Chapter 241: The Basilisk's Power (Second Update)
Chapter 241: The Basilisk's Power (Second Update)
177A Brick Street, top of the New York Sanctum.
"Master, are we just going to watch without doing anything?"
A black man in a strange black robe asked a bald woman wearing a bright yellow robe similar to a monk's.
The bald woman closed her eyes and moved her hands to her chest, where a green glowing eye-shaped necklace began to spin rapidly. After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes:
"There's no need. They can handle it. Mordo, go down and activate the Sanctum's magical array, and guard the entrance!"
"Yes, Master!"
The mage called Mordo seemed to trust the bald woman completely and left the rooftop without hesitation.
After Mordo left, the bald woman muttered to herself:
"Strange, why have the futures I've seen this year changed so much? But at least the outcomes are all moving in a positive direction!"
As the protector of Earth, the Ancient One used the Eye of Agamotto to peer into the future every so often to prevent other Dimensional Deities from threatening the planet. The future held countless possibilities and was constantly changing, but one could prepare in advance.
In the past year, the changes she had seen through the Eye of Agamotto were more significant than ever before, but since they were all moving in a positive direction, she had not been too concerned.
After all, her principle was to not interfere with external affairs unless they posed a direct threat to Earth's safety.
Of course, if the Chitauri soldiers' weapons attacked the Sanctum, she would certainly intervene and send them to their doom. This was why she was standing on the rooftop of the Sanctum.
"Very well, Asgard, your destruction is near. Chitauri Army, obey my command and kill them all!"
Seeing that Asgard had indeed sent troops to support, Ebony Maw understood Odin's stance. He raised the Mind Staff and was about to order a full assault.
However, at that moment, Jerry suddenly brought his twelve robot soldiers to a higher altitude and shouted loudly with the Sonorus Charm:
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. I have a big surprise for you!"
Ebony Maw and all the Chitauri soldiers were momentarily stunned and instinctively looked up at the ascending Jerry.
"Right now!"
Jerry opened the box, released the Basilisk, and used the Levitation Spell to suspend it in the air.
"Attack!"
At Jerry's command, the Basilisk's eyes locked onto Ebony Maw and the tens of thousands of Chitauri soldiers below.
Then, countless screams erupted simultaneously. The Chitauri soldiers in their flying machines seemed to be instantly cursed by some mysterious force, and they lost their lives in a matter of seconds.
Suddenly, the Chitauri soldiers and their flying machines began to rain down from the sky like dumplings.
This sudden and inexplicable attack not only terrified the new Chitauri soldiers still emerging from the wormhole but also stunned everyone, including Thor and all the reinforcements.
What was happening? How could so many of them die without any visible attack? It was too frightening!
"It's that giant snake. Don't look into its eyes. Focus your fire and take it down!"
At that moment, Ebony Maw's voice, filled with anger, echoed across the battlefield.
Whether it was due to the Mind Staff or his powerful mental abilities, the Basilisk's deadly gaze did not kill him outright. Instead, he let out a muffled groan and managed to counter it.
And he immediately discovered the Basilisk's method of attack.
At that moment, due to the Basilisk's lethal gaze, ninety percent of the Chitauri soldiers instantly perished. The remaining ten percent were mainly powerful space beasts and Chitauri soldiers within those beasts.
Of course, there was also a part of the new Chitauri soldiers who had just emerged from the black hole and hadn't seen the Basilisk's eyes yet.
Hearing Ebony Maw's command, all the Chitauri soldiers in the sky over New York immediately aimed their advanced alien weapons at the Basilisk and Jerry.
In an instant, countless laser beams converged on Jerry.
"Everyone, cast the Armor Spell to defend and protect the Basilisk!"
Seeing the numerous laser attacks flying towards them, Jerry immediately raised his wand and cast the Armor Spell, and the twelve robots beside him simultaneously cast the Armor Spell to protect the Basilisk.
"Don't just stand there, take them down!"
After quickly storing the Basilisk in the Box Space, Jerry shouted loudly to Thor and the others below who were still in shock.
Although the Basilisk's scales provided good defense, the Chitauri soldiers were armed with laser weapons. Such a concentrated attack would certainly kill the Basilisk instantly if it hit.
Jerry, of course, wouldn't let that happen, so he first stored the Basilisk in the Box Space.
The Basilisk's lethal gaze was effective for ambushes, but if the opponents were spread out and intentionally avoided looking at the Basilisk's eyes, its lethality was limited.
It was better to store the Basilisk in the Box Space and bring it out later to ambush the enemy.
"For the glory of Asgard, charge with me!"
Thor raised Mjolnir and roared, wearing his Thor armor and a red cape, charging towards the approaching Chitauri space beasts with a flamboyant flair.
"For the glory of Asgard!"
The Warriors Three and Goddess Sif raised their weapons and roared, charging with Thor.
Although the Asgardians were fond of using cold weapons, it didn't mean their technology was underdeveloped. On the contrary, their technological level was among the best in the universe.
Their golden ships were equipped with numerous powerful laser weapons.
However, the Asgardians' physical strength was so great that ordinary thermal weapons couldn't penetrate their defenses, and using cold weapons better showcased their prowess.
Despite the Basilisk having killed ninety percent of the Chitauri soldiers, there were still several thousand Chitauri soldiers and at least ten Chitauri space beasts on the field.
The Asgardians, on the other hand, numbered only a thousand.
But these thousand Asgardians were almost overwhelming the thousands of Chitauri soldiers, who were constantly increasing in number, leaving them with little ability to fight back.
It was only the few space beasts that posed a significant threat to the Asgardian army.
After Thor charged, Tony didn't sit idle. Learning from Jerry that the Mind Staff was needed to close the Spatial Channel, he immediately launched an attack on Ebony Maw.
However, Tony, in his Mark VI armor, was clearly overpowered by Ebony Maw. After a few rounds, he was buried under a torrent of metal and mud, falling into Stark Tower below.
"Go down and rescue the citizens who haven't evacuated yet!"
Jerry commanded the twelve robot soldiers behind him.
"Yes, Master!"
The twelve robot soldiers, each armed with various weapons, instantly activated their cloaking mode and flapped their metal wings, dispersing like angels and flying down below.
