On the apartment rooftop,Hawke was boxing.
No punching bag.
No fighting techniques.
Hawke didn't even move, simply standing there, eyes slightly closed, and as if in a trance, he threw punch after punch at the air before him.
This time, he wasn't aiming for speed, but seemed to have entered a state of enlightenment.
Although every time he threw a punch before, he felt a strange sensation within him.
But tonight, the feeling was even stronger.
Hawke felt as if he had entered a place where, from any angle, darkness reigned.
But with every punch, this infinite darkness would sparkle with a glimmer of light.
If Hawke had looked up at this moment, he would have noticed something even more peculiar.
That is the bronze constellations dotting the night sky, visible to the naked eye—Pegasus, Draco, Aves, Phoenix, Lacerta, and the forty-eight constellations—also flickered in response to his every punch.
Yes.
It wasn't just one constellation that responded, but all of them.
All forty-eight bronze constellations responded to Hawk's blows.
One punch, another... and another.
Hawk's strikes were slow, yet simultaneously swift.
Although he always drew back his punches before throwing the second, the afterimage of the first often appeared before the second had completely vanished.
Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth, and so on until now.
A sky full of fist shadows!
Suddenly, a roar echoed in Hawk's mind.
The sound was faint, yet resonant like the mighty sound of a bell.
Bang!
A wisp of fire appeared with the sound. With the appearance of this flame, the stars, which had been completely reflected in infinite space by Hawk's punch after punch, spread out like ripples, quietly dispersing the thick black curtain.
At first, it was just a slight tremor.
Then, this pulsing vibration suddenly expanded, like the universe's initial Big Bang.
The stars dotting the infinite darkness suddenly exploded within Hawke's body, an invisible, intangible wall collapsed under the energy released by this cosmic explosion.
A power dormant for eons suddenly awakened.
Hawke's eyes, half closed, opened.
The moment they opened, the flames within them were no longer the same as before, only briefly flaring and then quietly extinguishing.
This time, the flames burst forth completely.
Boom!
Hawke felt the blood rushing through his body, every tiny cell in his body trembling wildly, like ten thousand stars expanding simultaneously.
Under this violent oscillation and expansion, every inch and every bone was constantly crumbling and shattering, but in the blink of an eye, it was reshaped by the terrifying force that seemed to be experiencing the birth of a star.
Buzz!
A buzzing sounded in Hawke's ears, and then, his vision blurred, and he saw a miraculous scene.
He saw the particles that made up his flesh whirling violently, burning, and collapsing, culminating in a final explosion resembling the universe's first explosion.
He saw the blood coursing beneath his skin like a seething, roaring galaxy.
He also saw his beating heart, each beat like the primordial, eternal pulse from the universe's creation, sending invisible ripples through the infinite void.
The next moment,a blessing arrived.
Hawke clenched his right fist, his heel digging into the ground like a plow. In the instant he shattered the rooftop's earth, his entire body's center of gravity retreated backward.
Retreat.
And then...
punch!
Hawke let out a low moan that didn't come from his throat, but from his soul exploding!
"Burn, my little universe!!"
"Boom boom boom!"
The air around him rippled like water.
The space around him shattered like glass.
The flow of time around him seemed to be violently shredded at this moment.
Air, space, and even time seemed to have come to a standstill under Hawke's punch.
The next second.
"Hiss!"
The air screamed as it was ripped apart.
"Bang!"

Space wailed in a crushing groan.
"Boom!"
Time was completely shattered by this blow.
But then, a brand new timeline instantly replaced the shattered one.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The exterior glass of the neighboring apartment across the street from Hawke's apartment exploded and shattered under the force of the blow, emitting a deafening shattering sound.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
The cars parked on the opposite highway suddenly seemed to be crushed down by an invisible hand.
The car windows also shattered, and then the car alarms went online, blaring a series of shrill sirens.
At the same time!
Kamar-Taj!
"Hmm?"
"Teacher?"
The temple mage looked at the Supreme Sorcerer, who suddenly uttered a confused sound.
The Supreme Sorcerer, dressed in yellow robes, lowered his eyes to the temple relic hanging around his neck—the Eye of Agamotto.
The Ancient One formed a seal with his hands, and the Eye of Agamotto slowly rotated before opening.
A faint green light emanated from the mysterious and profound green gem within.
This gem has a common name in the Marvel Universe:
the Time Stone!
It allows its user to travel to any point in time, no matter how far into the past or how far into the future.
The Time Stone controls both known and unknown timelines; controlling the Time Stone is equivalent to controlling time.
"What is this?"
"The future has been altered?"
"..."
The Ancient One formed a seal with his hands again, closing the Eye of Agamotto. He rose and vanished from the spot.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, you've activated your Cosmo training!"
"Ding!" "
It's been my honor to spend a thousand days with you.
The cheat will be unlinked soon. I look forward to seeing you again!"
"Finally, the Cosmo training method is a method of battle, a method of holy war.
Grow through battle, rise through battle!"
"Goodbye!"
The cheat's mechanical voice echoed in Hawke's mind.
A thousand days ago, the cheat went online quietly.
A thousand days later, the cheat went offline quietly again.
It came quietly. It left quietly.
At this moment, the sky was already bright.
"Hou Ni Xie Te!"
"What happened?"
"My glass."
"Ah, my car."
"Who the hell did this?"
"Wait a minute."
"Look, what is that?"
"Hou Ni Xie..."
"Jesus Christ."
Hawke, standing on the rooftop of the apartment, listened to all kinds of noises that seemed to ring in his ears.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw the gap in the sky above Manhattan that was torn by a faint blue light.
Hawke was stunned for a moment.
"Hiss!"
"I just punched a hole in the sky?"
"..."
