American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

"What's wrong?"

Gu Yi remained calm and took the lead in a friendly tone, "Does the God-King think there's something wrong with the snake my disciple is raising?"

Gu Yi's question was very serious.

Upon hearing this, Thanos tensed up even more.

"Hmm..." Odin nodded slowly, his expression very serious. "There is indeed a problem, and a very big one."

Is there a problem?!

Thanos felt a "boom" in his mind.

Oh no! Has that old fox Odin seen through my true form? I'm completely doomed!

Thanos was so anxious his teeth were chattering, his mind racing with plans on which window to jump out of to maximize his chances of escaping.

"This snake...it's huge!"

Odin finally spoke the words he had been holding back for so long.

Thanos: "..."

I swear...!

You've been panting for ages just to say this?!

You, the supreme ruler of the Nine Realms, what rare and exotic creatures doesn't Asgard have? You've seen dire wolves hundreds of meters long, and now you're complaining that my snake, only a few meters long, is too big?!

Thanos was so angry he almost cursed on the spot, his scales nearly standing on end.

Even the gods would know the incredible rollercoaster it had just experienced! Its heart almost stopped beating!

You, Odin, are a god-king, do you really find it fun to play these heart-pounding games?

Just as Thanos was cursing furiously in his mind, Odin suddenly took two steps forward and walked directly in front of Thanos.

Before Thanos could react...

Odin actually stretched out his old, large hand and touched Thanos's head directly, and even patted it twice!

Thanos: "???"

Is this some kind of dog-patting gesture?!

Thanos was completely dumbfounded—no, the entire snake was stunned.

Although its current strength is indeed suppressed to be inferior to Odin and the Ancient One, that doesn't mean it can be casually treated like a pet and have its head patted!

This is a blatant insult!

Thanos lost control of his emotions for a moment, and a fierce killing intent shot out from his vertical pupils as he stared intently at Odin.

Odin, with his keen senses, immediately perceived this hostility.

He frowned, withdrew his hand, turned to look at Lin Jie, and said with a hint of displeasure, "Lin Jie, this snake you're raising has quite a temper. Looks like it takes after its owner."

Thanos's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Holy crap! A god-king like him, actually resorting to tattling?!

It's important to know that Thanos is still eyeing the Infinity Stones in Lin Jie's possession and doesn't dare to offend this living devil.

Upon hearing Odin's complaint, the fierce glint in Thanos's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a pitiful expression, his large, watery eyes looking innocently at Lin Jie.

Lin Jie glanced at Thanos and casually replied, "I didn't discipline him well, I'm sorry to have made the God-King laugh at me."

As he spoke, Lin Jie glared at Thanos.

Thanos: "..."

Odin! You old geezer! You just wait!

Thanos was extremely frustrated, but had nowhere to vent his anger.

To avoid arousing Lin Jie's suspicion, Thanos took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his dignity as the overlord of the universe.

"Eeya!"

Thanos opened his mouth and let out an extremely obsequious, cloyingly sweet cry. He eagerly nuzzled his head against Odin's boot, performing a perfect Sichuan opera face-changing act.

This extreme display of cuteness completely stunned Odin.

"This...is this really Thanos?" Odin remained expressionless on the surface, but secretly he quickly used his mental powers to send a telepathic message to the Ancient One.

"Be confident, it's him," Gu Yi replied with absolute certainty.

Odin: "..."

The old man's eyes instantly filled with pity as he looked at Thanos.

Thanos, what inhuman torture did you endure in Kamar-Taj that forced a cosmic butcher to learn to act cute to survive?

Just when the atmosphere in the dormitory reached its most awkward point, Gu Yi suddenly spoke up.

"Disciple, the God King made a special trip here this time because he wanted to see your Infinity Stones."

Gu Yi's casual remark dropped a bombshell into the dormitory.

The room fell silent instantly.

Even Odin was stunned.

He turned to look at the Ancient One, his face full of confusion, and quietly questioned her with his mental powers: "Didn't I come here to see Thanos turn into a snake and make a fool of myself? When did I say I wanted to see the Infinity Stones?"

"Isn't that right?" The Ancient One's gaze swept over them indifferently.

Odin clearly read a sly smile in the Ancient One's eyes.

He understood instantly.

This old woman is planning to use the Infinity Stones as bait to completely ensnare Thanos!

The thought of Thanos being tricked made Odin feel instantly relieved.

"Yes!" Odin puffed out his chest and solemnly agreed, "I came all this way just to see the Infinity Stones!"

Odin and the Ancient One were both old foxes who had lived for thousands of years. With just one glance, they both understood each other perfectly.

Without any hesitation, Odin immediately put on a stern face and echoed in an extremely authoritative tone, "That's right, I came here specifically to see the Infinity Stones."

As soon as he finished speaking, Thanos, who was hiding in the corner, suddenly lit up.

Unlimited Primogems?!

Isn't this exactly what I've been dreaming of?!

Thanos's heart pounded wildly. His fear of Odin and the Ancient One vanished instantly, and now his mind was filled only with the words "Infinity Stones."

It stretched its neck, its snake eyes fixed on Lin Jie.

Seeing Thanos's pathetic state, the Ancient One remained expressionless on the surface, but secretly exchanged a meaningful glance with Odin once again.

Both of them were overjoyed.

The purple sweet potato really took the bait!

However, Lin Jie saw through the subtle exchange of glances between the two old foxes.

Lin Jie is no fool.

These two are acting out a back-and-forth, with so many expressive glances between them; they're clearly plotting some wicked scheme.

Odin, the mighty god-king, would travel all this way to his dormitory to see the Infinity Stones? That lie wouldn't even fool a three-year-old.

"Something's fishy. Those two old guys are definitely up to no good."

Lin Jie muttered to himself, but he didn't say it out loud.

"Yes, Master."

Lin Jie nodded in agreement and turned to walk to the table.

He picked up the gray magic bag, turned it upside down, and shook it vigorously.

What happened next completely stunned Odin, who had been watching the show.

"Splash splash splash!"

The crisp sounds of impact continued one after another.

A large pile of colorful, glowing stones poured out of the palm-sized cloth bag like a waterfall, instantly forming a small mountain on the table.

Odin's one eye widened in shock, and his jaw nearly dropped to the ground.

God!

Mind Stone! Soul Stone!

Reality Stone! Time Stone!

There's even a knock-off version of the Rubik's Cube that emits spatial fluctuations!

There are more than a dozen of each type of raw stone!

The colorful stones shimmered dazzlingly in the sunlight, so brightly that they dazzled Odin's eyes.

Is this what they call "seeing Infinite Gems"?

This is like stepping into a raw stone wholesale market!

Not only Odin, but Thanos in the corner was also completely stunned by this spectacular sight.

Its mouth was wide open, and saliva dripped from its fangs onto the floor.

It's not that it's unhygienic, but rather that as a snake, it simply can't control its physiological reactions when faced with so many tempting treasures.

Get rich!

Thanos roared inwardly.

Just as Thanos was so excited he was about to faint, Lin Jie reached his hand into the bag again.

"Clang!"

A huge, gleaming metal glove with five holes was thrown onto the table.

Thanos's snake eyes instantly erupted with a frenzied light.

What the hell!What the hell!What the hell!

It really is the Infinity Gauntlet!

Thanos was so excited that he was trembling all over, and tears almost welled up in his eyes.

All the grievances, beatings, and humiliation of being treated like a pet snake that I suffered in Kamar-Taj during this time were all worth it at this moment!

Five Primal Stones, plus the Infinity Gauntlet!

If it can seize the last Power Stone, it can snap its fingers and achieve its grand goal of wiping out half of all life in the universe!
