Yes.
Controlling Hawk by holding Anya.
Is this probability high?
High!
From the moment Mephisto said he wanted his help to deal with Witch Heart Demon, Hawk was on alert.
He now strongly suspects that Mephisto simply added that part about his sister's soul being tainted by Heim's aura.
This was just a small trick Mephisto played to ensure he would help him deal with Witch Heart Demon.
It's the same old saying.
Demons are not to be trusted, especially a demon lord's words; it's best not to believe even a single punctuation mark.
What about him not offending a future deity for a common soul?
Heh heh.
Just listen to that; don't take it seriously.
If you take it seriously, you lose.
Not to mention that Hawk is only a deity who might become one in the future; even if he were a true deity, who has Mephisto ever feared?
This guy even dared to scheme against Galactus.
You should know that Uncle Devourer is also a cosmic entity in the Marvel Universe; a full Uncle Devourer is not afraid of the other four cosmic entities.
Although Uncle Devourer has never been full.
But...
A small glimpse reveals the whole picture.
Mephisto has even coveted the souls of cosmic entities, let alone his soul, which is not yet a true deity but has already mastered the two great divine authorities of 'Immortality' and 'Nirvana'.
Let's put it this way.
If Mephisto wasn't coveting his soul, he'd take off his head and give it to Mephisto as a urinal.
And what about him not being able to resurrect his sister without preparing a body?
Other Hell Dimension rulers might genuinely be unable to resurrect without a body, but for this Hell Dimension ruler, who is closest to 'Death', saying he can't resurrect without a body is pure nonsense.
It's the same old saying.
You can't believe a single word a demon says.
So...
"Mephisto either wants to use this matter to see if he can use my sister to control Hawk through Anya, or he wants to trick me into Texas to see if he has a chance to take my soul."
"Hiss!"
Gwen listened to Hawk's guess, couldn't help but gasp again, and then frowned, "You've already met him, and he couldn't take your soul; how can tricking you into Texas allow him to take your soul?"
Hawk said, "Texas is the closest place to the Hell Dimension."
Moreover...
Texas doesn't just have demons; it also has Ghost Rider.
Only God knows if Ghost Rider's Penance Stare would work on him.
A familiar old face of Nicolas Cage appeared in Hawk's mind.
Gwen heard this, felt a little worried, and looked at Hawk: "Then what do you plan to do?"
Hawk recovered, met Gwen's eyes, and smiled slightly.
"It's simple!"
"I'll just create my own Underworld."
An Underworld is definitely necessary.
Life and death are the fundamental authorities of any Universe.
Hawk originally planned to wait until he had a deeper understanding of the Seventh Sense and his Little Universe had completely transformed into a true Phoenix Parallel Universe before slowly proceeding.
After all, his Little Universe is still desolate, and he hasn't even touched the threshold of the Seventh Sense; it was unrealistic to talk about building his own Universe-exclusive Underworld before.
Not to mention that before his Little Universe materialized, his Little Universe didn't even have the fundamental elements to form a material World.
But...
The appearance of Witch Heart Demon and Four Elemental Demons made Hawk's heart stir.
One sentence.
What are the basic elements that make up the material World?
Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, and Aether.
Hawk already has Aether, and because of this, he already has the foundation to transform his Little Universe into a Parallel Universe.
But the four elements of Earth, Water, Wind, Fire?
The appearance of the Four Elemental Demons gave Hawk hope that he could quickly enrich his Little Universe and reach the peak of the Silver Little Universe as quickly as possible.
"If I can devour these Four Elemental Demons."
"Plus the Reality Stone."
"The stars of my Little Universe will grow exponentially!"
"And... it's not impossible to build the Underworld belonging to my Phoenix Universe in advance."
"Moreover..."
"Once I also master the laws of life and death, even if I now master the Eighth Sense of walking between life and death, I can still go to Hell."
"The most important point!"
"The Underworld Robe..."
"It doesn't require that many complex materials."
"So!"
"Mephisto, you'd better not have any other ulterior motives."
Thoughts churned in Hawk's mind.
The next day.
Hawk bought a plane ticket to Texas, then hugged Gwen, and boarded the flight to Texas.
He had originally thought about flying directly to Texas by breaking through the atmosphere.
But...
Hawk was a little unwilling to give up.
He still wanted to make a final struggle to see if he truly had some special constitution that prevented him from taking transportation out of New York City.
Hawk wanted to try one last time.
If this trip still had problems, then there was nothing to say; if he left New York City again in the future, he would just fly himself obediently.
Then, shortly after he had just sat down in his seat, as he was looking out the window at the scenery, a somewhat surprised and amazed voice came from beside him.
"Hawk?"
"...Sharon?"
Hawk came back to his senses, looking at Sharon, who had sat down in the seat next to him, her face full of surprise as she looked at him, and he was also slightly stunned.
"You're here for..."
"Texas, vacation, and you?"
Sharon looked around, confirmed no one was paying attention, and whispered, "Why don't you just fly over?"
She was a little curious; with Hawk's speed, who went to Mars to fight Thunder God Thor every week, flying to Texas himself would be much faster than taking a plane.
And it wouldn't cost money.
Of course, Hawk couldn't tell Sharon that he was trying to verify his special constitution; his thoughts raced, and he smiled: "It's a holiday, I thought I wouldn't bother you, lest you come knocking on my door tomorrow, but I didn't expect to see you again."
Sharon blinked.
She believed this explanation because she had no doubt that if Hawk had flown to Texas with a whoosh today, she would definitely have been called in again to ask Hawk what he was doing.
So...
Sharon nodded to Hawk with a serious expression.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Hawk said with a smile, then asked curiously, "By the way, are you only taking your vacation this late?"
Sharon's tone was calm.
"My vacation was approved before the holiday."
"Then..."
"That day when I went to your house to pick up Carrie, I went directly from the airport."
"..."
Hawk was stunned for a moment, then met Sharon's somewhat resentful gaze and shook his head: "Alright, I'm sorry."
Sharon heard Hawk's apology, and the slight resentment in her heart instantly disappeared.
After all, even though she couldn't go to Texas for vacation immediately that day.
But there's a give and take.
Regardless of whether Carrie was entrusted to them by Hawk or not, a Witch with dimensional potential was brought back by her, so she also received a reward from the bureau.
Level +1, plus 10 days of compensatory leave.
If you calculate carefully.
Clearly, she gained from it.
Sharon smiled slightly, then started talking about Carrie's recent situation.
In a word.
Carrie has been doing very well these days; the S.H.I.E.L.D. Witch consultant was very happy to take Carrie in after learning she was a Salem Witch.
"By the way, when I went to see Carrie a few days ago, Carrie also asked if I could bring her to your place to thank you and Gwen once she finished her first stage of learning."
"Really?"
"Yes, I was thinking of asking you about it next time I had a chance to see you."
"Of course you can."
Hawk was also happy to hear about Carrie's recent situation.
It's the same old saying.
The Hell Witch entrusted Carrie to him; he might not be able to provide long-term after-sales service, but he should at least guarantee one year of after-sales service.
Soon.
The plane took off smoothly without any problems, soaring into the sky, ascending professionally above the clouds, and then steadily heading towards Texas.
After the plane took off, Hawk kept his five senses fully open until the plane finally entered Texas territory, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Very good.
It seems that even if danger occurs this time, it won't happen during the flight.
It should be after getting off the plane then.
Hawk thought to himself while continuing to chat with Sharon, who was sitting next to him.
Suddenly, he heard Sharon mention something about a motorcycle stunt show, and his heart stirred.
"What stunt show?"
"This."
Sharon pulled out a promotional brochure for Johnny Blaze's motorcycle stunt show from her backpack and handed it to Hawk, casually recommending: "This is the hottest show in Texas, Johnny Blaze, his motorcycle stunts are even more amazing; I specifically went to Texas to see this show this time."
Hawk took the brochure Sharon handed him.
Immediately visible.
The first thing that caught his eye was Nicolas Cage's unforgettable old face.
Hmm.
Confirmed the appearance, it's Ghost Rider, no doubt.
Hawk thought to himself, handing the brochure back to Sharon: "Really, if I have time, I'll go check it out then."
Sharon took back the brochure, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "By the way, Hawk, this time you're going to Texas, is it..."
Hawk smiled slightly.
Just as he was about to speak, the plane, which had already begun its descent, suddenly paused sharply.
In an instant, various exclamations filled the cabin.
Hawk's heart also tightened involuntarily.
The next second.
He opened all five senses, instantly covering every corner of the cabin in the blink of an eye, beginning to investigate for potential dangers.
Sharon was initially startled, but after the plane stabilized, she looked at Hawk's serious expression and, thinking he wasn't used to flying, said with a smile, "Hawk, relax, it's just turbulence; it's common if you fly frequently."
Hawk listened to Sharon's words, thinking of the peculiar energy fluctuations he had sensed outside the plane's fuselage with his five senses just now, looked at Sharon, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward.
"Are you sure?"
"..."
