Right from the start, Karl gave the Celestials a warning blow.
However, the Celestials were no ordinary beings.
After rampaging through the Multiverse for so long, they were not the kind of existences that could be frightened so easily.
They merely steadied themselves.
Then Arishem the Judge spoke in a deep voice.
"Human, you have violated the laws of the Multiverse."
"We have been ordered to erase you."
"You had best not resist. Otherwise, we will take even more extreme measures."
Although they did not share a language, Arishem's words carried intense psychic fluctuations, and Karl could easily understand what he meant.
That left him completely confused.
As expected of the Celestials, the greatest troublemakers in the Multiverse.
How had he violated any so-called laws of the Multiverse?
Why had he never heard of such a thing existing in the Multiverse?
Could this thing have been made up on the spot by these bastards?
"Violated the laws of the Multiverse?"
"How come I never knew the so-called Multiverse had any laws like that?"
"Hasn't the Multiverse always operated on survival of the fittest, where the strong rule over the weak?"
Karl spoke coldly.
"You created a universe at will and consumed the source of the Multiverse."
"That is an unforgivable crime!"
Arishem spoke with a righteous expression.
The psychic fluctuations of the two collided.
In outer space, they produced waves of transparent ripples.
"So you have already decided I'm guilty and are just looking for an excuse."
"This is the first time I've heard of such a ban existing in the Multiverse."
"Are you sure you didn't simply invent it by force?"
"Back then, when the Demiurge and Gaea did it, why didn't you interfere?"
Karl sneered.
These Celestials were simply spouting nonsense.
The things they themselves had done had long since piled up into countless crimes.
If this were judged by any sane civilization, they would have been executed long ago.
And yet they still had the nerve to stand here lecturing him?
"Hmph."
"You still dare argue."
"Exitar, kill him."
Arishem coldly snorted after being struck in a sore spot.
Back then, they had also tried to target the Demiurge and those gods.
However, their ending had been extremely miserable.
Even the strongest among them, their patriarch, had suffered severe injuries.
After so many years, they had only continued to decline from their former glory.
How could they dare provoke those gods again?
But toward someone who challenged their dignity like this, they had never shown mercy.
After Arishem gave the order, Exitar immediately moved.
Exitar was a Celestial wearing yellow-and-blue armor. He looked dull and stiff, almost like a robot.
However, his power was genuine.
Among the Celestials, he was the one most skilled in destruction.
He was specifically responsible for erasing civilizations that Arishem judged unworthy.
There was a reason any civilization that survived in the Marvel Universe was still alive.
Which one of them did not have at least one hidden trump card?
If Exitar encountered some unexpected advanced technology, he might even suffer a reversal.
Yet after erasing so many civilizations, Exitar remained safe and sound.
One could imagine just how terrifyingly powerful he was.
He only took one step forward.
A terrifying Deathly Power spread out from his body.
The orbital debris around Earth instantly turned to dust.
In his palm, like the armor of Iron Man, there was a crystal device.
He raised his hand.
A crimson pillar of light shot straight toward Karl.
Within that red pillar of light was an explosive, destructive aura.
It was like a volcanic eruption.
Violent. Restless.
As though it wanted to melt everything in the world.
In an instant, the temperature in outer space rose by several thousand degrees.
Karl's expression grew focused.
Outer space was different from Earth.
There was no real medium for transmission.
Heat transfer basically relied only on radiation, and its speed was extremely slow.
They were at least hundreds of millions of kilometers apart.
That could only mean the heat source was terrifying beyond belief.
Karl waved his hand.
A Tao Mandala appeared in front of him.
However, across the entire shield, a nearly imperceptible shimmer flickered constantly.
That was Karl applying the Laws of Time and Space.
Strange fluctuations flashed.
The Tao Mandala directly blocked Karl's front.
Sizzle!
The fiery-red explosive energy beam struck the shield directly.
The seemingly unstoppable magical beam was instantly annihilated.
"Not bad, kid."
"No wonder you were able to break through to the Multiverse level."
"But what comes next won't be that simple. Heh heh heh."
Exitar let out a hoarse, grating laugh.
Then he raised his hand again.
Red flames burned behind him, and the energy fluctuations around his body became terrifying.
A blinding light shone.
Another terrifying beam shot toward Karl.
For a moment, the surrounding area was filled with all kinds of high-energy aftershocks.
Boom!
A series of booming sounds rang out around them.
Aside from Earth, which was protected by the spell array, the other planets in the Solar System actually exploded in an instant.
Massive fragments drifted through space.
Even the core of the Solar System, the largest celestial body within it, the Sun, was directly split in half by that terrifying power.
Red, high-temperature plasma drifted through the universe.
Blinding light spread outward in every direction.
Karl's expression darkened.
These bastards!
Now he would have to spend a great deal of effort repairing the Solar System.
"Do the Celestials really act this lawlessly?"
A vortex appeared in front of Karl.
It directly swallowed that beam.
"It is merely a remote universe."
"So what if your entire universe is destroyed?"
Exitar spoke disdainfully.
He fired one terrifying red beam after another from his hand.
That terrifying energy could erase an entire star system in an instant.
The terrifying, almost endless power was unleashed directly.
The entire Solar System was cleared out.
Everything was flattened.
Whether it was wreckage or any inorganic matter that could have been used for repairs, all of it was evaporated by that terrifying energy.
And that was merely the aftershock of that terrifying energy beam.
The terrifying energy that reached Karl was fully tens of thousands of times stronger than the aftershock.
This energy was simply too horrifying.
Even the cosmic barrier could barely endure it.
Yet in the face of such power, Karl remained extremely calm.
Spatial fluctuations continued flashing across his face.
Those red beams of light were instantly drawn into a certain space by him.
"There is an old saying: arrogance always invites disaster."
"From where I'm standing, you are truly courting death."
"If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't understand what consequences are."
Karl's expression was extremely cold.
The Celestials' lawless behavior of damaging this universe had filled him with rage.
He had to give these bastards a profound lesson!
For a moment, vast spatial fluctuations began to gather.
