With a single teleport, Karl appeared an unknown number of galaxies away.
This was the battlefield where he had fought Azure Star.
Beside it was the galaxy that was still expanding.
Even now, passing planets and other objects were constantly being swept up by space and dragged inside.
According to Karl's estimate, this galaxy might exist for tens of thousands of years before it was gradually filled by matter from the universe and disappeared.
Karl felt that this place was very suitable as a graveyard for several great demons.
That way, if they died somewhere else, he would not have to go through the trouble of moving their bodies here for burial.
On his way here, Karl had left very obvious markers.
With the level those two great demons possessed, they should not be unable to find him.
However, they arrived a little later than he had expected.
Karl waited in place for a full two hours.
Only then did a spatial fluctuation flash.
Kaluu, whose face was slightly green, walked out of a spatial rift together with the two great demons.
"Why were you so slow?"
"Aren't you great demons with terrifying reputations throughout the universe? Is this all you have?"
Karl spoke with dissatisfaction.
"You despicable, shameless human brat!"
"You chose a battlefield like this because you wanted to exhaust our power in advance, didn't you?!"
Mephisto gnashed his teeth as he spoke.
This brat had set the battlefield thirty-two million light-years away.
Even light itself would need thirty-two million years to travel from Earth to this place.
Even though all kinds of natural passages existed throughout the universe, they still had to pass through over a hundred spatial jumps to reach this place.
Who knew how much power they had consumed in the process?
This brat had definitely done it on purpose!
Karl was too despicable! Too shameless!
He had actually used this kind of method!
"You've really misunderstood me."
"Who could have imagined that all of you would be this slow?"
"Such a short distance, yet it actually took you so long to arrive."
"Kaluu, didn't you comprehend the Law of Void?"
Karl asked curiously.
The other two great demons also looked toward Kaluu, who stood between them.
Kaluu's lips trembled with rage.
Was he joking?!
The Law of Void and the Law of Space were two completely different things!
Besides, even if what he had comprehended was the Law of Space, it would still be impossible for him to act as casually as Karl did!
Did he really think teleporting across tens of millions of light-years in the universe was that easy?
This was a distance many civilizations would never be able to cross in their entire existence!
If traversing the vast universe were not so difficult, how could Asgard's Bifrost be so famous?
Even the scale of a single light-year was unimaginably vast.
An entire planet was nothing more than a speck of dust.
Karl was simply abnormal!
How could he have mastered something so outrageous?
Forget his current state.
Kaluu might only be able to reach this level after his strength rose by another full tier.
"What are you two looking at me for?"
"Use your skills against your enemy. We're on the same side."
"Why didn't either of you cross space and reach this place yourselves? You relied entirely on me!"
Kaluu spoke in grief and fury.
Mephisto and Shuma-Gorath were both a little embarrassed.
They did not have the ability to cross distances measured in light-years within a short period of time.
Their true bodies had descended by relying on the connection with their avatars.
Relying on themselves to cross such an enormous spatial distance?
They did not have that ability.
"Ahem."
"Leave this place to us."
"It's time to let this arrogant brat understand what real power is."
"Relax. We will easily kill this brat."
The two great demons both tried to comfort Kaluu at once.
Then they turned to look at Karl.
Savage smiles appeared on their faces.
"Human brat, tremble."
"I'll let you witness the mighty power of a Lord of Hell!"
Mephisto spoke arrogantly.
Many mysterious patterns appeared across his red skin.
Clearly, Mephisto had instantly regained his confidence.
A black-red flash of light appeared.
Mephisto's figure vanished, and a staff appeared in his hand. At its tip was a skull.
Inside the skull's empty eye sockets, black flames were still burning.
Mephisto raised the staff in his hand and pointed it directly at Karl.
A stream of black flame shot out from the skull's mouth.
It burned straight toward Karl.
Karl felt a chill behind him.
It was his instinct warning him from the unseen.
This attack was best not taken head-on!
Without any hesitation, Karl's mind moved.
A portal appeared in front of him.
The black flame was directly teleported away.
"Ridiculous, brat."
"Do you think I wouldn't be prepared?"
"I expected this move of yours long ago. My magic is bound to your soul aura."
"Come back!"
Mephisto shouted.
He waved the staff in his hand, wanting to summon back the black flame Karl had teleported away to some unknown place.
Unfortunately, things were not as simple as he imagined.
Although he activated a powerful force and kept beckoning, the black flame did not return as he expected, nor did it attack Karl again.
Instead, there was no reaction at all.
"Damn you, brat!"
"Where did you teleport my magic?"
Mephisto roared in rage.
"Not far. Just over there."
"You can try to get it back."
Karl pointed toward the imploding galaxy beside them as he spoke.
Mephisto's pupils suddenly shrank, and his face twitched nonstop.
How would he dare enter that kind of place?
If he went in, even he would not survive!
This brat was truly damned!
Mephisto looked painfully at the staff in his hand, then blankly retreated.
"This brat has hidden his strength."
Mephisto stared at Karl with extreme vigilance.
Space magic was not supposed to be that abnormal.
In truth, space magic was one of the most unstable forms of magic.
It was very easily disturbed by all kinds of energy.
This was the reason most cosmic civilizations could not build stable cosmic portals.
Using portals in battle placed even stricter demands on them.
What powerful being did not understand a little about space?
Almost every powerful being possessed some kind of spatial ability. That was the most basic thing.
In front of beings like them, space magic should have been greatly weakened.
But right now, that was not the case at all.
Karl was using space magic recklessly right in front of him, without being affected in the slightest.
There was only one explanation.
This brat had hidden his strength!
His attainments in space far surpassed theirs, perhaps even crushing them completely.
Mephisto stared fixedly at Karl.
A smile appeared on Karl's face.
"Would you reveal your true strength in front of your enemies?"
Karl's face was filled with disdain.
The three people opposite him looked at one another.
