Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Rumble!
As Wanda finished speaking to Hawke with a smile, the distant sky was filled with the rumble of helicopters.

It was as if a large army was pressing in.

Hawke looked up at the sky.

Eye-catching!

It looks very much like a S.H.I.E.L.D. ship, but the symbol is not S.H.I.E.L.D. at all. It is a space carrier that has been deactivated from its stealth state and is hovering in the sky thousands of miles away.

The rumbling sound came from a helicopter that took off from the space carrier and was rapidly diving towards them.

soon.

The helicopter landed on the scorched forest land in the distance. Then, a capable-looking African American woman and a kind-looking Asian man quickly stepped out of the helicopter, one after the other, and came to Hawke and Wanda.

Then--

Their gazes swept over Hawke's bare face, seemingly without any surprise, before settling on Wanda.

Monica Rambo, an African-American woman and daughter of Maria Rambo, the founding director of S.W.O.R.D., also known as "The Spectrum," spoke first.

"Wanda."

Monica.

Looking at the person who could be considered a familiar face, Wanda looked at Monica and said calmly, "Did you come here because I destroyed S.W.A.R.D.?"

Monica chuckled and shook her head, saying, "No, in fact, ever since Xijing Town, the bureau has been looking for an opportunity to return Hawke's body to you."

Wanda smiled when she heard this.

“But you didn’t return it to me until I took action.”

“You are very unstable, and the bureau is very worried about you.”

Monica Rambo said this, then glanced at Hawke again out of the corner of her eye, and then said to Wanda, "In fact, the department is very worried about you, and they are still very worried about you now."

I was even more worried after Wanda's brazen attack on Skysword.

After all, the events in Xijing Town had been over for some time, and Wanda had disappeared for quite some time after that, no matter how hard the Heavenly Sword Bureau searched, they could not find her.

Whether it's S.H.I.E.L.D. or S.W.O.R.D., whenever their leader is of African descent, there seems to be a strange and morbid desire for control.

In a word.

They knew they couldn't control Wanda, but they still wanted to find out her whereabouts and how to make her work for them.

They kept Hawke's body with this idea in mind from the beginning.

But more importantly, it carries a sense of coercion.

Simply put.

He used Hawke's body to control Wanda.

This is the main reason why they have been considering returning Hawke's body to Wanda, but have yet to pass a resolution for its return.

Once again, in any world, humans, especially Western humans, always have a particular fondness for controlling powers that they cannot control at all.

Even if they know the consequences are unbearable, they will still choose to give it a try.

Very strange.

Maybe……

This is what Westerners call the spirit of adventure.

Then there is no more.

Wanda descended from the sky, annihilating the Sky Sword Bureau and retrieving her husband's body from their secret storage location.

The entire process was swift and efficient, without a single wasted word.

Wanda's actions were swift, but they also greatly alarmed the Federation's top brass, which is why Monica Rambo is here at this moment.

Because some people need Monica Rambo's help to confirm what Wanda really wants to do and whether the purge plan needs to be carried out.

at the moment?

Monica Rambo had been thinking about this as she was coming over, but now, seeing Hawke standing beside Wanda, who hadn't uttered a word since they landed, she understood what Wanda was doing.

Wanda is dwelling on the past again.

Monica Rambo glanced at Hawke out of the corner of her eye, then looked at Wanda, who was both an enemy and a friend after the Westingtown story, and said with a hint of advice in her tone: "Wanda, he's dead. You don't need to keep dwelling on the past."

Upon hearing this, Wanda raised an eyebrow, glanced subconsciously at Hawke beside her, and then looked back at Monica Rambo.

The past cannot be retrieved.

"I value the future more than the past."

"..."

Hawke, standing nearby, heard Wanda's two sentences and felt they sounded familiar, as if he had just said them himself. He then realized why Wanda had glanced at him earlier.

But he didn't say anything, instead turning his attention back to the space carrier hovering thousands of miles in the sky.

Compared to the two people in front of him, Hawke was more curious about the thing hidden on the space carrier that seemed to have a connection to him.

He subconsciously squinted, trying to make out what the thing looked like.

but……

Can't see.

Hawke's arrival this time was a descent of consciousness and soul, not a descent of his own power.

Although he could use his Phoenix Force, doing so again would immediately trigger the alarm of Universe 616 itself.

and so!
If you can't see it, just ask.

Hawke turned his gaze away from the space carrier and looked at the African American man who was talking to Wanda, a man who didn't seem particularly interested in communicating with him.

"What is that thing on the space carrier that carries my scent?"

"what?"

Monica Rambo was slightly taken aback when she saw Hawke suddenly speak, and then subconsciously looked at Wanda.

After all, she believed that Hawk was another creation of Wanda, who used her magic to distort reality. Therefore, in her imagination, Hawk's words were essentially the same as Wanda's words.

Wanda met Monica Rambo's gaze, took Hawke's arm, and looked at Monica Rambo. "My husband is asking you, Monica."

"Oh, Wanda, you're really into character..."

"Fine, don't tell me then, I'll go see for myself."

Just as Monica was feeling helpless and sorry for Wanda, who was still immersed in the illusion, Hawke, who was too lazy to continue the conversation, interrupted her.

next second.

The moment Hawk, shirtless, looked up, his figure transformed into a golden-red light and soared into the sky.

Jimmy Wu, an FBI agent but also a cooperating agent of Skywarp, looked up in astonishment at Hawke, who had transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky.

Monica Rambo was also stunned by what she saw.

Well known.

The products that Wanda created by distorting reality are inseparable from Wanda.

But right now?
Monica Rambo stared wide-eyed at Wanda.

"Wanda, isn't he just an illusion you created using chaos magic?"

"When did I say that?"

Wanda laughed, looking at Monica Rambo, who looked incredulous: "I've already said, the past is gone, and besides, my husband is back, so why should I dwell on the past?"

Upon hearing this, Monica's pupils widened, and she gasped in disbelief.

“Hiss, so this Hawk…”

"Yes."

"Shet!"

Monica seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously swore before looking up at the space carrier hovering thousands of miles in the sky.

next second.

Boom!

With a deafening roar high in the sky, the hovering space carrier shuddered violently. Then, a large hole was suddenly blasted open on the right side of the ship, and a golden-red light and a pure white light roared down like meteorites crashing onto the scorched earth in the distance.

Bare-chested Hawk quickly rose from the pit below, hovering about two meters above the ground, looking at his other self with a curious expression.

Yes.

Another version of myself, yet not myself.

Although the person in front of him had skin so pale it was unrecognizable, and resembled Hawke who was made of some kind of white metal and possessed his own aura, Hawke was certain that this was not him.

And it certainly wasn't the ambiguous version of myself that the Celestials were trying to use to replace me in their plan.

However, Hawke's mind raced, and he quickly realized what was going on with this "self" in front of him: "White Hawke?"

Wanda told him about this last night during the five-minute break.

The so-called White Hawk is a technological clone created by Tyler Hayward, the acting director of SkySword, using Hawk's genes and technology, at a cost of several years and billions of dollars.

Yes.

Clones are simply clones of technology.

"Who are you."

White Hawk was also levitating with his feet off the ground. Looking at Hawk in front of him, for some reason, he felt a strong sense of disgust.

It's like a counterfeit seeing the real thing.

Hawke's expression was calm.

"Me? My name is Hawke."

"Hawk?"

"Hawk Phoenix!"

"impossible!"

After realizing what was happening, White Hawke's pupils contracted for a moment: "You are not Hawke, I am Hawke."

Since White Hawk was developed by Tyler Hayward, it has only obeyed Tyler Hayward's orders.

Before this, although White Hawk also had the memories of Hawk from this timeline, they had been sealed away.

However, after arriving in Westview Town, he had a philosophical debate with Hawk, who was created by Wanda using chaos magic, at the "Tongfu Inn." He broke through the memory blockade set by Tyler Hayward, gained all of Hawk's memories in this timeline, and after saying "I am Hawk," he broke through the roof and flew away.

However, after hiding for a while, he suddenly wanted to find Wanda.

But he also didn't know where Wanda was, so he thought of the Sky Sword Bureau.

Meanwhile, S.W.O.R.D. also wanted to find Wanda, and with Tyler Hayward already on trial, White Hawke was not opposed to cooperating with S.W.O.R.D., which could help him find Wanda.

And so, the two parties hit it off immediately.

Then--

Here he saw the real Hawk, who claimed to be Hawk himself.

"How could you possibly be Hawke?"

White Hawke muttered to himself, then his gaze suddenly shifted to Wanda not far away: "I am Hawke, Wanda!"

Wanda didn't even glance at White Hawke; her eyes were fixed on Hawke.

Hawke chuckled at Hawke's words and then asked a question.

"is it?"

You're saying you're me?

"Well."

Tell me, where are you from?
