The Phoenix Fire grew more intense.
Gwen stared unblinkingly.
Beside her, Reed and Susan had also adapted to the dazzling light and slowly opened their eyes after closing them.
Next moment.
They saw Hawk emerging from the Phoenix Fire that had collapsed inward.
Hawk's gaze gently fell on Gwen, who was holding two bundles.
"Gwen."
"Hawk."
Gwen snapped out of it and exclaimed, excitement showing in her expression as she instinctively lifted her foot to run toward Hawk.
Then...
Gwen passed straight through Hawk with her son and daughter.
"Hmm?"
Gwen was slightly stunned, turned around to look at Hawk in front of her, lifted her right foot, and kicked at Hawk.
She wanted to use her hand.
But had no time.
Her hands were still holding the children.
Gwen watched her right foot, which also passed through Hawk, blinked her eyes at Hawk.
"This is..."
"Sorry, I can only meet you in this way for now."
Hawk's expression was gentle, his gaze softly falling on the two bundles in Gwen's arms: "If it weren't for their birth, I wouldn't be able to meet you in this way."
These two children were the bloodline of him and Gwen.
More so, they were the genuine bloodline of the Phoenix God Race.
When these two children were being nurtured inside Gwen, the multiverse where there was no Phoenix Star System began to be nurtured at that moment.
Similarly.
When these two children were born in this universe, the Phoenix Star System was born as well.
So...
When Hawk's bloodline descendants were born in this universe, when Hawk's Phoenix blossomed in this universe, the universe had already appeared in Hawk's perception.
It's just there's a small problem.
"The Celestial God Team has blocked this multiverse, and my true body can't descend here at the moment."
"Celestial God Team?"
Gwen blinked her eyes: "That big guy asleep inside Earth?"
Once more.
Hawk held nothing back from her, so the moment Gwen's mind recalled Hawk speaking of a Celestial God asleep inside Earth, that Celestial God, it seemed, belonged to the Celestial God Team.
But...
Gwen was a bit curious.
"Since they're blocking here, how did you come here?"
"I burned an entire galaxy to see you."
Hawk's voice was calm.
In the next instant.
The background around his standing area instantly shifted to another universe.
Upon sight.
Under Hawk's feet, a galaxy was constantly colliding, exploding, collapsing, and burning fiercely, releasing enormous energy before its annihilation.
The burning energy of this galaxy is precisely what supports Hawk, allowing him to disregard the blockade by the Celestial God Team and project himself in front of Gwen.
Hawk's power comes from his own Little Cosmos.
Even though, so far, he has acquired the World Tree, letting his Phoenix Cosmos possess a foothold in the Marvel Real Cosmos, enabling his power not to diminish by anything, manifesting through the foothold of the World Tree without relying on the Reality Gemstone.
Gwen, however, is currently situated in the Marvel 828 Cosmos.
In short.
Before the Phoenix Cosmos truly manifests, Hawk's power cannot pass through the endless multiverse to descend into the 828 Cosmos.
That's why his and Gwen's children's birth represents his Phoenix's appearance in this universe.
The appeared Phoenix is just a coordinate, informing Hawk of Gwen's current whereabouts.
Put it this way.
The multiverse is a door, Gwen inside, Hawk outside.
The appearance of the Phoenix Star System made Hawk find this door, but without a key, he cannot enter inside.
After all, when the Phoenix Cosmos manifests, his power follows wherever he goes.
But...
His power can't project into the 828 Cosmos yet, but some power can.
It is well known.
Although the Marvel multiverse is called a multiverse, it is of the same origin, thus the inherent power in Marvel can traverse the multiverse.
Therefore...
Hawk burned a galaxy in his own universe, then used the Reality Gemstone to transform the power erupted from this burning galaxy into a force that could traverse the multiverse, allowing him to project before Gwen.
"After all!"
"I haven't named these two children yet."
Hawk looked at Gwen tenderly.
Gwen's expression turned thoughtful.
"So, you didn't come to see me, but the two children."
"No."
Hawk raised an eyebrow, sensing danger approaching, looking seriously at Gwen: "To me, we are true love, the children are merely an accident."
Listening to Hawk's words, Gwen's face blossomed with a bright smile.
"You certainly know how to talk."
"Thank you."
Hawk also smiled, secretly noting that indeed, women are sensitive post-birth, Gwen being no exception.
Just then.
An angry roar emanated from the blazing star system beneath Hawk's feet.
"Phoenix, my Alda star system has no grievance with you. You destroyed billions of lives in my star system. As long as you spare my life, I will..."
"Then you might as well die."
As Hawk was conversing with Gwen, Phoenix Fire erupted from his eyes instantly, vaporizing on the spot the Star System Main God who was furiously roaring at him, and then his eyes returned to calm: "Your destruction, it's none of your business!"
With that said.
His gaze lifted, the cold on his face vanished instantly as if changing expressions, transforming back into gentle eyes as he looked at Gwen across the endless multiverse.
Reed and Susan, listening to Hawk's words, looked at each other in shock.
Gwen's pretty face was serious.
"Hawk."
"Hmm."
"Don't be a..."
"Don't be a saint, try to be a kind person."
Hawk knew what Gwen was going to say once she started speaking, took over the conversation, and after finishing, he said with a smile: "Rest assured, Earth is still here, all is well."
Gwen raised a delicate eyebrow.
"What about this Alda then..."
"Received an anonymous report that the Gods of the Alda star system had sided with Griss, the one who took you away from my side, so they deserve death."
An avalanche doesn't leave a single snowflake innocent.
Similarly!
If a Star System Main God has sided with Griss, in this case, the fortune should be shared among all Gods of the Alda star system, when it's time to face consequences, naturally, all the Gods of the star system should face it together.
He plays his game.
I play mine.
This was a decision Hawk made after Thanos passed away and he returned to Earth.
He doesn't care if Thanos said Griss truly left this cosmos or not, regardless he has made his stance clear.
In just a month, as long as he doesn't see Gwen, he will destroy all planets related to the Celestial God Team.
Without exception.
That's what Hawk said and that's what he did.
During the months Gwen was pregnant, he maintained a speed of destroying one Planet of Life with Celestial God Seed every month and finally spread his nickname from Earth throughout the cosmos.
And it leveled up.
On Earth, he's called the Demon King.
But in the cosmos, he's called the Demon God!
Gwen listened to Hawk's explanation, nodded, and no longer felt the need to defend the Main God or the billions of lives the Main God spoke of that Hawk casually killed.
After all...
If she defends the Alda star system, who would defend her?
Gwen thought this and then brought the conversation back on track.
"By the way, can you see the child clearly?"
"Of course."
Hawk said, directing his gaze to the two babies in Gwen's arms.
"So ugly."
"Right, you think they're ugly too."
Gwen's eyes lit up listening to Hawk's words, just about to say something she suddenly realized, and she glared at Hawk: "Hey, what are you saying, who is ugly?"
Hawk looked at Gwen, who was glaring at him like a tigress, slightly stunned.
"Didn't you just say..."
"I can say it, you can't."
"Alright."
Hawk smiled helplessly and shook his head, looking at the two babies in the swaddle: "What do you think are good names?"
Gwen side-eyed as if Gwen was standing beside her, then lowered her eyes to look at the son and daughter in the swaddle.
"Have you thought about it?"
"How about William Phoenix and Bella Phoenix?"
Hawk shared the names he had thought, looking at Gwen.
William, a strong warrior, a guardian.
Bella, beautiful, smart, and noble.
Gwen envisioned the meanings these names represented and looked at Hawk, her lips curling into a smile: "A son as a warrior, a daughter as a dear treasure?"
Hawk and Gwen exchanged glances: "He is my eldest son, he should and must become a warrior, a protector."
Everyone knows.
The first generation creates, the second generation maintains.
Listening to Hawk's words, Gwen seemed thoughtful as she nodded with a smile looking at Gwen: "William, I like that name."
She and Hawk's eldest son will surely inherit everything from her and Hawk in the future.
Gwen certainly understood this implication, lowered her gaze to look at the two little ones in the swaddle: "William, Bella, your daddy has named you."
In the next second.
Gwen seemed to have thought of something, looked at Hawk: "By the way, these two are friends I made in this world."
Following Gwen's gaze, Hawk looked over.
He saw Reed Richards and Susan Stone standing by, who hadn't spoken, but since his appearance have been watching him.
In the next second.
Hawk didn't wait for Gwen to introduce.
"Reed Richards?"
"Susan Stone?"
He directly called out their names.
Reed and Susan glanced at each other upon hearing this and Reed looked at Hawk: "You, recognize us?"
He remembered Gwen saying that on her Earth, there was no him and Susan.
Hawk smiled slightly: "When my Phoenix appears in this cosmos, this cosmos holds no secrets to me."
Reed: "..."
Susan: "..."
