Chapter 219: Earth's Counterattack (Part Three)
Inside the control center of the Chitauri's Black Trident Starship, the Starship's Captain looked at the constantly flashing alarms on the display screen, feeling a bit panicked.
Insufficient energy meant the ship cannons couldn't be activated for a counterattack, and the protective shield couldn't be raised. This warship had truly become a sitting duck stuck in space.
"Rumble!"
The bombing outside was continuous. The primitive gunpowder weapons of the Midgardians, which he had originally looked down upon, were causing extremely severe damage to the Starship's hull now that the Starship had lost its protective shield.
However, the Chitauri Fleet had extremely strict requirements for combat. Before receiving an order, the Captain didn't dare to order the Starship to withdraw from the spatial gate.
"Clang!" Before the Fleet Commander behind him could respond, a loud noise came from above his head.
"Beep beep beep—"
The Captain glanced at the alarm on the panel. It was the isolation layer inside the Starship's surface that had been damaged. One must know that the isolation layer was the key for the Starship to shield itself from cosmic rays and extreme temperatures—
Without the isolation layer, even if this Starship wanted to exit the spatial gate and withdraw from Earth, it would be impossible.
After losing the isolation layer, those on the ship simply couldn't withstand the damage caused by cosmic radiation and instability.
What's more, there was the pressure difference. In this situation, once the Starship returned to outer space, the ruptured hull would directly suck everyone out.
Now, they could only take the initiative to attack, using the troop transports to break through the Midgardians' ambush circle to have a glimmer of vitality.
The Captain urgently issued an emergency evacuation order. The Chitauri on the Starship rushed to the escape pods and Iron Dragon troop transports—
Just as they were scattering in panic inside the Starship, the sound of giant hammers smashing against Iron Gates boomed repeatedly.
Thor, holding Mjolnir flashing with lightning, landed directly above the Chitauri Starship. Waving his hammer, he was smashing the Starship's hull repeatedly. With every strike, a large section of the hull would be dented inwards.
After a few strikes, the entire Starship was directly dented by a third.
Clang!
Thor raised Mjolnir in his hand, preparing to continue drawing upon the power of lightning to completely destroy this Starship.
The Starship suddenly shook beneath his feet. Before Thor could react, the outer shell of the entire Starship peeled open like the metal lid of a Spam can that had been pulled open.
The entire top of the Chitauri Starship was directly lifted by an invisible strength, and the heavy Starship metal plates incidentally swatted Thor away.
Magneto, wearing a red helmet, slowly lowered his hands, his gaze fixed on the alien Starship that was missing its top.
In his and Tang Song's plan, having a few alien Starships in hand would be a bargaining chip for future negotiations with the Federal Government.
No one would like a newly emerging mutant nation, especially the Federal Government, which was accustomed to being overbearing.
According to common sense, the Federal Government would absolutely not allow a powerful neighbor to exist beside it.
One of the reasons the Federation made a fortune in WWII was its superior geographical environment, free from external enemies.
As for Mexico, it was more like a trash can for the Federal Government, a place to dump garbage.
Just like a joke on Twitter, the Mexican people's hatred for the Federation was caused by historical reasons. There were two reasons: one was that it seized half of Mexico's territory, and the second was that it left the other half without seizing it! The Federation kept Mexico as a trash can and a scapegoat, but that didn't mean it wanted a powerful mutant country next to it.
Of course, a powerful mutant country was Magneto's personal opinion. In his mind, once mutants established a country, they could quickly become powerful like Israel.
Magneto didn't notice the look of disdain in Tang Song's gaze when he spoke to him with such confidence.
Tang Song held a pessimistic attitude towards the matter of mutant independent statehood.
A mob of unreliable individuals who had nothing but their own unreliable superpowers and no faith, establishing a country? On what basis?
Many mutants, due to their appearance or abilities, had not received higher education.
Gathering them together to establish a country? Just thinking about it shows how unreliable it is. However, Tang Song inciting Magneto naturally had his own intentions.
He wasn't interested in the Chitauri's alien technology, but in the spatial gate itself.
Without the Mind Scepter, this spatial gate that couldn't be closed was a bridgehead to the universe for Earth.
Occupying this bridgehead was equivalent to occupying humanity's future access to the universe.
No country in the world had the strength to occupy it alone, otherwise, they would definitely be attacked by everyone.
Either everyone develops it together, or no one gets to play.
So they would definitely need a buffer zone, like Poland was to the Soviet Union and Germany.
Tang Song's purpose in inciting Magneto to establish a country was precisely this. A joke of a mutant country, any politician with a bit of common sense wouldn't take it seriously.
If he could truly build it, it would undoubtedly be an excellent buffer zone.
Tang Song had already promised Magneto investment beforehand, offering to be responsible for helping him build the infrastructure, and even the security, of this new country.
Boss Tang promised that Magneto could hire mercenaries trained by their Tang Security Company at a low price.
Of course, the premise of their secret plotting was based on the spatial gate being held and the Chitauri being driven away.
The key point of the matters lay with the spatial gate before them.
This was also the reason Magneto intervened to prevent Thor from completely destroying this alien warship.
He wanted to leave some bargaining chips for the future establishment of the mutant Utopia. Of course, relying solely on some alien technology was naturally not enough.
Inside the Starship, now missing its top, Iron Dragon troop transports flew out from the upper section of the Starship one after another.
As soon as these Iron Dragons swam out of the Starship, they were met with focused fire from hundreds of fighter jets in the sky—
"Hulk!"
The enraged Hulk looked at these big guys, stomped his feet, launching himself dozens of meters into the air. He landed on an Iron Dragon troop transport and fiercely smashed its top with his fists.
Lightning flashed in the sky. Thor, who had just been swatted away, flew back with fierce momentum, his red cloak billowing behind him. Wielding Mjolnir, he brought forth large areas of lightning, corralling swathes of Iron Dragons. He didn't forget to turn back and give Magneto a provocative gaze.
However, Thor still underestimated the mutant's polarity. Magneto opened his hand towards an Iron Dragon troop transport. As he clenched his palm, that Iron Dragon troop transport was like something made of clay or paper. It was completely compressed by the powerful magnetic field, forcefully squeezed into a solid iron ball, which crashed to the ground with a clang.
"Cobra Commander!"
On the Chitauri Starship flagship on the other side of the spatial gate, several tall Chitauri cast their gaze towards their Leader, the Fleet Commander of this nomadic fleet.
"Thanos promised that as long as we take this place and get the Space Gem, he will grant us a habitable planet as our new mother planet and provide protection.
