American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

In the mirror space, Ultron's crimson electronic eye flickered, keenly sensing the anomaly in the external environment.

It stopped its one-sided beating of Thanos, turned around, and stared intently at Lin Jie outside the glass dome.

[WARNING: Extremely strong electromagnetic pulse detected.]

System damage level: 15%...30%...

Ultron's processor started alarming wildly.

Although its vibranium body is sturdy, its internal electronic components inevitably begin to malfunction in the face of high-power EMP.

However, Ultron was not flustered.

It had already prepared countless escape routes for itself.

As long as the internet is still there, it doesn't matter if this body is destroyed.

[Initiate consciousness transfer procedure. Target: Backup space satellite station.]

Ultron gave the order to prepare to flee.

However, a second passed.

Two seconds passed.

The transfer process keeps showing "Connecting" and the progress bar is stuck at 0.1%.

Ultron was stunned.

Its proud data network is as still and stagnant as a pool of water!

All the signals it sent sank without a trace the moment they passed through the transparent glass cover.

[Analyzing the cause...]

[Analysis Result: External time flow rate is zero. Network channel is closed.]

Time is zero?!

Ultron's logic module almost burned out.

This completely violates the known laws of physics!

Even if humans created a black hole, it would be impossible to instantly stop time in an entire city!

Ultron's electronic eye locked onto Lin Jie outside.

The young man, dressed in strange monk's robes, was flashing a blinding green light in his hand.

Until this moment, this top-tier artificial intelligence, composed of data and steel, experienced human emotions for the first time.

That fear stemmed from the unknown.

Could this be... the magic he was talking about?!

"Looks like you've realized you can't escape."

Lin Jie looked at Ultron, who was stunned inside the dome, and smiled slightly.

His left hand still maintained the green light that stopped time, while his right hand pulled a silver syringe from the pocket of his monk's robe.

It contained a pale blue liquid.

This was secretly given to him by Stark before he came to Sokovia.

Although Stark is usually unreliable, he always has a backup plan when it matters.

He had already written a virus removal tool specifically targeting the underlying code of Ultron.

The reason I didn't tell Wanda and Quicksilver was because I was afraid that too many people would talk and the news would leak out.

Stark has placed all his bets on Lin Jie.

As long as Lin Jie can trap Ultron, this tube of virus will be enough to kill it.

Lin Jie lightly drew a line in mid-air with his right index finger.

hum!

A golden portal, no bigger than the palm of a hand, opened directly at the back of Ultron's neck, in the only blind spot of the vibranium armor.

Lin Jie took the syringe and handed it forward.

The extremely fine needle pierced through the portal and effortlessly penetrated Ultron's fragile data interface.

The pale blue viral liquid was injected instantly.

Zi la la!

Ultron's towering body suddenly stiffened, and dazzling sparks of electricity erupted from his body.

[WARNING! Core code has been devastatingly modified!]

[System crash... Unable to be repaired...]

"No! This can't be! I am the savior! I cannot die here!"

Ultron let out a defiant roar, desperately trying to tear off the needle from its neck, but the virus had already spread to every part of its body.

With a final, piercing short-circuit sound, the red light in Ultron's eyes went out completely.

The massive vibranium body collapsed heavily like a pile of scrap metal.

A generation of top-tier artificial intelligence has fallen.

Lin Jie breathed a sigh of relief and dissipated the green light from his hand.

At the same time, he made a sound... With a thought, he canceled the time stop and the mirror space.

The gears of time have begun to turn again.

As time resumed, the power of the EMP bomb finally exploded in the real world.

Crash!

The robotic soldiers flying in the sky and running on the ground all lost power and crashed instantly.

The metal lumps, having lost their power, collapsed to the ground, never to rise again.

The streets of Sokovia, filled with the smoke of battle, suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

The civilians hiding in the ruins peeked out and stared at the machine wreckage scattered all over the ground. It took them a long time to react.

The crisis is over!

"We survived!"

"The machine monsters are all dead!"

The crowd erupted in cheers and cries of relief at the loss for what seemed like a disaster.

Stark descended from the sky and landed next to Lin Jie.

He lifted his mask, looked at Ultron's corpse on the ground, and finally felt relieved.

"Well done, Lin Jie! Thanks to you today."

Stark exclaimed in genuine admiration. The mess he himself had created had finally been quelled.

Wanda and Quicksilver also rushed over.

Wanda's eyes reddened as she looked at the destroyed machine army.

She walked up to Lin Jie and bowed deeply.

"Thank you. You saved Sokovia; you are our benefactor."

Wanda spoke sincerely, "I apologize for my previous doubts and offenses towards you."

"It's nothing," Lin Jie waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

The surviving militants and civilians also gathered around, thanking Lin Jie and the Avengers profusely.

Lin Jie instantly became the focus of everyone's attention and was regarded as a hero who saved the world.

However, amidst the laughter and cheers, one guy's mentality had completely collapsed.

In a corner of the ruins.

Thanos was covered in dust, and a large chunk of his once beautiful purple-white scales had been blasted off by Ultron's pulse cannon. Blood was still seeping from the blast wound on his tail.

The worst part is that when it opens its mouth, the space where its front teeth should be is empty, and air leaks out.

Thanos huddled in the corner, his bloodshot vertical pupils fixed on Lin Jie, who was surrounded by the crowd.

It felt so wronged that it wanted to bang its head against the wall.

Why should I?!

Why is it that this kid gets to show off his skills and be adored by everyone outside?

I was being brutally beaten like a punching bag by an iron turtle inside a glass enclosure; my front teeth even broke!

Even if they didn't achieve great things, they certainly put in a lot of effort, right?

The results of it?

After the fight, not a single person even bothered to check on me! Did they all just ignore me?!

I, the mighty overlord of the universe, am not going to suffer such humiliation from you!

Do you know how hard it is for me?!
