"My grandfather has already retired. He spends his days quite leisurely now. He also asked me to pass along his regards if I ever met you again."
After hearing Karl's question, Zhou Yinyin answered immediately.
At the same time, she could clearly feel the aura radiating from Karl.
It was so overwhelming that her body instinctively trembled.
She had believed she had grown extremely powerful over the past few years.
But standing before Karl now, she realized something shocking.
She could barely endure the unintentional pressure of his presence.
"Alright."
Karl nodded calmly.
"Please give him my regards as well."
Then he added casually,
"I'll head over there now."
With that, Karl carried Red Crystal and little Morgan and walked toward May, Raven, and the others.
"Of course. Please go ahead."
Zhou Yinyin stepped aside respectfully.
After Karl left, she quietly let out a breath.
The pressure he exerted had been immense.
And that had only been an unconscious aura.
She couldn't even imagine how terrifying Karl had become.
Soon afterward, Morgan's first birthday banquet officially began.
After saying a few welcoming words, Tony Stark even tried to invite Karl to give a speech.
Karl simply shook his head.
He had nothing to say.
And frankly, he was too lazy to speak.
As the banquet began, countless luxurious dishes were served.
Every bottle of red wine placed on the tables was worth millions of dollars.
Karl sat calmly at a long table with:
HelaYanBlack PhoenixMayRaven
They ate slowly while chatting casually.
Only Pietro seemed extremely nervous.
He stared at the dishes in front of him.
He clearly wanted to eat—
But he didn't dare to.
This made Crystal laugh softly.
She calmly began serving food onto Pietro's plate.
Unlike Pietro, Crystal had already figured out the situation.
If Karl had allowed Pietro to visit Attilan and even bring her here—
Then Karl obviously had no intention of making things difficult for her.
There was nothing to worry about.
Both Wanda and Big Wanda rolled their eyes at Pietro's timid behavior.
The banquet lasted the entire afternoon.
It followed the typical Western banquet style.
Guests sat together eating, chatting, and occasionally dancing.
Some guests even pulled their companions onto the dance floor.
At the same time, many people began presenting birthday gifts for Morgan.
Watching this scene, Karl suddenly realized something awkward.
He hadn't prepared a gift.
After thinking for a moment, he decided on something simple.
He would give Morgan a blessing.
After all, he was now a Single-Universe-level being.
A blessing from someone like him would certainly be extraordinary.
Karl raised his hand slightly.
Golden light suddenly descended from the sky.
It enveloped little Morgan completely.
The golden radiance lasted for nearly three minutes before slowly fading.
Karl immediately examined Morgan with his mental perception to see what effect the blessing had produced.
Eventually, he discovered several results.
The blessing had granted Morgan:
Permanent disease resistanceIncreased natural luckEnhanced cognitive potential
When Tony learned this, he smiled with complete satisfaction.
He had never wanted Karl to give Morgan some extravagant treasure.
Karl simply returning from space had already been the greatest gift she could receive.
By evening, all the guests had gradually departed.
After lunch, Tony finally approached Karl again.
"Karl," Tony said calmly.
"I've almost collected all the resources you requested."
"But there are still a few items missing."
After several exhausting days of work, Tony had managed to gather the minimum resources Karl had listed.
"That's enough."
Karl waved his hand casually.
"Let's go."
"We'll build the warship now."
"And we'll leave Earth tomorrow."
"I still need to gather stellar resources."
"And help Black Phoenix collect more fragments of the Phoenix Force."
After hearing Karl's answer, Tony nodded and led him outside the valley.
Suddenly, the surrounding mountains began opening.
Huge mechanical platforms emerged from underground.
They revealed the enormous stockpile of materials Tony had gathered.
Alongside them were the new element reactors he had manufactured over the past few days.
Karl immediately stored the reactors inside his dimensional energy storage space.
He even instructed Haohan to apply the Infinite Concept Energy Formula to them.
Tony had manufactured nearly one million new element reactors in just a few days.
Every factory belonging to Stark Industries had been working nonstop.
Between Stark Industries' funds, Tony's personal fortune, and the money Karl had previously transferred to him—
Almost all of it had been spent.
The materials required to synthesize adamantium and produce new element reactors were incredibly expensive.
And because Tony had rushed the production process, the costs had increased even further.
After being processed through the Infinite Concept Energy Formula, the one million reactors produced energy equivalent to:
One billion reactors.
That amount of energy was roughly equivalent to the power output of one million stars.
Karl looked at the massive stockpile of materials and spoke calmly.
"Haohan."
"Begin mobilizing energy."
"Start constructing Tianren No.7."
"Use these materials first."
"For the internal core, generate vibranium directly and combine it with adamantium alloy."
"As for the weapon systems and internal structure, follow the existing database blueprint."
Haohan responded immediately.
[Yes, sir.]
[Initiating computational mobilization…]
[Retrieving Tianren-7 design database…]
[Beginning structural fabrication…]
[Initiating core manufacturing…]
[Material creation from scratch…]
[Construction of Tianren-7 has begun.]
[Estimated construction time: 24 hours.]
[Estimated energy consumption: 500,000 stellar energy units.]
Karl frowned slightly.
"Speed it up."
"Complete construction within 12 hours."
"Add another 500,000 stellar energy units."
Immediately, the mountains of materials began lifting into the sky automatically.
The adamantium alloy separated and reshaped itself into countless components.
Meanwhile, vibranium and additional adamantium began forming out of thin air, assembling together in midair.
Haohan responded again.
[Acknowledged.]
[Adding 500,000 stellar energy units.]
[Estimated time reduction: 18 hours.]
[Maximum computational power engaged.]
[Manufacturing of Tianren-7 accelerated.]
[Estimated completion time: 6 hours.]
The moment Karl gave the order, the entire process accelerated dramatically.
The materials began assembling at astonishing speed.
The outline of the massive warship rapidly took shape in the sky.
Tony stood nearby in complete shock.
Karl had just complained that 24 hours was too slow.
Then he casually added another 500,000 stellar energy units to speed up the process.
That meant a total of one million stellar energy units were being consumed.
If Tony understood correctly—
Each unit represented the energy output of an entire star.
Which meant that Karl had just burned the energy equivalent of one million suns—
All to build a single warship in six hours.
