Chapter 201: Altered Destinies
After dealing with the Hell Dimension and Mephisto, Karl and Odin headed towards Earth, but Odin returned directly to Asgard after emerging from the dimensional layer. Karl could clearly feel Odin's divine power dissipating, meaning Odin's time was running out. He might pass away in less than a week. Karl sighed, then opened a portal back to his manor. Although Odin's impending demise was regrettable, there was nothing he could do.
Upon returning to the manor, Tony and the others were all there. Gamora had even pulled up a chair and was sitting directly outside the house, seemingly ready to eliminate anyone who attacked the manor at the first opportunity. Tony and the others gathered around Karl when they saw him return. Thor and Loki's eyes flashed with anxiety when they saw Odin hadn't returned with Karl.
"All-Father Odin has already returned to Asgard. I don't know if he told you, but his time is short. You should go back and spend time with him. Loki, don't wait until you truly lose him to regret it." Karl naturally noticed Thor and Loki's anxiety, then told them of Odin's whereabouts, and offered Loki a piece of advice.
"Alright, Sir Karl!"
"Karl, we'll be heading back now!"
Loki paused after hearing Karl's words, then replied. Thor then bid farewell to Karl, pulled Loki to the manor's entrance, and called out to Heimdall. Soon, a colorful beam of light descended from the sky, enveloped Thor and Loki, then shot back up into the sky, disappearing from the manor's entrance.
"The lord of hell, Mephisto, is dead. Did anyone attack while I was away?" After Thor and Loki left, Karl said to the people beside him, but seeing the undamaged manor, Karl already had a guess.
"What, you're already this powerful? You even killed the lord of hell? Oh my god! No one attacked here while you were gone, but the government did inquire if there was anything they could help with." Tony looked at Karl in disbelief after hearing his words, after all, that was the legendary Hell! Even the lord of hell was dead. But then he remembered that All-Father Odin had appeared before them earlier, and he felt relieved, then told Karl what had happened in his absence.
Peggy Carter, standing nearby, smiled bitterly after hearing Karl's words. She was still researching how to restrain him, while he had already killed the legendary lord of hell, Mephisto. Fortunately, she hadn't shown any hostility towards Karl and the others, otherwise, Dark Phoenix might have detected it and directly invaded her mind, knowing everything she thought. Then, whether she could even leave this manor would be a problem; Dark Phoenix would probably tear her apart alive.
"Alright, good. Tony, you guys go back first. You should also go clean yourselves up. Remember to pick up Pepper. No accommodation services tonight." Karl nodded, then said to Tony. Tony rolled his eyes at Karl, then called Pepper out and left with the Avengers. Of course, Black Widow didn't leave; she already lived there. Karl then called Wanda and the others downstairs.
Once all the members were present, Karl brought out the frozen Big Wanda from the Shadow World. May, Raven, and the others hesitated at this sight, as they all felt that this frozen woman looked very familiar, as if they had seen her somewhere before. Only Wanda's eyes flickered constantly. She was certain that the other party was another version of herself, because she felt the exact same abilities on her as she had, and she might even be her older self.
"She is Wanda from another universe, and also an older Wanda. The situation in her universe is different from ours. As a child, she was not rescued by me in Sokovialike in this universe. She and Pirot were likely discovered and rescued many days later, then taken by HYDRA for experimentation, awakening their abilities through the Mind Stone. Afterwards, to get revenge on Tony, Wandaused her abilities to control Hulk."
"Finally, Hulk went berserk and rampaged through the city, causing destruction. Tony, to subdue him, put on his anti-Hulk armor and fought in the city, resulting in countless casualties. At the same time, Wanda and Pirot, to continue their revenge on Tony, helped Tony create an out-of-control artificial intelligence to destroy humanity. Although they eventually realized their mistake and chose to help the Avengers stop it, this also led to Pirot's Death. Finally, Wanda fell in love with a robot created from the Mind Stone, and it also died. She successively lost her parents, brother, and lover. This is what was originally supposed to happen to both of you."
Karl looked at Wanda and Pirot and spoke slowly, simultaneously unfreezing Big Wanda. Wanda and Pirotlistened to Karl's words in disbelief. So this was their original destiny? Karl had changed their destiny. Wandacouldn't stop her tears from flowing. If they followed their original destiny, it meant Pirot would die!!
"Alright, you're awake, so get up. Do you still want to fight me? Tell me your purpose for coming to this universe, and how you got here." Karl said to the now unfrozen Big Wanda. May, Raven, Gwen, Helen Zhao, Yelena, and the others fell into contemplation after hearing Karl's words. If this was the case, had their own original destinies also been changed by Karl?
"Hmph! I came to this universe to prevent Pirot's Death, and to severely teach Tony a lesson. I accidentally came to this universe through Pym Particles, and it seems I can't go back..." Big Wanda snorted at Karl, then slowly said, and then looked at Little Wanda.
"Is it true that Karl said Pirot would originally die?" Little Wanda asked Big Wanda, her voice a little choked. Pirotlooked at Big Wanda a little awkwardly; he also wanted to know, after all, it was himself.
"Yes, Pirot would have originally died to save Hawkeye and a few citizens. You two are much happier than I am now, at least you have this guy to hold up a sky for you." Big Wanda looked at Little Wanda with a complex expression, and finally slowly told the truth, also indirectly proving that what Karl said was not wrong.
"Alright, you don't need to be conflicted. If you want to return to your original destinies, I can send you back. What do you say?" Karl said with a smile, looking at the women deep in thought, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.
Chapter 202: Aftermath
"What, are you willing to send us back?" Dark Phoenixasked Karl, sitting directly in his lap, her eyes revealing undisguised affection, while Mei and the others looked at Karl with a half-smile.
"Of course I'm not willing. I'd tie you all up and bring you back. Tell me what happened in the quantum channel. You should only be able to travel through time via the quantum channel, so how did you end up in this Universe?" Karl said with a smile to the women, then hugged Dark Phoenix and asked Big Wanda.
"I'm not sure either. While I was traveling through the quantum channel, I encountered something that looked like a black hole. I was uncontrollably sucked into it, and then I appeared on Earth. After that, I realized this wasn't my original Earth, so I knew I had most likely traveled between Universes." Big Wanda rolled her eyes at Karlafter seeing him holding a red-haired, big-breasted older sister in black silk, then slowly explained how she came to this Universe.
"So, you really came here by accident. What do you plan to do next? Find a way to go back? Tony hasn't developed that thing yet, so quantum travel is impossible right now." Karl said lightly to Big Wanda, informing her that this Universe's Tony hadn't developed a shuttle yet. Both of them knew that even if it were developed, she might not be able to go back. After all, as Karl said, the quantum channel can only travel through time. No one knows how to travel between Universes.
However, Karl had another idea. He suspected that Big Wanda's appearance in this Universe was not an accident, but intentional! This person was most likely Chthon. Wanda currently only has Heavenly Father Levelstrength, making it impossible for her to travel between Universes through Chaos Magic. Moreover, when Karlfought her, he found her use of Chaos Magic to be very crude, not even reaching Karl's level of using Kamar-Taj's magic.
It was even more impossible for her to travel between Universes through Chaos Magic. Coupled with the special nature of his own Universe, the other party might not even be able to come over. If there was someone powerful enough to make Wanda travel between Universes, it could only be Chthon, the source of Chaos Magic and the god of black magic! But Karl couldn't understand why, if it really was Chthon who sent Big Wanda over, what was his purpose?
"Karl, can she live with us for now? I want to ask her about my and Pirot's original fate." Little Wanda walked up to Karl and said, even Pirot looked at him expectantly.
"That depends on whether she's willing. If she is, the manor certainly has enough food for her." Karl ruffled Little Wanda's golden hair. Hearing Karl agree, Wandalooked at Big Wanda with wide, watery eyes. Big Wandafelt incredibly awkward being stared at by her younger self and could only agree... Karl's side was fine, but online opposition to the Avengers grew stronger and stronger, even to the point of demanding that the Avengers and superheroes get out of New York. At the same time, many people started protesting in the streets, and a Black mother even accused Tony and others in front of reporters. Her son died in Sokovia, all because of Tonyand others, she claimed. She added that her son was only in his twenties, just graduated from university! A bright future awaited him, but now he was dead!
The government was also under immense pressure. On one hand, because Karl had ties to the Avengers, they dared not hold the Avengers accountable. In the end, the Black Palace President personally went to Karl's manor to ask him what to do, as he couldn't ignore the public's voice indefinitely. Coupled with previous opposition, it was now beginning to affect the normal operation of New York City. Finally, Karl gave him a single sentence: the Avengers had nothing to do with him.
Hearing this, the President understood what he meant. It meant that the Avengers organization had nothing to do with him, but certain individuals within it did. At the same time, he didn't want to get involved in these matters, leaving it up to the President to handle. After receiving Karl's words, the President immediately returned to the Black Palace to hold a meeting. All the major senators, generals, judges, and organizations gathered to discuss how to deal with the Avengers.
Tony called Karl these past few days, but not to ask him to resolve the government and Avengers issue. Instead, Tony planned to marry Pepper. Karl naturally agreed, and stated that everyone in the manor would attend. Even Karl hadn't expected Tony to suddenly get married. Perhaps Howard and Maria had been urging him. Tony's status at home was the lowest now, especially after Howard and Maria's resurrection.
Both of them sided with Pepper, always favoring her and completely disregarding Tony's well-being. At the same time, Karl arrived at his island. Yan was still manufacturing and adding cores to the warship, not even coming out to see Karl. Karl, helpless, could only glance at the warship before returning. Concurrently, he injected the rule energy of the six infinity stones into the original self gem treasure map, discovering the true location of the self gem!
However, Karl was not in a hurry to find it, because the Avengers actually had a civil war, just like in the timeline. It was a disagreement between Tony and Carter. This time, just like in the timeline, the government asked Tonyand others to sign an agreement, but due to Karl's existence, this agreement was not as excessive as in the timeline. However, Carter, Barton, and Banner all refused to sign. As the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Carter naturally knew the government's intentions.
She couldn't let the government control such a terrifying force, otherwise the World might erupt in war again. She also knew Karl's attitude; he chose to completely ignore this matter because he was not a person bound by Earth's rules. No one would dare to ask Karl to sign such a thing. This time, with Karl not intervening, Tony and Rhodeswere directly beaten by Hulk alone.
This time, Tony was not wearing his giant vibranium armor, and even if he was, he would still be beaten by Hulk, because Hulk gets stronger the angrier he gets.
As a result, Tony was severely shaken even inside his vibranium armor. Afterwards, Barton directly announced his retirement, no longer an Avenger, and went home to take care of his children. Finally, Banner ran to Karl, and from then on, a gardener was added to the manor. Many people from the original timeline did not appear. Tonyultimately did not mention the Avengers, as if the Avengers had disbanded, but he also did not sign that agreement. The government, seeing this, found it hard to say anything, as the entire Avengers team was practically falling apart
Chapter 203: Tony's Grand Wedding
What's more, they couldn't expect Tony Stark to listen to them. Karl was backing him, and the only Avengerswithout a background were Barton and Banner. They originally wanted to control Banner, but Banner cleverly ran off to Karl's Villa to become a gardener. Hawkeyealso retired, and as for Carter, she was beyond their control. Natasha had long been Karl's subordinate, so this time, the government's efforts were all in vain!
As time passed, Tony's wedding date drew near. Over time, the online discussions had also faded, as such topics couldn't be debated indefinitely. Meanwhile, in a warehouse in Los Angeles, thousands of people were enveloped in Dark Energy, each muttering something unintelligible, and a strange symbol was drawn on the ground. No one noticed this scene, not even Stephen Strange of Kamar-Taj or Karl.
During this period, nothing major happened. Apocalypse, whom Charles had mentioned earlier, had not yet appeared, so there was no rush. The relationship between Big Wanda and Wanda in the Villa grew increasingly close; they were almost inseparable. Mei and Raven were busy preparing wedding gifts for Tony and Pepper. As the date approached, soon it was the day of Tony and Pepper's grand wedding. On this day, many people saw various luxury cars driving out of Manhattan.
Those living in the Villa district near Karl even saw a procession of rolls-royce cars leaving Karl's Villa. The entire motorcade majestically headed towards Tony and Pepper's wedding venue. Along the way, many other cars were also heading in the same direction.
On the other side, Tony stood at the entrance of the wedding venue with Howard, waiting for Karl. After all, only Karl could make a scoundrel like Tony personally come out to wait for him. Many people also saw Howard, and soon they realized he was Tony's father! But he had clearly died, yet now he was resurrected! It wasn't hard to guess that this was very likely the work of the Gold Saint, Karl. At the same time, they couldn't help but marvel at Karl's power; a man who had died over twenty years ago was resurrected. Many people began to harbor certain thoughts.
Boom — Boom — Boom — Boom!
A motorcade of rolls-royce cars approached from a distance, with an extremely cool black lamborghinileading the way! Seeing this, Tony and Howard knew that Karl and his group had arrived. They straightened their suits and walked a few steps forward. Soon, the motorcade stopped at the entrance of the wedding venue. At the same time, the white rolls-royce in the middle stopped at the end of the red carpet, carrying Karl, Dark Phoenix, and others.
Click — — — —!
The doors of the various rolls-royce cars opened automatically, and Karl and his group slowly stepped out. Tony and Howard went to greet them, while many reporters began to frantically photograph Karl. This was Karl's first appearance at a major event since becoming a Gold Saint. If it weren't for Tony Stark's wedding, they probably wouldn't have seen Karl at all.
"Not bad, but Karl, you're still not as handsome as me." Tony said smugly to Karl after he and Howard walked up to him. Karl hugged Tony and Howard, and then gave Tony a roll of his eyes.
"It's your wedding day, so I won't tease you. Today, you're the most handsome. Come on, let's go in." Karl said with a faint smile to Tony, not refuting him this time. Afterwards, Tony and Howard led Karl and the others into the wedding venue. Meanwhile, the surrounding people were surprised by the women who descended from the rolls-royce; every one of them was a stunner! But no one dared to have any other thoughts, because they didn't want to die yet.
Dark Phoenix, Mei, Raven, Gwen, Helen Zhao, Gamora, Big Wanda, Wanda, Pirot, Peter, Yelena, Natasha, Red Tank, and Banner also followed the three inside. Quicksilver also had Red Tank use his mimetic projection to enter. Once inside, they found everything exquisitely decorated, but it also exuded a nouveau riche vibe. Karlwas a little speechless after seeing it, then looked at Tonyand Howard.
"Hey Karl, don't look at me, this is what Tony wanted. I think it's hideous. Who puts us dollars everywhere for a wedding? It's a blasphemy to the ceremony! Tony is a bumpkin! You don't know how long I argued with him, but in the end, he won, since it's his own wedding." Howard, seeing Karl's gaze, found an outlet and began to furiously complain about Tony's aesthetics, even revealing an expression that suggested he didn't know him.
Karl didn't know what to say. Originally, Western weddings were primarily white, but Tony chose a gold-themed decor, then placed piles of gold and us dollars on the tables of all the guests. At the same time, there were also several iron man armors on display. Overall, it was a bit of a hodgepodge. Karl's mouth twitched. As long as Tony liked it, it was fine; after all, it wasn't his wedding.
"Shit, don't use your old-fashioned aesthetics to judge things now, okay? It's the 21st century! Not the 90s! This looks great, you just don't appreciate it!" Tony, hearing his dad complain about him, couldn't help but retort.
"Alright, alright, it's Tony's wedding, as long as he likes it, it's fine. It's not your wedding, Howard. There's no need to fuss over these things. As long as he and Pepper like it, it's good." Karl said with a smile, patting Howard's shoulder.
Tony looked at Howard with an expression that said, "See? I still won," which made Howard grit his teeth in frustration. Karl couldn't help but smile at this scene. Afterwards, Tony went to where Pepper was, while Karlled Dark Phoenix and the others to their seats. A large section of the wedding venue was reserved for Karl and his group, and the other guests naturally wouldn't be so tactless as to sit there. They understood that they simply weren't qualified to sit with Karl and his group.
At the same time, the staff hired by Tony served Karl and his group some food and drinks. Soon after, the wedding began. Tony, holding Pepper, who was wearing a white wedding dress, walked from the entrance to the stage in front of everyone. Howard was the officiant for Tony and Pepper. Originally, Western weddings usually involved a priest, but Tony thought that since Karl had even killed the lord of hell, God didn't seem so trustworthy anymore. So, he asked Howard to be his officiant!
Chapter 204: Skrulls
The subsequent ceremony was the same as in the West. Howard, Tony, and Pepper recited an oath, after which Howard declared them married. Howard then spoke, revealing that he was Tony's father. After he finished, he gestured for Karl to come up and say a few words, but Karl smiled and shook his head, refusing. Then Rhodeswent up, but after Rhodes went up, Karl noticed something was wrong, because Rhodes's body density wasn't that strong.
Boom——————!
Karl's aura directly erupted. Before anyone on the scene could react, Karl had already teleported onto the stage, grabbing Rhodes's neck with one hand. When Tony and the wedding guests reacted and saw Karl's actions, they were very confused. Many people knew that Rhodes was Tony's good friend and brother.
"You knew I would come, yet you still dared to appear here. You have quite some guts. Where is the real Rhodes?!" Karl said coldly to the fake Rhodes. The guests and Tony on the scene also heard Karl and realized that this Rhodes seemed to be fake! Tony also waved his hand at the vibranium armor displayed not far away. The armorquickly flew towards Tony and equipped itself on him. Since Karl said this Rhodes was fake, then it must be fake.
Moreover, Karl wouldn't treat Rhodes like this without reason. Although the two weren't very close, they had met a few times, and Karl hadn't shown any strong dislike for Rhodes. At the same time, Tony trusted Karlunconditionally, so he also put on his vibranium armorimmediately to prevent any accidents!
Boom——————!
Seeing that the fake Rhodes still wouldn't speak, Karldirectly activated his mental control. A massive mental force rushed into the fake Rhodes's mind, then directly controlled him to revert to his original form. It was a strange creature with green skin and pointed ears, no longer resembling a human. After seeing the creature's appearance, Karl immediately thought: Skrulls!
Their race was not from Earth, but from the Andromeda Galaxy. They could transform into anyone's appearance at will. He didn't expect them to appear on Earth, and even transform into Rhodes to approach Tony.
Whoosh——————!
The guests gasped in disbelief when they saw Rhodestransform into a green-skinned creature. Tony quickly came in front of Karl, his heart filled with rage that his good brother had been impersonated to attend his wedding. Karl used his psychic abilities on the Skrull, preparing to make him reveal their purpose for coming to Earth and where Rhodes was. Karl suddenly remembered that Nick Fury seemed to have frequent contact with them in the past.
"Why did you come to Earth? How many people have you impersonated? How many Skrulls are on Earth now? Where is the real Rhodes?" Karl glanced at Tony next to him, then asked the Skrull in front of him.
"We came to Earth to collect genes, especially the genes of the Gold Saints! We have only impersonated Rhodesand one government councilor. There are only 20 Skrullson Earth now! Rhodes is currently in our Base!" The Skrull controlled by Karl slowly answered Karl's questions.
"Where is your Base now?"
"Our Base is under the highest mountain on the east side of the New York outskirts!"
After Karl asked for the Skrull Base's location, he nodded to Tony. At the same time, he used his mental power to have Dark Phoenix and Mei take everyone back. Anyway, Tony's wedding was over. Then Karl grabbed the Skrull, opened a portal, and entered first, with Tony in his vibranium armor following closely behind.
Then Karl and Tony appeared on the mountain that the Skrull had just mentioned. Karl used his mental power to sense it and found that there was indeed a Base below. He looked at the Skrull in his hand, casually crushed him to Death, and then a shadow ninja appeared, taking him to the Shadow World to feed the Shadow Creatures.
Boom——————!
After that, Karl punched hard in the direction of the mountain below, directly piercing through the Base. Karland Tony slowly flew in, just in time to see Rhodes, who was being controlled, and a government councilor. Not far away, several green-skinned Skrulls held energy weapons, aiming at Karl and Tony. Karl didn't bother with them and directly used his telekinesis to kill them all. However, one Skrull did not die under the devastation of Karl's telekinesis.
His entire body transformed into the Hulk's appearance. Karl secretly thought, could it be that the other party fused with the Hulk's genes? Thinking of this, Karl smiled disdainfully. Even if you fused with the Hulk's genes, it would be useless. Even the Hulk couldn't cause any trouble in his hands.
Bang——————!
He threw a ball of blue energy at the expanding Skrull, which was Karl's Freezing Power. Just as the attack was about to hit the Skrull, a green energy mist appeared around him, and then he disappeared directly. Seeing this scene piqued Karl's interest. The ability he just used looked very similar to Red Devil's teleportation ability. He didn't expect the other party to be able to even fuse Mutant abilities.
However, Karl was only slightly surprised. This ability was still not enough for him. With his mental power attached to the Skrull, Karl instantly appeared in front of him after he teleported, and at the same time, punched him in the head.
Boom——————!
After a loud bang, the Skrull's head was blown off by Karl, and a large pit also appeared on the Base's ground. Then, shadow ninjas appeared again in the darkness, taking the Skrull's corpse into the Shadow World to feed the Shadow Creatures of the Shadow World. At the same time, Tony also rescued Rhodes and the councilor. When Rhodes learned that he had been impersonated to attend Tony's wedding, he swore, and also thanked Karl.
At this moment, a spaceship rushed out of Earth, flying madly towards the Universe. The one piloting this spaceship was the Skrull who had impersonated the government councilor. He knew that when the Gold Saintappeared at their Base, he understood that everyone inside would die, and he couldn't hide from the Gold Sainton Earth. He could only escape Earth! He immediately found their spaceship, then rushed out of Earth and flew towards the Universe!
Boom——————!
Just as he was celebrating his escape, two red lasers shot out from Earth, immediately hitting his spaceship. At the same time, the red laser also pierced through his chest. After being pierced by the red laser, the spaceship immediately exploded, and the Skrull also died inside!
Chapter 205: Apocalypse Awakens
The two red lasers were Karl's Cyclops beams. He naturally knew one was missing, so he had already started monitoring the entire World with the Mind Stoneand Soul Stone. He didn't expect him to jump out himself, flying a spaceship straight into the Universe. Karlnaturally used his Cyclops beams to blast him.
As for whether he would be hunted and retaliated against by other Skrulls for killing a Skrull? Karl didn't care at all. If they didn't come, then so be it. Otherwise, the entire Skrulls race would disappear from the Universe! The outside World also learned that Tony Stark's friend was impersonated by an alien to attend his wedding, and was eventually exposed by Karl, who then destroyed all remaining aliens on Earth. But this was far from the most explosive news.
The most explosive news was that Tony Stark's father, Howard Stark, had been resurrected! He even presided over Tony Stark and Pepper Potts's wedding! Many people online speculated that it was the Gold Saint: Karlwho resurrected him, but due to official intervention, this topic could no longer be discussed after a few hours. If anyone offended Karl over this matter, the entire country would face catastrophe!
At the same time, many people began to believe in Karl, feeling that he was more convincing than God! Not to mention how many times he had saved the Earth and its people, plus his ability to grant people longevity and resurrect the dead, in the eyes of many, he was a God! So, many places began to worship Karl.
On the other side, after Karl returned to the manor, he also discovered that a lot of golden energy was spreading towards him. At the same time, this golden energy was different from ordinary energy. After some understanding, he confirmed that this thing was the power of faith! If the power of faith was sufficient, one could even become a God with it! However, this kind of God also had drawbacks; once faith disappeared or decreased, he would fall from his divine position, and his own strength would also decline.
Karl naturally wouldn't use this power of faith. He sent all of it into the god plaque of the Heavenly Soldier Commander he had obtained earlier. Anyway, it was useless to him. Karl, on the other hand, had a leisurely few days, but Tony was not so lucky. Many people came to Tony asking if Karl could really resurrect the dead, and what price needed to be paid to resurrect them! Some magnates and wealthy individuals were willing to lose everything to resurrect someone.
However, Tony did not tell them, only saying that Karlcould not resurrect people now and asked them to leave. After all, he still remembered what they said to Karl when his own parents were resurrected. He didn't want any accidents to happen if Karl resurrected people again. Moreover, he was not Karl and could not agree on his behalf. At the same time, this also made many magnates and wealthy individuals resentful, but no one dared to lay a hand on Karl and Tony.
Karl, on the other side, just narrowed his eyes when he learned about this, saying nothing more. If anyone was truly ignorant, then he wouldn't be blamed for going on a killing spree. No one on Earth could stop him now! And at this moment, beneath a pyramid in Egypt, a blue-skinned person opened his eyes! Charles and others at the Mutant Academy also felt it. Afterward, the X-Men took a jet to Egypt. At the same time, Charles also called Karl.
Karl also promised Charles he would take action. A pyramid in Egypt suddenly exploded, and a humanoid blue-skinned person walked out from inside. He was the Mutant progenitor: Apocalypse! Also the first Mutant! Before he could leave, the X-Men appeared. Magnetoimmediately attacked Apocalypse as soon as he appeared, because Charles had already told them that the opponent's heart was filled with ambition and a desire to rule, and there was no chance for negotiation.
The X-Men originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but considering that the opponent was a Mutant, if another conflict between Mutants and ordinary people were to erupt, it would undoubtedly push Mutants into the spotlight. And Apocalypse couldn't possibly destroy and rule ordinary people, so once a major war broke out, Karl would certainly stand on the side of ordinary people, and then even more Mutants would die. Therefore, they could not let Apocalypse have the chance to start a war!
At the same time, it was also to prevent the Mutantpopulation from suffering large-scale Deaths! Moreover, news had already come from a laboratory that a serum to eliminate the Mutant gene had been developed. If large-scale conflicts between Mutants and ordinary people were to happen again, Mutants really might disappear into the long river of history. Even if Karl didn't intervene, once the serum to eliminate the Mutant gene was mass-produced, they would have no chance of winning!
Boom— — — — — —!
Magneto manipulated steel to send Apocalypse flying, but although Apocalypse was injured, his wounds healed even faster than Wolverine's, and he didn't even shed a drop of blood. When facing Cyclops and Storm's attacks, a transparent shield appeared in front of him, directly blocking all attacks. Neither Cyclops maximizing his power nor Storm summoning all the surrounding lightning could break the shield in front of Apocalypse!
Then Colossus rushed towards Apocalypse, preparing for close combat, but when he reached Apocalypse, he suddenly felt his feet lose gravity, and he was buried underground as if sinking into quicksand. This was one of Apocalypse's abilities, matter liquefaction! He could also control sand. No matter how Colossus struggled, he couldn't break free.
Because the sand burying his body was soft, like quicksand, even with all his strength, he couldn't break free. This just happened to counter Colossus's ability! Iceman, Shadowcat, and Wolverine also rushed towards Apocalypse. Iceman used his ability to attack Apocalypse, while Shadowcat went to rescue Colossus, and Wolverine extended his adamantium claws to attack Apocalypse.
Bang— — — — — —!
Boom— — — — — —!
Apocalypse's shield directly blocked Iceman's ability, and he used telekinesis to control Wolverine in mid-air. He even tried to control Wolverine with his super strong psionic power, but it was blocked by Charles's psychic ability. Afterward, he threw Wolverine away. He now had a new target; as long as he exchanged his soul with the other party's, he could gain the other party's psychic ability, and then he could control the entire World to submit to him through psychic ability and super strong psionic power!
So he planned to find that Mutant with psychic ability, and the fact that these people could appear to stop him meant that they were related to that Mutant with psychic ability...
Chapter 206 Apocalypse - Death
Then, Apocalypse directly unleashed his true power, sending Cyclops, who was attacking him from not far away, flying with a single blow.
At the same time, he dragged Storm, who was conjuring lightning in the sky, down, and a surge of telekinesis slammed into her body, sending her crashing into the ruins of the pyramid.
Apocalypse's super strong mental power and telekinesis combined were truly something these Level 2 and 3 Mutants could not resist.
Meanwhile, Magneto once again manipulated steel to attack Apocalypse!
This time, Apocalypse did not prepare to withstand Magneto's attack head-on, but instead vanished from his original position, instantly appearing behind Magneto.
His right hand unleashed a massive amount of energy, striking towards Magneto.
Fortunately, Magneto was experienced; he used the surrounding steel to block the attack and simultaneously controlled the steel beneath his feet to elevate his position.
A second later, that energy attack struck where Magnetohad been.
A large hole appeared in the steel that had blocked the attack.
Apocalypse did not give up there, but instead stirred up the surrounding sand, forming a sandstorm tornado that rushed towards Magneto and the others!
Magneto glanced at the several fallen individuals and, out of helplessness, could only use steel to form a protective shield to defend against the attack, otherwise, they might very well be torn apart by the tornado.
Although Wolverine was still full of vigor after being attacked by Apocalypse, his ability was only self-healing.
In the face of this kind of superpower battle, he could do nothing; he couldn't even get close to Apocalypse's body!
Meanwhile, Cyclops and Storm also came to Magneto's side, helping him share the pressure.
Iceman also created an ice wall to block the tornado sandstorm!
And the surrounding sky turned dark and oppressive after Apocalypse stirred up the sandstorm and tornado.
Bang!
Boom!
While Magneto and the others were fending off the sandstorm, Apocalypse hovered in the air, gathering more sand to attack them.
Cyclops and the others continuously attacked the sand attacks Apocalypse conjured to alleviate the pressure on Magneto and Iceman.
On the other side, Charles also saw this scene through Wolverine's vision, feeling very anxious and wondering why Karl hadn't arrived yet.
However, he couldn't rush him, so he could only worry anxiously within the academy.
Boom!
At this moment, a man wearing gold cloth with six infinity stones on his chest appeared in the sky.
He effortlessly dispelled the sandstorm Apocalypse had formed.
The person who arrived was Karl.
Magneto and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Karl appear.
In such a short time, Apocalypse had already overwhelmed all of them.
Moreover, this was a desert, not a city, so there wasn't as much metal for Magneto to manipulate, otherwise, they wouldn't have been so disheveled.
Karl drew a circle in the air, and a blue Mars appeared.
Soon, a portal appeared in the air in front of Karl, and Raven walked out from inside.
Karl supported her with telekinesis.
Karl motioned for Raven to transform into Apocalypse's appearance to see if she could acquire his abilities.
"Only one ability, none of the others," Raven said to Karl, shaking her head slightly in disappointment.
Karl had originally wanted to see if Raven could transform into Apocalypse's appearance, thereby allowing Raven to use all of Apocalypse's abilities, but it had failed.
"It's okay, darling, you go back first," Karl said, stroking Raven, who had already returned to her original appearance.
Afterward, Raven nodded and walked back into the portal Karl had just opened.
At the same time, Apocalypse looked over with confusion; he could feel that the man in gold cloth was very strong.
Boom!
After Raven entered the portal, Karl closed it and launched an attack on Apocalypse, giving him no chance to speak.
He flashed in front of Apocalypse and punched him in the head.
At the same time, the power of the six infinity stones on his body erupted with Karl's fist.
Apocalypse felt a terrifying energy sweeping towards him and didn't even think; he immediately used his ability to leave his original position.
His original position had already been hit by Karl, creating a hundred-meter-wide pit.
Then, Karl looked at Apocalypse, who was not far away, and attacked him again.
This time, his mental power locked onto Apocalypse; no matter where he went, Karl could hit him.
Seeing this, Apocalypse also used his abilities to attack Karl.
Boom!
When Apocalypse's abilities collided with Karl's energy, Karl undoubtedly had the upper hand.
Apocalypse was hit squarely by Karl's attack this time; half of his body exploded, but it quickly recovered to its original state.
At this moment, Apocalypse actually had the idea of escaping.
The pressure the opponent gave him was too great; since his birth, he had never encountered such a powerful opponent, so he had already conceived the idea of retreating.
But how could Karl let him succeed?
At this moment, Apocalypse was only at the peak of Sub-Heavenly Father Level.
After Karl put on the gold cloth with the six infinity stones, he possessed Pseudo-Singular Universe Levelstrength.
If Apocalypse escaped from his grasp, Apocalypse would probably boast about it for a lifetime.
Crack!
After Karl sensed that Apocalypse wanted to escape, he directly used the Mirror Dimension.
Then, Karl and Apocalypse disappeared from the sight of Magneto and the others.
Karl didn't want to run around the World with Apocalypse; now, no matter how much Apocalypseteleported within the Mirror Dimension, he couldn't leave.
Bang!
A colorful energy directly pierced Apocalypse's chest and blasted him to the edge of the Mirror Dimension.
He frantically used his teleportation but found he couldn't leave here.
The wounds on his body also began to heal.
Although Apocalypse had many abilities, they were diverse but not refined.
He could fly, enhance abilities, teleport, instant move, reorganize matter, shield, telekinesis, control sand, and so on.
Boom!
This time, Karl did not directly kill Apocalypse; he wanted to keep Apocalypse's corpse for Samuel to research, to see if he could create a serum to enhance Raven's abilities.
At the same time, he mobilized the Mind Stone and Soul Stone to launch a mental attack on Apocalypse.
Although Apocalypse's mental power was not weak, he was powerless against Karl and the two Infinity Stones' attacks.
He could only watch as his mind was breached by Karl's mental power, and his body was controlled.
Stab!
The controlled Apocalypse had his heart directly crushed by Karl, then frozen with Freezing Power, and thrown into the Shadow World.
Karl closed the Mirror Dimension, reappeared in front of Magneto and the others, and then vanished with a flash...
Chapter 207: The Death-Seeking Chaebols and High-Ranking Officials
Magneto and the others exchanged glances and prepared to leave. Karl appeared, but the blue Mutant did not, which implied a lot. After Magneto and the others returned to their jet, they headed towards the Mutant Academy.
Once Karl returned home, he took out the treasure map of the self gem he had previously obtained. After injecting energy from the six infinity stones, the location of the self gem was revealed. It seemed to be somewhere in the Nine Realms! However, Karl didn't know exactly where, so he planned to visit Asgard in a few days.
Meanwhile, many chaebols and wealthy individuals had begun to unite. They planned to use the populace and the economies of various countries to force Karl to resurrect people for them. They also bribed high-ranking officials in many countries; even several senators in America were swayed. They were completely captivated by the beautiful blueprint laid out by the chaebols and magnates, especially since it involved resurrection! At the same time, HYDRA also began to use the high-ranking officials they had infiltrated in various countries to cooperate with these chaebols and wealthy individuals.
Their eyes were now completely blinded by profit, and they fantasized about controlling Karl and governing the world in the future. Secret organizations in various countries began preparing to capture those close to Karl; even George and Helen were on the list. This was because the interests involved with Karl were too vast—he could grant people longevity and resurrect the dead! And Karl was extremely protective of those around him, so as long as they captured the people close to him, they would surely be able to control him.
The reason they hadn't dared to act before was because Karl's strength was too immense, and they feared he would directly destroy the Earth. Now, they understood that Karl would not destroy the Earth. With the means to resurrect the dead now available, how could they not go mad? People would consider 20% profit, agree to 50%, act for 100%, go crazy for 300%, and do anything for 500%!
In the East, many high-ranking officials in China also began to voice opinions about taking action against Karl, but they were all suppressed by the old man. He could only sigh, these people were all blinded by the huge profits before their eyes. Take action against Karl? Don't they know how terrifying he is? He punched through Mars, fought in space, and single-handedly held off a city. If he can save, he can naturally destroy. Thinking of the invitations sent by many Western countries earlier, he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. It seems the world order is about to change!
The next day, various anti-Karl opinions appeared online. At the same time, New York City citizens began to protest in the streets, demanding that Karl resurrect their deceased relatives. This time, the public opinion was unprecedentedly massive, and many websites even crashed! However, Karl was unaware of all this, but he felt a bit uneasy.
Karl, who was originally sunbathing in the manor, suddenly looked serious. With his power, he wouldn't feel uneasy for no reason. In an instant, the gold cloth donned his body. Then Karl began to use the Time Stone. Although the current timeline was already blurred, Karl could still see some possible events from it. This was something Karl discovered after obtaining the Time Stonefrom Ancient One. But this time, he couldn't see anything.
"Is it because the original timeline has deviated too much?" Karl muttered to himself, sitting alone in the garden, with the green energy of the Time Stoneemanating around him. Karl sighed and put away his saint cloth. Just then, Karl's phone rang.
Ding—ding—!
"Hello, Charles, is there something you need to call me about?" Karl saw Charles's call, answered it, and then asked Charles on the other end with a bit of confusion. He usually wouldn't call him.
"It's like this, Mr. Karl. Last night, when I was using my psychic abilities to locate Mutant, I overheard some conversations. The major magnates, chaebols, and governments of Earth have begun to unite. They are planning to target the people around you, hoping to control you to achieve their perceived interests. Many people are doing this because you can resurrect the dead... Now, high-ranking officials in many countries around the globe are uniting," Charles said calmly to Karl after hearing his words.
"Alright, I understand. You will receive your reward after this is over." Karl narrowed his eyes after hearing Charles's words, then hung up after speaking to Charlesexpressionlessly. At this moment, Karl was naturally filled with rage. He didn't expect that even now, there were still people looking for death. If that's the case, then he would satisfy them!
Subsequently, countless shadow ninjas appeared around the manor and then disappeared inside. At the same time, at least a few thousand shadow ninjas appeared in the shadows of May, Raven, Gwen, Helen Zhao, and others. Even George and Helen were no exception. This was also to protect them, and if anything happened, they would be directly taken into the Shadow World, regardless of the individuals' opinions.
At the same time, he also used the Mind Stone and Soul Stone to leave mental imprints on them. If anything happened, Karl would know. He also used his mental power to summon Dark Phoenix, Gamora, and Big Wanda.
"I received news that soon, people will make a move against us. The three of you, pay attention. If they attack, kill them immediately. Also, make sure to protect the manor," Karl said slowly to Dark Phoenix and the two others.
"Who is it?! I'll kill them!" When Dark Phoenix heard Karl's words, the Phoenix Force uncontrollably erupted from her body. Her red eyes also turned blackish-red. This was the state of Dark Phoenix when she was enraged and insane!
"No need, I will go. You just need to protect the manor and May and the others. If the enemy uses large-scale weapons, it's fine even if you directly destroy all of New York," Karl said gently to Dark Phoenix, stroking her hair as he watched her furious appearance.
At the same time, Big Wanda and Gamora next to him also nodded, indicating that they understood. Big Wandahad now integrated into this big family. After feeling the care and warmth she had never experienced before, she would not allow anyone to destroy it! Even Gamora's eyes flashed with purple light.
"Tony, many countries are preparing to make a move against me and those around me. I'm about to go on a killing spree. You prepare to help America rebuild. If you have the guts, you can also try to stop me!" After speaking to Dark Phoenix, Karl picked up his phone, called Tony, said a sentence, and then hung up.
Boom—!
At the same time, Karl's gold cloth reappeared on him, and a golden beam of light appeared in the sky. Then Karl soared into the sky and disappeared. He was not one to sit idly by. Since he knew, he naturally prepared to strike first!
Chapter 208 The Land of Cherry Blossoms - Annihilation
At the same time, Quicksilver activated the alert mode for the Zero Manor. Even Yan was recalled to the manor by Karl. Gwen, May, Raven, and everyone else outside were all messaged by Quicksilver to return. After Tony received Karl's call, he hung up after saying one sentence. It took him a second to realize what Karl had said, and he immediately ran to his underground workshop. No matter what Karl was planning, he had to go see.
Meanwhile, May, Gwen, and Raven, who were in a car, were attacked. An endless stream of people launched attacks on their vehicle. The moment they were attacked, their vibranium battle suit was equipped. At the same time, shadow ninjas directly pulled them into the Shadow World, giving them no chance to refuse. George and Helen were also swiftly brought into the Shadow Worldby shadow ninjas, heading towards Karl's manor.
On the other side, Pirot and Peter, who were at an amusement park, were also attacked by unknown assailants. Fortunately, both of them were quite strong now. Pirot instantly took Peter away. After they appeared in an alley, countless shadow ninjas emerged around them, immediately bringing them into the Shadow World. Even Natasha, who was outside, was attacked. Luckily, Karl had not overlooked her; there were many shadow ninjas within her shadow, who also brought her into the Shadow World at the first opportunity.
The roads leading to Karl's manor were filled with various armored vehicles, Red Tanks, and so on. The high-ranking officials of America also learned that Karl had left the manor, so they began to prepare to brazenly attack the manor. Karl was currently above Sakura Country. Charlescould know these messages through his psychic abilities, and Karl naturally knew through mind control and the Mind Stone. Sakura Country was the first to plan to target Karl, and their inner thoughts were not simply to control Karl, but also harbored dirty and malicious intentions towards Karl's wife and others.
Boom——————!
Karl, wearing the gold cloth embedded with the six infinity stones, appeared above Sakura Country and directly unleashed his Pseudo-Singular Universe Levelpower. Because Sakura Country had the dirtiest intentions among those planning to target Karl, Karl immediately went above Sakura Country. The rage in his heart was ready to be completely unleashed upon Sakura Country. Karl was prepared to directly destroy the entire Sakura Country; as for the citizens of Sakura Country, that was not something he needed to consider.
Boom——————!
Bang——————!
A golden great seal in Karl's hand began to expand, and when it reached its limit, Karl immediately controlled it to attack the cities of Sakura Country. This was precisely the heaven-overturning seal. Each time the heaven-overturning seal struck, a city in Sakura Country was flattened, and all the people within it died, with blood flowing like rivers! At the same time, the government of Sakura Country also discovered Karl attacking them and dispatched their most advanced fighter jets to attack Karl.
Boom——————!
The fighter jets were blasted by the energy Karl emitted before they even got close. The energy of a Pseudo-Singular Universe Level power meant crashing into it would be Death. The government of Sakura Countrywatched as Karl calmly destroyed one city after another. Finally, the Prime Minister of Sakura Country gritted his teeth and directly launched a nuclear missile! As Sakura Country launched the nuclear missile, both Eastern and Western detection systems issued alarms. After discovering that it was a nuclear missile launched by Sakura Country, satellites were immediately deployed to investigate.
Seeing that the target of the attack was Karl, emotions such as worry, excitement, joy, anticipation, and panic spread among various countries. They did not know if humanity's strongest weapon could destroy the Earth's strongest individual, the Gold Saint: Karl! But at the same time, they secretly hoped it could destroy Karl, yet also worried that if Karl were destroyed, they would not be able to control Karl to resurrect people.
Boom——————!
As the nuclear missile struck Karl, it was actually because Karl simply did not dodge and allowed the nuclear missile to hit him. After a huge explosion, a mushroom cloud appeared above Sakura Country. While everyone was wondering if Karl had died, a golden light flashed the next moment, and Karl appeared completely unharmed in the view of various satellites. Karl looked indifferently at Sakura Country below, and the energy on his body began to condense.
Boom——————!
Then, Karl condensed the energy of the six infinity stonesand punched Tokyo, Sakura Country. Subsequently, everything in Tokyo was pulverized into dust by the energy; at the same time, both people and buildings were completely vaporized by the energy. Simultaneously, the entire region of Sakura Country began to shake, and this island nation actually started to sink! At the same time, a tsunami over two hundred meters high began to appear around it, heading towards Sakura Country. Before long, the entire Sakura Country was submerged.
At the same time, the tsunami also swallowed the last remnants of the island nation. All 122 million citizens of Sakura Country, including the Prime Minister and the Emperor, perished! This was absolutely the largest number of Deaths since the end of World War II, and also the only country annihilated by a single person since the end of World War II. Seeing this scene, the high-ranking officials of various countries felt a surge of fear, because they still did not know why Sakura Country had been attacked by Karl.
Suddenly, someone said that it seemed Sakura Countryhad first proposed to harm those around Karl. Upon hearing this, all the high-ranking officials began to break out in a cold sweat. They continuously prayed that it wasn't about this matter, hoping Karl didn't know about it. But thinking of the subordinates currently attacking Karl's manor, it seemed it was already too late.
Karl emotionlessly glanced at the sky. With his perception, he naturally knew that satellites were observing him. This glance startled the high-ranking officials of various countries even more. When the Eastern high-ranking officials saw Karl annihilate the entire Sakura Country, with all 122 million citizens perishing, they suddenly realized how foolish they had been before, almost bringing a true national catastrophe upon their country! Fortunately, the Chairman had not agreed at all, and even ordered no one to interfere in this matter.
On the other side, inside Karl's manor, Tony was directly blocked outside after arriving. Dark Phoenix simply wouldn't let him in, because she had heard Karl's words earlier, so no one could enter except for those brought back by the shadow ninjas. At the same time, Dark Phoenix was now in charge of the manor; even Quicksilver tacitly agreed. It should be known that previously, May was in charge of everything except for Karl, but May did not feel unhappy. After all, her strength was not strong, and she also knew that various countries wanted to act against Karl and them...
Chapter 209: Battle at the Manor
They also knew that Karl August Zhang had gone to deal with them, but they had no idea that Karl August Zhanghad directly destroyed Sakura Country. At this moment, Tony, inside his armor, was filled with anxiety because he had heard from Karl August Zhang's tone earlier that he seemed truly enraged. And after seeing the vast army in the distance, Tony was at a loss for words.
Boom ——————!
Dark Phoenix floated in the air and casually swatted Tonyaway. At the same time, the approaching armored vehicles, jeeps, and Red Tanks began to attack the manor. Dark Phoenix used the Phoenix Force to control all the jeeps and then crushed them all, killing everyone inside. It was like an explosion of pulp, with their blood and body remains splattering out. Dark Phoenix watched this scene indifferently. Below, Big Wanda also slowly flew up, controlling all the incoming Red Tank shells and sending them back.
Boom ——————!
All the Red Tanks were instantly destroyed by their own shells. At the same time, the sound of fighter jets echoed in the sky. These were the most advanced active American military fighter jets, which began dropping missiles on the manor. But with Dark Phoenix and Big Wanda present, how could they possibly land? Dark Phoenix alone controlled all the missiles, and at the same time, even the four fighter jets were pulled down. In a short while, they were torn down by Dark Phoenix and thrown towards the army on the ground!
The missiles dropped by the armor were also thrown in that direction, causing a large number of soldiers to be crushed by the fighter jets. At the same time, the missiles even destroyed the surrounding villa areas. At this point, Tony knew that the situation was irreversible. They had attacked Karl August Zhang's manor, and when Karl August Zhang returned, something big was bound to happen. He also activated his armor and began attacking the army outside. After all, Karl August Zhang was his brother and benefactor, and he couldn't stand by and watch an army attack his manor.
Boom ——————!
Peggy Carter, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., had also received orders from the World Security Council to lead a team to arrest Karl August Zhang's family. But she knew deep down that this was a suicidal act. Thinking of how Karl August Zhang had even killed the lord of hell before, and now America was blinded by greed to go against him, Peggy Carter didn't know what to say. She could only feel sorrow for the high-ranking officials of this country and pity for the common people.
If a major war broke out, it would certainly affect the populace, and innocent people would naturally be implicated. The American Government, finding that they still hadn't taken down the people inside the manor, continued to send more troops and weapons. Red Tanks began to rumble through Manhattan, and various armored vehicles and weapons were rapidly transported towards the manor.
Boom ——————!
At this moment, America's army had already begun to use large-scale weapons. Apart from nuclear bombs not yet being brought out, they had deployed all the weapons they could use, including a considerable number of Jericho missiles they had stockpiled in the past. All the shells they fired at the manor were blocked, with most of them being thrown back at them by Dark Phoenix and Big Wanda.
Roar ——————!
Stimulated, Banner finally couldn't help but transform. Then, with a big leap, he ran out of the manor and into the center of the army, starting a massacre, smashing everything he saw! Whether it was people, armored vehicles, Red Tanks, jeeps, etc., people were directly smashed into pulp by Hulk's big green fists.
Bang ——————!
Red Tank Karl August Zhang saw that Hulk had actually gone out, so he also opened the door and ran out. At the same time, red magical energy surged around him, and he charged towards the Red Tanks, picking up speed and increasing his impact force. After crashing into the Red Tanks, the impact force directly destroyed all the Red Tanks on the entire road. Even when Red Tanks behind him fired at Red Tank, after one shot, its cannon barrel was twisted off by Hulk, who then used it to flatten the Red Tank.
As the battlefield expanded, almost all the villa areas around the manor became ruins. At the same time, various buildings not far away were also destroyed, and the fighting was about to reach densely populated areas. The government seemed to have gone mad, constantly sending troops here, and armies from other countries also began to resist, launching various missiles at the manor!
Boom ——————!
At this moment, Dark Phoenix also went berserk. Fiery red energy began to emanate around her, disintegrating all the shells attacking the manor. Afterwards, she even controlled a skyscraper in the city center, making it rise from the ground, regardless of the lives of the people inside. She directly used it to smash into the armies of various countries, and at the same time, used the Phoenix Force to disintegrate them. Countless soldiers, armored vehicles, jeeps, and weapons were all disintegrated by the Phoenix Force, but the armies continued to pour in.
Tony couldn't help but smile bitterly after seeing Dark Phoenix start to massacre indiscriminately. He had no power to stop her. If he went up there, he might also get beaten up and thrown out. Watching the people inside the building constantly wailing, Tony could only go and rescue them himself, constantly cursing the American high-ranking officials for their pig-headedness.
The battle here was naturally witnessed by many people. At the same time, reporters were broadcasting live from a distance. Many people finally understood how powerful Karl August Zhang and the others were. Subsequently, a news report appeared on many netizens' phones: Gold Saint: Karl August Zhang destroyed the entire country of Sakura Country this afternoon. All 122 million citizens within its territory died, and the mainland of Sakura Country completely sank. Is Karl August Zhang really a hero?
Tony also received a report from Jarvis He finally knew where Karl August Zhang had gone. He had actually directly wiped out the entire Sakura Country! He had destroyed an entire country, and 122 million people within it! Tony could hardly believe that Karl August Zhang would do such a thing, but thinking about how various countries wanted to lay hands on the people around Karl August Zhang, given Karl August Zhang's personality, this was indeed something he would do. Afterwards, he silently began to rescue the people inside the building.
Even May, Raven, Gwen, Helen Zhao, George, Helen, Wanda, and others in the manor learned about this matter. None of them had expected Karl August Zhang to directly annihilate a country, but Raven was clearly more accepting than them. Besides her surprise, she did not show an expression of disbelief. Since she followed Karl August Zhang, she was his person. No matter what he did, she would not mind, nor would she care whether it was right or wrong...
Chapter 210: Nuclear Missile Incoming!
George, being a police officer, was the most incredulous, as Karl had killed 122 million people. How could he possibly accept it so quickly? Even May found it unbelievable, as if Karl was a stranger to her. Gwen felt the same way; her heart was originally full of a sense of justice, and now it was as if she was meeting Karl for the first time. However, Helen Zhao, Wanda, Pirot, Peter, Yelena, and Yan were only slightly surprised.
They didn't feel strongly about it. Helen Zhao knew the faces of those who had sought investment from her, and now she only recognized Karl, not caring if he was right or wrong. Wanda and Pirot cared even less about Karl's actions; if not for Karl, their fates might have been completely different. They had all learned from Big Wanda what would have happened to them, so they were very grateful for Karl's presence.
Peter, having spent a long time with Pirot and experiencing Karl's exceptional kindness, naturally believed everything Karl did was right. Yelena was already accustomed to seeing death; although 122 million people was a huge number, Karl would only kill them all if they truly enraged him, potentially leading to the destruction of a country. Therefore, Yelena and Natashawere merely surprised and didn't feel it was inappropriate.
Yan's reaction was calmer than anyone else's, only showing a slight surprise. She had lived for seven thousand years and had likely killed more creatures than the total population of Earth. After all, each time she judged evil, she would directly destroy planets. The wars between angels and demons had affected countless planets! So, for her, there was nothing particularly special about it.
Moreover, Karl's identity was different; he was the strongest person on Earth. Even if he wanted to rule the world, no one could stop him. As for Dark Phoenix, Big Wanda, and Gamora, they cared even less. Dark Phoenixonly had Karl in her eyes. Big Wanda, having lost her parents, brother, and lover in another universe, had even wanted to destroy the world herself, let alone merely annihilating a country. As for Gamora, there was no need to mention her; she had devoured countless planets.
The creatures within them numbered in the hundreds of millions, so she didn't care if Karl had killed 122 million people. At the same time, Dark Phoenix sensed the emotions of May, Gwen, George, and others. After nodding to Big Wanda, she slowly descended.
"I don't care how you view Karl, but you must consider why he did it. In this world, the only reason Karl would be enraged enough to destroy a country is because of us. Karl deeply cares about the people around him, and many know this. Possessing the six infinity stones, Karl naturally knew what the high-ranking officials of that country were thinking. Yet, Karl still destroyed them. Think about what could make Karl so furious. Seventy percent of Asia's adult films originate from Sakura Country. If you are dissatisfied, you can say so directly. I will erase your memories of this period and let you return to your original, unchanged lives."
Dark Phoenix spoke coldly to May, Gwen, George, Helen, and others. After hearing Dark Phoenix's words, everyone fell into contemplation, then one by one, they lowered their heads. Even George lowered his head, not knowing what to say. If someone thought that way about his daughter and wife, he would also do everything to kill them! Dark Phoenix gave them a cold glance, said nothing more, then ascended again, launching an attack on the army outside!
Boom——————!
At the same time, America was preparing to deploy a nuclear missile. Jarvis, upon detecting the incoming nuclear missile, frantically tried to stop it. If the nuclear missile truly exploded at the manor, regardless of whether the people inside would be harmed, he knew Karl would definitely destroy all of America!
At the same time, Quicksilver also detected the incoming nuclear missile and immediately relayed the message to Dark Phoenix, Big Wanda, and Gamora. Dark Phoenixscoffed; a nuclear missile was useless against her. It would be disintegrated before it even exploded. Big Wanda could rewrite the nuclear missile so it could never explode. Gamora could even eat nuclear missiles like snacks, one bite at a time!
Ultimately, Tony failed to stop the incoming fighter jet because an escort fighter jet next to it directly rammed him, knocking him away and preventing him from taking down the nuclear missile. He also couldn't attack the fighter jet carrying the nuclear missile; if the jet exploded and detonated the nuclear missile, he himself would be doomed!
Whoosh——————!
Just as the fighter jet launched the nuclear missile and was preparing to turn around and leave, it found that no matter how hard it tried, it remained in place. Dark Phoenix had already appeared in front of the fighter jet. At the same time, she used the Phoenix Force to control both the fighter jet and the nuclear missile. Dark Phoenixshowed a cold smile, then disintegrated the jet's activation device. All five fighter jets lost power and were thrown towards the city by Dark Phoenix, along with the nuclear missile.
"NO!!!" Tony, seeing this scene, desperately shouted at Dark Phoenix, but Dark Phoenix ignored him, still throwing the nuclear missile into the city. At the same time, the citizens in the city and the government of America also saw the nuclear missile being thrown into the city.
Boom——————!
After a huge explosion, in Tony's despair, a mushroom cloud rose over New York City. At the same time, all the skyscrapers in New York began to collapse. Everyone within a ten-kilometer radius of the nuclear missile's explosion was instantly vaporized, and buildings turned to dust under the high temperature and blast force. Even Karl's manor here was almost affected, but fortunately, Big Wanda immediately raised a protective barrier! This saved the manor from being impacted... Karl was currently unaware that New York City had been destroyed by a nuclear missile. He was now over the territory of Kangaroo Country, with energy spreading around him. Karl did not hesitate and directly launched an attack on Kangaroo Country. Kangaroo Country also responded powerfully by launching all of its national nuclear missiles, but Karl was not going to stand there and let them hit him.
Boom——————!
The concentrated energy struck a city in Kangaroo Country, and the city was directly destroyed by Karl. This was not even his full-power attack, barely a casual strike after he put on his saint cloth. At the same time, the nuclear missiles had already arrived in front of Karl. Karl then drew a circle in the air, a portal opened, and all the nuclear missiles entered the portal. The other end of the portal was a city in Kangaroo Country...
