It is widely known.
Hawk’s current descent is not his true form.
His true form remains in the Main Cosmos, and his presence here is rely a tactic to pinpoint the enemy’s location.
And right now—
The enemy has erged, and their position is exposed.
In that case!
The true form should descend!
At the mont Wanda finished speaking to Sella, the imposter bearing Hawk’s face, a brilliant light erupted beyond Earth.
In the next mont.
As Sella was about to reach for the suspected soul of Hawk, the light surged, rising skyward, straight to the Phoenix Nebula Cluster billions of light years away.
Boom!
The light initially entering the Phoenix Nebula Cluster was just a tiny, imperceptible spark, but like a spark falling into a cauldron of oil.
Originally suppressed by this Cosmos to prevent Hawk from probing the reality here using the local Phoenix, the Phoenix Nebula Cluster’s dimness vanished once Hawk ignited it with his soul as the dium.
The Phoenix Nebula Cluster’s dimness lasted only for a mont.
Then—
The darkness seed to collapse, but rapidly expanded, as if at this mont, the Phoenix Nebula Cluster revived, taking a deep breath and then exhaling an entire golden-red Cosmos.
In the next mont.
The golden-red light streaked from billions of light years away, reaching the Milky Way Galaxy in the blink of an eye, then the golden-red torrent like a breached galaxy enveloped Earth with the remnant warmth and thunder from the birth of the Phoenix Nebula.
The first to appear was the Phoenix.
Entirely golden-red, with dual pupils, the Phoenix bathed in endless flas appeared on Earth, raised its eyes, and looked with those endlessly indifferent dual pupils at the analyst Nizerel, while spreading its wings.
At the mont the Phoenix spread its wings, a silhouette erged within the flas cascading like a waterfall from the Phoenix wings.
Then.
A towering silhouette began to sculpt itself within the endless flas washed by the Phoenix Wings.
Ancient lines more enduring than mountains.
The forehead crystal absorbed endless Phoenix Fire, transforming into boiling golden-red light energy.
The golden and red armor solidified from the void.
In the next mont.
As the projected Fire Phoenix above Earth turned around, it flew behind the erging Hawk, then retracted its wings, completely rging itself into Hawk’s silhouette.
And then—
Flap once more!
Chirp!
The Phoenix sang in the heavens, its call resounding.
The explosive golden-red flas from Hawk’s silhouette burst forth, then transford into Phoenix Battle Armor above the increasingly distinct silhouette of Hawk, splitting and swiftly enveloping Hawk within the endless flas.
Bang!
The first piece, the shoulder guard, adorned with magnificent feather patterns, covered Hawk’s right shoulder within the roaring flas, accompanied by a thunderous tallic clash like cosmic stars colliding, seamlessly embedded and fused, then the left shoulder component followed suit symtrically and solemnly, as golden light spilled across the shoulders.
Then arm guards, leg guards, shin guards...
Countless parts sparkling with golden-red light shot out from the vortex ford by the Phoenix Fire like they possessed life!
They struck and locked onto every part of Hawk’s body with precision and grace, and each clash of the Battle Armor parts seed to wield the heaviest hamr, imprinting the deity’s will onto this indomitable form.
Indeed, that was the case.
With the installation of the Battle Armor parts, Hawk’s silhouette grew distinct within the golden-red light.
A pair of enormous, unmatched phoenix wing illusions composed of pure golden-red energy exploded behind Hawk.
Finally ca the face guard, equally shining with golden-red light, snapping seamlessly over Hawk’s stern visage.
With the final face guard, the silhouette fully descended, Hawk opened his eyes.
In the next mont.
Hawk, with eyes open, looked up at the analyst Nizerel, though expressionless, its mood clearly shifted from ’sche succeeded’ to ’incredible disbelief’ and finally ’fearful panic’, even wanting to flee.
"Thinking of running now?"
"Too late."
"I took one of your moves; it’s your turn now, Nizerel!"
"This move, if you don’t die, I will let you live!"
"Phoenix—"
"Light Speed Fist!"
Hawk’s voice was calm, tinged with a deity’s unique indifference, then he swung a punch at the analyst Nizerel, whose upper half already covered most of Earth.
To call it a punch is to call it light.
More accurately, it’s the Phoenix born within the light.
It is widely known.
Within seven steps, fists speed.
Within the Cosmos, light speeds.
Analyst Nizerel watched the Fire Phoenix nearly at its face just as Hawk finished speaking, outwardly indifferent, yet inwardly panicked, thinking only of fleeing, yet unable to do so, forced into frantically enduring the strike.
The result—
Without even a chance to counterattack, Hawk’s Phoenix Light Speed Fist landed dead center on its imnse head capable of shifting planets.
No sound.
Because the Cosmos forbids sound propagation, yet visibly the shockwave with the fist’s impact point as its center, noiselessly spreads as a sphere.
Behind analyst Nizerel’s head, the distant Nebula was violently torn apart by this force into a vacuum corridor spanning several light years.
But the head itself did not explode; instead, it emitted an endless golden-red light from within, and cracks spread across the entire head like a spiderweb. Then, it was the neck, the torso...
Finally!
Bang!
The analyzer Nizerel shattered like porcelain dropped on the ground, disintegrating into countless fragnts that could no longer be pieced together, scattered endlessly across the starry sky.
"What a pity!"
"I gave you a chance, but you were useless."
Hawk, clad in the Golden Phoenix Holy Armor, looked at Nizerel, who had turned into fragnts under his most ordinary attack, and said with a rather disinterested tone. Then, he turned his gaze onto the imposter Sella, who wore his face with a completely dazed expression.
"You have no backup plan."
"But I did. You shouldn’t have killed ."
If just now, analyzer Nizerel hadn’t smashed him with a punch, he would still need so preparation ti to bring his real body here.
As it turned out—
Nizerel exploded him with a punch, and in the cosmos, for a brief mont, Hawk even began to wonder if Nizerel was his ally.
After all, killing him on Earth, even if he wanted to illuminate the Phoenix Nebula here, would be sowhat difficult.
But blasting him in the cosmos here was akin to directly sending him ho.
Sella realized this under Hawk’s serene voice.
The next second.
He turned around and tried to escape.
Once again.
Thinking of running now is too late, isn’t it?
Hawk watched as Sella turned to flee, as if resolved about sothing, snorted with a laugh, and pointed his right hand at the fleeing Sella.
"Phoenix Illusion Demon Fist!"
"Boom!"
A bizarre black light overtook and slamd into Sella, who exposed his back to Hawk, instantly freezing his figure in midair, motionless.
Hawk then looked up, twin pupils gazing into the depths of the cosmos, targeting his third enemy here in this cosmos: "You bet and lost, and now you’re begging for rcy, what does that an?"
Yes.
Just as he shattered Nizerel with a punch and eyed Sella, the third enemy, the cosmos itself, sent an anxious signal pleading for rcy.
But—
You know to beg for rcy now, where was this earlier?
"When you stripped the ability of the Infinity Gemstones, your actions were swift, your expression indifferent."
"As if I were an ant."
"What now?"
"Now the tables have turned, and you act like this?"
"You are, after all, the essence of the cosmos."
"So, collect yourself, don’t lose composure."
"Admit your mistakes, stand at attention when hit."
"You tried to help them replace , now it’s my turn to replace you, so I’ll give you a chance."
"Take your own life."
"Don’t wait for to find you; consider this as my rcy to you."
"No other choice."
"It’s because my wife always persuades to try being a good person."
Hawk said, then turned his gaze to Wanda nearby.
This elicited a series of eye rolls from Wanda.
From when Hawk was blasted by Nizerel’s punch to when the real Hawk arrived, everything happened in a flash.
So—
This blink-of-an-eye change left the Avengers feeling caught off guard.
"This..."
"It’s over just like that?"
"What else then?"
Listening through the earpiece to Natasha’s sowhat incredulous voice, Wanda chuckled, "Others can say that, I understand, but Natasha, you should know better."
Sitting in the Quinjet, keeping it hovering, Natasha’s hands left the controls. Hearing this, she seed to recall sothing and couldn’t help but laugh, "Sorry, I shouldn’t have doubted it."
anwhile.
Hawk also turned his head, looking at Natasha in the Quinjet, with a slight smile, "Yes, you shouldn’t have doubted ."
After speaking,
Hawk went straight to Wanda’s side, removing his helt, and looked at Wanda with a sowhat peculiar expression, "When did I ask you to deliver a ssage?"
Clearly, what he told Wanda was, don’t worry after I’m obliterated, that he would co back again.
But Wanda turned that into delivering a ssage to Sella.
Wanda turned her head, smiling at Hawk.
"You should ask yourself that."
"Ask ?"
"After all, it’s what you said the first ti we t."
"I..."
Listening to these words, Hawk paused slightly, then recalled his past life’s mories, and couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile.
