American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

Gu Yi and Lin Jie exchanged a glance and decided to get to work immediately.

Hearing the two people behind him discussing going around to the front to watch the show, Thanos, who had been facing away from them, froze instantly.

Deceiving too much!

Aren't these two, master and apprentice, going too far?!

It's one thing for you to discuss my appearance to my face, but now you want to come as a group to laugh at me?

Do you really think I don't exist?

As the supreme ruler of the universe, don't I have any pride?

Thanos's anger surged, and he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

But he stubbornly refused to turn around.

He knew how effeminate his current snake-like face looked; if he turned around, these two earthlings would definitely laugh him to death.

"cough!"

Thanos coughed heavily, forcibly masking his embarrassment. Still with his back to the two, he said in a cold voice, "Ancient One, this is my personal warship. You and your disciple have barged in recklessly; are you trying to start a war between our two realms?"

These words were highly threatening.

But the Ancient One didn't buy into that at all.

She gently waved the small fan in her hand, staring at Thanos's broad back, and deliberately spoke loudly, "What did you say? I can't hear you very well. Why don't you turn around and speak louder? In Kamar-Taj, it's very impolite to turn your back to a guest."

Thanos: "..."

Am I supposed to turn around so you can see me blushing?!

Gu Yi, you old fox, you just want to see me make a fool of myself!

Thanos was so angry that his blood pressure soared, and he clenched his fists tightly.

But he stubbornly refused to turn around.

"You lot, please escort the Ancient One out!"

Thanos roared and immediately ordered the Black Order to leave.

Even though Thanos was furious and wanted to vent his anger, he had to hold it in.

Because his pale, pointed chin is now too unsightly to be seen in public.

Upon hearing the order, the Black Order reluctantly turned around to face the Ancient One and gestured for her to proceed.

They dared not lay a hand on Gu Yi and could only watch helplessly.

Seeing that Thanos refused to turn around, Gu Yi and Lin Jie also lost interest.

"Since the master doesn't welcome us, disciple, let's go." Gu Yi closed his folding fan.

"Yes, Master," Lin Jie replied.

The two turned and stepped into the portal, leaving Thanos's warship directly.

……

In the vast universe.

The two hadn't flown far when the Ancient One suddenly stopped, turned to Lin Jie, and asked, "Disciple, tell me the truth. Is Thanos's current state related to your reckless use of Hoggs' ancient body?"

Lin Jie scratched his head and chuckled dryly, "It seems... there's some connection."

Just after unleashing his skill, the energy beam swept across this star field, and Thanos was definitely hit.

"Master, I really think I did it."

Lin Jie nodded with absolute certainty.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi's expression changed slightly.

"Hurry up!"

Without saying a word, Gu Yi grabbed Lin Jie and ran towards Earth at top speed.

Return to the Ancient One's shrine in Kamar-Taj.

Lin Jie asked, completely bewildered, "Master, even if we did it, we wouldn't have run away this fast, would we? Thanos doesn't understand magic, he definitely wouldn't guess that it was us who did it."

Ancient One shook her head, walked to the tea table and poured herself a glass of water: "Thanos does not understand magic. But Ebony Maw, one of his subordinates, is a sorcerer. Ebony Maw was just stunned by Thanos's face. Once he comes to his senses and thinks about it carefully, he will definitely realize that something is wrong."

"When you released Hoggus's Ancient Body, the energy fluctuations were too strong. Ebony Maw could definitely trace it back to us."

After listening, Lin Jie suddenly understood: "So that's how it is. Master is so thoughtful."

Gu Yi took a sip of chrysanthemum tea and sighed silently in her heart.

I was originally planning to take Lin Jie to space today to test his skills, but I made sure to go far away, just in case the kid accidentally destroyed Asgard.

I've got the learning progress all figured out, but why does this kid's magic always seem to be a total rip-off?

But then she thought about it again and felt better.

Thanos was ambitious and always had his sights set on invading Earth.

Lin Jie's reckless actions might disgust Thanos to the point of near death, making him hesitant to act rashly for a while.

Besides, it's better to mess with Thanos than to mess with Odin.

Odin was getting old, and his body couldn't withstand the strain.

If Lin Jie angered Odin a few more times, Gu Yi was really afraid that Odin would suddenly have a heart attack and die on the way.

In contrast, the purple sweet potato spirit is young and strong, and can easily scam people.

Thinking of this, Gu Yi felt much better.

She put down her teacup and looked at Lin Jie: "By the way, about the task I asked you to do before—to use alchemy to fuse your own magic power and create the Infinity Stones—how's the progress?"

Lin Jie's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, Master, I haven't forgotten about it at all, and everything is progressing very smoothly!"

As he spoke, Lin Jie reached into the large pocket of his monk's robe.

"Splash!"

He dumped a handful of Reality Stones, shimmering with a dazzling red light, onto the tea table like pouring beans.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Jie reached into another pocket.

"Splash!"

A large pile of Time Stones, glowing with an eerie green light, rolled out.

That's not all. Lin Jie flicked his sleeve.

"Splash!"

A large pile of space stones radiating a deep blue glow—knock-off Cosmic Cubes—was once again stacked on the table.

Lin Jie clapped his hands, looked at the colorful stones piled up like a small mountain on the table, and said with satisfaction, "Master, they're all here. It's just that the Infinity Gauntlet's structure is a bit complicated, and I haven't had time to forge it yet."

Gu Yi: "..."

The Ancient One was completely dumbfounded when she saw the fifty or sixty "Infinity Stones" in front of her.

She couldn't help but rub her eyes.

My apprentice, isn't your personality a little too honest?

I told you to make a couple more as backup for self-defense.

I didn't ask you to open an arms factory and start mass production!

With so many colorful stones piled together, even the Ancient One herself felt dizzy, unable to distinguish these things from the real ones.

After a long silence, Gu Yi rubbed her temples, looking a bit annoyed, and asked hesitantly, "Disciple, isn't creating so much... a bit too much?"

"A lot?" Lin Jie scratched his head, reached into the pile of stones and started rummaging through them, muttering to himself as he began to count.

After counting for a while, Lin Jie suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.

"Huh?" Lin Jie asked, somewhat puzzled. "Master, I originally made forty-eight in total. How come I'm missing one when I count them now?"

"Missing?" Gu Yi was taken aback. "Which one is missing?"

Lin Jie rummaged through the pile of red stones for a moment and said with certainty, "One red Reality Stone is missing. I guess... it accidentally fell out of my pocket when I was watching the show on Thanos's ship."

Did it land on Thanos's warship?

Gu Yi was taken aback when he heard this.

Then, looking at the counterfeit raw stones on the table, all bound with Lin Jie's exclusive magic and unusable by outsiders, her tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed.

Not only was she not angry, but the Ancient One even revealed a meaningful smile.

"It's alright, disciple," Ancient One said slowly, waving her small fan. "You can drop a few more."

Lin Jie was taken aback: "A few more?!"

What kind of operation is this?

The Ancient One smiled and explained, "What I mean is, you can find an opportunity to throw a few different colored Infinity Stones at Thanos in the future. If he picks them up like they're precious treasures, it will be a great thing for us."

"Of course, if you were to throw the matching Infinity Gauntlet over as well, Master would be more than happy to oblige."

Did they deliberately throw away fake rough stones?

They're even including fake gloves?!

Lin Jie froze on the spot, his mind racing.

He instantly conjured a scene in his mind: Thanos, after countless hardships, finally collected a set of Infinity Stones and the gauntlet. He excitedly put it on, ready to wipe out half the universe's population. But when he clenched his fist, he found that the gauntlet not only didn't react, but not even a spark appeared…

That scene was enough to drive anyone crazy!

Lin Jie's eyes lit up immediately.

"Master!" Lin Jie gave a thumbs up, looking at Gu Yi with admiration. "Your move... was truly brilliant!"
