High above the Atlantic Ocean.
As Hawk exerted force with his right hand, Namor, who possessed immortality in the ocean, had his head instantly crushed upon leaving the sea.
Namor's headless body, under the influence of gravity, spilled blood as it plunged toward the sea below.
At the same time.
At the moment of Namor's death, his soul also appeared.
Hawk's Gate of the Netherworld opened at this moment, ready to guide Namor's soul into the Nether Prison, subjecting him to eternal suffering.
But just as the Gate of the Netherworld opened, prepared to take Namor's soul.
Hawk's Sixth Sense tingled.
In the next second.
A deep blue light suddenly appeared, and in front of Hawk, a vast expanse of blue ocean emerged, from which a golden deity slowly surfaced.
The Olympian God—
Poseidon, the Sea God!
Initially, Hawk thought Poseidon had appeared to seize Namor's soul.
But…
Until Namor's soul was taken into the Netherworld and the Gate of the Netherworld closed, Poseidon did not make any move.
Poseidon's golden pupils fell upon Hawk, his voice filled with divine essence.
"Hawk Phoenix!"
"..."
Hawk raised an eyebrow, looking at Poseidon before him.
"Poseidon!"
"Don't be nervous, I am not here for him."
"Heh."
Hawk let out a chuckle, looking at Poseidon: "Even if you were here for him, I wouldn't be afraid, after all, the projection of you cannot take his soul from me."
Divine projection.
It's not like he hadn't seen it before, not only had he seen it, but he had also slain a divine projection some time ago.
God Jehovah.
The old guy, boasting about being all-knowing and omnipotent, seemed to have bluffed himself into a corner, projecting so blatantly in front of him.
Isn't that asking for death?
As Hawk pondered, he still maintained basic respect towards Poseidon's projection.
He kept his Netherworld Armor on.
This was Hawk's respect for Poseidon.
Hawk wasn't in the mood to waste words with Poseidon's projection.
"Did you project here just to tell me you're not here for Namor?"
"I am here for you."
Upon hearing this, Poseidon, holding a golden Trident also filled with divine essence, let his golden eyes fall on Hawk.
Then—
"Thank you!"
"..."
Hawk, hearing Poseidon's unprovoked thank you, instinctively frowned.
"Why the thanks?"
"Boom!"
Pheidon's left hand lifted, and instantly the sea surface below the Atlantic Ocean formed a stage entirely composed of seawater.
Atop the stage, Namor's headless corpse was highly conspicuous.
Then, as Poseidon squeezed his left hand, the moment Namor's headless corpse on the stage burst apart, a drop of water, the purest blue seawater, appeared.
Hawk looked at the drop of blue seawater summoned back to Poseidon's hand, raising an eyebrow.
"Law Fragment."
"Yes."
"Did you give it to Namor?"
"No!"
After placing the Law Fragment back into his body, Poseidon looked at Hawk and smiled: "He killed me, and obtained it then."
Hearing this, Hawk's pupils involuntarily contracted.
"He killed you?"
"A clone I left behind before leaving Earth."
Poseidon smiled at Hawk: "Don't you already possess the Trident I left for my clone?"
Hawk raised an eyebrow.
"I thought he was your descendant, that you left it for him."
"Haha!"
Hearing this, Poseidon laughed with divine humor, then looked at Hawk: "I'm not like my indiscriminate brother."
Hawk raised an eyebrow.
Zeus!
The leader of the Aespirin Twelve Main Gods, the Sky God, the Thunder God, and the Cloud God, also the King of Gods and the King of Aspirin.
But…
Instead of these titles, Hawk preferred to call Zeus the Stallion God.
As mentioned before, the higher the life level, the lower the odds of producing offspring.
But not for Zeus.
Because throughout the Aespirin Cosmos, Zeus' offspring were numerous.
Zeus, through widespread distribution, didn't just ignore the boundaries of humanity and divinity for his offspring, but even disregarded ethics.
And Poseidon, by saying this, wasn't just denying a dark-skinned descendant but was also subtly mocking his brother, Zeus.
As is well known.
When Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades rebelled against the Second Generation Celestial Gods led by Chronos, they promised to share glory together after success.
Yet…
Zeus kicked Hades into the Netherworld and drove Poseidon into the sea.
Therefore, neither Poseidon nor Hades liked Zeus.
But given Zeus had numerous lovers and children, even if they disliked him, they couldn't influence him in any way.
However, this didn't stop the two from openly speaking ill of Zeus.
Poisidon looked at Hawk, who, after hearing that he was not his younger brother, was the first to react and then showed a knowing smile. Poseidon began to explain why the dark-skinned Namor had his Law Fragment.
"When Earth was newly born, the Olympic Pantheon had already taken notice of this brand-new Planet of Life."
"However, we exited before Yahweh arrived."
"Because Zeus made a deal with the Celestial God Team."
"So Zeus ordered us to withdraw from this planet, but to protect my realm here, Atlantis, I left behind a Law Avatar."
"Along with the Nemo Trident that I crafted when I first came here, to protect my realm."
"Yahweh descended and unleashed a great flood."
"To protect my realm, my Law Avatar was severely damaged and fell into a slumber."
"By the time I awoke, my realm had already been occupied by these people."
"Then Namor killed my avatar and gained my Law Fragment."
"But this Law Fragment is a minor matter to me, just a rule of seawater from a planet."
"I projected myself here after sensing Nemo Trident's agony."
As Poseidon spoke, he summoned with his left hand, and the Nemo Trident pinned by Hawk on the Vibranium Mountain Body at the bottom of the sea began to resonate with a hum.
Hawk lowered his gaze.
The Nemo Trident on the Vibranium Mountain Body instantly quieted down.
Hawk's lips curled up in a smile, and he opened his right hand, causing the Nemo Trident to break free from the Vibranium Mountain Body, emerge from the water, and fly into his right hand.
He was very pleased with the Nemo Trident's recent performance.
This was just right.
Recognize who you serve, and serve them fully.
This was well-known.
Loyalty must be absolute; otherwise, it is absolute disloyalty.
The same applies to weapons.
If the Nemo Trident had obediently rolled up here under Sea God Poseidon's call, its fate would have been complete destruction.
But now?
Hawk, holding the Nemo Trident, looked at Poseidon, who was holding the Sea King Trident.
"It's my Phoenix Trident now."
"Haha!"
Poseidon was slightly stunned, then laughed heartily again as he looked at Hawk, who had completely subdued the Trident he had once left behind.
"Congratulations."
"Thank you."
Hawk smiled slightly, raised his brows, and looked at Poseidon: "Do you want to take that guy's soul back to your world for a proper reception? I can give you that guy's soul."
This was well-known.
He was always one to go above and beyond in reciprocation.
So...
Hawk now didn't mind giving Namor's soul to Poseidon as a return for Poseidon's congratulations on acquiring the Trident.
Poseidon shook his head.
"Though my realm has many creatures, I won't let such a guy defile it."
"Alright then."
Hawk chuckled upon hearing, "I'll make sure to give this guy a proper reception for your share too."
Poisidon smiled at Hawk, and without saying more, collected the Law Fragment left in this world before turning into a mist of water with a poof and leaving this world.
As Poseidon's projection was about to leave this world...
Poseidon's voice finally echoed in Hawk's ear: "Yahweh recently visited Olympus and had a meeting with my dear brother."
Hawk raised his brows.
Yahweh met Zeus?
What did they talk about?
Teaming up to chop him down?
Hawk was thinking about asking further questions when Poseidon's projection completely vanished from Earth.
With a crashing sound!
The Netherworld Armor disintegrated and returned to the Holy Hall in the Netherworld.
Naked to the waist, Hawk stood in midair over the Atlantic Ocean, holding his 'Phoenix Trident' and contemplating.
New York S.H.I.E.L.D. Central.
Sharon and Gwen, watching Hawk who reappeared and crushed Namor's head, were curious as he floated alone in the air.
In the image from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Satellite, Hawk was always alone.
Poisidon was only a projection.
Not just the S.H.I.E.L.D. Satellite, even face-to-face, they wouldn't be able to see Poisidon.
Because only a Divine Spirit, or someone the Divine Spirit wishes to be seen, can perceive these projections; others couldn't see Poisidon even if he was cheek-to-cheek with them.
However, Hawk didn't stare quietly and contemplate for long.
Because the news brought by Poisidon wasn't worth too much contemplation.
At most, Yahweh and Zeus possibly teamed up, so what!
Whoever comes, I'm ready for them.
If Yahweh comes, I'll confront Yahweh; if Zeus comes, I'll confront Zeus.
That's simple enough.
The most important thing.
Instead of wondering about the possible alliance between Yahweh and Zeus, it would be better to focus on continuing to enhance his own powers.
In one sentence.
After all, he's got the Mind Gemstone now.
So...
Hawk's mind delved into the Little Cosmos, staring at the Mind Gemstone quietly floating within his Little Cosmos, his gaze turning passionate.
The next moment.
As he withdrew his gaze, he looked towards New York City, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.
The Seventh Sense...
Here I come!
