American Comics: My Skill Cards Are All Nonsensical Meme Jokes!

As the entire Marvel Universe starts going off the rails, Xia Luo's System only rewards him with "Insane Talk Skill Cards."

Zen of Silence: You usually don't speak, but if you do... then you spoke.

Corpse Explosion: When you die, your corpse will! Explode!

Old Man, Drop the Coins: Use it on Iron Man, and he'll really pull out some coins.

Just after getting out of the hospital, Xia Luo walks straight into a shootout. He equips the Hehe card and gently reminds the killer, "You must attack the taunt minion." The other guy freezes for five seconds, then actually turns his gun on his own accomplice.

From then on, everything goes completely off the rails.

He uses a suggestive card to broadcast Loki's illusions as a live Asgardian romance show. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s analysis report labels him a "humanoid meme contamination source." Iron Man's AI, JARVIS, tries to parse his logic, then crashes and reboots on the spot.

At that very moment, Xia Luo rides a motorbike into Stark Expo, a new card gleaming in his hand: Force a 50-50.

"Thanos, is it?" He grins. "Today, either you snap your fingers, or the two of us play a round of Dou Dizhu first."
