American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

"Once this kid falls asleep tonight, I'll steal all the gloves and raw gems! I can try them one by one; I'll eventually collect a real set!"

Thanos secretly plotted his perfect escape plan.

However, it was too soon to be happy.

Lin Jie reached his hand into the bag again.

"Clang!"

A second, identical Infinity Gauntlet was thrown onto the table.

Thanos was stunned.

Wait, why are there two?

Isn't there only one Infinity Gauntlet in the entire universe?

Before it could react...

"Clang!"

The third Infinity Gauntlet has appeared.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Lin Jie pulled out one piece of scrap metal after another from the cloth bag, as if he were taking out free junk.

The fourth one, the fifth one, the sixth one...

In less than half a minute, the table was filled with ten golden Infinity Gauntlets!

Thanos was completely dumbfounded.

It looked at the pile of colorful gemstones on the table, and then at the ten Infinity Gauntlets neatly arranged.

The euphoria vanished instantly, replaced by profound despair.

Are you kidding me?!

Which one is real?!

If all it has is a pile of stones and a glove, it can steal them and try them out slowly.

But now, ten gloves, plus hundreds of stones!

The cost of trial and error for these permutations and combinations is so high that even if you used up all of Titan's lifespan, you still couldn't finish trying them all!

"What the hell..."

Thanos felt a surge of blood rushing to his chest, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

Have those sorcerers at Kamar-Taj gone mad?!

Instead of practicing your magic properly, you're shutting yourselves in and running a small commodity wholesale business in Yiwu?!

You guys are actually mass-producing cosmic-level artifacts like the Infinity Stones and the Infinity Gauntlet?!

Can't people ever be sincere with each other anymore?!

Can you please give me a definite answer on which one is true?

Looking at the wooden table, which was crammed full of various ingots and the Infinity Gauntlet.

Thanos was dumbfounded.

Odin was dumbfounded.

To be honest, Odin didn't actually have a strong desire for Infinity Stones.

He is the ruler of Asgard, the only overlord of the Nine Realms!

Even without these things, he could still roam freely in the divine realm.

If Lin Jie had only pulled out five stones of different colors and a glove, Odin would have at most been amazed by the kid's luck.

But now?

This is a mountain!

Odin's current mood is somewhat similar to Thanos's, who is hiding in a corner.

He really couldn't understand what the people at Kamar-Taj were trying to do.

Are you planning to open a chain of stores in the universe and wholesale magical artifacts?

Odin couldn't hold back any longer and directly used his mental powers to communicate with the Ancient One: "Ancient One, what's going on? Why are there so many Infinity Stones?"

"These were all made by my apprentice himself."

The Ancient One's telepathic message carried an undisguised hint of smugness.

Odin's head was buzzing.

You forged it yourself?!

You can make this stuff yourself?

It's one thing to forge a few gloves, but to mass-produce primal stones, a cosmic-level cheat?

"Why are you making him manufacture so many? To sell them for money?"

Odin was filled with doubt.

The Ancient One did not answer directly, but subtly tilted her head and glanced at Thanos in the corner of her eye.

Odin followed her gaze.

I only glanced at it.

Odin almost burst out laughing on the spot.

Thanos froze completely.

It stretched its neck, its snake eyes staring straight at the table, its mouth wide open, its face clearly showing three words: "I have no will to live!"

I truly feel like I have no will to live!

Upon seeing this scene, Odin instantly realized the truth.

You ancient one, you bastard!

Your apprentice is a swindler, but you're even more ruthless than him!

Odin understood everything now.

The Ancient One deliberately showed him the Infinity Stones, not to show off, but to scheme against Thanos!

Given the Ancient One's stingy nature, if there was only one real Time Stone, she would be too busy hiding it to possibly openly display it all on the table for others to see.

Odin could figure that out even with his toes.

There were over a hundred Originium Stones piled on the table, along with ten gleaming Infinity Gauntlets.

If even one of them is real, it's a testament to the Ancient One's great mercy today!

It's possible that they're all fake!

If Thanos were to go to great lengths to steal these things, he would have to try out all ten gloves and find the correct combination from over a hundred stones...

That'll take forever to test!

By the time it gets the results, the universe will probably be destroyed several times over!

Thinking of this, Odin looked at Thanos with a hint of pity.

That's horrible!

This purple sweet potato had no choice but to provoke this master and apprentice pair; it must have been incredibly unlucky!

"Master, everything is here."

Lin Jie emptied the contents of the cloth bag and casually tied the empty bag back around his waist.

"Hmm." The Ancient One nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Odin, smiling as she asked, "God-King, what do you think?"

Odin: "???"

Odin suppressed a laugh, his lips twitching slightly.

how do you feel

This deceptive method is absolutely flawless!

Of course, Odin couldn't say this aloud. He cleared his throat and pretended to be someone who had seen it all: "Hmm, it's quite nice, very spectacular."

Thanos in the corner: "..."

fine?!

What's so great about this?!

You, a god-king who has lived for thousands of years, seeing so many artifacts that should be unique in the universe, actually only said "Pretty good"?!

Don't you find that strange?

Thanos's doubts grew stronger, and his vertical pupils scanned back and forth between the Ancient One, Odin, and Lin Jie.

There are ghosts!

These three people are definitely up to something!

Thanos is now 100% certain that this is a massive conspiracy targeting him!

Just as Thanos was lost in thought, the Ancient One slowly pulled a small folding fan from her sleeve and said to Lin Jie while fanning herself, "Disciple, come with me to the Sanctuary now. I have something important to discuss with the God-King."

After saying that, the Ancient One raised her hand and drew a sparking portal in mid-air.

The Ancient One went in first, followed closely by Odin.

Lin Jie had just taken a step when he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the table.

When Thanos saw them leaving, he suspected something was amiss, but he still felt uneasy leaving his snake alone in the dormitory.

It quickly twisted its body, preparing to follow Lin Jie through the portal.

As soon as it climbed to the door, it was stopped by the voice of the Ancient One.

"Lin Jie, don't bring your pet snake. After all, it's not convenient with the God King here," Gu said without turning his head.

Lin Jie stopped, glanced at Thanos on the ground, and nodded.

He turned to look at the mountain of raw stones and gloves piled on the table, and was about to reach out to tidy them up.

Just then, Gu Yi waved his hand.

"Whoosh!"

The portal closed instantly, and Lin Jie and the portal vanished without a trace.

The entire dormitory fell silent instantly.

Thanos was left alone, a snake staring blankly at the empty room.

Thanos: "..."

What's going on?!

You just left all these raw gems and gloves on the table and left without even locking the door?!

Is this due to a lack of awareness about theft prevention, or do they think I can't take away a snake?

Thanos sneered inwardly.

Ancient One! Odin! You two old geezers!

Do you think I can't see through this trap?!

You deliberately put so many things here to lure me into stealing them!

As soon as I make a move, you will definitely jump out and expose my identity!

I am Thanos! I am the ruler of the universe! How could I possibly fall for such a low-level trick!

You underestimate me!

Even if I starve to death here today, even if you stew me into snake soup, I will never touch any of these things!

Thanos secretly swore a poisonous oath in his heart.

but……

As time ticked by, Thanos's gaze remained fixed on the table.

Those stones, shimmering with multicolored light, seemed to possess a deadly magic, frantically attracting its attention.

Just one look, just one look.

Anyway, they don't know which one of mine is the real one.

This damn temptation!

Thanos swallowed hard, and his body involuntarily crawled slowly toward the table.
