Chapter 417 "Life"

After dealing with the affairs of the Ninja World, Nathan Hawke decided to leave the rest to Orochi. He had exerted enough influence in the Ninja World, and now it was time to return to his own plan. He returned to the Marvel World through the interdimensional portal developed by the Umbrella Corporation. He already knew the rules and power of this world.

After his journey across dimensions, Nathan Hawke steps into a parallel universe. This world was once conquered by Kang, the god of arthropods, but now it is under Nathan's control. Kang's power once dominated the land, but he was ultimately unable to withstand Nathan's strong will and strategy and was completely defeated. Now, this world, which was once in endless chaos and oppression, is undergoing a radical change.

The technology and resources of the Umbrella Corporation are working at full capacity to transform every inch of the planet. Technological cities are springing up on the earth like mushrooms after a spring rain, and extremely tall buildings form an eye-catching skyline on the horizon. Aircrafts shuttle endlessly in the sky, and the transportation system on the ground has been thoroughly upgraded. Robots and bionic people travel through the streets and alleys. Efficiency and order have become the new norms of this planet.

However, Nathan Hawke's goal is far more than that. All the changes in front of him are just part of his plan. As the new master of this planet, he decided to completely refine his will into this land and truly control every corner of this planet.

Nathan Hawke stood in the center of the transformed city, looking up at the skyscrapers built by the crystallization of technology, his eyes flashing with a deep light. The air was filled with a taste of the future, but in his eyes, all this was still not enough. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the pulse of the planet, as if resonating with it. His will began to slowly gather in his body, and the powerful spiritual power gradually spread.

The ground shook slightly under his feet, as if responding to his call. Nathan Hawke slowly raised his hands, and the air around him seemed to freeze at this moment, and time seemed to stop flowing at this moment. He clenched his hands lightly, and a powerful force burst out from his body, spreading around like ripples.

This force is not simply physical force, but the embodiment of Nathan Hawke's spirit and will. It is like an invisible storm, sweeping across the entire land, deeply implanting Nathan's will into every corner of the planet. The pulse of the earth becomes clearer, as if it is synchronized with his heartbeat. Every dust particle in the atmosphere, every wisp of wind, and every drop of rain are controlled by Nathan Hawke's will at this moment.

His consciousness gradually permeated every part of the planet, as if the entire planet had become an extension of his body. He could feel the majesty and tenacity of the mountains, the rushing and endless flow of the rivers, and every bit of noise and tranquility in the city. His will was like an invisible net, tightly enveloping the entire planet.

The Umbrella Corporation's transformation project also entered a new stage at this moment. The cities under construction began to grow rapidly, as if blessed by Nathan Hawke's will, becoming more magnificent and solid. The speed of technological progress was greatly accelerated, and facilities such as bionic manufacturing factories, energy supply centers, and genetic laboratories were rapidly expanded. The entire planet was evolving at an astonishing speed.

Not only that, every creature, every plant, every rock on the planet began to merge into Nathan Hawke's will. The power of the earth and his power began to intersect and gradually merge into one. His spiritual power continued to penetrate, integrating part of his existence into the core of this planet.

As time went by, Nathan Hawke could clearly feel that the pulse of this planet was completely synchronized with his. He was not only the ruler of this planet, but also its source of life. He could control wind, rain, thunder and lightning with his will, could feel the growth and changes on every inch of land, and could change the direction of mountains and rivers with a single thought.

Nathan Hawke slowly opened his eyes, revealing a cold smile. He had completed an important step in his plan, and the fate of this planet was now completely in his hands. Any force that tried to resist his will would be completely crushed, and any existence that dared to challenge his authority would be ruthlessly suppressed by him.

On this transformed planet, Nathan Hawke has become the true master. His will not only controls the present of this planet, but will also determine its future. He has completely integrated his power with this planet, and from then on, this planet will become an extension of his will and the cornerstone of his plans to conquer more worlds and realize greater goals.

Nathan Hawke stood at the center of Hawke's Earth, looking at the world he had created with his own hands, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart. He gently closed his eyes and felt the pulse of the earth under his feet, which was a symbol of his close connection with this planet. After a series of precise layouts and difficult battles, he finally had a piece of "immortal" land that truly belonged to him in the Marvel Universe. He called this world "Hawk's Earth".

"Finally, in the Marvel world, there is real 'immortality'." Nathan Hawke whispered to himself with a smile on his face. The foundation has been solidified, and now a new journey is about to begin.

Just as he returned to his own parallel universe, the space around him suddenly fluctuated slightly, and then a familiar portal slowly opened. Ancient One, the Supreme Sorcerer with the Time Stone and the Mind Stone, appeared beside Nathan Hawke. Ancient One's face was still full of wisdom and calmness, but at this moment, there was a hint of joy and admiration in his eyes.

"Congratulations, Nathan." Ancient One's voice was calm and powerful. He nodded slightly, with genuine admiration in his tone. "Your power now far exceeds that of the past. Even if I want to open a portal to come to you, I need your consent to do so. Your achievements are truly amazing."

Nathan Hawke smiled faintly when he heard this. He turned to look at Ancient One, with a hint of humor in his eyes. "Oh? So it seems that I can finally hold my head up in front of you. Maybe one day, you will have to ask me how to open more portals."

Ancient One chuckled, with a deep light in his eyes, "Perhaps, I should also go to the Eternal God and report your achievements to them. This kind of power is enough to attract their attention."

Hearing this, Nathan Hawke shook his head slightly, with a hint of joking in his tone, "Don't be so anxious to report to the Eternal God. I still plan to decorate this earth more beautifully. When the time comes, it may be more interesting to let them come and visit."

Gu Yi smiled without saying anything, but his eyes revealed a trace of deep thought. He knew that the power and wisdom of Nathan Hawke had exceeded the imagination of many people. And what kind of waves this power would set off in the future universe, even he could not fully foresee.

......

On Thanos's warship, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive. The entire bridge was filled with a solemn atmosphere, and the guards around stood nervously in place, not daring to make any sound. In the center of the bridge, Thanos' tall figure stood still like a towering mountain, his eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze deep and cold, as if he could penetrate everything.

In front of him, a fortune teller with wrinkled face and hunched body was kneeling on the ground, trembling. The fortune teller's hands were shaking, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and his voice was trembling and fearful, as if he was trying his best to suppress the fear in his heart: "Respected Lord Thanos, I... I have tried my best to predict your fate, but destiny... destiny cannot be violated..."

Thanos's eyes remained cold and calm. He stared at the fortune teller in front of him quietly, as if waiting for his explanation.

The fortune teller took a deep breath and tried to calm his voice, but the fear in his heart was still like a tide that could not be stopped. He said carefully: "My lord, you... you are destined to embark on an extremely difficult path. Your power is unparalleled, your will is indestructible, you... are destined to become the master of the universe, but..." His voice suddenly became weak, as if with a hint of hesitation and struggle.

Thanos's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, "Go on."

The fortune teller felt a huge sense of oppression, his heartbeat accelerated, and it seemed that even breathing became difficult. But he knew that he had no way out, so he could only bite the bullet and continue: "However... My lord, you will never be able to fully control your destiny in this life. Although you have the prophecy of collecting all six infinity stones, fate... fate seems to be playing a huge joke on you."

Thanos' eyes became colder and colder, his fists slowly clenched, and a powerful force surged in his body, as if it would explode at any time. His voice was low and cold, with a chilling pressure: "Are you saying that I can't collect all six gems?"

The fortune teller's heart trembled, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that his words might bring about a catastrophe, but he still chose to face the overlord of the universe, with a trace of sadness in his voice: "Yes, my lord, although you have supreme power and your will is beyond ordinary people, it is difficult to defy fate. You will face countless obstacles... These obstacles will continue to hinder you until..."

His words faded under Thanos' gaze, as if he was afraid of the inevitable end.

Thanos' eyes flashed with cold light, and an uncontrollable anger was burning in his heart. He walked towards the fortune teller step by step, his steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to oppress the fortune teller's nerves. The fortune teller felt the pressure from Thanos, and his body couldn't help but shrink back, his eyes filled with fear and helplessness.

"Until what?" Thanos' voice exploded in the fortune teller's ears like thunder, carrying with it incomparable majesty and murderous intent.

The fortune teller's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. His breathing was rapid and his eyes were filled with despair: "Until... until your fate ends, my lord... fate cannot be violated..."

Thanos' rage completely erupted at this moment. He suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the fortune teller's neck, and lifted him up high. The fortune teller only felt a huge force pressing on his body, as if the last moment of his life was about to come.

"Destiny?" Thanos' voice was filled with endless murderous intent, his eyes burning with anger, "In this universe, only my will is the real destiny! I will personally collect all six gems and break this so-called fate!"

The fortune teller's face turned pale, and breathing became more difficult. His hands weakly grasped Thanos's arm, and his eyes were full of fear and helplessness. Although he tried his best to say something, Thanos' cold eyes made him unable to make any sound.

Thanos' fingers exerted a little force, and the fortune teller's neck made a slight cracking sound. His body suddenly went limp, and the light of life in his eyes quickly disappeared, as if all hope and fear turned into nothingness in this moment. Thanos looked at the corpse in his hand coldly, without a trace of fluctuation in his eyes, as if all this was just a trivial matter.

He threw the fortune teller's body aside, his eyes cold and firm. For Thanos, anyone who tried to stop him would be ruthlessly crushed. Destiny? In his view, this was just an excuse for the weak. Only the truly strong could control their own destiny.

Thanos turned around and continued to walk towards the control room of the battleship. The guards behind him lowered their heads silently, and no one dared to look at him. At this time, Thanos' eyes were burning with endless desire for the Infinity Stones. He would use his own power to break all the so-called "destiny" and control the fate of the entire universe.
