[Start of the chapter]
Karl's magic was truly terrifying in power.
Up in the sky—
that gigantic Portal could be said to completely overshadow even the Portal opened by the Tesseract.
The massive golden Portal was an entire size larger than the blue one.
Inside the Chitauri Mothership, the Chitauri commander was dumbfounded.
They had dumped nearly half of the Mothership's ammunition in one go—
and it had achieved absolutely nothing?
That was just too absurd!
In this universe, something this outrageous actually existed?
Weren't they told Earth was just a primitive planet?
Then why was there a freak like this?
The Chitauri commander was filled with indignation.
They didn't dare vent their rage at Thanos, so naturally they poured all that anger onto Karl instead.
Even stronger artillery fire blasted straight down toward the ground.
Unfortunately—
Karl's methods were simply too strong.
The Portal spanned the sky like a vast curtain: no matter what storm came crashing in, it stood unshaken.
All incoming fire was swallowed straight into it.
In only a short while, the Chitauri Mothership fell completely silent.
One person—
facing a colossal starship, an existence capable of destroying a planet—
and yet now—
it had been forced to eat dirt in front of Karl alone.
The shock Karl brought to everyone was beyond imagining.
Even Thanos, deep in the cosmos, turned his gaze this way.
But no one knew that.
At that moment, Karl spoke.
"You had fun firing just now, didn't you?"
"Now I'm giving it all back to you."
Karl said it calmly.
Another enormous Portal appeared again.
Countless blue blasts poured out from within the Portal once more.
This was the terrifying strength of a Portal—
using the enemy's attacks to attack the enemy.
Doctor Strange had once used Portals to deal with Ebony Maw.
Now,
Karl used the same move to deal with the Chitauri starship.
Seeing this dazzling scene,
everyone was stunned into stupidity!
They simply couldn't understand the principle behind it.
"What the hell is this magic?"
"It can even absorb attacks?!"
Captain America couldn't help scratching his head.
How was that possible?
Was magic really this miraculous?
"This should be some kind of spatial magic."
"But… this magic is kind of huge…"
Thor couldn't help the corner of his mouth twitching.
Spatial magic—Asgard could do that too.
The World Tree was exceptionally adept at spatial magic.
Odin could even send Thor to Earth.
But—
using spatial magic like this for offense, he was seeing it for the first time.
Portals could be used like this?
You Kamar-Taj sorcerers really know how to play.
Thor's mouth twitched, his face full of shock.
No wonder sorcerers were so strong—this level of magic wasn't even in the same category as Asgard's.
While they were still marveling,
the sky changed again.
Massive attacks shot out from within the Portal.
Naturally, the Chitauri starship wasn't completely without defenses.
On the enormous starship, a thick blue energy shield rose up.
Those attacks were blocked.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Deafening explosions rang out.
The sky was filled with huge bursts of sparks.
Then—
they saw the starship actually begin to climb.
That gigantic Chitauri starship was trying to flee in panic!
Gulp.
The sound of the Avengers swallowing was clearly audible.
"I'm not hallucinating, right?"
"This is real, right?"
Tony Stark couldn't believe it.
"It's real,"
Hawkeye said.
"He forced a starship to retreat… by himself?"
Thor couldn't help blurting out.
That was a starship!
A colossal starship that could travel the cosmos, that could suppress an entire civilization.
Was Thanos strong or not? Was Ronan strong or not?
Didn't they still need starships?
Would they dare face a starship head-on?
But now?
Karl stood there—
used a single spell—
and that starship that had been raging, suppressing Earth, just ran.
Ran!
Just look at the huge blue vector engine exhaust below—you could tell how desperately they wanted to leave.
One man forcing back one starship!
Forget the solar system—anyone in the universe who could do that wasn't anything less than a legendary figure.
Odin. The Sorcerer Supreme. Which one of them wasn't a famous name, so renowned that even the multiverse sang of them?
And Karl?
So young, yet with this kind of power.
What kind of terrifying talent was that?
Thor felt that this 1,500-plus-year-old "baby" of his, on Earth, suddenly seemed a bit out of place.
Thor was still lamenting internally when—
a voice came down from the sky.
"You come when you want, you leave when you want—do you think this place is a public toilet?"
Karl smiled calmly and shot upward.
He stepped through the air as if he were stepping on solid ground.
His whole body became like an arrow, soaring into the sky.
"What is he trying to do?"
A lot of people stared at Karl's movements, utterly confused.
Aren't you a sorcerer? Why are you charging up there?
Where's your magic?
Unfortunately,
Karl was destined not to hear them.
In an instant,
his speed surpassed the speed of sound, and he rocketed straight up into the sky.
Crack!
A thunderous boom sounded in the sky.
Karl's fist slammed directly into the starship's shield.
And then everyone saw—
that supposedly unbreakable massive energy shield—
was cracked open by Karl with a single punch!
And that wasn't the end.
Karl raised his hand.
A golden Magical Shield appeared in his palm.
In the next moment,
that enormous Magical Shield abruptly expanded.
Like a balloon being inflated, in the blink of an eye it swelled to over a hundred meters across.
Karl thrust out his hand.
Rumble!!
A colossal blast erupted.
That massive shield struck once—and sliced the gigantic starship open.
Then the explosion happened.
The sky became a sea of fire.
Everything turned blazing red.
Great flames rolled and churned in the air.
All of New York City was lit up—everyone looked up at the sky.
Everyone was stunned.
What had they just seen?
One person—one hand—one strike—
and a starship was erased.
What kind of terrifying power was this?
Was this even human?
Even for a god, power might be only this much, right?
Those who had fought side by side with Karl were even more shocked.
That Chitauri starship…
was just solved like that?
So easily?
They stared at the sky, feeling unreal.
Down on the ground, Loki was practically on the verge of tears.
Was he sick in the head?
Why did he have to go looking for trouble and provoke an existence like this back then?
If the heavens gave him one more chance, he absolutely would not make the same mistake again.
And that thought—
was not only in Loki's heart.
