In the skies of Hell.
Karl floated there.
An indescribable ripple slowly spread outward.
The ripple did not seem particularly grand or overwhelming.
Yet it was like water spreading silently, seeping into everything without a sound.
Even Chthon and the three Great Demons slowly closed their eyes.
As for the insect swarm, there was even less need to mention them.
The moment they came into contact with that ripple, the insects fell from the sky like raindrops.
Before long, a thick layer of insect corpses had piled up on the ground, looking almost like a fluffy carpet.
A closer look was enough to make one's scalp crawl.
Only then did Chthon and the others finally wake up from their daze.
The moment he came to, Chthon could not help crying out loudly.
"The Law of Soul!"
Because he was too anxious, his voice even sounded somewhat sharp.
Chthon was horrified.
How did this brat know the Law of Soul?
Just how many laws did this brat know?
Chthon clearly remembered that, up until now, this brat had already used at least five different laws.
Time, space, darkness, light, and more.
All of these were extremely terrifying laws.
According to Chthon's thinking, after comprehending so many powerful laws, this brat should not have been able to comprehend the Law of Soul as well.
And yet, this brat had.
Was this some kind of joke?
What kind of monster was he?
The Law of Soul was known as one of the hardest laws in this world to comprehend!
How had this brat learned it?
Chthon frowned deeply.
To comprehend the Law of Soul, one needed a deep enough understanding of the soul.
Normally, those who comprehended soul-related magic were either dark sorcerers, evil human warriors, or Great Demons.
He was a sorcerer of Kamar-Taj. What right did he have to comprehend the Law of Soul?
Could it be that this brat only looked noble and upright on the surface, but was actually no good at all?
Chthon was extremely puzzled by this.
The three Great Demons were not much better. They also found the situation utterly unbelievable.
Krakkan, in particular, looked at the insect corpses covering the ground and felt so heartbroken he could barely breathe.
These were the last treasures he had saved up over all these years.
And Karl had wiped them all out in one go?
Krakkan suddenly felt cold all over. This was too hard. His entire race had suffered so much oppression. How were they supposed to rise again?
The shock in his heart instantly turned into pain.
Then the pain turned into rage.
"Human brat, I swear I'll make you die!"
Even though he said that, Krakkan's face was filled with vigilance.
Although the insect race had vast numbers, their souls were extremely weak.
Faced with this kind of powerful soul attack, they simply could not withstand it.
It seemed he had to use his killing move.
Krakkan's expression darkened, and he shouted loudly.
"Balthakk, help me!"
"I know you still have a trump card!"
"Where did the courage you had against Atum go?"
Balthakk: "???"
But since Krakkan had said that, he naturally could not avoid taking action.
A buzzing sound came from his body.
The spheres circling around him seemed to vibrate.
Then, a beam of purple light shone toward Karl.
Karl waved his hand to defend himself, only to discover that the purple light did not cause him any harm.
Then he saw Balthakk's body twist.
One of the spheres floating around Balthakk's body suddenly changed.
A figure of Karl actually walked out from it.
The manifested figure looked exactly the same as Karl.
The only difference was that his face was expressionless, making him look like a puppet.
The manifested Karl was surrounded by an even deeper purple light.
Purple light flashed in the phantom's eyes.
Then it charged straight toward Karl.
In terms of aura, it was not the slightest bit weaker than Karl himself.
In the blink of an eye, Karl saw through the true nature of the phantom.
This was not a simple illusion.
It was some kind of powerful time ability.
It had directly drawn over a projection of Karl from a future timeline.
It was almost the same in principle as when he had previously summoned Surtur's projection.
This was exactly what made the Law of Time so absurdly powerful.
Karl raised his hand.
After blocking the phantom's punch, Karl's body swayed slightly.
"As expected of myself. The strength is truly powerful enough."
"Even this kind of physical strength can be completely copied."
"Balthakk, is your power not enough?"
With time wrapped around him, Karl easily dodged the attacks from his own projection.
Krakkan also attacked at the same time.
Several strange insects flew beside him, somehow allowing him to ignore the distorted time around Karl's body.
He entered close combat with Karl.
Chthon, unwilling to fall behind, also struck.
Several powerful dark spells immediately blasted toward Karl.
Fortunately, the Law of Time was simply too terrifying.
With time empowering him, the combined attacks of these three powerful beings could not threaten him at all.
He was like a butterfly dancing through the air, constantly weaving through the sky.
All the attacks around him rapidly closed in on Karl's true position.
Soon.
Balthakk, who was not far from him, could no longer hold on.
Karl had been right.
The pressure was indeed too great.
Balthakk had never imagined that Karl would be this monstrous.
Even with the support of endless power from his dimensional realm, he was starting to feel hollowed out.
It was as if a pump had been placed inside his body.
Energy was constantly gushing out.
This filled his heart with inexplicable shock.
He had only copied Karl's physical body!
He had not copied his magic, his laws, or anything else.
And yet, even so, the consumption was already this terrifying?
Just how strong was this brat?
Balthakk felt bitter inside.
In order to maintain this projection, the energy inside his dimensional realm was almost being drained dry.
How was he supposed to keep fighting like this?
Moreover, even with one extra projection, they still could not do anything to Karl.
With the Law of Time, this guy was practically standing in an unbeatable position.
Seeing that he truly could not hold on any longer, Balthakk sighed and directly stopped supplying power.
The figure of Karl from that timeline instantly dissipated.
"Balthakk, what are you doing?"
"We were just about to kill this guy!"
Krakkan shouted loudly.
Balthakk did not even know what to say.
What kind of joke was this?
After fighting for so long, they had not even managed to stop this guy for a moment.
And Krakkan called that "about to kill him"?
To hell with that.
He could not keep going.
"You can try drawing out his time projection yourself and see how difficult it is."
"Don't you have two toad-like insects inside your dimension? Take them out and let's see."
Balthakk spoke with great displeasure.
Krakkan was completely dumbfounded.
