It wasn't just the blue-grey dark-skinned woman in front of him.
The other three blue-grey dark-skinned women, who Hawk had restrained around the speedboat in an attacking posture using his telekinesis, also spoke with difficulty and pain, saying nonsense like 'I can't breathe' after their mouths were freed.
Hawk ignored them, watching with interest as the blue-grey dark-skinned woman's face gradually turned rosy and shiny, but extremely ugly, from lack of oxygen.
The blue-grey dark-skinned woman's voice gradually became hoarse, as if someone was pressing a knee against her neck, making her voice almost inaudible.
Her life was at a critical point.
Just then.
"Boom!"
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
Just as the seawater beneath the speedboat seemed to come alive, erupting suddenly and tearing the speedboat apart, Hawk's eyes glowed crimson. In less than 0.1 seconds, he instantly refined the four blue-grey dark-skinned women with the Phoenix Ray, and his figure vanished from the spot.
The next second.
Boom!
The speedboat was instantly torn into chewable, jerky-like fragments by the suddenly violent seawater.
Hawk stood in mid-air with an expressionless face, looking down at the sea.
A silver object suddenly shot out of the raging seawater, shimmering like lightning, towards Hawk.
Hawk raised an eyebrow, and his right fist instantly shot out!
Accompanied by the clang of metal, Hawk saw the full form of the silver object that had collided with his fist.
A fork.
Scientific name—
Trident!
Kuang!
The collision of the fist and the trident produced an instant Impact. The trident flew backward, spun once in the air, then broke through the air, skimming the sea surface, tearing through the water with a rumbling sound, and whistling towards a certain spot.
Hawk sneered, stepped out with his right foot, then aimed at the trident breaking through the air and the sea surface beneath it, and once again swung his fist.
A wave also rose from the sea at this moment.
Boom!
The moment Hawk's whistling fist collided with the towering giant wave, a deafening roar erupted. Although this descending giant wave stopped the advance of Hawk's fist, it was instantly shattered upon contact with the fist, turning into countless splashing water droplets that crashed back into the ocean.
The next second!
A man wearing emerald battle armor, with a pair of wings on his ankles, equally dark-grey skin, a muscular build, and a bare upper body, grabbed the trident. As the giant wave receded, he appeared in Hawk's line of sight.
Hawk narrowed his eyes, looking at the newcomer who appeared after the wave, waving the trident in his hand to call the shattered wave back into the sea, and standing in mid-air just like him.
Unlike Hawk's very natural mid-air stance.
This newcomer, who had been approaching at supersonic speed underwater while Hawk was enjoying the slow suffocation of the four blue-grey dark-skinned women, was also standing in mid-air, but the two small wings on his ankles were flapping convulsively.
Hmm.
The scene was very abstract.
After the newcomer called the wave back into the Water, his ankle wings flapped, and he stood in mid-air, holding the trident and staring at Hawk.
"Hawk Phoenix."
"Who are you."
"McKenzie, Namo McKenzie."
Namo McKenzie, the king of Talokan, an isolated nation like Wakanda, from the undersea kingdom, held the trident, his voice as cold as seawater.
But it was black seawater.
Hawk listened to the newcomer introduce himself, his thoughts racing. In his memory palace, all memories of famous Marvel characters instantly opened, beginning to scroll at the speed of light.
The next second.
He found the origin of the name.
Namo McKenzie.
Aquaman!
However, it wasn't the Aquaman of the DC Universe, but the Aquaman of the Marvel Universe.
DC's Aquaman is the King of Atlantis.
Marvel's Aquaman is also the King of Atlantis, but here it's called Talokan.
DC's Aquaman is a hybrid of Atlanteans and surface dwellers.
Marvel's Aquaman is also a hybrid.
As for why DC's Aquaman is a hybrid and Marvel's Aquaman is a hybrid, Hawk doesn't intend to explain.
DC's Aquaman has the nemo trident.
Marvel's Aquaman also has the nemo trident!
Aquaman Namo can not only breathe freely underwater, but also breathe comfortably in high-altitude areas. He can not only soar at supersonic speeds in the sea, but also move quickly on land, and his strength is comparable to Thor. In fact, when he is in the Water, even Thor is not as strong as him (this was said by the editor in an interview, although the movie performance was very poor).
Hawk's thoughts raced, and then he remembered the blue bead containing a lot of seawater that he found after destroying Wakanda.
He then looked at Namo, who was holding the nemo trident.
"Wakanda!"
"Yes."
The blue-grey Namo, holding the nemo trident, met Hawk's gaze: "You are just as my wife described, you have a cold heart."
Hawk raised an eyebrow.
"Your wife?"
"Shuri."
"The Princess of Wakanda?"
Hearing this, Hawk's expression first furrowed, then he looked at Namo and chuckled: "I thought she had died in Wakanda like her brother T'Challa."
Namo smiled slightly: "If I hadn't married her."
His kingdom actually had no close ties with Wakanda.
At least before Hawk exposed Wakanda, his kingdom and Wakanda merely guarded the secret of Vibranium together.
After all, Wakanda had Vibranium, and they also had Vibranium.
But just as Wakanda's previous king, T'Chaka, was about to die and go to the Ancestral Plane, he found him and betrothed Shuri to him.
Then, no sooner had he brought Shuri back to his undersea kingdom than Hawk destroyed Wakanda.
Hmm.
It happened one after another.
"You are very cruel, Mr. Phoenix."
"Thank you."
Hawk accepted Namo's compliment with an expressionless face, then looked at Namo: "So, you're here for revenge?"
Namo shrugged.
"You killed my wife's entire family."
"Let me give you a suggestion."
"Please do!"
"Hand over your wife, then get lost, and don't ever appear before me again. Otherwise, I guarantee your undersea kingdom will also disappear from the world like Wakanda."
Hawk's tone was calm.
He had thought Wakanda was extinct.
He never expected... there was still a fish that slipped through the net.
And this fish that slipped through the net even delivered himself to his doorstep.
Namo listened to Hawk's suggestion and laughed.
Hawk looked at the laughing Namo, and he also laughed.
Soon.
Namo's smile faded.
"You are not only cruel, but also very arrogant."
"So what?"
"Let me give you a suggestion."
"Speak."
"Kneel down, kowtow towards Wakanda, and I'll let you go."
Namo also offered Hawk a suggestion with a calm expression.
Hawk's smile didn't fade, but rather gradually bloomed, his gaze fixed on Namo with a deep intensity.
"Just you?"
"A hybrid with wings on his feet?"
"Heh!"
Hawk sneered, then burst into laughter.
Hybrid?
Namo's face instantly changed upon hearing Hawk's description. He looked at Hawk, who was laughing unrestrainedly, and without further ado, he wielded his trident, his ankle wings flapping rapidly, and charged towards Hawk.
"Die!"
"Just you?"
Hawk looked at the charging Namo, his smile instantly vanishing. His right fist also shot out once again.
"Boom—!!"
A louder roar sounded, and a sonic boom cloud also appeared at the moment the fist and trident collided.
Both Hawk and Namo simultaneously flew backward.
But!
Hawk, who was flying backward, suddenly vanished, leaving only a scattered afterimage. When he reappeared, he was behind Namo, who was also flying backward, and his fist, as big as a sandbag, slammed towards Namo, who seemed to be charging straight at him.
Just then.
Namo also seemed to react. Suddenly, he violently twisted his body, and the nemo trident in his hand glowed with a strange blue light, colliding with Hawk's fist once again like a backward thrust.
Boom!
A deafening roar exploded.
Not just the air, but also the seawater.
The Impact generated by the collision of Hawk's energy and Namo's energy pressed down on the sea surface, instantly creating a huge crater with a diameter of tens of meters beneath their feet.
Around the crater, the rising seawater seemed to connect with the sky, forming an impenetrable wall of water.
"Beep!"
"Beep!"
"Beep!"
"S.H.I.E.L.D. satellites detect strong energy fluctuations in the North Pacific Ocean."
"Analyzing energy data."
"Beep beep beep!"
"Phoenix and..."
"Unknown energy, recording for database comparison."
"Comparison results are out."
"Thor..."
"Officer, there are strong energy fluctuations in the North Pacific Ocean. Phoenix and an unknown energy, whose intensity is infinitely close to Thor."
"Deploy S.H.I.E.L.D. energy satellites."
"Understood, deploying satellite signal, online in five minutes."
"...Online successful."
"Bring it up."
Commander Victoria Hand immediately gave the order, then looked up at the large screen in front of her.
Just then.
The door to the command center behind her opened, and Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Maria Hill, who had just received the news and rushed here, walked to Victoria Hand's side, looking at the large screen that was connecting with the S.H.I.E.L.D. satellite signal.
"What's going on? Aren't we pursuing Merrick? Where did this energy, comparable to Thor in intensity, come from?"
"I don't know, but... the satellite is online."
Commander Hand shrugged. Fortunately, at this moment, the large screen had already connected to the satellite signal, ending the topic.
The next second.
The large screen, which had been dimly displaying 'connecting signal,' suddenly lit up.
Immediately after, under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s black technology satellite, the dark North Pacific Ocean in reality appeared like White in the large screen...
