Karl quietly returned to Kamar-Taj, peaceful as if nothing had happened.
However, someone else was not doing well.
That person was Chthon.
The ability he had used to escape had not been easy.
Under the state of soul cross-linking, he had ignored the opinions of his three teammates and forcibly swapped positions with them.
Even if he had used this power at the Multiverse level, he would still have had to pay a price.
Not to mention that his power was currently sealed!
The fact that Chthon was not dead could only be attributed to how powerful his foundation was.
Even though he had not died, his situation was not much better than death.
Now, out of each day, he could only remain awake for a quarter of the time.
For the rest of the time, he remained in a state of soul confusion.
The power within him was also incomparably chaotic.
The backlash brought by Dark Magic left him in unbearable agony.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Chthon flew into a helpless rage.
He killed all the mindless demons that charged at him from the surroundings.
His heart was filled with fury.
If not for Karl, how could he have fallen into such a miserable state?
However, right now, he had neither the opportunity nor the strength to take revenge on Karl.
In fact, for the next few years, he would need to hide his identity and not reveal even the slightest trace of himself.
Otherwise, those enemies of his would definitely come straight for him and make him pay.
Chthon restrained his power, forcibly made himself seem ordinary, and went into seclusion in these Gloomy Hills.
What he did not know was that within the Multiverse, someone had still detected his traces.
That person was none other than the Demiurge, who had sealed Chthon's power.
As one of the Elder Gods, he understood Chthon far too well.
Since he had provoked this fellow, naturally he would not stop paying attention to him.
However, what he had not expected was to witness such an explosive scene.
Chthon, the Dark God, had joined forces with powerful great demons, yet not only had he failed to achieve his goal, he had nearly been wiped out along with them.
Chthon could only flee in a wretched state.
This was probably the first time something like this had happened since the ancient God-Eater Calamity.
This was the Dark God.
One of the most powerful Elder Gods born on Earth.
He possessed unimaginable mighty power!
Yet now, he had actually been beaten down by such a newcomer.
Just how monstrous was this young man?
The Demiurge manipulated cosmic power, and time began to change before him.
"What?"
"This kid really is only in his twenties?"
"And he mastered an internal universe this quickly? What kind of joke is this?"
The Demiurge's eyes widened.
He was an Elder God born from heaven and earth.
The moment he was born, he possessed tyrannical power and an astonishing comprehension of laws.
From the moment of his birth, his internal universe had already formed along with him.
However, even he had spent tens of millions of years before mastering his internal universe to this degree!
After observing carefully for a long while, the Demiurge discovered something different once again.
"Damn it. Just how many laws has this kid mastered?"
"His universe is actually much more complete than mine."
The Demiurge looked at Karl's internal universe.
In his heart, envy rose like bitter acid.
Even as a Multiverse-level existence, he was extremely envious of Karl.
Karl's internal universe was far more complete than his own universe.
This kid had mastered far too many laws.
This would give Karl's future path even greater potential for development.
Perhaps it would not even take a few years before this kid directly rushed into the Multiverse level!
As for him, he had spent hundreds of millions of years.
"It seems that before too long, another powerful being will appear in the Multiverse."
"I hope he can go a little farther."
"After the Age of Divine War, this magic-bearing world will once again have someone stand at the summit of power."
The Demiurge shook his head.
Then he continued studying the various races within his own universe.
The Multiverse was vast and boundless, so naturally, there were many powerful beings.
There were many powerful beings paying attention to the battle between Karl and Chthon.
For example, among the Five Great Gods, there was the strongest one: Oblivion.
Oblivion was not only the strongest among the Five Great Gods.
His boundless mighty power was practically impossible to measure.
At this moment, he was paying attention to Chthon's battle.
This time, even Oblivion, who had always remained unshakably calm, felt somewhat shocked.
Karl's battle had not merely exceeded his expectations.
If the other Five Great Gods saw it, they would probably be incomparably shocked as well.
One against four.
Among them, three were once Multiverse-level powerhouses.
In the entire Multiverse, almost no one had ever dared claim such a battle record.
Karl had practically broken the limit of the Single-Universe level in this world.
"Humans truly are a terrifying race."
"Without any modification, they actually produced a powerhouse of this level."
"Their talent is truly shocking."
"Perhaps this kid may be useful to me in the future."
A mysterious gleam appeared in Oblivion's lightless eyes.
His strength had not grown for billions of years.
His power had already reached the limit of the Multiverse in this world.
It could be said that he had no path forward.
He had to find a way to break through this level and reach the truly indescribable realm.
Over all these years, he had already planted countless seeds throughout this world.
He had enough patience to wait for these seeds to mature.
He felt that Karl could also become one of the seeds under his control, eventually ripening and being harvested by him.
"This world is becoming more and more interesting."
"Grow. Hurry and grow."
"In the end, all of you will become my food."
Oblivion murmured to himself.
Then, he waved his hand.
A message was transmitted.
In an instant, Karl's name spread throughout the entire Multiverse.
Many powerful mysterious beings and Multiverse-level existences learned that in a remote universe, an existence at the Single-Universe limit had actually been born.
The Single-Universe limit.
Within a universe, one could be said to be invincible at that level.
Unless a Multiverse-level existence personally attacked and destroyed the universe, no one could do anything to Karl.
Ordinary Multiverse-level existences would not do such a thing unless absolutely necessary.
There was no other reason.
It was not worth the cost.
To kill such an existence, one had to destroy an entire universe.
But as everyone knew, the Multiverse was formed from parallel universes.
The connections between every universe were extremely close.
Destroying one universe could cause immeasurable consequences.
The Five Great Gods could restart a universe with a single thought, so why had they never done so?
There was no other reason.
They would suffer backlash from the World Will.
The universe of the Marvel world—even after the death of a Devourer—would retaliate if one went too far.
Even a Multiverse-level existence would suffer severe injuries before such power.
Therefore, ordinary Multiverse-level existences would not act at all.
Thus, within this universe, Karl could be considered invincible.
