The little girl beside Karl suddenly launched an attack toward the city below.
At the same moment, the warships that had been targeting them also opened fire.
However, Karl easily blocked every attack.
Then something astonishing happened.
All the energy crystals throughout the city suddenly transformed into streams of energy and flew toward the little girl.
She began absorbing them directly.
As a result, many of the city's warships and weapons immediately lost their power supply.
Several warships even fell from the sky after their energy systems shut down.
Karl did not expect her to possess such absolute control over the planet's energy crystals.
BOOM—!
BANG—!
At the same time, the entire planet seemed to respond to the little girl's anger.
Dark clouds gathered across the sky.
Lightning began flashing violently.
Even the plants across the planet began growing wildly, as if nature itself were reacting to her emotions.
Soon, the lightning in the sky condensed into a stream of blue energy.
It slowly descended beside the little girl.
Without hesitation—
She grasped the lightning with her hand.
Then she unleashed it toward the city below.
The destructive energy erupted across the city as she vented her anger.
After all—
She was the master of this world.
And her home had been invaded.
Outsiders had hunted and experimented on her people without mercy.
Even if she had been born innocent—
That did not mean she would not feel rage.
Within thirty minutes, every building belonging to the planet's technological civilization was destroyed.
Countless blue-skinned humanoid natives were either killed or severely injured.
Their warships, weapons, and technological systems all failed.
Because every piece of their technology depended on energy crystals as its power source.
And the energy crystals had all been taken.
They were now under the little girl's control.
The natives had no way to resist.
Even when many of them knelt down in surrender—
The little girl continued attacking.
Only after the city was completely destroyed did she stop.
Then she descended toward the laboratory ruins.
Inside, she rescued the energy beasts that had been captured.
The creatures were only the size of a palm.
They looked adorable, each with a small red crystal growing on its back.
Then something happened that even surprised Karl.
The little girl gathered all the energy crystals stored in the city.
She transformed them into streams of pure energy.
Then she used that energy to revive the dead energy beasts.
As long as their souls had not completely dissipated, they were restored to life.
Karl's eyes widened.
This was unbelievable.
Reviving so many creatures at once was not simple.
Even if they were small beings—
Resurrection required the fusion of soul and body.
Yet she accomplished it effortlessly.
And she was only at the Sub–Skyfather level.
Karl could only marvel at the power of a naturally born god.
Afterward, Karl used his creation abilities.
He transformed the ruins of the destroyed city back into the planet's natural landscape.
Forests and vegetation quickly reclaimed the area.
Meanwhile, the little girl suddenly seemed exhausted.
She had revived too many creatures at once.
Her body began to fall from the sky.
Karl sighed helplessly.
He quickly caught her and held her in his arms.
When the little girl realized Karl had caught her, she returned to her innocent demeanor.
She simply stared at him with her large crimson eyes.
"Alright."
"You can rest now."
Karl spoke gently.
"I'll destroy the rest of the cities for you."
"And I'll bring the remaining souls back."
Then he looked toward the others.
He nodded toward Yan, Hela, Ganata, Black Phoenix, and Big Wanda.
The signal was clear.
They were to destroy the remaining cities and rescue the surviving energy beasts and their souls.
Karl had already made a decision.
He intended to take the little girl with him.
After all—
She was a naturally born god.
And she possessed the potential to grow into a Single-Universe-level entity.
Such a being would inevitably become one of the universe's future powerhouses.
Karl had no intention of letting such a rare existence remain alone on this planet.
Soon, Yan and the others flew toward different regions of the planet.
Their mission was simple.
Destroy the remaining civilizations responsible for the experiments.
Meanwhile, Juggernaut drove his modified super off-road vehicle toward Karl's location.
Peter and Pietro were riding with him.
After hearing the explanation from May and Raven, they quickly understood what had happened.
The little girl rested quietly in Karl's arms.
Soon, surrounding energy began flowing toward her body.
She was recovering her strength.
Suddenly—
A seven-colored beam of light descended from the sky.
Karl and the others instantly recognized it.
The Rainbow Bridge of Asgard.
Everyone turned to look.
Two figures emerged from the beam.
Thor.
And Tony Stark.
After spotting Karl, the two immediately approached.
At the same time, across the planet, every remaining technological city had already been destroyed by Yan, Big Wanda, Black Phoenix, Hela, and the others.
With their Skyfather-level power, such a task was effortless.
Especially with Ganata, a Single-Universe-level being, present.
After finishing their mission, the women returned to Karl's side.
"Oh?"
Hela looked at Thor and smirked.
"Well, well."
"Isn't this my little brother?"
"The King of Asgard himself."
Her voice dripped with sarcasm.
"So what brings you here?"
"Did you come to visit your big sister?"
Thor froze awkwardly.
He had been about to explain Tony's situation to Karl.
The others chuckled softly at Hela's teasing.
Then they waved their hands.
Suddenly, a large group of energy beasts appeared beside them.
Their souls were floating nearby.
At that moment, the little girl opened her eyes.
She left Karl's arms.
Then she began using the power of the entire planet.
Energy flowed toward her.
The souls and bodies of the energy beasts were reunited.
Their injuries were healed.
Once she finished, the little girl walked back to Karl.
She looked at him quietly.
"I have decided."
She said softly.
"You can call me Red Crystal from now on."
Karl smiled and nodded.
Meanwhile, Tony stood nearby looking extremely anxious.
Pepper's unborn child was still cursed.
Time was running out.
Tony finally stepped forward.
"Karl…"
"I need your help."
His voice trembled.
"Pepper's child has been cursed by Dormammu."
"We tried everything."
"But we can't remove the curse."
Tony lowered his head.
"I had no choice but to come find you."
"I'm begging you."
"Please save my child."
He was even preparing to kneel.
Karl immediately grabbed him.
"Hey!"
"What are you doing?!"
"I never said I wouldn't help you!"
Karl quickly stopped Tony from kneeling.
"Alright, alright."
"I'll help."
"We'll go right now."
Tony's eyes immediately filled with tears.
He stepped forward and hugged Karl tightly.
Karl sighed helplessly.
Then he turned toward the others.
"Yan."
"Ganata."
"Black Phoenix."
"Hela."
"You're coming with me."
He looked at Wanda.
"Wanda, stay here and protect everyone."
Then Karl patted Red Crystal gently on the head.
"Little Crystal."
"You too, alright?"
May and the others already understood.
Karl was leaving to save someone.
So they did not plan to follow him.
