American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

While S.H.I.E.L.D. was still reeling from the shock, the skies over Kathmandu had already undergone a dramatic shift.

The terrifying energy pressure slammed directly onto the barrier of Kamar-Taj.

Even before the alarm went off, Gu Yi knew that big trouble was on its way.

"They've arrived." Gu Yi stopped what she was doing, her expression very serious.

The air instantly dropped to freezing point.

Everyone's hearts sank.

Odin made a decisive move: "I'll send reinforcements immediately! The Asgardian army can cross galaxies to join the battle at any time!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to cast a spatial teleportation spell.

"Stop." Gu Yi immediately refused.

Clean and efficient, without any hesitation or fuss.

Odin paused, utterly puzzled.

The Ancient One knew perfectly well that while a large number of people were indeed needed for war, in the face of absolute power in the multiverse, numbers were merely for show.

Bringing the entire Asgardian army over would only result in a few tens of thousands more deaths, which is completely pointless.

"What? You have another trick up your sleeve?" Odin asked anxiously. "A large army pressing in can at least buy us some time; it's better than just waiting to die!"

Gu Yi shook her head decisively: "It's useless. If the enemy wants to wipe out an army, they won't even need a second."

The words revealed a harsh reality.

Upon hearing this, Odin was completely at a loss.

They couldn't even stall for time; it was a complete annihilation. He shut his mouth, stamping his feet in frustration.

Just then, a loud roar came from overhead.

"The barrier is broken." Gu Yi looked up abruptly and strode out of the front hall.

Lin Jie and Odin immediately followed.

The three of them went to the training ground outside.

In mid-air, a transparent protective shield shattered into countless spots of light.

A silver metallic figure riding a surfboard descended upon Kamar-Taj with immense pressure.

He surveyed the group of mages below him from his elevated position, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

Soon, the silver monster's gaze was fixed on Lin Jie.

The mechanical, cold voice echoed through the sky:

"Target of divine punishment locked."

One sentence confirmed everyone's guesses.

The Star Devourer was indeed after Lin Jie.

There's no turning back now.

The Ancient One gritted her teeth and shouted sharply, "All personnel of Kamar-Taj, heed my command! Engage the enemy immediately!"

Since the gods have shown no mercy, Kamar-Taj will not back down an inch. The mages activated their magic circles, preparing to fight to the death.

"Wait!"

A louder voice forcefully drowned out the Ancient One's command.

All the mages in the room were stunned and turned around to look.

Lin Jie strode forward and walked straight to the front of the crowd.

He turned to his subordinate mages and shouted, "Listen up, everyone! Disperse immediately and go back to your dormitories! No one is allowed to come out!"

The audience was silent.

Everyone was stunned.

The monks were caught in a dilemma: should they leave or stay?

Even the Ancient One couldn't maintain her usual composure, and unusually broke down: "Lin Jie! What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Sending the mages away would mean Lin Jie would have to face a monster capable of destroying the universe alone.

Lin Jie turned around, looked at his master, and said resolutely, "Master, every wrong has its perpetrator. They're here to take my life; how could I let my own brothers go up as cannon fodder?"

Lin Jie was naturally apprehensive. The opponent was a god-level fighter; whoever encountered him would die.

But he is now the ruler of Kamar-Taj. He has followers to help him revitalize the sect, not to shield him from harm.

He still has that much backbone.

"I'll take responsibility for the trouble I caused." After saying that, Lin Jie walked directly to the center of the training field, looked up, and stared intently at the Silver Surfer in the sky.

Looking at Lin Jie's resolute back, Gu Yi sighed deeply.

Having lived for thousands of years, she had long seen through it all.

Some calamities are unavoidable, and no amount of effort can save you.

The Ancient One put away the magic circle in her hand and fell silent.

Odin, standing to the side, completely lost his temper: "Hey! Ancient One! Are you crazy? Are you really going to let him go and die alone?!"

Gu Yi nodded silently: "Mm."

Even the Sorcerer Supreme abandoned the idea of ​​a group fight. Odin opened his mouth, but swallowed the rest of his words.

He sighed heavily, his gaze turning to the young mage in the center of the arena with a complex expression.

This kid is really courting death by going head-to-head with the divine messenger.

......

On the training ground.

Lin Jie stared intently at the silver figure in front of him.

This was the closest he had ever come to the messenger of the gods.

He never expected that his first encounter with a god-level figure wouldn't be about receiving benefits, but rather about being labeled a "punisher."

The air was thick with a suffocating sense of oppression.

Just then, the Silver Surfer, who had been standing like a statue, spoke up.

"You lowly creature, you have quite the courage."

It was impossible to tell whether it was a compliment or sarcasm.

But the phrase "lower life" was extremely jarring to Lin Jie's ears.

So, in the eyes of the gods, earthlings are not even as good as ants?

Lin Jie felt a surge of anger. He frowned, preparing to retaliate.

"Just a errand boy, and he thinks he's something special?"

A crisp, slightly arrogant snort suddenly rang out.

Without turning around, Lin Jie knew it was Qing, that chuunibyou girl, again.

Suddenly, Qing strolled over and stood casually next to Lin Jie, arms crossed, chin tilted back, looking up at the Silver Shadow in mid-air.

"Are you trying to act like a big shot by flying so high? Don't you even take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror to see who you really are!"

They dared to point their fingers at the messenger of the gods and curse him.

It's not that Qing is blindly confident, but that she has the confidence to back it up.

The Merlin family already holds a high position in the multiverse, and now Merlin has been elevated to the status of the Omnipotent Guardian God.

In terms of professional titles, Merlin definitely surpasses the Silver Surfer. Therefore, as a descendant of the Merlin family, Qing naturally didn't take this silver iron lump seriously.

Hearing Qing's shouts, the Silver Surfer finally reacted.

His gaze shifted to Qing, his mechanical voice devoid of any inflection:

"Descendants of Merlin".

Just four words were enough to say hello.

Despite the Merlin family's renowned reputation, the Silver Surfer paid them no heed.

He only obeys the commands of Galactus.

His sole mission today was to eliminate Lin Jie. The Merlin family and their cosmic standing were completely irrelevant to him.

However, he was somewhat surprised that the heir of the Merlin family would come to Kamar-Taj.

"So you do know Merlin." Qing sneered, arrogantly raising her chin. "Since you know who I am, why don't you get lost?"

Qing's eyes were sharp; she knew perfectly well why Silver Shadow had come.

She invoked Merlin's name hoping to intimidate the Silver Surfer and make him back down. If a real fight broke out, everyone present combined would likely be no match for this silver monster.

To everyone's surprise, the Silver Surfer didn't leave; instead, he rode his skateboard and landed directly on the training grounds of Kamar-Taj.

His gaze refocused on Lin Jie, his voice icy and chilling:

"In the name of God, I unleash divine punishment!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Without even blinking, Silver Surfer unleashed a devastating energy beam that hurtled straight toward Lin Jie's face.

Lin Jie's heart skipped a beat, and he prepared to defend himself.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Three dazzling lights suddenly shone in front of Lin Jie.

Sunny, Lilia, and Wanda!

The three women had somehow rushed to the front and, working together, erected a massive magical barrier, desperately blocking the Silver Surfer's attack.

Upon seeing this, Lin Jie frowned and demanded sharply, "Who gave you permission to stay?!"

Qing is not a Kamar-Taj citizen, so Lin Jie has no say in the matter.

But Lilia and Wanda are mages under his command!

Knowing full well that staying meant certain death, they actually ignored his orders!

Now is not the time to play the hero!
