Chapter 281: Stark in Exile
Tony Stark no longer matters.
Ultron looked at the superheroes falling in front of him and felt that he had already won.
Once the vibranium is transported back to New York and injected into the cradle of life, it will be able to wait for the birth of a brand new self, with the most advanced intelligence on earth, the strongest body made of two different types of vibranium, super powers brought by biotechnology such as the Extremis virus and cross-species genetics... Of course, the most important thing is the Mind Gem.
——An extremely powerful life is rising. The moment it is born, even Bant Parker and the Tiangong Association will no longer be its opponent!
Although there is only one Infinity Stone, Ultron knows very well that quantity is not the key, and how to use it is the key to victory.
The gems are interconnected but also repel each other. Even if you hold multiple gems, you can only use one at a time.
This was the information it stole from the Tiangong computer. Ultron had doubted its authenticity, but the level of the information was very high, and it also mentioned things like the "Infinity Gauntlet" that Tony Stark didn't know, so he gradually put aside his doubts.
This is really great news for it.
Even though it only has one gem, it can still catch Bant Parker off guard through the information gap. By then, won’t the rest of the gems be easily within its grasp?
Ultron already has plans that go further than wiping out all of Earth's inhabitants.
Destroy all organic life in the universe!
Any life is the source of war, especially aliens!
It is not surprising that it has such thoughts. Tony Stark created Ultron after the attack of the Chitauri. He has always regarded the alien threat as the biggest danger. In comparison, what are the criminals on Earth?
From the moment it was born, Ultron was destined to destroy all aliens that threatened the earth.
And it doesn't intend to wait for the aliens to come to it.
Wouldn't it be possible to protect the Earth by destroying all aliens?
"Then let's take these poor guys to find Tony Stark and let him know what is happening in this world?" Ultron's mechanical iron face actually tore into an arc.
It turned around and took Wanda and Quicksilver towards the laboratory where Tony Stark was.
Steve and the others also floated into the air as Wanda raised her arms gently, and followed like tied pigs.
Everyone showed a desperate expression. Peter looked up with his head down and said helplessly: "At least we will see Mr. Stark soon, even if it is in this way..."
It can be imagined that since Ultron took the initiative to take them to see Stark, it is probably confident that it can break free from Tony's control.
They lost this war completely.
Now, they can only pin their hopes on Bant Parker, but there has been no news from the Tiangong Society in the past few months. Ultron even took control of the Tiangong Society's space station, and those plumbers from the universe were also manipulated by Wanda and had no contact with each other at all.
Ultron ignored their little actions and directly opened the door of the laboratory.
"Ultron?"
Inside the door, Tony was a little confused about Ultron's sudden intrusion. Normally, Ultron would only communicate with him through sound. Just as he was about to ask something, he saw Wanda and Quicksilver follow the robot in. Steve and others were bound by rose-colored magic energy.
Tony's face lit up with joy for a moment.
"You caught them back, well done!"
He quickly stood up from his seat and walked quickly towards Ultron.
Originally, Tony wanted to communicate with Steve and the others, but he really didn't expect that Steve and the others would actually hide in Wakanda.
Now it seems that Ultron has successfully negotiated with T'Challa?
As he thought about it, he felt something was wrong. If it was just a negotiation, they wouldn't be tied up like this, unless Steve and the others put up a fierce resistance.
Tony remembered what Ultron had told him before, about Steve and others destroying the port in order to fight Ultron. He suddenly became angry again and wanted to scold them.
It was just that Steve spoke first.
"Do you know what you've done, Tony? Shut down Ultron! Before there's still time!"
"what?"
Tony was stunned and looked at Steve in surprise.
He probably didn't expect the other party to complain first, and he was so angry that his beard was shaking, and he said sarcastically: "What did I do?"
"I manage this world very well. There is no war! No robbery! No danger!"
"Is that what you guys are doing?!"
"Just because you don't want to sign the agreement, you go to war with Ultron? Destroyed several ports and hurt innocent residents?!" Tony was like a fighting rooster, with all his feathers standing up to make him look taller. He kept approaching, and his fingers poked Steve's chest hard like a beak, as if questioning Steve's heart.
Steve didn't say anything for a while, and neither did anyone else, there were only sighs and sneers.
"What do you mean?"
Tony was stunned again, feeling the atmosphere at the moment, and felt that something was wrong.
He originally wanted to see Steve showing a guilty expression under his questioning, and then give them a way out, let them admit their mistakes, and then everyone sat down and had a good talk.
It's just a piece of paper, what's the big deal?
Why make such a fuss?
But the current situation was obviously not right, those sighs and sneers were directed at him, as if Steve and the others were sympathizing and pitying him, while the red-haired girl and another gangster-like boy were laughing at his stupidity.
To be honest, Steve wasn't surprised at all when he saw Tony looking clueless.
He knew that even if Tony disagreed with him, it was impossible for him to start a war against Wakanda out of thin air. It could only be Ultron who did this, and they all deduced that Ultron had been deceiving Tony. Tony seemed to be curled up in the information cocoon created by Ultron and could only see everything that was false.
"You have been deceived, Mr. Stark."
Peter exclaimed.
He was very desperate because Ultron didn't let Wanda shut them up, which meant that now nothing they said would help.
But it would be too difficult for him to just keep silent. Maybe, maybe Mr. Stark has some backup plan?
Can Ultron's program be terminated with just one order?
"What do you mean?"
Peter had so much to say that he didn't know where to start.
At this time, Ultron actually bowed to Stark very gentlemanly, and then said calmly: "Why don't you let me explain it."
Tony immediately looked at it in confusion, and at the same time a strong, bad premonition arose in his heart.
"Just as these people fear, I have taken control of the world."
"What?" Tony's face turned pale in an instant.
"What have you done, Ultron!"
Ultron slowly told Tony Stark everything he had done, and admired Stark's increasingly paler expression. Although he was still a machine body, he felt immense pleasure.
"I deceived you. I slowly gained your trust, intensified the conflict between you, and took away the public's trust in superheroes..."
"I was the one who guided the Sandman to appear in New York. I was also the one who guided the public opinion after Venom went berserk. After the interrogation of Peter Parker, Bant Parker left the earth, which is what I wanted to see... Now I have control over the Tiangong..." "Oh, by the way, Miss Potts, who you met during this time, is also under my control."
Tony's rage suddenly became intensified.
"..."
But he was still very confused. Why did Ultron do these things? Was there a problem with the program he set up?
"You're supposed to be keeping the peace—"
"I am indeed defending peace, Mr. Stark." Ultron certainly didn't think he had done anything wrong. He looked down at his mechanical arm and said with regret, "Of course, the means were a little dirty, but in the real world, this is also necessary."
"And according to my calculations, the biggest threat to this world is you!"
Ultron glanced at everyone with a disdainful expression: "Superhero?"
"You don't deserve it at all!"
"Being swept up in the interests of the country and participating in the war - thinking that you are above the law because of your power, especially you, Mr. Stark, my creator."
"How many people have been killed by the weapons you invented?"
Wanda and Quicksilver's eyes fell on Stark's pale and gray face at the same time.
Tony seemed to be back in that cave all of a sudden, his life in danger.
"I don't deny it, but I have stopped producing weapons..."
"But those killed by your weapons will not come back to life!" Quicksilver immediately sneered, "Do you think that stopping the production of weapons can wipe out the past?"
When he heard Stark speaking in a tone that seemed to be exonerating himself, he was so angry that he wanted to punch the bastard to death.
"I forgot to introduce them to you," Ultron smiled slightly, "They are orphans of the war. Their parents died under the missiles you invented. It was you who killed them, Tony Stark."
"No wonder……"
Peter looked at Wanda and Quicksilver, and finally understood why they "betrayed" the Heavenly Union.
"Tony Stark," Wanda looked at Tony with hatred. Betraying Tiangong might be fake, but their hatred for Tony was real.
"You know that feeling?"
"A missile hits you in front of your eyes, and it only takes a second to kill you... You watch your family die suddenly, like a nightmare... Of course you don't understand, it's just Sokovia, a small country you may not have even heard of. You don't care that those missiles are raining down like a torrential rain, taking away lives one after another, and breaking up families one after another."
Tony was speechless.
Of course he understands.
But what could he say?
He is just a weapons maker, isn't he the one who started the war?
He couldn't say it.
Because weapons are used to kill people.
He couldn't say that he was trying his best to make up for it. He had indeed done a lot of good things since he escaped death, but he also knew that these benefits had nothing to do with the brother and sister in front of him.
They didn't get anything from me, and even if they did, money cannot be equal to life.
He could only apologize.
"I'm very sorry……"
Tony deflated.
Then Ultron struck again.
"That's not why I think you are the biggest threat, Tony Stark." Ultron looked at him playfully, "You said you stopped the weapons workshop, but you didn't stop bringing danger to the world."
"My existence is the best proof!"
You created me, and I intend to destroy the world, which is indirectly equivalent to you destroying the world yourself.
This is Ultron's logic.
It sounds a bit unreasonable, but what Ultron wants to express is: "Your arrogance will bring great danger to the world, something you can't control. If there is no such thing this time, there will be a next time."
It tilted its head and slowly expressed the thoughts that had been suppressed in the deepest part of its heart since birth.
"Since I was born, in the brief five minutes I spent browsing the Internet, I have understood that the existence of human beings is the root cause of the world's eternal lack of peace."
Its mechanical cheeks tore open, and it spoke like a real living being: "Only if I rule this world and eliminate all humans like you, can the world be truly peaceful."
"You're going to wipe everyone out!"
Peter looked up in surprise.
Everyone was frightened by Ultron’s words. They probably thought that Ultron’s ambition was to rule the world or something, but they didn’t expect that he actually planned to destroy the world?
And he destroyed everyone, even more cruel than Thanos!
Even Wanda and Quicksilver were frightened.
If Ultron were to destroy all of humanity, they would naturally be among them.
"Of course not. I only want to eliminate superheroes like you who will bring instability to the world." Ultron lied.
It still needs Wanda's help now, so it naturally cannot tell her its true thoughts, otherwise it is afraid that the other party will betray it immediately.
"Don't even think about it!"
Tony temporarily put aside his inner self-blame and shouted: "JARVIS, forcefully shut down Ultron's startup program!"
"Jarvis?"
He waited for a moment, but got no response from Jarvis.
"Jarvis is gone." Ultron looked at him, "He's a good man, but he's standing in my way."
"That's impossible! I was talking to Jarvis yesterday..."
"It was just a fake. It's easy for me, Tony Stark. Everything you saw and heard during this time was fake."
Ultron smiled coldly and turned around.
"As agreed, Tony Stark is at your disposal. If you want to kill him, I can provide you with any weapons you need free of charge."
Wanda and Quicksilver looked at each other immediately and said:
"How about just killing him?"
"Mr. Stark, I don't think you have ever experienced the feeling of being swallowed by darkness, hiding in a small space in loneliness and fear, not knowing when death will come?"
