

Connection via high-definition communication satellite.

SHIELD combat command center.

Maria Hill, who had returned here, folded her arms, her eyes calm, but she was a little nervous as she looked at Hawke who seemed to be looking at them on the big screen in front of her.

She worried that Hawke would interpret the call as a threat.

In fact, this is not a threat.

This is a compromise.

Go back to New York City and pretend that what happened today never happened.

no way.

There are hawkish generals in the Pentagon who are clamoring to drop a nuclear bomb on Hawk.

but……

It would be fine if it succeeded, but what if it failed?

Who will bear the cost of failure?

When the hawkish general heard that he would be blamed if the country failed, he immediately fell silent.

He can be tough, but refuses to take the blame.

after all……

If they dare to do it, Hawke will really kill.

They dare not gamble.

The most important thing.

They couldn't gamble either. After all, the scene of General Ross lying on the floor like a dead dog with not even his head left was right in front of them.

None of the Pentagon's generals wants to be next.

So pretending to be dead became the only option.

But even though he pretended to be dead, Hawke still stayed in the Quantico military base.

Now, the Pentagon has thought of Maria Hill.

Maria Hill looked at Hawke on the big screen, his gaze looking through the satellite as if he was looking at her. She took out her phone and dialed.

Hawke looked up at the sky, then put his phone to his ear as it rang again.

"Hey."

"Hawk..."

"reason."

Hawke said calmly, "You only have one chance to explain yourself, Ms. Hill."

Hill quickly said, "Return the car."

Hawke raised his eyebrows.

Hawke's expression was clearly visible under the high-definition communication satellite.

Hill calmed down and quickly told Gwen that Natasha Romanoff went to New York City today to return the repaired car to her.

of course.

It also mentioned that after Hawke left New York City, in order to prevent the military from capturing Gwen and threatening Hawke, he asked Natasha to stay there just in case.

Except for the fact that she suspected that this incident was most likely caused by Nick Fury's collusion with General Ross, she said everything else.

She has no evidence for this matter yet.

but……

She would find out.

Maria Hill thought so in her heart.

Hawke listened to Hill's explanation in silence for a while, then withdrew his gaze from the sky.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Hill breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the thank you, and then seemed to think of something.

"I can arrange a flight to take you back to New York City."

"……Okay, thank you."

Hawke thought about it and did not refuse. Instead, after hanging up the phone, he looked at the only intact building in the entire base and took a deep breath.

His right foot retreated slightly, and the moment it landed, the stone slab under his feet instantly cracked.

next second.

boom!

The moment Hawke threw his right fist, countless panes of glass in the building before him could be seen shattering one after another. In the blink of an eye, the entire building shattered and collapsed...

From the moment the rumbling smoke and dust appeared, there was no intact building left in the entire Quantico military base, and it was completely reduced to ruins.

Maria Hill looked at the scene in front of her through the satellite screen, her eyebrows twitching.

The hawkish generals in the Pentagon watched this scene with horror.

Nick Fury, who had left S.H.I.E.L.D. and was in a secret room, was also watching this scene with a strange light flashing in his one eye.

After half an hour.

After the SHIELD plane took off from the Quantico military base again, the soldiers who had been waiting outside the base did not re-enter the base until the plane completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

Look around.

The earth cracked and buildings collapsed.

The burnt armored vehicles, tanks, fighter planes and corpses scattered all over the ground looked like the end of the world.

But what attracted the most attention was the corpse of a huge monster lying on the ruins, completely burned to charcoal.

"hiss!"

"This is……"

"Hate?"

"Where's his head?"

"Where's the head of the abomination?"

After Hawke left, some soldiers, who had grown braver again, came to the body of the abomination. Looking at the headless body of the abomination, they couldn't help but look at each other.

next second.

These soldiers seemed to have thought of something, and they all looked up at the same time, looking in the direction where the SHIELD plane had just disappeared.

Thousands of miles high in the sky.

Hawke sat on the soft sofa, looking at the hateful head in front of him. After being burned by the fire, it looked even more charred and hideous. He shook his head, turned his head up, and threw it into the trash can beside him.

He originally wanted to take the head back to his sister's grave and give it to her.

But his sister is very timid. When she was little, she would hide in his arms when she saw a mouse. Bringing such an ugly gift would probably scare his sister Anya to tears.

and so……

Forget it.

Don't scare Anya to tears. Even if she was scared to tears before, her sister was still alive and could be coaxed.

His sister is in hell now. If he scare her and makes her cry, he won’t be able to comfort her for a while even if he wants to.

Hawke thought to himself.

only……

When he thought of his sister who was still waiting for him to rescue her in hell, he became more and more eager to go to hell.

After the Battle of Quantico, Hawke has a clear and complete understanding of his current strength.

In a word.

I am invincible in this world!

but……

Invincible.
