American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

Odin sighed deeply when he mentioned his eldest daughter's name.

As the king of the Nine Realms, he feared nothing in his life, but when it came to Hela, he had absolutely no way out.

According to the normal timeline, Hela's seal could have been maintained steadily for several more years.

But then Kamar-Taj produced such an unreasonable and monstrous genius as Lin Jie.

"Last time, that kid Lin Jie used a summoning spell to forcefully pull Hela out of the seal for a quick look around. Although it was only for a brief moment, Hela's death power had completely torn apart the edges of the seal."

Odin gritted his teeth, his single eye filled with resentment.

"The seal is leaking every day, and my divine power is draining away like crazy. What's worse, I was hoping to replenish my energy during this long slumber, but I was woken up by the commotion Lin Jie caused in Sokovia after only a few days of lying down. All in all, I only slept peacefully for three days!"

The mention of eternal sleep caused Odin's blood pressure to spike again.

"For three days, my soul was drawing energy from the universe, and by sheer bad luck, I ran into this kid testing his moves."

"He inexplicably unleashed a negative magic clone, forcing me to my knees and weeping in front of you all. I've lived for thousands of years and never suffered such humiliation!"

Odin looked at the Ancient One, his expression more serious than ever before: "Therefore, Kamar-Taj must bear some responsibility for Hela's situation. My long slumber failed, and I cannot return to my peak condition; you must pay the price for Lin Jie's actions."

Although he came seeking alliances and assistance, as the father of the gods, he absolutely could not lose his dignity and authority.

Ancient One looked at the stubborn Odin, but she knew exactly what was going on.

She could clearly sense the weakness within Odin.

This golden war god, who once dominated the entire universe, is now losing his divine power irreversibly, like sand slipping through an hourglass.

His time is indeed drawing near.

However, Gu Yi did not expose him. She simply shook the small folding fan in her hand with a gentle smile on her face.

"King of Gods need not worry. Kamar-Taj and Asgard have always stood together in solidarity. If Hela truly breaks free from her seal, we will certainly not stand idly by."

Gu Yi made a firm commitment.

In fact, the Ancient One had already used magic to create a barrier around Asgard.

Once a major change occurs in Asgard, she will be able to sense it immediately in Kamar-Taj.

Odin was aware of this as well.

Therefore, the two sides have maintained this rare tacit understanding.

Upon hearing the Ancient One's statement, Odin finally felt relieved.

He tightened his golden battle robe, sat down wearily on a wooden chair, and his tone became extremely calm, no longer as arrogant as before.

"From now on, this world belongs to the young people."

Odin sighed and spoke in a low voice, as if giving his last words.

"We Asgard have lost quite a few treasures to Lin Jie. The Spear of Eternity, the Tesseract, and now even my most beloved eight-legged steed has been forcibly 'borrowed' by you. I'll turn a blind eye to these debts and not hold them against you. But from now on, you'll have to keep an eye on Thor for me."

Odin's tone carried the helplessness and expectation of an elderly father.

Knowing his days were numbered and his two sons were troublesome, he could only find a powerful backer for Saul in advance.

The Ancient One also abandoned her teasing attitude, her expression becoming serious as she earnestly reassured him, "God-King, rest assured. Although Lin Jie is usually mischievous and playful, he is extremely loyal and righteous at heart, and will absolutely be reliable in crucial moments. With Thor staying here, nothing serious will happen."

Odin was pleased with the Ancient One's attitude. He knew that although the Ancient One was cunning, she never made promises lightly.

To ease the somewhat somber and oppressive atmosphere, the Ancient One blinked, then smiled mysteriously and said to Odin, "King of Gods, let's not talk about these unpleasant things for now. I happen to have something extremely interesting to tell you; would you like to hear it?"

"Something interesting?" Odin frowned, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

Every time the people of Kamar-Taj tell him something "interesting," Asgard always ends up being the one who suffers.

He's developed a psychological aversion to this damned rule.

The Ancient One chuckled lightly: "God-King, there's no need to be nervous. This matter has nothing to do with Asgard. I'm talking about Thanos. He's currently trapped in Kamar-Taj with us."

"Thanos?" Odin was taken aback, a glint of light shooting from his single eye. "That madman who's been slaughtering everyone in the universe, trying to maintain some kind of balance? What's he doing here?"

Gu Yi covered her mouth with her fan and chuckled softly, "It's a bit absurd, actually. Lin Jie went to space a while ago to test magic and accidentally turned Thanos into a snake using reality-altering magic. Then this kid just casually brought him back like a stray cat, and now he's keeping him as a pet. Thanos is currently lying obediently outside Lin Jie's door, acting as a guard snake."

Upon hearing this news, Odin was completely dumbfounded.

The mighty Titan, a madman who reigns supreme in the universe and strikes fear into the hearts of countless planets.

Now he's actually guarding the gates for an Earth sorcerer in Kamar-Taj?!

Odin was stunned for a good ten seconds. His gloomy mood instantly improved, and he even couldn't help but want to laugh.

Compared to Thanos's fate, this god-king's ten minutes floating in the sky was nothing...

It doesn't seem so shameful anymore!

......

Kamar-Taj, the wizard's dormitory.

"What the hell? How can there be an earthquake in this godforsaken place?"

Thanos, dragging his long, purple and white body, collapsed outside Lin Jie's door, his forked tongue spitting weakly onto the ground.

Just now, it was preparing to force its way into Lin Jie's room and search for the Infinite Stones.

Before the barrier was even broken, the entire Kamar-Taj began to shake violently, as if it had been put into a washing machine.

Thanos is now a snake, without even arms or legs, so there's nowhere to grab him.

Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, it was thrown about, rolling around on the ground, its head hitting the wall several times.

Right now, I feel like I'm seeing stars, and my internal organs are churning.

It took Thanos a long time to catch his breath.

It cursed Kamar-Taj and its ancestors for eighteen generations in its mind. Ever since it came to this cursed temple, it hadn't had a single peaceful day.

They were either used as punching bags to be beaten or affected by all sorts of inexplicable magical attacks.

What frustrates Thanos the most is that he, the supreme ruler of the universe, is being kept as a pet snake here!

Other pets get to eat and drink well, but this one gets none of the benefits; it takes all the blame and pain.

Lin Jie, that kid, is practically a living devil!
