Chapter 60: Domain Expansion

Using the Mind Stone, Alex controls Dr. Banner, forcing him to transform into the Hulk and allowing various symbiotes to bond with him. Although the symbiotes cannot inherit the Hulk's ability to grow stronger with anger, even a brief bonding enhances the symbiotes' power significantly.

Before long, Alex has taken control of all the agents aboard the Helicarrier, altering their minds and commanding them to acknowledge him as their master.

Whether it was Hydra or the remnants of S.H.I.E.L.D., they all now serve as Alex's personal organization, the "Alex Shield."

With complete control over S.H.I.E.L.D. and Loki, Alex is fully capable of preventing the Chitauri army from invading Earth. However, he has no intention of stopping them; the Chitauri army will serve as perfect targets to test the effectiveness of his newly acquired ability, "Infinite Void." Additionally, he wants to evaluate the strength of the heroes now bonded with symbiotes.

Time flies by, and soon the dark night gives way to the scorching sun, once again enveloping the world in its warmth.

After establishing the "Alex Shield" on the Helicarrier, Alex doesn't linger. He uses a portal to return to his villa, where he chooses to spend time with fiery actresses instead of the brute Hulk.

After initially enjoying the services of Agent Hill and several actresses, Alex redirects all his focus to absorbing energy and enhancing his template fusion.

Through a night of hard work, his template fusion finally advances:

[Energy Point +1]

[Template Fusion: 80%]

[You have unlocked a new skill: Infinite Void!]

[Infinite Void lv1 (1/100): Drag your opponent into an infinite inner space, forcing their brain to repeat countless 'perceptions' and 'transmissions' in order to survive. This generates a massive amount of irrelevant information, causing the brain to shut down, leaving them standing helplessly. Only those touched by the host are unaffected!]

The vast amount of information flowing into his brain far surpasses anything he has encountered before. Yet, Alex effortlessly processes and absorbs it all, thanks to his upgraded Six Eyes ability, now at lv4.

After fully digesting the information, Alex is ready to deploy the Domain Expansion at will. Moreover, due to his energy absorption skill, unlike in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, where domain expansion is a rare occurrence, he can now repeat the expansion multiple times a day—given sufficient energy.

Alex then refocuses on his system panel. Upon reaching 80% template fusion, he unlocked the "Infinite Void." This appears to be Gojo Satoru's ultimate ability, and when he reaches 100% template fusion, he should unlock a new character template.

Who could this new character be?

Alex has a strong intuition that when he hits 100% fusion, beyond just acquiring a new character template, there will be another significant breakthrough waiting for him.

Closing the system panel, Alex dismisses the hot actresses nearby. He waves his hand, opens a portal, and returns to the Helicarrier.

Since he already controls Loki, Black Widow immediately approaches him to report:

"The portal is ready, and the spacecraft is set. We can begin our counterattack against the Chitauri army anytime!"

Alex nods in approval and proceeds to the Helicarrier's command center, where everyone is already in position.

Glancing at the symbiote-bonded heroes and assessing their physical strength through his Six Eyes, Alex smiles in satisfaction:

"When the portal opens, board the spacecraft and infiltrate the Chitauri mothership. Destroy everything in your path!"

"Yes, sir!" all the symbiote-bonded heroes respond in unison.

Alex's gaze lingers on Dr. Banner, now bonded with the Riot symbiote. Riot, which previously bonded with Loki, has even absorbed the Frost Giant's constitution. Alex is eager to see how the Frost Giant Hulk will perform in the upcoming battle.

Before opening the portal, Alex contacts Tony Stark by phone. Amid the chaotic noises in the background, he curiously asks, "Tony, where are you right now?"

Tony replies, "I'm in Kamar-Taj... Sorry, the signal here is terrible. Let me find a better spot..." The sound of sparks flying is heard, then Tony's voice becomes clearer, "I'm discussing my new magic-powered armor with the Sorcerer Supreme. The prototype is ready; we just need to test it!"

Hearing this, Alex smiles mysteriously, "Well, there's a perfect testing opportunity right now. We're about to launch an attack on one of the major cosmic forces—the Chitauri. Want to join?"

Tony responds, confused "What the—?!"

Ignoring Tony's shock, Alex continues, "If you're interested, head back to Stark Tower. That will be our first battlefield."

"Wait, Stark Tower?" Tony tries to say more, but Alex has already ended the call. He turns to Loki and orders, "Tell Dr. Selvig to open the portal!"

Simultaneously, Alex waves his hand, opening a portal to allow Captain America, Dr. Banner, and the others to pass through, with Alex being the last to step through.

The portal transports Alex and his team to the top of Stark Tower, where Dr. Selvig activates the device.

With a loud hum, the Tesseract's immense power is unleashed, a brilliant blue beam shooting into the sky, piercing through the clouds, and gradually opening a massive portal above.

As Alex looks up at the slowly expanding portal, he smirks coldly.

"This is my planet. And these Chitauri fools dare to invade? It's time to show them what real power looks like, hahaha!"

Meanwhile, the scene draws the attention of the entire city of New York. In the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters, Beast Hank McCoy stares at his instruments, which register energy levels beyond the limit of any known Omega-level mutant.

He quickly turns to Professor X and says, "Professor, there's an enormous energy surge coming from Stark Tower. It seems like a portal to somewhere has been opened!"

Professor X places his fingers on his temples, using his powers to tap into the mind of a bystander near Stark Tower, seeing the portal opening in the sky through their eyes.

He immediately instructs Beast, "Hank, alert Jean and the others. The X-Men need to mobilize!"

At the same time, in a distant corner of the universe, a colossal Titan sits on a throne, sensing something. He turns his gaze towards the planet known as Earth.

Beside him, the slender Ebony Maw bows respectfully to the purple-skinned Titan, "Lord Thanos, this is the first step in your glorious conquest!"
