"I never thought I'd turn a misfortune into a blessing. It's just that I don't know how much of the mind stone's power my Warp can exert right now…"
Karl planned to find a suitable time later to personally test whether he had gained the ability of Mind Manipulation.
However, to avoid capsizing in the gutter, it was better to quickly familiarize himself with the newly acquired ability before the enemies rushed in.
Even a lion uses its full strength to fight a rabbit!
It's always right to be careful in everything!
… … … …
… …
A few minutes later.
The two steel doors leading to the interior of the experimental cabin slowly opened.
Immediately, Dr. Lister and a group of researchers, along with a large number of heavily armed Hydra Soldiers, entered in a panic.
"What just happened? Why did all the monitoring equipment and energy detection devices fail the moment Subject 380 touched the scepter… Hmm?!"
Before Dr. Lister could finish his sentence, he saw Karl, looking lively and staring at them with a playful expression.
He immediately exclaimed in shock, "What? You… you actually withstood the scepter's energy and didn't pass out?"
What do you mean "also"?
Who are you looking down on?
Karl showed a sunny smile like a boy next door, "The scepter? Are you talking about this thing?"
Then he threw the scepter, which was bent and deformed by the energy impact, over to him.
"This is…"
Dr. Lister picked up the scepter, and his face immediately showed a look of horror as if he had lost his parents, and he roared furiously:
"Bastard, how dare you destroy the scepter?"
"And… where is the most crucial energy core of the scepter?"
"I advise you to return it quickly before I get angry, otherwise, I will have the guards skin you!"
Karl, however, directly ignored his threat.
He spread his empty hands and said without reservation:
"I'm sorry, you're too late. That part of the energy… has all been absorbed by me."
"Hmph, do you think you're being humorous?"
Dr. Lister's lips trembled slightly with anger.
Then he directly ordered the Hydra Soldiers behind him:
"Kill him… Remember not to shoot, that energy core must be on him!"
I don't believe you.
The powerful energy contained in the scepter, we stored so much of it in special containers, and there was no sign of weakening at all.
Do you, a mere human, think you can absorb it all?
Although Dr. Lister didn't know how Karl survived contact with the scepter.
But compared to that energy core, the latter's life and death instantly became insignificant.
Because if he couldn't end this farce perfectly before Baron Strucker returned, then he would be the one to die!
"Hehe… I didn't expect you to be so good at courting death!"
Seeing this, Pike rubbed his fists and grinned ferociously, his eyes full of malice.
How could he miss such a good opportunity for personal revenge?
Karl not only ruined his good deed, but also "played dead" to deceive him, and then publicly ambushed him to make him look bad in front of his colleagues. He was simply unforgivable!
So even if Dr. Lister didn't give the order now.
He would still try every possible way to kill Karl afterward.
"I didn't expect you to fall into my hands so quickly…"
Pike didn't even put Karl in his eyes.
He even bothered to pull out the tactical dagger on his thigh.
After all, a weakling who could be knocked down with two punches didn't deserve for him to draw his knife!
Pike stretched out his large hand and directly grabbed Karl's neck.
And the Hydra Soldiers behind him all had expressions of watching a show.
Some even quietly started a betting pool.
Betting on whether Karl would use his "crotch kick" to counterattack this time!
However…
The scene everyone expected did not appear.
Karl even directly ignored Pike's grabbing hand.
To him now, the other party was as tiny and ridiculous as an ant, not worthy of his targeting, and even less worthy of his anger.
Karl slowly raised his left hand.
While making a snapping gesture,
He said with disdain:
"The gears of destiny have begun to turn. From today on, I… am… Destiny!!!"
Snap…!!!
The moment the snap was completed.
A dazzling golden light, like a supernova, flickered between Karl's fingers.
Waves of energy, visible to the naked eye, exploded with a roar in the horrified eyes of Dr. Lister and the others.
Boom…!!!
The violent energy instantly engulfed everyone present.
Pike, who was closest, didn't even have time to scream.
His clothes, flesh, bones, and internal organs all turned into dust in the exploding energy turbulence, disappearing completely…
And the others who were further back also could not escape death.
The neurons on these people's retinas had just converted the terrifying scene they saw into bioelectrical signals and transmitted them into the visual cortex in their brains.
Before they even had time to show on their faces, they all disintegrated into ashes!
"Haha, it succeeded, my experiment finally succeeded."
"This guy must have had his cells activated by the scepter to gain this superpower… No, I created a God!!!"
The last thought flashed through Dr. Lister's mind, and his body exploded like the others.
Finally disappearing into the surging energy turbulence.
"Huh? I seemed to have used a bit too much force just now!"
Karl was also startled by the tragic scene before him.
Perhaps it was due to the unexpected "bonus" of the confined space.
One snap of his fingers actually unleashed such immense power.
A bold and absurd thought suddenly popped into Karl's mind: If I collected all 6 infinity stones and snapped my fingers…
Are you ok???
Karl could somewhat get Thanos's "fun" of snapping his fingers now!
Just then.
Lines of text prompts suddenly appeared on the light screen in front of Karl.
[Detected collectible souls, Warp soul count +1, +1, +1… ]
"Hmm? I didn't expect such an unexpected gain?!"
"Does that mean the souls of the people I kill will automatically be absorbed by the Warp?"
"But what use are these souls… "
Looking at the text displayed on the light screen, Karl was full of questions.
But fortunately, the system quickly answered his doubts.
[Since the host currently does not possess the "Authority of Creation", he cannot actively use the souls of sentient beings to create or evolve new Warp creatures!!!]
[Host, do you wish to immediately abandon your physical body, return to your exclusive Dimension, and become an omniscient and omnipotent Dimension Master?!!!]
"No."
Karl couldn't help but exclaim, "So, by using souls, I can create creatures in the Warp?"
"But I just don't know if all the creatures created will be demons?!"
Although Karl had no intention of abandoning his physical body at the moment.
It was still very necessary to collect more souls in advance for a rainy day.
Perhaps later, when he's had enough fun in the World, he'll return to the Warp.
Then use these souls to create a group of female succubi, and have orgies in the dimensional space every day… Ahem, he wants to transform the Warp into a peaceful paradise of song and dance!!!
In short, everything seemed to be developing in a good direction…
