Chapter 254: C246
The benefits of the Chitauri's hive mind are obvious. Their collective consciousness allows for instantaneous sharing of tactics and ideas, achieving perfect synchronization. Without complex human emotions such as fear, they act like emotionless, cruel machines.
However, this also presents a fatal flaw. If the central mind is destroyed, all connected Chitauri soldiers immediately fall into a state of brain death. In essence, while their semi-mechanized bodies are more resilient than human flesh, their minds are as fragile as blank paper, easily pierced by any power capable of mental attack.
This was Wanda's discovery. Using her domineering energy to target the minds and consciousness of the Chitauri soldiers, she crushed their fragile psyches, leaving them brain-dead in an instant. A smirk tugged at the corners of her mouth.
"Found the weakness~~"
She strode purposefully toward the central control room of the mothership.
Meanwhile, outside the mothership, an intense battle raged.
Thor, wrapped in a storm of thunder and lightning, tore through the vacuum of space with a feral roar. Chitauri aircraft and Leviathan warships were reduced to smoldering debris in his wake. The soldiers stood no chance, their ranks obliterated by the streaking bolts of lightning that left destruction in their path.
Yet, Thor wasn't alone in his devastation.
Natasha, Gennady, Pietro, Sergei, and the others matched, or even surpassed, his destructive power. The genetic serum injected into their veins had not only enabled them to fight in space but had elevated their abilities far beyond human limits. The Moon Cloth, an evolved technique of Sky Blade, gave them superhuman speed and the ability to deliver powerful flying slashes.
