Chthon had seen much of the world.
During the ancient divine wars, he had been one of the absolute main forces.
More than ten gods had died by his hand.
Whether it was the primordial gods of Earth, the Outer Gods, or even terrifying beings from beyond the Multiverse, he had killed them before.
In his life, the powerful beings he had seen were countless.
He had more than enough understanding of all kinds of geniuses.
But this was the first time he had ever seen a monster like Karl.
The path of the inner universe was not an easy path to walk.
Even among the Elder Gods, only a small handful of beings such as Demiurge and Gaea had taken this path.
That alone showed how difficult this path was.
What was even more difficult was how to control an inner universe.
This was a complex universe. Every minute and every second, the information contained within it was unimaginably vast.
An ordinary person would probably have their soul burst apart the moment they came into contact with that terrifying amount of information.
Even for a powerful god-level being, controlling a fully formed universe was an extremely difficult task.
Normally, it required accumulation over a long, endless span of time.
Demiurge had spent tens of millions of years before he mastered his universe.
As for someone like Cyttorak, he had spent hundreds of millions of years.
That kind of timescale was so long that it could even wait until a universe aged and died.
How long had Karl used?
A few years?
Even if this guy had possessed that universe from the moment he was born, it still should not have been possible!
Fear was born in Chthon's heart.
It was true fear.
Karl's talent made him feel as though he could barely breathe.
He understood that if Karl was allowed to keep developing like this, then in just a few more years, Chthon would no longer be able to defeat him at all.
But what could he do?
He could not beat him now!
Chthon could no longer hold himself together.
His fury toward Demiurge surged straight into the sky.
If not for that damned seal Demiurge had placed on him, why would he have fallen to this state?
Even the current Karl would have been killed with a single glance!
The difference between the Multiversal level and the Single-Universe level was the difference between an ant and the sun.
Yet Demiurge's seal had limited his power to the Single-Universe level.
Against someone like Karl, he truly had no options.
Even such a terrifying move had failed to do anything to Karl. What else could he possibly do?
"This brat is far too strong."
"I'm afraid we aren't his match."
Chthon took advantage of the moment while Karl was resisting the power of True Hell to communicate with the three great demons.
In front of that evil power, the three great demons also looked somewhat battered.
However, their gazes were still fixed on Karl.
Naturally, they knew the situation was turning grim.
Even such a terrifying attack had been blocked. It could be said that they simply had no methods left.
"How about we run first?"
Mephisto suggested.
It was not strange that Mephisto had become this cowardly.
After all, as long as one survived, there would still be another chance.
His lair had already been raided.
The souls and power source he had accumulated over countless years had all been taken away.
That was the equivalent of having someone grab hold of his lifeline before the fight had even started.
This problem was extremely serious.
Now, he could barely endure even the aftershocks of the battle between these people, so naturally, he had no confidence left.
When the other two great demons heard this, they were also very tempted.
They were demons.
Normally, if they could win, they fought. If they could not win, they ran.
This was very normal in the demon world. There was nothing to be ashamed of.
Mephisto's suggestion matched their thoughts perfectly.
But clearly, Chthon did not think the same way.
"Leave?"
"How can you be so naive? Do you really think this brat will let you leave so easily?"
"I'm afraid you won't even get away before this guy catches up, then breaks you down one by one."
"Don't blame me for not warning you."
"You have no idea how terrifying someone who has mastered a universe can be."
Chthon spoke with a dark expression.
Back then, he had felt that Demiurge was not particularly impressive.
Was he not just a mild-mannered old man?
Aside from keeping dogs and walking cats every day, he seemed incapable of doing anything. Even during the divine war, he barely had any presence.
Then Chthon went and provoked him.
As a result, he ended up like this.
Fortunately, Demiurge had no killing intent. Otherwise, Chthon might have been erased outright.
He simply had not expected Karl to be this powerful as well.
He was simply a monster!
Retracting his thoughts, Chthon looked at the three great demons before him and said, "Do you really think you can just give up because of him?"
"After provoking him this much, do you think he won't be angry?"
"On the contrary, people like this are not merciful. If you provoke them, you will die a very miserable death."
"Either kill him, or die."
"Don't think that just because you were once at the Multiversal level, there is no way to deal with you."
"The spell arrays on Earth are configured on a planetary scale, and they also resonate with and interfere with the ones near the Moon."
"They can absolutely capture you, then seal you into the spell arrays and use you as an energy source until your souls and bodies are completely ground away."
Chthon revealed this secret in a gloomy tone.
The three great demons trembled inwardly when they heard it.
If things really were as Chthon said, then it would be far too miserable.
Being drained dry alive.
That fate would be far more tragic than death.
Hearing this, Krakkan gritted his teeth.
"Then tell us what to do."
"I want to kill him too, but we can't beat him."
Krakkan spoke helplessly.
Did he not want to kill the brat in front of them?
Of course he was extremely greedy for a universe that had not fully matured!
It was just that he could not win!
Chthon's expression was also extremely dark.
"At this point, there is only one method."
"I will use Dark Magic to link the power of the four of us together."
"With that powerful force, perhaps we can fight him."
Chthon spoke.
The other three great demons thought about it and felt he was right.
"In that case, we might as well try."
"If there's a chance, we can recover everything we lost before."
Balthakk also spoke.
There was one sentence he did not say.
If they saw that success was impossible, they could simply turn and run.
Their dimensions were nearby.
As long as they got inside, no one would be able to stop them from escaping.
"Good."
"Don't resist."
As he spoke, Chthon began chanting. A complex incantation came out of his mouth.
Around his body, gray-black rays of energy suddenly appeared.
"Soul Link!"
Chthon's eyes widened.
The gray-black light directly pierced into the bodies of the three great demons around him.
For a moment, Chthon's power suddenly became extremely mighty.
