Don't worry.
I will find our daughter, Jean.
Although, Hawk also said the same thing to Gwen back then.
But this time, the situation with our daughter, Jean, is different from Gwen's.
Let's put it this way.
Although he knows that Gwen is currently in the 828 Multiverse, he still can't get there.
Because after he projected himself there, the 828 Cosmos completely blocked him, refusing to be perceived by him and also guarding against him sneaking in.
So Hawk has only one way to go to the 828 Cosmos to bring back Gwen.
Fight over there!
But this requires him to completely step into the Eighth Sense of Life, completely transcending the time of the Main Multiverse.
However, it's different for our daughter, Jean.
Although Jean was also kidnapped by the Celestial God Team,
Jean managed to escape during the abduction.
This is fundamentally different from Gwen being sent to 828 Cosmos for soft imprisonment.
In one sentence.
Hawk might not know which multiverse Jean is lost in, but likewise, the Celestial God Team doesn't know which universe Jean is lost in either.
So...
He just needs to find Jean before the Celestial God Team does.
Hawk doesn't even need to search; he just needs to wait quietly. Jean will naturally send him a message.
Just like the moment William, their son, and their daughter, Bella, were born, Hawk immediately sensed them.
Similarly!
The moment the multiverse Jean is lost in starts to resonate with him, Hawk will instantly discern which universe Jean is in.
Hawk thought to himself, then looked at Wanda, whose face was filled with worry for their daughter, Jean, after returning from the cosmos and comforted her: "Trust our daughter. As long as there's enough time, when the moment of resonance happens, I'll know where she is."
Upon hearing this, Wanda looked at Hawk, then fixed her gaze on him.
"But?"
"But what?"
Hawk raised an eyebrow.
Wanda said nothing and just looked at Hawk calmly.
Hawk looked into Wanda's slightly reddened eyes and then said, "The premise is that she is safe in that universe."
Once more.
Although Gwen is confined in the 828 Cosmos, she is completely safe. Even if life on that Earth is entirely wiped out, Gwen, William, and Bella would remain unharmed.
It's not just because of the Celestial God Team, but also because of the 828 Cosmos itself.
If Gwen dies, the 828 Cosmos would perish along with her.
That was Hawk's declaration when he projected into that universe. It wasn't directed at the Fantastic Four but rather a conversation with the Celestial God Team and even the 828 Cosmos itself.
Hawk now seeks transcendence.
If the Marvel Main Multiverse refuses, then fine, everyone relies on their capabilities and battles it out.
Since it's a war, then all means necessary can be used to win.
The principle of not harming the wife and children is under the premise that blessings are shared with them.
Hawk agrees with this point.
Although he initially thought about the other party possibly making a move and didn't intend to destroy the universe itself or annihilate the Celestial God Team as a whole.
But this isn't war, because even if Hawk ultimately fails, reaching only the doorstep of the Eighth Sense of Life, at most, he would just stop seeking transcendence and remain a secondary Main God in the Marvel Main Multiverse for hundreds of millions of years.
So...
They dare to kidnap Gwen, trying to disturb his Taoist heart, but they don't dare to actually kill Gwen, and they even need to ensure that Gwen lives well.
Just like Hawk said back then.
At least before he dies, Gwen will live well in any multiverse.
But Jean is different.
"She is different from Gwen."
"Gwen was placed in the 828 Cosmos for confinement. The Celestial God Team and that universe itself will ensure Gwen is in no danger."
"But Jean escaped by finding an opportunity herself."
"I don't know where she is, and neither does the Celestial God Team."
"The multiverse, a multitude of worlds, in these endless multiverses, not all environments are like our universe, the 616 Cosmos, or the 828 Cosmos where Gwen is; many multiverses have harsh environments."
"For example, some multiverse full of zombies."
"For example, some multiverse made entirely of pixels."
"Or even some multiverse currently undergoing destruction."
"I turned the World Tree into a phoenix tree, using our universe as a foundation to allow my power to spread throughout the multiverse through me and my bloodline."
"But this will take time."
"So, when Jean arrives in the multiverse, she will lose her powers."
"As my power gradually manifests over there, Jean's power will return, but it will take time."
"If it were just a regular Earth's multiverse, that'd be easier to manage."
"But if Jean has gone to those uninhabitable or harsh multiverse environments..."
Hawk met Wanda's gradually reddening gaze as he spoke, then shifted his tone: "But this is impossible."
Wanda frowned and continued to look intently at Hawk.
Hawk explained: "Have you forgotten, when Death tried to trick me into giving her the jurisdiction over Jean's soul back then?"
Wanda recalled Hawk's conversation with Death at that time.
Hawk looked at Wanda's confused red eyes and smiled, saying: "Death is the embodiment of all souls in the Main Multiverse; wherever there is a soul, she is there. Do you think, she truly doesn't know which multiverse Jean is in?"
Wanda was taken aback, her red eyes staring straight at Hawk.
The next second.
Her eyes contracted.
"Then the Celestial God Team..."
"She won't tell the Celestial God Team. Death, Eternal, Infinity, and Oblivion—these four creator gods won't intervene."
What?
And there's also Galactus?
Let's not talk about the Devourer.
Still the same words, in the eyes of the other four Creation Gods, Devourer is completely like a remnant from the previous dynasty.
Wanda listened to Hawk's explanation, feeling a bit confused.
"Why doesn't Death intervene? I heard from you that she seems to dislike Eternal, but aren't the Celestial God Team subordinates of Eternal?"
"Because once they intervene, I can overturn the table."
"..."
Wanda looked at Hawk with wide eyes, noting his enigmatic tone.
Hawk smiled slightly.
Exactly.
If the four Creation Gods dare to intervene to stop his transcendence, he would have the rightful reason to overturn the table.
For example...
Passing by one Multiverse, destroying one Multiverse.
Just like he once told Mephisto.
If Mephisto dared to kill his sister Anya, he would spend the rest of his life doing nothing but hunting Mephisto.
As everyone knows.
Hawk is a kind person.
But he is not a Saint.
So far, the reason Hawk hasn't overturned the table is because the four Creation Gods haven't intervened, so Hawk still maintains his 'traveler' mentality without evolving into a 'fourth calamity'!
That's a digression.
"In short, Death and the other Creation Gods will not intervene, so I asked Death if she knows where my daughter Jean is."
"...And then she asked you for your daughter's soul governance rights."
Wanda suddenly understood, looked at Hawk: "If Jean went to a dire planet, she wouldn't ask you for it, but she subtly hinted she's helping you?"
Hawk shrugged: "No need to worry about why, when you need to know, you will know."
Wanda nodded, stopped talking.
After a while.
Wanda followed Hawk back to the living room and asked one last question.
"Why does that Celestial God say that catching Jean can hold back your steps towards transcendence?"
"Jean is my first daughter."
Hawk returned to the bar, poured two glasses of bourbon again, handed one to Wanda, then took a sip himself, looked at Wanda: "First daughters are always special."
Wanda frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Hawk thought for a moment and didn't hide from Wanda.
"Gods' first daughters are always special."
"Like Athena of Zeus, Hel of Odin, what do you think their common characteristics are?"
"...Common characteristics?"
Wanda followed Hawk's words, pondering, but after thinking for a while, couldn't figure it out.
At this moment.
"They were all once prophesied to kill their fathers."
"...Anya."
Wanda snapped back, turning to look at Anya who was leaning on the staircase railing and looking over.
Anya walked down the stairs, ran to the bar area, looked at Hawk standing inside the bar: "Brother, am I right?"
Wanda also widened her eyes, looking at Hawk.
Hawk smiled.
Wanda took a deep breath.
"Jean would never do such a thing."
"It's not about whether she would."
Hawk drained the glass, looked at Wanda with a tense expression: "Athena and Wanda have never killed their fathers either, the prophecy is never about will they, but about having the power to do so. Once again, Gods' first daughters are always special."
Wanda's heart surged with turbulent waves.
"Are you saying they attempt to use Jean to kill you?"
"What? No, no."
Hawk slightly froze, quickly shaking his head like a rattle.
Wanda was dazed.
"I don't understand."
"That's normal, because I am me, a different kind of sparkle."
Hawk smiled slightly.
If it were native beings, like without the title of 'traveler', the Celestial God Team's scheme might succeed.
After all, the suspicion of first daughters is a common trait among Western gods.
But sorry.
Hawk is a 'traveler'.
Simply put, this is another tactic to disturb his Dao heart.
Unfortunately, his Dao heart is as solid as a rock.
And as for the suspicion towards first daughters.
Ha?
Come on, who is he? He's not an heir from 1 to infinity; he's an initiator from 0 to 1.
Zeus and Odin are heirs.
But he is an initiator.
All his great power resides within himself.
He is both the sycamore tree and the Phoenix, and also the Little Cosmos.
However...
Hawk looked at the glass that Wanda was holding, which she took a sip and then never drank from again, took it back, drank it all at once, then threw the empty glass into the sink, afterward walking towards the bar's exit.
"Let's go."
"...Where?"
"Kamar-Taj!"
"..."
