Marvel: I Awake the Little Cosmos-Chapter 550 - 518: Lu Mountain, Once Again
In the midst of swirling smoke and dust!
Hawk’s bare upper torso seemed to emit scorching heat waves as he emerged expressionless from the smoke behind him, looking toward the distant Sentinel Robot.
The deep blue optical pupils of the Sentinel Robot locked onto Hawk.
Its internal analysis module was rapidly deciphering Hawk.
At this moment, Hawk’s danger level in its view had dropped from initially extremely dangerous to just dangerous.
The Sentinel Robot lowered its head, then extended its right hand under Hawk’s gaze, making a fist-clenching gesture.
The air instantly exploded in its palm, producing a deafening sound.
Seeing this, Hawk chuckled.
Jean frowned.
"What’s it doing?"
"Obviously, it’s provoking your father."
By the side, Wanda acted as a competent narrator: "That thing has just adapted to your father’s power by simulating mutant abilities similar to survival of the fittest and has evolved a strength more powerful than your father’s current capacity."
Jean listened, pursing her lips, watching Hawk with concern.
At that moment.
The Sentinel Robot moved again, suddenly opening the hand tightly clenched into a fist toward Hawk, and then the air that exploded in its palm turned into invisible air blades, spinning rapidly, tearing through the air, directly attacking Hawk’s body.
"You’re tough, I’m tough too!"
"Clang clang clang!"
The continuously spinning air blades collided with Hawk’s body, creating a sound like metal clashing!
"Mutant, die!"
The mechanical voice of the Sentinel, cold with metallic undertones, loyally executed its mission. Like a small mountain, it stomped and cracked the ground at once, and as its body leaned back, its right fist swung backward, then punched toward Hawk who stood bare-chested on the ground.
And just at the moment the Sentinel’s fist was about to touch Hawk’s body!
Hawk’s back seemed to come alive.
It was as if a dragon spine opened!
His back muscles bulged like dragon scales, and his spinal column connected continuously, a force different from his Phoenix Little Cosmos but indeed present in his body erupted from deep within.
The next second!
Under the oncoming punch from the Sentinel Robot, Hawk advanced instead of retreating, stepping forward with his left foot, stamping heavily on the ground, causing the concrete surface to crumble, cracks radiating like a spider web.
He then used this reactive force to twist his waist, turning around in one smooth motion!
Roar!
A dragon’s roar resounded around Hawk, purple aura began spreading from his back, then spiraled upward like a roaming dragon.
"Rise to the clouds, Celestial Dragon!"
Hawk stretched out his right hand to the sky, the purple aura behind him reached its peak, the dragon roar echoed with Hawk’s shout, and a gigantic purple dragon soared angrily from Hawk’s body, racing to the clouds in an instant.
Thunderous rumbles!
The sky was instantly dyed purple at that moment.
"Dragon?"
His daughter Jean paused as she watched the purple dragon appear in the purple-hued sky, then roared back toward Hawk at incredible speed: "No, dad should be Phoenix, how could it be a dragon?"
Beside her, Wanda smiled slightly: "As your father would say, the dragon is the path he came from, he would never give up the dragon."
It’s well known.
Because of the Phoenix’s early bet, Hawk received generous rewards, turning his Little Cosmos into one dominated by the Phoenix.
After confirming the Phoenix as the main focus, he decisively abandoned other constellations.
But—
This did not include the Celestial Dragon Power!
He has never given up on the Celestial Dragon.
This is not Hawk being greedy, but because he never forgets that he is a descendant of the dragon.
Most importantly!
His most powerful killer move was never the Phoenix’s Phoenix Wing Flight.
But the dragon!
Its name—
"Lu Mountain—"
All of this happened in a flash, as the Celestial Dragon ascending to the clouds released an earth-shattering dragon roar to converge at Hawk’s right hand at that moment, Hawk’s right fist had already taken shape, then he punched out with one blow.
The Celestial Dragon converged into the fist shadow, fully manifesting it.
In an instant!
Where the Celestial Dragon’s punch pressed, the air was compressed by extreme power and speed, erupting with a deep purple halo, and above that glow, a seemingly lifelike purple Celestial Dragon head boldly rose, formed entirely by Hawk’s own strength and the determination from his heart, dragon whiskers flaring, issuing a silent roar, carrying the will to shatter the Lushan Waterfall, crashed head-on into the Sentinel’s swinging fist.
"Rising Dragon Dominator—!!!"
"Roar!!"
"Boom!"
The Sentinel Robot’s solid chest burst open instantly, exposing the refined circuitry within, then under the Celestial Dragon’s assault, it flew up as if propelled, its figure like a streak of light, flew out of the bounds of Quantico Military Base, then like a meteor, crashed down with a boom on the outskirts of Quantico Town, atop the hotel where Hawk once stayed for a night.
The five-meter frame of the Sentinel crushed the hotel like tofu, subsequently, a staggering shockwave swept out in all directions.
Wherever the shockwave passed, the ground was once again lifted, buildings collapsed once more, as for the soldiers in the small town and journalists who snuck in, they were like kites with broken strings blown by the gale, lifted by this unexpected shockwave, then it was unknown where they ended up being thrown.
Explosion.
The continuous explosion, with the spread of the shockwave, the small town that had not been destroyed two years ago finally met its fate this time.
In the military base.
Hawk closed his eyes, standing still.
The purple Celestial Dragon kept roaming around his back, a low dragon chant like it was communicating something continuously echoed with Hawk.
Hawk was communicating with the Celestial Dragon Power that existed from the beginning within him, soothing the dragon consciousness that seemed to protest.
Yes.
The Celestial Dragon Power has always existed within him.
How to describe it?
Let’s put it this way: Hawk has never chosen to be a player in relationships, nor is he the type to two-time anyone.
But between the Celestial Dragon Power and the Phoenix Power, he chose to be a player.
In a word.
The Phoenix Power took over his body.
But the Celestial Dragon Power has always been in his heart.
In terms of appearances, the Phoenix Power took Hawk’s body, but the Celestial Dragon Power has always been buried within Hawk’s heart.
However, ever since Hawk decided that the Phoenix would be primary, he rarely used the Celestial Dragon Power.
It’s not just because he’s afraid the Phoenix Power will get jealous; mainly, a hidden trump card truly becomes one.
But there’s both good and bad in that.
The good part is that the enemy won’t know he has hidden the Celestial Dragon Power.
The bad part is, every time the Celestial Dragon Power appears, it complains to Hawk. To put it metaphorically, it not only wants Hawk’s heart but also his body.
The Celestial Dragon Power wants to ascend.
But how can this be allowed?
Hawk has a very clear stance on this; his Little Cosmos can only be the Phoenix Cosmos, not the Celestial Dragon Cosmos or any other Cosmos.
The reason is simple.
From the start, the Phoenix Power went all-in ahead of time, so to Hawk, the Phoenix Power isn’t just a power he uses, but also his all-weather strategic partner.
As for the Celestial Dragon?
There’s no helping it; the Celestial Dragon didn’t go all-in before the Phoenix.
What?
Hawk awakened with the Phoenix, not the Dragon?
Well, that’s not up to him.
In a word.
If he doesn’t awaken, can the Dragon not come to him on its own?
So—
Faith is faith, reality is reality; sometimes, it’s better if the two don’t interfere with each other.
But thinking is one thing, saying it is another.
After Hawk painted a grand future for the Celestial Dragon Power, the purple dragon on his back gradually dimmed, and the dragon’s roar faded from near to far. Following a deep roar from his heart, Hawk, who originally had his eyes closed, slowly opened them again.
At the same time.
His daughter Jean withdrew her gaze from the continuously exploding town, her mouth agape, recalling what she just saw. Then, as she closed her mouth, she gasped and looked at Wanda: "Mom, is this what you call Dad’s strongest killing move?"
Wanda shook her head.
"No."
"What?"
"You actually saw it before, at the Hydra Base under the sea."
Wanda smiled slightly and looked at her daughter Jean, who was furrowing her brow in thought: "That time it wasn’t just one dragon, but a hundred dragons."
What was that move called?
Right!
Lushan Hundred Dragons Supremacy!
Wanda thought to herself, but she had a curiosity she’d always wanted to ask but never had the chance to.
Why Lushan?
Come to think of it, Hawk doesn’t seem to have ever been to the Eastern Country.
Wanda pondered in her heart.
Her daughter Jean also recalled scenes from the Hydra Base under the sea and was just about to say something when suddenly!
Jean’s gaze captured the massive figure that was slowly standing up again amidst the distant raging fire in Quantico Town.
"Ah, Mom, look, it’s not dead yet."
"About to die."
Wanda heard this, turned her head following Jean’s gaze, and spoke a word, then saw Hawk once again rising into the air, his figure breaking through the sky, appearing instantly over Quantico Town engulfed in flames.
Eye to eye!
Hawk quietly hovered in the air, staring down at the Sentinel Robot with a ripped chest constantly sparking with electric sparks.
The optical eyes of the Sentinel Robot fixedly stared at Hawk, data streams constantly washing over.
"Analyzing!"
"Parse template damaged!"
"Analyzing!"
"Sensor template damaged, cannot repair, cannot repair."
"Simulating mutant self-healing ability."
"Begin mod..."
"Crack!"
Before the Sentinel Robot’s program could finish, Hawk appeared in the blink of an eye in front of the chest cavity where the Sentinel Robot cracked open a huge hole. As his right hand opened, he grabbed something that shimmered with bluish light, similar to the heart of the Sentinel Robot, and tore it out.
The next moment!
Boom!
...
