Chapter 301: The Goddess of Love: Aphrodite's Thoughts
Karl felt the beautiful woman in his arms tremble slightly, then a smile appeared on his face, while Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia's hearts were being impacted by the words of Queen of the Underworld: Persephone.
Hearing her describe their current actions, they felt the desire in their hearts merge with the impact of those words, creating a unique sensation that made them want Karl's favor even more.
Then Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia looked up at Karl with adoring eyes.
Their eyes even held a hint of longing and pleading, while the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, hearing Queen of the Underworld: Persephone's words, also felt a unique emotion well up inside her, an emotion that fiercely stimulated the desire and craving within this Goddess of desire.
Karl looked at the two beautiful women in his arms and nodded, then Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia stepped down from Karl's embrace, tidied their divine ornaments, and approached Queen of the Underworld: Persephone.
Slap—slap—!
Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia unceremoniously slapped Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, one on each cheek.
Their auras instantly intimidated Queen of the Underworld: Persephone.
Don't let their demure appearance in Karl's arms fool you; both of them were originally Heavenly Father Level, not to mention the terrifying aura from their long years in high positions.
And Mother Earth: Gaia was one of the first ancient deities; her aura alone was enough to awe the Queen of the Underworld, let alone with Queen Hera also present!
"Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, how dare you! What we want to do is our business.
As for the Greek Pantheon, it's a thing of the past!
Moreover, Zeus was notoriously promiscuous; he himself couldn't even count how many women he had!
Since he could betray me, then I naturally don't have to care about him!
If he died, he died; it saves me from seeing something upsetting.
As for why the Greek Pantheon was destroyed, don't you have a clue? Isn't it because that old man Zeus coveted the Goddesses of Asgard and Frigga? Otherwise, how could he have died!"
"If you want to blame someone, blame Zeus and those false gods for their lack of strength!
They deserved to be killed, and I don't care about their lives.
I am very happy now, think whatever you want.
Call me cheap, call me shameless, but do you think you're any better?
Every woman here understands that we are all ultimately the God King's possessions.
What are you pretending for?" Queen Hera said coldly to Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, who was covering her face and looking at her with anger.
Hearing Queen Hera's words, Karl was a bit stunned.
So it was for this reason that Zeus led the Greek Gods to invade Asgard? Didn't they say it was to seize territory after Odin died?
It seems he was still too naive, but thinking of Frigga's appearance, Karl felt a bit strange.
Although Frigga wasn't old and still had her charms, Karl didn't like that type, and besides, she was his good friend's mother.
"Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, you have no right to criticize me, and neither does Zeus.
I do as I please; what are you to me? By seniority, you should call me mother.
For the Greek Pantheon to be where it is today, you should consider why Hades and Ares fought great battles every thousand years, why Zeus didn't stop them, and why more and more gods fell while fewer and fewer new gods were born."
Mother Earth: Gaia, wearing a light blue long dress and divine ornaments, said coldly to Queen of the Underworld: Persephone.
Her voice had returned to its original ethereal quality, making her appear even more noble and inviolable.
"Hehehehe, you speak so nicely, but haven't you already surrendered at the feet of your enemy, you two lowly women!!!
I am ashamed to be associated with you!!!!" Queen of the Underworld: Persephone scoffed after hearing Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia's words, then angrily said to the two of them.
After speaking, she tried to turn and leave, but the next moment she was once again subdued by the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite.
"Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, you cannot leave yet.
You are a gift I offer to the God King.
Only after the God King bestows his favor upon you may you leave."
The Goddess of Love: Aphrodite said calmly to Queen of the Underworld: Persephone after subduing her, her eyes flashing with an inexplicable glint.
Her heart had already begun to beat faster.
"You! What are you doing! Let go of me quickly!! You...!
I understand, you want to collude with them! So that's it, you slut! bitch! Goddess of desire, hehehehe! bitch!!"
Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, hearing the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite's words, was still puzzled.
Then, remembering when she had introduced herself to that man and also mentioned her other divine title, she understood.
The Goddess of Love: Aphrodite was preparing to offer herself to that man as a token of allegiance, and thereby gain favor and affection!
Karl, hearing Queen of the Underworld: Persephone's words, also recalled when the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite had mentioned her other divine title when introducing herself, coupled with her kneeling on both knees when she bowed to him.
He then showed a knowing smile.
He hadn't expected this Goddess of Love to be so pragmatic.
Karl then rose from the throne, walked to stand between Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia, and put his arms around their delicate, milk-white waists.
Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia also took the opportunity to lean into Karl's embrace.
Karl looked at Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, whose delicate and smooth body was encased in a black long dress.
Golden light flashed in his eyes; she was immediately controlled by Karl and began to float slowly in the air, her mouth also sealed.
He didn't want to hear her nagging curses anymore.
Then Karl, embracing the two noble goddesses, looked towards the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite's position.
"God King... Aphrodite is willing to pledge allegiance to you, willing to offer everything for the God King to accept or reject, and hopes that the God King can show compassion to Aphrodite...!"
The Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, seeing Karl look her way, immediately knelt on both knees again, not caring that she was exposed, and even bowed her head to the ground, speaking to Karl with a slight stutter.
This was because her heart was so stimulated that it caused her to stutter.
The Goddess of Love thought of how she was once one of the most beautiful goddesses in the Greek Pantheon, with countless Male God wanting to get close to her.
Even a single smile could make them dizzy with infatuation; countless Male God would fight and contend for one of her smiles...
Chapter 302: Noble Goddesses Vie for Favor
She thought of her past nobility, how countless Male Gods were infatuated with her, how even a handkerchief she casually dropped would cause the gods to fight over it, and how countless Male Gods would offer her gifts.
Yet, here she was, kneeling at the feet of a man with absolutely no dignity, a man who had killed her nominal husband—who had never touched her—and yet she felt no hatred or resentment.
She had once felt that no Male God in the Greek Pantheon was worthy of her.
It wasn't until she met Karl; his immense power, handsome face, robust physique, and the charm he exuded constantly, captured her attention.
She had been reserved and observing, but after seeing Queen Hera and Mother Earth, Gaia, conquered by him, she could no longer suppress her inner desires.
She yearned for this man's affection and tenderness.
Kneeling at Karl's feet, the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, her delicate body already trembling slightly due to her inner thoughts and excitement.
"Stand up!" Karl said indifferently, looking at the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, who was kneeling at his feet without dignity.
His inner satisfaction reached its peak.
The former Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, had been praised by humanity for thousands of years, even in the human world, and was a goddess he had never dared to fantasize about.
Now, she knelt at his feet, subservient and loyal to him, willing to offer herself, and even desired his tenderness.
As the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, shakily stood up, her pink eyes gazed at Karl with an expression of infatuation.
Seeing this, Queen Hera and Mother Earth, Gaia, exchanged glances.
They understood that the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, had already fallen, but they hadn't expected her to succumb so easily to Karl's charm.
They themselves had only fallen after being thoroughly satisfied and conquered by Karl.
Yet, the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite's delicate body was already trembling just by looking at Karl.
They couldn't imagine that the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, was so wanton, even more depraved than the two of them.
Was this still one of the most beautiful goddesses of the former Greek Pantheon?
Karl looked on with satisfaction at the trembling Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, her delicate body shaking.
He withdrew his right hand, which had been around Queen Hera's waist, and placed it on the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite's fair, rosy cheek.
The Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, gazed at Karl with infatuated eyes, rubbing her cheek against Karl's palm to express her obedience.
Queen Hera, feeling the large hand on her waist withdraw, a flicker of displeasure crossed her eyes.
After glancing at the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, and Mother Earth, Gaia, a peculiar expression flashed in her eyes.
If the God-King were to take the Goddess of Love into his embrace as well, then there would be three of them.
Before, when there were two of them, she and Gaia could barely share the God-King's favor equally.
Now, with three, she would have to fight for it, otherwise, the God-King's favor would only diminish.
Mother Earth, Gaia, seeing Karl withdraw his hand from Queen Hera's waist, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, but she quickly realized the same problem as Queen Hera.
As for the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, a triumphant glint appeared in her infatuated eyes.
She had always intended to vie for favor with Queen Hera and Mother Earth, Gaia, so this was all within her expectations.
Her beauty was no less than theirs, so she was confident that Karl would accept her.
Queen Hera quickly took action.
She began to constantly rub her ample chest against Karl's, and pressed her face infinitely close to Karl's.
Karl, seeing the expressions and changes of the women, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
The three noble and infinitely charming goddesses of the former Greek Pantheon were now vying for favor.
No matter what they did, Karl was the one who benefited, so he was very happy to see the women competing.
Karl looked at the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, who now had pink hair and eyes, and then Karl withdrew his hand.
He continued to place it on Queen Hera's slender waist, caressing the smooth and delicate skin, his grip growing stronger and his hand beginning to move further down…
Queen Hera, leaning against Karl's chest, felt the unusual sensation in her delicate body and her face flushed, as she continuously exhaled warm breaths onto Karl's neck.
Mother Earth, Gaia, seeing Queen Hera enjoying Karl's favor, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.
Before she could make any move, Karl embraced them and returned to the throne.
Queen Hera and Mother Earth, Gaia, once again fell into Karl's embrace, and the 'ball-bumping' reappeared.
"Goddess of Love, bring Queen of the Underworld: Persephone to me and make her kneel."
"Yes, God-King!"
Karl, holding Queen Hera and Mother Earth, Gaia, sat on the throne and said to the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, below.
The Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, had been a little disappointed after Karl withdrew his hand, and was somewhat at a loss after seeing Karl embrace Queen Hera and Mother Earth, Gaia, and return to the throne.
Upon hearing Karl's words, she replied to Karl with surprise, and then Karl controlled Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, to slowly descend to the ground.
The next moment, the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, immediately seized Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, and pushed her with all her might towards the throne where Karl was seated.
Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, unable to speak as Karl had not yet released her, glared at the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, with fierce eyes, filled with humiliation and resentment.
She had been suspended in the air by Karl for a while, and upon descending, was immediately subdued by the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite.
She had no chance to resist.
The Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, quickly brought Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, before Karl, and then fiercely kicked the back of Queen of the Underworld: Persephone's knees.
After being kicked in the back of her knees by the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, instantly knelt before Karl.
Her eyes, filled with anger and humiliation, glared at Karl and the others, and her hatred for the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, reached its peak.
Queen Hera, Mother Earth, Gaia, and Karl were all deeply resented by her.
However, the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, paid no attention to Queen of the Underworld: Persephone's thoughts or gaze.
She only wanted to fulfill Karl's command, while fantasizing about whether Karl would show her some affection after she completed it.
Karl looked at this scene with satisfaction, and then the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, slowly floated up, approaching Karl, who was embracing two beauties, face to face…
Chapter 303: Sensitive Goddesses
Then, the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite completely fell onto Karl, also pressing down on Queen Heraand Mother Earth: Gaia.
She hadn't expected to find herself in Karl's embrace, and the excitement and satisfaction in her heart instantly surged.
With a slight exertion of his arms, Karl held the three beautiful and tender Greek Goddesses tightly in his embrace.
Smelling their three distinct body scents, Karl felt his heart full, while Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, after recovering a little strength, tried to stand up.
But she quickly found that she couldn't move at all, forced to maintain her current posture.
It was clear that as she knelt before Karl and the others, that expanse of white skin was clearly visible.
Karl looked at Queen of the Underworld: Persephone with an amused expression after noticing the changes in her face, and Queen of the Underworld: Persephone also saw Karl's playful gaze.
She met Karl's eyes without fear, her own eyes flickering with hatred, humiliation, unwillingness, and various other emotions.
After holding the three of them for a while, he slowly released them.
The Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, having enjoyed Karl's embrace, didn't want to leave at all, but the next moment she collapsed straight down because her legs had gone soft.
Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia, seeing that the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite's legs had gone soft just from an embrace, were both surprised and disdainful of the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite for being so wanton and lowly.
When Karl saw this, he was also very surprised, not expecting the legendary Goddess of Love: Aphrodite to be such a woman.
Then he turned his head to look at Queen Hera's cherry-red lips, and Karl couldn't help but...
At this moment, the former Queen of the Greek Pantheon was being so brazenly bullied by him, greatly increasing Karl's sense of satisfaction.
Queen Hera, seeing this man she adored bullying her, felt her heart start to pound intensely, like a Little Girl in her youth experiencing the first stirrings of love.
Mother Earth: Gaia, next to them, looked enviously at Queen Hera being favored by Karl, her eyes shimmering with envy and a hint of loneliness.
She hadn't expected to lose to a Queen so much younger than herself, and her heart began to wonder if Karl preferred younger women.
But he had clearly been very fond of her when he conquered her before, and now she was cast aside and ignored.
Along with her loneliness, she also felt a bit afraid that Karl might no longer like her because of this.
Then she grasped Karl's hand and began to exert a little force.
She couldn't imagine what she would be like if Karl no longer liked her.
She understood that she was now completely inseparable from Karl, even casting aside her identity and status.
Her heart was now filled with love and adoration for Karl.
Then she leaned against Karl's chest, looking up at him with teary eyes.
Feeling Mother Earth: Gaia's strangeness next to him, Karl, puzzled, released Queen Hera and looked to his left.
He saw the normally dignified and gentle Mother Earth: Gaia looking at him with a wronged expression, tears streaming from her eyes.
Karl was surprised and didn't know what was wrong with her.
Then, the power of the self gem activated, and Karl was instantly enveloped by the surging love and adoration in Mother Earth: Gaia's heart.
He also heard her voice, afraid that he didn't like her, and even saw her own imagined image of herself after Karl no longer liked her.
Feeling all of this, Karl was both surprised and deeply satisfied, because this woman was one of the first ancient deities in the Greek Pantheon, and a woman revered as Mother Earth.
Now, she was hopelessly in love and infatuated with him, and even a single action from Karl caused her to overthink and shed tears.
He hadn't expected Mother Earth: Gaia to be so deeply conquered by him.
Even her heart was already his.
Thinking of Queen Hera next to him, both were the same.
Was this a special attribute of Greek Goddesses?
Karl embraced Mother Earth: Gaia, gently kissed her beautiful forehead, and then wiped away her tears.
It's worth noting that even though Mother Earth: Gaia's power was sealed, her tears still turned into crystals after flowing from her eyes.
Looking at Mother Earth: Gaia, who now, like a Little Girl, obediently stayed in his embrace after receiving a little comfort from Karl, Karl's heart was once again stimulated.
Meanwhile, Queen Hera leaned dreamily in Karl's embrace.
After a kiss from the man she loved and adored, she was already disoriented.
Coupled with her heart being filled before, and Karl not having come for several months, she naturally wanted to be closer to Karl, wanting to desperately hold onto this moment!
At this moment, Mother Earth: Gaia behaved like a Little Girl, leaning in Karl's embrace.
Looking at those constantly tempting red lips, Karl slowly moved downwards, and Mother Earth: Gaia, seeing this, closed her eyes with a bit of excitement, wanting to obtain...
After a while, Karl released Mother Earth: Gaia, holding two Greek Goddesses of noble status in the Greek Pantheon, whose bodies and minds had already submitted to him.
Karl looked at the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, who was looking enviously at Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia in front of him.
"What, do you want it?"
"Yes... I want to receive the Divine King's favor and pity!! I want to dedicate everything I have to the Divine King!!"
Karl looked at the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite and said indifferently.
The Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, hearing Karl's words, came back to her senses and saw Karl looking at her indifferently.
She immediately said excitedly to Karl, her eyes gleaming with frantic desire.
Karl, hearing the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite's words, showed a slight smile.
The Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, one of the most beautiful goddesses in greek mythology, now wanted his affection like a thirsty woman.
Then Karl withdrew his right hand from behind Queen Hera and placed it on the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite's cheek, gently pulling her towards him.
The Goddess of Love: Aphrodite also slowly stood up and moved closer to Karl, her eyes always gazing at Karl with infatuation.
Karl looked at the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite's pink lips; these were the lips of the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, an existence that countless men in the Greek Pantheon went mad for.
And the next moment, it was to be offered by its owner to the man on the throne before her.
But Karl did not taste the legendary tempting lips of the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite there.
Instead, he took Queen Hera, Mother Earth: Gaia, the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, and Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, and disappeared from the throne in the hall.
The next moment, he brought them to Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia's...
Soon after, a symphony sung by beautiful voices appeared in the castle...
Chapter 304: The Conquered Queen of the Underworld
This caused Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia to feel a bit displeased, but they could only blame themselves for being eliminated early in yesterday's singing competition.
However, who could have imagined that Goddess of Love: Aphrodite's strength was so formidable?
At the same time, even Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, who had previously shown hatred, humiliation, and unwillingness, now looked at Karl with an expression of infatuation and love, her eyes shining with a desire even greater than Goddess of Love: Aphrodite's yesterday.
Yesterday, she was thoroughly conquered by Karl; even after being eliminated from the singing competition, Karl dragged her to continue participating until she begged for mercy, and only then did Karl let her go.
After all, a singing competition was not that easy to endure.
The next day, she began to serve at Karl's side along with Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, Queen Hera, and Mother Earth: Gaia, becoming the 'debased' figure she had spoken of yesterday.
Yet, her heart now yearned for Karl to dote on her alone; she wanted all of Karl's affection and tenderness.
And at this moment, Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, in Karl's arms on the throne, was incredibly excited and happy.
She could enjoy Karl's full embrace, and she frantically inhaled his scent, trying to engrave this moment into her mind forever, to make it Eternity.
She also felt fortunate that she had been able to break through the competition of those other women yesterday and win Karl's favor and tenderness.
Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, whose heart had long been conquered, was also thoroughly conquered by Karl physically; she now wished she could merge into Karl's body and stay with him forever.
And Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, one of the most beautiful goddesses in the Greek Pantheon, had fallen at this moment, loving Karl with all her heart and soul.
The infatuation and love in her eyes would never fade.
As the Goddess of Love, she fell in love with Karl; as the Goddess of Lust, she was conquered by Karl.
She had completely fallen into Karl's hands.
Karl looked at Goddess of Love: Aphrodite in his arms with a slight smile on his lips, surprised that she, too, was a virgin.
This was somewhat unexpected for Karl, and Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, as she had said before, was also a virgin.
Karl had become the first man in the true sense for both Goddess of Love: Aphrodite and Queen of the Underworld: Persephone.
Although Karl had previously treated them as tools, their current infatuated and loving appearance certainly qualified them for Karl's love, but it also depended on their own efforts.
"Alright, I have something to attend to soon, I must leave.
I'll come to see you all next time.
Queen Hera, Mother Earth, come over here." Karl, realizing he had been there for a day, said faintly to them, simultaneously calling Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia to his front.
Upon hearing Karl's words, both women showed reluctance in their eyes, but obediently came before Karl, looking at him as if ready to be commanded.
Karl looked at Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia, whose clothes were scantier each day.
Their delicate and alluring bodies exuded a seductive fragrance, clearly wanting Karl to 'offend' them.
Then, two golden rays shot from Karl's hands, and a golden mark appeared on their collarbones.
This mark was Karl's name, but not in standard script, nor English, but written in Chinese cursive: two clear characters: Karl!
Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia looked at the name on their collarbones, then looked up at Karl with surprise and joy.
This was equivalent to Karl leaving his mark on them, signifying that they belonged to Karl.
Goddess of Love: Aphrodite and Queen of the Underworld: Persephone looked at this scene with a hint of jealousy towards Karl.
The next moment, Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia were each given a kiss on their small mouths by Karl.
"I'll mark you two next time I come, no need to rush, you are all mine, be good."
"Yes, God-King!"
"Yes, God-King!"
Karl said slowly to them after seeing their jealous gazes, and then took another deep sniff of Goddess of Love: Aphrodite's pink long hair before stepping down from the throne.
Goddess of Love: Aphrodite and Queen of the Underworld: Persephone could only agree after hearing Karl's words.
After stepping down from the throne, Karl looked at Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, who was adorned in black divine ornaments.
Her divine ornaments today were even more revealing than yesterday's, seemingly because Karl had conquered her, causing her to start acting like Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia.
She wanted to display her beautiful, sexy, and graceful figure for Karl's appreciation, and to receive not only his affection but also his spoken praise.
Karl casually wrapped his arm around Queen of the Underworld: Persephone's exposed slender waist.
Her milky-white skin contrasted with the black long dress she wore, and he walked towards the door with her in his embrace.
Queen Hera, Mother Earth: Gaia, and Goddess of Love: Aphrodite followed behind Karl.
As Karl embraced Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, his gaze involuntarily fell upon this woman who, only yesterday, had looked at him with hatred and humiliation, and who now wished to offer her life for him.
A faint smile appeared on his lips, and the hand around Queen of the Underworld: Persephone's slender waist slowly moved downwards.
Queen Hera, Mother Earth: Gaia, and Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, who were behind them, all showed a hint of envy in their eyes at this sight.
What outsiders might see as taking advantage, they saw as receiving Karl's favor.
Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, feeling the change in her body, leaned into Karl's embrace, fiercely inhaling his scent before he left.
Upon reaching the door, Karl withdrew his hand, and the next moment, he vanished directly before them.
"Oh, wasn't someone rather unyielding yesterday, and even called us 'debased'?
Now you look as if you wish the God-King would knead you into his body, acting like a harlot!" After Karl left, Goddess of Love: Aphrodite said sarcastically to Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, directly exposing her change.
"I only acted that way because I didn't know the God-King's valor.
You, it seems, didn't perform any worse than me, even surpassing our esteemed Queen Hera and Mother Earth.
I wonder who is more debased!
And I simply love it when the God-King does anything to me, what?
Goddess of Love, could you be jealous, just because the God-King didn't touch you when he left?
Hehehehe~" Queen of the Underworld: Persephone immediately retorted after hearing Goddess of Love: Aphrodite's words...
Chapter 305: Time Variance Authority
The Queen of the Underworld: Persephone's sarcastic remarks were no less potent than those of the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, and she even dragged in Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia. Unlike yesterday's confrontational and aggressive demeanor, she now affectionately called Mother Earth'Mother Earth.' Queen Hera and Mother Earth: Gaia, upon hearing the Queen of the Underworld: Persephone's words, couldn't help but roll their eyes at her.
As for the Queen of the Underworld: Persephone's intentions, how could they, having lived for thousands of years, not know? She simply wanted to pull them into a united front against the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite. However, both of them were too shrewd to be swayed by the Queen of the Underworld: Persephone's few words into attacking the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite.
"I think you two should save your energy. The God-King likely has a true wife outside. We are all just his... Instead of bickering, you should think about how to keep the God-King and how to become the legitimate Queen of the God-King. Otherwise, we are just caged birds, mistresses who can't even show our faces," Queen Hera said slowly to them after a moment of thought, directly stating their current situation and shattering their beautiful illusions about the future.
"The women I saw with the God-King from a distance in Asgard before should all be his legitimate wives. Each of them was incredibly beautiful. If you are content to just live in this castle, then continue your infighting. To put it bluntly, although we have all been... by the God-King, we don't even have the right to bear his children!" Mother Earth: Gaia said indifferently to the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite and the Queen of the Underworld: Persephone after hearing Queen Hera's words.
"I'm not content to live in this place. I want to go out. Even if I can't be the legitimate wife, I want to be the God-King's concubine. I want to win the God-King's love. I'm telling you now, without reservation, that I have been conquered by the God-King. My entire being has been conquered by the God-King. Without the God-King, I can't live. I am base, I am wanton! I don't care about the Death of Zeus or my former sons. My heart now only holds this man. You two continue," Queen Hera said coldly to the silent Goddess of Love: Aphrodite and the Queen of the Underworld: Persephone, expressing her innermost thoughts without any reservations. After speaking, she walked out of the living room door.
Mother Earth: Gaia, the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite, and the Queen of the Underworld: Persephonewere all a little surprised after hearing Queen Hera's bold declaration. However, thinking about their own situations, it seemed there was no difference from hers. They no longer cared about the Death of their former husbands or the destruction of their pantheons; their hearts were all filled by that man. Mother Earth: Gaia glanced at the Goddess of Love: Aphrodite and the Queen of the Underworld: Persephone before also leaving... Karl returned to the warship and went to the living room because he noticed something amiss after appearing inside the warship. There were traces of time all around. Karl then began to use the Mind Stone and the self gem to investigate the surroundings of the warship. Soon, this attracted the attention of Gamora, Yan, Dark Phoenix, and Hela. They instantly appeared before Karl, looking at his solemn expression, unsure what had happened.
Swish — — — — — —!
"Time criminals who have altered the timeline, according to Time Variance Authority Article... Are you coming with us now, or should we take action ourselves?" Just as the few were wondering, Karl suddenly opened his eyes, and several people in uniforms appeared in the warship's living room. They spoke to Karl expressionlessly. Karl knew who they were: people from the Time Variance Authority, the authority that monitors changes in the universe's timeline.
He hadn't expected them to find him. Thinking about the system's existence, Karl understood. Perhaps it was precisely because of his and the system's appearance that the timeline of this universe had been completely altered. The reason they were only now coming for him was likely due to the system, which prevented them from knowing who had interfered with the timeline. However, the longer Karl stayed in the Marvel Universe, the greater the timeline changes he caused would be.
And the people of the Time Variance Authority could use this to pinpoint the person who altered the timeline! Remembering how Loki from the movie timeline was easily defeated by them, a hint of solemnity flashed in Karl's eyes, because their weapons were all time-related, and the Infinity Stoneshad no effect on them. The self gem might work, as it was formed from the power of the Goddess of Vengeance. But Karl was not without a trump card; his Stand World: Beyond could stop time!
Boom — — — — — —!
Before Karl could even make a move, the Dark Phoenix next to him couldn't help but attack. Are you kidding? If they took Karl away, where would she find her husband? She didn't care about anything else; she would fight first! The fiery Dark Phoenix was online, battling the Time Variance Authority "hunters"! A fiery phoenix made of red energy rushed towards them, but one of the people calmly opened a device on his waist, and the attack that should have hit them disappeared the next moment.
Dark Phoenix was a little incredulous at this sight, and Gamora, Yan, and Hela's expressions also became serious. They could even dispel the Dark Phoenix's Phoenix Force, so it seemed they were not so easy to deal with. They didn't care who the opponents were, but as long as they were after Karl, they wouldn't hold back. Just as Gamora, Yan, and Hela were about to attack together, a green light spread out from the instruments in their hands the next moment.
Gamora, Yan, Dark Phoenix, Hela, and Karl, upon encountering this beam of light, could all feel time slowing down. Just as the people from the Time Variance Authority thought they had solved the problem, Karl directly acted in front of them. Then, Gamora, Yan, Dark Phoenix, and Hela also regained their ability to move. Although they were from the Time Variance Authority and had indeed used time, Karl and the others were all Single-Universe Level.
How could such a small amount of time power trap all of them? To their disbelief, Karl directly paused the time of the entire universe. Everyone above Single-Universe Level sensed the change in time, but no one would interfere too much...
Chapter 306: Killing Time Variance Authority Members
Many people are extremely wary of the concept of time. The saying, 'When you play with time, time plays with you,' is no joke. So, even if someone stops time, they won't intervene. Furthermore, those at their level of power no longer care about time. As long as they're not in danger, even if they're temporarily frozen by a time stop, they won't bother, because a time stop can't last forever.
Even with his Mid-Stage Universe-Level Entity strength, Karl cannot stop the time of all Single-Universe Level beings, let alone those above him, such as Super Single-Body Universe Level and Multiverse Level beings. However, stopping these few Time Variance Authority members in front of him is possible. They only have powerful equipment; they themselves possess no real strength, being just ordinary people. In an instant, Karl appeared before them, and the devices and weapons on their waists and hands fell into his possession.
The next moment, their heads simultaneously exploded. As for whether Karl would be hunted down and pursued for killing them, of course he would. But even if Karl didn't kill them, the Time Variance Authority would still want to eliminate him. Why not strike first? Besides, if they didn't return for a long time, it would certainly be noticed. It was better to just kill them to avoid wasting space. Then, a golden light flashed from Karl's hand, and the three Time Variance Authority personnel were instantly reduced to nothing, and his time stop was lifted.
"The Time Variance Authority was established in the distant future to monitor the reality of the entire Multiverse and attempt to minimize temporal interference. The Time Variance Authority is a vast bureaucratic organization dedicated to supervising, adjusting, and ultimately balancing the myriad timelines within the Multiverse, which contains infinite variables. They prune divergent timelines and attempt to prevent temporal paradoxes; they also monitor 'nexus beings'—individuals whose existence is essential to their respective realities. Agents are duplicated and created as needed, and their offices expand in all directions to accommodate the branching of new realities. Despite their proclaimed power, the Time Variance Authority's (TVA) influence over time is not absolute. Their sphere of influence is adjacent to Alioth, located in the distant past, and to Kang the Conqueror, the Chronos Corps, and Apocalypse, who exist in different eras across the entire temporal spectrum. There are also numerous time travel or reality-altering events that the Time Variance Authority has been unable to interfere with."
Karl explained to Gamora, Yan Yan, Dark Phoenix, and Hela after seeing their confused expressions, essentially relaying his past life's background information on the Time Variance Authority. However, Karl still felt a sense of urgency. After all, he was just being chased by the Celestials, and now the Time Variance Authority had come knocking. These were not good things. Karl walked to the sofa and rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache.
The next moment, a pair of delicate small hands were placed on his temples, massaging him. It was Hela. Gamora, Yan Yan, and Dark Phoenix, meanwhile, sat beside Karl. What Karl could think of, they naturally could too, so they knew Karl was under a lot of pressure right now. A slight misstep could lead directly to Death, a price no one could afford. Karl looked at a time stick, a circular device, and a belt in his hand.
Karl knew about this circular device; it was what the Time Variance Authority used to travel to any location in the universe, and through it, one could also go to the Time Variance Authority headquarters. It also seemed capable of traveling to different times. The device on the belt contained some temporal energy, likely a device for controlling time for defense, attack, and movement. And this time stick was the thing that stunned Loki in the movie timeline.
"Alright, it's fine. Yan Yan, take this and modify it yourself. It can allow you to manipulate time for attack and defense, and also for movement. It's best to research it before equipping it, but try not to use the power of time too much, because while you're playing with time, time is also playing with you. Give the other two to Dark Phoenix and Hela. Gamora, you'll have to make do this once, because there are only three, and their strength is relatively weaker. I'll compensate you next time, okay?"
Karl looked at Yan Yan, who was full of worry, and handed her the three belts, speaking to her slowly. He sternly warned her not to use the power of time casually. If you use time at this moment, causing it to be a second faster or a second slower, it could very likely affect your future self, and you might lose something in the future because of it. This is what it means when you play with time, time also plays with you! After thinking for a while, he still gave the other two belts to Dark Phoenix and Hela, then spoke to Gamora with a hint of apology.
"Okay, I understand. I'll research it in a bit." Yan Yan replied after taking the items Karl handed her. She was also very surprised that the device on this belt could control time. One must know that in her universe, time was an inviolable existence; very few people could affect time, let alone control it!
"It's okay, as long as you're fine! Oh, right, I'm a little hungry..." Gamora said to Karl, completely unconcerned, after hearing his apologetic words. She even smiled at Karl, but then lowered her head, a little embarrassed, and told Karl she was hungry. Karl smiled at this, hugged Gamora next to him, and then took out the Multiverse Level energy he had previously cycled using his Infinite Conceptual Ability Formula to feed Gamora.
At first, when she saw it was Multiverse Level energy, she refused to eat, because it was what she had given Karl before. But Karl pinched her little face twice, then looked at her a bit angrily, and only then did she obediently open her mouth. Karl fed her piece by piece, and only after eating a full thousand Multiverse Level energy crystals did she feel a slight sense of fullness. Then she refused to eat anymore, saying she would eat next time.
How could Karl not know that she wanted to save him some Multiverse Level energy? But thinking that she was full, he let her be. Then he took Gamora's and Yan Yan's small hands and walked towards the large hall in the center, while Dark Phoenix and Hela followed behind them. Upon arriving at the central hall, they found Tony and the others were also there. Little Morgan was in Red Crystal's arms, and the two were holding a blue screen, watching something unknown...
Chapter 307: Kang the Conqueror
"Hey Karl, what just happened? The warship shook, and then the four of them disappeared. Did an enemy attack us?" Tony asked Karl, confused, after seeing him return with Gamora and the others. He seemed eager to test his new armor when mentioning enemies.
"Alright, Tony, someone did come knocking, an organization called the Time Variance Authority, but they've been dealt with. Their attacks were all time-based, Tony, do you want to try it?" Karl said calmly to Tony after seeing him eagerly ask. Then, remembering Loki's dazed state in the movie timeline, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
Bang — — — — — —!
Before Tony could speak, Karl struck him on the cheek with a time stick. Instantly, Tony felt his time slow down, even the sensation of pain. After a few seconds, his time returned to normal, and he fell to the ground, immediately covering his face with a bewildered expression and looking at Karl. Howardand Maria also witnessed this, somewhat surprised, as Tony had just been slowed down as if in a video.
"How was it, Tony? The taste of time isn't pleasant, is it? Hahahahahahahahaha." Karl laughed unrestrainedly at Tony's bewildered look, then went to sit in the middle of the women on the sofa, while Howard curiously looked at the small stick Karl was holding.
"What? Karl, you bastard, I'll fight you! Unless you let me study that for a few days, then I'll graciously let you off!" Tony realized he had been tricked by Karl and roared at him. But then, remembering the thing Karl had used to hit him, he immediately changed his expression. This quick change of face left Maria speechless, though Howard had a proud 'that's my son' look.
"This thing is yours, but you'd best be careful. It's not that easy to study. It's best to have Vast and Jarviswork with you, otherwise, you'll be crying if something happens." Karl heard Tony's words and directly floated the time stick towards Tony. This thing wasn't very useful to Karl, and he still had two more, so giving one to Tony was fine. Otherwise, he'd probably keep pestering him.
"OK, OK, no problem. You have to believe me. Cough, cough, I have something else to do over there, so I'll be leaving now..." Tony said perfunctorily to Karl after receiving the time stick. After inspecting it, he stood up, said a quick goodbye to everyone, and left without looking back. Everyone knew exactly what he was going to do.
"Cough, cough, I also have something to do. You all have fun, I'm leaving!" Howard was anxious when he saw Tony run off with the item; he hadn't even had a look at it. He then disregarded everything, used Tony's worn-out excuse, and ran in the direction Tony had left, afraid that if he arrived too late, Tonywould have already disassembled the item.
"Vast, analyze these two time sticks and three time disks." Seeing Tony and Howard leave in a hurry, Karl couldn't help but shake his head. He then said to Vast, placing the remaining two time sticks and three time disks on the table in front of him. He wanted to see if Vast could analyze anything, and it would be even better if he could replicate them himself. Although these things weren't very useful to him, they could be given to Maria, Raven, and Helen Zhao. Moreover, those time disks seemed to contain the coordinates of the Time Variance Authority headquarters.
Karl himself was wondering whether to visit the Time Variance Authority. In his memories, there were many good things there, even Infinity Stones used as table weights and paperweights. Although Infinity Stones were useless there, they should be useful in this universe. In this way, everyone's strength, as well as the warship and Vast, could be significantly improved through the Infinity Stones. What puzzled Karl was how to get those things without being discovered.
The headquarters must have powerful figures stationed there. Even if not, there would be devices to detect outsiders. Who knows what other bug-level abilities future technology holds? This is Marvel, where black technology is already rampant, let alone in the future. And in a certain location of the Time Variance Authority, there must be three Time Guardians. To put it plainly, they are three powerful robots. As for how powerful they are, Karl doesn't know. That's future technology, very likely between Super Single-Body Universe Level and Multiverse Level.
Not to mention the existence of Kang the Conqueror. Kang the Conqueror was born in the 30th century of Earth-6311 universe. This is also the universe of Kang the Conqueror's origin mentioned in "Loki." Because he discovered parallel universes, he could work with and exchange technology with multiple versions of himself from different universes. However, not every Kang from every universe had good intentions. Some evil Kangs tried to conquer all other Kangs, leading to a war of conquering Kangs led by Kang. Finally, the good Kang discovered the living cloud, defeated all the Kangs, and ended the Multiverse war. And to protect the parallel universes and prevent time branches, he personally founded the Time Variance Authority.
The reason Kang the Conqueror made Karl feel tricky and wary was that, simply put, Kang the Conqueror was an ordinary person with time-traveling abilities. But because he could manipulate time at will, peer into the future, and repair timelines, he became unbeatable. Theoretically, even Karl would find it difficult to harm him now. Additionally, Karl wasn't sure whether this universe's Kang the Conqueror was from the movie timeline or the comic timeline.
In the comic timeline, Kang the Conqueror is a descendant of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman from the Fantastic Four. His own strength is not weak, and now with the ability to control timelines and so on, even if Karl defeats Kang the Conqueror or kills him, it wouldn't be a true defeat or death. Because he could completely use this to construct a timeline, allowing himself to appear here briefly, but his true self would not be a character from this timeline.
In other words, even if Karl defeats him, it would only be that version of him at that moment, not the one belonging to his own timeline. So, even if Karl kills him, it would be futile...
Chapter 308: Yan Yan's Surprise
"Yes, sir, analysis is beginning… Analysis complete. These objects contain an unknown substance, and these devices are the keys to activating them. Once activated, they can traverse time and space. They can also temporarily manipulate time through these devices, affecting individuals or groups, but they cannot achieve large-scale manipulation, such as stopping or slowing down time within a planet or galaxy!"
Karl's eyes narrowed slightly as he listened to Hao Han's explanation. Perhaps the 'hunters' of the Time Variance Authority were too low-ranked, so their equipment wasn't top-notch, or perhaps Kang the Conqueror was unwilling to give them more advanced equipment to avoid irreversible consequences if they lost control. After all, if Time Variance Authority members rebelled with advanced time devices and weapons, even Kang the Conqueror would find it tricky.
He might even need to personally intervene in the timeline to find them. Some of these Time Variance Authority members were cloned by Kang the Conqueror himself, while others were time criminals who accidentally escaped their original timelines and were brainwashed by him into working for the Time Variance Authority. The Time Variance Authority members themselves didn't know they were cloned or brainwashed. If they found out, they might truly rebel.
No one could accept being a clone, and no one would want to work here only after being brainwashed. Once the most steadfast thing in a person's heart collapses, no one knows what actions they will take. Just like in one Multiverse, Deadpool broke through the cosmic barrier and met the legendary editors of the Marvel Universe. After learning that he was a character in comics and movies, he went completely insane.
He then began to constantly traverse the Multiverse to slaughter other versions of himself, even sparking a Multiverse Deadpool escape. Karl hasn't told Tony and Howard that they are characters in a movie precisely because of this, to avoid Tony the great genius going insane. He hasn't even told Mei, Dark Phoenix, Hela, or Helen Zhao. But Yan Yan seems to have noticed, though Karl doesn't mind, because Yan Yan's ideological awareness is already at a cosmic level.
Instead of being stuck at a planetary or galactic level like them. Even if Yan Yan knew she was a character in an anime, her reaction would be very calm, because she is a person of flesh and blood, and she has traveled the universe and fought for thousands of years. This small matter wouldn't shake her inner self. Of course, the collapse of righteous order would be an exception, but with Karl by her side now, she probably wouldn't have too strong a reaction, more likely just a sigh.
"Hao Han, can these things be used on the new warship, allowing it to carry time-based attacks and the ability to traverse timelines?" Karl asked Hao Han calmly after thinking for a while. Even Yan Yan looked at Karl with a hint of surprise. This idea was a bit crazy: equipping a warship with time-based attacks and the ability to traverse timelines? After all, in her perception, time was an untouchable existence, and even now, she still felt it was a bit unreal.
"Sir, yes, it can. Because the internal structure of this device is not very complex, with my current computing power, I can completely analyze it and use it as a basis to create a weapon that uses time-based attacks and an engine that traverses timelines!"
"Okay, you start analyzing it, then begin manufacturing it to be installed on the new warship." Karl calmly gave the order after hearing Hao Han's confirmation. Yan Yan, standing nearby, felt it was incredible. It was that simple? Shouldn't he personally inspect or research it first?
"Alright, Yan Yan, don't be so surprised. The timeline of this universe and world isn't as complicated as you think. Even Earth's technology can achieve timeline traversal. You can ask Hao Han to create Pym Particles for you, and try to deduce entering the quantum realm, then selecting a time to pass through the quantum tunnel. This method was ultimately completed by our great genius Tony, but don't tell him, lest he get arrogant." Karl said gently to a surprised Yan Yan, while also telling her about the original timeline.
Pym Particles and the quantum realm allowing timeline traversal were discovered by Ant-Man, but even after Dr. Banner researched it for a long time, it was still imperfect. It only succeeded after Tonybrought a device, so it can indeed be said that Tony ultimately completed it. And this universe's Earth naturally also has Pym Particles, but Karl isn't very interested in that. Moreover, Hao Han has long since recorded all the information and data within Earth.
It's not impossible to create some Pym Particles out of thin air through energy, so Karl didn't bother with Pym Particles. Otherwise, Hank Pym would probably cry. He values Pym Particles dearly, but if Karl went to him for them, he'd probably have to hand them over honestly.
"Okay, I'll try. I'm going to the research lab now. Later, I plan to integrate the devices from these belts into an engine system. What do you think? This way, we can precisely control and manipulate time, without needing manual operation." Yan Yan nodded in surprise after hearing Karl's words. She hadn't expected Tony Stark and Earth to be able to create something that traverses timelines. Then she stood up and slowly said to Karl.
"You can. Just make your own decisions. I'll be out for a few days. During these days, the warship will fully shield its presence in the universe, and all defensive modes will be activated until I return." Karl nodded after hearing Yan Yan's words, then stood up as well, and simultaneously said to everyone in the living room. After speaking, he disappeared without waiting for their reply, which caused a trace of loneliness to flash in Big Wanda's eyes, as she hadn't spoken to Karl for some time.
Every time Karl returned, he would leave in a hurry, sometimes even being unreachable, which meant she had no chance to find Karl. Little Wanda seemed to sense Big Wanda's emotions, reaching out her hand and holding hers. Then the two walked to their room on the warship, preparing to cultivate Chaos Magic together. Big Wanda also discovered a pattern: those who could appear by Karl's side were always the strongest among them.
So she also prepared to diligently cultivate Chaos Magic, so she could follow Karl anywhere, anytime! After Karl disappeared, Hao Han activated the warship's defensive system…
Chapter 309: Entering the Time Variance Authority Headquarters
Karl still planned to visit the Time Variance Authority headquarters. His purpose was to acquire some Infinity Stones, and Time Variance Authority equipment and technology. They surely wouldn't expect anyone to be able to enter the Time Variance Authority headquarters. Moreover, Karl didn't intend to act himself; he planned to have the shadow ninjas from the Shadow World do it. shadow ninjas could appear wherever there was a shadow, which Karl even now considered a bug.
Because as soon as Karl appeared in the Time Variance Authority's headquarters space, he could directly enter the Shadow World and have the shadow ninjas steal those items. Karl himself wouldn't need to lift a finger, and he could still see the entire Time Variance Authority from the Shadow World. With the system's enhancement, the Shadow World would be impossible for anyone from the Time Variance Authority to detect, not even Kang the Conqueror!
Karl also strongly suspected that this universe's Kang the Conqueror was an ordinary person who could manipulate time, not a descendant of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman. Since there were no Fantastic Four on Earth, the possibility of him being their descendant was very small, unless he was Kang the Conqueror from another universe who came to this universe for unknown reasons. But this probability was so low that Karl himself found it impossible.
"Vast, retrieve the spatial coordinates from those three time disks and calculate their location. If the calculation fails, combine it with the time disk for calculation, and I'll send it over. It would be best if I could appear in a somewhat hidden spot within that space," Karl said calmly to Vast from within the Shadow World. The spatial coordinates he referred to were naturally the location of the Time Variance Authority headquarters.
However, it could also be a dimension rather than a space, but with the time disk, Karl believed Vast could find it. After giving the command, Karl floated silently within the Shadow World. Behind him were humanoid shadow ninjas; after all, you can't steal things with claw shadows. As for whether Kang the Conqueror would come knocking later, they'd already reached his doorstep, so why worry so much?
Furthermore, he was considered a time criminal in the Time Variance Authority for altering the Sacred Timeline, so they would definitely try every means to capture or eliminate Karl. If he didn't know Kang the Conqueror's strength, Karl would have directly gone to snatch the items, consequences be damned. They were already at his doorstep, so there was no way to resolve it peacefully. Taking a few things in advance wasn't too excessive. Even if Kang the Conqueror pursued him, Karl could directly hide in the Shadow World.
He could just wait until he was strong enough to come out. Inside, Karl had sealed a group of Greek Goddesses, and his life would be very good. At that time, while enjoying the service of beauties, he would also get opportunities to sign in. The feeling would be incredibly refreshing. Moreover, everyone now had no need to worry about their lifespan, and the Shadow World was Karl's world. He could even directly control the flow of time inside, so a few seconds in the universe could be several years inside.
Having planned his escape route, Karl immediately prepared to act. So, when he left, he asked Vast to activate the defense system and cloak the warship's presence in the universe. The shadow ninjasbehind him were also ready to emerge from the shadowed locations within the Time Variance Authority.
"Sir, that space has been located. Its position is in The Void! This realm exists outside of normal space and time. This area contains remnants of discarded timelines and universes that no longer exist in normal time. It is a very special space. You can begin to traverse it as soon as you leave the Shadow World!"
Soon, Vast's voice rang out. Karl's eyes lit up upon hearing it. Now he could finally go and see the legendary Time Variance Authority! The next moment, Karl appeared in the cosmic space layer, and then a green energy enveloped Karl's body. The next moment, he disappeared from this universe. Somewhere in the universe, Galactus, who was devouring planets, looked suspiciously at the location of the two heavenly blade seven warships, and in a certain space, a cold and noble woman also opened her eyes towards a certain spot, a hint of doubt flashing in her black gem-like eyes.
Whoosh—!
Karl appeared in a space the next moment, which was the so-called The Void! But after he reacted, he immediately entered the Shadow World. This place was just as he thought; he could observe the Time Variance Authority within The Void through the Shadow World. It looked like a mechanical city floating in space, with each building shaped like a spinning top, and all of them were primarily golden.
Then, through the shadows, Karl could observe that the inside was full of humans in suits, no different from Earth's 996 office workers. Seeing this, who would have thought this was the Time Variance Authority? But watching them use Infinity Stones to press down documents and prop up table legs, Karl's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Although the process of him obtaining Infinity Stones wasn't particularly difficult, he had put effort into collecting them, yet now these items were like worthless stones at the Time Variance Authority.
Then Karl controlled the shadow ninjas to retrieve those Infinity Stones from the shadows. In that office, a pair of dark hands suddenly reached out from beside a blue gem on the desk, directly taking the gem into the shadows. This scene was not noticed by any of the Time Variance Authority members who were working. Karl, in the Shadow World, looked at the Infinity Stones in his hand and smiled slightly after feeling the abundant energy within them.
Karl recalled that Loki had once opened a drawer and seen a drawer full of Infinity Stones. Thinking of this, the scene before him changed again, moving to a drawer in a nearby table. Inside were three Space Stones, four Reality Stones, one Time Stone, five Mind Stones, and two Soul Stones! The next moment, they were all taken into the Shadow World by pairs of dark hands. Karl's lips curved upward as he looked at the sixteen gems floating around him.
Afterward, the shadow ninjas began collecting the Infinity Stones in the office. Although the disappearance of the Infinity Stones did attract the attention of Time Variance Authority members, they didn't think much of it, because these items were useless here, no different from ordinary stones. Then, all the Infinity Stones in the office, except for a few within their line of sight, were taken into the Shadow World...
Chapter 310: Karl's Abundant Haul
Currently, the Infinity Stones surrounding Karl in the Shadow World, plus those previously in the drawer, are: six Space Stones, five Reality Stones, five Time Stones, eight Mind Stones, four Soul Stones, and three Power Stones!
A total of thirty-one Infinity Stones, Karl was incredibly delighted; even if they couldn't use their inherent rule-based abilities in their original universes, the energy overflowing from them could keep Hao Han operating at full capacity for over a decade.
At this moment, the personnel of the Time Variance Authority also noticed that something was amiss and began searching their offices, as all the Infinity Stones that had been everywhere a moment ago had vanished, with none visible except for one on a table.
Just as they turned around, a black-clothed, red-eyed ninja appeared from the shadows beside the table and took all four remaining Infinity Stones.
These four Infinity Stones were: two Power Stones and two Time Stones!
While the Time Variance Authority personnel were still puzzled, Karl had already shifted the view, beginning to check other architectural shadows for the unknown materials within the Time Variance Authority's equipment—the items that could control time.
Soon, Karl found that substance in a golden room; it was composed of green crystals, each brimming with time energy, but getting in there was no easy task.
This was not a public area like the office; its monitoring and defense systems were extremely advanced.
Karl suspected that once a shadow ninja appeared in this room, the Time Variance Authority's alarm would sound, and they would realize someone had infiltrated the Time Variance Authority's headquarters.
After thinking this, Karl decisively decided not to take these items for now, as he hadn't collected enough Infinity Stones yet; he would collect all the Infinity Stones first.
Then, he could directly transfer the time crystals into the Shadow World; even if they discovered someone had infiltrated, he would have already left The Void by then.
Karl then began to constantly shift the view before him, using the shadows to locate where the Infinity Stones were, which made him think of a saying: 'What you disdain, others treasure!'
Thinking of this, Karl couldn't help but let out two bitter laughs.
Subsequently, in a warehouse resembling a storeroom, he discovered a box of Infinity Stones, several time sticks, and time disks, and even a small piece of time crystal.
The quantities were: twelve Space Stones, ten Power Stones, nine Soul Stones, seven Mind Stones, thirteen Time Stones, ten Reality Stones, five time sticks, three time disks, and one time crystal!
Adding the previously acquired Infinity Stones, there were a grand total of ninety-six Infinity Stones!
Karl couldn't believe how many universes must have been destroyed or how many timelines collapsed for these Infinity Stones to end up in the Time Variance Authority.
But he didn't dwell on it; the scene before him shifted again, returning to the room where he had previously seen the time crystals.
shadow ninjas appeared uniformly inside, then quickly began moving the time crystals into the Shadow World; mainly, the shadow ninjas' abilities were simply too overpowered.
The defense and security systems of this room were not simple, but the designer probably never imagined someone could appear directly in the room, let alone infiltrate the Time Variance Authoritywithin The Void.
These defense and security systems were primarily to guard against their own personnel, to prevent them from stealing time crystals, and they never expected them to be stolen by an infiltrator.
And the infiltrator's main body only appeared in The Void for one second before disappearing.
Drip——————!
After the shadow ninjas entered the time crystal room, the entire Time Variance Authority's alarm sounded.
Through the shadow's position, Karl saw many Time Variance Authority personnel with weapons rushing towards the area.
When he looked back at the shadow ninjas outside, they had already collected all the time crystals into the Shadow World.
Just as Karl was feeling happy, a loud boom echoed.
Boom——————!
An attack blasted the last shadow ninja that hadn't yet entered the Shadow World.
Karl looked gravely at the source of the attack, because, by his estimation, the Time Variance Authoritypersonnel would take at least another 10 seconds to arrive, or even less, but it was absolutely impossible for them to appear instantly inside.
Therefore, the person who launched the attack just now was definitely not an ordinary Time Variance Authority personnel; it was very likely one of the three robots created by Kang the Conqueror.
When that person appeared in Karl's line of sight, Karl confirmed his previous guess: a humanoid robot adorned with golden decorations appeared in Karl's vision.
If Karl hadn't known that there were three Time Guardians who were robots within the Time Variance Authority, he wouldn't have been able to tell that this person was a robot.
Because he was indistinguishable from a human, whether it was his face or his pupils, although he only showed his head, and his body was covered by golden decorations, from his physique, he was no different from an ordinary human.
He was detecting the residual energy in the entire room and also deducing who had come here, causing all the time crystals to be stolen.
The next moment, the mechanical door of the room opened, and a group of Time Variance Authoritypersonnel entered.
They left after seeing the Time Guardian appear there.
They were equivalent to employees, while the three Time Guardian robots were the CEOs, and Kang the Conqueror was the behind-the-scenes boss.
Now that their superior was here, there was naturally nothing for them to do.
Karl's expression in the Shadow World became solemn again, because he had actually collected a trace of energy, but it was residual energy left in this space after the shadow ninja was blown up.
Originally, he was worried about being caught by a time probe, but then he suddenly remembered that this was The Void, where the timelines were extremely numerous.
All sorts of abandoned timelines that no longer existed in the real universe were here, so it would probably be very difficult for them to find out how the time crystals disappeared through time.
Even if they found out, Karl would have already fled.
Subsequently, Karl no longer looked at the Time Guardian's position; the scene before him began to change.
Karl prepared to find a secluded spot to escape; otherwise, staying here, though he wouldn't be discovered, he also couldn't get out.
Arriving at a corner of The Void, Karl's main body appeared there for an instant, then was enveloped by a green light and disappeared...
