Marvel: I Awake the Little Cosmos-Chapter 559 - 527: Farewell, Mephisto (Second Update!!)
What is regret?
It’s something you once had, but suddenly vanished from your world.
But—
Regret is definitely not something you seek but cannot obtain!
After endless cycles of recent regrets, Hawk tried countless methods and made countless efforts, but the final result remained unchanged.
He had absolutely no way, as an ordinary person at the time, to save his sister from the rubble before the ceiling fell.
What does this prove!
Hawk’s choice at the time was wise.
Still the same phrase.
To knowingly attempt the impossible is never the behavior of a warrior, but that of a reckless fool.
So—
When Hawk tried every possible means and found them to be useless, he completely let go.
With no regrets in his heart, naturally, this world of regret could no longer trap him. When his thoughts became clear, this world of regret also met its complete collapse.
The buildings turned to dust.
The fleeing crowds also turned to ash.
Even Anya, who was buried in the ruins in the world of regret, under Hawk’s gaze, turned to ash along with the crumbling buildings.
At this moment, Hawk had no regrets in his heart, nor in his eyes.
Though his gaze was tired, his eyes were calm.
As tranquil as still water.
The sky also collapsed at this moment, revealing the eternal sky of Hell Dimension, where endless ashes drifted.
Even the air began to fill with the endless, unique sulfur smell of Hell.
Clearly.
This time, Hawk, relying on his own power, walked out from the prison of regret in the Hell Dimension.
Mephisto watched this scene, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he wasn’t overly panic-stricken because Hawk walked out of his prison of regret.
After all—
Hawk lost.
He won.
Having exhausted his Power Of The Soul to let go of his regrets, Hawk no longer had any strength to resist his invasion of Hell.
In short.
He was determined to claim Hawk’s soul.
But—
Just as Mephisto was thinking this way, Hawk, who was just sitting on the sulfurous ground of Hell, suddenly raised his eyes to look at Mephisto.
"Do you know why I came to Hell?"
"This is not your Cosmos, your Netherworld cannot reflect here."
"Ha."
Hawk smiled brightly, looking at Mephisto: "My power has long been cast into this Cosmos, if you don’t believe it, look up."
Upon hearing this, Mephisto instinctively looked up.
In his sight!
Clang!
The Phoenix sang in the sky, its call resounding!
A phantom of the Fire Phoenix, bathed in golden-red flames, projected onto the sky of the Hell Dimension, spreading its wings burning with Phoenix Fire and singing loudly.
Seeing this, Mephisto’s face changed immediately, looking at Hawk.
"Your power has been here long ago, but you didn’t use it?"
"Yes."
"So you are an ordinary person now?"
"The body is still a divine body, but indeed, I came to you as an ordinary person."
"Why?"
Mephisto instinctively asked.
Hawk grinned: "To pay for the shortcuts of the past."
Indeed, cheating is unacceptable.
What you get through your own strength is truly yours; things obtained through cheating will eventually have to be repaid.
Hawk now deeply understands this.
But Mephisto was utterly panicked.
He stared intently at Hawk: "This is impossible, if you came here as an ordinary person, how could your soul burn so many times?"
Hawk tilted his head, looking at Mephisto.
"Did I ever say it was my own soul that burned?"
"What?"
Hearing this, Mephisto seemed to realize something, instinctively looking into the depths of the Power Of The Soul he had absorbed during Hawk’s endless soul-burning cycle.
Nothing much to say here.
One look!
Mephisto’s face drastically changed.
Looking at this scene, Hawk spoke with a bright smile.
"Old Mo, it’s time for revival."
"Boom!"
As Hawk’s words fell, Mephisto in front of him started convulsing uncontrollably like a malfunctioning robot.
Endless black mist pervaded from Mephisto’s body.
Along with creepy laughter.
But listening to this familiar creepy laughter, Hawk’s face revealed a tinge of nostalgia and reminiscence.
Mephisto twisted his body and screamed.
"No!"
"This is my Hell, not yours."
"Get out!"
"Get out of my body..."
"Ah!"
Mephisto screamed and roared, but suddenly, his body seemed to freeze, and he stood there dumbfounded.
Then, an anomaly occurred in the Hell Dimension.
Hawk looked in the direction of the anomaly.
In sight.
The palace Mephisto had built for himself here began to collapse, but in the blink of an eye, a new and more familiar palace for Hawk rose from the ruins.
This palace was the one Mephisto had built for himself in the Hell Dimension of Hawk’s own universe.
Just as Hawk gazed at the familiar hellish palace, a clear moan suddenly sounded from right in front of him.
Hawk snapped back to reality and looked at the Mephisto who had just stood before him like a glitch.
In front of him, Mephisto raised his neck, exaggeratedly breathing in the air here, and his face was wild with madness: "Your body, no, now it’s mine."
Listening to that familiar tone, Hawk couldn’t help but laugh. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Congratulations, Old Mo."
"Hawk!"
The Mephisto in front of him snapped back to reality, looked at Hawk, and his wild expression eased into a puzzled one: "Why?"
Hawk raised an eyebrow.
"Why what?"
"I’ve backstabbed you many times, why didn’t you completely kill me in the World Tree Cosmos."
"I did completely wipe you out."
Hawk’s tone was calm.
Mephisto’s memory stayed at the time he last backstabbed Hawk in the World Tree, remembering only being smashed by Hawk and having his soul taken away.
No memory of Hawk completely annihilating his soul.
The reason for this is simple.
Wanda!
Yes.
Don’t forget, Wanda exists at every point in Hawk’s timeline, and whenever Hawk is in danger, Wanda will surely be there.
Although Mephisto’s backstabbing was also part of his performance.
But it’s undeniable, that it did count as a dangerous timeline.
What if Hawk messed up?
So when Hawk was about to annihilate Mephisto, Wanda appeared, just when he was about to crush Mephisto’s soul into dust.
Wanda told him she appreciated Mephisto and that keeping Mephisto’s soul nearby might lead to unexpected gains.
At the time, Hawk didn’t know how Wanda came before him.
But he chose to trust Wanda.
Not because it was Wanda who said it, but because it was said by the mother of his child.
And the new memory emerged in Hawk’s mind when he arrived at this Hell Dimension.
And the soul of the Mephisto he had clearly wiped out, was now intact in his consciousness space.
Hawk instantly understood.
In this Hell Dimension, Mephisto wanted the Power Of The Soul, so give it to him.
His soul couldn’t be given, but Mephisto’s soul could be given to him; however, absorbing the soul of Mephisto from his universe, would this universe’s Mephisto still remain himself? That, he couldn’t guarantee.
This universe’s Mephisto wasn’t lying.
He was indeed different from the Mephisto of Hawk’s universe.
He wasn’t as cunning as Hawk’s universe’s Mephisto.
There you go!
Mephisto from Hawk’s universe, once wiped out by Hawk, occupied this universe’s different entity as a rebirth, without breaking Hawk’s sacred timeline.
Mephisto listened to Hawk’s words, paused briefly, seeming to understand something.
"So I can’t go back to that universe?"
"Yes."
Hawk smiled and nodded: "That’s why I admire you, Old Mo. You’re fickle and shameless, but you are indeed clever."
Mephisto laughed aloud: "I’ll take that as a compliment. Not returning is fine. I prefer here to that universe."
Hawk was a bit curious.
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Having fully absorbed this universe’s entity of himself, Mephisto was gleeful: "What a joke, a low-tier universe. To you, it may be low-tier, but to me, it’s Heaven. Here, there are no Supreme Gods, no Odin, and on Earth, there are no annoying Kamar-Taj. If it weren’t for identity constraints, I’d sing praises to God."
Speaking of which, Mephisto seemed to think of something and his expression paused, subconsciously looking at Hawk: "By the way, you’ll be leaving here, right?"
Watching the nervous and expectant expression on Mephisto’s face, Hawk couldn’t help but laugh and then nodded under Mephisto’s gaze.
"Yes, I will leave."
"That’s good."
Having received Hawk’s confirmation, Mephisto visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Again.
To Hawk, perhaps here represents a low-tier universe.
But to Mephisto, this place is entirely Heaven.
A word.
When the mountain has no tigers, monkeys reign supreme.
In this universe, there are neither Creator Gods nor Main Gods, nor even on Earth, a force that could suppress him or a certain woman with superior magic.
Thus—
How could he not love such a universe?
Watching Mephisto’s undisguised joy, Hawk was a bit curious.
"You don’t want to become a real god? Staying in this universe, you won’t become a god?"
"You’re kidding, in this universe, why would I want to become a god? That’s too tiring."
"..."
