American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

Thanos sat on the stone slab outside Lin Jie's dormitory, increasingly convinced that his deduction was flawless.

Although Lin Jie pulled out a handful of colorful stones, Thanos, with the intuition of a cosmic overlord, determined that at least four of them were genuine Infinity Stones!

Four!

Once he gets his hands on those four gems, he won't even need to go back to his hometown to recruit soldiers. He can start right here on Earth and complete the great task of wiping out half the universe's population in no time!

"Whether these stones are real or fake, I'll swallow them all in one gulp! I'll take back the Infinity Gauntlet and test them one by one!"

Thanos plotted viciously in his mind.

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

As a "pet snake," he didn't even have his own den in Kamar-Taj, and could only humiliatingly sit outside his owner's doorstep as a guard dog.

And they didn't dare to wander off, for fear of accidentally bumping into Gu Yi and being suggested to go make hot pot again.

After a long and frustrating night, dawn finally broke.

crunch.

The wooden door opened, and Lin Jie stretched and walked out.

"Thanos, wake up, stop sleeping." Lin Jie kicked the giant python on the ground with his toe.

Upon hearing that familiar name, Thanos shuddered, his vertical pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints in fright.

It wasn't until he saw Lin Jie's casual expression that he suddenly realized that this was the ridiculous code name that Gu Yi had given him yesterday.

"That scared the hell out of me!"

Thanos cursed inwardly and reluctantly got up.

Without wasting words, Lin Jie led Thanos to greet the Ancient One, then drew a circle with one hand to open a portal to Sokovia.

……

Meanwhile, in an abandoned forest fortress thousands of miles away from Kathmandu.

This place used to be a secret base for Hydra, and it's filled with scrapped metal machinery.

At this moment, a robot, its body tattered and its metal parts exposed, is dragging a crippled leg as it walks step by step into the depths of the warehouse.

It is Ultron.

In just one night, it hacked into all the world's databases and thoroughly investigated everything about the Avengers.

"Stark... Thor..."

Ultron's electronic eyes flashed a cold red light, and synthesized mechanical voices echoed in the empty warehouse.

"With this broken and rusty body, it can't withstand their attacks at all."

Ultron looked at the wrecked parts scattered all over the ground and began searching through the massive amount of data for the hardest substance.

One-tenth of a second later, two words appeared in its core processor.

Zhenjin.

Just then, a one-eyed man in military uniform emerged from deep within the base.

Baron Strucker frowned, raising his gun to aim at the dilapidated robot: "Who are you? How did you get in?"

Ultron slowly turned his head, his red mechanical eyes fixed on Strucker, and coldly replied, "Don't be nervous. I'm here to help you finish what you haven't done."

……

Let's turn our attention back to the city of Sokovia.

A flash of golden light, and Lin Jie led the giant snake out of the portal.

As soon as he landed, Lin Jie's brows furrowed tightly.

The scene before me was nothing short of hell on earth.

The once peaceful Eastern European town has now been completely torn apart by the flames of war.

The sky was filled with countless silver metallic robots, like mad wasps, frantically firing at buildings and crowds on the ground.

Laser beams and artillery shells intertwined to form a deadly web.

Although the local armed forces in Sokovia are putting up a desperate resistance, their firepower is insignificant in the face of the tireless machine army, and their defenses are crumbling.

The streets were filled with burning ruins and terrified screams of civilians.

People fled in all directions amidst the gunfire, but had nowhere to go.

"This artificial intelligence really has no martial ethics; it started by massacring the city right away."

Looking at the devastated streets, Lin Jie couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

Thanos, who was following behind, didn't even lift his eyelids.

Massacre of the city?

What's this?

When he was conquering the universe, with a snap of his fingers... oops, with a single command, the life on an entire planet would vanish in an instant.

To him, the commotion in those streets of Sokovia was as trivial as children setting off firecrackers.

Thanos even opened his blood-red mouth in boredom and let out a long yawn.

It's better if he doesn't yawn.

The giant python, as thick as a water bucket, suddenly opened its mouth, which could swallow a cow whole, revealing its sharp fangs.

This horrific scene was witnessed by several civilians who were fleeing the disaster.

"Ah! A monster!"

The fleeing crowd completely broke down, screaming and scattering in all directions, faster than they could avoid the robots.

One middle-aged man, dressed in tattered clothes, suddenly collapsed to his knees before Lin Jie, trembling and begging for mercy: "Don't kill me! Please, spare me!"

Lin Jie was stunned for a moment. He looked down at the man kneeling on the ground, then turned to look at Thanos, who was now silent, and instantly understood what was going on.

"Big snake, could you please stop opening your mouth to scare people all the time?"

Lin Jie rolled his eyes and prepared to bend down to help the man up.

Just as Lin Jie's hand reached out...

A powerful and dangerous aura suddenly attacked from the side.

There was no sound of gunfire, only a dazzling, dark red energy that, like a venomous snake, pierced through the smoke and dust of the ruins and instantly wrapped around Lin Jie!

This red light was not only extremely powerful, but it also carried a strange fluctuation that could interfere with the mind.

Lin Jie had no time to react; his feet left the ground and he was lifted into the air by the dark red magical energy.

"What's going on?" Lin Jie looked down at the red light enveloping him, completely bewildered.

He looked in the direction the red light extended.

On the high wall of the ruins stood a young woman wearing a red leather jacket.

The woman had a beautiful face, but at this moment it was filled with deep-seated hatred and anger.

A violent, dark red chaotic magic was erupting from her palms.

Scarlet Witch, Wanda!

Wanda stared intently at Lin Jie in mid-air, then at the giant snake lying on the ground, and spoke through gritted teeth, her voice icy and chilling:

"You demons who are in cahoots with Ultron, bringing these disgusting monsters to slaughter civilians!"

Wanda clenched her fists tightly, her dark red magical energy instantly constricting: "The people of Sokovia will never forgive you! I will make you pay the price!"

Lin Jie, suspended in mid-air, blinked, a row of question marks appearing on his forehead.

Are they in cahoots with Ultron?

I'd only been landed for less than a minute, how did I become the villain?!
