Without hesitation, at the very moment she counted to three, her right fingertip touched the sealed ether particles.
The next second,like viscous blood, the seemingly living ether particles surged forth, almost instantly enveloping Jane's finger.
In less than a split second, a third of the ether particles flooded into Jane's body like a tidal wave.
At the same time, at the moment Jane counted to three, Hawke arrived beside her at top speed.
The instant he moved, the device sealing the ether particles began to crackle with electricity, intending to instantly obliterate this unauthorized intruder from the sealed realm.
But just as the device's arcs were about to erupt, all the ether particles in the sealed realm escaped.
With a deafening roar, the device sealing the ether particles instantly closed.
The successful escape of the sealed object naturally signified the shattering of the seal.
Instantly.
The sealing device malfunctioned, and the ether particles that escaped from the sealed area frantically tried to rush into Jane's body. Just then, Hawk appeared, pushed Jane away, and intercepted the remaining two-thirds of the ether particles.
Whoosh!
Dark red, viscous blood-like ether particles swarmed in, like living things, sweeping through every corner of Hawk's body like a surging tide.
The Reality Stone's side effect:parasitism, draining the user's life force.
The ether particles entering his body were greedily absorbing Hawk's life force.
The next moment.
Hawk opened his cosmos, and with a thought, the viscous and scorching ether particles instantly crashed into his cosmos like a tidal wave.
In an instant.
His cosmos, under the impact of this tidal wave of crimson ether particles, was like a calm lake tossed with a boulder.
After the ether particles fell into the microcosm, they spread outwards like ripples on a calm lake, reaching every corner of the microcosm.
Just then,a phoenix cry rang out.
The Phoenix Heart, which had merged with Hawke's microcosm beforehand, opened its eyes. Amidst the sweeping phoenix flames, the phoenix emerged from the fire, flapping its wings and crying out, the scorching phoenix flames instantly engulfing the entire microcosm.
The phoenix flames collided instantly with the liquefied ether particles of the Reality Stone.
"Screech—"
Accompanying the collision, a crimson flame appeared, formed by the fusion of the phoenix flames' crimson color and the ether particles' scarlet hue.
"Boom—"
With the appearance of the crimson flames, Hawke's microcosm once again witnessed a scene resembling the Big Bang.
The microcosm twisted.
The microcosm exploded.
Then—the microcosm expanded!
As the crimson flames, a fusion of the Phoenix Flame and the Aether Particles, rapidly spread, it seemed as if in the blink of an eye, his microcosm was reborn.
A vast microcosm, almost geometrically larger than before, was born.
While Hawke was immersed in this new microcosm formed by the fusion of himself, the Phoenix Heart, and the Aether Particles, in the real universe, at the center of the Phoenix Cluster, 5.8 billion light-years away from Earth, an invisible singularity, wreathed in crimson flames, was born.
It seemed that this singularity was about to explode in the next second.
If this singularity exploded, a parallel universe would be born with the Phoenix Cluster as its core.
At the same time, even in a small country on Earth, a newborn baby girl's eyes flashed with a crimson flame!
How much time had passed was unknown.
Lost in his current cosmos, which rivaled that of a Silver Saint, Hawke suddenly heard a tense, anxious, and uneasy call beside him.
Was this Gwen?
Hawke's consciousness returned instantly.
The next second, the moment he opened his eyes, he saw Gwen, her face filled with anxiety, crouching beside him, tears welling in her eyes.
Gwen stared in disbelief at Hawke, who had disappeared for over four hours and then suddenly reappeared, now with sunken eyes and skeletal features.
Hawke, too, noticed the abnormality in his body the moment he opened his eyes and raised his hand.
With a thought, his Silver Phoenix cosmos ignited instantly, and in a flash, under Gwen's gaze, Hawke, who had been shriveled as if his life force was about to be drained and whose body resembled a dried corpse, began to recover at the speed of an inflating balloon.
Good news.
He obtained the Reality Stone, albeit only a portion, but even this small part of its power transformed his previously weak Bronze Saint strength into a genuine Bronze Saint's.
Simply put,he could now unleash 100% of his current power.
The bad news:he only obtained a portion of the Reality Stone.
To truly elevate his cosmos and materialize it, he needed to collect the complete Reality Stone.
Hawke's thoughts raced as he and Gwen rose from the ground, comforting her as she nestled in his arms.
While comforting her, he looked around: "By the way, where's Jane Foster?"
He was out; Jane Foster should be out too.
Where was she?
Gwen looked up from his arms: "Dr. Foster? She arrived before you and just left."
Hearing this, Hawke raised an eyebrow at the thunder outside and pulled Gwen outside.
"How long have I been gone?"
"Four hours."
"It's alright. Didn't I tell you I'd only disappear for six hours at most? I came out early, why are you crying?"
"Do you want to see how you looked when you came out? I thought you'd been drained dry by a vampire."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Hawke apologized decisively, stopping Gwen, who seemed to have started talking non-stop and looked resentful.
Outside, it was raining heavily.
Just as Hawke and Gwen were about to walk out of the building,
Hawke suddenly had an idea.
At the moment Jane's body erupted with etheric energy not far away, he spun around and pulled Gwen into his arms.
Boom!
The energy from the etheric self-protection mechanism erupted from Jane's body, sweeping around and instantly sending the three London police officers who were trying to arrest her flying.
Seeing this, Thor rushed over, grabbed Jane, and looked up instantly.
The next moment.
A dazzling, seven-colored pillar of light, composed entirely of energy, descended from the sky, enveloping Thor.
As Asgardian runes were imprinted on the ground, Thor and Jane vanished with the disappearance of the pillar of light.
Hawke stared silently at the rainbow bridge teleportation mark left on the ground in the distance.
The next second,he shook his head and chuckled.
Whatever.
Anyway, that dark elf will come to Earth for him by tomorrow at the latest.
Let the dust settle.
"Hawke thought to himself, then, looking at the still-pouring rain outside, with a thought, and following the flow of his cosmic energy, he pulled Gwen into the downpour.
Gwen was prepared to be soaked to the bone.
But she stared at the torrential rain, then at the dry, rainless area within a foot of her and Hawke's feet, and froze.
The next second,Gwen remembered the Reality Stone Hawke had mentioned before disappearing, her eyes lighting up as she looked at him.
"Hawk, you."
"I got a part of it."
Hawk didn't hide it from Gwen.
Although he only got a part, it was still a part of the Reality Stone.
While it wasn't enough for him to turn his cosmos into the Golden Phoenix Universe, it could still modify the weather within a foot of him.
For example, making the weather within a foot of him sunny.
Hawk thought to himself, then looked away from the teleportation mark left on the ground in the distance and said to Gwen, "Let's go, let's go back."
Thor and Jane had already returned to Asgard.
Even if he wanted the complete Reality Stone now, there was nothing he could do.
But it didn't matter.
By tomorrow at the latest, the leader of the Dark Elves, Spicy Chicken oops.
Mr. Malekith, would come to Earth with what he wanted.
After all, his Reality Stone was incomplete.
An incomplete Reality Stone couldn't help Mr. Malekith realize his dream.
Hawk and Gwen's departure was not noticed by Jane's assistant, Jane's assistant's assistant, or the London police officers who got up from the ground.
Because he had once again used part of the Reality Stone to modify his and Gwen's presence, the two of them easily passed the police cordon and took a taxi back to the hotel where the four of them were staying.
After receiving a text message from Gwen saying she was back, Mary immediately knocked on Gwen and Hawke's door.
"Gwen, give me a menstrual cup, I just arrived too."
"What menstrual cup?"
Gwen's expression faltered slightly, then, as other expressions began to appear on Mary's face, she realized what was happening, chuckled, turned and went into the bedroom, opened her suitcase, took out a box of menstrual cups she had brought from New York City, and handed them to Mary.
Mary took them, thanked her, and then looked around the empty room. "Where's Hawke?"
"He went to the rooftop."
"Okay, so are we still following the schedule tomorrow?"
"Uh."
Gwen thought for a moment and said to Mary, "We should follow the plan.
I'll check with Hawke when he gets back. By the way, have you eaten?"
Mary shrugged.
"Didn't I call you an hour ago and tell you to eat first? Were you still outside?"
Gwen remembered.
She was still waiting for the missing Hawke at that time.
Gwen smiled and apologized to Mary.
Mary didn't think much of it.
After getting the menstrual cup, she left Gwen and Hawke's room and headed towards her and Peter's room.
Gwen closed her door and headed towards the elevator. ...
