"Although the Celestial God Team is called Celestial Gods."
"But we are not gods."
"We are just tools."
"Created by a true god to serve as his tools."
Tiam’s voice echoed in Hawk’s mind.
"Thus, even the most adept creator, Creator Serra, is unable to directly create a tool capable of plundering divine spirits."
"..."
Hawk listened to Tiam’s words with his eyes lowered, then pondered: "So Serra abandoned his own body and transford himself into Black Hawke?"
Tiam responded.
"Yes, this is his true plan."
"The body of the Celestial God Team has never been an enhancent for us, but rather a cage."
"Because only the human body is closest to god."
"Eternal, Death, and even the devourers who survived the end of the last cosmos, all chose human bodies for their divine entities when walking outside."
"Yet we are not without our drawbacks."
"Although we are not true gods, the Eternal has granted us ti, so we can be called spirits of ti."
"But it’s only a spirit, much like the Friday that Iron Man Tony Stark created."
"We are actually quite similar to Friday."
"Though endowed with high autonomy, we are essentially driven by set programs, possessing only intelligence without wisdom."
"Serra now wants to replace you, and inhabiting Black Hawke is just the first step; he needs to transform himself from a spirit to a soul."
"Only then does he have the qualification to replace you after killing you."
"This is also why the current Black Hawke, which is Serra, is using your face to hunt extraordinary creatures worldwide as his sustenance."
Upon hearing Tiam’s explanation, Hawk completely grasped Creator Serra’s plan.
Indeed, coming here to find this Tiam was not a mistake.
"So..."
"This Black Hawke..."
"No."
"It’s Serra."
Hawk stroked his chin: "Serra’s plan never was to create a semblance of to replace , but rather to replace himself?"
After speaking, Hawk couldn’t help but chuckle: "Well, this Creator Serra is more ambitious than I imagined."
He had indeed underestimated this Creator Serra.
If he hadn’t co here to find Tiam, he would only realize after eting the impostor Black Hawke that it’s Serra.
Even though he would eventually realize it, the outco seemingly wouldn’t change.
Yet...
It’s always better to realize this sooner.
"Ambition is good."
"But ambition without the strength isn’t ambition, it’s just being clever."
After lightly laughing, Hawk then looked at Tiam, contemplated: "One last ti, do you want to erge?"
Considering the helpful information Tiam provided, he decided to give Tiam a second chance to choose.
However...
Tiam still chose to refuse.
"Thank Main God for the kindness."
"I understand now."
Seeing this, Hawk said no more, bade farewell to Tiam, and then turned to leave Tiam’s heart space.
When he once again arrived above Skull Island, he found Wanda had already joined the Avengers living here.
Captain Arica Steve.
Iron Man Tony.
Hawkeye Barton.
Ant-Man and Wasp.
Also...
Sharon Carter.
Upon arriving here, Hawk glanced at Sharon: "I saw soone with the Carter surna in New Frankfurt."
Sharon looked at the appearing Hawk and smiled slightly: "You an Andy, at first did you think she was from the Carter family?"
Hawk shrugged.
"Indeed."
"Don’t worry, when I first heard her last na, I thought she was a relative of ours too."
"And then?"
"The Carter family did have an Andy, but that was a few hundred years ago."
"Alright."
Upon hearing this, Hawk smiled slightly and didn’t think further, then his gaze fell on a nearby device that looked like a dinsion transmission device: "Is this the Quantum Space Transmission Device?"
"Yes!"
The one who spoke was Ant-Man.
Seeing Hawk’s gaze resting on the device, Ant-Man explained: "After arriving at Skull Island, we thought of using the Quantum Realm to reach your cosmos for help."
After all, they had already realized that the Scarlet Witch and Hawk they saw now were impostors; thus, they could only seek the real Hawk and Wanda to fight.
As for the result...
Hawk listened to Ant-Man’s explanation and looked at Ant-Man: "Let guess, you guys have absolutely no way to enter the Quantum Realm?"
Ant-Man nodded, his face showing a look of lingering fear: "Yes, and we almost got lost in the disordered space."
Compared to being trapped in the Quantum Realm forever, the worst part is getting lost in disordered space.
If the Quantum Realm is the intersection of all multiverses and spaceti, then disordered space is a complete exile ground.
If you’re trapped in the Quantum Realm, the worst outco is growing old and dying there, never able to return to the normal universe.
But if trapped in disordered space, then congratulations, you will feel a fate worse than death, every second a fate worse than death.
Hawk looked at Ant-Man, who was visibly scared: "The Celestial God Team has blocked this universe, even the entrance to Hell was closed by phisto after he was promised rich rewards by the Celestial God Team."
A teenage girl who looked at Hawk with eyes resembling Tony Stark’s but with a face more like a young Pepper spoke softly: "But Aunt Natasha said you ca through the Hell Passage."
Hawk looked at the girl speaking, the smile on his face radiant.
"Yes, Morgan, I ca from Hell."
"Eh?"
Morgan appeared a bit surprised.
"You still rember ?"
"Of course, and I rember asking you to call uncle when I left, why has it beco ’you’ again?"
"Alright."
Morgan heard this, her pretty face showing a smile, and playfully stuck out her tongue: "Uncle Hawk, so how did you co by the way of Hell, did you persuade phisto?"
Hawk smiled while saying: "Consider it persuasion, because I told him if he didn’t help , I would tell his boss about his dealings with the Celestial God Team, and I’m quite familiar with his boss."
Morgan’s mouth gaped wide.
Pepper Potts, standing nearby, laughed and hugged Morgan at her side, rubbing her head: "Don’t forget, your Uncle Hawk is also a divine being."
With realization, Morgan stuck her tongue out at Hawk again.
Hawk smiled and looked at Pepper: "Pepper, you got that wrong."
Pepper looked at Hawk upon hearing this.
Hawk smiled faintly.
"The one standing before you isn’t a god."
"Uh..."
Wanda, sitting with Natasha, chuckled, looking at Pepper and explained: "He’s afraid of falling into a trap, so he didn’t co here in person."
Hawk raised his eyebrows: "Hey, what do you an by afraid, this is called tactics."
Coming in person offers no room for error.
But when descending consciousness, using a body left here for a preliminary reconnaissance, even if there’s a trap, it’s fearlessly handled.
To put it in fashionable terms, originally, he could approach smoothly and skillfully; why must it beco a situation of fear, stumbling and crawling forward?
So, it’s tactics, not fear of death.
Wanda directly rolled her eyes at Hawk, then said: "So, is your tactical plan set, can you go settle accounts with the doppelganger now?"
Hawk looked directly at Tony and Steve: "Do you know their location?"
"New York City."
"They’ve turned The Avengers headquarters into their base; the Scarlet Witch isn’t aware, but that Black Hawke is there."
"That’s not Black Hawke, but Creator Serra."
Hawk corrected Steve’s statent, then simply shared the communication he had with Tiam earlier: "So, they’re not just trying to create a look-alike of to replace , but instead they want to replace ."
Upon hearing this, Wanda frowned slightly, looking at Hawk.
"Is that more threatening to you?"
"More interesting."
"..."
Wanda noticed the smile hanging from Hawk’s lips and raised her brows again: "What are you planning to do now?"
Hawk shrugged: "The Celestial God Team has no souls, they’re rely tools, so it’s impossible to torture them after death, and since they’re just tools, even if they’re alive, I can’t vent my anger by torturing them."
This is possibly why the Celestial God Team casually ignores his murderous intent, repeatedly provoking him.
Because they don’t fear post-death retribution.
"But now it’s different."
"What’s different?"
"I plan to let him have a soul first."
Hawk’s lips curved upwards, looking at Wanda: "When Serra has his own soul, then I can suppress him in my Nether Prison, and proceed to torture him thoroughly."
Wanda listened and t Hawk’s gaze.
After a mont.
Wanda turned her gaze away, nodded slightly, and spoke with a calm voice.
"You’re really no saint."
"..."
Hawk heard Wanda’s evaluation, his mouth twitching slightly.
Just then.
Captain Arica Steve spoke sternly.
"No way!"
"What’s wrong?"
"According to Friday’s intel, they’ve seized many extraordinary creatures and are transporting them to New York City. If he gains a soul, then an unknown number of lives will perish."
"I see."
Hawk heard this, shrugged, and looked at Captain Arica: "Captain, make a choice: do you want a world ravaged or do you want the old world back?"
Captain Arica: "..."
