Karl was resting with his head on the lap of a voluptuous, mature goddess while another beautiful goddess massaged his shoulders.
Seeing this, even Yan couldn't suppress the anger rising within her.
She, Black Phoenix, and Hela walked directly toward Karl.
Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding Olympian goddesses.
Everyone knew that these three were Karl's main wives.
Naturally, as women competing for Karl's affection, the goddesses' gazes weren't particularly friendly.
"How much longer are you planning to lie there?"
Yan asked coldly.
Karl slowly opened his eyes.
Yan, Black Phoenix, and Hela were staring at him expressionlessly.
Karl waved his hand.
The next moment, all three fell into his arms.
But they had no intention of letting him get away with it so easily and immediately began struggling.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Three crisp slaps sounded.
The three women instantly quieted down.
Karl continued holding them as he leaned back, while his consciousness entered his mental space.
"System, use all sixty accumulated sign-in opportunities at once!"
[Ding! Sixty sign-in opportunities detected.]
[Would the Host like to merge them into six enhanced sign-ins?]
[The quality of the rewards will increase substantially.]
Karl thought for a moment.
Most of the sixty goddesses were only at the Sub-Skyfather level, with relatively few reaching Skyfather level.
Considering Karl had already reached the middle stage of the Single-Universe level, ordinary rewards probably wouldn't help him much.
Six significantly enhanced rewards were clearly better.
"Merge them."
[Ding! Fusion successful.]
[Beginning sign-in...]
[Ding! Sign-in successful!]
[Congratulations, Host. Rewards obtained:]
[Law of Light.]
[Kryptonian Codex of Life.]
[Holy Light Sword.]
[Holy Light Armor.]
[Cosmic Gate.]
[Concept Modification.]
Karl immediately focused on the descriptions.
[Law of Light: A complete Law of Light originating from an unknown divine world. After fusion, the Host will possess absolute control over this Law of Light. It does not conflict with the laws governing light within the Marvel Multiverse. Its effectiveness depends on the Host's own level. No native being of the Marvel Multiverse can seize, suppress, or control this foreign Law of Light. All conceptual abilities derived from this law may be utilized by the Host.]
Karl's eyes narrowed slightly.
That alone was already extremely powerful.
Then he continued.
[Kryptonian Codex of Life: Derived from Krypton's genetic Codex. The original Codex contains the genetic templates used by Kryptonian civilization. After optimization by the System, it has been supplemented with the genetic template of Golden Superman. Successful integration allows the recipient to surpass conventional four-dimensional limitations and grants unrestricted temporal manipulation according to the recipient's strength.]
Karl's breathing paused.
That wasn't simply the ordinary Kryptonian Codex anymore.
The System had completely transformed it.
He immediately looked at the next reward.
[Holy Light Sword: A supreme divine artifact originating from an unknown world. Under the Host's current Marvel power classification, it corresponds to the Super Single-Universe level.]
[The Holy Light Sword can annihilate souls. Wounds caused by the blade cannot regenerate through ordinary means. Even without mastering the Law of Light, its wielder can invoke the laws governing light within the surrounding universe.]
[The stronger its master becomes, the greater the sword's power. When completely unleashed by a sufficiently powerful wielder, it can destroy an entire universe.]
[Requires recognition of a master.]
Then—
[Holy Light Armor: A supreme divine artifact originating from an unknown world. Under the Host's current Marvel power classification, it corresponds to the Super Single-Universe level.]
[It protects the wearer's soul against annihilation, erasure, and similar attacks.]
[When the wearer approaches death, the armor automatically draws upon the surrounding laws of light to restore them.]
[When facing an unavoidable threat, it can forcibly transport its wearer across space-time.]
[Additionally increases the wearer's total combat capability by forty percent.]
[Requires recognition of a master.]
Karl's expression became increasingly excited.
Then came the fifth reward.
[Cosmic Gate: A transcendent portal capable of opening passages throughout the Marvel Multiverse and beyond its cosmological boundaries.]
[If accurate coordinates for another universe or cosmology are provided, the Cosmic Gate can establish a passage directly to that destination.]
[Warning: Use cautiously. Activating the Cosmic Gate beyond the Marvel Multiverse may expose its existence to extremely powerful entities.]
Karl's eyes widened.
This was exactly what he needed.
He could leave the Marvel Multiverse.
More importantly—
If he could obtain the coordinates of Yan's universe, he could finally take her home.
Then Karl examined the final reward.
[Concept Modification: Grants the Host the ability to directly modify concepts, essences, and abstract definitions.]
[Every activation consumes an enormous quantity of energy.]
[Attempting to use this ability while below the required Super Single-Universe level may result in immediate death from energy depletion.]
[This ability is not restricted to the Marvel Multiverse.]
Karl stared silently at the six rewards.
Law.
Genetic evolution.
Two supreme artifacts.
A gateway capable of crossing cosmologies.
And conceptual modification.
Any one of them would have been an excellent reward.
He had obtained all six at once.
Karl couldn't suppress his excitement.
Especially the Cosmic Gate.
It meant he was no longer trapped within Marvel's cosmology.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Yan, Hela, and Black Phoenix were still staring at him.
Without saying anything, Karl kissed each of them.
Then he finally released them and sat upright.
The lap he had been resting on belonged to Rhea—daughter of Gaea and mother of Hera.
Throughout the entire process, Rhea had looked at Karl with unmistakable tenderness and infatuation.
Karl stood.
"They'll be living here from now on."
He looked toward Yan, Black Phoenix, and Hela.
"If the three of you want to move in as well, that's fine."
"But your positions won't change."
"You three will always be among my main wives."
He glanced at the Olympian goddesses.
"They can, at most, be concubines."
Hera immediately stepped forward and helped straighten Karl's slightly disordered clothes.
The moment Hera and Rhea heard Karl officially acknowledge them as his concubines, happiness appeared openly in their eyes.
"Hmph."
Yan gave Karl an annoyed look.
Then she acted immediately.
Her wardrobe and small table from the previous Skyblade VII appeared beside the enormous, luxurious bed at the center of the room.
That was obviously Karl's bed.
Yan's meaning couldn't have been clearer.
She was moving in.
Hela and Black Phoenix exchanged glances.
Their belongings appeared on the opposite sides of Karl's bed almost immediately.
Neither intended to give Yan all the territory around him.
Karl couldn't help smiling.
Then he waved his hand.
All the belongings of the Olympian goddesses within the Shadow World appeared inside the enormous room.
Black Phoenix and Hela froze when they saw the sheer variety of elaborate outfits the goddesses had prepared.
Their faces gradually reddened.
They hadn't expected Karl to live quite so extravagantly inside the Shadow World.
Yan, however, ignored them.
She suddenly flew upward.
Then she opened a concealed door on the right side of the enormous room and entered.
A moment later, her small private garden was transferred inside as well.
Even Karl hadn't realized the new room contained a hidden entrance there.
Seeing Yan calmly claim the space for herself, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
