"Alright, that's a wrap."

Lin Jie patted the dust off his hands and drew a golden spark circle in the air with one hand.

Ultron was completely destroyed, and this business trip was considered a complete success. He didn't want to stay in the ruins for even a second longer.

Seeing that Lin Jie was about to leave, Wanda quickly stepped forward: "Lin Jie, wait a minute. You saved Sokovia, at least stay for a meal, okay? I want to thank you properly."

"Forget about food," Lin Jie waved his hand. "I don't like eating out; the food at Kamar-Taj's canteen is much more to my liking. Serpent, follow me."

Lin Jie greeted him.

Thanos cursed inwardly, but outwardly he obediently twisted his body and followed Lin Jie into the portal.

"Thank you!"

Just as the portal was about to close, Stark stood behind and shouted at the top of his lungs.

His thank you was heartfelt; if it weren't for Lin Jie, he would have been unfairly blamed for something much worse.

The golden light dissipated, and Lin Jie and Thanos disappeared.

Wanda turned her head, looked at the messy street, and said to Quicksilver, "Let's go, Pietro, let's help the rescue team find if there are any other people trapped."

Having taken only half a step, Wanda suddenly remembered something, turned to Stark, and asked with a hint of accusation in her eyes, "By the way, where are Captain America and the people from S.H.I.E.L.D. in dealing with such a big matter as Ultron?"

Stark sighed and shrugged helplessly. "Didn't I tell you from the beginning? The S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building suddenly exploded by itself! I heard it was a defense system malfunction. Now Director Nick Fury, Captain America, Hawkeye, and the others are all in the intensive care unit. I have to fly back right away to see if they're even breathing."

After saying that, Stark closed his mask, and flames shot from his feet, propelling him straight into the sky.

Wanda was left standing alone in the ruins, utterly bewildered in the wind.

What is that?

S.H.I.E.L.D. blew themselves up?!

A whole bunch of superheroes and secret service leaders are in the ER?!

This is just too weird!

……

Kamar-Taj, the Temple of the Ancient One.

Gu Yi was meditating on the futon with her eyes closed.

hum-

A golden portal lit up in the center of the temple.

Gu Yi slowly opened her eyes, looked at Lin Jie who came out, and smiled slightly.

"You're back." Gu Yi picked up a small fan beside her. "It seems things went smoothly."

In fact, the Ancient One did not use magic to spy on the battle situation in Sokovia at all.

She was well aware of Lin Jie's current abilities.

Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

"Master, it's all done." Lin Jie stepped forward and bowed.

Ultron is dead, and I destroyed the mainframe with a virus.

"Well done. You got full marks in this practical assessment."

It was rare for Gu Yi to offer praise.

Gu Yi was genuinely gratified.

In the past, whenever Lin Jie used his skills, he would either alarm Dormammu, go to Asgard to buy supplies, or even almost destroy Kamar-Taj.

This time when he went to Sokovia, the kid actually learned to control his strength and didn't make any mess that crossed dimensions.

This shows that Lin Jie's control over magical energy is becoming increasingly refined.

Gu Yi was in a great mood, waving her small fan, her gaze passing over Lin Jie and landing on the giant python following behind.

It's no surprise that Thanos suffered a lot of injustice on this trip.

Judging from the scorch marks scattered all over its body, it was probably used as a shield.

Gu Yi chuckled inwardly, but pretended to know nothing on the surface.

She knew full well that the purple sweet potato was treacherous and cunning, so she couldn't push it too hard now and had to wait it out slowly.

Thanos felt a chill run down his spine when stared at by the Ancient One's penetrating gaze, which seemed to see right through his soul.

"What mischief is that old woman up to now?" Thanos was feeling very guilty.

To conceal his inner turmoil, Thanos forcibly tugged at the muscles on either side of the snake's mouth, trying to force out a fawning, obedient smile.

It would have been better if he hadn't laughed; once he did, he immediately gave himself away.

The Ancient One stared blankly at Thanos's gaping maw for a moment.

"Apprentice, why are the teeth of your snake leaking?"

The Ancient One pointed at Thanos's empty gums and deliberately asked loudly.

Lin Jie turned around upon hearing this.

Thanos was standing with his mouth open, and where his two huge fangs used to be, there were only two bloody craters left.

Coupled with its current forced smile, it's as ridiculous as can be.

"puff!"

Lin Jie couldn't help but burst out laughing on the spot.

"Master, it's really not my fault." Lin Jie explained with a laugh, "When I used the Mirror Dimension to trap Ultron, I accidentally trapped this unlucky thing inside as well. I guess it was so angry that it tried to bite Ultron's vibranium skull and broke its teeth."

Thanos: "..."

You still have the nerve to laugh! If you hadn't locked me up, would I be suffering like this?!

Upon hearing Lin Jie's explanation, Gu Yi nodded in deep agreement.

"I see." Gu Yi feigned sudden realization, then changed the subject, "However, the fact that it could be locked inside and fight the vibranium robot to the death, and still come out alive, shows that its resilience is truly extraordinary."

"That's right!" Lin Jie wholeheartedly agreed, "They're incredibly thick-skinned; they won't die no matter how many times they're bombed."

Gu Yi rolled his eyes, lightly slapped his thigh with his folding fan, and threw out an extremely cunning suggestion:

"Since this snake is so resilient, let's not just let it sleep by the door anymore. You're currently in a period of rapid magical advancement, and you need a practice target. Whether you're practicing reality manipulation or other dangerous spells, you can use it as a live punching bag. It'll help it loosen up and improve together!"

Lin Jie's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Great idea, Master! This is called making use of waste!"

Thanos: "..."

The entire room fell silent.

Thanos stared at the gaping snake mouth, completely petrified as if struck by lightning.

Waste utilization?!

A living punching bag?!

Try using me on those deadly spells?!

Ancient One! You old, wicked woman!

I'll never let you get away with this!
