American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

"Little one, tell me, what's your name?"

Gu Yi tried his best to make his tone sound as amiable as possible.

The little boy shrank closer to Lin Jie's legs, biting his lip and remaining silent.

Lin Jie patted the little boy on the shoulder: "Hey, kid, my master is asking you a question. What's your name?"

With Lin Jie's support, the boy mustered his courage and answered softly, "My name is Peter. Peter Jason Quill."

Peter Jason Quill?!

Lin Jie was shocked when he heard the name.

That name sounds so familiar!

Lin Jie suddenly turned to look at Gu Yi: "Master, don't you think this name sounds familiar?"

Gu Yi's face was a little pale, and her voice was somewhat hoarse: "Disciple, have you ever heard of Star-Lord?"

Lin Jie: "..."

What the hell!

No way?!

Lin Jie lowered his head and looked at the snotty little brat behind him again.

Star-Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy?!

From now on, a complete idiot who'll start dancing awkwardly at the drop of a hat?!

This is what she looked like as a child?!

Lin Jie was completely petrified.

At this moment, Gu Yi, standing opposite, was experiencing a storm of emotions.

My apprentice, my apprentice!

You're a living ancestor!

Of all the people to bring back, why did they have to drag Star-Lord back to Kamar-Taj?!

Of course, the Ancient One knew about Star-Lord's background.

This kid's biological father is none other than the Celestial Race from the universe—the living planet Ego!

In his search for an heir capable of inheriting the power of the gods, Ego sowed seeds all over the universe.

Star-Lord is the only test subject who perfectly inherited the divine power.

This is why Ego hired Yondu and his group of space hunters to come to Earth and kidnap people.

The results of it?

Lin Jie went out for a stroll and not only beat up Yondu and his gang, but also snatched away Igor's precious son!

You should know that Ego is no ordinary alien minnow.

He himself is a planet!

He's a cosmic super-powerful being of Godfather level!

If Ego knew that his son, whom he had worked so hard to find, had been held captive by the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, he would definitely drive the entire planet straight into Earth!

Gu Yi closed his eyes and took two deep breaths of cool air.

Dormammu, Odin, Hela, Thanos...

Now we have another planet, Ego, that is a Celestial-level planet!

Gu Yi was at a loss for words.

Disciple, looking across the entire multiverse, is there any big shot you haven't offended?

Are you planning to gather the entire bucket of hatred to summon Shenron?!

Gu Yi rubbed his temples, suppressing the overwhelming shock in his heart.

She looked at Lin Jie, who had an innocent expression, and said in a very serious tone, "Lin Jie, this child must be sent back to his original timeline. Otherwise, his original world will be completely thrown into chaos, and may even split into uncontrollable parallel universes."

It's worth noting that Kamar-Taj has offended far too many powerful figures recently.

The Ancient One didn't want to bring another living planet of the Celestial Father level into Earth's hands.

Upon hearing that he was to be sent away, little Peter panicked.

He clung tightly to Lin Jie's leg, shouting at the top of his lungs, "No! I won't go! I want to stay with this amazing older brother!"

Stark pushed up his sunglasses and joked, "Dude, you went out for a stroll and picked up a die-hard fan along the way?"

Lin Jie looked helpless, glancing down at the pendant on his leg, then turned to Gu Yi: "Master, should I restart the machine now and throw it back?"

Just then, Gu's eyes darted around, as if he was plotting something.

If we send him back, what if Igor has already noticed?

It's safer to keep it in Kamar-Taj and keep it under my watchful eye.

The Ancient One walked up to Peter and looked down at him, asking, "Little one, would you like to learn magic?"

Peter blinked, staring at the Ancient One with a puzzled look, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Gu Yi pointed at Lin Jie with her folding fan: "From now on, he will be your master. He will teach you magic."

Lin Jie was petrified on the spot.

What the heck?

I'll teach Star-Lord magic?

The captain of the Guardians of the Galaxy has become my apprentice?!

"Master, are you kidding me? I've only been learning for a few days myself, how am I supposed to teach an apprentice?"

Gu Yi didn't give him a chance to refute, and casually said while waving her fan, "It's settled then."

After saying that, Gu Yi turned and left with Wang and Mordo, walking very fast, as if afraid that Lin Jie would change his mind.

Lin Jie stared blankly at Stark, who remained in the hall. "Tony, what will happen to the future Star-Lord if I teach him magic?"

Stark crossed his arms and explained, "Don't worry, you brought back someone from the past. In a newly split parallel timeline, Star-Lord disappeared. But in our current world, nothing will change; there's just a smaller version of Star-Lord for no reason."

Lin Jie nodded as if he understood, then patted Peter's head and said, "Alright, kid. From now on, you'll be working for me."

Peter nodded vigorously, his face full of excitement.

......

Time flies. Two weeks later.

Inside the Temple of the Ancient One.

Lin Jie sat cross-legged in front of Gu Yi, having just finished reporting on the progress of the armor's improvements.

"Master, the armor and Tony have been re-optimized and their performance is completely stable. I'm currently accumulating magic power, preparing to find time for the second time travel," Lin Jie reported truthfully.

Gu Yi nodded in satisfaction and casually asked, "How's your cheap apprentice you took on? How's he been doing these past two weeks?"

Lin Jie sighed and shook his head repeatedly: "Don't even mention it. This kid looks clever, but his magical talent seems lacking."

Lack of talent?

Gu Yi was puzzled.

Ego is a Celestial, born with molecular-level creative divine power.

Star-Lord perfectly inherited the power of the gods, how could his talent be lacking?

With just a little guidance from Lin Jie, this divine power should definitely be activated.

Just as I was about to ask more questions, the door to the main hall was suddenly pushed open.

Wang stormed in, panting and furious. He didn't even bother with formalities, pointing at Lin Jie and yelling, "Lin Jie! Did you teach your apprentice to telekinesis?!"

Lin Jie was completely confused: "Yes, I did teach it. The most basic introductory spells, what's wrong?"

Wang was so angry he jumped up and down: "What happened?! Do you know how outrageous your apprentice was! He stole most of the magic books from the library while I wasn't looking!"

Lin Jie's lips twitched.

He had indeed casually instructed Peter to read more books to improve his theoretical knowledge.

But this kid can't get into the library, yet he manages to order goods remotely?

However, Lin Jie's eyes darted around, and he immediately grasped the key point, looking at Wang with a half-smile: "Senior Brother Wang, you're a dignified Grand Mage, and you didn't even notice half of your library being emptied. Were you up all night playing games on WiFi again last night?"

Old Wang's face flushed instantly, his sore spot touched. He quickly changed the subject: "The point isn't me! The point is your apprentice is utterly lawless! He must be severely punished!"

Before he could finish speaking, Mordo rushed into the main hall.

"Master! Quick, go to the plaza! Star-Lord has caused a huge disaster!"

Modu was covered in sweat, and his voice was trembling.

Did you cause trouble?

Gu Yi and Lin Jie exchanged a glance, and at the same time, an ominous premonition rose in their hearts.

The group quickly followed Mordo to the mage square outside.

Little Peter was kneeling stubbornly in the center of the square, wearing a wizard's robe that was clearly a size too big.

Upon seeing Lin Jie approaching, he clung to him like a lifeline, leaping up and clinging tightly to Lin Jie's leg, hiding behind him and refusing to show his face.

Modu, his face dark, pointed to the center of the square and roared at Lin Jie, "Look at the good disciple you've trained! This kid was just practicing telekinesis, and look what he's stolen!"

Lin Jie followed Mo Du's finger and gasped in shock.

In the very center of the square, a huge and extravagantly shaped stone throne floats silently.

The throne exudes a cold and terrifying aura of cosmic dominance.

Lin Jie's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

This... isn't this Thanos's personal floating throne, the one reserved for the head of the cosmic family planning commission?!
