Chapter 6: Hawk, the All-Powerful Bronze Saint!
Crack!
The Chitauri soldier, still in an attacking posture, had his head instantly twisted ninety degrees. His compound eyes, resembling a fly's, glowed with a faint green light, seemingly staring at Hawk, who stood before him, in disbelief.
How did he suddenly appear behind me?
The Chitauri soldier didn't understand.
But he didn't need to understand, because this was the last thought of his life. After this thought crossed his mind, an endless darkness instantly enveloped him.
The Chitauri soldier's body fell limply onto the rooftop, his energy weapon slipping from his grasp and clattering to the ground.
“That's it?”
“Heh.”
Hawk chuckled softly as he looked at the dead Chitauri soldier whose neck he had twisted.
The next second.
He felt it: within his Little Universe, born after the Big Bang, a warm current suddenly appeared in his body as the Chitauri soldier died. As this warm current surged in, it was as if a star had been lit within his Little Universe.
At the same time, with the lighting of this star, a piece of information was also transmitted to Hawk.
Within the Little Universe, the ethereal forms of the forty-eight Bronze Saints flickered into existence after the first star was lit.
Hawk closed his eyes, absorbing the information transmitted by the Little Universe.
Growing in countless battles.
Sublimating in endless battles.
After all…
The method of Little Universe cultivation was inherently born for war, for Holy Wars; it was a method of combat, a method of Saint Seiya fighting.
“So.”
“If I want to light up my constellations in the Little Universe, I need to fight, constantly fight?”
In the Saint Seiya setting, the awakening of the Little Universe and its associated constellations have a deep connection, but it's not a simple one-to-one correspondence.
If the awakening of the Little Universe is a liquid, then the associated constellation is the container.
Constellations are symbols of a Saint Seiya's identity and containers of their power.
Bad news.
There are no Saint Seiya in the Marvel Universe at all. Therefore, if he wants to have his own constellations, he needs to light up his associated constellations one by one on his own.
Good news.
Because there are no Saint Seiya in the Marvel Universe, theoretically, Hawk can awaken all forty-eight Bronze Saints.
Unlike the Saint Seiya in his memories, where tens of thousands of people competed for one constellation, like thousands of soldiers crossing a single-plank bridge, and only one person was the ultimate winner.
After all, in his memories, there were few constellations and many Saint Seiya.
But here, it's different.
Only he has awakened the Little Universe here.
So…
He can be the Pegasus Saint, or the Phoenix Saint, as long as he can light up these constellations in his Little Universe.
This is…
Great.
What's that saying again?
Children will make choices. Although he is only seventeen and not yet an adult, psychologically, he is already an adult.
He wants them all.
Wait a minute.
Since he can choose to have all forty-eight Bronze Saints, what about the twenty-four Silver Saints?
And the Twelve Zodiacs?
Hiss!
Hawk suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but gasp.
Just then.
He felt the wind outside and instantly opened his eyes. He saw two Chitauri soldiers piloting flying vehicles. Upon seeing the corpse of the Chitauri soldier beneath his feet, their gaze instantly fell on him. Then, without any further words, they directly pulled their triggers at him.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
It seemed that upon seeing the corpse of their companion killed by a weak human, these two Chitauri soldiers were enraged. They continuously pulled their triggers, unleashing their fury onto the rooftop.
Under the fury of these two Chitauri soldiers, the already crumbling rooftop finally couldn't hold on.
With the continuous sounds of explosions and wails, the apartment rooftop collapsed.
The entire apartment building also swayed precariously.
Soon.
As the two Chitauri soldiers continuously fired around the apartment rooftop, the apartment building also began to collapse, caving in from top to bottom.
The ground seemed to tremble at this moment. As a huge cloud of dust rose, the original five-story apartment building completely turned into a ruin.
Some residents who had managed to escape from the apartment building before it collapsed, but hadn't run far, now stared at the collapsing apartment in the dust, their mouths agape and their minds blank.
But they quickly snapped back to reality.
Because the two Chitauri soldiers lowered their flying altitude and appeared in their line of sight.
They reacted, looking at these two Chitauri soldiers who didn't look human no matter how you looked at them, screaming and turning to run.
Too late, unfortunately.
Their orders from headquarters were to kill Earthlings. So, upon seeing these humans attempting to escape, they didn't hesitate and pulled the triggers of their weapons again.
Continuously exploding energy blasts.
Continuously dying passersby.
In just the blink of an eye, this street, which already had a poor, unprosperous nature, instantly became like a street in war-torn Iraq.
After clearing out the humans here, the two Chitauri soldiers both dismounted from their flying vehicles, took out the energy weapons strapped to their backs, and aimed their muzzles at the apartment building that had already become a ruin.
Because they discovered that the life signal of the human who had just killed their companion was still present.
And this life signal was not only not weakening but was even strengthening.
Getting stronger and stronger.
The two Chitauri soldiers exchanged glances.
The next second!
“Boom!”
The ruins cracked, and a blur shot past.
The Chitauri soldier on the right instantly vanished from his spot. Following a deafening sound, the Chitauri soldier who had just disappeared was now plastered against the wall of the opposite apartment building, like a mural.
Pale green blood flowed all over the ground.
The remaining Chitauri soldier stared wide-eyed at his companion who had suddenly flown out.
Unfortunately, his eyes were too small; no matter how wide he stared, they still looked no different from the size of a green bean.
The Chitauri soldier instinctively ran towards his plastered companion to provide support, but before he could run a few steps, he felt a blur before his eyes, and then his entire body was sent flying backward.
At this moment, a loud bang finally echoed in his ears.
“Boom!”
“Bang!”
The Chitauri soldier's chest exploded in mid-air. Like a rag doll, he fell into the ruins of the apartment building that had already become a wasteland.
His body bounced like a pinball on the ruins for a moment, then landed in the debris.
Motionless.
“Pat.”
“Pat.”
“Pat.”
Hawk, who appeared at the spot where the Chitauri soldier had just been sent flying backward, was patting off the dust on his body while curiously looking around.
Killed one Chitauri soldier, and two more came.
Now that he had killed two Chitauri soldiers, next, three should come, right?
Hawk thought to himself, then looked at the Leviathan behemoth that had already descended from the space portal above Manhattan…
His eyes were burning.
Eager to try!
