Chapter Summaries

Ye Mo destroyed the mothership's core, triggering a hidden weapons program that launched attacks on New York. Injured and unable to stop the cannons, he watched a plasma beam fire toward the city.

• Ye Mo breached the energy sphere protecting the core, causing it to collapse in an explosion that injured him.
• The mothership activated its hidden weapon arrays, and Ye Mo realized Loki had prepared a destructive counterattack.
• Ye Mo escaped Sector B-7 through the ventilation ducts as the mothership fired its first barrage at New York.
• Ye Mo intercepted a brief Asgardian communication signal and discovered the cannons were charging again to target the civilian defensive line.
• Ye Mo reached the outer deck as the mothership's power system failed, but he could not stop a plasma beam from shooting toward the ground.

Ye Mo discovered that an unknown Asgardian force was pulling the damaged mothership toward a gravitational anomaly and warned Tony to stay clear. With the distortion growing and Tony unable to stop the ship, Ye Mo decided to confront the anomaly despite his injuries.

• Ye Mo contacted Emma and sent her to help Thor while he tried to reach Tony.
• Ye Mo noticed the mothership climbing despite its destroyed core and saw Chitauri soldiers evacuating.
• Ye Mo detected an Asgardian magical resonance and a gravitational anomaly five kilometers ahead of the mothership.
• Ye Mo warned Tony that an external force was pulling the ship, but Tony's armor was damaged and the gravity field disrupted his flight.
• Ye Mo told Emma he was going after the anomaly and moved toward the deck's edge despite being injured.

Wounded and pursued by Chitauri elites, Ye Mo escaped through the damaged mothership and discovered a rhythmic gravitational anomaly near its bow. After sending Emma Frost a warning about the anomaly, he leapt toward it, but his grappling line snapped as he neared the broken platform.

• Ye Mo used a burned circuit board to trigger an electromagnetic pulse, then phased through several bulkheads to evade the Chitauri elites.
• Ye Mo noticed his blood and a scrap of cloth drifting toward a steady gravitational anomaly that resembled an Asgardian signal.
• Ye Mo activated Steel Bone Shield to survive flying debris and spotted distorted space beyond the mothership's broken observation dome.
• Ye Mo sent Emma Frost a message about Polaris, a frequency of 13.7 hertz, and possible remnants of an Asgard seal.
• Ye Mo anchored himself with a broken energy conduit, jumped from the dome, and swung toward the anomaly, but the grappling line snapped.

Ye Mo used a damaged Chitauri thruster to race toward Tony, who was carrying a nuclear missile into space while its countdown was being triggered remotely. Ye Mo reached Tony's signal range just as the thruster died and began to fall, leaving Tony to catch him.

• Tony told Ye Mo that the missile's fuse was activating and its control system was inaccessible, so Ye Mo identified remote interference and directed Tony to bypass the backup circuit.
• Ye Mo found a damaged Chitauri aircraft, removed its power unit, and rigged it into a makeshift thruster despite his injuries.
• Ye Mo analyzed the missile's temperature readings and told Tony to use a reverse negative wave to cancel the signal, temporarily stabilizing the missile.
• Ye Mo flew toward Tony through the clouds as his thruster ran low, while Tony warned him to stay away and said he would handle the missile alone.
• The thruster died when Ye Mo was still falling short of Tony, so Ye Mo called out, "Catch me."

As Ye Mo fell through the sky, he sensed Tony’s signal vanish and realized Tony was being used to unlock a passage rather than simply carry the nuclear missile. Ye Mo detected Tony’s familiar pulse, then activated Regenerative Phasing as he neared the clouds.

• Ye Mo tried to reach Tony through a psychic link, but a strange energy fluctuation cut off Tony’s signal.
• Ye Mo struggled to combine Wade’s Healing Factor with Shadowcat’s Wall Phasing Technique, forcing open the nineteenth floor of the Gene Spiral Tower.
• Ye Mo recognized an Asgardian royal frequency and realized Tony had been set up as the final link in a mechanism that would release a seal.
• Ye Mo plunged toward the clouds and detected Tony’s familiar double-tap pulse, confirming that Tony was alive.
• The nineteenth floor opened, and Regenerative Phasing activated as Ye Mo’s right hand became translucent and passed through his left arm.

Ye Mo and Thor fought to hold a New York square against the Chitauri while Tony remained alive near the mothership. They disabled the attackers for the moment and prepared to keep defending the area as the race to save Tony and stop the nuclear missile continued.

• Ye Mo landed near Thor, warned him of an ambush through the Mental Network, and used Telepathy to help him counter the Chitauri soldiers.
• Thor unleashed lightning attacks that wiped out groups of Chitauri while Ye Mo called out enemy movements and helped control the battlefield.
• Ye Mo and Thor agreed to hold the square and keep the Chitauri away from nearby buildings and civilians.
• Ye Mo used Steel Bone Body to stop a fleeing aircraft from reaching residential buildings, then Thor helped him back to his feet.
• Ye Mo took a position on the mall roof and monitored the area while Thor released a powerful wave of electricity that disabled the remaining Chitauri units.
• Ye Mo and Thor found no immediate new enemy movements, but Thor insisted they had to keep holding the square while Tony was still alive and the nuclear missile remained a threat.

Ye Mo and Thor fought off Chitauri attacks while uncovering an artificial gravitational force linked to an Asgardian World Tree Anchor. With the immediate assault scattered, Ye Mo's phasing began destabilizing again as they faced the threat that the Anchor could open a passage to the Nine Realms.

• Ye Mo warned Thor of a three-way Chitauri ambush, and Thor feigned weakness before striking the attacking squads with lightning.
• Ye Mo alerted Thor to an assault vehicle and two aircraft, and Thor destroyed them while Ye Mo noticed the Chitauri were rotating fresh squads into the fight.
• Ye Mo activated rune resonance and traced the mothership's artificial gravitational force to a point on the ground, recognizing a pattern like the World Tree Anchor.
• Ye Mo crushed an explosive canister and warned Thor about five Chitauri suicide soldiers, and Thor swept them away from the city center with Mjolnir.
• Ye Mo explained that the Anchor could open a passage to anywhere in the Nine Realms, and Thor confirmed that its force was unnatural.
• Ye Mo's right hand turned transparent again, spreading rapidly up his arm.

Ye Mo, Emma Frost, and Thor endured a Chitauri bombardment inside Emma’s force-field shield and turned the attackers’ attempt to exploit a weak spot against them. As a new convoy of heavy transport ships approached, they prepared to strike, but Emma suddenly told them to wait.

• Ye Mo struggled with his phasing injury while Thor stood guard and Chitauri assault vehicles prepared to attack.
• Emma Frost arrived, raised a crystalline wall, and protected Ye Mo and Thor with a force-field shield as the Chitauri bombarded them.
• Ye Mo detected Tony’s weakening but approaching signal and warned Thor not to charge while the enemy tried to wear them down.
• Ye Mo and Emma Frost let the Chitauri target a weakened part of the shield, then Thor destroyed two aircraft and five assault vehicles with Ye Mo’s guidance.
• The surviving Chitauri retreated, but a new convoy of heavy transport ships approached with shock cannons.
• As the ships closed in and their cannons charged, Emma Frost began gathering the shield’s energy at the front, then suddenly told Ye Mo and Thor to wait.

After the Chitauri withdrew, Ye Mo and the others realized Loki’s apparent defeat was a feint tied to a hidden underground control system and possibly an undestroyed nuclear missile. As Tony flew to inspect the mothership, Ye Mo spotted a countdown carved at the underground entrance.

• Emma Frost lowered her shield, and Ye Mo warned that the Chitauri had withdrawn rather than been defeated.
• Ye Mo, Emma Frost, and Thor deduced that Loki was underground and that a backup system could restart the invasion through the portal.
• Tony returned after diverting the nuclear missile, then agreed to watch the mothership while the others investigated the underground system.
• Ye Mo found traces of burned Asgardian runes and suspected Loki was waiting for them, so the group chose to study the system before entering.
• Ye Mo warned Tony that the missile might have survived and could serve as an energy source for Loki’s plan.
• Ye Mo noticed a string of numbers, 04:17:33, carved into the wall by the underground passage entrance and counting down.

Ye Mo discovered that Loki was opening a portal to summon powerful Scavengers Troops, while a magical barrier cut him off from his teammates. As Ye Mo prepared to disrupt the ritual, the lead warrior warned him and appeared to be waiting to collect someone.

• Ye Mo sensed a portal in an underground control room and recognized the approaching beings as Scavengers Troops summoned by Loki.
• Ye Mo found that a magical barrier blocked communications, then sent his teammates a recording over a backup frequency.
• Ye Mo disrupted the portal’s energy with psychic noise and tried to interfere with the ritual using bricks, but magic struck back at him.
• Seven armored warriors emerged, and Ye Mo attempted to activate Regenerative Phasing with a piece of vibranium.
• The lead warrior cut the ground in front of Ye Mo as a warning, then held out its hand as if waiting to pick someone up.

Tony Stark, Thor, Emma Frost, and Ye Mo fought the Scavengers' escalating reinforcements as the enemy deployed concussion cannons aimed at the city. With his allies battered and the cannons nearly charged, Ye Mo combined his abilities with Thor's lightning and prepared to lead the next attack.

• Tony Stark and Thor arrived in time to help Ye Mo escape the black-armored warriors, and Emma Frost joined them to form a defensive line.
• The four fought coordinated Scavenger units while Tony provided decoys and targeting support, Thor used lightning, and Ye Mo disabled a concussion cannon's power cable.
• A second echelon deployed heavier cannons, and Tony absorbed and redirected one blast while Thor disrupted the weapons' charging process.
• Three black-armored warriors wounded Thor and trapped Ye Mo, but Tony cut their communications, letting Thor knock them down with Mjolnir.
• Emma Frost collapsed from her injuries, Tony's armor ran low on power, and the Scavengers' cannons began charging again.
• Ye Mo received the system's recommended ability combination, borrowed lightning from Thor, and watched vibranium resonance make his right arm transparent before announcing that he would take the lead.

Ye Mo identified the black-armored warriors’ synchronized movement as vulnerable to electromagnetic and vibrational interference, then devised Buzzing Protocol to disrupt their coordination. He sent Tony, Thor, and Emma Frost an encrypted plan with a seven-second countdown, but a dark silhouette swept overhead just as Tony moved into position.

• Ye Mo analyzed battle recordings and concluded that lightning and electromagnetic shocks had briefly disrupted the enemy’s external synchronization signal.
• Ye Mo created Buzzing Protocol, a pulse using vibranium resonance and conducted lightning, and planned to combine it with Tony’s electromagnetic pulse, Thor’s thunder, and Emma Frost’s reflected waves.
• Ye Mo sent his teammates the plan and a seven-second countdown, then waited in cover as three black-armored warriors approached.
• Ye Mo began connecting the four teammates through the psychic network as the oscillation cannon prepared to fire.
• Tony’s thrusters roared from the southeast, but a dark silhouette swept overhead before Ye Mo could give the order.

Ye Mo escaped to the B3 underground parking garage and devised a plan to disrupt the enemy soldiers’ synchronized movements using a coordinated resonance wave. He assembled Tony, Thor, and Emma Frost, and the chapter ended as they prepared to act on his command.

• Ye Mo detected that a signal was coordinating the enemy soldiers, canceled the Buzzing Protocol, and ordered the others to meet at the B3 underground parking garage.
• Ye Mo captured the enemy’s neural synchronization waveform and used a wrecked police car’s antenna to amplify his recorder’s signal.
• Tony, Thor, and Emma Frost arrived at the garage, and Ye Mo explained that the enemy’s coordination could be disrupted by striking its weak frequency.
• Ye Mo assigned Tony an electromagnetic pulse, Thor a low-frequency thunderstorm, Emma Frost a reflected energy wave, and himself a precisely timed vibranium discharge.
• Tony, Thor, and Emma Frost agreed to follow Ye Mo’s lead, and Ye Mo started the recorder and told them to wait for his command.

Ye Mo coordinated Tony, Thor, and Emma Frost in a plan to disrupt their synchronized enemies with a precisely timed combination of electromagnetic interference, thunder, and Vibranium resonance. The team took their positions and activated the countdown, but the attack had not yet begun.

• Ye Mo explained that the team could exploit the enemies’ synchronized movements by combining their different energy sources within a 0.3-second window.
• Tony, Thor, and Emma Frost agreed to follow Ye Mo’s plan and confirmed their abilities and readiness.
• Ye Mo assigned Tony to release an electromagnetic pulse, Thor to create a low-frequency thunderstorm, Emma Frost to amplify its shockwave, and himself to strike the coordination hub with the Vibranium plate.
• The four took positions in a diamond formation in the parking garage as Ye Mo prepared to lead the attack.
• Tony asked if the plan would work, and Ye Mo said they had to try before pressing the activation button.
• The lights flickered, Thor’s hammer lifted, Emma Frost’s skin crystallized, and Tony’s armor glowed as Ye Mo prepared to give the final command.

Ye Mo coordinated Tony, Thor, and Emma Frost to synchronize their attacks and release a Vibranium-powered buzzing wave that disrupted the Chitauri forces. The enemy assault stalled, but a command ship began turning to flee, and Ye Mo warned that the battle was not over.

• Ye Mo directed Tony, Thor, and Emma Frost to maintain their roles while he waited for their electromagnetic, thunderstorm, and amplification signals to align.
• Tony fought Chitauri aircraft, Thor battled ground forces, and Emma Frost disrupted enemy transports while Ye Mo tracked the signals from behind cover.
• Emma Frost reported countermeasures, but Ye Mo told her to hold the original frequency as the three signals converged.
• Tony, Thor, and Emma Frost synchronized their attacks at the peak, and Ye Mo triggered the Vibranium plate to release the buzzing wave.
• The Chitauri aircraft and warriors faltered, and Ye Mo signaled the others to withdraw.
• Ye Mo saw a Chitauri command ship turning away and said the enemy was trying to run.

Ye Mo and his team crippled the Chitauri forces by disrupting their communications, weapons, and coordination, turning the battle from defense into pursuit. After Ye Mo stopped a technician from restoring communications, the team prepared to attack the still-stalled command ship.

• Ye Mo used Buzzing Wave to cut off the Chitauri command ship’s communications, and Tony, Thor, and Emma Frost seized the opening to attack.
• Tony damaged the command ship and disrupted its aircraft formation, while Thor destroyed a heavy cannon and Emma disabled enemy weapons and coordination.
• Ye Mo used the scorched vibranium device to destroy the enemy’s power towers and temporary command-post antenna.
• The team regrouped with the command ship still immobilized, and Ye Mo told Tony to watch the skies, Thor to clear the field, and Emma to rest.
• Ye Mo spotted and stopped a Chitauri technician trying to rebuild communications, then declared that the team would attack as a red light flashed on the command ship.

Ye Mo combined his abilities to unleash precise, devastating lightning attacks against the Chitauri, crippling their forces and destroying their command structure. Exhausted but still standing, he left the remaining enemies hiding or retreating.

• Ye Mo used Steel Bone Shield and the electrical energy he had absorbed to send lightning through the ground, destroying three assault vehicles and incapacitating nearby Chitauri.
• Ye Mo struck an enemy assembly area with a powerful lightning column, killing several armored warriors and disabling the rest.
• Ye Mo tracked and destroyed a repair vehicle, a communications technician, and the figure carrying a command baton, then continued striking enemy soldiers with precise bolts.
• Ye Mo combined lightning with a trace of Shadowcat's ability to bypass a shield formation and kill the Chitauri commander they were protecting.
• The surviving Chitauri stopped advancing, hid, or withdrew as Ye Mo stood amid the ruins, ready to strike again.

Ye Mo, Tony, Thor, and Emma Frost crushed the Chitauri forces, but Ye Mo realized Loki had manipulated the battle and was still waiting in a nearby high-rise. The four regrouped and held their position, waiting for Loki to make his move.

• Ye Mo recovered from his lightning attack and confirmed that the Chitauri forces had lost their organization and stopped resisting.
• Tony destroyed the last enemy aircraft, while Thor and Emma Frost joined Ye Mo in securing the battlefield.
• Ye Mo sensed residual green energy from the high-rise and concluded that Loki had controlled the timing of the battle to guide them into position.
• Ye Mo warned Tony, Thor, and Emma Frost not to split up or pursue the enemy, and the four formed a defensive formation.
• A green light flashed in a top-floor window of the high-rise and then vanished.

Loki arrived after the Chitauri Army's defeat and attacked Ye Mo with powerful magic. Ye Mo survived the assault and used a piece of vibranium to scratch Loki's armor, leaving their confrontation unresolved.

• Loki descended from a ruined building and attacked Ye Mo with green energy beams.
• Ye Mo dodged Loki's attacks and realized that the scepter's magic threatened his consciousness.
• Loki taunted Ye Mo and began casting a sealing spell to trap and suppress him.
• Ye Mo used his telepathy to evade a mind-targeting beam, then raised a piece of vibranium against Loki's spell.
• The vibranium reflected a thin silver ray that scratched Loki's armor, surprising him.

Ye Mo’s regeneration rapidly healed the wounds Loki inflicted, forcing Loki to recognize him as a threat. As Loki prepared a much stronger blast, Ye Mo braced himself and stepped toward it.

• Ye Mo felt his body regenerating after Loki’s attacks and stood up despite his injuries.
• Loki fired another powerful beam, and Ye Mo endured it as his chest wound closed within seconds.
• Loki trapped Ye Mo in three Asgardian light nets and struck him repeatedly, but Ye Mo healed each wound and remained standing.
• Loki asked what Ye Mo was, and Ye Mo said Loki should have killed him earlier.
• Loki gathered a stronger beam and vowed to keep attacking until Ye Mo could no longer recover.
• Ye Mo braced himself and stepped toward Loki’s beam as it fired.
