What kind of changes will occur when Hawk's Little Cosmos has wind?
The answer is—
Earth-shattering!
With the appearance of the Wind, one of the Four Elements of Creation, Hawk was the first to feel a sense of lightness.
This feeling of lightness was something that even the Reality Gemstone couldn't provide.
After all…
Before he awakened the Seventh Sense Golden Little Cosmos, the Reality Gemstone could only manifest the power of his Sixth Sense Silver Phoenix Little Cosmos, but it couldn't manifest his entire Little Cosmos.
Without the manifestation of a Little Cosmos, naturally, it couldn't have Natural Elements either.
But the appearance of the Wind Element changed everything.
Hawk could then sharply sense that the stars in his Little Cosmos, like carbon copies from a mold, also began to change under the erosion of the Wind Element.
Even…
The meteorites that Hawk had previously collected in his Little Cosmos started to slowly gather, trying to form a whole under the influence of the Wind Element.
But the meteorites that Anna had given him before were clearly far from enough to construct a world.
A complete material world needs not only wind but also the other three major Creation Elements: earth, fire, and water.
Hawk felt the lightness of the moment and sensed the changes happening within his Little Cosmos.
Just then.
He heard Sharon's shout from below, in the cabin.
The next second.
Hawk opened his eyes.
In sight.
The plane, which had its wings cut off by Wind Demon Ariel before his death, resembling a thick chopstick, was now nosediving towards the ground at an extreme speed.
Inside the cabin.
Passengers, tightly strapped in by seat belts, had their mouths wide open, screaming in utter despair.
With a single thought, Hawk appeared in the blink of an eye in front of the plane, right in the path it was diving towards.
In the cockpit, the pilot and co-pilot were frantically but futilely trying to save the plane.
At this moment.
They were shocked to see Hawk, floating in mid-air with a calm expression, appearing in their view.
Hawk looked at the chopstick-like plane hurtling towards him like a missile and raised his right hand.
[Sixth Sense—Telekinesis!]
It's one of the superpowers realized by a Silver Saint Warrior after awakening the Sixth Sense Little Cosmos, controlling matter or energy through thought.
For a normal Silver Saint Warrior, using telekinesis to control a large passenger plane at altitudes above ten thousand meters was an easy task.
In the Saint Warriors, the Silver Saint Warrior Sparta once used telekinesis to forcibly steer the plane carrying Seiya and others to their island.
Not to mention the Golden Saint Warriors, whose thoughts, upon awakening the Seventh Sense Little Cosmos, were strong enough to tear through space and time, transporting objects or people.
So…
Even though Hawk couldn't lift a plane like Superman, for he didn't have Superman's overpowered biological force field…
Controlling this plane with telekinesis was still very easy for him.
As Hawk raised his hand, the airplane, which had been nosediving like a missile, was instantly enveloped in telekinesis, its speed suddenly dropping and the angle of its dive gradually pulled back.
Through the airplane window, Sharon watched with wide eyes as Hawk floated in the air outside the plane, feeling a sense of relief.
Ten minutes later.
Sixty-eight kilometers east of Fort Stockton, Texas, the belly of the airplane, with its wings resembling a thick chopstick, made contact with the ground with a bang, and then came to a steady stop in the desert.
The breathing seems to have stopped for five seconds in the cabin at that moment.
Five seconds later.
The surviving passengers burst into applause, hugging the strangers around them, shouting, celebrating their escape from death.
The flight attendants also joined in the celebration but quickly reacted, opening the emergency exit door, and with a bang, the inflatable slide deployed, prompting passengers to evacuate quickly.
Soon.
Passengers, one by one, under the guidance of the flight attendants, quickly slid down the inflatable slide away from the airplane.
However, barely had they time to marvel at this miraculous landing of the wingless plane when agents in black, rushing from nearby in Chevrolet SUVs, showed their credentials and began checking their phones and all sorts of recording devices.
Sharon also arrived at the cockpit, erasing all footage the two pilots had just captured and taking the cockpit's recording device. She smiled at the two pilots: "Congratulations, your absolute professionalism saved this plane."
Upon hearing this, the two pilots exchanged a glance, and the main pilot cautiously asked Sharon: "That just now… was it the legendary Thor, the god?"
Sharon looked at the two pilots, eager to hear an answer from her, and smiled slightly: "He's the Phoenix, not Thor. As for the rest, sorry, no comment. There will be a confidentiality agreement you need to sign shortly."
Phoenix.
This was Hawk's codename within S.H.I.E.L.D.
It was a name given by Commander Maria Hill after Hawk left Africa.
Because of the Phoenix.
Phoenix, in the West, symbolizes the incarnation of eternity and rebirth, representing the cycle and immortality of life, hence it is referred to as Phoenix by Westerners.
So…
Giving Hawk the codename Phoenix was simple, straightforward, and self-explanatory.
After saying this to the two pilots, Sharon turned and left the cockpit.
Soon.
Having descended to the ground via the inflatable slide, Sharon handed the cockpit recording equipment to the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in Texas. Then, under guidance, she found Hawk, who was already seated in one of the Chevrolet SUVs.
Hawk, curious, looked at Sharon as she opened the door and got in.
"Phoenix, is that real? Who came up with it?"
"Commander Hill."
Sharon, without hesitation, disclosed her top superior, knowing that Hill hadn't ordered this codename to be kept secret from Hawk, so it wasn't breaching any confidentiality.
Hawk, upon hearing this, thought of Maria Hill, who saw his Phoenix Core on the African grassland, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Alright."
"You don't like this code name?"
"It's okay."
Hawk shrugged: "It's more imposing than being called Phoenix, so Undying Bird works too."
Sharon glanced at the airplane with broken wings not far away and the group of passengers who survived the disaster, then said to Hawk, "By the way, we owe you a lot this time, thank you."
Hawk smiled slightly: "It was nothing."
According to reason, he doesn't particularly like to deal with reality.
But this time, he always felt the reason this plane encountered such a calamity was entirely because of him.
No.
It definitely was because of him.
So he stepped in to save them, and he's already entirely determined; next time he leaves New York City, he'd rather die than take any form of transportation.
"Hawk, just now that was..."
"Wind Demon."
Hawk snapped back to reality and looked at Sharon: "It's not a demon, but rather a demon born from the consciousness of the Wind Element, and it's already dead."
Sharon nodded thoughtfully, then remembered the question she wanted to ask Hawk before the airplane incident.
"By the way, Hawk, on this trip to Texas, do you have a destination in mind? I can arrange a vehicle to take you."
"I did have one, but not anymore."
Hawk looked at Sharon and recalled the brochure she had just shown.
"By the way, where is that motocross stunt show you mentioned?"
"Right at Fort Stockton."
"Then I'll go there."
Hawk raised an eyebrow.
Anyway, he now has the Wind Element at hand, switching between offense and defense.
Looking for Witch Heart Demon?
No need for that, just wait for Witch Heart Demon to come to him.
Besides, Ghost Rider is here as well.
Just right.
He plans to see if Mephisto is really planning to play tricks on him.
If not, everyone's happy.
If he is.
Heh.
Then don't blame him.
Hawk thought to himself.
Meanwhile.
68 kilometers away in Fort Stockton.
Johnny Blaze, who is also the human form of Ghost Rider, woke up at noon from a nightmare, sweating all over, stumbled to the mirror, twisted open a bottle of mineral water, and gulped it down before looking at himself in the mirror.
These days, he's been having a recurring nightmare.
A nightmare that still fills him with regret.
Back then, he was young and foolish, watching his father in grave illness, he chose to make a deal with a demon, little did he know, the demon did not keep its promise. After healing his father, the next day, his father died in an accident.
Johnny hates that demon immensely, but he's powerless.
Because he already knows that the demon he signed the contract with is no ordinary demon, but the demon of demons, the ruler of the Hell Dimension, Hell Monarch Mephisto.
So...
He chose to leave his girlfriend, leave his hometown, in an attempt to escape Mephisto's control.
Johnny initially thought he succeeded.
But recently, the scene of signing the Soul Contract has been recurring day after day.
He can feel Mephisto seems to have found him.
And it's very close.
"Hello, Johnny!"
"..."
Faced with Nicolas Cage's seasoned face, Johnny shook all over and instinctively directed his gaze to the source of the voice.
He looked at the gentlemanly old man who appeared before him, his pupils trembling.
"You..."
"It's time to fulfill the promise."
Mephisto, with a gentlemanly smile, reminded Johnny: "You signed the Soul Contract, remember?"
Johnny clenched his fists: "You deceived me!"
Mephisto nodded gentlemanly: "Yes, I deceived you, but this time I won't lie, as long as you retrieve a person's soul for me, I will release your and your father's soul, your father has been under my care very well."
Johnny, hearing these words, trembled all over.
He looked at Mephisto.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course."
Mephisto still smiled gentlemanly: "As long as you can retrieve a person's soul for me, I promise to fulfill my promise, I can provide a written guarantee!"
Johnny: "..."
