American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

The old saying "old ginger is spicier" is absolutely true.

The Ancient One originally couldn't be bothered with Thanos's mess.

But since Lin Jie has already offended this purple sweet potato spirit, he might as well play along to the end.

Anyway, for Lin Jie, using alchemy to hand-rub raw stones is as simple as playing with mud, and the cost is almost zero.

"Master, I understand." Lin Jie chuckled, shoveling all the counterfeit raw stones on the table back into his pocket. "I'll make a few more sets later, and I'll wander around the universe whenever I have time. I guarantee Thanos will have plenty to go around with!"

The two exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

Meanwhile, in the distant interstellar space, aboard Thanos's personal warship, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Ebony Maw knelt on the ground, his forehead pressed against the cold metal floor, barely daring to breathe.

Not far in front of him, Thanos was holding a reflective metal plate, staring intently at his own pale, snake-like face in the mirror for more than half an hour.

"Father..." Ebony Maw couldn't stand the deathly silence any longer and cautiously spoke up to remind him.

The voice just fell.

"Bang!"

Thanos suddenly raised his arm and slammed the metal plate in his hand onto the ground, creating a deep crater.

"Ebony Maw!" Thanos roared, his voice filled with rage. "You always call yourself the Archmage! What happened to my face?! You better find a way to change it back right now!"

Thanos is going crazy.

If word gets out that he looks like a sissy, where will he put his face as the cosmic overlord? Who will still listen to his orders? In the future, when he goes to war, people will probably laugh instead of cry with fear!

"Father, please calm down!" Ebony Maw trembled with fear. "I... I can't change anything. To restore your original majestic appearance, you would need reality-altering magic. My magical skills... are not up to that level yet."

Upon hearing the words "modify reality," Ebony Maw suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Yes! Change reality!

During the meeting just now, he clearly felt a huge and strange magical energy sweep across the warship, and then his father's face changed!

After the energy disappeared, Gu Yi and Lin Jie appeared inside the warship!

"Father! I understand!"

Ebony Maw, as if grasping at a straw, jerked his head up. "It was the Ancient One! It must have been Kamar-Taj!"

"I just sensed a powerful magical fluctuation, and then your face changed. Then the Ancient One and the others appeared! This is definitely related to them!"

Ebony Throat made a firm decision.

Although he wasn't 100% loyal to Thanos, this analysis is indeed reasonable.

Thanos was stunned for a moment.

Ancient One?

"Ancient One!" Thanos gritted his teeth as he uttered the name, his fists clenching so tightly they cracked.

As he became emotional, his already pointed chin appeared even longer, resembling a cone.

"You lot, listen to my command!" Thanos turned and pointed at the Black Order, "Assemble the fleet immediately and march to Earth! Go to Kamar-Taj and bring back the Ancient One!"

Thanos used to be wary of the Ancient One and dared not easily touch Earth. But now that he's become this wretched state, what's there to be afraid of! He'll just fight to the death!

But when Ebony Maw heard that he was going to Kamar-Taj, he immediately had second thoughts.

He's a sorcerer, he knows all too well the terror of the Sorcerer Supreme. Going to Earth to fight the Ancient One? What's the difference between that and suicide!

"Father, please reconsider!" Ebony Maw quickly crawled forward two steps. "Actually... we don't necessarily have to find the Ancient One. If we can find the legendary Reality Stone, we can restore your face!"

In order to save his life, Ebony Maw quickly came up with a backup plan.

Thanos frowned, his face full of impatience: "What kind of lousy idea is this?! There's only one Reality Stone in the entire universe, do you even know where it is? Looking for the Reality Stone is less efficient than just going to Earth and killing the Ancient One!"

Reality Gems are incredibly precious; countless people have searched for them for thousands of years without ever finding a trace. Where can we find them now?

Just as Thanos was about to explode in anger, Corvus Glaive, who had been standing by like a wooden statue, suddenly spoke up in a muffled voice.

"What color do you think the Reality Stone is?"

This unexpected question caught everyone off guard.

Ebony Maw was somewhat puzzled, but still answered, "Red."

Corvus Glaive pressed further, "Is it a red, glowing, and somewhat transparent stone?"

"Yes, that's what the book says." Ebony Throat nodded.

Upon hearing the confirmation, Corvus Glaive remained silent and strode towards the spot where the Ancient One and Lin Jie had just stood.

Under the questioning gazes of the group, General Corvus Glaive bent down and picked something up from the ground.

He turned around and held up what he was holding in front of everyone.

"Take a look, is this the one?"

A translucent stone, shimmering with a dazzling red light, lay quietly in General Corvus Glaive's rough palm.

This red light exudes a mysterious energy that cannot be ignored.

Ebony Throat: "..."

Thanos: "..."

Black dwarf, supergiant: "..."

The entire central conference cabin fell into a deathly silence once again.

Ebony Throat rubbed his eyes hard.

Thanos's snake-like face also became distorted due to extreme shock.

The Reality Gem, what the hell!

Just now I was complaining that there's only one of these in the entire universe, and it's incredibly difficult to obtain.

How did I end up finding one on the floor of my own spaceship all of a sudden?!

Are you kidding me?!

Has the Reality Stone become so common that nobody would want it if it were just dropped on the floor?!

Thanos turned his head with difficulty to look at Ebony Maw: "This...this thing, is it real?"
