Palm Street No. 177A.
New York Hall.
Hawk's arrival was warmly welcomed by the Supreme Mage.
The Supreme Mage Wang enthusiastically invited Hawk and Wanda to take a seat in the lounge, and called for the guardian of New York Hall, Doctor Strange Stephen Strange, to make two cups of tea.
Yes.
The Supreme Mage is the Supreme Mage.
Doctor Strange is Doctor Strange.
After all, Doctor Strange had been extinguished for five years, and Kamar-Taj needed a leader, so Wang automatically ascended to become the new Supreme Mage.
Doctor Strange didn't have much opinion on this.
After all, he prefers to be called a doctor rather than a mage. He just has a bit of a sharp tongue with Wang, but upon seeing Hawk and Wanda arrive, he stopped bickering with Wang and followed the new Supreme Mage's instruction to go and make tea.
Once Doctor Strange left the lounge.
Hawk looked at the round-faced, somewhat enthusiastic new Supreme Mage Wang in front of him and seemed to think of something, feeling curious.
"Did The Ancient One mention me to you?"
"Yes, Mr. Phoenix."
Wang smiled warmly with his round face, nodding without concealment: "The teacher said you're a very kind person."
Hawk?
Kind?
Wanda, sitting beside him, heard this and looked at the round-faced Wang opposite her with a strange expression.
Hawk also heard it, using a half-smile, half-frown look at the round-faced Wang.
"Really, are you sure that's what The Ancient One said to you?"
"Alright then."
The round-faced Wang glanced at Wanda's strange expression and then decisively said, looking at Hawk with a playful look: "The teacher said you have a quirky temperament, powerful strength, but as long as people follow you, don't try to provoke or test you, it's fine."
Hawk laughed heartily: "I believe that."
Between Stephen Strange and Wang, who was more favored by The Ancient One?
This is not really a choice question.
Doctor Strange was selected as the successor by Emperor Vishanti.
Whereas Wang was raised by The Ancient One and considered almost like a foster son.
So...
If the previous statement was said by Doctor Strange, Hawk would believe it because The Ancient One might have said that to him.
But since the one saying it is Wang, it couldn't be what Doctor Strange would say.
Now listening to Wang quote The Ancient One verbatim, Hawk laughed and shook his head, then looked at Wang and directly stated his intention.
"Kamar-Taj should also have a connection with the multiverse's Kamar-Taj."
"..."
Wang's smile froze.
Hawk smiled.
Wanda seemed to think of something, looked at Wang with anticipation.
It's well known.
A Kang could create a multiverse-spanning 'Kang organization'.
Not to mention Kamar-Taj, which controls the Time Gemstone.
After hesitating for a moment, Wang nodded: "Kamar-Taj indeed has connections with other Kamar-Taj locations, exchanging resources as needed."
When Wanda heard this, her spirits lifted.
The next second.
Wang shifted the topic, taking a deep breath: "But Mr. Phoenix, we're not at liberty to interfere nor do we have the qualification."
Wanda frowned and instinctively asked: "Why?"
Wang glanced at Wanda, showing a touch of a bitter smile on his face: "Emperor Vishanti has forbidden us from getting involved in this matter."
This matter refers to Hawk's attempt to transcend and the Celestial God Team's attempt to stop him.
But neither Hawk nor the Celestial God Team are entities they can get involved with.
In common terms.
When two bosses fight, maybe the bosses won't get hurt, but the aftershock will kill a string of underlings.
So...
Wang looked seriously at Hawk.
"Sorry."
"No need."
Hawk smiled slightly and didn't get mad because Wang didn't want to join in, as that was never the purpose of coming here.
His purpose here wasn't to try and pull Kamar-Taj into his camp.
Of course.
If Kamar-Taj wanted to join him, he'd be happy, and after achieving his goals, he wouldn't hesitate to reward them.
However, if Kamar-Taj didn't want to, Hawk wouldn't force it.
Thinking about it, once he confirmed that Kamar-Taj indeed had intercommunication with the multiverse's Kamar-Taj, he directly stated his final purpose for coming here: "Rest assured, Wang, since Kamar-Taj doesn't want to get involved, I won't force it. I'm here primarily to use Kamar-Taj's passage to return to the universe I came from, this request shouldn't be too demanding."
Yes.
He just wants to use Kamar-Taj's multiverse passage to return to his own universe.
After all, this universe no longer welcomes him.
The most important point.
There's no reason for Hawk to stay here anymore.
In one word.
The fun is over.
Bored.
Time to go home.
Listening to Hawk's words, Wang's expression flashed with a hint of indecision.
But just then.
The energy supplier of Kamar-Taj, Emperor Vishanti, suddenly sent a message to the Supreme Mage.
"Let them go."
"Alright."
After receiving the message from Emperor Vishanti, Wang looked at Hawk and nodded: "No problem, we can help."
Hawk smiled slightly: "Thank you."
He actually didn't need to go back; he could find Dr. Pym in this universe to help create a quantum shuttle wristband.
At first, Hawk indeed thought so.
But after thinking about it, he still felt that going back to continue searching for Peter was the best choice.
Because Peter was his friend.
He trusted Peter.
Most importantly,
he also wanted to bring his sister back.
So...
After getting the result he wanted, Hawk stood up directly and shook hands with Wang, who also stood up.
"Do you need time to prepare?"
"I need to first contact the Supreme Mage of your universe, one hour."
"Sure, see you at Kamar-Taj."
"See you at Kamar-Taj."
After bidding farewell to Wang, Hawk then held the hand of Wanda, who also got up, and in an instant, they disappeared from the New York Hall's guest room.
When they returned to Palm Street No. 521A, and Anya heard that Hawk was taking her home, she excitedly ran upstairs to pack her luggage.
Although this place was also home.
But...
Wherever the brother is, that's home.
This was the true reflection of Anya's heart.
After Anya excitedly ran upstairs to pack her luggage, Wanda withdrew her gaze and looked at Hawk: "I thought you would ask Wang which universe Jean went to."
Hawk smiled slightly, looked at Wanda: "We will know after we return."
Wanda looked at the smiling Hawk and frowned slightly.
She recalled Hawk translating her dialogue with Death at that time and remembered this dialogue, trying to automatically translate the content of this dialogue between Hawk and Wang in her mind.
Hawk asked if Wang communicated with Kamar-Taj of the multiverse.
Wang said yes, but not involved in this matter.
Hawk then asked if Wang could use Kamar-Taj's passage to go home.
Wang agreed.
The passage of communication?
Wanda blinked, seemingly realizing something, subconsciously looking at Hawk.
Hawk seemed to know what Wanda wanted to ask, reached out with his right hand, placed it on his lips, and made a shushing gesture.
Wanda understood.
At this moment,
accompanied by noises coming from the stairs, Hawk and Wanda looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Anya dragging a huge suitcase, clattering down from the stairs.
Wanda looked at the huge suitcase, then looked at the time, barely two minutes passed, and couldn't help looking at Anya: "Finished packing so quickly?"
Anya beamed: "I'm action-packed, MAX!"
Hawk exposed her directly: "Don't listen to her, the day after I arrived, she started stuffing things into the suitcase."
Anya stomped her feet.
"Brother!"
"Alright, let's go."
Hawk ignored the stomping Anya, said a sentence directly, then walked to Anya, grabbing Anya with one hand and Wanda with the other.
The next second,
whew!
Teleportation.
It seemed that the suppression force of this universe on Hawk disappeared at this moment, as if knowing Hawk was planning to return, but the gaze of this universe on Hawk still existed.
He didn't care, after arriving at Kamar-Taj, Anya looked at the exotic scenery and snow scene around, thinking of taking a few photos here as a souvenir before leaving, and pulled Wanda to take pictures.
Hawk, on the other hand, followed the mage of Kamar-Taj to find Wang, the Supreme Mage who had returned to Kamar-Taj one step ahead.
At the home court of Kamar-Taj, Hawk behaved very properly.
"Supreme Mage!"
"Mr. Phoenix."
After greeting Supreme Mage Wang, Hawk looked at Wang after the guide mage left.
"Have you made contact?"
"Yes, but the Supreme Mage over there is still rummaging for a spell."
"...Stephen."
Hawk remembered that the Supreme Mage of his universe was still Doctor Strange on a makeshift basis, exchanged a glance with Wang, and smiled: "Remind him not to cast the wrong spell."
Wang laughed: "He won't, I'm here."
Hawk raised an eyebrow.
Indeed.
A fake Supreme Mage, Doctor Strange.
The real Supreme Mage, Librarian Wang.
No matter which universe as long as there is Kamar-Taj, Wang is always the most reliable.
Very soon,
Wang received the signal.
After a while,
Wanda and Anya, whose little face had become rosy, were also brought to the hall where Hawk and Wang were by the mage of Kamar-Taj.
Hawk took out a strand of his hair and a strand of Wanda's hair, then also pulled a strand from Anya's head and handed it to Wang.
After receiving the hair, Wang began to slightly close his eyes, making a spell while chanting an incantation.
Accompanied by the chanting of the spell, very soon, a spark teleportation gate appeared in front of the three.
At the same time,
right next to this spark teleportation gate, a teleportation gate, facing it, was also slowly opening.
Entering sight,
Doctor Strange Stephen Strange, wearing the Time Gemstone around his neck, appeared on the other side of the teleportation gate.
Wang's side was the signal sending.
Doctor Strange's side was the signal receiving.
Hawk sees the door home is open, hesitates not, while holding his sister's hand, while pushing her luggage.
"Let's go."
"Home!"
"..."
