Time flowed by like water, swiftly passing.
In a blink of an eye,
New York University and Imperial University started their semesters.
In another blink of an eye,
They were on vacation again.
"Wow."
"It's snowing."
On the first morning of vacation,
Gwen, fresh out of bed, put on her pajamas and was about to pull open the curtains to start a new day when her eyes suddenly lit up. She saw the snow covering the backyard in White and the goose-feather snow still falling. She couldn't help but exclaim, then turned her head to look at Hawk, who was still lying in bed.
Because the two were already engaged, it was quite normal for them to live together.
Helen didn't object to this, but she subtly hinted that the two should be a bit careful.
For example, she had finally raised the two rascals, Howard and Simon, and could finally catch her breath. If possible, she hoped to relax for a few more years and wasn't eager to become a grandmother so soon.
In a simple sentence,
No unplanned pregnancies before the official marriage.
Hawk and Gwen, for Helen's only request, naturally nodded in agreement without hesitation.
So, from the start of university, Gwen, except for occasionally staying at Helen's place for a night on weekends, had mostly been living on Palm Street.
After all, this was her future home.
She was very happy.
Hawk was also very happy.
Helen was quite happy too, as the relationship between her future son-in-law and her daughter had been very good so far.
She had seen all of this with her own eyes.
Howard and Simon, needless to say.
And George.
Uh…
Let's not talk about George.
Seeing the snow outside, Gwen returned to bed and looked at Hawk with some excitement.
"It's snowing, Hawk."
"I see it."
"Get up quickly, let's go build a snowman at the door."
Gwen followed up, looking at Hawk and saying, "I was just chatting with Mrs. Smith next door yesterday about how to decorate for Christmas this year, and I didn't expect it to snow today."
While speaking, Gwen began to pull Hawk, preparing to forcefully get him out of bed.
Pulled up by Gwen, Hawk couldn't help but give a wry smile, looking at Gwen: "Gwen, do you know what time I came back last night?"
Gwen was startled at first, then remembered: "Oh right, you went to fight Thor again last night. When did you come back?"
Hawk calmly said, "I just flew back from Mars a minute before you woke up, so can I sleep for a bit?"
Yes.
A fight on Mars, him and Thor.
And this wasn't their first fight; last night's fight was their tenth.
From September to this December, they maintained a frequency of roughly one fight per week.
Actually, at first, he and Thor fought outside the atmosphere.
But…
After two or three times, S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't sit still.
Hawk was fine.
The main issue was Thor.
Although he was currently a Hammer God, his divine authority was still Thunder, so when fighting near the atmosphere, the lightning arcs spluttering from Thor would inevitably affect some more precise equipment.
A single instance would be fine.
Leaving Hawk aside,
Just speaking of Thor, he was a God who truly existed in legends.
Moreover, after the Battle of New York, the Five Great Benefactors also became aware of the risks beyond Earth. With their current small frames unable to leave Earth, befriending a deity would more or less increase their ability to resist risks.
After all, this was reality, not a movie.
There might be many who wanted to slay gods upon seeing them, but the Five Great Benefactors were definitely not foolish people.
So, after Hawk and Thor's first fight, the Five Great Benefactors, seeing the reported satellite losses, grudgingly accepted it.
But seeing that the frequency of their fights was almost once a week, who could sit still? They couldn't possibly use all the Vibranium they had just been allocated to replace satellites, could they?
The Five Great Benefactors already had plans for the use of Vibranium.
Replacing satellites was not part of the plan.
So…
Sharon came to visit, first finding Hawk and subtly conveying the Five Great Benefactors' intentions.
Hawk refused to take the blame on the spot but said that changing locations wasn't impossible, but he alone couldn't decide this matter.
Sharon then went to find Thor.
Thor was furious, stating that Earthlings were insulting a God.
Gods cannot be insulted!
Sharon said nothing, merely silently taking out a total loss statement for Earth's satellites and handing it to Thor.
After seeing it, Thor's anger vanished, and he stated that he would discuss changing locations with Hawk.
Then…
The two went to fight on the Moon for their fourth time.
As a result, once again, when Thor raised Mjolnir and summoned thunder, the lightning, like silver snakes dancing wildly, once again instantly destroyed the lunar exploration machines of both Eastern and Western Great Benefactors.
After that, the two saw Sharon, who looked like she had something to say, but before she could speak, they stated that they would go much further.
So the two huddled together, thinking about where to fight next. Jane, who was nearby, casually suggested Mars.
Hawk and Thor exchanged glances, thought about it, and then moved their battleground to the desolate Mars, where there were no people.
Although it was a bit far, it allowed the Five Great Benefactors to stop nagging and also allowed him and Thor to fight to their heart's content. Mars was indeed a pretty good choice.
Moreover, during these several fights on Mars, although Hawk's Little Universe still looked somewhat desolate at first glance,
The stars had clearly increased.
Hawk estimated that if they continued fighting at a frequency of once a week, he would not be far from advancing to the peak of Silver.
Therefore, he was very willing to continue fighting Thor.
Thor was also very happy.
Although he had settled on Earth for love, he was still the reckless Thor at heart. Being able to have a hearty fight once a week was naturally excellent.
The most important point was this:
During the process of their fights, Hawk gained something, and Thor also gained something.
At the very least…
The current Thor had also made progress in his control over his divine authority of Thunder.
Not much,
But he had indeed progressed.
At the very least, when Hela appeared in the future, Thor's eyeballs should be safe.
After Gwen left, Hawk, lying back on the bed, replayed his fight with Thor on Mars from last night in his mind.
However, he didn't sleep much longer. He merely sank his mind into his Little Universe, and after getting no results from sensing the Seventh Sense, he reopened his eyes and got up.
Soon,
After he and Gwen had breakfast, his fiancée, still thinking about the snowman, dragged him out, and they began building a snowman on the lawn in front of their house.
Other residents of Palm Street with children had also excitedly come out to build snowmen.
Ultimately,
The snowman Gwen built received unanimous praise from the nearby children, winning the championship of the new Palm Street Snowman Building Contest.
On the lawn in front of their house, there was now a chubby snowman with a carrot nose, wearing a Christmas hat and a red and White scarf, being photographed by nearby neighbors.
Hawk stood by, smiling as he watched Gwen chatting and laughing with the neighbors.
When he lived here alone, he wasn't very familiar with these neighbors; at least, they could be said to be strangers to each other.
But ever since he proposed to Gwen, and she moved in as his fiancée, everything changed.
On the first day Gwen officially moved in, she dragged Hawk, and they took the pastries they had baked all morning to visit their neighbors.
In just one month, Gwen got to know all the neighbors in the Palm community, and the neighbors also accepted Gwen.
Normally, every weekend, whenever the women of the community had an activity, they would almost always think of Gwen.
And so,
In the afternoon, Gwen went with Mrs. Smith next door to St. Mark's Church to volunteer.
Hawk went along too.
However…
He didn't join Gwen and the other neighbors outside the church to help distribute free warm blankets and food to the nearby homeless. Instead, he went to the cemetery behind the church to visit his sister.
Hawk stood with his hands in his pockets, quietly looking at the photo of his sister on the tombstone in front of him.
In the photo, his sister Anya's smile was still very sweet.
He listened to Gwen's laughter coming from the church entrance, recalled Anya's smile, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards.
Hawk's eyes met his sister Anya's in the photo on the tombstone in front of him.
"Next year,"
"I'll go to Hell and bring you home."
"I promise."
He had originally intended to go to Hell this year to bring his sister home.
Clearly,
Hawk would have to break his promise.
To achieve free passage between life and death, one must comprehend the Eighth Sense.
But he was still far from even the Seventh Sense, let alone the Eighth Sense.
Although with his current strength, which was not that of a God but could barely be called divine in combat power, even going to Hell wouldn't be a big problem.
But if Mephisto was determined not to release her, even if he went to Hell now, he still wouldn't be able to resurrect his sister.
What's more…
The Hell Dimension was probably no longer near Earth now.
Thor told him this.
It was due to the brief convergence of the Nine Realms.
Although to the people of the Nine Realms, the convergence of the Nine Realms was just a very short-lived spectacle that occurred only once every few millennia.
But in reality, this was an energy storm triggered by the vibration of the World Tree. It didn't erupt before or during the Nine Realms' convergence, but after it.
This energy storm was colorless, odorless, and formless, but it was fatal to dimensional space.
After the Nine Realms converged, all dimensions that could connect to Earth, such as the Witch Dimension, or the White magic and Black magic dimensions, including Hell, almost all sealed off their passages to Earth to avoid being affected by this energy storm.
Even if Hawk wanted to go to Hell now, he couldn't.
Night fell.
After Hawk and Gwen had dinner at St. Mark's Church, they walked home together.
The next second,
He saw a long-unseen acquaintance in front of the living room fireplace.
The Hell Witch, covered in blue flames, reappeared in front of his living room fireplace.
Gwen, beside him, was startled by the flaming Hell Witch.
Before Hawk could even explain,
The Hell Witch rushed to Hawk, her inner souls speaking urgently one after another.
"Hawk, help us."
"Our descendant…"
"Someone is bullying her, just like we were bullied back then."
"Her energy is running wild, I'm afraid she'll hurt herself."
"…"
