King Kong's angry roar pierced through space, exploding in Hawke's ears.
For some unknown reason.
Hawke seemed to understand the meaning behind King Kong's angry roar.
"Stay away from my home."
"Hey!"
Hawke subconsciously raised an eyebrow, looking at the colossal King Kong in his sight, standing thirty-two meters tall with rough fur bristling all over his body. He flashed forward, almost hugging the coastline of Skull Island.
Seeing Hawke not retreat but advance, King Kong became completely enraged.
Accompanied by another roar, his thick arms once again uprooted two towering trees that had grown on the island for an unknown number of years and hurled them towards Hawke's direction.
Boom! Boom!
Endless wood chips once again covered the forest below like snow, forming a thick layer.
"Roar (Get out!)"
"Roar!"
Hawke, feeling playful, also imitated King Kong's angry roar, spreading his arms and roaring back at King Kong: "I'm not leaving."
Although he didn't quite understand what this Skull Island meant at the moment.
But…
Leaving was not an option.
He could feel that something he had always wanted was on this island. He had just not yet made up his mind whether to take the risk.
Then King Kong appeared.
Hawke immediately stopped hesitating and directly took another step, entering the boundaries of Skull Island.
The next moment.
That invisible Godly pressure instantly arrived.
Hawke did not choose to resist this Godly pressure head-on. Instead, he gradually reduced the degree to which the Reality Stone materialized his Little Universe's current power.
If his current materialization of his Little Universe's power was one hundred percent Silver.
Then—
When Hawke reduced the materialization degree to about fifty percent Silver, the invisible Godly pressure around him immediately weakened.
Although the pressure was still there, it was enough for him to move freely.
Hawke thought to himself.
And King Kong in the distance, seeing Hawke not only provoking him again but also completely stepping into his territory, became utterly enraged.
Rumble!
After King Kong's right foot stepped out, he instantly crushed a small mound beneath his foot. Then, as his knees bent, he launched himself into the air like a cannonball. With both hands clasped into fists, he descended like a massive mountain, suddenly pressing down on Hawke in the air.
Seeing this, Hawke watched King Kong attack him in the air. As King Kong's fists were about to descend like Mount Tai pressing down, he also raised his hand and threw a punch, striking first even though he started later, hitting King Kong's chest at the speed of sound.
Bang!
King Kong instantly flew backward, his massive body like a dark cloud covering the sky, crashing with a rumble into the island's lake.
"Not bad."
After exchanging punches with King Kong, Hawke, who had been a bit uneasy due to lowering his power, was now completely relieved.
Although he still didn't understand the situation of this island.
But…
It was known that King Kong's power level on Skull Island was T0. And he had just punched King Kong away, so even if he had lowered his power, his level on Skull Island was still T0.
Since it was T0, what was there to worry about?
Hawke thought to himself, then prepared to turn around, intending to find Peter first, at least to confirm if Peter was alive or dead, and then to search for what he wanted.
But just as he was about to turn and leave, suddenly, King Kong's roar came from the lake.
The sound was no longer angry but somewhat urgent.
Hawke subconsciously turned his head to look again.
In his sight.
King Kong, half his body submerged in the lake, now had countless tentacles covered with sharp bristles and barbed feet on the exposed half of his body, appearing at some unknown time.
These tentacles covering King Kong's body were constantly exerting force, attempting to drag King Kong, who had just fallen into the lake, completely into the Water to drown him.
King Kong struggled hard in the Water, trying to break free from these increasingly tightening tentacles.
But…
It was useless.
Hawke watched as King Kong was about to be dragged into the Water, then, reacting, he instantly flashed twice, appearing in front of King Kong.
The unknown creature at the bottom of the lake seemed to sense danger, and a tentacle shot out of the Water, whistling as it lashed towards Hawke.
Hawke extended his right hand, firmly grabbing the tentacle. Immediately after, with his Little Universe burning, he pulled the tentacle with sudden force, performing an aerial over-the-shoulder throw, forcefully flinging the massive creature, which didn't want to lose its tentacle, out of the lake.
A colossal creature, about thirty-three meters long, a Swamp Giant Octopus unique to Skull Island, immediately broke through the Water.
The Swamp Giant Octopus, who had never expected to be dragged out of the Water by such a small thing, instantly panicked. First, it decisively severed the tentacle Hawke was holding, then its other tentacles suctioned onto King Kong's body with popping sounds, desperately trying not to really fly out.
Seeing this, Hawke used his telekinetic power as a blade.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
One after another, the Swamp Giant Octopus's tentacles clinging to King Kong were instantly severed. Until the last tentacle was also cut off, it crashed with a whistling rumble, heavily hitting the grassy bank.
King Kong took the opportunity to successfully stand up from the lake, then with a look of disgust, he pulled off the sticky, oozing tentacles that were wrapped around his upper body.
After doing all this, King Kong then turned his gaze to Hawke.
Hawke smiled slightly, looking at King Kong: "I'm here to find someone. I won't be staying here."
In his previous life, his favorite Ultraman was Tiga, and his favorite monster was King Kong.
This was also why he had only knocked King Kong away earlier and not injured him.
Standing on the Empire State Building and fighting planes, that was a man's ultimate dream.
And King Kong had achieved that.
King Kong seemed to understand Hawke's meaning, or perhaps it was because Hawke had just saved him. So, after staring at Hawke for a few seconds, he snorted a thick breath from his nose, then turned around, his thick body stirring the Water in the lake, and walked towards the Swamp Giant Octopus, which, after getting ashore, was not happy but instead bouncing in place, trying to get back into the Water.
Soon.
King Kong's thick foot directly stomped and exploded the Swamp Giant Octopus's equally massive head. With a loud squelch, a thick fluid instantly burst open beneath King Kong's foot.
The next second.
King Kong bent down, grabbed a broken corner of the Swamp Giant Octopus's tentacle, and with a pull, lifted the dead Swamp Giant Octopus. Then he turned his head again and looked at Hawke, who was floating above him at eye level. With seemingly intelligent and responsible eyes, he gave Hawke a warning, then carried the Swamp Giant Octopus and walked towards a deep canyon in the distance.
Not long after.
King Kong's figure completely disappeared into the deep canyon.
After watching King Kong disappear, Hawke also withdrew his gaze, then focused it on a primitive village-like settlement in the distance behind him.
He realized he had already found Peter.
He was in this village.
Hawke's mind stirred, and his figure instantly vanished. When he reappeared, he was already above the village.
In his sight.
Many natives with various mystical symbols tattooed on their bodies stood in the primitive village.
They were currently holding wooden weapons, standing vigilantly in front of a building in the village. When they saw Hawke suddenly appear, they were instantly startled and seemed somewhat at a loss.
The next second.
After a moment of panic among this group of primitive natives, someone suddenly shouted, and then, as the relatively well-dressed elder among them, holding many ornamental staffs, knelt before Hawke, the rest of the natives followed suit and knelt before Hawke.
While prostrating, they continuously mumbled something.
Hawke didn't understand, but it didn't prevent him from knowing that these natives were treating him as a God.
Unfortunately…
He wasn't a God yet, at least not now.
Hawke thought to himself, too lazy to correct these natives. He scanned the area, then his gaze fell on a woman standing at the entrance of the innermost stilt house in the village, gaping at him.
Although the woman's clothes had been changed to those of the native women, and even her face was covered with a lot of seemingly unwashed mud.
But looks could deceive.
Temperament would not.
Hawke's figure instantly vanished.
"I found you."
"Ah!"
Felicia, still hesitating whether the person floating in the air was Hawke, saw a blur before her eyes. Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of her, she instinctively twisted her waist and directly threw a whip kick at Hawke.
Hawke extended his right hand, pinched Felicia's kicking calf, stopping her attack, then withdrew his right hand.
He was not a pervert.
Furthermore…
A friend's wife is not to be bullied.
Hawke chuckled.
"This isn't the female CEO I know."
"…"
Felicia reacted, withdrew her right leg, and her mud-stained face showed a surprised expression.
"Hawke!"
"Yes, it's me."
"God."
Seeing Hawke nod with a smile, Felicia instantly became excited and directly hugged Hawke: "You're finally here! Peter said that once you knew we were missing, you would definitely find us."
Hawke laughed heartily and also hugged Felicia.
But it was also a brief embrace, immediately letting go.
Felicia then enthusiastically and happily welcomed Hawke into the stilt wooden house in front of them.
The wooden house was not large.
But it was very clean and gave a very warm feeling.
Hawke scanned the inside of the house, then his gaze fell on Felicia's face.
Felicia met Hawke's gaze, reached out and touched the mud on her face, and explained with a smile: "This is deliberate. In this place, these natives are not as civilized as outside."
Hawke nodded.
"Understood. Where's Peter?"
"He went hunting with the hunting party."
"Hunting?"
Hawke was slightly surprised to hear this, and looked at Felicia: "You entered a month ago, didn't you say you brought a month's worth of supplies?"
Felicia was also stunned by this.
"A month ago?"
"Hawke."
"Peter and I have been living here for a year."
"…"
