With his Little Universe as the core.
With the mastery of the Sixth Sense as the source.
Under the enhancement of the Reality Stone, although Hawk could not materialize his Little Universe before comprehending the Seventh Sense and becoming a Gold Saint,
But…
Power doesn't lie.
Powerful, immense, far, far stronger than before, power was constantly being infused into his entire body through his Little Universe.
Within the Little Universe.
The fiery red gem, already adorned as the Phoenix's eye, illuminated every corner of the Little Universe like its dark red Sun.
Hawk slowly rose from the ground, lowered his gaze, extended his right hand, and then casually clenched it.
Bang!
The air and space in his palm were instantly compressed and then a booming sound of explosion erupted the moment his hand formed a fist.
The next second.
Hawk looked up.
The crowd standing in the safe zone in the distance, watching the battle, also noticed the changes in the sky and instinctively looked up.
What they saw!
The magnificent spectacle of the Nine Realms converging, triggered by the World Tree's millennia-long vibrations, was unfolding at this very moment.
Asgard's magnificent golden palace spires appeared above Salisbury Plain.
Jotunheim's eternal glaciers and cliffs followed closely behind.
And then…
Muspelheim's eternally burning Fire, Vanaheim's rune-covered cities, Alfheim's dazzling forests.
At this moment.
The Nine Realms formed a peculiar spectacle, connected from top to bottom.
Countless people on Earth looked up at the illusory Nine Realms appearing like a mirage.
Hawk was also watching.
His gaze passed through Asgard, through Vanaheim, and swept over the eternally burning Fire of Muspelheim, finally landing on that desolate plain filled with deathly silence, coldness, ashes, and eternal twilight.
Just then.
On the border of the desolate plain, a disheveled, wild-looking green figure, though still with untamed eyes despite her torn clothes and messy hair, appeared on the desolate plain.
Hawk's gaze passed through several realms of the Nine Realms, landing on the woman who slowly raised her head.
The moment the woman looked up, her gaze immediately locked onto Hawk.
Eyes met.
The next second!
As a golden pillar of light shot out from Asgard's Golden Palace, that desolate realm of jagged black monstrous rocks, twisted bone-like trees, and no Sun, Moon, or stars instantly vanished.
"This is…"
"Hela?"
"The Goddess of Death?"
"The Goddess of Death of the World Tree Universe?"
Hawk came back to his senses, looking at the World that seemed to have been… no, manually shielded by the God King, his eyebrows raised, and that green figure reappeared in his mind.
If he wasn't mistaken, that should be the Goddess of Death, Hela.
And that realm…
Heim?
The final destination for all living beings in the World Tree Universe after death.
As for why Heim looked so desolate and quiet.
It's normal.
Odin did it.
After conquering the Nine Realms, Odin not only chose to put his weapons away but also sealed his eldest daughter Hela in Heim.
And that wasn't all.
Worried it wasn't secure enough, Odin later sealed Heim as well.
Hawk's thoughts churned, recalling all information related to Hela and Odin.
Soon.
The time node of the Nine Realms' convergence disappeared.
Earth was still Earth.
Asgard was still Asgard.
Nothing happened.
Everything seemed calm and peaceful.
Hawk also withdrew his thoughts, looking at Peter, who appeared before him after a flash of red and blue light, and smiled slightly, greeting him.
"Long time no see, Peter."
"Good… uh."
Peter subconsciously replied, then reacted, looking at the smiling Hawk, somewhat stunned.
"Long time no see? It's been less than half an hour, and I've been here the whole time."
"For you, yes. For me, that half an hour just now was very long."
He seemed to have only sat cross-legged for a while in the dark space with his five senses sealed, then comprehended the Sixth Sense.
But in reality, only Hawk himself knew how long he had stayed in that space.
He stayed for a very long time.
A very, very long time.
After speaking to Peter, Hawk looked up at the scenery around Salisbury Plain.
The small grass growing on the ground.
The green trees in the distance.
The natural fragrance brought by the gentle breeze blowing through the trees and small grass.
All of this made Hawk feel as if he had been separated from the World for ages.
He had truly stayed in there for a very long time.
But…
He was back.
Hawk's heart stirred, and a beautiful figure that had appeared in his mind when he almost couldn't hold on resurfaced.
I must come back!
Gwen.
Thinking of Gwen, who was still waiting for him to return, Hawk took a deep breath and said to Peter, "Where are Gwen and Mary?"
Peter said, "At this time, they've probably just finished their buffet breakfast at the hotel."
After all, less than half an hour had passed.
As everyone knows.
For girls, traveling means taking all sorts of photos, and the hotel they chose this time specialized in a different buffet dessert every morning.
So…
Only half an hour had passed, so they must have just finished breakfast and were preparing to go out.
No, that's not right.
They might still be eating.
Peter remembered his girlfriend Mary, who once spent an hour meticulously editing a dinner photo.
Hawk nodded at the words.
"Then let's go, let's head back."
"Alright."
Peter shrugged, he was here to accompany Hawk anyway, so if Hawk said to leave, then he would leave.
Just as the two were about to leave.
Thor and his girlfriend Jane, as well as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Natasha and Barton, also approached at this moment.
"Hawk."
"Dr. Fox."
"Hawk."
"Natasha."
Hawk nodded to Jane Foster and Natasha, whom he knew, then looked at Jane: "Dr. Fox, this time, I owe you a favor. If you ever need anything, you can contact me anytime."
To repay kindness and seek revenge.
This was his fundamental principle of conduct.
No matter what, if it weren't for Dr. Jane Foster, he wouldn't have been able to obtain the Aether Particle.
This was a fact.
He had to acknowledge this favor.
Jane Foster did not refuse the favor, saying to Hawk, "Congratulations."
Although she wasn't sure what she was congratulating him on.
But…
Malekith was dead, Hawk was alive, so, congratulations were in order.
Hawk smiled slightly: "Thank you."
Then he looked at Natasha, whom he also knew, standing beside them.
Hawk chuckled: "Didn't you go to Africa?"
Natasha paused slightly, then shrugged: "Just got back, planning to rest a bit before going."
Hawk nodded, then his peripheral vision caught the enormous chasm that seemed to stretch across Salisbury Plain in the distance. After a thought, he said to Natasha, "Once again, I was acting in self-defense."
Natasha nodded: "We know."
She was, of course, very clear on this point.
Let's put it this way.
If Hawk and Malekith had fought in London, the entire city of London would have been destroyed.
"So, do you need to arrest me and take me back?"
"No, we're just here to ensure that the commotion here is kept as secret as possible from ordinary people. They are not yet ready to face such a sight."
"Alright."
Hawk nodded at the words, finally looking at Thor, who was standing beside them.
He looked at Thor.
"Thor."
"Hawk."
Thor, gripping his Mjolnir, looked at Hawk: "You are very strong. Thank you for saving Jane."
Once again, his voice was the deep baritone envied by a certain cosmic wanderer who, though a demigod, was comparable to a mortal.
After Thor brought Jane back to Asgard yesterday and learned that the substance within Jane was the Aether Particle, he already knew.
If there had been any more Aether Particle within Jane, even if she had been brought back in time, the side effects of the Aether Particle absorbing life force would have caused irreversible damage to Jane.
So…
Thor's thanks were sincere.
Hawk also heard the sincerity in Thor's thanks, smiled, and looked at Thor: "Sometime, let's meet in the Universe for a fight."
He also wanted to know if his current strength could defeat Thor, who was said to be able to lift a star.
Hawk felt he could.
But…
Feeling is one thing, practice is the only way to gain true knowledge.
Thor was inherently a brave and combative God, and upon hearing Hawk's words, a hint of battle intent flashed in his eyes: "Alright, now."
Hawk shook his head: "Not now, my saint cloth was just destroyed in the battle."
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the scattered golden saint cloth fragments on Salisbury Plain.
Hawk had thought about using the Reality Stone to restore the saint cloth to its original state.
But…
Once again.
The core function of a single Infinity Stone cannot negate or replace the core function of another Infinity Stone.
The most important point.
Even if it could, he couldn't, because the Reality Stone had already transformed into the Phoenix's eye. He had already used the Reality Stone to maintain his battle power above that of a true Silver Saint.
Simply put.
Before his Little Universe broke through to the Seventh Sense Gold Phoenix Little Universe and transformed into a truly existing Phoenix parallel Universe in reality, he could not use the Reality Stone for other purposes.
After all…
He had already maximized the Reality Stone's utility.
Hawk withdrew his gaze from the scattered saint cloth fragments on the ground.
He didn't think about collecting these fragments; even if they were collected, they couldn't be restored anyway.
After all, after his saint cloth was shattered, his Little Universe had also returned to chaos and re-evolved once.
The saint cloth of the old Universe could no longer keep up with him in the new Universe.
"And…"
"The most important point."
Hawk looked back at Thor, smiling as he stated the important reason why they couldn't fight now: "My girlfriend is still waiting for me. I came on this trip with her, and if I'm gone for too long, she'll worry."
Thor paused slightly.
The next second.
He felt a gaze that made him feel as if he had thorns on his back.
Thor instinctively turned his head to look.
Indeed.
It was Jane!
