On Earth, there exists such a wall.
It was built in a discontinuous manner, with its core components consisting of over forty checkpoints, equipped with electronic surveillance and military outposts.
In the past, with such walls, the people who needed protection were always inside the wall.
But this wall was an exception.
He enclosed the so-called enemies within the wall.
Ten thousand feet in the sky.
Hawk Phoenix's figure emerged, and he glanced upwards.
He could feel that the moment he appeared, numerous SHIELD Satellites were secretly peeking at him.
But it didn't matter.
"As everyone knows."
"One person makes a mistake, the whole clan takes the medicine."
"So—"
"Super Meteorite!"
Hawk Phoenix closed his eyes, and as his right hand pointed to his brow, the golden light in front of him surged, and from within the surging golden light, a two-sided gold cloth walked out, then extended its right index finger, pointing downwards.
Then—
Meteors descended from the sky, and the moment they hit the ground, a powerful Impact was born. Buildings were instantly vaporized in a destructive manner, and the countless particles formed after the meteor's explosion transformed into a violent storm of wind and rain, sweeping in all directions with a crackling sound.
At this moment, the sky and Earth darkened.
At this moment, there was silence.
"Hill, Sharon just called. Hawk Phoenix had already left by the time she got there."
"..."
Maria Hill, who was in the secret operations room of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, withdrew her gaze from the white area on the screen and looked at Victoria Hand, who had just hung up and was shaking her head with a bitter smile, sighing.
"That news is too regrettable."
"Indeed."
Victoria Hand's expression showed a trace of helplessness.
"Just one minute late, what a pity."
"What a pity."
Maria Hill also sighed with a hint of seriousness in her expression, then exchanged a look with Victoria Hand and shrugged: "Never mind, it's done. Let's eat first."
Victoria Hand nodded at the words.
"Makes sense."
"Shut down the satellite."
"Yes, Director."
The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent nodded and made a throat-slitting gesture to the two Agents operating the SHIELD Satellite. The two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents understood and turned off the screen that was showing a white area.
With the shutdown of the SHIELD Satellite, others who were using satellites to peek at Hawk Phoenix also looked at the white area that appeared in the blink of an eye, swallowed, and then chose to move their satellites.
Ten thousand feet in the sky.
Hawk Phoenix reopened his eyes, feeling the disappearance of the peeking sensation, and chuckled softly.
However... just as he turned to leave, his movements paused slightly as he saw a spark portal appear before him.
Hawk Phoenix looked at the familiar classical layout behind the spark portal, raised an eyebrow, and then stepped through.
By the time he passed through the portal, he had already arrived at the New York Sanctum of Kamar-Taj, where he had once brought Gwen.
"Hawk Phoenix."
"I am Dr. Stephen Strange."
Doctor Strange, with black hair, a thin face, a small mustache, dressed in a Kamar-Taj blue sorcerer's robe, and wearing a red Cloak of Levitation, stood at the staircase leading to the second floor of the Sanctum, looking at Hawk Phoenix who emerged from the portal: "You can call me Doctor Strange."
Hawk Phoenix glanced at Doctor Strange, who, although his hands were hanging low, had a wary expression and was ready to shift into an attack stance at any moment.
"Something wrong?"
"Things are not done that way."
Doctor Strange looked at Hawk Phoenix with intelligent eyes filled with deep vigilance, his voice low.
"Is that so?"
Hawk Phoenix chuckled at the words, looking at Doctor Strange.
"And then?"
"You can't do this anymore."
"Heh!"
Hawk Phoenix was amused.
He looked at Doctor Strange with a slight smile: "I'm very curious, when the Sorcerer Supreme retired, did she ever tell you about me?"
Doctor Strange was silent for a moment, then met Hawk Phoenix's gaze.
"She did."
"Very good."
Hawk Phoenix nodded with a brilliant smile at the words, then looked at Doctor Strange: "Then I only have one question, Strange, tell me, do you sympathize with them?"
Doctor Strange's eyes narrowed.
Hawk Phoenix looked at Doctor Strange with a beaming smile: "Just a reminder, think carefully before answering, because your answer concerns your life."
Doctor Strange met Hawk Phoenix's intensely aggressive eyes.
"I only care about the safety of our World."
"Don't change the subject."
Hawk Phoenix spread his right hand, and the energy of the Little Universe in his palm gathered at a visible speed, gradually forming a golden-looking light sphere, but its contained energy was enough to destroy a city: "Look into my eyes, and tell me, Strange, do you sympathize with them?"
Doctor Strange's gaze fell on the beautiful but extremely dangerous light sphere in Hawk Phoenix's right palm, and at Hawk Phoenix's words, he looked at Hawk Phoenix again.
"I don't sympathize with them."
This was the truth.
Before he went to Kamar-Taj, he was their target for recruitment, after all, he was a skilled surgeon.
Therefore, what he wanted—money, houses, luxury cars—they chased after him to give him.
But after his car accident.
His sports car, house, and even bank account were immediately taken away, and he even incurred a mountain of debt, being declared bankrupt.
If he hadn't gone to Kamar-Taj, he would now be one of the many homeless people in New York City.
So... "I don't like them."
"But..."
Doctor Strange gave his answer, then looked at Hawk Phoenix: "Your actions will make them feel fear and terror, thereby dragging the World into an even more dangerous situation."
Hawk Phoenix raised an eyebrow, looking at the eye of agamotto hanging around Doctor Strange's neck.
"Have you seen the future?"
"What?"
Doctor Strange was slightly stunned, then followed Hawk Phoenix's gaze to the pendant around his neck, then reacted and shook his head: "No, the Sorcerer Supreme told me..."
Hawk Phoenix interrupted directly.
"You haven't seen the future, so you say the future will be very dangerous?"
"Your actions will cause..."
"You wouldn't think this is the first time I've done something like exterminating a race, would you?"
"..."
Doctor Strange was stunned by these words.
Hawk Phoenix's lips curved upwards, and with a thought, his own River of Time appeared above his head, then he looked at Doctor Strange: "I'll give you a chance to look at my past."
Doctor Strange said nothing, his gaze fixed on Hawk Phoenix's River of Time.
Upon seeing it.
Killing Hulk by the New Jersey River.
Battling Hell Hulk in the African wilderness.
Phoenix Wings Soaring turning Wakanda into a white area.
HYDRA's probing, leading to HYDRA's direct annihilation.
Battling the Dark Elves at Stonehenge.
Facing Mephisto's threats without flinching, forcing Mephisto to cede the ownership of souls.
And the completely lost kingdom in the Atlantic Ocean.
The most important point!
The annihilation of the Heaven Dimension and God.
Countless fragments of Hawk Phoenix's past, where the minimum action was exterminating a family, but more often exterminating a race, flashed through Doctor Strange's eyes.
As the fragments of Hawk Phoenix's past flashed back, Doctor Strange, watching the scenes, began to sweat on his forehead.
Even the red Cloak of Levitation draped over him seemed to be subtly trembling.
After Doctor Strange finished watching, Hawk Phoenix retracted his River of Time.
"Hiss!"
After his mind left Hawk Phoenix's River of Time, Doctor Strange couldn't help but gasp, subconsciously looking at Hawk Phoenix.
But the vigilance in his eyes had completely vanished without a trace.
It was replaced by fear.
Fear from the depths of his soul.
"When I kill one, you can call me a criminal."
"When I kill ten thousand, you should be afraid of me."
"When I kill enough, the only thing you can do is pray that my gaze doesn't fall upon you."
"I am not for them to respect or revere."
"I am for them to fear and be afraid of."
After retracting his River of Time, Hawk Phoenix looked at Doctor Strange expressionlessly, his voice calm as he said: "Considering the connection I have with Kamar-Taj and the Sorcerer Supreme, I pardon your recklessness this time, but remember, you can only use my favor with Kamar-Taj and the Sorcerer Supreme once. If there's a next time, I don't mind helping Vishanti find a new spokesperson."
As he spoke.
He looked at the administrator, Wong, who had opened a portal and arrived here from the Kamar-Taj library, and smiled slightly: "I think Wong is quite good."
Wong, who was sturdy and strong, wearing a dark vest, shirt, and suit pants, and had just stepped out of the portal, didn't understand the situation when he heard Hawk Phoenix's words, but still, with a serious expression, he stuck close to Doctor Strange and bowed to Hawk Phoenix.
"Mr. Phoenix."
"Wong."
Unlike Doctor Strange, Hawk Phoenix also smiled and greeted Wong, who had greeted him: "Are you no longer working the sacred profession of librarian?"
Wong, at the words, squeezed out a slight smile on his equally sturdy face: "I am now responsible for the training of new sorcerers."
Hawk Phoenix raised an eyebrow.
"Promoted, congratulations."
"Thank you."
Wong smiled and said, then looked at Doctor Strange, who was sweating on his forehead, and then looked at Hawk Phoenix.
"Mr. Phoenix..."
"It's this Doctor Strange who insisted on inviting me over as a guest."
"Hiss!"
Wong, at the words, looked at Doctor Strange beside him, gasped, and then looked at Doctor Strange with the eyes of someone seeing a fierce warrior.
Good heavens.
You're so brave, don't you know who he is?
Doctor Strange met Wong's gaze, which looked at him like a fierce warrior, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Could he be blamed?
He was just doing his daily job as a Guardian of Kamar-Taj.
Who knew... never mind.
Doctor Strange shook his head, extended his right hand, and began drawing circles, creating a portal leading to the backyard of 521A Palm Street, then looked at Hawk Phoenix.
"My apologies for the intrusion, Mr. Phoenix."
"This portal..."
Hawk Phoenix glanced at it, then looked at Doctor Strange.
"Change it."
"What?"
"Open a portal to where Odin is."
