"Boss, it's this little guy!"
Khorne, at this moment, rushed ahead of everyone, raising his hand to point at the Blood God, who had first been beaten to a bloody pulp by him and was now hanging like a dead dog from a flagpole, and said, "He seems to know... know what secret?"
He had only spoken halfway when Khorne couldn't remember the rest of the content.
No wonder, after all, he has always only focused on war and honor.
And things that require thinking are somewhat difficult for him.
"Let me speak instead."
Tzeentch pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and then succinctly explained the information they had unexpectedly obtained from the Blood God.
It turned out that a Demon Lord named Lilith was attempting to create widespread panic in the real World through seven Night Demons, including the Blood God.
This was to complete a corresponding sacrificial ritual, forcibly open a Dimensional passage, and release Varna, the "Vampire Progenitor," from a certain Hyperspace Dimension.
But unexpectedly, Lilith's purpose for doing this sounded incredibly melodramatic.
That is, she wanted the "Vampire Progenitor" to retract the conceptual Bug-level Immortality Trait he had once bestowed upon Ghost King Vlad Tepes Dracula, which states, "can be killed, but cannot be eliminated."
This way, Lilith could personally kill Dracula!
However.
Because Ghost King Dracula's whereabouts are extremely secretive on weekdays.
He usually only appears for a few days at the Centennial Conference, held once every hundred years by the Vampire race, so the sacrificial ritual must be precisely completed at that time.
But whether it was because the Blood God's soul essence was incomplete, or if he simply didn't know those core secrets.
Therefore, he knew nothing about why Lilith wanted to kill Dracula herself, the identities of the other 6 Night Demons, the specific location of the sacrificial ritual, or the summoning method.
"So, the demonic soul fragment collected at that time was this Blood God..."
Karl's eyes flashed with understanding, but then his attention was entirely focused on the Immortality Trait.
However, when he tried to search his memory for information related to Vlad Tepes Dracula, he found that he knew nothing about this Ghost King.
But this was completely unavoidable.
After all, Karl's understanding of Marvel characters was no different from that of ordinary people, only staying at the Marvel Cinematic Universe level.
Even if he knew some classic plotlines from the Marvel Comics Universe, it was only limited to some popular videos on certain platforms.
So, naturally, he didn't know much about this "insignificant" Ghost King.
But one thing is certain.
Karl is very interested in this Immortality Trait, which "can be killed, but cannot be eliminated"... Alright, alright, I'm not pretending anymore, I'm greedy, I want it too!
In his opinion, regardless of whether this Immortality Trait can truly achieve the Bug-level extent mentioned by the Blood God.
Just the fact that it makes a Demon Lord willing to risk a direct confrontation with the Sorcerer Supreme and Kamar-Taj to erase it, already indicates it's definitely not simple!
It was fine not knowing this information before.
Now that he knows, he naturally has to figure it out, understand it, and get his hands on it...
What's more, he currently has a ready-made Vampire team that can be used to secretly gather information about Ghost King Dracula.
In addition.
This unexpectedly obtained information also indirectly sounded an early warning bell for Karl.
It made him regain the sense of crisis and urgency he had felt when his Dimensional coordinates were about to be exposed.
More than three months have passed since he transmigrated.
After successfully resolving the issue of exposed Dimensional coordinates, he subconsciously focused all his energy on developing his forces in the real World.
Firstly, because at that time, he had no interest or experience in becoming a Dimensional God, simply treating the Hyperspace as a means of self-preservation.
In addition, with Ancient One and Kamar-Taj protecting Earth, Dimensional God-level powerhouses simply couldn't forcefully sneak in.
So he subconsciously ignored the crises from other Dimensions.
No wonder, as an ordinary person, Karl was not unfamiliar with wars between Dimensional Gods; he simply didn't understand them at all!
This is definitely not "knowledge" that can be filled by reading a few web novels.
And this way of thinking continued until the battle between Frank, Selena, and the Blood God, when it finally changed.
In that battle.
The Blood God kept shouting, "Only a God can kill a God!"
And how human weapons couldn't truly harm his soul essence, even if his body was blown apart, it could quickly recover as before...
These scenes left a profound impression on Karl.
They also made him truly understand the existence of Demons and the true meaning of the phrase "Only a God can kill a God!"
It was precisely because of this.
That after discovering the Four Lackeys, he didn't immediately eliminate these four notorious Lokis.
Instead, he adapted to the situation, taking the opportunity to formulate a brand new "Four Gods Cultivation Plan."
Currently, the information about Lilith and Dracula once again indirectly confirmed the necessity of Karl's upcoming "Dual-Line Development Plan for the Real World and Hyperspace."
Because the enemies are far from only coming from the real World.
Perhaps at some point in the future, he may need to confront these Dimensional Gods directly.
If he doesn't accumulate enough power beforehand, he might only be at their mercy then.
Although Karl had no experience in wars between Dimensional Gods.
Fortunately, over the years, he had learned an important lesson from his workplace.
That is, sometimes, as a qualified boss, you don't necessarily need to understand all professional knowledge.
You just need to know how to use people well and arrange for professionals to do professional things!
There are countless such success stories in China's long history of civilization.
The situation Karl is currently facing can be resolved by utilizing this mindset and method.
Karl can handle matters in the real World himself.
And dealing with Dimensional Lords can be entirely entrusted to the Four Lackeys.
Conspiracy, scheming, war, corruption, omnipresence... Aren't these precisely the areas they are best at?
Furthermore, Karl doesn't need to worry about their loyalty now, so he is willing to give them that trust.
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
Eh?
Why do I suddenly feel like I'm going to become the leader of the Lokis?
However, although Karl will not inquire about the specific operational methods of the Four Lackeys when executing the "Hyperspace Version of the Fun-Seeker Plan."
But to prevent these unrestrained guys from getting into unnecessary conflicts with powerful entities in the early stages of their development, thus becoming targets of public criticism.
Karl felt it was necessary to first educate them about the powerful "Gods" that exist in the Marvel Universe.
After all, currently, including the Emperor, the Five Little Ones' strength is actually "weak" as hell.
Just like five hungry little beasts, they simply cannot reach the pervasive level seen in warhammer 40k.
If the Hyperspace's Dimensional coordinates were exposed due to conflicts with other Dimensions, it would undoubtedly lead to a devastating disaster!
Therefore, before being confident in defeating other Dimensional Lords, "making a fortune quietly" is the most correct choice at present.
After a slight pause.
Karl said in a deep voice, "Since this incident involves other Dimensions, I will take this opportunity to educate you about the powerful Dimensional Lords and 'Gods' that exist in this Universe besides the Hyperspace!"
So Karl briefly narrated the "legends" he knew about:
Hell Lord Mephisto,
Dormammu of the Dark Dimension,
Cyttorak, the Crimson Monarch,
Trinity of Vishanti,
Chthon, the God of Black Magic...
As well as the four great primordial Gods, Eternity, God of Death, Infinity, and Oblivion, whose existence is unknown.
Originally, when they heard about the abilities and deeds of the previous Dimensional Lords, the Four Lackeys and the Emperor were all somewhat nonchalant, as if they didn't take these guys seriously at all.
The "hot-blooded youth" Khorne was even eager to try, clamoring to have a hearty fight with these Dimensional Lords!
But when Karl mentioned the "Four Great Primordial Gods," the "Five Little Ones," including the Emperor, instantly fell silent.
Without a doubt.
If these four primordial Gods, who symbolize the embodiment of the Multiverse, truly exist, they could not only erase the "Five Little Ones" and the Hyperspace Dimension at any time and anywhere.
In the future, they will inevitably become four insurmountable mountains on the "Five Little Ones'" path to "Supreme"!!
Karl was very satisfied with their reaction, and continued calmly:
"Therefore, I hope that before the Hyperspace officially grows strong, you can maintain and implement the policy of 'strategically despising the enemy, but tactically valuing the enemy.'"
"Only in this way can you gain more ample development opportunities and ultimately defeat those powerful enemies, achieving final victory..."
Finally, he did not forget to add:
"Given Khorne's crucial role in the previous 'capture' of the Blood God, as an extra reward... I will grant you his soul to deal with."
With that, without waiting for the five to respond, Karl directly exited the Hyperspace and returned to the real World.
My diligent workers, remember to work hard, we'll see you at the end of next month!
...
"You... what are you going to do?"
When the Blood God, beaten beyond recognition, saw Khorne, who had returned to his dog-headed human form, approaching him, he immediately let out a piercing scream, "Don't come over here!!"
But the next second, he was directly swallowed by Khorne with a "crunch."
"I never thought that the soul essence of this useless creature would contain such pure Dark Energy?"
Khorne's eyes immediately lit up, as if he had discovered a new continent.
Because after successfully absorbing that Dark Energy, he actually felt his "power" significantly increase.
This was much faster and more convenient than slowly absorbing those extreme emotions.
However.
Tzeentch, with a look of disdain, sneered, "What a waste, you idiot... Although it's an incomplete demonic soul fragment, it can still be used to create Greater Demon embryos."
"When the Boss allows us to invade the physical Universe on a large scale, or devour other Dimensions, wouldn't its use be greater than you directly devouring it?"
"Who the hell are you calling an idiot... Hmm? What Dimensional War!"
Khorne, who was about to lose his temper, seemed to suddenly notice the highlight in the other party's words and immediately went over to inquire, forgetting all past grievances:
"What's the deal with the Dimensional War, can you explain it in detail!!"
Even Slaanesh and Nurgle, who were beside them, also showed great interest in this topic.
"It seems my previous guess about why the Boss was unwilling to abandon his physical body in the real World and return to the Hyperspace was completely correct..."
Tzeentch pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses with his index finger, and in the eager anticipation of the others, he said profoundly:
"This World is far more dangerous than we imagined, with many extremely powerful existences. I presume the Boss must have discovered this in advance,
Which is why he risked so much, staying alone in the real World, just to win more development opportunities for the Hyperspace!"
At this point.
Tzeentch seemed to have just finished imagining a painful struggle story about Karl, and sighed helplessly, shaking his head:
"Alas, in the end, it's still because we are too weak, and the Hyperspace's current foundation is not enough to contend with other Dimensions..."
Except for the Emperor, who had already "ascended," the emotions of the other three were fully stirred by these words, becoming intensely volatile.
Slaanesh's eyes were teary: "My Lord, he is truly great!"
Nurgle: "My Lord works so hard, next time I will personally make him a bowl of soup to replenish his body."
Khorne clenched his fists, making cracking sounds, and loudly shouted, "I'll go kill them, so My Lord won't have to worry!"
Tzeentch was very satisfied with this, and immediately changed the subject, "Now, our opportunity has finally arrived. Thanks to My Lord's efforts,
The Dimensional barrier between the real World and the Hyperspace has been torn open. We must firmly seize this opportunity."
"My Lord has completely entrusted the future of the Hyperspace into our hands this time, not only out of trust but also as a test for us..."
"We must never disappoint My Lord's high expectations of us. We must do everything in our power to make the Hyperspace even more prosperous, only then can we..."
Before Tzeentch could finish speaking, Khorne interrupted with a wild howl, "That's right, we must redouble our efforts to defeat all opponents and then push My Lord onto the throne of the strongest God!"
Crude words, but not crude reasoning.
But... Khorne, you scoundrel, interrupting your "leader" like that, are you even polite?
Seeing the three of them "full of drive," a sly glint flashed in Tzeentch's eyes, imperceptible to others.
"That's more like it. Without strong fighting spirit, how can we better assist My Lord!"
"Eternity? Hehe... I really want to see if you can stop my Changes?"
"From now on, the World is destined to become very interesting..."
Perhaps even Karl had not anticipated that the powerful "Gods" of the Marvel Universe would not only fail to intimidate the Four Lackeys but would instead become their strongest motivation for self-transcendence.
