Time was the most meaningless thing to beings at the multiversal level.
Especially for someone like Karl, who had comprehended the essence of time.
To beings like them, time was no longer a simple, linear concept.
In only a few minutes by Earth's standards, Karl had set up a trap outside the universe—one powerful enough to bury gods.
Along with it, he had also prepared Chaos Magic capable of erasing a universe from existence in an instant.
After finishing all of this, even Karl could not help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Even when he had killed those Celestials, he had not consumed this much energy.
"Good. With this, the next Celestials who come after me are already as good as dealt with."
Karl thought to himself.
Based on his understanding of the Celestials, the chance of tricking them was as high as ninety-nine percent.
Why had he chosen to set up the trap on the battlefield he had blasted open?
Because in that region, the Celestials who had been trapped there had died.
The laws and rules there were in utter chaos.
Even Karl himself could not peer into fate in that place.
Naturally, it would be impossible to foresee the danger waiting there.
It could be said that Karl had calculated everything against them to the extreme.
Those Celestials who were about to arrive had no idea what they were about to face.
After Karl finished preparing everything, he spoke with a sigh.
"It is also time to leave this place and enter the multiverse."
"I need to search for opportunities to improve myself."
When he had first arrived at Kamar-Taj, learning magic had only been for the sake of avoiding being erased by Thanos's snap.
But now, his goal had long since changed.
Pursuing the mysteries of magic and comprehending the truth of this world had become his objective.
At last, he was about to take a new step forward.
"However, before I leave, I need to arrange things here first."
"After I leave, someone will have to manage Kamar-Taj."
"Ancient One probably will not stay for too long."
Karl shook his head.
Ancient One was not someone who could endure loneliness forever.
The fact that she had managed to persist for several hundred years was already extremely rare.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
For hundreds of years, Kamar-Taj had almost entirely relied on Ancient One alone to support it.
Among the Sorcerers, not a single one had truly been capable enough to take over.
Selecting Sorcerers, teaching Sorcerers, refining magical artifacts, maintaining justice, handling the operation of Kamar-Taj...
Just thinking about it gave Karl a headache.
If not for Mordo, he would have thrown down the burden and quit long ago.
Who knew how Ancient One had managed to hold on for so many years?
As the old saying went, the world was not only about fighting and killing; it was also about managing relationships and responsibilities.
Protecting Earth was not about fighting every single day either. More often, it meant facing ordinary, tedious problems.
Even though Sorcerers had far fewer demands for food and lodging than ordinary people, they still possessed human emotions, and naturally, they also had all kinds of troubles.
Even superheroes still had to worry about studying, exams, work, and ordinary life.
They were naturally the same.
Being the Sorcerer Supreme was not an easy job.
With Ancient One's personality, if she had not been at the Skyfather level, she would have long since died from exhaustion like an overworked strategist.
After finding Karl, no one knew how happy she had been.
How could she possibly stay behind now?
After telling Karl the news and meeting the Sorcerers once, Ancient One had already disappeared.
She was even faster than Karl.
Counting on Ancient One was hopeless.
"The only reliable people inside Kamar-Taj right now are Mordo and Strange."
"The other Sorcerers are still somewhat lacking."
Karl could not help shaking his head.
Managing Kamar-Taj was not something that could be done with strength alone.
It also required enough wisdom.
"Although Strange has greater potential, he still is not steady enough."
"After thinking it over, Mordo is still the more reliable one."
Karl thought to himself.
Admittedly, Mordo's performance in the movies had not been good.
However, Karl had paid great attention to this matter before and had suppressed Mordo quite a bit in the past.
Later, however, he discovered that Mordo did not have as much ambition as he had imagined.
At the very least, in Karl's view, Mordo had performed his duties very competently.
As the saying went, judge people by their actions, not by their hearts; if one judged by hearts alone, no one would be innocent.
He could not casually cut off someone's future just because of what they might be thinking.
Doing that would be madness.
"In that case, Mordo can continue handling affairs, while Strange assists him."
"Even if something goes wrong, it can still be fixed."
"I just need to leave an avatar in Kamar-Taj."
Karl shook his head.
At the multiversal level, power had already begun to exceed imagination.
Splitting off an avatar was an extremely easy matter.
With the power of his soul, creating millions of avatars would be very simple.
Leaving one avatar behind was not a big problem for him.
With a wave of his hand, a stream of golden information was sent out directly.
After waiting in place for a short while, Mordo and Strange walked in side by side.
"Sorcerer Supreme, what do you need from us?"
Strange asked respectfully.
"I called you here because there is naturally something I need to tell you."
"For certain reasons, I must leave this universe."
"I may be gone for a very long time."
"During the time I am away, Mordo will handle the affairs of Kamar-Taj."
"Strange and Wong will assist him from the side. You must ensure that Kamar-Taj continues operating normally."
Karl spoke with a smile.
"How long will you be away, roughly?"
Strange asked.
"That is uncertain."
"In many places, the order of time is different from Earth's."
"I cannot determine exactly how long it will take."
"If my luck is bad, it may take several years."
Karl said with a smile.
"It will actually take that long?"
Mordo frowned.
"Naturally. The flow of time outside the universe is different from the flow of time inside the world."
"And that is only under relatively fortunate circumstances."
"No one knows exactly what the situation will be."
"However, I will leave behind an avatar. It will be enough to deal with most situations."
"Under normal circumstances, most matters will need to be handled by you."
"However, Kamar-Taj's current strength is still far from truly powerful."
"You only need to maintain Kamar-Taj's stable operation."
Karl said with a smile.
"I understand. You can rest assured."
"For us, this should not be anything difficult."
Mordo replied very steadily.
Clearly, for Mordo, temporarily managing Kamar-Taj was not particularly difficult.
Moreover, this represented Karl's respect for him.
He was very satisfied with that.
Seeing this, Karl nodded in satisfaction.
