In Carter Slade's graveyard.
Hawk stood quietly, sensing the aura of Hydros, the last of the four primordial elements of creation, growing closer.
And…
The owner of the strong Hell Dimension aura beside Hydros's aura.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Following a flash of black light, a man in a suit with a gloomy expression appeared at the graveyard entrance, alongside a middle-aged man whose disheveled hair was still dripping water, as if he had been drenched in a downpour.
It was Blackheart and Hydros!
Six eyes met.
The moment Blackheart's gaze fell on Hawk, his pupils constricted rapidly.
He felt a powerful aura emanating from Hawk.
"Who are you!"
"Whoosh!"
The instant Blackheart spoke, Hydros, who was standing beside him, turned and ran without any hesitation.
As if he had made a certain decision.
Unlike Blackheart, who only sensed a powerful aura from Hawk, Hydros genuinely felt the primordial power of the other three primordial elements of creation from Hawk.
The four primordial elements of creation were connected, so Hydros's perception was superior to Blackheart's.
But precisely because of this, Hydros completely panicked.
Under what circumstances would the primordial power of the other three primordial elements of creation appear on the same person?
The answer was clear.
This person had already devoured his other three brothers and obtained the primordial powers of the wind, Earth, and fire elements of creation.
And what was he doing?
He was foolishly delivering himself, fresh and ready, to his doom.
In an instant!
Hydros's speed in turning and running stunned Blackheart, who had just spoken.
Similarly—
Hawk also watched Hydros turn and run, slightly startled, then involuntarily chuckled.
The next second.
He instantly vanished from his spot.
Hydros now wished he had two more legs.
And…
Damn it.
Why was it so dry here?
Where was the Water?
Even a small puddle would be fine, damn it.
Hydros frantically ran, while looking around, trying to find even a small puddle to hide in.
Just then.
Bang!
Hydros's eyes widened as he saw the ripples in the space directly in front of him, revealing the aura of the three primordial elements of creation, then he saw Hawk suddenly appear in front of him, greatly alarmed, and subconsciously tried to stop himself.
But…
It was too late!
"Thud!"
Hawk opened his right hand, like a five-fingered mountain, and clamped it onto Hydros's head, who seemed to have willingly thrown himself into his arms.
The next second.
Just as Hydros subconsciously used his Water ability to attack Hawk, a phoenix Shadow appeared behind Hawk.
A scream, shrill and piercing, emanated from Hydros's mouth.
Ah!
Amidst Hydros's continuous screams, the primordial power of the last Water element of the four primordial elements of creation was continuously drawn into Hawk's Little Universe through the phoenix claw Shadow that seemed to merge with Hawk's right palm.
Seized in one grasp!
Refined in an instant!
And Hydros, under the phoenix claw, began to visibly wither at a speed perceptible to the naked eye, while his body also began to shrink exponentially.
In just the blink of an eye.
With a sound like a bursting Water balloon, Hydros, who was under the phoenix claw, instantly exploded, turning into a puddle of foul-smelling Water that splattered across the surrounding wasteland.
At the same time.
As the last Water element of the four primordial elements of creation was captured by Hawk's Little Universe.
In an instant.
A massive change occurred once again.
With the addition of the Water element, the sphere, which was burning red in the Little Universe, instantly cooled into a planetary core of a World.
Immediately after, countless shattered rocks surrounding this core continued to rotate and gather under the influence of the four primordial elements of creation.
But…
This required time.
Because what Hawk wanted was a World, and the birth of a World was not something that happened in a single breath.
A Dimension could, but a World could not.
Just as Blackheart and the four primordial elements of creation had planned.
Yes.
Blackheart and his group wanted a new Dimension.
Hawk wanted a new World.
After all, he had a choice, while Blackheart and his group essentially had no choice.
Although the four primordial elements of creation were crucial for forming a World, the core of a World was Aether.
Without the most essential Aether, the four elements could at most create a dimensional World, not a true World.
But Hawk had it.
Since there was a better option, why wouldn't he choose the better one?
Aether in hand, the World is mine.
Now with the four primordial elements of creation, even if he did nothing now, given enough time, his currently barren Little Universe would rapidly flourish.
As long as there was enough time.
Furthermore.
Time—
Could also be cheated.
Cheating was either never or countless times.
Hawk, who had already used the Reality Stone to cheat himself into his current Silver Saint strength, naturally wouldn't mind using the Time Stone to cheat his Little Universe, accelerating time.
He just didn't know if the Sorcerer Supreme would lend him the Time Stone.
The problem shouldn't be big.
Anyway, he was cheating his own Little Universe, not the real Universe, so with good luck, the Sorcerer Supreme should lend him the Time Stone.
Hawk thought optimistically, then took one last look at the Planet slowly forming a World in his Little Universe, and opened his eyes.
With the four elements in hand.
He only needed one more thing, and the Underworld of his planned Universe would be complete.
That was—
The law of life and death on Blackheart's body.
Hawk did not possess the law of life and death, at least not until his Little Universe was fully materialized into a parallel Universe through the Reality Stone.
But…
He didn't have it, but Blackheart did.
He would just take it!
Since he had already refined the four primordial elements of creation, refining Blackheart as well was no big deal.
At least, that's what Hawk thought.
As for Blackheart?
Never mind Blackheart.
In one sentence.
If I want to kill you, what does it have to do with you?
Most importantly, Mephisto had asked him to come and kill his rebellious son anyway.
So…
Hawk's eyes fell on the approaching Blackheart, and his lips curved into a warm, friendly smile.
"Blackheart?"
"Who are you!"
At this moment, Blackheart watched Hawk seize and instantly refine Hydros, and like a great enemy, he looked at Hawk with vigilance, saying in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you?"
Hawk did not hide it from Blackheart.
He told the truth.
"Consider me a friend of your father."
"Mephisto!"
Blackheart's expression changed instantly.
Indeed, a rebellious son.
Disrespectful, calling his father by his given name.
Hawk raised an eyebrow and said to Blackheart, "Your father came to New York City yesterday to find me, saying that if I stopped his rebellious son's plan to create a new Hell, he would return my sister's soul to me."
Blackheart was startled at first, then burst into laughter after Hawk finished speaking.
"He's lying, he's tricking you."
"Is he?"
"You don't understand him, but I do. Any soul that enters Hell is his exclusive possession; he will absolutely not let any soul go."
Blackheart's words once again confirmed Hawk's suspicions. After taking a deep breath, he said to Hawk, "But I am different. As long as you give me the four primordial elements of creation and the san venganza contract, we can work together to create a new Hell. Once the new Hell Dimension is built, I can also release your sister's soul."
Hawk's eyes flickered, as if he was swayed by Blackheart's words.
Seeing this, Blackheart felt a sense of relief and joy, and continued to badmouth Mephisto, "You got the san venganza contract from Carter Slade, didn't you? Do you know how Mephisto tricked Carter Slade back then?"
Carter Slade was a Texas Ranger back then.
His wife was seriously ill, and at that moment, Mephisto appeared and signed a soul contract with Carter Slade, curing his wife.
But just like curing Johnny Blaze's father, the very next day, his wife died in an accident.
Blackheart said in a deep voice, "Cooperating with a perfidious demon like Mephisto, believe me, you will never get what you want. What you will get is only greater suffering than before, and Mephisto will stand by, laughing loudly as you cry bitterly."
Hawk lowered his eyes in thought.
After a while.
He looked up at Blackheart, his tone somewhat skeptical: "If I cooperate with you, can you really resurrect my sister?"
Blackheart nodded solemnly: "Yes, you can trust me. And if you cooperate with me, you and I can share Hell, and together we can achieve great things. The future new Hell that will dominate Earth will be half mine, and half yours."
Once my new Hell is built, the first thing I'll do is deal with you.
Blackheart thought to himself while forcing a convincing smile at Hawk.
Hawk seemed to be swayed.
He took a deep breath.
"Alright, compared to Mephisto, I think I should trust you more. At the very least, you and I can share Hell."
"Exactly."
Blackheart responded with a bright smile.
Hawk then flipped his left hand, placing the san venganza contract on it, and walked a few steps forward, coming before Blackheart, and handed over the san venganza contract in his hand.
Blackheart's face lit up with joy, and he reached out to grab the san venganza contract.
Just then.
As the phoenix Shadow appeared, the Phoenix Bronze saint cloth, which he had re-forged some time ago for his duel with Thor on Mars, also appeared.
Crackling sounds!
The Bronze Phoenix saint cloth, which instantly disintegrated within the phoenix Shadow, covered Hawk's entire body at supersonic speed.
The moment the face mask lowered.
Hawk's right hand formed a finger, which had already touched Blackheart's glabella.
"Phoenix—"
"Illusion Demon Fist!!!"
