Marvel: I Awake the Little Cosmos-Chapter 572 - 540: Hawk Becomes a Lone Wolf

Endless Cosmos.

Vast Sea of Stars.

The Cosmos is still that Cosmos, but now it’s a brand new, limitless future Cosmos.

Similarly!

Earth is still that Earth, but it’s no longer the Earth it once was.

However, one thing remains the same.

And that is——

Mutants and humans still coexist on this blue planet, and the two will never live in peace.

Because!

"You can’t grow bright flowers in a greenhouse."

Professor X pondered this sentence, turned his head to look at the scattered mutants on the lawn of the X Academy, and then returned his gaze to Hawk, who was admiring the swan by the lake at X Academy: "So, the peaceful coexistence I pursue will never come?"

Throughout his life, he pursued human and mutant peace, hoping humans would stop hating mutants, and mutants would stop hating humans.

Professor X has been committed to this.

He believed that through his efforts, one day he would achieve this goal.

But the result told him it was never achievable.

To be precise, it’s beyond human capability.

Because what opposes mutants and humans is not themselves, but a higher will.

The Cosmos needs evolution, so it must see the opposition between mutants and humans.

This...

Professor X was at a loss for words, even after returning from the Cosmos, he couldn’t describe his feelings about this matter until now.

Hawk, hearing this, withdrew his gaze from the elegant swan in the lake, looked at Professor X, and smiled slightly: "Yes, opposition, but just fighting, it doesn’t break, fighting but not breaking, maybe you can try pushing your mutant peace bill."

Professor X instinctively looked at Hawk.

Jean, standing beside him, looked at Professor X: "Professor, humans also fight among themselves, it’s inevitable, similarly, in the future mutant and human conflicts will happen within this framework, and an apocalypse crisis will never appear again."

This was what her mother decided upon seeing her, temporarily changing the idea and letting The Ancient One, the God of Time, weave the timeline according to this framework.

Future mutant and human conflicts will still exist, but an apocalypse crisis caused by their struggles will never appear again.

At least on this timeline woven by The Ancient One, there won’t be another story of Wolverine reversing time.

Even if he wanted to reverse time, it would be impossible.

The reason is simple.

Order God Tiyaam is watching the timeline, and the second Wolverine enters the timeline, Tiyaam will arrest him for attempting to disrupt the timeline’s fate.

Professor X listened to Jean’s explanation, nodded thoughtfully, then smiled with relief: "Right, there’s always conflict where there are people, that’s inevitable, but I’ll still try my best to achieve peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans."

Jean had no doubt about Professor X’s words.

After her father Hawk’s deep analysis of Professor X, Jean understood that Professor X doesn’t stand on the side of humans or mutants.

Professor X has always been an idealist.

Though she understood Professor X, Jean didn’t intend to be as she was before.

Because her father Hawk also said something.

For idealists, while we respect them, we should stay far away, because these kinds of people for the sake of their ideals, neither value their lives nor anyone else’s.

So——

Jean’s look at Professor X was no longer passionate, but not cold either, it was calm: "Professor, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Jean!"

Professor X in his wheelchair, met Jean’s gaze, and spoke calmly.

Jean then turned back to her parents’ side.

Wanda glanced at the distant mutant with an eyepatch, then turned to Jean approaching her: "Aren’t you going to say hello to them?"

When this Cosmos reset, Hawk didn’t only prevent Professor X from being destroyed; the surviving X-Men were also excluded from this reset.

Like Storm, Cyclops, among others.

Listening to Wanda, Jean shook her head.

"Forget it, mom, it’s unnecessary."

"Really, then don’t regret it."

"..."

Hearing the tease in Wanda’s words, Jean couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Wanda: "If I wanted to, would you agree?"

Wanda shrugged: "I support any decision you make, but your dad, I don’t know."

Saying this, Wanda shifted her gaze towards Hawk.

Jean also couldn’t help but look at Hawk.

Hawk was startled, just about to say something, then shook his head and smiled: "Don’t look at me, in terms of your education and management, your mom has already taken away my authority, so for your affairs, just ask your mom, not me. Our family follows a matriarchal system, not patriarchal."

The Saint Warriors don’t fall into the same trap twice.

Hawk wouldn’t be fooled by Wanda a second time.

The most crucial point.

He just didn’t believe Wanda would let their daughter be taken away by a guy whose eyes can light up.

Hawk thought so.

But...

Wanda shrugged, her expression calm: "I have no objection."

Jean was initially stunned, then her expression began to change.

At this moment.

Hawk quickly reacted and spoke up, "Wait a minute."

Jean’s expression froze, and she looked at her father, who interrupted her before she could speak, "Dad, didn’t you say it was okay as long as Mom didn’t have any objections?"

Wanda looked at Hawk with a half-smile.

Hawk coughed, explaining to his daughter, "I went to talk to your mom about something else," then pulled Wanda aside.

Wanda crossed her arms, waiting for Hawk to speak.

Facing Wanda’s half-smiling gaze, Hawk’s mind turned, and he coughed again before lowering his voice.

"What are you thinking?"

"What?"

"I mean, are you serious?"

"You just said the rights to the children’s education and management are with me, right?"

"I know."

Hawk nodded, not giving Wanda any opportunity to trap him, "I’m just having a rational discussion with you on this matter. After all, I think things like this shouldn’t be handled carelessly and should be approached with caution."

Wanda looked at Hawk, who was being very serious, and thoughtfully nodded.

"So you also think we were too careless and not cautious enough back then."

"...Damn it!"

As Hawk listened to Wanda’s words, his face turned dark. He realized he had fallen into a trap.

The next second.

Without waiting for Wanda to say another word, he looked at her with a serious and earnest expression, "You can make the decisions at home. Pretend I don’t exist."

Wanda chuckled.

"Don’t you think it needs to be approached with caution anymore?"

"No need."

"So just let our daughter be happy?"

"You’re the boss."

Hawk kept a serious look, not dwelling too much on this topic anymore.

He had no choice.

Every time he started to talk, Wanda had a killer move. How was he supposed to continue when she clearly didn’t want him involved?

So—

Forget it.

Let her handle it.

The daughter is grown up and needs to find a boyfriend. Compared to that wild Wolverine, honestly, the scholarly-looking Cyclops, if you think carefully, is actually acceptable.

Hawk comforted himself like this.

The next second.

He looked at Wanda and decisively changed the topic, shaking his head with a smile, "So, does this mean I have to go back alone?"

Since he had successfully taken over this universe, if he wanted to return to the Main Cosmos, he could only go back alone.

This is what they call plans not keeping up with changes.

Originally, he planned to go back with Wanda and their daughter after finding her.

After Wanda entered his timeline, the plan changed to him and his daughter going home together.

Because when Wanda entered his timeline, the real Wanda was already in 828, the universe where the Fantastic Four resided.

But after this universe became his, things subtly changed.

His daughter Jean couldn’t go back anymore.

To be precise, his daughter had already returned home and didn’t need to go anywhere.

After all, this universe had become part of the Phoenix Cosmos; since the daughter was already home, she didn’t need to return anywhere.

Especially since Wanda was encouraging their daughter to find a boyfriend.

"What about Billy and Tommy back home?"

Hawk thought of the two little ones in West View Town and curiously looked at Wanda, "Should I bring them to you?"

Upon hearing this, Wanda’s expression of surprise became apparent, and she looked at Hawk incredulously.

The next second.

Wanda let out a shocked ’wow’ and clicked her tongue in amazement at Hawk, "Wow, you really don’t want to take care of your sons at all."

Hawk felt a bit intimidated by Wanda’s gaze, "Didn’t you say I was stripped of the rights to educate and manage them? And besides, I’m just asking you, what you say goes."

Wanda couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

"Take good care of Billy and Tommy."

"Alright!"

"And come pick me up early."

Wanda said this and then, after thinking for a moment, shook her head at Hawk, "Never mind, you better not take care of Billy and Tommy. Just take care of yourself. I’m not comfortable with you taking care of them. My parents and Pietro are at home, just come pick me up early."

Hawk nodded upon hearing this.

"I need to deal with that escaped Celestial God Team member first." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Do you know where he went?"

"I do now."

Hawk responded, "Once I take care of him, I can have peace of mind and then go to the 828 Cosmos to bring you home!"
