As for the Celestials, Karl had long heard of them.
These bastards ran unchecked across the entire Multiverse because they were powerful, and because they had someone backing them.
Even true powerhouses generally would not bother lowering themselves to argue with them.
However, Karl had never been the type to indulge their bad habits.
The one standing behind them was not an existence like The One Above All.
So what did he have to fear?
Karl sneered.
A spatial gate opened.
The attacks Exitar had fired earlier shot straight out from that massive extradimensional gate.
Boom, boom, boom!
A series of deafening blasts rang out.
Those attacks collided continuously, triggering a powerful energy tide.
The energy tide trembled and released an ear-piercing roar.
Space was shattering.
Laws were collapsing.
It was as though this entire region of space, this entire star domain, was about to be overturned.
The eyes of the Celestials were filled with shock.
"Damn it! What kind of attack is this?!"
Arishem roared.
A vast number of rules of order appeared around his body, forming a shield.
Within it, even the aura of a source emerged.
In an instant, that source of order collided with the terrifying attack.
Crack!
The starry sky was torn apart directly.
A terrifying rift appeared there.
The armor on Arishem's body visibly dimmed.
His aura also became extremely weak.
Clearly, when he was caught off guard, this move had seriously injured him.
The Celestials were indeed gods.
But aside from a few exceptional individuals, they were not necessarily perfect in every aspect.
They were somewhat like mutants.
They clearly possessed the power to destroy the world, yet their bodies could be as fragile as ordinary mortals.
Professor X, who could kill all of humanity in an instant, had actually been paralyzed for decades.
To a sorcerer, that might be difficult to imagine.
But in the Marvel Universe, this was already normal.
Most powerful beings had flaws.
The Celestials were the same.
Arishem was a typical case of overwhelming offense but weak defense.
After taking that blow while unprepared, he had nearly died.
Arishem suddenly raised his head and looked at Karl.
Stormy waves surged in his heart.
This human…
Hadn't he only just broken through to the Multiverse level?
How was he this strong?
Was this some kind of joke?
This made no sense at all.
Arishem understood in his heart.
If it had only been Exitar's attack, it could never have produced such terrifying power.
Mixed within it was Karl's source power!
Something was wrong!
"Be careful. There is something strange about this brat."
"He doesn't look like an existence that has only just broken through to the Multiverse level at all."
Arishem spoke in a deep voice.
The other Celestials also nodded secretly.
He was right.
This was indeed extremely strange.
How could someone who had just broken through to the Multiverse level be this powerful?
In an instant, he had almost wiped them all out.
Even beings who had drifted through the Multiverse for many years did not possess such power.
After roaming the Multiverse for so long, they still had that much judgment.
"Forget it. Stop pretending to hold back. Attack together!"
Arishem made up his mind and spoke.
The other Celestials also nodded.
For a moment, six Celestials surrounded Karl from all sides.
Karl revealed a cold sneer.
"What? One of you isn't my opponent, so now you want to gang up on me?"
"Aren't you Celestials supposed to be a righteous force?"
"Don't you claim to maintain the rules of the Multiverse? Then why are you surrounding one person with many?"
Karl tore into the Celestials with a barrage of words.
And it felt extremely satisfying.
As for those Celestials, their expressions became extremely ugly.
Although their entire bodies were covered in armor, making their faces impossible to see, their moods were definitely not good.
"Once we kill you and destroy your planet, naturally no one will know."
Arishem spoke sinisterly.
Karl was dumbfounded.
What the hell?
These Celestials had truly thrown away every last shred of dignity.
These bastards simply had no bottom line.
"It seems I overestimated your moral standards."
"So the famous Celestials are actually this kind of filth."
Karl sneered.
"Human, you really are childish."
"You actually intend to use the so-called morality of lower life-forms to restrain us?"
"You are far too naive."
"This world is a world where the strong devour the weak."
"Whoever has greater power is the one who is right."
"As long as we kill you, none of this will have anything to do with us."
Exitar coldly snorted.
Compared to Arishem, he was even more blatant and showed no intention of hiding anything.
"So might makes right?"
"In that case, it seems my reasoning is a little more useful than yours!"
Karl faced them with cold fury.
He swept both hands outward.
The enormous golden spell array on Earth immediately lit up.
Within the spell-array space, the two great demons Karl had placed inside suddenly released miserable screams.
A massive amount of energy was extracted from them.
"You want to fight me on my own territory?"
"You're simply courting death!"
A fierce look appeared on Karl's face.
At the center of the golden spell array, a purple beam of destruction emerged.
The beam was only a few meters thick.
Compared to the Celestials' bodies, which were casually the size of entire continents, it was simply insignificant.
However, the moment this beam appeared, the Celestials were all shocked.
"Source of Destruction!"
Even Arishem's voice twisted with fear.
Destruction was one of the most terrifying powers in this world.
It existed purely for the sake of destruction.
Before this kind of power, all other forces were fragile and worthless.
Once it reached the source level, the Law of Destruction underwent a qualitative transformation.
It could destroy the very source.
It was one of the few powers capable of completely killing a god and destroying the most fundamental part of their existence.
No wonder they were so terrified.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
For a battle at this level, a single wrong decision meant defeat.
How could they have imagined that Karl could use the power of two former great demons to launch an attack?
This kind of completely unexpected attack was the most fatal.
That purple beam appeared countless miles away in an instant.
It struck the chest of the most arrogant one, Exitar.
The supposedly indestructible Celestial armor did not play any role at all.
It was pierced through instantly by the energy of destruction.
A hole roughly one meter in diameter appeared in his chest.
For an ordinary person, this would have been terrifying.
But for a Celestial's enormous body, it was like being bitten by a mosquito.
However, Exitar's face was still filled with fear.
There was no other reason.
The purple energy began spreading wildly through his chest like a contagion.
For a moment, his chest turned purple.
