Whoosh, whoosh!
It was as if a gale had suddenly risen in the sky.
The surrounding green, evil energy was blown away by the terrifying shockwave.
Chthon's body suddenly expanded by a full size.
A layer of armor appeared over him, like a chitinous insect carapace, shining with a metallic luster. It looked unbelievably hard.
The aura radiating from him had also become terrifying.
It felt as if he had drawn infinitely close to the multiversal level.
When Karl saw that the surrounding evil power had disappeared, he naturally withdrew his Internal Universe.
Then he saw Chthon in front of him, looking as if he had been pumped full of some kind of stimulant.
"Chthon, you have even resorted to a method like this?"
"To deal with me, you actually used Soul Link?"
"Aren't you afraid something will go wrong afterward?"
Karl said with a smile.
Dark Magic was indeed extremely powerful.
However, in Kamar-Taj, it was absolutely forbidden.
That was because every powerful form of Dark Magic came at the cost of life.
A spell like Soul Link forcibly linked the souls of four people together, allowing them to share all their power and abilities.
The strength it produced was indeed extremely powerful, but the price was anything but ordinary.
After it ended, they could suffer from a confused sense of self and sink into self-indulgent corruption.
They could even develop split personalities.
This kind of power touched the very essence of the soul. No powerful being could avoid its consequences.
Even Chthon could not avoid such terrifying aftereffects.
For them to dare use this kind of power, they truly were risking everything.
Chthon, however, remained expressionless.
"That is our problem."
"Once we kill you, none of it will be a problem."
Chthon said coldly.
Although he said that, his heart was not truly at ease.
If he maintained this state for a certain amount of time, he could transfer the backlash to other people who studied Dark Magic.
Those people would then suddenly be affected without knowing why.
But if this state lasted too long, even he would suffer an enormous backlash.
There was also one biggest problem.
In the Soul Link state, if one person died, all four of them would suffer severe injuries.
That was why Krakkan and Balthakk were protecting that useless Mephisto.
Chthon knew he could not keep dragging this out.
In the time it took his thoughts to race, Chthon charged forward directly.
He punched toward Karl.
It looked like a fist, but it radiated a razor-sharp aura, giving the impression of a claw.
Karl did not hesitate at all.
He also punched straight forward.
Clang!
An ear-piercing sound rang out.
Space itself was shattered by the overwhelming power of the two of them.
Hell had already been severely damaged, and now it was completely torn apart.
The air was filled with countless hidden spatial rifts.
If an ordinary life-form passed through this place, it would instantly be sliced into pieces by the terrifying spatial rifts.
Even the power of laws in the air had become unstable, scattered, and fractured.
Just one ordinary collision had nearly destroyed the foundational laws of this entire world.
The terrifying force of their collision shook Hell from its very source.
Bang, bang, bang!
In the blink of an eye, Chthon and Karl clashed more than a thousand times.
In midair, afterimages of the two of them were everywhere.
The ground was split open by their battle.
Mountains were erased by their terrifying power.
Hell was a terrifying world.
Its towering ranges were far more fearsome than those on Earth.
Every small mountain was taller and larger than Earth's greatest peaks.
Every mountain range was comparable to the most colossal ranges on Earth.
But in the face of the shockwaves from these two fighters, these mountains were even more fragile than rotten rubble.
A single casual ripple flattened them directly.
Plains were transformed straight into ravines.
The shockwaves from their battle permanently changed Hell's terrain.
Some powerful Hell Lords still wanted to attack them.
In the end, before they could even get close, they were annihilated by the shockwaves from the battle between the two.
All the powerful demons in Hell were fleeing.
"This is too terrifying! This generation's Sorcerer Supreme is too terrifying!"
"You didn't see it! Deadbone Chasm was flattened in the blink of an eye!"
"You didn't see it either! It was miserable. The Flame Lord next to my territory had only just shown himself before he was turned straight into ash!"
"You didn't see Pillar Mountain! That Sorcerer Supreme threw one punch, and everything in an enormous radius around it collapsed!"
"Leave, leave! Hell is completely uninhabitable now!"
A group of great demons were in an utterly miserable state, fleeing Hell with all their followers and dependents.
But Karl and Chthon's battle still did not stop.
Boom!
Boom!
Karl stepped through the void.
A hollow space like a black hole appeared.
Karl punched directly toward the ground.
Chthon was like a meteor, smashed straight underground by him.
Crack!
The ground collapsed directly.
A bottomless pit appeared in an instant.
But that was not the end.
Karl reached out.
Blinding holy light erupted.
It was as if a blazing sun had appeared in the sky.
Hell, which had originally been incomparably dim, suddenly became bright.
Karl waved his hand downward.
A colossal beam of light shot straight down.
The ground was melted by the terrifying energy beam. It looked as if a volcano had erupted, with lava everywhere.
However—
Bang!
Chthon shot up from underground.
Terrifying purple streams of energy swirled around his body. For a moment, even the surrounding air was annihilated.
This place became a vacuum environment, as if it were outer space.
Carrying an enormous impact force, he swung his fist and charged straight at Karl.
Karl stretched out both hands.
Platinum-white light lit up directly.
A magical shield over a hundred meters thick appeared.
Crack!
The enormous energy shield in front of Karl, over a hundred meters thick, was shattered directly.
Karl reached out.
With one palm, he directly grabbed Chthon's fist.
Karl laughed freely and said,
"Chthon, how much longer do you think you can last?"
"You've probably already started confusing your own perception of self, haven't you?"
"I can keep fighting for another year!"
Karl was full of energy.
There was not the slightest hint of fatigue on him. On the contrary, he looked extremely refreshed.
Using all kinds of methods made him feel no different from when the battle had just started.
Karl could sense it.
As long as he went back and spent some time properly comprehending everything, his strength would increase again.
Perhaps he could even break through his current bottleneck!
After all, in the Marvel world, the multiversal level was only the beginning!
A sharp light flashed in Karl's eyes.
He threw a punch straight at Chthon.
Chthon could not dodge in time and was sent flying by another punch.
Karl did not hesitate at all and immediately followed after him.
