------------------------------------------------
A wise man knows when to retreat!
Thinking of this, Knull immediately ordered the two Isomorphs who had been guarding him to open a long-distance portal and escape this bizarre dimensional space.
Where there's life, there's hope!
You guys just wait, what happened today... isn't over!!
However, at this moment, Tzeentch, dressed like a refined scoundrel, seemed to have 'anticipated' Knull's thoughts.
"Want to escape? Did My Lord agree?"
As Knull gave the order, Tzeentch elegantly pushed up his glasses with his index finger, then raised his hand and cast a Time Stop towards Knull's direction.
"Whoosh—"
A surge of cerulean psychic energy instantly enveloped the entire area. Whether it was the two Isomorphs beside Knull preparing to open a long-distance portal, or the Isomorphs charging towards Karl and the others on the battlefield, they were all frozen in place by this powerful and unparalleled Tzeentch psychic energy!
"How could I let these Offal disturb My Lord's enjoyment..."
"Also, I warn You, if You can't make My Lord happy, I will resurrect You infinitely, and then make You die infinitely!"
If it were outside the Hyperspace, heavily restricted by physical laws, it would be almost impossible for Tzeentch to do this to a Skyfather-level powerhouse like Knull.
But this is the Hyperspace, his home ground, and he can also leverage the power of the infinity stones to the greatest extent, so dealing with Knull is not a difficult matter.

"How dare you talk to me like that?"
Facing Tzeentch's threat, Knull was furious, but soon an even more infuriating scene unfolded.
Across from him, a Chubby green giant, looking like Shrek, actually smiled and stepped forward to stop the slaughter of the Isomorph Legion by the dragon-shaped demon and the Angel demon, saying:
"Stop killing, stop killing, My Lord has agreed to leave all these materials to me for research..."
This green giant was naturally Nurgle, and the 'materials' he spoke of were undoubtedly the Isomorph Legion.
Shou Lao, Michael, and a host of Great Daemons cast sympathetic glances at the Isomorphs frozen in place.
What a bunch of unlucky guys, being captured by Nurgle for research is going to be a terrible ordeal, they might as well have died on the spot...
"You... what exactly do You want to do?"
Knull roared with indignation, but no one answered his question, only the Emperor's relentless forward steps.
"Damn it, I'll fight You to the death!!"
The next second, two figures, one gold and one black, collided heavily. On one side was a cold Sun symbolizing justice and glory, and on the other was an endless darkness that blotted out the sky and was determined to devour everything. Two incompatible forces thus began a life-and-death struggle!
However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Emperor clearly had the upper hand and was suppressing Knull from the beginning.
There was no helping it, as the 'light', he just happened to counter Knull, who was 'darkness'.
This battle didn't last long, not even long enough for Nurgle to stuff the last Isomorph into his 'big soup pot', before Knull's head was punched off by the Emperor.
Karl's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment when he saw this.
This so-called Symbiote God is simply too weak compared to the Five Little Ones!

...
"Huh? Didn't I just die? This is... hey? Why is it You guys again?!"
When Knull's consciousness 'reawakened' with his soul, he suddenly and tragically discovered that after dying, his soul was still in that strange dimensional space.
Looking at the Four Chaos Gods and the Great Daemons across from him, whose expressions were noticeably 'gentler', Knull had a bitter feeling he couldn't express.
No, big brothers, do You have to mess with me like this?
I'm already dead, please let go of my soul, okay?
Sob sob sob...
"Welcome to the Hyperspace."
Karl slowly stood up and said to the golden giant kneeling silently before him: "Since You are so fond of him, his soul will be handed over to You to handle!"
With that, he waved his hand at the Anti-Party Symbiotes across from him, who were still hard-controlled by slaanesh's Obedience Spell and hadn't regained their self-awareness. The mind stone suspended above the'sky' immediately released a dazzling golden light.
The unparalleled psychic power instantly enveloped the hundreds of thousands of Anti-Party Symbiotes below, and in the blink of an eye, erased their individual consciousness.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect using the power of the infinity stones in the Hyperspace to be so convenient, and it doesn't seem to be restricted by a human body."
Karl's eyes showed a hint of surprise. That action just now was merely a sudden idea he tried, and he didn't expect it to be so successful.
Under normal circumstances, even with the enhancement of the Super Serum - Phase 1, Karl's body could withstand more than 3 times the power limit of the infinity stones, but it was still far from capable of 'brainwashing' millions of Symbiotes simultaneously.
So he decided to try directly guiding the mind stone to release its power to simultaneously and forcibly erase the individual consciousness of all Anti-Party Symbiotes, without using the Hyperspace for power transmission.
"If that's the case, doesn't that mean that as long as I can find a way to trick other Dimension Gods into the Hyperspace in the future, I can close the door and kill them however I want?"
However, Karl soon abandoned this bold idea.
Because doing so had a fatal drawback: if the Dimension God entering the Hyperspace was too powerful, they could completely seize the infinity stones and use their power to counter Karl and the Five Little Ones.
After all, these three infinity stones were not truly integrated with the Hyperspace; they were only temporarily 'stored' in the Hyperspace as Karl's energy source in the Reality Universe.
This would increase the risk of the God-Eating Plan, which was not worth it!
"Anyway, I have plenty of time, it's better to proceed steadily."
Karl then used the power of the Space Stone once again to seal the Symbiotes whose individual consciousness had been erased into a spherical space bullet, then put it in his pocket, and then, accompanied by the Five Little Ones, went to a huge factory built in a public area.
Inside the factory's forging workshop, tall dwarf artisan demons could be seen everywhere, holding giant hammers of different styles, diligently forging something at their workstations.
And the souls of these dwarf artisans almost all came from Nidavellir, the dwarf kingdom in the Nine Realms.
Previously, affected by the Eye of Fear, a large number of dwarf artisans in Nidavellir died unnatural deaths. Karl attached great importance to these experienced 'technicians', directly selecting the most skilled ones and assigning them a very important task.
The remaining dwarf artisans were responsible for forging enchanted weapons and equipment for the Hyperspace demons. The 'cross-shaped mother ships' previously sent into the Hyperspace by the Dark Elves were repaired by them personally.
At this time, a dwarf artisan foreman who was originally supervising the work progress, upon seeing Karl and his group enter the factory from afar, immediately scurried over, reporting to Karl with a fawning expression:
"My Lord, all preliminary preparation work has been completed, and the first batch of Daemon Engines has officially begun production. I believe they will definitely be delivered before the deadline You gave!"
Tzeentch glanced at the dwarf artisan foreman and reminded him sinisterly: "Remember, not definitely... but MUST!!"
"Ah, yes, yes, Lord of Change is right to remind me." The dwarf artisan foreman was so scared that cold sweat streamed down his face, and he quickly bowed and said: "Not definitely, but MUST, MUST be completed."
Karl waved his hand indifferently. As their Boss, he was always lenient with his subordinates.
Then he casually glanced around, his gaze finally falling on a certain workbench.
There, several dwarf artisans were using purely manual forging and kneading 'Earth methods' to create a large number of enchanted parts that looked similar to common human vehicles like cars and airplanes, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself thoughtfully:
"It would be great if these Daemon Engines' bodies could be made of Vibranium... Ah, no, perhaps they should be called Cursed Transformers now!"
"But it doesn't matter, it's still not too late to replace them with a brand new nano-Vibranium body after Wakanda is conquered."
"Speaking of which... Odin should like the new body and new identity I've prepared for him, right?"
That's right, all the parts being processed in this factory are preparations for Karl's next wild plan.
That is, to use Odin and the heroic and skilled Asgardian warrior spirits in Valhalla to create a brand new 'Hyperspace version' of the 'Cursed Mechanical Legion'!
The inspiration naturally came from the Daemon Engines and the Cursed Legion.
However, this Cursed Transformer Legion is not intended for Earth, but for the cosmic starry sky outside of Earth.
And to complete this seemingly insane grand vision, three rigid conditions must be met.
The first, and most important point, is naturally Odin and the spirits of those Asgardian warriors!
Odin's soul goes without saying, he has long since signed a contract to sell himself... Ah, no, a contract to sell his soul to Karl, so as soon as he dies, his soul automatically returns to the Hyperspace, no need to worry at all.
As for the spirits of other Asgardian warriors, Karl will need to acquire them by conquering Valhalla.
However, for him, this is not a difficult matter either.
Because from the day he began to plan for Asgard, Valhalla had already become his possession.
It's just that the time is not right yet, so he hasn't attacked Valhalla for the time being!
So this first point is naturally not a problem.
Secondly, it requires a large amount of rare metals to build mechanical bodies with magic runes for these Cursed Transformers.
This will not only allow Odin and other spirits to maximize their magical talents and combat power, but also give them a sturdy body that is not easily damaged.
And the large amount of high-quality metal ores mined by the Chaos Dark Elves in the huge mining factories they built in Vanaheim were actually specifically prepared for this plan.
Thirdly, in addition to the necessary souls, these Cursed Transformers also need an additional 'Eternal Power Source'.
Although Karl can currently use the Reality Stone's manifestation ability to manifest the cosmic secret energy of the infinity stones in the form of energy blocks and install them into the bodies of these Cursed Transformers.
But he ultimately chose another more efficient power source as their'spark', which is the Eternal Flame!!
In the Marvel Universe, the Eternal Flame is often associated with ancient myths and powerful magic, and has always been a mysterious and powerful existence.
But what Karl truly values is the magical power of the Eternal Flame that can grant life to certain special individuals.
In the movie Thor 3, Hela, the Goddess of Death, used a handful of the Eternal Flame, combined with her own magic, to successfully 'resurrect' a large number of Asgardian warrior corpses buried in the crypts beneath Asgard, as well as the corpse of the giant wolf Fenris, who had accompanied her in conquering the Nine Realms, into an undead army that knew no pain or fatigue!
Even Surtur, the Fire Giant who was beaten by Thor until only his skull remained, after coming into contact with the Eternal Flame, not only instantly recovered to full health, but his strength also directly returned to his most powerful peak, his size increasing several times, becoming a true Fire Giant.
Finally, he used the enlarged Twilight Sword to kill Hela and destroy Asgard, thus successfully fulfilling the ancient prophecy of Ragnarok!
So in Karl's opinion, there is nothing more suitable than the Eternal Flame to be the power source for the Cursed Transformers!
Karl then left the Hyperspace and went to Samuel Sterns' laboratory.
