Marvel: I Awake the Little Cosmos-Chapter 548 - 516: The Death of Bolivar Trask

Because of the ultimate fear of humans being evolved and eliminated.

Because of jealousy over why they themselves are not mutants.

Because of ambition in power and commercial interests.

And because of a fanatical belief in human supremacy.

These four emotions, ultimately led Bolivar Trask to attempt creating Sentinel Robots capable of destroying all mutants.

As Hawk spoke calmly.

At a certain base, Bolivar Trask, wearing a headset device and watching Hawk through the Sentinel Robot’s perspective, became exceptionally intrigued after Hawk revealed his intentions.

But he quickly calmed down.

"Ha!"

Along with Bolivar Trask’s cold laugh, his voice icy, the Sentinel Robot’s deep blue glowing eyes watched the floating Hawk in front of it: "Say what you will, but history will remember this day because from this day forth, mutants will be swept into history..."

Hawk interrupted directly: "History won’t include a cowardly scoundrel like you, and I’m quite curious, hiding behind there, dare to speak to me this way. But if you face me directly, will you still dare to talk to me like this?"

As he spoke, Hawk turned his head, looking at Wanda who was standing together with her daughter, Jean.

Understanding his intent, Wanda spread her arms, releasing endless Crimson Chaos aura.

In the next second!

Inside a certain base, Bolivar Trask felt his vision blur, and then found Hawk had somehow left in front of him, now above his head.

No, wait!

Hawk hadn’t changed form; instead, Bolivar Trask was inexplicably pulled out from his safe house, now standing brightly in the Quantico Military Base.

Bolivar Trask’s tiny mind was utterly bewildered.

After pulling Bolivar Trask out, Wanda raised her right hand, instantly freezing Bolivar Trask’s form in mid-air, finally suspending him in front of Hawk.

"That’s more like it."

Hawk smirked at the short man appearing before him: "Now, I’ll give you a chance to repeat what you just said."

Bolivar Trask, snapping out of his shock, tried to twist his body, but upon finding it futile, he looked up at Hawk: "You can’t kill me."

Though his voice was calm, it couldn’t conceal the fear within.

Hawk chuckled.

"I’m afraid to kill you? Ha, why don’t we give it a try."

"Kill me, and the Sentinel Robots will activate immediately."

"Really?"

Hawk raised an eyebrow, smiling instead of anger, floating before Bolivar Trask, then opened his right hand, gripping Trask’s throat: "That’s wonderful."

Bolivar Trask felt the bone-chilling coldness around his neck, and just as Hawk’s grip tightened, he shouted loudly: "The Sentinel Robots aren’t limited to just this one; there are three more. Even if you kill me and this Sentinel Robot now, the remaining three will be activated instantly, and they will evolve during growth. Plus, the other three aren’t equipped with the recognition algorithm."

Hawk paused slightly, releasing Trask’s throat, and looked at Bolivar Trask.

"Algorithm, what algorithm?"

"Mutant recognition algorithm."

Seeing Hawk’s interest, Bolivar Trask hurriedly explained: "Only Sentinels equipped with the mutant recognition algorithm will target mutants. Without this algorithm..."

Hearing this, Hawk laughed, helping Bolivar Trask clarify.

"Sentinels without this algorithm will view both mutants and humans as targets for attack."

"Yes."

Bolivar Trask’s small eyes stared intently at Hawk: "Sentinels are bound to my heartbeat, and once I’m dead, they will activate instantly. The other three Sentinel Robots will replace their directives with ’Attack any possible threat to them’ and ’Evolve and proliferate as much as possible.’

Simply put.

If he dies, the other three Sentinel Robots, once activated, will attack anything they deem a threat and begin self-replication.

To put it clearly.

Self-cloning!

Regardless of being mutants or humans, as long as the Sentinel Robots’ algorithm considers them a threat, they will be attacked.

Listening to Bolivar Trask’s backup plan, Hawk understood why on the original timeline, the Sentinel Robots created by Bolivar Trask led to world destruction.

Without surprise, it should still be Washington acting out, possibly after Bolivar Trask manufactured Sentinel Robots, believing they could control Trask but couldn’t, hence choosing to rid Bolivar Trask.

Perhaps through a suicide with seven shots to the back. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Why should Bolivar Trask die while not being a local Anglo-Saxon or Juda Clan person.

If he doesn’t die, who will!

And because it was assassination, Washington didn’t expect that after Bolivar Trask’s death, Sentinels originally targeting mutants suddenly went out of control, not only adding them to attack lists but also seemingly gaining self-awareness, beginning to occupy factories for self-cloning.

Then nothing more.

Bolivar Trask lives, and Sentinel Robots are destined to emerge.

Once Bolivar Trask dies, then Sentinel Robots will destroy the world.

Unless, after reversing the future and before the birth of the Sentinel Robots, Bolivar Trask is completely killed.

Initially, Wolverine also planned to do so, even Magneto had the same plan.

The result——

Thanks to the merciful Professor X, from a certain perspective, the reason this universe continually falls into a state of cyclical resets is ultimately because of the peace-seeking Professor X.

Bolivar Trask, seeing Hawk seemingly deep in thought after his words, assumed Hawk was contemplating something. The initial panic and fear in his eyes gradually gave way to a sense of control: "I can spare your life."

Hawk, pondering the reason for the universe’s cyclical resets, snapped back after hearing Bolivar Trask’s words, and looked at him.

Bolivar Trask chuckled and said, "Let me go, and I’ll spare you and your family. My Sentinel Robots won’t attack you."

Hawk heard clearly.

He was momentarily startled by the serious and earnest expression of Bolivar Trask.

Hawk instinctively looked up at the sky.

Uh...

Alright.

It’s dark. No wonder Bolivar Trask suddenly started talking nonsense.

Bolivar Trask, seeing this scene, thought Hawk was hesitating, and a smile began to bloom on his face, the dark thick mustache beneath his nose starting to curl upward.

Hawk lowered his gaze again, looking at Bolivar Trask in his hand, whose face was beaming like a chrysanthemum, and smiled as well.

Their eyes met.

"I’ll give you one last..."

"I refuse."

"Wha..."

"Crack!"

Hawk’s expression instantly turned cold as he suddenly tightened his grip on Bolivar Trask’s throat with his right hand.

In an instant.

The sound of cracking bones echoed crisply.

Bolivar Trask’s mouth opened wide, his pupils showing disbelief and immense fear, finally freezing in sheer resentment.

Hawk released his right hand.

As Bolivar Trask’s throat was crushed and left Hawk’s grip, his head immediately drooped, and his small body fell freely, finally landing like a dead dog on the cracked concrete floor below with a thud.

Wanda looked at the body that fell to the ground in the distance, her expression unchanged, seemingly unsurprised by Hawk’s choice.

After all, Hawk never accepts threats.

He accepts threats in no form.

The most critical point.

Even if Bolivar Trask was a threat, he didn’t threaten correctly.

Is Hawk afraid of the world being destroyed?

A joke.

If not for some reasons preventing him from actively destroying the world, if he could, countless Planet of Life in the Eternal’s lineage within this universe would have already been blasted apart by his fists.

Moreover, this universe wasn’t even Hawk’s original universe.

So!

In my own original universe, I’m no saint, so why would I become one in this universe?

Just as Bolivar Trask hit the ground, his heart finally ceased to beat.

Hawk seemed to have sensed something and once again turned his gaze toward the five-meter-tall Sentinel Robot.

A buzzing sound began to emanate from within the Sentinel Robot at this moment.

The sound grew from faint to loud.

From slow to rapid.

Soon.

With a clack, the Sentinel Robot’s head, which was slightly drooping, suddenly jerked up, its deep blue eyes swiftly scanning its surroundings.

The Sentinel Robot’s gaze swept over the soldiers nearby aiming at it, as well as the mutants including Storm, highlighting every target in red in its vision.

But in the next second.

Its gaze fell on Hawk.

Target——

Deep Crimson!

Blood Red!
