As Ganata continued devouring the Dark Dimension, Dormammu, who had been imprisoned inside the Mirror Dimension by Karl, grew weaker and weaker.
At the same time, his connection to the Dark Dimension continued to deteriorate.
For Dormammu, that connection was his lifeline.
If it was severed completely, he would cease to exist.
Realizing this, Dormammu began attacking the Mirror Dimension like a madman.
He desperately attempted to break through the dimensional barrier.
However—
No matter what spells, dimensional manipulation, or cosmic abilities he used, the barrier created by Karl's Single-Universe-level power remained completely unshakable.
Gradually, despair overtook him.
Five hours later—
Ganata had grown noticeably larger.
During that time she had devoured everything inside the Dark Dimension:
Dark matterDimensional energyCelestial bodiesEven the dimensional structure itself
Soon afterward, she returned to her humanoid form and appeared beside Karl again.
For the moment, her hunger had been satisfied.
Of course, that state would not last forever.
Perhaps because she had consumed an entire dimension—or perhaps because her body was overflowing with energy—her figure had become even more striking.
Her clothes were practically straining under the pressure.
Karl simply took her hand and left the collapsing dimension.
He already remembered several other dimensions that had previously attempted to invade Earth.
When Ganata became hungry again, he planned to let her devour those as well.
Ganata happily held Karl's hand.
She patted her stomach with the other hand and squinted her eyes into cheerful crescents.
She was clearly satisfied.
Meanwhile—
Inside the Mirror Dimension—
Dormammu's connection to the Dark Dimension finally snapped.
His existence collapsed along with it.
His form disappeared entirely.
The next moment—
Karl and Ganata returned to Earth.
Across the planet, countless people were still struggling to clear away the remaining dark energy corruption.
Karl looked up toward the sky.
Then he released a vast surge of golden energy.
The energy carried the power of the Reality Stone.
Golden light spread across the entire atmosphere.
Soon afterward, it transformed into a rain of golden energy droplets.
When the golden rain touched the dark energy—
The corruption evaporated instantly.
Even creatures and humans who had been fully transformed by dark energy were purified and dissolved.
Seeing the darkness finally disappear, people around the world felt immense relief.
The apocalypse had ended.
Afterward, Karl brought Ganata back to the house beside Tony Stark's secluded residence.
Without hesitation, he walked inside, grabbed several bottles of wine, and sat down outside to drink.
At that moment, Pepper walked out of the house carrying little Morgan.
The moment Morgan saw Karl—
She began struggling in Pepper's arms, trying to reach him.
Pepper could only smile helplessly.
Then she handed the baby to Karl.
Karl placed Morgan on a chair beside him while Pepper returned inside to prepare food.
Meanwhile, Tony, Howard, and Maria had all gone out to help clear the remaining dark energy while wearing their armor.
Only Pepper and Morgan were currently at home.
As for safety—
There was no concern at all.
Tony had heavily modified the entire valley.
Weapons, sensors, and automated armor units were hidden everywhere.
No ordinary person could enter the area unnoticed.
Ganata sat quietly beside Karl, slowly chewing on a red energy crystal.
Karl then took out his communicator.
He chatted briefly with May, Helen Cho, Raven, Wanda, and the others who were still exploring another planet.
He told them he would return soon.
Then he ended the call.
Almost immediately afterward—
Yan, Black Phoenix, and Hela appeared beside him.
They casually sat down nearby.
Karl took several drinks out of his system space and handed them out.
Each one matched their preferences.
Yan received milk-flavored teaBlack Phoenix drank coffeeHela received a glass of milk
Karl had been extremely surprised when he first discovered Hela's taste for milk.
Who would have expected the Goddess of Death of Asgard to secretly enjoy something so ordinary?
Karl had teased her about it many times.
Every time—
Hela responded with a glare.
The group relaxed around the outdoor table, quietly drinking.
Soon, several streaks of light appeared in the sky.
Tony, Howard, and Maria landed nearby.
Because Tony had injected both of his parents with the super-gene serum, their bodies had barely aged since Karl resurrected them.
After removing their armor, Tony and Howard sat down opposite Karl.
They grabbed bottles of wine and began drinking.
A moment later—
A seven-colored beam of light appeared in the sky.
Thor stepped out of the Bifröst, holding Stormbreaker.
He walked over, grabbed a bottle of wine, and joined them.
"By the way, Karl…"
Thor asked after taking a sip.
"Is Dormammu finally dealt with?"
Everyone looked toward Karl.
Everyone except Ganata, who continued chewing her red energy crystal without any concern.
"It's finished," Karl replied calmly.
"Dormammu is dead."
"Even the Dark Dimension has been devoured by Ganata."
"There's nothing left for him to resurrect from."
Thor, Tony, and the others were shocked.
But considering Karl's current strength, the result was not entirely surprising.
Suddenly—
Tony looked at Morgan in Karl's arms.
"Hey!"
"Give her back!"
"That's my daughter!"
Karl laughed and handed Morgan to him.
Tony carefully held his baby daughter.
But little Morgan immediately reached toward Howard's beard.
She grabbed it.
And pulled.
Several strands were instantly torn out.
Howard winced in pain.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Suddenly—
Sparks appeared in the air beside them.
A portal opened.
Stephen Strange stepped out.
Karl merely glanced at him briefly.
Then ignored him.
Strange didn't hesitate.
He simply sat down beside them, grabbed a bottle of wine, and started drinking as well.
After dinner at Tony's house, everyone gradually left.
Karl, along with Yan, Ganata, Black Phoenix, and Hela, traveled to Kamar-Taj.
They repaired the three damaged Sanctums.
Using the power of the six Infinity Stones, Karl established an even stronger planetary magical barrier.
Now even Dormammu would never again be able to invade Earth.
Karl remained at Kamar-Taj for one day.
During that time, Zhou Yinyin, the Frost Goddess from the East, came to visit him.
Suddenly—
Urgent news arrived.
Someone had attacked the energy-crystal planet.
A gigantic being had appeared there.
Its size was larger than an entire planet.
Its target was Red Crystal.
Big Wanda, Speed, and Juggernaut were already fighting the giant.
When Karl heard this—
He immediately stood up.
A giant larger than a planet?
That description sounded familiar.
A member of the Celestials.
In the next instant—
Karl's Golden Cloth embedded with the six Infinity Stones appeared around his body.
