"The haul was pretty good. A little over two months-not bad."
Karn had been gone for quite some time. His business empire was growing ever larger, now encompassing a Biological Research Center, a biopharmaceutical company, the Umbrella Military Security Company, and a newly registered energy company.
In the future, he could leave a shadow clone in the Marvel Universe. Provided it did not fight, and he sealed away some extra chakra with Sealing Jutsu, it should be able to last for over a month.
There was also the basilisk. After unsealing the frozen basilisk, he told it, "You'll live in the waters around here from now on. I'll drop off food for you regularly. Remember, don't let anyone discover your existence."
During his second half-year at Hogwarts, Karn had also applied a Senjutsu Chakra Cursed Seal to the basilisk. After half a year of development, the bond between him and the basilisk had grown closer, and he could also sense its thoughts.
By now, Karn essentially held the basilisk's life and death in his hands. After adapting to senjutsu chakra, its body, already dozens of meters long, had begun growing again. Karn did not know its current growth limit, but fortunately, there was a stretch of coastal waters here where he could hide it.
His greatest gains this time were a series of spells, including the Flying Charm, the Imperius Curse, and Transfiguration. These spells placed him above ordinary people. As long as he was a little careful around supernatural powers such as Kamar-Taj, Karn could develop safely for ten years.
After ten years, Karn would definitely be able to build an incredibly powerful army through biotechnology and mechanical technology. He might even be able to elevate Earth's civilization into the universe's fourth great empire.
That was Karn's ambition, but
