People controlled by the Mind Stone are not beyond recovery; in the original work, Hawkeye, who was knocked out by Black Widow, and Loki, who was tossed around like a toy by Hulk, both prove that such control can be reversed.
After Lin Fan smashed Loki to the ground, his blue eyes receded to green, which was his original eye color.
Loki, looking bewildered, tried to get up.
Lin Fan waved his hand, and sword shadows appeared, trapping Loki within a sword formation, and he looked down, saying, "You think you're cooperating with Thanos? You're just being controlled by Thanos with the Mind Stone; otherwise, do you think he would be so generous as to give you an Infinity Stone to use? Everything you've done has been at Thanos's secret instigation... Useless."
"Impossible... No... Give me back the Mind Stone... Ah!" Loki was distraught, and seeing the Mind Stone in Lin Fan's hand, he tried to seize it again.
But Lin Fan used the power of the Tesseract to suppress Loki to the ground, scoffing, "Anyway, Infinity Stones are useless in your hands, but if you want it, tell Thanos to come get it himself."
Although Loki possessed powerful mental energy, in front of the Tesseract, it was as distant as the ends of the earth, even if it was close at hand, he couldn't touch Lin Fan. "Why is your use of the Tesseract's power a hundred times stronger than all of Asgard? Who exactly are you?!"
The Tesseract originally belonged to Odin. As the King of Gods, Odin's treasury contained many secret treasures from various Worlds. The Tesseract, as one of the Space Stones, was created by Odin to be the key to open the Bifrost Bridge, connecting the Nine Worlds.
Proportionally speaking, even Odin, the King of Gods, could only unleash 0.1% of the Space Stone's effect. But now, Lin Fan, through the Zerg Base, can unleash a powerful 0.2% effect.
Loki, with his sixth-tier physical quality and eighth-tier mental energy, should have crushed Lin Fan, but in front of the Space Stone, he couldn't inflict any damage on Lin Fan.
However, to truly utilize the power of the Tesseract, a Power Orb is also required; otherwise, with Lin Fan's current energy intensity, even merely guiding the use of this Infinity Stone would quickly drain and exhaust him.
When Loki was about to chant a powerful forbidden spell, intending to destroy the barrier Lin Fan created with the Space Stone, Lin Fan immediately used the Tesseract to throw Loki onto an unknown Planet.
Because Lin Fan didn't know the coordinates, he had no idea which Planet Loki was teleported to.
At this time, the Cutter, Jumper, and Tank Worms were all fighting independently; having lost the command of their warriors, their simple intelligence, which had been suppressed, began to assert itself, but this made their previously concentrated offensive scattered.
The Cutters were no longer continuously charging at Lin Fan, but instead aimlessly wandering in mid-air. The Jumpers no longer pushed towards the Quarantine Yellow Zone but were attracted by the Python Legion.
As for the Tank Worms, previously hidden as a trump card, they could no longer contain their violent emotions, burrowing out from beneath the ground and unleashing aimless concentrated flame waves in all directions.
Scarlet Witch then arrived on an Overlord, saying, "Dominator, Zerg Queen Scarlet Witch has arrived to report."
Lin Fan embraced Wanda by her slender waist and said, "Scarlet Witch, change the rules of reality here, reverse heaven and earth, unbalance gravity, and also... don't hurt our allies."
"As you command, Dominator." Scarlet Witch's delicate hand condensed Chaos magic, changing the gravity here, but only applying it to the Arachnid.
Immediately, the Cutters in the air crashed into the ground like heavy objects.
The Jumpers were also unable to leap more than half a meter.
Under the suppression of the powerful gravity field, these two extremely difficult-to-deal-with Arachnid were crushed into meat paste by the Python Legion.
The Tank Worms' concentrated flame waves could not attack normally under the influence of gravity; their stomach acid would be directly pressed to the ground. As for the Tank Worms' size, any subordinate of the Golden Python Queen was larger than them, so the final victory was without suspense.
Ding! Eliminated the Arachnid vanguard.
Reward: Zerg branch unit, Mutated Combat Bodies.
Mutated Combat Bodies: The Zerg have survived countless cycles of Reincarnation in the Universe, and through continuous conquest, plunder, and slaughter, the essence of the Zerg has undergone a mutation. This is a terrifying and infectious Zerg virus that rapidly transforms the host's body structure, turning them into the most efficient biochemical weapons. (All active Zerg units can secrete this Zerg virus.)
Lin Fan thought to himself, this is the Zerg version of Resident Evil; upon landing on an enemy Planet, through Zerg infection, it can greatly disrupt the enemy's forces and quickly gain a large number of cannon fodder to assist the Zerg's occupation.
The Moon Goddess, who had been captured by the Arachnid, was recovered by Lin Fan, and then he prepared to return to the Red Zone to support Zagara in confronting the second wave of Arachnid.
Over on Zagara's side.
From the Space Rift, this time all that appeared were Arachnid Big Claws. Whether this was the Matriarch's confidence or dissatisfaction with the Chitauri, it was an advantage for Lin Fan.
550,000 Splitters against 800,000 Big Claws!!
Splitters possess second-tier physical strength and mental energy. Big Claws only have second-tier physical strength and first-tier mental energy.
Although Big Claws had a numerical advantage, Splitters had higher overall quality.
The Splitters held their ground outside the Space Rift; Big Claws surged out from within and attacked. In terms of size, Big Claws still had the advantage, but in bone density, Splitters were definitely stronger.
Big Claws could use their pincers to break the Splitters' bodies, but the Splitters' Claws could instantly pierce the Big Claws' exoskeletons.
Just like the scene when Water and Fire meet, the Big Claws, being blocked near the Space Rift, could not fully utilize their numerical advantage, allowing the Splitters to continuously eliminate them.
Although both sides were rapidly depleting, the Splitters' strength was not primarily in frontal confrontation; their miniature hatchlings were the trump card.
Therefore, Death was not an issue for Splitters at all; more Splitters would use the corpses of their comrades to produce more miniature hatchlings, continuously replenishing the demands of the front-line confrontation.
At the same time, the corpses of the Big Claws were also providing nourishment for the Splitters, allowing the Splitters' numbers to even grow rapidly as one side diminished and the other grew.
