Daybreak arrives.
A sudden loud bang erupts over the calm sea, imdiately followed by a mont when the sea surface with a diater of two hundred ters explodes violently.
A giant octopus, so massive it seed to block out the sun, suddenly leaps out of the sea.
"Holy shit!"
"Jesus!"
"Oh, God!"
In the S.H.I.E.L.D. Command Center, all the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were holding their breath, watching the large screen, saw this gigantic octopus. It was akin to suddenly seeing a horrid ghost coming at you while thoroughly enjoying a cody movie, and almost unanimously they let out a surprised cry.
Even Hill and Hand’s eyes shrank suddenly for a mont.
But...
One of them is the director, the other the commander, and they’re both won.
As is well known.
Violent organizations have always been a man’s world, at least that’s what people think, so to beco a leader in a man’s world, a woman must be stronger than most n.
So Hill and Hand resisted their instinctive urge, trying hard not to let themselves cry out in surprise.
At that mont.
A female agent, covering her mouth, had a sudden realization.
"Look, it’s the Phoenix!"
"God, it really is the Phoenix."
"He’s not dead, which ans that rfolk died?"
"rfolk?"
"I was going to call him a rmaid, but do you think he’s pretty?"
"Let’s just call him rfolk."
Hill and Hand exchanged glances upon hearing the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents’ discussion, then turned back to the big screen, showing the scene where Hawk, after lifting sothing out of the sea and casually tossing it aside, stood in the air, bare-chested, on the screen.
Hawk’s suit was a wreck already.
When that gigantic octopus stirred the underwater currents, his suit jacket was instantly shredded by the tumultuous waters.
It was only because Hawk reacted in ti that he wasn’t completely bare, just shirtless.
However...
How long has this damned octopus been alive?
It must be twenty thousand years old.
Hawk stood suspended in mid-air, frowning as he looked at the giant octopus corpse, like a waterfall draped across the sea, which he had just killed.
Hawk looked down at this octopus, which coincidentally appeared just when he was about to deal with Namor, and thought of Namor’s Nemo Trident.
It wasn’t surprising. This giant octopus appeared at that mont to protect Namor.
As everyone knows.
The DC Aquaman’s Nemo Trident can control the ocean’s power and communicate with marine creatures.
And the Marvel King of the Sea, Namor, his trident also has the power to control the ocean and summon marine creatures.
Hawk didn’t spend much ti defeating this giant octopus.
He was mainly searching for Namor underwater.
The result was evident.
Namor escaped.
In the seabed beneath where Namor was buried, Hawk discovered a deeper crack, and Namor’s aura vanished there.
He scouted around that crack, confirming Namor was gone, before bringing the gigantic octopus out of the water.
After all, it was a trophy.
He hadn’t yet tried what a twenty-thousand-year-old octopus barbecue tasted like.
Moreover, back in Waterfall Town, Hawk rembered joining a town Christmas food party with Gwen, where she ate takoyaki and remarked it was her favorite snack.
So...
Gwen would surely love a twenty-thousand-year-old octopus.
Hawk thought.
At that mont.
Suddenly!
Suddenly!
Suddenly!
In the distance, five speedboats in an attack defensive formation were speeding towards them.
Hawk turned his head to look, raised an eyebrow, and vanished instantly.
By the ti he reappeared, he was already on one of the speedboats.
The two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents on the speedboat were startled by Hawk’s sudden appearance.
Sharon Carter had already handed a black T-shirt emblazoned with the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo to Hawk the mont he appeared.
"Here you go."
"Thank you."
Hawk took the S.H.I.E.L.D. T-shirt Sharon handed over, thanked her, then glanced at the T-shirt in his hand and said to Sharon, "How many S.H.I.E.L.D. T-shirts is this for now?"
Sharon thought for a mont, "The fourth one?"
Hawk shook his head, "The fifth one."
The first S.H.I.E.L.D. T-shirt was after he flaunted his power at Quantico.
The second one was in Wakanda, where Hill prepared it for him.
The third was in London City, given by Natasha.
The fourth was in Texas.
Counting the current one, he should have five S.H.I.E.L.D. T-shirts by now.
After putting on the S.H.I.E.L.D. T-shirt, Hawk said to Sharon, "Last ti, Gwen ntioned she wanted to ask who your T-shirt supplier is because she plans to customize a female version to match ours as a couple’s set."
Sharon smiled.
"Gwen ntioned it to , and I’ve already given it to her."
"She didn’t tell ."
"It was just yesterday when she returned to New York City, and I picked her up at the airport."
"...Thank you."
Hawk, upon hearing this, looked at Sharon and thanked her, then his gaze fell on Sharon, who, though smiling, still showed a hint of fatigue in the corners of her eyes.
Clearly.
Sharon rushed here right after eting Gwen.
Hawk felt a stirring in his heart and looked at Sharon: "Alright, ask whatever you want, I’ll tell you everything I know!"
Sharon smiled at the corner of her eyes.
"Any question?"
"Anything!"
Hawk sat right on the deck, looking at Sharon and opened his arms: "At this mont, I’m an open book, I’ll tell you everything. By the way, you can take the octopus, just leave three tentacles, the fat ones."
Hearing this, Sharon imdiately nodded to the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents on the other speedboats.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent on another speedboat imdiately contacted the nearest S.H.I.E.L.D ship.
Sharon then also sat down on the deck.
"That rfolk just now..."
"rfolk?"
Hawk raised an eyebrow.
Sharon explained: "The one who fought with you, Marlon from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Command Center gave him the nickna."
Hawk’s expression beca clear.
"Alright, his na is Namor McKenzie, the king of the Undersea Kingdom Talokan."
"Talokan?"
"Atlantis, Talokan is what Atlantis used to be."
"Hiss!"
Sharon gasped: "The lost Atlantis?"
Talokan, never heard of it.
But Atlantis, that’s quite familiar, after all, it’s a kingdom that only exists in legends now, and so scholars even think Atlantis never existed.
Sharon used to be one of those.
But now...
"Did Atlantis really exist?"
"Of course, but it has been renad Talokan, the Undersea Kingdom, where their people live in the ocean."
Hawk flipped through his mory palace information about King Namor McKenzie and Talokan.
"The current location of Talokan should be sowhere in the Atlantic Ocean."
"Atlantic Ocean?"
"Yes."
Sharon nodded, then rembered the rfolk.
"That rfolk..."
"Escaped."
"Escaped?"
Sharon seed a bit shocked, her eyes widened as she looked at Hawk.
Seeing the expression on Sharon’s face, Hawk couldn’t help but chuckle.
"You seem more shocked than I am?"
"Of course."
Sharon nodded subconsciously, then realized, and said to Hawk: "I an, this might be the first enemy to escape from you."
Hawk blinked and looked at Sharon: "Really?"
The last ti with that Eternal...
Oh.
S.H.I.E.L.D wasn’t on Skull Island last ti, so they don’t know.
Hawk then chuckled and looked at Sharon: "Namor McKenzie’s nickna should be King of the Sea, just like I can’t kill the Lord of Hell in Hell, I can’t kill the King of the Sea in the ocean, at least not for now."
It’s the truth.
Although he found Namor’s weakness, it doesn’t an he can kill Namor on the spot.
At least not now.
If it were on land, just now, his punch aid at Namor’s weakness would have undoubtedly killed Namor.
But here, it’s the ocean, Namor’s ho ground.
So...
After he dealt with the giant octopus summoned by Namor to protect him, Namor had already seized the opportunity to escape.
"However..."
"Even if he’s not dead, he’s severely wounded."
"And seriously so."
"It’ll take him at least a year to recover."
Hawk thought of Namor, who had dodged his full blow in the nick of ti but was still spat blood under the impact of most of the power, and his lips curved slightly.
Don’t forget, he is currently manifesting the power of his Sixth Sense Silver Little Cosmos at all tis.
Even without wearing the Holy Armor, each of his punches and kicks carries a strand of Phoenix Force.
Phoenix belongs to fire.
Namor belongs to water.
Water and fire are incompatible.
Even if Namor is the King of the Sea, what of it? If he could control his Power of the Ocean without relying on the Trident, he might recover in ten days to half a month.
But the current King Namor is like Thor is written as Hamr God, a trident god.
So, Namor won’t recover for at least a year, and during this year, he will constantly suffer the burning of the Phoenix Fire Hawk had infused into him.
This is also why Hawk wasn’t angry at all when he discovered Namor had escaped.
Hearing this, Sharon looked at Hawk with a serious expression.
"We will closely monitor this guy, and once he appears, I’ll inform you imdiately."
"Don’t worry, if I say he won’t co out in a year, he won’t co out in a year, don’t be so nervous."
Seeing Sharon more nervous than himself, Hawk laughed heartily, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Sharon.
"By the way."
"There’s also a vibranium ore vein in Talokan, and they have a special herb, the first Talokan people gained the ability to breathe underwater after eating this herb."
"If the Five Good n are interested, they can go look for it."
"If you find it, let know, just like in Wakanda, I’ll clear the way for you."
