American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

Chapter 66 A Narrow Escape! Black Widow is Terrified!

The human heart is the most difficult thing to understand in the entire universe.

The earth has never lacked those greedy, ambitious madmen.

But in the Ancient One's view, these messes created by humanity itself, such as the Extremis virus and Hydra's conspiracy, should be left to the Avengers to clean up.

The established timeline has its own rules of operation, and unless faced with a cross-dimensional magical crisis, she would not intervene in advance to change anything.

However, the appearance of Lin Jie, this living ancestor, completely shattered all conventions!

This kid is like a variable that transcends the three realms and is outside the five elements; even the Eye of Agamotto cannot see through him.

Compared to those trivial worldly disputes, what Gu Yi is more troubled about now is Lin Jie.

"Just have the temple's guardian monks stationed in New York keep a close eye on things, and don't let them act rashly."

The Ancient One issued the instruction in a calm tone.

Modu nodded and accepted the order.

Then, the Ancient One opened a golden portal and stepped inside.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Venerable Master."

......

Kathmandu, Nepal.

Yellow sand filled the sky, and the streets were bustling with people.

"Captain, we've been wandering around this godforsaken place for almost half a month and haven't seen a single mage. Maybe... we should just go back to New York?"

Several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, dressed in plain clothes and looking exhausted, complained to Black Widow, who was walking ahead of them, with long faces.

Kathmandu is a place where it's unbearably hot during the day and freezing cold at night, and you'll be eating sand in your mouth. The conditions are extremely harsh.

Black Widow stopped in her tracks, gave them a cold glance, and parted her red lips slightly: "No one is going back until they find Kamar-Taj!"

She appeared expressionless on the surface, but in her heart she had already cursed Nick Fury eight hundred times over.

That damn one-eyed man!

How accurate is the information they gave us?

What mysterious magical holy site? What Kamar-Taj? I searched every street and alley in Kathmandu from top to bottom, and I didn't find a single magician, let alone a sorcerer!

Could this be a fake news story Nick Fury deliberately spread to get rid of her?!

The Black Widow grew increasingly frustrated and waved her hand irritably: "You guys go ask around those streets, I'll try my luck in the alley ahead."

After saying that, she put on her tactical boots, swayed her sexy waist, and walked alone into a secluded alley.

After wandering around the alley for a long time, I still came up empty-handed.

Exhausted, Black Widow plopped down on the moss-covered stone steps by the roadside, took out a bottle of mineral water from her backpack, and unscrewed the cap to moisten her throat.

Just then!

"boom--!!!"

A deafening roar, as if from the heavens above, exploded above her head without warning!

Black Widow's muscles tensed instantly; her agent's instincts told her that extreme danger was imminent.

Before she could even make any tactical evasive maneuvers...

An extremely domineering and dazzling golden light, so intense that it was impossible to look directly at it, flashed past her eyes in an instant, like a giant sword that could split the heavens and the earth!

"Boom—!"

Crashed!

The entire row of dilapidated brick houses in front of Black Widow turned into dust in an instant, before she could even scream!

Instead, there is a terrifying rift valley that is bottomless and hundreds of meters long!

The soil at the edge of the rift valley had been scorched black by the terrifying heat and was emitting pungent blue smoke.

Immediately afterwards, a violent, world-destroying shockwave swept in.

The bottle of mineral water that Black Widow hadn't even had a chance to drink was instantly shattered by the blast wave, splashing water all over her head and face.

Black Widow stood frozen on the stone steps, still in the posture of drinking water, like a statue soaked by water.

"..."

What happened?!

Did a meteorite hit Earth? Or did aliens bombard Kathmandu with a planet-destroying cannon?!

What exactly was that terrifying golden light?!

Black Widow stared blankly at the bottomless chasm before her, which was less than half a meter away from her toes!

Just half a meter short!

If she hadn't sat on these steps and had taken one more step forward... she wouldn't even have ashes left!

The fear of death, like a cold, venomous snake, tightly coiled around her heart.

After a long while, the Black Widow gasped sharply and began to cough violently.

She then realized that her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and her hands were shaking so badly that she couldn't even hold onto the remains of a mineral water bottle.

"This is unbelievable..." Black Widow swallowed hard, staring intently at the smoking crack.

There's definitely something wrong with Kathmandu, that wretched place! And it's a big problem!

......

at the same time.

Kamar-Taj, the only surviving building—inside the library.

"Lin Jie!!!"

A roar filled with anger, grievance, and despair nearly blew the roof off the library.

The atmosphere in the library was extremely eerie at that moment.

Lin Jie stood in the middle, holding that dusty iron sword, like a child who had done something wrong.

Beside him, Thor, lying on the wooden plank, was grimacing in pain and writhing restlessly.

Across from them, Master Wang sighed with a look of utter despair.

The most tragic figure was Modu, the once-powerful senior disciple who was in charge of the precepts.

At this moment, Modu's hands were swollen like pig's trotters, and he was sitting in a dilapidated wheelchair that he had somehow gotten his hands on.

His legs were in thick casts, he was covered in dirt, and his clothes were torn all over, making him look like he had just escaped from a refugee camp.

The dignified guardian priest of the temple, the senior brother of Kamar-Taj, has been reduced to the tragic state of being confined to a wheelchair!

If word gets out, how will Mordo ever face the magic world again?!

And the culprit behind all of this is none other than this living ancestor named Lin Jie!

"Oh my goodness, Mordo, what's wrong with you? How come you're so young and already enjoying retirement in a wheelchair?"

Thor, lying on the wooden plank, looked at Mordo's miserable state and couldn't help but burst into laughter, hurling sarcastic remarks at him.

"Shut up! Mind your own business!" Mordo was furious, his face turning ashen, and he glared at Thor fiercely.

Those two Asgardian lunatics are both rotten to the core!

Mordo took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to smash Lin Jie to death with his wheelchair, and roared at Lin Jie, "Lin Jie! Do you know what you've done?! You destroyed most of Kamar-Taj with your sword! You've seriously violated the rules! According to the regulations, you must be immediately exiled to another dimension!"

Modu's eyes were practically spitting fire.

He had only one thought in his mind: get rid of this jinx as soon as possible! The farther the better!

If he stays any longer, everyone in Kamar-Taj will be killed by him!

"Ahem..." Master Wang quickly stepped in to smooth things over. He didn't want to lose Lin Jie, such a promising talent. "Lin Jie, you really went too far this time! When the Supreme Master returns, let's see how you explain yourself!"

On the surface, Master Wang was reprimanding Lin Jie, but in reality, he was warning Mo Du: This kid is the Supreme Master's personal disciple, and only the master has the right to deal with him. Don't overstep your authority!

"Tch! It's just a friendly spar, what's the big deal about damaging a few houses?" Thor scoffed. "You Kamar-Taj people have so many ridiculous rules!"

For a warmonger like Thor, fighting and destroying houses is just commonplace.

Mordo was furious, his lungs practically bursting: "Easy for you to say! If you're so capable, let Lin Jie spar with you in your Asgardian palace next time! Let's see if your father Odin will cleave you both in two!"

"Come on then! Our Asgardian buildings are made of divine star gold, indestructible! Unlike your Kamar-Taj, which is all broken bricks and tiles, unable to withstand even a single sword strike, it's just too LOW!" Thor continued to boast shamelessly.

Mordo gritted his teeth, wishing he could sew the big, dumb guy's mouth shut with a scarlet chain right now.

Unfortunately, he is now crippled and has broken arms and legs, making it difficult for him to even cast spells.

"You..." Mordo was about to unleash a torrent of curses.

"The buildings in Kamar-Taj are indeed quite old and deserve a renovation."

A cool, calm voice suddenly rang out in the library.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of golden magical sparks rose in the air.

The Ancient One, dressed in white monk's robes, slowly walked out of the portal, fanning himself with a folding fan.

"Supreme Master!"

Master Wang and Lin Jie quickly bowed.

Mordo, seated in his wheelchair, gave an embarrassed bow. He wanted to stand up and greet him, but his strength wouldn't allow it!

Ancient One's gaze swept across the entire room, finally settling on Mordo, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

Her eyes flickered slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across them: "Mordo, what happened to you? Did you run into Dormammu's fanatical followers while on patrol and get into a bloody battle?"

In the Ancient One's opinion, only a high-ranking officer under Dormammu could have injured Mordo so badly.

Upon hearing this, Mordo's expression froze instantly.

He felt a burning pain in his cheeks, as if he had been slapped a dozen times.

God is fighting a bloody battle with Dormammu's followers!

If he were truly wounded on the battlefield, even if he lost a hand or a foot, it would still be a hero's medal!

But now?

Are you suggesting he admit to the Sorcerer Supreme that he accidentally broke his leg in his own backyard when his new junior apprentice and some Asgardian idiots were fighting and tearing down his house, and that a falling roof beam had crushed him?!

If word gets out, he'll never be able to hold his head up high again!

Mordo was so frustrated he felt like he was about to vomit blood. He pointed at Lin Jie, his voice filled with deep grief and indignation: "Supreme Sorcerer! While you were away, that brat Lin Jie was lawless, destroying most of Kamar-Taj with a single sword strike! I beg you, he must be severely punished! Exiled immediately!"
