The air in the base was thick with the acrid stench of blood and fear, and the distant echoes of screams and gunfire reverberated through the dark corridors. The creatures continued their relentless carnage, their telepathic link allowing them to strike as one terrifying entity. Their exoskeletons glistened with fresh blood, and their eyes, cold and unfeeling, sought out their next victims.
The Alphas commanded their brethren with ruthless efficiency, their specialized abilities carving a bloody path through the base. A group of soldiers, their faces twisted in terror and determination, fought desperately against the onslaught. Bullets flew, tearing through the bodies of the bloodied monsters, but for every creature that fell, countless more took its place.
The soldiers' heartbeats thundered in their ears, their breath coming in ragged gasps as they struggled to hold their ground. The scent of fear was palpable, their sweat mingling with the metallic tang of blood as the creatures closed in. In the midst of the chaos, one of the Alphas emerged, its psychokinetic powers lifting debris and hurling it at the soldiers with lethal force.
They scattered, their screams drowned out by the cacophony of the battlefield. Another Alpha, its telepathic prowess unmatched, delved into the minds of the remaining soldiers, sowing confusion and terror in their ranks. Their mental defenses crumbled, leaving them vulnerable and exposed to the relentless assault. As the soldiers were torn apart, their blood spraying the walls and mingling with the viscera of their fallen comrades, the sychronized army reveled in the carnage.
The Alphas surveyed their handiwork, their grotesque forms bathed in the gore of their victims. In the midst of the slaughter, one soldier, his face a mask of grim determination, pushed through the pain and fear, his resolve unwavering. He charged at the Alpha, his gun blazing, the sound of gunfire echoing through the blood-soaked halls. The creature roared, its body wracked by pain as the bullets tore through its exoskeleton.
The soldier fought valiantly, his every muscle tensed and straining as he faced the monster. But in the end, his efforts were futile. The Alpha, its rage and power unmatched, struck the soldier down, his lifeless body joining the countless others that had fallen before him. As the creatures continued their bloody campaign, Thanos watched from afar, his eyes cold and calculating.

He observed the Alphas as they led their brethren, their unique abilities a testament to his twisted genius. He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride, his creations living up to their intended purpose – to be the ultimate weapons of destruction. But still, the milk addiction weighed on his mind, a bizarre quirk that marred an otherwise perfect design.
It was a minor inconvenience, one that he could eventually find a solution for, but for now, he focused on the incredible power and potential of his army. As the base fell silent, its inhabitants slaughtered and its secrets laid bare, the monstrous army turned their attention to their next objective – the eradication of any evidence of their existence.
They devoured the corpses of the fallen, human and creature alike, leaving nothing but a desolate, blood-stained husk in their wake. Thanos, his gaze still fixed on the screen, issued a command to one of his scientists. "Send in a team to retrieve anything of value from the base." The scientist nodded, his face pale and his hands shaking, and hurried to carry out his orders.
The female scientist, her attention still on the screen, couldn't help but marvel at the monstrous army that had been created from the Mad Titan's DNA. "Sir," she said, her voice trembling with a mixture of awe and fear, "What shall we call these creatures?" Thanos paused, considering the question.
He had never given them a name, but now, as he watched the aftermath of their ruthless assault, a fitting title reverberated in his mind. With a sinister smile, he spoke, his voice echoing throughout the underground laboratory.
"Let's call them... The Swarm."
A chill ran down the spines of the scientists and personnel in the room, the name serving as a terrifying reminder of the destruction and chaos these creatures could unleash. The Swarm, an army of madness and bloodlust, had been born from the twisted psyche of the Mad Titan, and their power was unparalleled.
As the cleanup team entered the decimated base, they were met with an eerie silence, the remnants of the brutal massacre all but erased. The Swarm had left no trace of their existence, their mission complete. With each passing day, the Swarm's numbers grew, and their power and ferocity continued to impress their creator.
Thanos knew that, with this unstoppable army at his command, the universe would soon bow before him. The path to immortality and total domination lay before him, and with the Swarm by his side, nothing could stand in his way. The name of Thanos would strike fear into the hearts of all who heard it, and the universe would tremble beneath the weight of his power.
The Swarm, an army of unparalleled might and terror, would be the instrument of his wrath, and together, they would reshape the cosmos in the Mad Titan's twisted image.
