Therefore, Karl grew stronger with every exchange. Combined with Doomsday's adaptive evolution, the attacks of the two Celestials were gradually becoming less effective against him. Before long, their assaults would lose nearly all lethality, leaving them as little more than prey awaiting slaughter.
Golden light flashed within Karl's eyes as he continuously shifted across the battlefield. His figure appeared and disappeared around the two Celestials, launching a relentless barrage of attacks. Each punch carried devastating cosmic energy, striking the Celestials from impossible angles.
The two Celestials repeatedly predicted Karl's movements through their vast cosmic perception. Several times they successfully intercepted his next position, meeting him with colossal weapons capable of shattering planets.
Boom!
Elsewhere, Ganata unleashed the immense energies stored within her body against the remaining Celestial. As the daughter of Galactus, she possessed extraordinary control over countless forms of energy. She continuously fused different energy signatures together before launching them as devastating attacks.
The Celestial found himself steadily pushed onto the defensive.
However, Ganata's abilities possessed a drawback.
The more energy she consumed and expended, the more overwhelming her hunger became. If pushed too far, she could lose control and enter a ravenous state capable of devouring everything around her.
Boom!
Without hesitation, Ganata drew upon the multiversal-level energy reserve her father had previously granted her.
The Celestial immediately attempted to evade.
Unfortunately for him, Ganata's energy manipulation rivaled his own movement abilities. No matter where he fled, her attacks relentlessly pursued him. He was completely suppressed and had no opportunity to repair his damaged armor.
Even when he attempted to utilize temporal manipulation against her, Ganata simply absorbed the energy involved.
His greatest advantage became meaningless.
As for his weapon, it had already been devoured by Ganata earlier in the battle.
The Celestial could not comprehend why Galactus's daughter would willingly aid Karl.
Every explosion generated by Ganata's attacks carried enough force to threaten entire star systems. New wounds continuously appeared across the Celestial's body, while his armor had already reached the brink of collapse.
However, Ganata did not recklessly expend multiversal-level energy. Even she possessed only a limited supply. Originally, she had intended to replenish it upon meeting her father again, but circumstances had prevented that from happening.
Meanwhile, Karl became increasingly exhilarated as the battle progressed.
His combat power continued rising.
With Doomsday's seemingly inexhaustible energy reserves and the blessings of the Horse and Dog Charms continuously sustaining him, Karl had effectively become a perpetual-motion engine.
He launched attack after attack without pause.
The two Celestials coordinated perfectly, repeatedly striking Karl with their cosmic weapons and divine abilities. Although they managed to wound him, flashes of green light restored his injuries almost instantly.
The moment he recovered, another devastating assault followed.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As time passed, the damage inflicted by the two Celestials decreased further and further.
Even their cosmic abilities began losing effectiveness.
Realizing conventional attacks would no longer work, the two Celestials finally resorted to conceptual-level powers. They attempted to directly alter fundamental aspects of reality itself, seeking to rewrite universal laws in order to erase Karl.
Yet every attempt failed.
At best, they could redefine Karl's attacks as nothingness or alter portions of the energy he projected.
However, they could not erase Karl himself.
Nor could they redefine his existence.
Likewise, while they could manipulate some external manifestations of his attacks, they could not alter the fundamental energies within Karl's body.
The reason was simple.
The System existed beyond the scope of their influence.
The conceptual authority wielded by these Celestials was formidable, but not absolute.
Although their reality-altering attempts failed, Vastness immediately recorded every conceptual law and cosmic modification they used. Massive data analysis and deduction processes began at once.
As the battle continued, Karl gradually overwhelmed both opponents.
Their armor was reduced to ruins.
White blood mixed with traces of pale gold flowed from countless wounds.
Boom!
At that moment, Karl mobilized every ounce of energy within his body.
The power surging through him became so immense that, aside from the protected chest area, his Gold Cloth shattered under the strain.
He had activated Kaioken.
Ten thousand times amplification.
This terrifying multiplier was only possible because previous uses had forced further evolution within the Doomsday Gene.
Cracks spread throughout surrounding space.
The fractures expanded rapidly in every direction.
Karl floated above the raging spatial turbulence, his eyes blazing with golden radiance.
Even the violent currents of distorted space could not harm him.
After ensuring every reserve of energy had been fully mobilized, Karl thrust both fists forward.
A colossal attack erupted.
Golden energy formed its core, while seven-colored energy intertwined throughout it.
The blast pierced through dimensional barriers and raced toward the two Celestials.
The two Celestials exchanged glances.
Immediately, they attempted to create a spacetime wormhole to redirect the attack.
But before the wormhole could stabilize—
The attack appeared directly in front of them.
There was no time to react.
The two Celestials could only grit their teeth and raise their weapons in defense.
The power contained within the attack was so overwhelming that even they lacked confidence in surviving it.
Even conceptual manipulation proved ineffective.
The attack carried the power of the Six Infinity Stones.
Their authority simply could not override the fundamental rules embodied by those cosmic artifacts.
Boom!
Powerless to evade, they could only endure.
For roughly three seconds, they held on.
Then their weapons disintegrated.
Their arms vanished.
The next moment, the beam tore through their colossal bodies, blasting enormous holes completely through them.
Yet the attack did not stop.
It continued onward across the cosmos.
Only after annihilating a distant star system millions of light-years away did the energy finally dissipate.
Everything in its path was devastated.
Space itself shattered.
Even regions that survived became dangerously unstable.
The two Celestials lost all signs of life and drifted silently through the void.
A flash of light restored Karl's Gold Cloth.
His aura instantly returned to its peak.
As for the remaining Celestial, one of his arms had already been devoured by Ganata.
After witnessing the deaths of his two companions, terror finally overcame him.
Seeing that the situation had become hopeless, he immediately attempted to flee.
Just as he was about to escape through space itself, a golden blast struck him and forcibly knocked him back out of the dimensional passage.
The next instant, Ganata swallowed him whole.
Concerned that the Celestial might still resist internally, Karl launched another Kaioken-enhanced punch.
Only after watching the attack pierce through the Celestial's chest did Karl allow Ganata to completely consume him.
At the same time, he gestured toward the other two corpses.
Ganata did not hesitate.
She swallowed the bodies of the remaining Celestials as well.
Across the universe, countless powerful beings and advanced civilizations watched in stunned silence.
Three more Celestials had fallen.
Not only had they been killed—
Even their corpses had been devoured.
In the next moment, countless observing gazes vanished.
This was no joke.
The God of Slaughter had already killed five members of the Celestial Host.
If he ever turned his attention toward them, who could possibly stop him?
Had they not just witnessed three Celestials reduced to corpses?
