American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

"impossible!"

Dormammu refused loudly and without hesitation, full of confidence.

Even without internet access and losing home-field advantage, he is still one of the top dark mages in the entire universe.

Are you going to use a bunch of newbies as punching bags?

This is an insult to his career as a demon god.

Deceiving too much!

Lin Jie didn't even bother to reply. He just grinned slightly and stared intently at the skull in front of him.

Silence speaks louder than words.

The old monster felt uneasy under their watchful gaze.

To cover his panic, Dormammu coughed strategically and quickly came up with a plausible excuse.

"You want me to be everyone's sparring partner? Have you thought about the consequences?"

Dormammu spread out his enormous skeletal hand and spoke eloquently.

"With my strength, do you think these underlings can fight me? If a fight breaks out and many people die or are injured, who will be responsible?"

And I must say, there's not a single fault with what he said.

Lin Jie nodded in deep agreement after listening: "That makes sense, it's indeed easy for someone to die. In that case, let's just pack you up and send you to another dimension for exile."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jie raised his palm, ready to cast a spell to drive the person away.

Dormammu was so frightened by this situation that he cried out in shock.

"no!!"

The scream was so heart-wrenching that even Lin Jie was startled and frowned.

Seeing that everyone around him was staring at him, Dormammu quickly tried to make amends.

The skull forced a smile that looked more like a grimace onto its face.

"No, brother... Lin Jie, everything can be discussed, why resort to violence?"

The mighty Lord of Darkness actually begged for mercy in public?

The hundreds of mages in the audience were completely dumbfounded, their jaws dropping in astonishment.

How come the legendary ultimate villain who roamed the universe is acting like a coward today?

No one could possibly understand the bitterness in Dormammu's heart.

What the hell is another dimension?

It was filled with ferocious beasts that had been banished, as well as a bunch of his old enemies.

Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs.

Now that his power has greatly diminished, if he were to be thrown into another dimension, he would definitely be torn to pieces by a group of enemies!

In comparison, staying in Kamar-Taj as a dog is practically heavenly treatment.

At the very least, staying here gives me a chance to browse through the library and maybe find a way to reconnect to my old hideout.

Once you're completely exiled, you'll truly be a skeleton for the rest of your life.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

"I think the job of a sparring partner is actually quite suitable for me."

Dormammu swallowed hard, quickly trying to save face.

"But..." Lin Jie stroked his chin, his expression strange, "Didn't you just say that everyone is prone to injury?"

Dormammu: "..."

Depend on!

Lift your rock and lick your own feet!

The old monster cursed Lin Jie's ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind. This kid was definitely doing it on purpose!

I'll endure it!

"I promise I won't fight back! Isn't pure defense enough?!"

Dormammu gritted his teeth and made an unprecedentedly huge concession.

"Tsk..."

Lin Jie remained tight-lipped, his face clearly showing his disdain.

Dormammu was almost furious on the spot.

I've been so frustrated, just taking the beatings without fighting back, and you're still finding fault with me.

I've ended up in this mess all because of you!

Despite his burning rage, Dormammu could only patiently ask, "What exactly are you worried about?"

"What if you get carried away while fighting?" Lin Jie sighed and analyzed earnestly, "You have a history of this. You even secretly brainwashed the mages in our base camp. Weighing the pros and cons, sending them away directly is the safest option to avoid future troubles."

Upon hearing this, Dormammu became extremely anxious and was almost ready to kneel down before Lin Jie.

"Exile is absolutely out of the question! I've already been cut off from the internet, what good are my followers now! Lin Jie, leave some room for maneuver! If you hadn't dragged me out of here, would I be in such a sorry state?"

Dormammu, filled with grievances, loudly protested.

"You young people really have no sense of martial ethics!"

The flames in Dormammu's eyes flared wildly.

If Lin Jie hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have already ruled the Earth.

Before he could even finish showing off, he was carried like a chick to the enemy's headquarters and was about to be fed to his enemies.

What the hell!

Dormammu stared intently at Lin Jie and swore resolutely, "I swear on my honor, I won't fight back if I'm hit! In short, I'm not leaving Kamar-Taj today!"

You'd rather die than leave?

How could a major villain in the universe have to live on his nemesis's territory?

These words immediately amused the hundreds of mages around them.

Everyone couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

In the past, people would have been terrified at the mere mention of Dormammu's name, but today they seem as relaxed as if they were watching a monkey show.

In fact, Gu Yi knew exactly what was going on.

Dormammu used to rule the Dark Dimension, with a bunch of demons like Mephisto under his command.

Now that he has lost his power, if he dares to run back, he will be torn to pieces by his enemies in no time.

Staying would only mean facing her and Lin Jie.

If you run back, you'll face the relentless pursuit of the entire hell on earth. Even a fool would know which choice to make.

However, the Ancient One thought Dormammu was dreaming.

Sometimes, Lin Jie's methods of tormenting people alone are more ruthless than all the demons in the entire dimension combined.

"Since he volunteered to be the punching bag, let's grant his wish."

Gu Yi sighed and said to Lin Jie, "Given his current state, he probably wouldn't dare to cause any trouble."

When his master spoke, Lin Jie nodded without arguing.

He drew a portal with his hand and tossed Dormammu into it like a piece of trash. The portal closed instantly, and the plaza became quiet.

Gu Yi, fanning herself with a folding fan, casually asked, "Where did you put him?"

"Go where he belongs. We'll bring him out again when everyone needs to practice." Lin Jie said calmly.

"Where exactly?"

"Mirror space".

Gu Yi's eyes lit up. So they'd just locked him up in a dark room?

Lin Jie shrugged: "We can't exactly let him live in our dorm and eat and drink well every day, can we?"

Should a dangerous criminal who is redeeming himself be treated well and fed?

Gu Yi thought it made perfect sense, nodded in agreement, then waved her hand and strolled off leisurely, fanning herself with her fan.

……

The gaze shifts to the depths of space, to Thanos's super warship.

The atmosphere in the core compartment was frighteningly oppressive.

"Great father, we tried more than 830 permutations and combinations, and they all failed."

Ebony Throat lowered his head, his voice bitter.

He's even contemplating suicide now.

They came full of enthusiasm to find the Infinity Stones and were ready to make a big splash, but ended up being forced to sit in front of a table and collect blind boxes!

Two whole days and two nights, working non-stop!

The Black Obsidian Five, along with Nebula, were all exhausted, their eyes bloodshot.

Nebula, in particular, a cyborg, stared at the gem so intently that she developed cross-eyedness; it was truly a pitiful sight.

"Why is it taking so long? It's been two days and it's still not done!"

Thanos sat on his throne, his face full of impatience.

The feeling of having a gem right in front of you but being unable to use it is worse than being killed.

Ebony Throat was filled with bitterness.

Who wants to spend all day staring at stones and trying to put them on their gloves?

Trial and error is risky; what if it explodes?

If I could get my men to help, I would have gotten it done much sooner.

However, the Infinity Stones are of paramount importance, and only a very select few can access them.

Six people working overtime and still getting scolded—it's so unfair.

Thanos couldn't wait any longer and abruptly stood up: "I'm going to see what you guys are up to!"

After saying that, he strode straight to the laboratory next door.

Ebony Maw was startled and quickly chased after him, calling out, "Father, wait..."

Thanos, consumed by rage, wouldn't listen to any advice. He rushed to the door and pushed it open.

Whoosh!

A crisp sound.

The entire cabin fell into a deathly silence.

You could hear a pin drop.

After a long while, Nebula rubbed her sore eyes, turned and glared at Ebony Maw: "Why did you let Father in?"

Ebony Maw looked utterly dejected: "...I couldn't stop him."

Corvus Glaive added insult to injury from the sidelines: "Can't you use magic to block it?"

Ebony Maw: "I'd lay a hand on my father? Do you think I'm tired of living?"

Nebula sighed, pointing to the stones scattered on the ground: "It's over. Father pushed open the door just now and shattered all the gems we painstakingly sorted. What do we do now? Start all over again?"

Thanos stood at the door, completely bewildered: "...What do you mean by starting all over again?"

The Black Order and Nebula exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions even more unpleasant than if they had swallowed flies.

Who dares to tell this tyrant that just now, because he pushed the door open so loudly, all the real and fake gems arranged on the table fell to the ground?

Now, the real and the fake are all mixed up in one pot.

The six of them will most likely have to start from scratch and work hard for another two days and two nights.
