American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

Thanos hid behind the chair, his thick tail tightly coiled around Hawkeye's high-explosive arrow.

He originally intended to shoot the arrow with his bow. But after a few tries, he realized that being a snake was not an easy task.

Without hands or feet, relying solely on its tail and mouth, trying to draw the compound bow to its full extent and aim at the back of Lin Jie's head is practically impossible.

Not only was the accuracy ridiculously bad, but the sound of the bowstring being taut was also very obvious.

"Why bother? This kid's sitting just a meter in front of me, I can just stab him in the head with an arrow!"

Thanos steeled his resolve, decisively tossing the bow onto the carpet. The tip of his tail, curled with a sharp arrowhead, moved silently toward the back of Lin Jie's head like a venomous snake hunting its prey.

As long as it punctures the skin even slightly, the high-explosive device built into the arrow will instantly trigger, blowing the kid's head into a mushy mess!

Five decimeters... three decimeters... one decimeter...

The arrow was about to touch Lin Jie's hair.

Just then, Lin Jie suddenly stood up from his chair without warning!

This sudden action nearly scared Thanos out of his wits.

He quickly pulled his tail back, and his massive snake body coiled up, concealing the high-explosive arrow tightly under his belly.

Lin Jie was completely unaware of the murderous intent lurking behind him.

He stood up, brushed the wrinkles off his clothes, and looked at Nick Fury and the others who were still arguing across the conference table, his tone revealing impatience.

"Alright, it seems we won't get anywhere today. You guys can continue your tea party here, I have to go back to Kamar-Taj." Lin Jie waved his hand, preparing to leave.

Upon hearing this, Stark also stood up.

"Lin Jie, ignore these old fogies. Our plan doesn't need their approval; it's just the two of us doing it alone."

As Stark spoke, he glared at Hawkeye and Captain America.

Nick Fury narrowed his one eye and slammed his fist on the table: "Stark! Do you know what you're saying? You're planning to bypass the authorities and create a geomagnetic storm on your own? This will paralyze the entire communications and power systems of the United States! This is illegal! You'll kill countless civilians!"

Nick Fury's voice carried an irresistible pressure.

As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he absolutely would not allow anyone to escape his control and carry out such a crazy plan.

"Law?" Stark scoffed. "Director, wait until Ultron drops a nuclear bomb on your head before you talk to it about the law! Do you have a better way? If not, shut up!"

Nick Fury fell silent. He truly had no better solution.

But he couldn't just stand by and watch Stark place his bets on a young mage of unknown origin.

"Stark, calm down." Nick Fury took a deep breath and dropped a bombshell: "According to my informant at the Oslo network center, Ultron is currently attempting to crack the launch codes for global nuclear missiles. Although the codes are constantly changing automatically, given its processing speed, cracking them is only a matter of time."

“We really don’t have time.” Nick Fury stared intently into Stark’s eyes. “But that’s precisely why we can’t afford to make a single wrong move. Are you really sure you want to entrust the fate of all humanity to this sorcerer whose background you don’t even know?”

Stark turned to look at Lin Jie and said without hesitation, "I believe him one hundred percent."

The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly plummeted to freezing point, with both sides at an impasse.

Behind them, Thanos saw that Lin Jie's attention was entirely focused on the front and felt that another golden opportunity had arrived!

He quietly pulled out the high-explosive arrow from under his belly again, raised his tail high, and aimed it at Lin Jie's back.

Die!

Thanos roared furiously in his mind, and spurred his tail forward.

At this critical moment, Hawkeye, who was not far away, suddenly touched the empty table and exclaimed in surprise:

"Damn it! Where's my bow?!"

This sudden shout shattered the silence of the conference room.

Lin Jie turned around instinctively.

Turning around, he made eye contact with Thanos, who was holding an arrow and preparing to launch a sneak attack.

A man and a snake, their eyes locked.

Lin Jie was stunned.

Thanos was dumbfounded.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

"Great Serpent, what are you doing? That coiled on your tail... is that Hawkeye's arrow?"

Lin Jie looked at Thanos with a puzzled expression, not even considering the possibility of assassination. He simply thought the snake was being mischievous.

When Lin Jie stared at him like that, Thanos instantly felt guilty.

He shook his head frantically, his tail suddenly tucked behind him, trying to hide his "weapon".

However, due to his overly forceful movements and his severe lack of experience as a snake, Thanos accidentally used too much force when retracting his tail.

puff!

The sharp arrowhead pierced solidly into his own thick snake tail!

Thanos froze.

A piercing pain instantly spread throughout my body.

But that's not the worst part.

The next second, a rapid and crisp electronic sound suddenly rang out in the quiet conference room.

Beep... beep beep... beep beep beep beep!

The sound was coming from the arrow on Thanos's tail.

Hawkeye's expression changed drastically, and he yelled frantically at the top of his lungs, "Oh no! The high-explosive arrow has been triggered! Get down!!!"

Thanos stared at the red arrow flashing on his tail, only two words remaining in his mind.

What the hell!

Boom! ...

A deafening explosion suddenly rang out.

The blinding flames and thick smoke instantly engulfed Thanos's enormous snake body.

At the exact 0.01 seconds that the explosion occurred, Lin Jie reacted with lightning speed.

He didn't even make a hand seal; he simply clenched his fist in Thanos's direction with one hand.

Whoosh!

A small, transparent mirror space instantly took shape, like an inverted glass dome, perfectly encasing Thanos and the flames of the explosion inside.

Inside the conference room outside, not even a breeze stirred.

The Avengers lay on the ground with their heads in their hands for a long time, and only after finding nothing wrong did they cautiously raise their heads.

They were shocked to see Lin Jie standing there unharmed, his hands still in the gesture of casting a spell.

In front of him, thick smoke billowed and flames shot out from a transparent magic cube.

Wait until the smoke and dust dissipate a little.

Everyone could clearly see that the giant purple and white snake was lying sprawled out in the mirror space.

Its tail was blown to pieces, its scales were charred black, and it was still spitting out rings of black smoke from its mouth, giving off a strong smell of roasted meat.

Lin Jie looked at the roasted snake in the container and sighed helplessly:

"I told you not to mess with other people's stuff. Look, you've fried yourself up like a kebab."
