Karl naturally had no way of knowing what had happened in the multiverse and the outside world.
His reach had not yet extended that far.
For powerful beings, information was extremely confidential.
Others might know that he had fought a battle, but how he had fought it, what techniques he had used, and what methods had appeared were rarely recorded.
If the others made no moves, Karl naturally had no way to obtain news about them.
Besides, to him right now, none of this had any meaning.
Only after he officially entered the multiverse would he begin paying attention to these details.
Karl simply had not expected that day to arrive so quickly.
After killing several Celestials and gaining a tremendous amount of power, Karl returned to his own universe once again.
In the blink of an eye, he returned to Kamar-Taj.
Mordo was not surprised by his return.
No matter when it was, everything in front of Karl always seemed like frail obstacles.
He had long since gotten used to it.
There was nothing worth being surprised about if Karl came back.
If Karl did not come back, that would be what surprised him.
To a certain extent, Karl truly was the backbone of the current Kamar-Taj.
"Did anything happen while I was away?"
Karl asked Mordo.
If he had been inside the universe, Karl would not have asked such a question.
However, outside the universe, the flow of time was not the same as inside the universe.
Although it looked as if he had not been gone for long, inside the universe, a month had already passed.
That was why he asked.
"Nothing major happened."
"Oh, right."
"The Ancient One has returned. She said you should go find her after you came back."
Mordo slapped his forehead and spoke.
"Oh?"
"When did the Ancient One return?"
Karl was also pleasantly surprised.
The Ancient One had left Kamar-Taj several years ago.
She had gone wandering through the Deep-Layer Dimensions.
During that time, Karl had been unable to track her whereabouts.
Hearing that the Ancient One had returned, Karl was very happy.
The Ancient One was one of the teachers he respected most.
His mental force spread out, and he immediately sensed the Ancient One's location.
"Since the Ancient One is looking for me, Master Mordo, I will take my leave first."
Karl said this.
Mordo nodded.
Karl turned and left.
Generally speaking, while inside Kamar-Taj, he would not release his terrifying mental force.
His power was simply too immense.
Even if he did his best to control it, he would still unconsciously affect the sorcerers.
Moreover, if he expanded his mental force even slightly, the thoughts of the sorcerers would be exposed before his eyes.
Many dark things would be revealed.
One should judge people by their actions, not by every shadow that passes through their mind.
Even though the sorcerers were worthy guardians who protected Earth, they would still have dark thoughts in their hearts.
If Karl perceived those things, it would not be good for anyone.
Therefore, after realizing how powerful his mental force had become, Karl restrained his power.
On Earth, he was not very different from the other sorcerers.
This was also one of the reasons why he had not noticed the Ancient One's return, nor immediately discovered the Celestial invasion.
As long as something did not threaten him, he usually would not sense it.
While greeting the sorcerers, Karl flew over.
Very soon, he found the Sorcerer Supreme reading in her room.
When the Ancient One saw him enter, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Karl, you are back."
"Has the matter with the Celestials been settled?"
The Ancient One asked.
"Thank you for your concern. It has already been handled."
Karl smiled as he replied.
"That is good."
The Ancient One let out a breath of relief, then spoke again.
"Why did you ask about this?"
Karl asked in return.
Generally speaking, she never asked about his affairs.
This was also one of the reasons why he respected the Ancient One.
Everyone handled matters differently.
As long as someone did not cross her bottom line, she would never interfere in another person's affairs.
Yet this time, she had actually asked.
This truly exceeded Karl's expectations.
What Karl did not expect was that the Ancient One would sigh and say,
"While I was roaming, I encountered Agamotto the All-Seeing."
"He told me to come back and warn you not to kill the Celestials."
"Every single one of those beings carries enormous trouble with them."
The Ancient One spoke.
Karl's expression shifted slightly as he asked,
"What do you mean?"
"Child, you must understand that the Celestials are one of the oldest groups in this world. They have a vast number of Celestials."
"And most importantly, they serve under the Living Tribunal. They are part of this world's laws."
"If you kill members of the Celestials, it is very likely to bring you tremendous trouble."
The Ancient One spoke very solemnly.
"The Living Tribunal?"
"Then I do not need to worry."
"With the Living Tribunal's power, he naturally does not pose enough of a threat to me."
Karl smiled as he spoke.
"I am afraid things are not that simple."
"The Living Tribunal is the guardian of the universe's rules. He likely will not violate the laws of life and death so easily."
"In that case, you will have made enemies of the Celestials themselves."
The Ancient One spoke with concern written across her face.
She was worried about Karl's safety.
The Celestials were one of the most powerful forces in this world.
They had many members, and each of them possessed formidable strength.
According to Agamotto, they were among the oldest existences in this world.
In the vast multiverse, there were even more powerful members of the Celestials.
These few could not be considered much at all.
The Ancient One was very worried about Karl's safety.
She continued,
"According to Agamotto, outside the multiverse, among the Celestials, there are multiverse-level beings of the greatest power."
"Even the entire multiverse was created by chance because of a war among the Celestials."
"You absolutely must not be careless."
The Ancient One spoke with deep concern.
Hearing the Ancient One say this, Karl also became a little more cautious.
He was not worried about himself.
If things truly became impossible, he could simply hide inside his own universe.
Once his universe moved, no one would be able to find him.
Unless they searched the entire multiverse.
That was the advantage of the world being too vast.
As long as someone wanted to hide, no one in the multiverse could track an existence with one hundred percent certainty.
Not even the Five Great Gods could do it.
What he was worried about was this group of Celestials repeatedly coming to seek revenge.
Could his universe withstand it?
Could Kamar-Taj withstand it?
Battles at the multiverse level were extremely dangerous.
They possessed the ability to destroy universes.
The reason they did not do so was because they had restraints.
But once things reached an extreme point, no one could say what they might do.
The universe might even be directly destroyed.
Thinking of this, Karl nodded solemnly.
"Please rest assured. I will consider it carefully."
