The warship's long-range support relieved some of the pressure on Yan, Black Phoenix, and Hela.
The Olympian goddesses aboard the flagship were also watching the terrifying battle.
Everyone fighting outside had reached at least the Single-Universe level.
Their eyes shone as they watched Karl in his golden armor.
His handsome appearance combined with the imposing Holy Light Armor deeply stirred them.
At the same time, however, they couldn't suppress their worry.
The enemy outnumbered Karl's group almost ten to one.
Gaea boldly asked Vastness to teleport her outside so she could help Karl.
The elegant divine garments Karl usually admired transformed into a set of white battle armor.
Hera and several other goddesses also wanted to join the battle.
Vastness refused all of them.
Without Karl's permission, none of them could leave the flagship.
More importantly, Vastness bluntly informed them that their current strength wouldn't help Karl.
They would only become a burden.
...
Boom!
On the battlefield, Juggernaut was repeatedly charging a late-stage Single-Universe-level Celestial.
His presence was one of the main reasons Yan, Black Phoenix, and Hela were still holding on.
Most of the Celestials attacking them were around the early or middle stages of the Single-Universe level.
Yan, empowered by the six Infinity Stones Karl had given her, could contend with those at the middle stage.
Without Juggernaut tying down one of the stronger Celestials, the three women would probably have been seriously injured already.
Cain Marko's eyes glowed crimson.
Then—
Boom!
He charged again.
Juggernaut didn't know any complicated techniques.
His fighting style was simple.
Ram into the enemy.
If they were still standing—
ram them again.
His thoughts were equally straightforward.
You dare cause trouble for my boss?
Then I'll crush you.
Karl had taken him away from Earth and shown him countless worlds across the universe.
Cain now owned hundreds of tanks, armored vehicles, and off-road machines built with advanced technology.
Many even incorporated vibranium.
The genetic enhancement Karl had given him had also made him stronger than ever.
Because of that, Cain genuinely respected Karl.
Every day he could build whatever ridiculous war machine he wanted, eat as much good food as he liked, and wander around with Lockjaw whenever he became bored.
Whenever they reached a new planet, he could spend his free time exploring and playing around.
Cain was perfectly satisfied with his current life.
And because he valued it so much—
he wouldn't allow anyone to destroy it.
Nor would he tolerate anyone attacking Karl.
Boom!
Rage filled Juggernaut's mind.
The crimson mystical energy inside his body began condensing rapidly.
His aura suddenly surged.
Middle-stage Single-Universe level!
Then Cain charged forward like a madman.
BOOM!
He slammed directly into the chest of the late-stage Single-Universe Celestial.
The enormous Celestial was actually knocked backward.
A deep indentation matching Juggernaut's body appeared in its armor.
Then something changed.
Cain's eyes turned an even deeper crimson.
He stopped charging.
Instead, he calmly raised one hand.
Whoosh!
A torrent of crimson mystical power erupted from his palm.
The attack was powerful enough to sweep across an entire galaxy.
The Celestial immediately raised its golden weapon and unleashed an attack of equal magnitude.
BOOM!
The two energy attacks collided.
A massive explosion tore through space.
The resulting shock waves spread outward like enormous ripples.
Space around the collision point collapsed into violent turbulence.
The dimensional structure there had already been shattered by the initial impact.
Even Yan, Hela, and Black Phoenix were caught by the aftermath.
Fortunately, none of them were injured.
The energy wave merely sent them flying backward.
Karl, who was still fighting the Super Single-Universe-level Celestial, immediately sensed the disturbance.
The moment he looked toward Juggernaut—
his expression changed.
Something was wrong.
That aura didn't belong to Cain.
Neither did the mental fluctuations surrounding him.
Someone else was controlling Juggernaut's body.
Karl immediately understood.
Cyttorak.
But he had no time to investigate.
The Super Single-Universe Celestial's next attack had already reached him.
Boom!
...
Before the previous shock waves had even faded, Juggernaut attacked again.
Crimson mystical energy erupted violently from his body.
Whoosh!
He appeared directly above the late-stage Single-Universe Celestial's enormous head.
His fist descended.
Dense crimson power wrapped around it.
The Celestial immediately raised its weapon to block.
BOOM!
But the being controlling Cain's body was no longer Cain Marko.
It was the Lord of the Crimson Cosmos—
Cyttorak.
Juggernaut's fist struck the Celestial's weapon.
The tremendous force immediately drove the weapon backward toward its owner's head.
The Celestial raised its other hand to help resist the blow.
Cyttorak hadn't descended in his true form.
Only a fragment of his consciousness was acting through his avatar.
Even so, the power flowing through Juggernaut had risen far beyond Cain's normal level.
A late-stage Single-Universe Celestial couldn't withstand it.
Crack!
The golden weapon shattered.
Juggernaut's crimson fist passed straight through the fragments.
BOOM!
It slammed directly into the Celestial's head.
The instant the punch landed, terrifying crimson mystical energy exploded.
The Celestial's head was blown apart.
Several seconds later—
its enormous body collapsed.
Dead.
The deep crimson glow in Juggernaut's eyes gradually faded.
Cain blinked.
He looked down at the headless Celestial in confusion.
"Uh...?"
He had absolutely no idea what had just happened.
But Cain wasn't the type to waste time thinking about complicated things.
The next second—
Boom!
He charged straight toward the Celestials surrounding Yan, Black Phoenix, and Hela.
The pressure on the three women had continued increasing.
Even with Yan wielding six Infinity Stones, there were simply too many enemies.
If Vastness hadn't been continuously supporting them with long-range fire from the flagship, the three might already have been overwhelmed.
Boom!
Yan, Hela, and Black Phoenix suddenly saw a crimson figure shoot past them.
The Celestials ahead were immediately sent flying.
The one at the very front now had another enormous Juggernaut-shaped dent crushed into its chest.
