As the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj, Karl understood these Master Sorcerers far too well.
Especially Druul.
Despite his burly, intimidating build, which made him look like a fierce warrior, he was actually extremely cautious.
Faced with someone like Karl, whose origins were unknown, there was no way he would take action himself.
Calling in backup without another word—that was his habit.
Sure enough, even though Druul looked perfectly obedient, Karl's intuition still told him something was off.
"Druul, this is not how you usually act."
"It seems the battle in Hell back then really did leave a deep impression on you."
Karl shook his head.
Druul was this cautious for a reason.
It was not because he feared death.
He was simply afraid of harming the sorcerers.
Back then in Hell, because of his impulsiveness, an entire squad had been wiped out.
He had remembered that for his entire life.
That was why, in every battle since then, he would call for reinforcements first.
Karl knew about this because the Ancient One had told him.
However, this matter was extremely secret.
When Druul heard those words, his expression changed drastically.
"How do you know that?"
He shouted.
To him, this was an extremely private matter. Not many people knew about it.
How did this mysterious man in front of him know?
"Who exactly are you?"
"Relax. I'm not a bad person."
"Have the Ancient One or Strange come out."
"They should be at Kamar-Taj, right?"
Karl spoke calmly.
Druul was even more shocked.
Kamar-Taj was an extremely hidden force on Earth, and the identity of the Sorcerer Supreme was not something ordinary people would know.
Why did he feel as though this young man in front of him knew Kamar-Taj inside and out?
That feeling was as if this man were also a sorcerer of Kamar-Taj.
But he could confirm that this man was absolutely not a Kamar-Taj sorcerer.
What exactly was going on?
Druul was a little lost.
Fortunately, he did not stay confused for long.
The reinforcements he had called arrived.
A golden light flashed in the sky.
A golden portal appeared.
The Cloak of Levitation, bright red, carried Strange down from the sky.
Karl could sense it.
However, compared with the Strange from his own universe, the Strange in front of him clearly possessed greater authority and seemed much more mature.
Even his power was slightly stronger than the Strange from Karl's universe.
According to Karl's senses, the Main Universe's Strange should be at the Single-Universe level.
Karl could tell that there was still a gap between their levels of power, but for someone of Strange's age, this was already very impressive.
Strange's temples were streaked with white. He looked far more weathered than Karl, who appeared to be only in his twenties.
If the two of them stood together, no one would think Karl was the Sorcerer Supreme.
"Strange, so you really are the one serving as Sorcerer Supreme now."
Karl spoke in an extremely familiar tone.
"Who are you, sir?"
Strange's eyes were filled with vigilance.
However, compared with Druul, his insight was much sharper.
In his eyes, Karl's body did not have the slightest trace of energy fluctuations.
But how could an ordinary person enter the sanctum of Kamar-Taj like this?
That was absolutely abnormal.
For him to enter Kamar-Taj, he had to possess some extraordinary background or means.
That could only prove one thing.
The man in front of him was far stronger than he was.
He absolutely had to be careful.
Seeing Strange so cautious, Karl smiled freely.
On the surface, they all shared the same origin, looked identical, and were the same individual across parallel universes.
But in reality, because of their different experiences, they had already become completely different people.
Karl sighed and said,
"As you can see, I am also a Sorcerer Supreme."
He waved his hand.
Kamar-Taj's signature Tao Mandalas appeared in front of him.
However, what Karl did not expect was that Strange would be greatly shocked upon hearing his words.
"You're Karl?"
"The Karl who killed Celestials? The Sorcerer Supreme from another world?"
"Hm?"
"You've heard of me?"
Karl asked.
"Yes, I've heard of you."
Strange was a little vague.
In reality, Karl's name was extremely famous in the Main Universe.
After all, he was the reckless fool who dared to kill Celestials.
Most powerful beings were watching like spectators, waiting to see when Karl would be killed by the Celestials.
Strange had thought the same.
Yet Karl not only had not died, he had come to the Main Universe alive and well.
This was a terrifyingly bold man.
Fortunately, Strange did not need to worry about him.
Karl belonged to the side of order and was also the Sorcerer Supreme of another universe, so naturally, he would not pose a threat to him.
Otherwise, Strange would have had a real headache.
"Karl, sorry. This was our misunderstanding."
"Please follow me."
Strange descended from the sky and made an inviting gesture.
Karl immediately walked over.
Right now, he was very curious.
How did Strange know his name?
He did not seem to have visited the Multiverse before.
Logically speaking, Strange should not have heard his name at all.
Following Strange, Karl went straight into the reception room.
"Karl, why have you come to the Main Universe?"
"Traveling between universes shouldn't be that easy, right?"
Strange poured Karl a cup of tea and asked curiously.
"Not easy?"
"I didn't feel that way. It was quite easy."
"The scenery of the Multiverse is quite good."
Karl said with a smile.
Hearing this, then looking at Karl's relaxed expression, Strange nearly choked.
Quite easy?
What kind of joke was that?
Traveling between universes was extremely dangerous.
Forget traveling between universes. Even traveling through outer space was not that easy.
Traveling between universes was even more difficult.
Beyond the universe, danger was everywhere.
At their level, going outside the universe to travel could get them killed at any moment.
If they encountered the dangers of the Multiverse, even powerful multiversal beings could fall instantly.
How could it possibly be easy?
As expected of someone who had directly slain members of the Celestials.
He was indeed formidable.
"Ahem. You're right."
"But why exactly did you come to the Main Universe?"
"Aren't you worried that the balance of your universe might be broken?"
Strange asked curiously.
The Main Universe was very stable.
Generally speaking, no major problems would occur here.
But parallel universes were not necessarily the same.
By coming to the Main Universe like this, was Karl not afraid that his own universe would run into major problems?
Strange was extremely curious about this.
