"What's going on?"
Inside the command hall of the Chitauri mothership, the Chitauri Elder frowned as he heard the alarm blare.
A Chitauri Soldier pulled up the surveillance footage and reported, "Elder, it seems a human has infiltrated the mothership."
"A human? Have the nearby Soldiers go deal with him."
The Chitauri Elder waved the scepter in his hand.
He had originally thought this operation would be very smooth, as, according to his intelligence, Earthlings' technological level was extremely low, unable even to leave their Planet, still stuck on the surface.
However, he hadn't expected to be subjected to fierce attacks from an unknown entity so soon after the space portal opened.
Even now, he still didn't know what exactly was blocking the other end of the portal; the powerful Fire and lightning made it impossible for his Soldiers to enter Earth through the wormhole.
Could Asgard have sent someone over?
But logically, that shouldn't be the case, because My Lord Thanos had already personally led people to feign an attack on the Dwarven World, one of the Nine Realms. Logically, if the Asgardian army were to mobilize, they should go to the Dwarven World first.
The Dwarves are a World truly subordinate to Asgard; most of the Asgardian army's weapons are forged by the Dwarves, and Asgard has an obligation to protect the Dwarven World from invasion.
At this moment, all of the Chitauri Elder's attention was focused on the wormhole entrance; he was still unaware that the true crisis had already arrived inside the mothership.
However, this process evidently didn't last long; in fact, it only lasted a few seconds before the alarm in the entire command hall suddenly increased tenfold.
And when he had a Soldier pull up the virtual image from the surveillance, his pupils instantly constricted, and he let out an incredulous cry.
"How is this possible? How can Earthlings be so powerful!"
"Morning Peacock!"
Listening to the piercing alarms blaring inside the mothership, and the faintly appearing dense rows of Chitauri Soldiers holding laser guns in front of him, Li Chuan's lips curled into a smile. He raised his hand and unleashed the taijutsu corresponding to the Sixth Gate of the Eight Gates.
Countless flames flew out, directly obliterating the Chitauri Soldiers who hadn't even managed to get close, while also causing considerable damage to the area around the mothership.
His goal was to destroy this massive mothership as quickly as possible, so what he needed to do next was very simple: destruction, insane destruction, destroying to the best of his ability.
After unleashing Morning Peacock to wipe out two squads of Chitauri Soldiers, Li Chuan deactivated his Eight Gates mode and took out the elder wand again.
Although the Eight Gates is powerful, the strain on the body is also very great. Even in his Second Form, he couldn't maintain the Eight Gates indefinitely, and Chakra consumed couldn't be replenished that quickly.
Therefore, in situations that aren't particularly dangerous, it's still best to use magic for attacks as much as possible.
"Fiendfyre!"
Waving his wand, blue flames spewed forth, transforming into a Fire Dragon that flew into the large hole leading into the mothership that he had just created with Morning Peacock.
His Fiendfyre Curse was certainly not as terrifying as Grindelwald's, but he could already control it freely, to the point where it wouldn't harm himself.
And Fiendfyre is different from other flames; as dark magic, it has a certain consciousness and will continue to burn, and ordinary methods cannot extinguish it at all.
Unless a powerful counter-spell like the one used in Paris before is employed, or the burning parts are physically cut off for isolation.
Normally, when he unleashed the Fiendfyre Curse inside the mothership, given enough time, it could eventually burn down the entire mothership completely. However, due to the mothership's enormous size, it would inevitably take a long time, which could lead to unforeseen circumstances.
For example, if the Chitauri could manage to cut off parts of the mothership, it could still function normally.
Or perhaps some Chitauri technology could use special methods to eliminate Fiendfyre.
Don't underestimate the advanced technological powers in the Universe; although magic is wondrous, fundamentally, both magic and technology lead to the same destination, just expressed in different ways.
Earthlings find magic very mysterious and incomprehensible simply because Earth's technology has not yet reached the level where it can analyze magic.
Just like the Apparition he uses, some high-tech can also achieve it, and can even create special interference devices to disrupt space, causing magic to fail.
As long as technology is advanced enough, all magic can actually be achieved through technology, and can also be dispelled by technology.
There are many paths to power, but their ultimate destination is the same.
So after releasing Fiendfyre, he still resolutely walked towards the central position of the mothership.
He didn't know where the mothership's core was, nor did he capture any Chitauri Soldiers to interrogate, mainly because even if he did, he wouldn't understand what they were saying. But heading towards the center was definitely the right thing to do.
"Explosion!"
An Explosion Spell blasted open the sealed metal door in front, and waiting for him were the laser shots from the Chitauri Soldiers guarding behind the metal door.
"Shield Charm!"
Having already prepared the Shield Charm to block the lasers, he waved his wand again:
"Fire God's Path Opening!"
Surging flames spewed forth, burning all those Chitauri Soldiers to death.
"Fiendfyre!"
He threw out another Fiendfyre Fire Dragon, leaving it behind to continue burning.
In this way, Li Chuan, relying on the Wizard Bloodline's ability to endlessly convert magic, alternately used Explosion Spell, Shield Charm, Fire God's Path Opening, and Fiendfyre Curse. Wherever he went, it was a sea of Fire.
"There's no one who can fight."
This was Li Chuan's assessment of the Chitauri.
To be honest, while the Chitauri's weapons seem quite advanced compared to Earth's, their Soldiers' physiques are actually not much stronger than Earthlings', and they are considered to be at the bottom of the Universe.
Therefore, the Chitauri are also Thanos's cannon fodder army, just as Rocket said, notoriously weak in the Universe.
Li Chuan even felt that Thanos might not have expected the Chitauri Soldiers to return when he sent them over, after all, even in the original plot, because the Bifrost Bridge was broken, Odin couldn't bring his army to Earth, but the Ancient One was still there.
Perhaps Thanos just wanted the Chitauri Soldiers to act as cannon fodder, secretly taking away the Space Stone while probing Earth's depth, and never actually intended to conquer Earth solely with the Chitauri.
Of course, Li Chuan didn't know exactly what Thanos was thinking; he was just guessing.
But that was good too; at least his mission would be much easier.
Cutting a path through with magic, he quickly pushed his way to the central position of the mothership, which was also the mothership's command hall, and saw the mothership's Commander, the Chitauri Elder.
The Chitauri Elder angrily pointed his scepter at Li Chuan:
"Kaba Apaxi Wu Mala."
"Uh, would you mind speaking Chinese, or English? Sokovian would also work."
Listening to the Chitauri Elder's strange, insect-like language, Li Chuan couldn't help but tilt his head.
