Chapter 211: All Nuclear Bombs Detonated
Boom — — — — — —!
Boom — — — — — —!
Boom — — — — — —!
Major cities were successively destroyed by nuclear bombs, and even many high-ranking government officials died under their own country's nuclear bombs.
As for the citizens, they were countless.
Subsequently, Karl channeled the energy of the six infinity stones and launched an attack on the capital of Kangaroo Country.
Boom — — — — — —!
The entire capital of Kangaroo Country was blown up by Karl, and all the high-ranking officials and the head of the Kangaroo Country government within the capital died.
After Karl's strike, the capital began to sink, and before long, the entire capital became a giant lake.
However, Karl did not stop there; the six infinity stonesbegan to flash again, and Karl also took out his golden cudgel.
With the energy of the six infinity stones attached to it, he struck down at the entire territory of Kangaroo Country.
Bang — — — — — —!
The territory of Kangaroo Country, receiving Karl's attack, began to split and simultaneously started to sink from the cracks.
Before long, the entire plate seemed to have been submerged.
Countless citizens of Kangaroo Country wailed, while Karlwatched this scene with cold eyes.
Since a decision was made, they should bear the corresponding price.
Don't say that the citizens are innocent; they are just weak.
Moreover, the Marvel Universe is inherently a Worldwhere the strong prey on the weak.
Furthermore, Karl was no longer a person bound by Earth's rules.
To kill you is to kill you; to destroy your country is to destroy your country.
Why do so many reasons matter? Why does it matter if you are innocent?
If they hadn't provoked him, everyone would have been safe.
The only ones to blame are your government for being greedy and lacking strength.
After destroying the territory of Kangaroo Country, Karlleft, no longer searching for the next target.
However, he would not let go of those wealthy individuals who had set their sights on him.
Now, he was preparing to return to the manor to check on it.
Karl was not worried about the manor; with Dark Phoenixand others there, no accidents could possibly occur.
On the other side, Tony collapsed on the ground, watching the nearby New York City turn into ruins.
Within ten kilometers, not a single human survived; the entire New York was destroyed.
He couldn't say who was right or wrong, because the government wanted to act against Karl, and Karl naturally wouldn't sit idly by.
However, these ordinary people were affected and lost their precious lives.
The next moment, Karl, wearing the saint clothembedded with the six infinity stones, appeared above the manor.
Looking at the nearby New York that had turned into ruins, Karl already knew what had happened: the other party had launched nuclear bombs!
At the same time, Karl also saw Tony, wearing his vibranium armor, slumped on the ground.
He didn't say much; he knew Tony would be unable to accept it.
But Karl didn't care; since they were prepared to act against him, they had to be prepared for their country's destruction!
Boom — — — — — —!
Karl, suspended in the air, continued to gather energy, and his gaze was directed towards the Black Palace in Washington.
Then, a colorful energy beam shot out from Karl's hand.
After a huge explosion, the Black Palace, symbolizing America, was blown up by Karl.
At the same time, the underground security Base of the Black Palace was also pierced through by Karl, and the U.S. President and high-ranking officials inside all died.
But Karl did not stop there, launching energy attacks at several other locations again.
Boom — — — — — —!
Boom — — — — — —!
Several large military Bases within America were destroyed by Karl's energy attacks, and the nuclear bombs within these Bases were also detonated by the explosion of the energy attacks.
Mushroom clouds rose over the territory of America, affecting several cities, and countless people were killed, injured, or infected by radiation.
"Enough!!
Karl, those people are innocent.
You've killed so many!
Enough!!!"
Tony watched Karl appear and continuously launch attacks from above the manor.
At the same time, he also knew through Stark Industries' satellites that the Black Palace of America had been destroyed, the President and some high-ranking officials and senators were all dead, and the surrounding large military Bases were all destroyed, with the nuclear bombs inside the military Bases also being affected and detonated.
Bang — — — — — —!
"Get out."
Karl looked at Tony, who was wearing his vibranium armor and blocking him, and casually slapped him into a nearby building, completely ignoring his opinion.
He continued to attack the major military Bases of America, and simultaneously, countless nuclear bombs detonated on the territory of America.
It is important to know that America is the country with the most stored nuclear bombs.
With the detonation of these nuclear bombs, people in those areas will no longer be able to survive, and those infected by nuclear radiation will also die painfully.
Karl only stopped after detonating most of the military Bases that possessed nuclear bombs, then slowly descended into the manor.
At this moment, Banner had returned to his original form, and Red Tank had also returned to the manor.
Karl quietly looked at Mei, Gwen, George, Helen, and others.
"If you have any thoughts, just say them."
Karl walked to a nearby sofa and sat down, and after Yan poured him a cup of tea, he said to everyone.
Many people here probably couldn't accept it; they were all ordinary people before, and it would be difficult for them to accept that their loved one had killed hundreds of millions of people, even almost destroying their country.
"You are too cruel, you are a tyrant!!"
George yelled at Karl in a fit of rage, while Helen pulled George, not speaking, but her eyes also showed extreme dissatisfaction with Karl.
Dark Phoenix, seeing this scene, a trace of red energy flashed in her eyes.
"You, Gwen, Helen, must all feel this way, right?
There is no right or wrong in this matter.
Since they wanted to act against me, they must bear my wrath.
If I didn't have this strength, didn't you consider my fate?
If you can't accept it, you can leave.
I will erase your memories of this period.
I can also agree to tell you that I will be leaving Earthsoon."
Karl glanced at George, Gwen, and Helen, then slowly said.
Their inability to accept it was within Karl's expectations.
After all, George was a Police, and Gwen's heart was full of a sense of justice, otherwise she wouldn't have fought Abomination as soon as she gained her abilities.
Since they couldn't accept it, Karl could also let go, allowing them to return to ordinary lives, and could also delete their memories of this period.
Karl would not force them to understand him, etc.
Their levels were different, making it difficult to explain or comprehend, just as they felt Karl shouldn't have killed so many people.
"Okay, we want to leave!!"
George, hearing Karl's words, took Gwen and Helen's hands, stood up, and said to Karl.
Karl just nodded, not speaking.
Then he gestured to Dark Phoenix beside him to delete their memories.
At the same time, Karl also took back the treasures he had given them.
Subsequently, using the power of the Infinity Stones, he directly altered the memories of everyone on the entire Earth, changing Gwen and the others into ordinary people who had no connection with Karl...
Chapter 212: Gwen's Family Leaves
It didn't take long for the memory modification to be completed. At the same time, Karl sent them back to their own house. Mei never stepped forward, perhaps because of Dark Phoenix's words, or perhaps because of Peter. Karl, however, felt a bit melancholic. After all, they had been with him for so long, but he merely smiled. Even if he forced them to stay, it would be useless; their relationship would never return to what it once was.
Gwen would never accept Karl's actions of destroying several countries and killing hundreds of millions of people. And Karl wasn't the type to constantly coax someone. Their relationship would naturally decline, not to mention George and Helen also couldn't accept it. So, they would only drift further apart. It was better to just let go, especially since he was also preparing to leave Earthand likely wouldn't see them again.
"You still have me. I'll always be with you." Dark Phoenixsaw Karl sitting on the sofa, lost in thought, and then sat on his lap, speaking softly to him. Karl kissed Dark Phoenix's forehead and gently embraced her.
"Alright, there are still things that haven't been resolved. You all wait here for me to come back." Karl closed his eyes and dozed for a bit, then said to Dark Phoenix and the others before disappearing from the living room. After Karl disappeared, everyone present could feel Dark Phoenix's killing intent—naturally not directed at them, but at George, Gwen, and Helen.
"I think it's better if you don't do that, lest Karl gets angry. They are merely boyfriend and girlfriend. Moreover, even if they were married, they could divorce; it's no big deal. If they leave, they leave. That girl is full of a sense of justice, and her father is a Police officer. It's impossible for her to accept Karl killing so many people. Furthermore, Karl's future will ultimately be in the Universe. Will George and Helen leave with him? My calculation result is no. So, how will this girl choose between Karl and her parents?"
"She has a 69.43% chance of choosing her parents. At that time, Karl will eventually separate from her. So, perhaps leaving now is a good thing. For thousands of years, I have seen countless civilizations destroyed. Karl's strength in our Universe makes him a civilization's main god, a king! He merely destroyed a few countries; even destroying a few civilizations is nothing to be surprised about. At the same time, you should not look at Karl with your previous perspective; he is no longer just the Karlwho possessed superpowers."
Yan glanced at Dark Phoenix, then picked up her teacup, took a sip, and spoke slowly, also addressing everyone present. Subsequently, the Angel's Eye in Yan's eyes flashed. She had just used a small trick on everyone, similar to a brainwashing data propagation method, also to avoid such situations from reoccurring. This approach was subtle and did not involve mind control or mental modification, so there was no need to worry about accidents.
After hearing Yan's words, Dark Phoenix also retracted her killing intent. Everyone sat in the living room. Meanwhile, Banner, upon learning that Karl had killed so many people, chose to leave. He likewise could not accept Karl's actions, but he was powerless and could only choose to depart. Red Tank, however, didn't care; if they were killed, they were killed. He didn't care about such things and went back to Quicksilver's warehouse to tinker with his super off-road vehicle.
On the other side, Tony climbed out of the building and went straight home, knowing that he couldn't stop anything Karl wanted to do now. Karl, meanwhile, flew above various countries, using the Mind Stone and Soul Stone to locate the wealthy individuals and powerful families who intended to target him.
Boom——————!
He had no intention of caring about the lives of those inside, directly attacking the powerful family's manor. After confirming that all the leaders were dead, Karl left, then proceeded to the next location, destroying those wealthy individuals in the same manner. Among them were many families and rich individuals who had previously obtained the life essence.
With Karl's appearance and destruction, wealthy individuals and powerful families in various countries who participated in targeting Karl were attacked. Some wealthy individuals even had their entire airplanes blown up by Karl while flying. At the same time, news outlets in various countries frantically reported Karl's actions. Some criticized Karl for why he did this, while others speculated why he did it. However, the people in the East almost started setting off firecrackers in celebration upon hearing that Sakura had been annihilated.
After Karl killed all the participating wealthy individuals, he returned to his manor. Dark Phoenix, Yan, Big Wanda, and Gamora were still in the living room; the others had either gone about their business or returned to their rooms. Simultaneously, the economies of various countries began to show a downward trend.
The most severe impact was on America. America's entire American Government and Military systems were almost completely destroyed by Karl, not to mention its economy. Its national strength was estimated to decline. By the next day, no country dared to report Karl's actions. All countries seemed to pretend not to notice, carrying on as usual. Anyone who dared to spread such words online would be directly arrested by the local Police. Charlesand the others were also stunned.
He hadn't expected Karl to directly destroy two countries and completely collapse America's government and Military systems. On the other side, Tony began to mobilize Stark Industries' funds to aid the suffering populace across America. From then on, Tony never visited Karl's manor again. However, Howard Stark came to Karl's manor to apologize to him, as this series of events had occurred due to him.
But Karl didn't say much. Howard then sighed and left. The East, at this moment, seized the opportunity to develop rapidly, seemingly intending to directly surpass the former America. Although America had begun reconstruction, many people were unwilling to take on government positions, fearing that Karl would attack the American Government again someday. Many New York City residents were infected by radiation, and many fearless individuals ran to Karl's manor, begging him to save them.
At this moment, Karl was on his island. A massive warship, the heavenly blade seven, was docked there. Its exterior had been completely manufactured, but the core and interior were not yet finished. After Karl arrived here, he worked with Yan, using the Reality Stone, to frantically manufacture the warship. Its core even contained the rule energy of the six infinity stones. After several days and nights of manufacturing, heavenly blade seven was finally completed...
Chapter 213: Dormammu
The current heavenly blade seven was stronger than the version in Yan's original database. It was entirely made of Vibranium and Adamantium, and also contained the rule energy of the six infinity stones, and even some Cybertronian technology provided by Quicksilver! heavenly blade seven had now begun to leave Earth. It could also perform space jumps and long-distance space travel. With the boost from heavenly blade seven, Yan's strength had reached the peak of the Heavenly Father Level!
Karl was not in a hurry to leave Earth. Instead, he arrived in Wakanda. After Karl appeared in the great hall, T'Chaka and T'Challa immediately saluted him. Karl nodded and then sat on the throne, waiting quietly. Soon, the leaders of several tribes arrived. They first saluted Karl, then T'Challa and T'Chaka. They had all been summoned by Karl through remote psychic control when he appeared in the Wakandan great hall.
"Since everyone is here, in recognition of your efforts in mining Vibranium over the past few years, each of you will have one chance at resurrection. Additionally, here is a thousand years of lifespan; divide it among yourselves," Karl said to T'Challa and the others from the throne. At the same time, he took out five boxes from the system space and suspended them in front of them.
"This..."
"We thank master!"
While everyone was at a loss, T'Chaka knelt down and thanked Karl. At the same time, the leaders of the major tribes and T'Challa also knelt on the ground and thanked Karl. After that, Karl used True Rewriting to resurrect one person for each of them before directly leaving. He also took all the Vibranium currently in Wakanda and all the refined Vibranium, then returned to his own manor.
At the same time, a huge dark shadow began to appear over Los Angeles. All the people in the factory from before had turned into skeletons, their flesh and blood gone. The strange symbol on the ground inside the factory was flashing abnormally, and black energy was constantly spreading from within it. As soon as Karl returned to the manor, he felt a terrifying black energy permeating from the direction of Los Angeles. It seemed like something was about to descend!
Just then, the magic array formed by the three great sanctuaries of Kamar-Taj suddenly shattered. Stephen Strange of Kamar-Taj then realized something was wrong. After seeing the black energy above Los Angeles, he knew who it was: Kamar-Taj's arch-nemesis, Dormammu! He just hadn't expected that Dormammuhad previously controlled some humans and used a sacrificial summoning method to summon himself from the dimension into Earth's reality.
He immediately opened a portal, which led directly to the entrance of Karl's manor. He absolutely couldn't defeat Dormammu now, so he had to find Karl. As for the hundreds of millions of people Karl had killed and the several countries he had destroyed before, Stephen Strange stated that Kamar-Taj only protected Earth and humanity from destruction and extinction. As for dynastic changes and the decline of nations, these had nothing to do with Kamar-Taj. This was also what Ancient One had told him. Moreover, even if he had wanted to stop all this, he couldn't defeat Karl, and it would probably ruin their relationship.
On the other side, Tony also detected the commotion above Los Angeles. He soon set off with his armor. Even S.H.I.E.L.D. was deployed. After Stephen Strange arrived at the entrance of Karl's manor, the door opened automatically. He immediately walked in and soon met Karl.
"senior martial brother, it's bad. Dormammu has controlled ordinary people to use a sacrificial summoning magic array, summoning himself from the dimension into Earth's reality. We must stop Dormammu now, otherwise, once his Dark Energy envelops Earth, Earth will be completely devoured by Dormammu!" Stephen Strangewalked up to Karl and said anxiously, telling him everything he knew.
"Alright, after this, I estimate I will leave Earth. From now on, Earth will have to rely on you to protect it," Karl said after listening to Stephen Strange, standing up from the sofa and patting Stephen Strange's shoulder.
"What? senior martial brother, you're leaving Earth??" Stephen Strange was a bit stunned when he heard Karl's words. He hadn't expected Karl to actually leave Earth. Now the burden of protecting Earth would fall entirely on his shoulders.
"Yes, don't worry, I'll leave you some things, enough for you to deal with those Dimension Lords. Let's go," Karl said with a smile after seeing Stephen Strange's surprised expression. He then opened a portal and walked in. Stephen Strange followed him, and even Dark Phoenix and Gamora walked in.
When they appeared in Los Angeles, Tony had already launched an attack on the black energy with his armor. Not far away, several S.H.I.E.L.D. quinjets were parked, and even Banner was there. It seemed Tony or Peggy Carter of S.H.I.E.L.D. must have called him.
Boom — — — — — —!
Boom — — — — — —!
Monsters kept rushing out from the black energy, and a huge crack appeared in the sky, with a terrifying eye looking out from within. Karl, however, just watched this scene calmly. Dormammu's strength would not exceed Pseudo-Singular Universe Level, and moreover, his strength would decrease after leaving his dimension, so Karl didn't put him in his eyes at all. Plus, he still had the six infinity stones on him, and he could also pause time himself.
So Karl's methods were enough to deal with Dormammu. Tony and Carter, who were nearby, also saw Karl's appearance and breathed a sigh of relief. They had to admit that Karl's appearance indeed brought them a lot of peace of mind. This black energy was too strange; even Tony couldn't fully analyze it, and there were endless monsters rushing out from inside. Plus, the huge eye that just appeared gave him a cold sweat.
At this moment, the black energy inside began to expand rapidly, and the monsters also started to grow. What was originally a black monster the size of an adult was now as big as a car. Even Tony and the others found it incredibly difficult to deal with them, because they couldn't be killed. If they were injured, the black energy would help them recover and even make them stronger!
With a continuous stream of monsters surging out, Tonyand the others were still under immense pressure. Seeing this, Stephen Strange immediately used magic to attack the black monsters, and even Dark Phoenix set up a fiery red energy barrier around them...
Chapter 214: The Troublesome Dormammu
The fiery red energy barrier erected by Dark Phoenix only served to prevent the black monsters from attacking Karland the others. Karl looked at the black energy enveloping the entire city, and then the gold clothappeared on his body. The Power Stone activated, and purple energy directly blasted into the black energy, tearing open a gap. He could then clearly see the scene inside: dense black monsters were everywhere.
They looked extremely disgusting. At the same time, the crack in the sky widened a bit more. Dormammu, through this crack, looked at Karl and the others as if they were his prey. Karl scoffed at this, and the gold cloth on his body and the six infinity stones shimmered again as he blasted into the black energy in front of him.
Boom!
All the black monsters hit by the attack evaporated, and even the black energy was dispersed by Karl. At the same time, Karl's left hand erupted with terrifying blue energy, rushing towards the black monsters and black energy not far away. Monsters touched by the blue energy were immediately frozen, and even the black energy was frozen with them. The Freezing Power Karl was now using far exceeded absolute zero.
Naturally, it could freeze this Dark Energy. With Karl's action, the pressure on Tony and the others greatly reduced. Their attacks could easily shatter the frozen black monsters. After Dormammu saw this through the crack, he mimicked an energy human face and roared towards Karl's direction. At the same time, more Dark Energy began to rush out of the crack.
Boom!
Karl naturally wouldn't indulge Dormammu. His Pseudo-Singular Universe Level aura erupted, and at the same time, the golden cudgel appeared in his hand. He swung it at Dormammu inside the crack. A huge amount of energy entered the Dark Dimension from the crack, and also blew up the energy-condensed face. But it reformed in a moment, and began to frantically slam against the crack. The crack grew larger and larger until Dormammu's condensed human face directly came into reality from inside.
Bang!
The surrounding Dark Energy began to condense around Dormammu's giant energy face, and an endless stream of Dark Energy gushed from the crack. As soon as Dormammu appeared, he began to manipulate energy to attack Karl, but his attacks had no effect on Karl and were blocked with a raise of his hand.
Boom!
A golden attack struck Dormammu. Although Dormammu was hit by the attack, it only dispersed the energy he had condensed and caused no real damage. Karl attacked Dormammu while thinking of a countermeasure. He also noticed that Dormammu had assimilated some of his attack energy, converting it into Dark Energy for his own use.
Swish!
Thinking that Freezing Power could freeze energy, Karl's entire body began to erupt with blue Freezing Power. He then used the as-you-wish gold-banded cudgel to direct the blue Freezing Power towards Dormammu. The moment it hit, the Dark Energy was frozen, and Dormammu's entire Dark Energy-condensed human face was also frozen. But it didn't last long; he soon broke free from the ice.
Karl's expression was a little solemn as he watched this. He hadn't expected Dormammu to be so troublesome. He then used the Time Stone to put Dormammu into an infinite loop, and simultaneously opened the Mirror Dimension, making Dormammu disappear from everyone's sight. After entering the Mirror Dimension, Karl immediately summoned World · Beyond, and also used its first ability, Time Pause, making Dormammumotionless.
A blue energy flashed, and Karl sent Dormammu back to his Dark Dimension with a single strike. Upon entering his own dimension, Dormammu's conscious energy body returned to its original state, no longer affected by Time Pause. He immediately prepared to return to the Earthreality through the same crack he had just exited, but it had already been sealed by Stephen Strange using Kamar-Taj's magic array. It would take time for him to break through the magic array.
Boom!
While Dormammu was frantically attacking the sealed magic array, Karl appeared beside Stephen Strange. Then, with the rule energy of the Space Stone emanating from his hand, he began to repair the space crack. This action made Dormammu even more frantic, and he began to attack the magic array recklessly. In an instant, the magic array was blown apart. Just as he was about to sneak attack Karl, who was repairing the space crack...
Boom!
Gamora appeared beside Karl, and her right hand released an extremely terrifying blue Multiverse energy, instantly destroying Dormammu's energy consciousness body. That terrifying blue energy even rushed directly into the Dark Dimension, causing a large amount of Dark Energy inside to evaporate, and even blasting a large hole in the dimensional barrier.
After seeing this, Karl also took the opportunity to complete the repair of the space crack. Dormammu was now roaring frantically in his own dimension. After all, this time his attempt to steal a chicken failed and resulted in his dimensional barrier being blown apart. Now he had to repair the dimensional barrier, and his consciousness body had been beaten up after going out. It would be strange if he didn't go crazy.
"Thank you, Gamora." Karl looked at Gamora and thanked her softly, even condensing a colorful energy sphere with the six infinity stones and handing it to her. Then Dark Phoenix also came to Karl's side. The black creatures below had been mostly cleared.
"Hehe, it's nothing, no need to thank me~ Wow, food!" Gamora was a little embarrassed after hearing Karl's thanks, because she felt she hadn't done much. But when she saw the colorful energy sphere in Karl's hand, she became excited and immediately grabbed it to gnaw on.
"Oh, and Stephen, this is for you. I'll be leaving Earth in a few days. From now on, the safety of Earth's dimension will be up to you to protect. Inside are some attacks I've stored. The green ones are Time Force; you can use Time Magic through them. The other colored energies correspond to their respective Infinity Stones' abilities. Use them as you see fit." Karl turned to Stephen Strangenext to him and said, opening a small box and handing it to him, explaining the colorful small energy spheres inside.
"Okay, senior martial brother, thank you, senior martial brother. Will you still come back?" Stephen Strange took the box Karl handed him and thanked Karl, then asked if he would return, and also put away the box...
Chapter 215: Karl Leaves Earth
"I probably won't be coming back. Perhaps you'll see traces of me when your soul roams the Multiverse. Keep up the good work; you are the most talented sorcerer of the last millennium!" Karl said with a smile to Stephen Strange, patting his shoulder.
"What!!! You're leaving Earth? And not coming back? My magic?" Tony exclaimed in disbelief to Karl and the others after hearing their conversation. Although the two hadn't been in contact since Karl destroyed several countries, Tony never imagined that Karl would now be leaving Earth, and even not returning.
"Yes, Tony, this decision was made three years ago. My warship is now complete, and it's time to leave Earth. Take care, Tony. Oh, and here, this is for you. It contains a thousand years of lifespan. I hope you can find a way to extend your own life during this time." Karl said to Tonywith a slight smile after hearing his exclamation, taking out five boxes, each containing dragon bone essence for 200 years of life. He then patted Tony's shoulder, opened a portal, and left with Dark Phoenix and Gamora.
Stephen Strange also opened a portal and left. Tonystared at the five boxes in front of him in disbelief, his mind filled with Karl's words. Peggy Carter, who had also heard about Karl leaving Earth, glanced at Tony and then left, taking Banner with her.
After Tony returned to his villa mansion with the five boxes, he sat in the living room drinking. He felt a bit lost. Karl was preparing to leave Earth, and he was losing another friend. He also didn't know if he should see him off, or even that Karl had been planning this for years, and now his warship was complete. With his intelligence, how could he not guess where the warship was? Karl bought that island but always lived in the manor.
So there must be something there. Thinking of this, Tonycouldn't help but show a bitter smile. When Pepper and Maria returned to the villa, they saw Tony drinking himself into a drunken stupor. Neither of them knew what had happened to Tony, but they still took him back to his room.
Meanwhile, when Karl returned to his manor, it was already filled with various supplies. shadow ninjas were also moving these items into the Shadow World. Although the warship had all the data for Earth's food and could produce it with energy, May, Raven, Helen Zhao, and others still bought a large quantity. May even directly said that since they would have nowhere to spend money later, they might as well buy more now.
The next day, Karl led everyone to the island. A warship, much larger than the island itself, slowly rose from the seabed. Its hatch stopped in front of Karl and the others. Karl then led everyone into the warship. Suddenly, a Marsappeared nearby, followed by a portal, from which Stephen Strange emerged. He nodded at Karl without speaking. Karl also smiled and nodded back, knowing that Stephen Strange had come to see him off.
Afterward, Dark Phoenix, May, Raven, Helen Zhao, Gamora, Big Wanda, Little Wanda, Pirot, Peter, Yelena, Natasha, Red Tank, Samuel, and Quicksilver all entered the warship. Samuel was brought by Karl yesterday from the laboratory; he had diligently helped him with gene research, so he naturally had to be taken along. Samuelwas even more excited to pack his things after hearing he would be going into the universe with Karl.
Karl did not see Inson. Perhaps he couldn't accept Karl's massacre of so many people. Karl didn't care and left with Samuel, also taking Samuel's research data, samples, and equipment. Karl then stood at the warship's entrance, waved to Stephen Strange, and went inside. After that, the island's protective shield began to activate, and its facilities also flew into the warship.
heavenly blade seven began to slowly ascend, flying towards the universe. Because Karl had no intention of hiding heavenly blade seven, many countries discovered it. They were stunned when they realized it flew out from Karl's island. Tony, sitting at home, also saw Karl's warship flying into space through Stark Industries' satellites. At this moment, j.a.r.v.i.v.s. suddenly informed Tony that all of Karl's shares had been transferred to him, along with trillions of cash assets, all unconditionally gifted to him.
Upon hearing Jarvis's report, Tony couldn't help but show a bitter smile. After a night of contemplation, Tonyultimately did not go to see Karl off, perhaps because Karl had hidden the warship's construction from him. Watching the satellite footage, the warship rushed into space, then activated its stealth mode and disappeared from the screen. Tony finally shed tears, knowing that with Karl's departure, they would never see each other again.
He remembered the Christmas and Spring Festival they spent together a few years ago, the large red envelopes, the Vibranium Karl gave him, even helping him avenge his parents, and finally bringing his parents back to life. Tonywas sincerely grateful to Karl. However, Karl had destroyed several countries and killed hundreds of millions of innocent people, and Tony truly didn't know how to face him.
Above Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, a green energy appeared before Charles and shot directly into his body. This terrified Scott and the others, but Charlessignaled that he was fine, then slowly stood up. This was Karl's doing; after all, Charles had sent him a message before, and letting him stand again was no big deal, just a form of compensation.
"You should have seen him off, Tony. No matter what he did, he was your friend, and more than that, your brother." Howard said to Tony, sighing as he looked at the warshipthat had disappeared from the screen.
Tony just continued drinking blankly, not answering Howard. Meanwhile, after Karl entered space, he instructed Yan to set Asgard as the destination for a spatial jump. He also used long-distance telepathic communication to greet Heimdall, as a sudden appearance in Asgard and being attacked would not be ideal.
Then, under Yan's operation, a spatial wormhole suddenly appeared in front of the warship. The warship directly entered it, and then the spatial wormhole closed…
Chapter 216: Arriving in Asgard
Next to the Bifrost Bridge in Asgard, a spatial wormhole suddenly appeared and began to expand.
Heimdall witnessed this, but having been forewarned by Karl, he was not surprised.
He signaled the nearby guards to retract their weapons and cease aiming.
Subsequently, a white warship emerged from the spatial wormhole.
Even Heimdall, who had seen many warships, was somewhat astonished by its immense size.
The warship completely occupied the area next to the Bifrost Bridge, then stopped there.
The hatch slowly opened, and a white energy bridge extended from beneath it, connecting precisely with the Bifrost Bridge.
Karl, accompanied by May and others, stepped out.
His primary purpose in coming to Asgard this time was to inquire with Odin about the location marked on the self gem treasure map, and also to visit Odin.
This would allow him to estimate how much time Odinhad left.
After all, he had promised Odin that Ragnarok would not happen.
Therefore, he either had to continue sealing Hela, or defeat her, or make her submit.
In any case, she couldn't be allowed to kill Thor and the others, otherwise Thor and the others would revive Surtur, who would then destroy Asgard, leading to Hela's demise.
And if Asgard were destroyed, Thor would have to lead the people of Asgard into wandering.
"Your Excellency Karl!"
When Karl stepped onto the Bifrost Bridge, Heimdallperformed an Asgardian salute, showing respect for the strong.
May, Raven, Helen Zhao, and the others curiously observed the surrounding scenery.
This was the legendary dwelling place of the Norse gods; they never imagined they would actually come here.
"Hmm, where is All-Father Odin now?"
Karl glanced at Heimdall and nodded, returning the greeting, then asked Heimdall.
He currently only wanted to know where the self gemwas; everything else had to wait.
"The All-Father is currently awaiting you in the Great Hall!"
Heimdall replied to Karl after he inquired about Odin's whereabouts, as Heimdall would naturally report Karl's arrival in Asgard to Odin.
"Good, I'll go find him.
Have a few people show them around Asgard." Karl nodded after hearing Odin was waiting in the Great Hall and said to Heimdall.
He then vanished from his spot.
Heimdall, using his abilities, summoned several maidservants to lead May, Raven, Helen Zhao, Big Wanda, and the others on a tour of Asgard.
The next moment, Karl appeared in the Great Hall where Odin was.
At this moment, he was also wearing the gold cloth, inlaid with the six infinity stones.
Odin was not surprised by Karl's sudden appearance.
Even with some distance between Karl and Odin, he could feel Odin's divine power beginning to dissipate.
However, another force was maintaining that divine power, delaying its dissipation, which somewhat surprised Karl.
"Your Excellency Karl, your arrival in Asgard this time is very timely.
I don't have much time left.
If Frigga hadn't used forbidden magic to sustain me, you probably wouldn't even see me." Odin looked at Karl and spoke slowly, seemingly unconcerned about his impending Death.
"Alas, this is truly a sad matter.
By the way, could you tell me where this location in the Nine Realms is?"
Seeing Odin in this state, Karl could only sigh and speak slowly, then projected the location revealed by the six infinity stones on the self gem treasure map using energy.
"Hmm? This is... alas, although I don't know how you know this location, this is where I sealed Hela." Odinpondered for a moment after looking at the projected location, then sighed and said to Karl.
Karl was stunned upon hearing Odin's words.
The self gem is where Hela is sealed?
Don't joke around.
If that were truly the case, would Hela have already obtained the self gem?
Karl then dismissed this idea.
If she had truly obtained the self gem, given Asgard's life and soul levels, she would likely have already advanced to Single-Universe Level.
Even if not Single-Universe Level, then Pseudo-Singular Universe Level.
Therefore, she wouldn't need to wait for Odin's Death to break free; she could completely free herself!
And since she hasn't made any moves yet, it's very likely she hasn't obtained the self gem!
"Give me the coordinates.
I need to go there now, because there's a gem there formed from a powerful being's suicide.
If Hela gets it, she could very likely advance to Single-Universe Level!
At that point, let alone me alone, even if you and I combined, we wouldn't be able to defeat her." Karl thought for a while, then gave a wry smile to Odin.
Odin, upon hearing Karl's words, almost couldn't catch his breath and nearly met his end.
Fortunately, Karl immediately appeared by his side and used energy to help him regulate his divine power.
Otherwise, a generation's All-Father would have died from anger.
After Odin caught his breath, he took out a golden disc, indicating that Karl could follow its direction.
Karl did not linger further, but directly took the disc and flew out of the Great Hall, heading in the direction indicated by the disc.
At Karl's speed, he quickly flew out of Asgard.
Following the instructions, he entered a spatial rift and arrived at a desolate place.
There were several pillar-like structures here, with Rune runes in the center.
Upon seeing the Rune runes, Karl knew this was where Odin had sealed Hela.
He then directly activated the Space Stone on his saint cloth to enter the space where Hela was sealed.
Upon entering, even Karl could feel a bone-chilling cold.
Everything around was black, and the entire space was eerily silent.
Some fragmented soul remnants floated in the air, looking incredibly eerie and terrifying.
Karl couldn't help but shiver.
Odin was truly ruthless, sealing Hela in such a place for a thousand years; it would be hard not to go mad.
Karl then floated in the air and flew forward.
The further he flew, the more he could see that the surrounding stones were covered in claw marks!
There were even some writings he couldn't understand, but they were very similar to Asgardian script.
Seeing this, Karl guessed they were probably Hela's curses against Odin.
Suddenly, a commotion came from not far away, startling Karl.
He then flew in that direction, because he still hadn't seen Hela, and he was starting to panic...
Chapter 217: Hela's Transformation
When Karl arrived at the place where the commotion had just come from, he was stunned, because there was only a loli with black hair wearing a small leather jacket! Hela was nowhere to be found, which somewhat confused Karl. When the little loli saw Karl appear, her eyes lit up. It had been over a thousand years; she had been stuck here alone for over a thousand years! She was going crazy, and now someone had actually appeared here! That meant he had come from outside, so could she finally leave?
Karl looked down at the little loli in front of him and realized that she had Asgardian divine power within her, specifically divine power with a Death aura. Could this be Hela? Hela didn't look like this when he watched the movie in his previous life. Why did she turn into this?
"Are you Hela?" Karl finally asked the little loli below, full of doubt, because there should be no one else here besides Hela, and certainly not this little loli. To be safe, he decided to ask.
"I am Hela! Who are you! Did that old geezer Odin send you!!! I can already feel the seal weakening; he's going to die soon!!! Asgard will be mine alone after that!!! Since you're Odin's person, then you'll stay here!" The little loli Hela said to Karl furiously, her eyes flashing with hatred. But paired with her loli figure and voice, she didn't look scary at all, even a little bit adorably fierce. After that, little Hela directly attacked Karl.
Bang ——————!
The attack hit Karl but had no effect, because the attack Hela unleashed at that moment was not at all like what a Heavenly Father Level expert should be capable of. Considering that Asgardian divine power and strength grow with age, and looking at the adorably fierce Hela, Karl finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. This meant that Hela currently had no Heavenly Father Levelstrength, at most only planetary level strength, posing no threat to Karl.
Boom ——————!
Bang ——————!
Little Hela, seeing Karl laugh so unrestrainedly, became exasperated and attacked Karl frantically. Her little face was flushed, but Karl remained unharmed, which made Karl laugh even more wildly. Hela, infuriated, started taking her anger out on nearby stones, since attacking Karl had no effect.
"Hahahahahahaha, ahem, can you tell me why you turned into this, hahahahahahaha." Karl slowly descended in front of Hela and said to her, then couldn't hold back his laughter and burst out laughing again. Hela's little face turned red with anger as she aimed attacks at Karl's face, but Karl easily blocked them.
"Why should I tell you? When I get out, I'll definitely kill you! I'll recover once I get out!! You just wait for me!!" Hela haughtily turned her head away from Karl, then said to him fiercely. Although Hela didn't say anything, Karl already had a few guesses. It should be the self gem that turned her into this. The self gem possesses all the abilities of the six infinity stones, and there were also traces of time on Hela, so it wasn't hard to guess.
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Hela didn't get the self gem, otherwise, things would have been truly bad. But thinking about Hela turning into this, Karl still couldn't help but want to laugh. He didn't expect Hela to be so cute when she was little. Looking at little Hela's chubby little face, Karl couldn't resist reaching out his evil hand and pinching little Hela's little face. The first thought that flashed through his mind was: So soft!
"What are you doing!! You're courting Death!!!!" Little Hela, feeling her little face being pinched, roared furiously at Karl. She couldn't believe that someone dared to pinch her face. Then she began to mobilize the Death energy in the surrounding space to attack Karl. Karl, having been roared at by little Hela, awkwardly touched his nose. That chubby little face was really hard to resist pinching, especially little loli Hela's little face.
Boom ——————!
Bang ——————!
Boom ——————!
Karl didn't resist and let little Hela attack him as she pleased. Her attacks couldn't cause him any harm. Eventually, Hela got tired of fighting and angrily ran behind a large rock. Karl awkwardly touched his nose again and decided to go search for the self gem first. Knowing that Hela hadn't obtained it made him feel much more at ease. Little Hela, seeing Karl fly towards the place that had turned her into this, revealed a schadenfreude smile.
When Karl arrived there, he found the golden self gemfloating on a stone pillar not far away. But Karl knew it wouldn't be that simple, after all, even Hela had been frustrated here. So Karl was still quite cautious. After he landed on the ground and took a step towards the golden self gem, the surrounding environment immediately changed, transforming into a cosmic battlefield. Not far away, a woman and a suspected Celestial member were fighting.
Although he didn't know who the woman was, thinking of the self gem, he could naturally guess that she was the Goddess of Vengeance! Watching the two fight, Karl couldn't help but get somewhat drawn into it. Fortunately, the Mind Stone and Soul Stone embedded in his saint cloth flickered, and Karl was immediately startled awake. Thinking of the scene just now, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He had almost been drawn in, and his current strength was Pseudo-Singular Universe Level!
After breaking out in a cold sweat, Karl didn't continue watching. Instead, he directly used the purple energy of the Power Stone to destroy everything around him. Soon, the scene began to change again, returning to how it was when Karl first arrived. After recalling his recent experience, Karl began to activate the six infinity stonesand walked forward. Not long after, a golden energy beam shot directly from the self gem towards Karl, hitting him in an instant. Karl immediately felt the power of time reversing his own time.
That is, it was reversing his personal time; his age and strength were all regressing. Fortunately, Karl possessed the Time Stone, and then a green energy flashed, the self gem's energy on his body disappeared, and he also returned to his original appearance. In just an instant, it almost turned him into a baby! He finally understood why Hela had become like this. Even he, with the Time Stone, almost fell victim and turned into a baby, while Hela, who had lived for over a thousand years, still managed to resist that temporal force...
Chapter 218: Single-Universe Level
Karl then continued to walk forward, and along the way, the abilities of the six infinity stones shot out from the self gem towards Karl. Fortunately, the six infinity stoneson his body neutralized these abilities; otherwise, Karlestimated he would have fallen long ago! When Karlarrived in front of the self gem, he reached out and took it from the stone pillar. Immediately, the self gem shot a golden light at Karl's forehead, which soon entered his forehead.
Afterward, it seemed as if something was forcefully inserted into Karl's mind, but it didn't last long. When Karl opened his eyes again, he found that his mind contained some memories that didn't belong to him. Remembering that the self gem was the incarnation of the Goddess of Vengeance, he knew whose memories they were and didn't pay much attention. The self gemthen directly integrated into Karl's heart, and at the same time, Karl's own strength advanced to the Heavenly Father Level!
His life essence and soul reached the Single-Universe Level in one fell swoop. Coupled with the gold clothembedded with the six infinity stones that he was now wearing, Karl was now a true Single-Universe Levelpowerhouse! After sensing the power within him, Karlcouldn't help but smile. At the same time, he could feel that his life essence no longer belonged to humanity. He didn't know what it was, but it was indeed different from that of humans.
At the same time, he seemed to have gained a new ability, obtained after his life essence improved. When Karl saw the effect of this ability, he was stunned, because it was actually Void Creation! As long as he had enough energy in his body and a sufficient understanding of an object, he could use this ability to create that object out of thin air. Thinking of this, Karl couldn't help but recall the void engine from Yan's Universe; that thing could also create things from nothing!
However, his was an ability, while theirs was technology, and this ability would improve as his life essence improved! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect to gain such a powerful ability. When he himself reached the Single-Universe Level, wouldn't he be able to directly create life? Isn't this clearly the ability of a Creator! Karl then experimented a bit; he could currently only create things like stones.
More complex items were beyond him. Although he could create them, they weren't what he envisioned. For example, a dagger: he would need to know what the dagger was made of, what its metal density should be, and so on. After thinking about this, Karl couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was a poor student; making him understand these things was harder than killing him. He could only sigh, preparing to ask Yan to teach him when the time came, as it would be a pity if such a powerful ability couldn't be used.
Then Karl appeared in front of little Hela in an instant. Little Hela was still hiding behind the stone from before, but she was asleep. Because of her continuous attacks on Karl just now, all her divine power had been depleted. She could only put herself to sleep to quickly absorb external energy and convert it into divine power! Karllooked at the sleeping loli in front of him and fell into contemplation. He was thinking about whether he should kill Hela, as that would prevent Ragnarok in Asgard.
But then he sighed, thinking about his own strength, and gently picked up little Hela from the ground. Then, with a flash, he disappeared from the spot with little Hela. As for Odin's seal? Even the Pseudo-Singular Universe LevelKarl couldn't be stopped, let alone Karl, who was now Single-Universe Level. The next moment, Karl appeared in Odin's great hall, holding Hela. Odin was still sitting on his throne, but Frigga was now beside him.
Odin and Frigga were startled when Karl suddenly appeared, but they both felt that Karl was somehow different. Although they couldn't quite pinpoint it, he had indeed changed. Frigga's eyes widened when she saw the loli Karl was holding, because it was Hela as a child. How could she not recognize her own daughter! (Regardless of whether it was originally, it is here!) Frigga, covering her mouth, looked at little Hela in Karl's arms with disbelief.
"This... is this Hela? Why has she become like this..." Frigga walked up to Karl, took Hela, and said with a choke. She naturally knew where Hela was sealed, but she couldn't rescue her because it was Odin's decision. Yet, her heart ached for her child. Although she didn't know why Hela had become small, she knew Hela must have suffered a lot! She then held little Hela and looked at Odin, her eyes full of pleading.
Odin also recognized that the loli was Hela. Seeing Frigga's pleading eyes, how could he not know what Frigga wanted? He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before nodding. Frigga, seeing this, joyfully embraced Hela and left. Only Karl and Odin remained in the great hall.
"You should have reached the Single-Universe Level by now, right? Although my divine power is draining, I can feel that your life essence is already higher than mine. This is also why I agreed to Frigga's request to spare Hela. I believe even if Hela recovers her original strength, you can suppress her again." Odin said to Karl after Frigga left, his tone filled with guilt and self-reproach. Hela's current state was also his fault as a father.
"Yes, I was lucky enough to advance to the Single-Universe Level. Let me take a look for you; perhaps my advancement to the Single-Universe Level can slow down the loss of divine power within you." Karl nodded, not denying it, and then said to Odin. At the same time, feeling the accelerated loss of divine power within Odin, he offered to try and suppress it. Odin nodded after hearing Karl's words. Karl then stepped forward and appeared beside Odin, mobilizing the energy within him to begin suppressing Odin's divine power.
He then directly used the self gem and the Space Stonein conjunction to create a divine power circulation space, allowing the lost divine power to return to Odin's body once again. While this couldn't prevent Odin's divine power from dissipating and being lost entirely, it would significantly extend the time of Odin's dissipation. At the same time, he also injected a trace of Single-Universe Level energy into Odin's body, allowing it to drive the divine power within Odin to begin flowing in the circulatory space!
After doing all this, Karl slowly stopped. Odin was still closing his eyes, sensing the divine power within him, and his complexion had improved slightly. When Odin opened his eyes, he let out a long sigh...
Chapter 219: Little Hela's Conditions
"Thank you, Karl. It must have been hard for you to waste your power on a broken body like mine," Odin slowly said to Karl after sensing the divine power within him. After all, Karl's willingness to help was already worthy of his gratitude, and now that Karl was a Single-Universe Levelpowerhouse, he treated him with even greater respect.
"It's nothing, just a bit of energy," Karl said, shaking his head after hearing Odin's words. "But I can only delay the dissipation of the divine power within you." He also spoke with a hint of emotion, wondering who would have thought that Odin, who once ruled the Nine Realms, would end up like this, needing others to extend his life.
Meanwhile, after Frigga returned to her chambers with Little Hela, Hela immediately woke up. A flicker of hatred crossed her eyes when she saw Frigga in front of her, which Frigga also noticed, causing a bitter expression to appear on her face. It was naturally not a pleasant feeling to be looked at with such hatred by her own daughter. However, remembering that Hela had been sealed in that dark place for thousands of years, and she herself couldn't visit her, she felt a sense of resignation. It was normal for Hela to hate her.
"Why haven't I changed back?! Get away from me!! I hate you!! I will destroy everything here!!" Hela said, looking at Frigga with hatred. She then broke down when she realized she was still in a child's form, simultaneously shaking off Frigga's hand.
"Your body is filled with traces of time. Your personal time must have been reversed. Only the Time Stone or a powerhouse who can control time can help you change back," Frigga said gently to Little Hela, looking at her broken state. She didn't mind Hela shaking off her hand and still walked up to her, even trying to give her a hug, but Hela dodged it.
"Where is the Time Stone? Tell me! Or I'll kill you!" Little Hela said fiercely, grabbing Frigga's neck after dodging her hug. However, Frigga, being choked, didn't show any signs of discomfort, indicating that Little Hela wasn't using any real force. She only wanted to restore herself to her peak state and had no desire to waste time with Frigga here!
"The Time Stone is on the person who brought you back from the place of your sealing. His name is Karl, he is a Midgardian, also your brother Thor's good friend, and a distinguished guest of Asgard. He even saved me, who was supposed to die. His current strength is at least Single-Universe Level." Frigga, still being choked by Little Hela, gently answered her question and also provided some information about Karl. However, she did not mention that Karl's family was visiting Asgard.
If she had, she knew that Hela, understanding her, would definitely take them hostage to exchange for the Time Stone. She also knew what had happened on Earthbefore and knew that Karl's family was his bottom line. If Hela harmed Karl's family, he would easily rescue them with his strength. However, he would also investigate why Hela, newly released, knew his family was in Asgard. Once he discovered it was she who told Hela, the relationship between Asgard and Karl would rupture, and it could even provoke Karl's wrath.
"Single-Universe Level? I didn't expect him to actually get that thing!" Little Hela muttered to herself after hearing Frigga's words, surprised that Karl could obtain such a thing. After thousands of years, she still ended up with her personal time being reversed.
"He should still be discussing something with your father, and it might be over by now," Frigga slowly said, looking at Little Hela with heartache. She couldn't help but reach out to touch her little face, but Little Hela slapped her hand away.
"I'm leaving! You'd better not follow me! Or I'll kill you!" Little Hela said fiercely to Frigga after slapping her hand away. She then directly left Frigga's chambers and headed towards the main hall, complaining along the way that nothing had changed from before. Meanwhile, Karlalso came out of the main hall, intending to go find Dark Phoenix and the others. Suddenly, he saw a little loli in a black leather outfit not far away. Isn't that Little Hela? Why is she here? Karl looked at her with some confusion.
"Hey, Karl, let's make a deal. You change me back to my original form, and I'll give you all of Asgard's treasures. How about that? These are Odin, that old geezer's, thousands of years of collection." Little Hela said to Karlwith her hands on her hips, acting like a little adult. She then stated her conditions, looking at Karl with an expression that said, 'you'll definitely profit from this deal,' her eyes fixed on the six Infinity Stones embedded in Karl's gold cloth.
"Why should I make a deal with you? Odin's treasury doesn't hold much value for me. Besides, if I change you back to your original form, won't you try to fight me? Do you think I'm foolish enough to create trouble for myself?" Karl said, looking at Little Hela. He squatted down and pinched her little cheeks, smiling as he spoke to her. How could Karl not know what she was planning? She just wanted to restore her strength to destroy or rule Asgard.
If she regained her strength, her power would be connected to Asgard. At that point, unless Asgard was destroyed or she was turned back into a child, fighting Hela would be like fighting Asgard. Moreover, Karl didn't want to look for trouble, and besides, wasn't Little Helaadorable like this?
"Don't pinch my face!!! You can name your conditions! As long as you restore me to my original form!" Little Helaslapped away the hand pinching her face, gritting her teeth and speaking to him, barely suppressing the urge to kill Karl. But she also knew she could only endure. She hadn't recovered her strength yet, and even if she did, she might not be a match for this guy. This guy was Single-Universe Level! Even at her full strength, she couldn't be his opponent.
"Who made your little face so cute? I couldn't help myself, hahahahaha. Alright, you don't need to think about it. I won't help you revert to your original form. I have things to do, I'm leaving." Karl couldn't help but smile after hearing Little Hela's gritted teeth. Then, under Little Hela's murderous gaze, he pinched her little face again, laughed softly, and said to Hela. After speaking, he left directly...
Chapter 220 Sea of Flowers
Karl ignored Little Hela and walked towards Dark Phoenix and the others, but Little Hela clung to him, for only Karl could restore her to her original state. If Karldidn't help her, she would likely remain this way forever. Although Odin's Vault contained some time-related treasures, none could manipulate time. She was already intimately familiar with Odin's Vault, otherwise she would have gone there long ago.
"If you help me return to my original form, how about I make you king once I rule Asgard? I'll also give you all the treasures in Odin's Vault. What do you say? Or perhaps I could find you a few divine maidens as wives? What do you think?" Little Hela followed Karl, refusing to give up, adding more incentives and even acting as if she was making a great sacrifice. Karl, however, simply smiled at her without responding.
Soon, Karl arrived at the location of Dark Phoenix and the others. They were currently in Asgard's flower sea, admiring the vibrant blossoms. A hint of surprise flashed in Karl's eyes; he hadn't expected Asgard to have such a place. Mei, Dark Phoenix, Raven, and the others began to walk towards Karl upon seeing him arrive, but a flicker of doubt and curiosity appeared in their eyes when they saw a little loli in a leather outfit following him.
"I advise you to put away your little schemes. If you dare to lay a hand on them, I will lock you back in that place for another 10,000 years." Karl's icy voice rang out beside Little Hela after seeing her pensive expression as she looked at Mei and the others. This startled Little Hela, making her shiver. If she were truly locked up for another 10,000 years, she would surely go mad, not to mention whether she even had such a long lifespan.
"Hmph!"
"Karl, who is this adorable little loli?"
"What little loli! Your whole family are little lolis! I am not a little loli!!!"
When Mei walked up to Karl, she looked at Little Helaand asked Karl curiously. Little Hela, upon hearing Mei's words, roared back at her furiously. Seeing this, Karl once again couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then, Dark Phoenix directly reached out and pinched her little face. Even Gamora looked at the little loli in the black leather outfit with curiosity. At the same time, Big Wanda and the others gathered around, each unable to resist pinching Little Hela's little face.
"What are you doing!! Don't pinch my face! You're being presumptuous! Ah!!!" Everyone took turns pinching Little Hela's little face. Little Hela did struggle, but the disparity in strength between her and the others was too great; she couldn't break free, especially with Dark Phoenix and Gamora present. This made Little Hela's entire face turn red with anger.
"She shouldn't have looked like this originally, right? There are some energy traces on her similar to the Time Stone, and she doesn't speak like a child. Has her personal time been reversed?" Yan walked up to Karl and asked him, while her Angel's Eye continuously scanned Little Hela.
"Hmm, she was originally Odin's eldest daughter, Hela, but because she was dissatisfied with Odin stopping the war, it seems she ultimately failed in her attempt to usurp the throne. Odin then sealed her in a space for thousands of years, and that space happened to be where the self gem was stored. She tried to obtain the self gem, which resulted in her being struck by the self gem's time energy, causing her age and power to revert to that of a child. I obtained the self gem after entering that space." Karllooked at Yan, nodded, and said, casually taking Yan's small hand.
Yan nodded after hearing Karl's words, then suddenly felt her hand being held. She was a little surprised to find it was Karl. Although their relationship had grown much closer over the years, she was usually the one to initiate. She hadn't expected Karl to actively hold her hand. She then gave Karl a charming glare but didn't pull away, letting Karl hold her hand. Karl, in turn, showed a slight smile. It wasn't that he was unwilling to initiate, but any initiative he took seemed to be within Yan's expectations, which made him appear dull, so he was reluctant to take the lead.
Afterward, Karl led Yan towards the flower sea not far away, ignoring Little Hela who was being bullied by the others. The two of them strolled through Asgard's flower sea, neither speaking, just walking quietly.
"Does Merlot Heavenly Court also have such flower seas?" Karl, holding Yan's hand, walked through the flower sea. Suddenly, he thought of something and slowly asked Yan, while looking at her. The surrounding flowers accentuated Yan's beauty at that moment, and as Karl looked at Yan, she happened to spread her wings, slowly unfolding them. This scene left Karl spellbound.
"Merlot doesn't have such flower seas, though almost every Angel plants flowers from various star systems and Planets in her own yard. Kid, am I very beautiful? You're completely captivated." Yan turned her head and softly replied to Karl, catching him in the act of being spellbound. She couldn't help but smile, then continued to ask Karl with a teasing tone.
"Beautiful, extremely beautiful. Haven't I said that before?" Karl, snapping out of his daze upon hearing Yan's words, replied to her. There was no hint of awkwardness on his face; instead, he held Yan's hand even tighter, directly acknowledging her beauty.
"No, you haven't. You've never praised me for being beautiful." Yan felt the hand holding hers tighten slightly and looked at Karl, speaking faintly. Thinking about how he used to be like a block of wood, she couldn't help but smile. After all, Yan wasn't a Little Girl like Gwen; Karl's behavior was indeed like a block of wood to her.
"Then I'll praise you every day from now on. By the way, why don't you say to me: 'You should think like a god'? According to your Universe, shouldn't I also be considered a god?" Karl said gently to Yan, with a hint of curiosity in his expression. In her Universe, Karl remembered her saying that to Ge Xiaolun. Although they didn't know each other now, Karl was still a little curious.
"Hmm... I've thought about that question too, but this isn't my Universe, and you're not the king of a civilization. Moreover, you're different from us. I'm actually very curious as to why you know that phrase. Do you know something?" Yan finished listening to Karl's words and slowly said to him, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.
"You'll know in the future. I know many things. Let's go, I think we could create a garden inside the warship. What do you think?" Karl smiled after hearing Yan's words, playing coy and not telling Yan...
