Marvel: I Awake the Little Cosmos-Chapter 555 - 523: Have You Ever Lived for Yourself in This Lifetime?

Chapter 555: Chapter 523: Have You Ever Lived for Yourself in This Lifetime?

As everyone knows.

On Wall Street in Manhattan, there is a famous landmark.

The Bull Statue!

It symbolizes wealth.

During the recent battle between the Sentinel Robot and the Mutants, this Bull Statue was not affected. Even when Icarus crashed down like a Meteorite, shaking the entire Manhattan Island at that moment, this Bull Statue remained intact.

But now!

With Hawk and Icarus clashing once again, the Bull Statue didn’t withstand even a second and turned into dust the instant their fists met.

This demonstrated one thing once again.

Violence speaks, money goes silent!

Boom!

A perfect spherical shockwave spread out, demolishing everything in its path. The luxury cars that narrowly escaped earlier were completely lifted and rolled in the air, also turning into dust.

The alarm sounds of the buildings were hoarse.

It’s not that they didn’t want to shout; it’s because they couldn’t shout anymore.

Icarus looked up at the moment, piercing directly through a falling building, then hovered mid-air, his eyes glowing golden like the sun. The golden energy patterns on his blue-golden Battle Armor flashed as if breathing, and his heat vision continuously blasted at Hawk, who was fifty meters away.

Hawk still didn’t dodge or evade, using his Divine Body Power to withstand Icarus’s move.

Just as he had said earlier.

"The same move is useless against me."

"Hmph!"

Icarus listened without expression, still firing his heat vision continuously, but at the same time, he pressed forward and appeared in front of Hawk in an instant.

"Die!"

"That depends on whether you have the ability."

As Icarus swung a straight punch at him again, Hawk stepped forward and unleashed a spiral punch from his waist.

Once again.

The instant their fists collided, a circle of white air waves exploded, completely destroying the already badly damaged JP Morgan building.

Their battle did not cause either of them much injury. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

But Wall Street suffered immensely.

Beneath their feet, the ground began to sink again, water pipes burst, and the water columns instantaneously vaporized upon contact with the shockwaves of their battle. The gas pipe leaks triggered chain explosions, with tongues of fire surging continuously, setting the entire Wall Street ablaze.

Icarus changed his move again, his hand turning into a knife aimed at Hawk’s neck.

Hawk crouched down, using the momentum of his squat to launch a leg sweep like a battle axe. Icarus jumped to evade, but the ground beneath was kicked out into a pit with a five-meter diameter.

The two moved constantly through the ruins, almost remodeling Lower Manhattan where Wall Street is located with each clash, like a construction crew at work.

"Retreat!"

"Retreat quickly!"

Initially, when they received the alarm and arrived on the scene, they didn’t intervene but watched the battle between the Mutants and Sentinel Robots from afar. Now, seeing Hawk and Icarus fighting, the New York Police Department’s expressions changed drastically as they angrily shouted and chose to leave the battlefield.

In the end, they were spoiled by certain Mutants, leading them to develop the same bad habits as Washington.

Facing Mutants, they dared to strike hard and thought they could face any unknown with the same intensity.

Yet, they didn’t know that facing the unknown requires maintaining awe, not striking hard.

Fortunately, Hawk and Icarus have corrected their spoiled thinking.

At the same time, as these people hastily retreated, Hawk seized a small opening after Icarus blocked, instantly punching him in the abdomen.

To be precise, he hit the spot on Icarus’s abdomen where the golden stream of light was distinctly different from other areas.

In an instant!

Icarus showed an expression resembling pain for the first time.

This hadn’t appeared even when Hawk had knocked him down like a Meteorite.

Icarus’s body bent into a bow shape, flying backward rapidly, crashing through the load-bearing walls of three buildings in succession.

The buildings collapsed consecutively before him, with dust rising to the sky.

But before the dust settled, Icarus’s golden heat vision burst forth again, aiming at Hawk, who was preparing to press his advantage.

Although Hawk had said that the same move was useless against him.

Icarus’s move, while ineffective against Hawk, could disrupt his attack rhythm.

Hawk crossed his arms, and Icarus’s heat vision relentlessly hit Hawk’s forearms, reflecting and scattering toward the surrounding building debris.

Exposed steel bars melted, flowing like chocolate.

Concrete glassified in the intense heat.

In the only high building left on Wall Street, protected by Wanda, Wanda watched Hawk on the battlefield intently.

As for her daughter, Jean.

Jean’s mouth was wide open, her pupils showing extreme shock.

She thought the fight scene she saw at Quantico involving her dad had already reshaped her understanding.

But compared to the current scene, Jean had only one thought in her mind.

"So at Quantico, Dad was really just playing, not using his full strength?"

"Certainly."

Wanda, hearing this, briefly shifted her gaze, glanced at her daughter, then looked back at Hawk.

Jean swallowed her saliva.

"Is Dad using his full strength this time?"

"Shh!"

Wanda looked at Jean again, making a shushing gesture.

Jean realized, nodded repeatedly, and dispelled her distracting thoughts, joining her mother in watching Hawk on the battlefield.

At this moment, Hawk was enduring the immense pressure from Icarus’s heat vision and continued to stand firm.

He had only one thought in his mind.

He just wanted to kill Icarus, or be killed by Icarus.

So!

Live for death, charge forward fearlessly!

Hawk’s every step left fiery footprints on the ground, and his arms had now turned infinitely red.

Good news.

He was getting closer to Icarus.

Bad news.

Icarus was also relentlessly unleashing his heat vision, and the golden energy from his battle armor was continually converging into his pupils.

Thirty feet, twenty feet, ten feet—

Then he broke through.

At the moment when cracks appeared like cobwebs on Hawk’s arms, he paid no mind and instead maximized his speed, instantly creating six afterimages in six different positions around Icarus.

Each of Hawk’s afterimages posed a different attack stance!

He wasn’t someone who got here solely due to the system.

Indeed.

Without the system, Hawk couldn’t have acquired the Power of the Little Cosmos.

But the system merely provided a platform; after awakening the Little Cosmos, the system automatically left.

So!

Hawk could confidently say that reaching his current strength was 10% due to the system, while the rest was thanks to his effort.

Saint Warriors learn and grow in battle.

Hawk was no different.

Even without relying on his Little Cosmos, by using his Divine Body Power alone, Hawk could still temporarily elevate his speed to levels achievable by burning the Little Cosmos.

Icarus looked at the six afterimages surrounding him, his expression suddenly changing.

But!

It was too late.

The six heavy punches from Hawk’s afterimages struck Icarus simultaneously.

Ribcage!

Spine!

Back of the neck!

Temple!

Kidneys and heart.

Six of Icarus’s vital points were hit almost simultaneously, and in that instant, his blue-gold battle armor shattered, spraying out a mouthful of energy.

But what he spat out wasn’t blood, it was pure golden energy.

Icarus roared in anger.

The sound no longer belonged to human language, but rather to the roar of stars shattering.

The energy patterns on his blue-gold battle armor rapidly intensified the moment they shattered.

Unexpectedly.

Hawk watched this scene, and his heart sank.

No good!

This guy was indeed modified by the Celestial God Team.

But in a so-called Middle Eastern fashion.

Shit!

Because the energy inside Icarus was actually controlling him, not the other way around.

If Icarus were defeated, this energy would explode.

Hawk quickly thought and prepared to retreat.

But just as he was about to retreat quickly, Icarus, with energy surging out, suddenly reached out and grabbed Hawk’s arms, flashing a smile that began to radiate golden light.

"I said, I will kill you."

"Ha!"

Gripped tightly by Icarus, Hawk suddenly calmed down, looking at Icarus who had the leisure to smile and asked one last question, ignoring the ominous sense of impending death.

"Have you ever lived for yourself in your life?"

"..."

Icarus’s smile froze in an instant.

Just as he began to contemplate the answer to this question.

The explosion occurred.

Icarus’s body swelled visibly, growing brighter.

The blinding light made even Wanda, watching from afar, instinctively close her eyes.

When she reopened them, she saw a golden sun blooming in the center of the ruins on Wall Street.

Great sound is inaudible!

There was no sound, only a golden, ring-shaped shockwave spreading in all directions.

If this shockwave extended beyond Wall Street, without a doubt, the entirety of Manhattan Island would be wiped out in an instant.

And the residents living on Manhattan Island would be wiped out along with it.

But just as this shockwave was nearly about to spread beyond Wall Street, it suddenly seemed to receive some kind of pull, contracting and crazily compressing towards the explosion’s core.
