Chapter 595: Chapter 563: Hawk and White Hawke (Second Update)

Rumble!

As Wanda finished her sentence with a smile to Hawk, the rumbling sound of helicopters echoed in the distance.

It felt like an army was approaching.

Hawk looked up to the sky.

In sight!

At first glance, it looked very similar to S.H.I.E.L.D.’s, but the symbols were totally different. An aerospace carrier emerged from stealth mode, suspended high in the sky.

The rumbling sound was coming from a helicopter taking off from the aerospace carrier, rapidly diving toward them.

Quickly.

The helicopter landed on the charred forest ground in the distance, and shortly after, an adept-looking African-American woman and a gentle-faced Asian man stepped out, bent over, and quickly approached Wanda and Hawk.

Then—

Their eyes briefly flashed over Hawk’s now bare upper body without any surprise, and instead, their gaze settled on Wanda.

The African-American woman, Monica Rambeau, daughter of S.W.O.R.D.’s founding director Maria Rambeau and also known as "Spectrum," spoke first.

"Wanda."

"Monica."

Seeing a person who barely counts as an old acquaintance, Wanda looked at Monica and spoke calmly, "Did you come because I destroyed S.W.O.R.D.?"

Monica chuckled, shook her head, and said, "No, in fact, since West View Town, the agency has been looking for an opportunity to return Hawk’s body to you."

Wanda listened to this and smiled.

"But you didn’t return it to me until I took action."

"You are very unstable, and the agency is very concerned about you."

Monica Rambeau spoke as she glanced at Hawk once again and then turned to Wanda, "In fact, the agency is very concerned about you, now even more so after you attacked S.W.O.R.D."

Especially after Wanda’s brazen attack on S.W.O.R.D., the concern grew even stronger.

After all, the events at West View Town had long passed, and since then, Wanda had vanished without a trace, no matter how hard S.W.O.R.D. searched.

Whether it was S.H.I.E.L.D. or S.W.O.R.D., whenever their leaders were African-American, they seemed to have a peculiar, almost pathological desire for control.

In short.

They knew they couldn’t control Wanda, yet they still wanted to confirm her whereabouts and somehow make Wanda serve them.

At first, they kept Hawk’s body with such an intention.

But more importantly, it served as a form of leverage.

To put it simply.

They held onto Hawk’s body to restrain Wanda.

This is why they constantly considered returning Hawk’s body to Wanda, but never passed the resolution to do so.

Once again, it doesn’t matter in which world; humans, especially Western humans, always love to control forces they can’t possibly handle.

Even if they know the consequences are beyond what they can handle, they still choose to give it a try.

Very strange.

Maybe...

That’s what Westerners call the spirit of adventure.

And then there was nothing more.

Wanda descended from the sky, destroyed S.W.O.R.D., and retrieved her husband’s body from their secret storage.

The action was swift and efficient, without any redundancy.

Wanda’s rapid actions alarmed the upper echelons of the Federation, which is why Monica Rambeau appeared here.

Because some people needed Monica Rambeau to help confirm Wanda’s intentions and whether there was a need to execute the cleansing plan.

Right now?

As they came over, Monica Rambeau was also pondering this question, but now, after seeing Hawk standing silently beside Wanda since their descent, she understood what Wanda was doing.

Wanda was indulging in the past again.

Monica Rambeau’s peripheral vision locked onto Hawk, then looked at Wanda, who had become an enemy and also a friend since the West View Town incident, her tone carrying a hint of persuasion, "Wanda, he’s already gone. You don’t need to dwell on the past."

Wanda listened to this, raised her eyebrows, subconsciously glanced at Hawk next to her, then refocused on Monica Rambeau.

"The past cannot be pursued."

"Compared to the past, I value the future more now."

"..."

Beside her, Hawk listened to Wanda’s words, which sounded very familiar as if he had just said them himself, realizing why Wanda glanced at him just now.

But he said nothing and instead returned his gaze to the aerospace carrier suspended high above.

Compared to the two people in front of him, Hawk was more curious about what seemed to contain a part of himself hidden on the aerospace carrier.

He instinctively squinted, trying to discern the thing’s shape.

But...

He couldn’t see it.

This visit of Hawk’s was one of consciousness and soul, not a manifestation of his power.

Although he could use his Phoenix Power, once again, it would immediately alert the 616 Cosmos itself.

So!

Unable to see it, he directly asked.

Hawk withdrew his gaze from the aerospace carrier and looked at the African-American he wasn’t keen on interacting with, conversing with Wanda.

"What is that thing on the aerospace carrier that carries my aura?"

"What?"

Monica Rambeau looked at Hawk, who suddenly spoke, slightly taken aback, then instinctively looked at Wanda.

After all, she thought the Hawk in front of her was another one of Wanda’s creations through magic, distorting reality, so in her mind, whatever Hawk said was essentially equivalent to Wanda’s words.

Wanda, however, met Monica Rambeau’s gaze, holding Hawk’s arm, looking at Monica Rambeau.

"My husband is asking you, Monica."

"Oh, Wanda, you’re caught up in it..."

"Never mind, I’ll see for myself."

Just as Monica felt helpless and sighed over Wanda’s persistence in a false reality, Hawk, who had lost interest in continuing the conversation, interrupted.

The next moment.

A shirtless Hawk looked up, and his figure turned into a red-golden light, shooting up to the sky instantly.

Jimmy Woo, belonging to the FBI but also a cooperating agent with the S.W.O.R.D. agency, gaped at Hawk turning into a streak of light and flying skyward.

Monica Rambeau was also stunned by what she saw.

It was well known.

The products of reality distortion created by Wanda couldn’t stray far from her.

But now?

Monica Rambeau widened her eyes, looking at Wanda.

"Wanda, isn’t he just an illusion you created with chaos magic?"

"When did I say that?"

Wanda smiled, looking at the incredulous Monica Rambeau: "I’ve said it before, the past can’t be chased. Besides, my husband has returned. Why would I still be obsessed with the past?"

Hearing this, Monica’s pupils dilated, drawing a sharp breath in disbelief.

"So this Hawk..."

"Yes."

"Shit!"

Monica seemed to realize something, instinctively swore, then looked up at the aerospace carrier floating high in the sky.

The next moment.

Boom!

With a thunderous roar from high above, the floating aerospace carrier shook violently. Next, a massive hole was blasted open on the right side of the ship, and a golden-red light along with a pure white light shot out, crashing down onto the charred ground like a meteorite.

A shirtless Hawk quickly rose from the crater below, hovering about two meters above the ground, with a curious expression as he looked at the other version of himself in front of him.

Yes.

Another self, yet not himself.

Although this Hawk, whose skin was as white as if made from some kind of white metal, had his aura, Hawk was sure it wasn’t him.

And it definitely wasn’t the similar but not the same self that the Celestial God Team’s plan attempted to use to replace him.

However, Hawk quickly realized the situation with this ’self’ before him: "White Hawk?"

Wanda had mentioned this to him last night during a five-minute break.

The so-called White Hawk was a technological clone created over many years and tens of billions of US dollars by Director Tyler Hayward of the S.W.O.R.D. agency, using Hawk’s genes and technology.

Yes.

A clone, but a technological clone.

"Who are you?"

The White Hawk also hovered in mid-air, looking at Hawk, feeling a strong sense of aversion rising in his heart for some unknown reason.

As if a counterfeit had seen the authentic one.

Hawk maintained a calm expression.

"Me? I’m Hawk."

"Hawk?"

"Hawk Phoenix!"

"Impossible!"

Upon realizing this, White Hawk’s pupils contracted instantly: "You’re not Hawk, I’m Hawk."

Since White Hawk was developed by Tyler Hayward, he only obeyed Tyler Hayward’s orders.

Before this, although White Hawk had memories of this time’s Hawk, they were always sealed.

However, after the philosophical debate at ’The Inn of Happiness’ with the Hawk created by Wanda’s chaos magic in West View Town, he broke through Tyler Hayward’s memory seal, gained all the memories of this universe’s Hawk, and after declaring ’I am Hawk’, he broke through the roof and flew away.

After hiding for a while, he suddenly wanted to find Wanda.

But he also didn’t know where Wanda was, so he thought of the S.W.O.R.D. agency again.

And since the S.W.O.R.D. agency also wanted to find Wanda, and Tyler Hayward had already been judged, White Hawk wasn’t against cooperating with the S.W.O.R.D. agency to find Wanda.

Thus, the two quickly reached an understanding.

Then —

Here, he encountered the true Hawk who also claimed to be Hawk.

"How could you be Hawk?"

White Hawk murmured, then swiftly turned his eyes towards Wanda not far away: "I am Hawk, Wanda!"

Wanda didn’t glance at White Hawk, her gaze fully on Hawk.

Hawk chuckled at White Hawk’s claim, then posed a question.

"Really?"

"You say you’re me?"

"Alright."

"Tell me, where are you from."

"..."
