Marvel: I Awake the Little Cosmos-Chapter 549 - 517: Hawk Battles the Sentinel Robot (Second Update)

Chapter 549: Chapter 517: Hawk Battles the Sentinel Robot (Second Update)

Boom!

The Sentinel Robot moved.

In an instant, its face, which originally had only two pupils, suddenly sprouted six lenses arranged in a fan shape on its head, glaring at Hawk and flashing frenetically at different frequencies.

Ding!

Mutant suspected.

Level...

Danger!

Extremely dangerous!

Searching database, searching for response plan.

Survival of the fittest capability activated!

Commence eradication operation!

Following the stream of data flashing by, the Sentinel Robot lifted its left foot. As the metal foot large enough to cover a car lifted and fell, the already cracked ground groaned even more!

Hawk watched this scene, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

Finally, it’s here!

Then—

Bring it on!

Bam!

Watching the finally moving Sentinel Robot, Hawk took a deep breath. With a sonic boom resounding in place, Hawk transformed into a stream of light, dashing toward the Sentinel Robot, leaving afterimages under the searchlights of the Quantico Military Base.

The next second.

A massive roar sounded, and at that moment, a huge figure whistled across the sky, heading towards the distant hangar of Quantico.

The moment the Sentinel Robot made contact with the hangar roof, it collapsed instantly, followed by the sound of explosions.

The first explosion, then the second, then the third.

The hangar was instantly ablaze!

Hawk steadied himself in mid-air, the crimson battle armor custom-made by Wanda accentuating his muscular build.

Beneath the crimson battle armor were chiseled muscles.

With the sky-high flames illuminating the hovering Hawk, he was portrayed as a godlike figure.

The crowd was stunned.

Whether human or mutant.

Not to mention the recent boasting about how formidable their Sentinel Robot was, just the sheer intimidating presence brought by its height should have ensured that it was the lightweight Hawk being knocked away, not the heavyweight Sentinel.

Yet the result was the opposite.

The one sent flying was the Sentinel Robot that the little dwarf had been so proud of.

This...

"Is this it?"

Daughter Jean was also quite surprised. She instinctively glanced at Wanda: "So, this is what they call a Sentinel Robot?"

She never really thought her father would lose.

Because in Jean’s heart, her father Hawk was the greatest, unparalleled.

But she hadn’t imagined the scene to be like this. At the very least, in her imagination, even if the Sentinel Robot couldn’t beat her dad, it should at least be able to exchange a few blows with him.

After all, this thing has been causing the universe to constantly reset and loop.

Yet it couldn’t even withstand a single blow from her dad?

So how did this thing cause mutants to keep traveling to the past again and again, trying in vain to rewrite what has already happened?

Daughter Jean couldn’t understand.

Wanda understood.

She listened to daughter Jean’s words, chuckled, her gaze not on Jean, but remaining on the direction of the hangar where explosions continued, watching as the Sentinel Robot, its charred body seemingly beginning to flicker with strange light, stood back up: "Don’t underestimate this thing. You should know, your dad’s initial plan was for this thing to win once. If it was really so weak, your dad wouldn’t have thought that way."

Daughter Jean, upon hearing this, nodded instinctively.

Suddenly!

Jean realized, and with a swoosh, once again looked at Wanda.

"What?"

"Shh!"

Wanda made a shushing gesture: "Keep watching. Although your dad fights like a warrior, different from us, combat experience at this level is rare to witness—watch carefully how your dad handles this thing. Then, if you’re willing, there are three more; you can try to deal with them."

Jean’s heart was stirred: "Right, there are three more. Those three Sentinel Robots are the key to destroying this world."

Wanda shrugged, saying nothing, her gaze intently fixed on Hawk, who was battling the Sentinel Robot with sheer physical force.

The air currents compressed into a milky white cone behind Hawk. When Hawk appeared again, he was in front of the Sentinel Robot.

To be precise, at the side of the Sentinel’s left knee joint.

The moment Hawk’s fist collided with the Adamantium that made up the Sentinel Robot, a shockwave spread outward from the point of impact, visibly.

The massive body of the Sentinel lurched to the side, toppling to the left.

The next second.

Appearing once more at the massive head of the Sentinel, Hawk swept his right leg, compressing the air again before delivering a whip kick to the Sentinel Robot’s face.

The Sentinel Robot, initially falling leftward instinctively, had its feet suddenly lifted, propelled by Hawk once more. Its body flew ten meters through the air before crashing heavily onto the concrete ground of the base.

The concrete ground of the base instantly shattered and caved in!

"Hiss!"

"Is Adamantium really this hard?"

Jean, witnessing this scene, gasped in shock at the hardness of the Sentinel Robot. "I remember my father could split the ocean with a single punch."

Beside her, Wanda explained, "Your father is fighting using just his physical strength now. If he were to go all out, not only one Sentinel, but even a hundred thousand Sentinels couldn’t withstand his punch, and they’d turn into molten scrap metal."

Jean blinked.

"Then why isn’t Dad going all out?"

"Hasn’t your Dad told you?"

Wanda withdrew her gaze and glanced at her daughter, smiling, "He’s the kind of person who likes to take risks when the wind is favorable."

Jean was puzzled.

"So, he won’t take risks against the wind?"

"No."

Wanda shook her head, looking at Jean, "Throughout his life, except when your aunt went to Hell for a little adventure, your father has always been in a favorable position."

It’s the truth.

The reason is simple.

It’s not because Hawk sacrificed his sister to ensure he never faced unfavorable conditions, but because Hawk never fights an unprepared battle.

The ancients said: Before the troops are moved, the provisions are prepared.

In the past two years, before Hawk’s Little Cosmos descended into this universe, he was always staying quietly at Palm Street No. 521A, developing steadily unless necessary.

Jean nodded thoughtfully, watching the Sentinel Robot that had endured another of Hawk’s attacks but seemed unharmed: "Isn’t my father’s physical strength enough to destroy this thing?"

Wanda shook her head.

"Adamantium is a metal used by the Celestial God Team to forge their bodies. It is the most superior metal in the entire universe."

"How can Dad win against this thing?"

Now, noticing something amiss with the Sentinel Robot that, despite being repeatedly knocked away by her father, seemed to last longer each time, Jean asked: "Is this thing evolving?"

Wanda understood and responded.

"It’s simulating a mutant ability."

"What mutant ability can contend with my father?"

"An ability akin to adaptation—evolution."

Wanda’s gaze fell on the Sentinel Robot, capturing the mutant energy simulated by its Crimson Chaos Power. Then, considering something, she looked at her daughter Jean: "By the way, have you attended school here? Do you know biology?"

Jean looked at Wanda who was giving her a caring look, unable to resist rolling her eyes.

"Mom, guess why they call him Professor X? Also, if I recall correctly, Mom, you and Uncle are the ones who didn’t attend school, right?"

"Sorry, little girl, but I have a doctorate degree."

"...When?"

"You’ll find out in the future."

Wanda smiled slightly, not answering the question, instead saying, "This mutant ability is akin to Darwin’s theory of evolution, where organisms adapt to the environment and then evolve accordingly."

Simply put, survival of the fittest.

As long as Hawk cannot destroy the Sentinel Robot in one blow, the Sentinel Robot can use this mutant ability to continuously adapt to Hawk’s strength and then evolve within Hawk’s power.

Frankly speaking.

Hawk indeed cannot, relying purely on physical strength, destroy the Sentinel Robot crafted from Adamantium with one strike.

Jean was stunned.

"Isn’t Dad in danger if the Sentinel Robot keeps evolving..."

"Mom, look quickly!"

Just about to say something, Jean suddenly widened her eyes, looking at the Sentinel Robot that, this time under Hawk’s attack, not only wasn’t knocked away but in the blink of an eye used its metal hand to block Hawk’s punch and then punched Hawk with its other hand.

At this moment, the Sentinel Robot finally relied on simulating the mutant ability for survival of the fittest, evolving to not only adapt to Hawk’s power but even surpass it.

Hawk was instantly blown away.

Bang!

The ground wailed once more. As Hawk landed, a huge dust cloud was born at the moment the ground caved in.

The simulated six pupils of the Sentinel Robot looked at the shrouded dust, flashing frantically.

For no other reason.

At this moment, it didn’t feel a sense of ease from defeating Hawk but instead sensed a huge and terrifying aura brewing within the dust enveloping Hawk.

Jean’s heart was in her throat after seeing her father Hawk blown away.

"Mom!"

"Don’t worry."

Wanda’s gaze also penetrated the dust, watching Hawk slowly rise from the pit, his upper garment blown away by the Sentinel Robot’s punch, holding the hand of her daughter Jean tightly due to tension: "Watch carefully, this has always been considered your father’s most powerful attack move!"

Daughter Jean: "..."
