At that moment, Red Crystal walked out of the house carrying a tiny child even smaller than herself.
Since she had never seen a baby before, she had followed May and Raven into the house earlier to find Pepper and little Morgan.
Now, the baby in her arms was Morgan herself.
Seeing this scene, Karl couldn't help but smile.
From a distance, it looked as if one child was carrying another child.
Of course, there was no need to worry about Red Crystal dropping the baby.
Despite her small appearance, she possessed tremendous strength.
Her base power already reached Sub-Celestial level, and after receiving the Kryptonian warrior gene serum, her physical strength had increased even further.
After months of absorbing stellar radiation, her power had already approached Celestial level.
Holding a one-year-old baby was effortless for her.
Red Crystal looked curiously at little Morgan with her bright red gemstone-like eyes.
Morgan, in turn, stared back at her with equal curiosity.
Soon, Red Crystal carried Morgan over to Karl.
Karl smiled and gently patted Hela, who was sitting in his arms, signaling her to stand up for a moment.
Then Karl lifted both Red Crystal and Morgan into his arms.
Although Morgan hadn't seen Karl for several months, she still remembered him.
The moment she saw him, she immediately smiled happily.
Then she began crawling around playfully in his arms.
Karl's heart instantly softened.
The two little girls together were simply too adorable.
He couldn't resist pinching both of their cheeks lightly.
Soon Yan, Black Phoenix, and the others gathered around as well.
Meanwhile, inside the house, Tony had gathered Howard, Maria, and Pepper in his laboratory.
He told them about Karl's invitation.
After hearing Tony's explanation, the room fell into silence.
Everyone began thinking seriously.
Leaving Earth was not an easy decision.
But at the same time—
Traveling into space clearly offered far greater possibilities.
More importantly, none of them wanted Morgan's future to be limited to Earth alone.
Perhaps the entire universe would become her true home one day.
Howard and Maria exchanged a glance.
They already understood each other's thoughts.
Then they both turned to look at Pepper.
After being resurrected by Karl, Howard and Maria had very little responsibility left.
Most of their time was spent helping care for their granddaughter.
Occasionally, Howard would assist Tony with technological research.
The spaceship being constructed beneath the house was actually the joint work of Tony and Howard.
Howard also understood that Tony wanted to go to space not just for himself—
But also for Pepper, Morgan, and the entire family.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Pepper smiled gently.
As Morgan's mother and Tony's wife, how could she not want the best future for her daughter?
Although she felt reluctant to leave Earth, it wasn't as if they could never return.
Pepper nodded firmly.
"Let's go together."
"It's not like we can't come back."
She looked at Morgan's cradle nearby.
"I want Morgan's future world to include the entire universe."
"Or perhaps even something larger."
Then she looked at Tony.
"I want my husband to be happier."
"And I hope my parents can stay with us forever."
After hearing Pepper's words, Tony's eyes immediately became moist.
He pulled her into a tight embrace.
Howard and Maria smiled with visible relief.
Soon Tony released Pepper.
Then he walked outside to discuss the future with Karl.
Of course—
They definitely wouldn't live on Karl's ship permanently.
Even if the vessel was enormous.
Tony sat down beside Karl.
"So when do we start building the spaceship?"
"Or should I say… the warship?"
Tony asked directly.
Karl handed Red Crystal and Morgan over to Hela and the others.
Then he turned toward Tony.
"In the next few days, have Jarvis begin mass-producing your new element reactors."
"And start manufacturing large quantities of adamantium."
Karl thought for a moment before continuing.
"It doesn't need to remain in liquid form all the time."
"But we'll need a large supply."
"I'm planning to build you a warship similar to Skyblade VII."
"And Jarvis will control the ship's internal systems."
"But it will require a massive amount of energy."
Tony stared at Karl in shock.
"What?!"
"You mean a warship the same size as yours?"
"How long would that take to build?"
"Are you serious?"
After all, Karl's own warship had taken several years to complete.
If they had to build another one from scratch, wouldn't that take several more years?
Tony even wondered if Karl intended to stay on Earth for a long time.
Karl rolled his eyes.
"No, no, no."
"As long as we have enough energy, I can build a warship almost instantly."
"I have a Super Celestial Computer."
"It's an artificial intelligence far beyond Jarvis."
"It's essentially the core system of a god-level civilization."
"It can consume the energy of ten thousand stars in a single instant."
Karl leaned back calmly.
"So how long do you think it would take to construct a warship?"
Tony stared at him in disbelief.
Karl continued explaining.
The Vast Knowledge Treasury could operate at 30,000 computational frames simultaneously.
If it ran at maximum power, it could manufacture an entire Skyblade-class warship almost instantly.
Compared to the Sacred Knowledge Treasury used by Yan's angelic civilization, Karl's system was even more powerful.
In the Angel civilization, computational power was distributed across many celestial structures.
That meant their production speed was slower.
But Karl only shared his system with Yan.
No one else had access.
Furthermore, Karl could assist construction directly using the Reality Stone.
With those advantages combined, creating a second warship for Tony would not take long at all.
Tony rubbed his head in disbelief.
"My god…"
"Ten thousand stars?"
"In an instant?"
"Give me a second—I need to breathe."
He stared at Karl.
"No wonder you knew about the spaceship I'm building."
"I thought it was one of your superpowers."
"But it turns out…"
"You're actually beating me at technology too?!"
Tony shook his head in disbelief.
For years he had taken pride in possessing the most advanced artificial intelligence on Earth.
Now Karl had just crushed that confidence effortlessly.
Karl only smiled.
He didn't say anything more.
Tony sighed helplessly.
Then he immediately instructed Jarvis to begin mass-producing new element reactors.
If Karl said they needed energy—
Then Tony would provide it.
