Chapter 228 Illusion
The invincible young hero's cruising speed far exceeded that of most conventional aircraft of humankind today. In just a short while, he crossed New Jersey to the south and went straight from New York to Washington.
Everywhere the naked eye could see, an army of robots rained down from the sky, though they usually consciously suppressed their power.
To avoid a situation like when someone is first brought into this world and is instantly split in two.
But the invincible young hero wouldn't have such concerns when facing these robots.
Mark, breaking through the robots' encirclement with his bare hands as easily as slicing through melons and vegetables, stormed into the heart of the battlefield and witnessed the "Avengers" of this universe desperately resisting.
After a brief period of chaos, the S.H.I.E.L.D. and Langley agents, who were lurking at the scene, pulled out their weapons and dragged the important figures present away from the ground.
Fortunately, these Ultron robots, which were like an ant colony and impossible to kill, never actually targeted them, but instead focused all their attacks and firepower on important targets.
The overwhelming number of robots were almost all aimed at the Avengers present, and in a short period of time, they unleashed enough ammunition to flatten the entire Special Zone.
Even the aftermath of the battle between the Avengers and Ultron caused considerable casualties at the scene.
This scene was even broadcast live, reaching audiences across the global internet.
It has to be said that holding the Avengers formation ceremony in Washington, D.C. from the very beginning was a terrible idea.
As an event intended to boost public confidence and of great political significance, its intended effect has been completely lost.
The formation of the "Avengers" did not bring the expected safety and peace, but instead ushered in a new round of attacks.
The organizers, in coordination with S.H.I.E.L.D., considered countless contingency plans for possible emergencies, but they never expected a portal to suddenly appear in the center of the venue!
"We must shut down those portals!"
After wielding his vibranium shield and splitting an unknown number of robots in half, Captain America already felt his strength waning.
It wasn't that his super soldiers were starting to tire, but rather that these robots were visibly upgrading, anticipating his attack patterns, and making them increasingly difficult to destroy.
The same thing happened to the Force-wielding crowd after they rushed out. The Hulk, who was smashing and banging wildly, was gradually overwhelmed by the massive number of Ultron robots, which were like a swarm of ants working together seamlessly.
If this drags on, defeat is almost inevitable.
"These abilities of you Kryptonians are really useful!"
Tony, who had copied Joey's superpowers using the Amozzo core, was unaware of this as he was bombarding everything in sight. The Amozzo's nature was too powerful, and with the mechs in between, he could hardly detect that the Ultron robots were gradually programming adaptive strategies.
Joy could sense that as he cut down the grass, Ultron's strength was indeed changing.
The robots that emerge from those dimensional rifts wave after wave are more difficult to aim at than the previous batch, and their structures are also more superior and robust.
This is the fundamental starting point for Ant-Man to create Ultron in the original timeline: a super AI that can continuously adapt and evolve, the ultimate solution to all problems.
It can only be said that Ant-Man's original intention was good, but Ultron distorted the execution. After all, in Ultron's mind, to complete the ultimate mission of "making the world a better place," the first starting point must be to remove the uncontrollable variable of humanity and take the steering wheel into his own hands.
"Don't be too conspicuous, Tony!"
Joey, realizing something, tried to remind Tony, but Tony remained unmoved. The limited-time trial card for Body of Steel had him completely engrossed, until one of the Ultron robots self-destructed on the side of his armor.
"It's not so bad!" Tony, whose armor was completely intact, was about to spout some more trash talk when he was interrupted by a burst of electric sparks coming from the cracks in his armor.
"My suit has been hacked!"
This close-range self-destruction allowed Ultron's information flow to infiltrate Tony's armor control system. While Jarvis and Ultron were vying for dominance, Tony could only watch helplessly as the armored rock machine plummeted headfirst into the ground.
"I can tell!"
Once again, he used his thermal vision to clear out the entire batch of Ultron robots pouring out of the rift, and the scene, which had been as dark as night, finally saw the light of day again. This time, Joey had no choice but to stop holding back:
"Everyone, hold on tight!"
His rapid movements unleashed a devastating hurricane, drawing all the robots in the area together outside the dimensional rift high in the sky.
The red figure charged upwards, delivering a devastating blow straight into the eye of the storm.
The Kryptonian's punch, whose power could not be measured numerically, unleashed a visible shockwave that stretched for tens of thousands of miles, instantly smoothing out the uneven air pressure difference and turning the gathered robots into a rain of parts falling from the sky.
After doing all this, Joey even had time to fly low and reach out to catch Tony, who was eating for the second time.
This guy never learns his lesson. He already suffered the same loss with Cyborg once, and now he's been hacked into the control system again.
"I've already upgraded!"
No matter how stubborn Tony was, he couldn't change the fact that his armor had once again been crippled at the network level: "I'm not like you, born with this kind of body!"
"Stop using brute force, Tony. Think of a way to close the portal first!"
Joey agrees with the captain on the idea of closing this dimensional rift. At this point, he can still wipe out the intruders with a single punch, as if he's unleashing a superhuman attack. But after this process is repeated hundreds or thousands of times, it's hard to say what will happen.
After Joey crushed all the robots with a single punch, the swarm of robots that resembled both ants and a tide at the other end of the portal finally did not invade again, and the Avengers and Ultron entered a brief respite.
Stay vigilant!
Captain America didn't forget to remind the many Avengers present.
Everyone knows that to throw a punch, you must first pull your fist back—such silence always conceals an even more powerful attack.
"How long do you think they'll let us rest?"
Tony didn't dare to be careless. After deleting Ultron's virus shield, he quickly scanned these rift-shaped portals.
Preliminary findings undoubtedly confirm that these portals, which bring forth massive numbers of killing machines, originate from another world, another universe:
"After experiencing so many 'Terminator' events, I've found myself rationally disliking having so many robots clustered together."
The doubts of the crowd did not last long, and soon the next wave of attacks arrived.
However, Ultron had already realized that it was inefficient for these massive numbers of minions to kill the Avengers of this universe.
For this attack, he only dispatched one machine.
A cybernetic fusion creature with reddish skin all over its body, a golden gem embedded in its forehead, and wearing a green robe—Vision.
Or perhaps, it's Vision's version of Ultron.
"careful."
Joey reached out and shielded Tony behind him, not daring to be careless for a moment.
With his super vision, Joey could sense that the energy constituting the other person's body was increasing exponentially.
This vigilance stemmed from the gem embedded in the other person's forehead.
If Joey's eyesight is not impaired, its energy response seems to be almost identical to the core of the scepter in Loki's hand when it first spotted him from afar.
Only the Iron Man version of Ultron, "Vision," uses the Mind Stone to power his body; the Ant-Man version of Vision does not.
So what's going on now?
"Roar!"
Having escaped from the mountain of parts, Hulk roared to the sky, his previous restraint by the swarm of robots had driven him into a rage.
"Smash you, Hulk!"
With a roar, it leaped from the ground, soaring tens of thousands of meters high, and pounced towards the newly appeared illusion in the sky.
"Small---
Before the word "be careful" could even be uttered, Ultron, controlling Vision's body, launched his attack in zero frames. The gem on his forehead emitted a seven-colored light, and a high-energy particle ray, just like the one used at the start of the initial attack, shot out, smashing Hulk all the way into the depths of the continental plate.
But whether he said it or not doesn't matter. Hulk, caught up in his temper, won't listen to any advice, and he's definitely going to get what's coming to him.
—This is how the battle changed after the Invincible Young Hero arrived.
"Let me help you!"
With the distinction between enemy and ally so clear, Mark's body was stretched to its limit in order to cover the Hulk who was being beaten. The warlike nature of the Witrum aliens inspired him to forge ahead.
In the blink of an eye, Mark had already closed in on Vision, who was attacking Hulk, and swung a punch at Vision's head, just like Joey had thrown earlier:
"I am..."
