The attack from the Origin of Destruction was extremely fierce.
This was an attack that acted directly on the origin of existence.
It erased an object's existence from the most fundamental layer of the world.
It could destroy physical bodies, phantoms, and even—
Concepts.
This involved one of the unique traits of the Marvel world. In a certain sense, the gods here were conceptual beings.
They were the representatives of certain rules and certain concepts.
The most representative examples were Oblivion, Eternity, Infinity, and Death among the Five Great Gods.
They were known as the Four Abstract Entities.
They were the manifestations of four concepts.
To put it more plainly, these four had become gods through concepts.
The other gods were roughly the same.
They had driven a single path to its absolute limit.
As long as that path still existed, they would not die.
Take Eternity, for example.
As long as the entire Multiverse still had a constant law supporting its operation, Eternity would not die.
The Origin of Destruction was one of the few existences capable of erasing concepts.
That was exactly why the members of the Celestials were so terrified.
Exitar the Executioner was especially terrified.
At this moment, more than half of his chest had turned purple, as if that power was about to corrupt him completely.
Then he would be destroyed directly from this world.
"Don't just stand there! Help me!"
As he shouted, he began mobilizing the powerful energy inside his body to resist that destructive power.
Fortunately, Karl was afraid the two Great Demons he had turned into batteries would die outright, so he did not launch a second attack.
That gave them a chance to breathe.
"Quick, link up. Help him share the damage!"
"The power of this law can't possibly fight all of us at once!"
Arishem the Judge suppressed the shock in his heart and shouted to the others.
As he spoke, he was the first to move.
An almost invisible line of light emerged from his body.
It linked directly to Exitar's body.
The spreading speed of that purple destructive power slowed drastically.
When Karl saw this scene, he raised an eyebrow.
"Interesting. This really is interesting."
"To think you Celestials even have an ability like this."
"As expected of one of the oldest races in this world."
"Though right now, I'm not exactly qualified to say that so openly."
Karl smiled.
Rip.
Two transparent blades appeared in his hands.
They were powerful weapons formed from the pure Origin of Space.
They could cut through everything.
Without another word, Karl charged forward and slashed at Jemiah the Analyzer in front of him.
The Celestials were an extremely vast race.
Their division of labor was clear.
Every member specialized in completely different things.
For example, Exitar was responsible for battle, while Arishem was responsible for judgment.
Jemiah the Analyzer, however, specialized in analysis and research.
He could determine what specialties any living being was capable of displaying.
He had played a very important role in the modification of Mutants.
Jemiah was responsible for research.
Naturally, his combat strength was a little weaker.
Forget comparing him to a battle-specialized existence like Exitar. Even among the Celestials, he could be considered weak.
Faced with Karl's fierce attacks, he completely lost the ability to hold on after only a few exchanges.
"Arishem, save me!"
Jemiah shouted in a sharp voice.
Hiss!
By the narrowest margin, he dodged one of Karl's attacks.
However, the passing power of space still left a very deep mark on his armor.
Blue energy gushed out from within.
It was just like blood flowing out after a human was injured.
"Gammenon, help him!"
Arishem shouted.
A yellow Celestial immediately made a move.
The yellow scepter in his hand suddenly expanded, and a massive amount of yellow energy poured down from the scepter like rain.
In the blink of an eye, all of that energy grew and transformed into all kinds of creatures.
Without hesitation, those creatures rushed toward Karl, trying to entangle him.
Karl raised an eyebrow.
The space around him exploded and shattered in a ring.
The vibrating power of space spread outward in every direction.
Those creatures with all kinds of abilities had not even had the chance to attack before they were cut apart by that violent spatial power, turning into scattered fragments.
However, that still gave Jemiah a chance to gather with the other Celestials.
Almost invisible links appeared.
The six members of the Celestials connected directly to one another.
The injuries Karl had inflicted actually began to heal.
The purple color on Exitar's body, caused by the attack from the Origin of Destruction, also began to slowly fade.
In exchange, however, the bodies of the other Celestial members began to dim.
This was because the energy inside their bodies was being continuously shared.
For a moment, all six Celestials looked somewhat dim.
What was going on?
The six of them had not even used any real methods yet.
And they had nearly lost two members to Karl alone?
Were they still dreaming?
The Celestials had run rampant across the Multiverse for many years. When had they ever suffered such contempt?
A humiliation!
This was simply a humiliation!
The Celestial members could not accept it. Their expressions all became gloomy.
Although Karl could not see their faces, he could sense a resentment that had almost become tangible.
"What? Since you can't beat me, all you can do is rage uselessly?"
"The famous Celestials only have this much ability?"
Karl waved his hand, and the two Rift-Cleaving Blades vanished.
Instead, dozens of red magical shields floated around him.
It was clear that Karl was being extremely cautious.
The Celestials could not possibly have only this much ability.
"You will soon know our true power!"
"Human, you have no idea who you have provoked!"
Arishem spoke furiously.
The next moment, his body lit up.
A massive energy hand appeared out of thin air and grabbed toward Karl.
Karl could even feel the astonishing force contained within that huge hand.
However, Karl was not surprised. Instead, he sighed and shook his head.
This move…
How should he put it?
Its power was indeed extremely strong, but in front of someone who truly understood combat, it was crude.
If Karl were the one using it, the same amount of power could erupt with even greater force.
The strong in the Marvel world were like this.
They relied on crushing their opponents with various forms of energy and did not pay much attention to technique.
When they had overwhelming power, absolute strength was indeed extremely powerful.
But once they faced someone at the same level of power, the importance of technique began to rise.
Why was Karl able to suppress these people?
Because his control over power was superior to that of the Celestial members.
For example, right now.
He could instantly see multiple flaws in the energy structure of this attack.
With a blink of his eyes, a beam of energy shot out from his hand.
The giant hand was struck directly.
The next moment, it underwent an energy collapse.
The Celestials were instantly stunned.
