American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

On the stone-paved path of Kamar-Taj, Lin Jie pondered Ultron as he walked towards the Ancient One's temple.

He was completely unaware that the giant snake following behind him was staring intently at his back with eyes that looked like it wanted to devour him.

"How can we kill this kid?"

Thanos frantically calculated in his mind.

Just thinking about how he, the mighty ruler of the universe, was first turned into a snake-like face, and now he has degenerated into a snake, and it will take at least a week or two to turn back, makes Thanos furious.

We cannot let ourselves be humiliated like this!

Once we find the right opportunity, we'll bite him and kill him, then steal the Infinite Stones and run!

Thanos grew angrier the more he thought about it, and the murderous intent in his eyes couldn't help but show.

Just then, Lin Jie, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around.

That turn of the head almost made Thanos's snake gall bladder burst.

"Hey, Orochi, something's off about your eyes. Who upset you?"

Lin Jie stopped and stared at Thanos suspiciously.

Thanos's heart pounded wildly.

Remembering Lin Jie's earlier threat to skin unruly snakes and put them in a hot pot, he was so frightened that he quickly suppressed his murderous intent.

To save his life, Thanos forcibly twisted his thick snake body, slammed his large head to the ground, and forced out a weak sound from his throat:

"Ee... Ee-ya~"

That voice sent chills down your spine; it was exactly like someone throwing a tantrum!

Lin Jie rubbed the goosebumps on his arms with disgust, rolled his eyes, and said, "I'm telling you, you're a giant python seven or eight meters long and as thick as a bucket, why do you always act like a little girl and act cute? That's so effeminate!"

After saying that, Lin Jie ignored it and turned to step into the temple.

Thanos stood frozen in place.

mother? !

I've killed more people than you've ever seen! How dare you talk about my mother?!

Thanos was so angry that his scales were trembling.

He swore to the heavens in his heart that once his strength was restored, the first thing he would do was to cut Lin Jie into pieces!

Suppressing his rage, Thanos humiliatingly crawled into the hall.

Inside the main hall, Gu Yi was sitting cross-legged on a futon, resting with his eyes closed.

Lin Jie stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Master."

The Ancient One didn't open her eyes, but simply nodded slightly, her words hitting the nail on the head: "You're here about Ultron, aren't you?"

"Yes." Lin Jie sat down opposite him.

"Sokovia," the Ancient One uttered a place name.

Lin Jie was taken aback: "Master, where is this place?"

"Ultron is currently hiding in Sokovia," the Ancient One said calmly.

The meaning is quite clear: Gu Yi intends to have Lin Jie get involved in this matter.

Kamar-Taj certainly has no obligation to clean up Stark's mess, but the mages can't just stand by and watch Ultron destroy the world.

It's a good thing to let Lin Jie gain some experience.

"Master, Ultron is a top-tier artificial intelligence without a physical form. Do you know how to completely destroy it?" Lin Jie asked the question he was most concerned about.

The Ancient One shook the small fan in her hand: "The one who tied the knot must untie it. Go ask Stark, he should have a solution."

After saying that, Gu Yi didn't waste any more words and made a single gesture in the air.

hum!

A portal flashing with yellow sparks appeared out of thin air and instantly swallowed Lin Jie and Thanos on the ground.

The next second, space shifts.

Lin Jie found himself in a spacious but cluttered conference room.

In the middle was a long table, piled high with messy old newspapers and paper documents.

Several people sat around the table, all looking worried.

Lin Jie glanced over and saw familiar faces: Stark, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Nick Fury, an eyepatch-wearing black-clad guy.

Lin Jie's sudden appearance startled everyone in the conference room.

Everyone stared blankly at Lin Jie at first, and then their gazes all turned to what was behind Lin Jie.

After seeing the enormous, purple-and-white python with its forked tongue, the Avengers finally realized what was happening.

Whoosh!

Black Widow instantly drew her pistol, Captain America grabbed his shield, and Hawkeye drew his bow and arrow, aiming the arrows intently at Lin Jie and Thanos.

The atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.

"Hey guys, put your weapons down!" Stark jumped up from his chair, stood in front of Lin Jie, and yelled at his teammates, "Is this how you treat your savior?"

"His savior?" Hawkeye frowned, sizing Lin Jie up. "Him? A kid who looks like he's not even an adult yet?"

"Don't judge a book by its cover, he's a sorcerer from Kamar-Taj!" Stark retorted loudly.

Nick Fury remained seated, still flipping through the old newspaper in his hand, and coldly said, "Saving the world with magicians? Stark, when did you start believing in magic?"

Upon hearing this, Stark's temper flared up: "Isn't that better than you bunch of super agents who can only hide in buildings reading old newspapers when the internet goes down?"

That hit a nerve. Ultron cut off the global network, rendering all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s high-tech equipment useless, and now even the most basic intelligence transmission has to be done by human errands.

Nick Fury put down his newspaper, his remaining eye fixed on Lin Jie. He knew of Kamar-Taj's existence and that these mages were not to be trifled with. With a formidable enemy at hand, having more allies was never a bad thing.

"I apologize for my earlier offense," Nick Fury said, his tone softening slightly. "However, pets are not allowed in the S.H.I.E.L.D. building. Especially not a snake this big."

"It's okay, I don't care." Lin Jie casually pulled up a chair and sat down, completely ignoring the weapons around him.

Lin Jie didn't care, but Thanos on the ground was furious.

hiss--!

Upon hearing the word "pet," Thanos raised his snake head high, hissing and flicking his tongue wildly at Nick Fury, emitting a highly threatening hiss.

Your whole family are the pets! A bunch of earth ants! Once I regain my strength, I'll crush you all!

Thanos cursed wildly in his mind.

This sound startled the Avengers.

Everyone thought the snake was protecting its owner because the owner had been wronged!

A monk dressed in strange robes was accompanied by a ferocious-looking giant snake. Lin Jie's image in everyone's eyes instantly rose, becoming unfathomable.

"Stark, aren't you going to introduce him to everyone?" Nick Fury asked.

"His name is Lin Jie," Black Widow suddenly said.

"Ms. Natasha, it's been a long time," Lin Jie greeted her with a smile.

Black Widow gripped the gun tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning white from the effort.

haven't seen you for a long time?

The thought of the bizarre "blessing box" Lin Jie gave her when she left Kamar-Taj almost cost her her life makes Black Widow want to shoot that kid dead!

Nick Fury, sensing Black Widow's unusual mood, quickly steered the conversation back on track: "Alright, enough of the reminiscing. Our biggest problem right now is Ultron. My mage friend, what are your thoughts?"

"You guys talk first, I want to hear what's going on," Lin Jie said, leaning back in his chair.

Nick Fury turned to Stark: "In that case, Stark, explain to everyone why you created this world-destroying monster."

Stark slumped back into his chair, covering his face in anguish with his hands.

"I really just wanted to build a defense system to protect Earth," Stark said hoarsely. "But I never expected that Ultron, after reading human history, would develop an independent consciousness. It felt that humanity was a scourge on Earth and had to be completely eradicated. It even... killed Jarvis."

Stark's eyes welled up with tears when Jarvis was mentioned.

"There's no point in talking about this now," Captain America stepped forward, his expression grave. "The most troublesome thing about Ultron is that it exists within the network. It can replicate itself infinitely, controlling countless robotic bodies. Even if you destroy a thousand of its bodies, as long as the network remains, it won't die!"

“That’s right,” Black Widow chimed in. “The whole of the United States is in chaos now, with Ultron-controlled machines everywhere. As long as there’s internet, it’s omnipresent.”

Everyone fell silent. Faced with a cyber ghost without a physical form, the Avengers felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

Just as the conference room fell into dead silence.

Lin Jie yawned, sat up straight, looked at the group of overwhelmed superheroes, and casually uttered a sentence.

"Since it relies on the internet to survive, why don't you just unplug its network cable?"
