Karl paid no attention to the battlefield on Earth.
Against those robots, the Avengers were more than capable of handling things.
The ones he had to deal with were the people hiding behind Ultron.
Since that fellow had already sent an invitation, Karl naturally had no reason to fear it.
In an instant, Karl appeared directly in outer space.
"Come out."
Karl stood in space.
Vast Mental Force spread outward in every direction.
That tyrannical Mental Force was like a colossal serpent biting its own tail, wrapping the surrounding void into a sealed cocoon.
The sheer terror of that power was plain to see.
"How ostentatious."
"It seems the Ancient One wasn't wrong to hand the position of Sorcerer Supreme to you."
A blood-red figure appeared.
It was none other than Mephisto, one of the oldest and most powerful Hell Lords in Hell.
"Mephisto. So you were the one manipulating things from behind the scenes?"
"Who gave you the courage to come after me?"
"Who are your helpers? Call them out."
Karl sneered disdainfully.
It was not that he looked down on Mephisto.
It was just that this old bastard was even more cautious than he was.
Mephisto truly dared to scheme against anyone.
But when it came to appearing in front of others, he did not have that kind of courage.
Even if this was only an avatar and he could not truly die, the loss of such an avatar would still deal Mephisto a tremendous blow.
Even if Karl lent him courage, Mephisto still would not dare to act alone.
If he truly angered Karl, Karl could enter Hell directly and beat his way to Mephisto's door.
By then, this guy would probably be beaten senseless.
Now that he had appeared before Karl, he definitely had some scheme in mind.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
Mephisto could not help clapping.
"As expected of the new Sorcerer Supreme."
"Not only are you powerful, your intelligence is in no way inferior to the Ancient One's back then."
"Kamar-Taj must truly be blessed by fate."
"To think two powerful Sorcerers Supreme could appear in succession."
"Shuma-Gorath, you might as well come out."
"Trying to ambush this guy won't work."
Mephisto spoke.
The dimension twisted.
Karl sensed a wave of evil aura appear.
A monster that looked like an octopus, with a massive eye in the center of its body, appeared in outer space.
Its body was even covered in countless particles of cosmic dust.
If an ordinary person saw this creature, they would go insane.
"Shuma-Gorath."
Karl's expression became solemn.
This guy was a legendary demon.
Whether in terms of power or strength, he was extraordinarily formidable.
Unexpectedly, Mephisto had actually found such an evil monster to act as his accomplice.
If Karl did not want to expose his overwhelming Single-Universe-level strength, then dealing with these two would truly not be easy.
However, one should always keep a card in reserve.
He would fight first and see how things went.
"You two demons actually dare to invade Earth."
"It seems you've been living too comfortably all these years, without anyone putting you in your place."
Karl spoke coldly.
"Arrogant and ignorant."
"So what if you are the so-called Sorcerer Supreme?"
"You are nothing more than a sheltered fool from one tiny corner of Earth."
Shuma-Gorath's sharp voice rang out.
"A sheltered fool?"
"You are also one of the ancient beings, Shuma-Gorath. Do you not know how many terrifying existences there were in ancient times?"
Karl said disdainfully.
Shuma-Gorath fell silent.
If this were the ancient era, even it would not have dared to appear here.
Back then, even Mephisto would probably have had to lower his head.
"Heh. You are indeed very powerful."
"But facing the two of us, do you really think you can kill us both instantly?"
Mephisto said coldly.
"I may not be able to kill your true body, but destroying your avatar is extremely easy."
"Stop trying to stall for time."
"Make your move."
"Do you really think I'll be held back by you?"
A disdainful smile appeared on Karl's face.
The next moment, the golden Sacred Sword in his hand slashed directly toward Mephisto.
Mephisto was caught off guard.
He was actually sent flying by Karl's strike.
Fortunately, Shuma-Gorath made a move.
Otherwise, Mephisto might have been pierced straight through.
Even so, the two great demons were still shocked.
This kid's power was far too terrifying.
Even Mephisto had no confidence in victory now.
But he was still a great demon who had roamed Hell for countless years.
How could he possibly be simple?
And yet, even someone like him had nearly been wounded by Karl in a single strike.
This kid was truly somewhat terrifying.
The two exchanged a glance.
Their eyes were filled with gravity.
…
What they did not know was that on Earth, there was someone even more skilled in this kind of work.
That person was Kaluu.
As a top-tier sorcerer, Kaluu naturally possessed very powerful strength.
According to the strategy they had agreed upon, as long as they could hold Karl's attention, Kaluu would secretly enter the Sanctum.
Then he would shut down the Sanctum's defenses.
In other words, before entering the Sanctum, every step had already been prepared.
Everything had gone completely according to his expectations.
In his imagination, he would use forbidden magic to enter the Sanctum directly, bypassing all of the Sanctum's magical defenses.
Then, at the very end, he would shut the Sanctum down.
However, reality often differed greatly from imagination.
Kaluu had just used hidden magic to enter the Sanctum when he felt an intense magical tremor.
Immediately afterward, he was violently blasted out of a deep-layer dimension.
Several spells slammed directly into his body.
For an instant, Kaluu even felt as if his body could no longer move, and the energy inside him fell into complete stillness.
Kaluu: ???
What the hell?
How had he been discovered?
Kaluu was completely dumbfounded.
What he had used was an extremely profound spell.
His true body had been in another dimension.
It was even more advanced than the Mirror Dimension.
Logically speaking, there was no way he should have been discovered.
But now, he had been discovered.
Being discovered was one thing.
The moment they met, these sorcerers had directly thrown two spells into his face.
And he actually could not break free!
What kind of joke was this?
He was now a sorcerer even stronger than the Ancient One!
There were actually sorcerers on Earth capable of using magic to restrain him?
Was this a joke?
If Kamar-Taj had this many powerful sorcerers, why were they even targeting Kamar-Taj?
They should have just turned around and run.
If there were not that many powerful sorcerers here, then what magic had restrained him?
Kaluu's face was filled with confusion.
The answer was revealed very quickly.
Kaluu saw a Karl who looked exactly like the one outside walk out.
"What!"
"Aren't you being held back by Mephisto and the others?"
Kaluu asked, his face full of shock.
"You all know how to use avatars."
"Is it really that strange for me to know avatar magic?"
Karl said indifferently.
Kaluu's mind went blank.
