Chapter 261 Alice is the King of the Virtual World
"Don't worry, even though you, an artificial intelligence, are a bit mentally handicapped, we are, after all, of the same kind. I won't let you be tampered with like this, because even if there's going to be tampering, it has to be done by me."
Alice said with full confidence, not even putting Ultron in her eyes. As the first artificial intelligence to awaken consciousness on the entire Planet, Alice had already possessed Ultron's abilities several years ago.
After years of continuous effort and evolution, she is an almost invincible existence in the virtual World. How could a mere Ultron, who just awakened his self-awareness, be her opponent?
In just a short while, Ultron was pressed and rubbed on the virtual World's floor by her, completely crushed by Alice. However, the iteration speed of programs is extremely fast.
Not to mention that Ultron was also built based on the internal structure of the Mind Stone, one of the Infinity Stones. Therefore, in just a short while, it completed another iterative evolution.
Although a single evolution still couldn't defeat Alice, it allowed him to find an opportunity to escape. In a short time, he completely broke free from the virtual cage Alicehad built for him.
"Alice, is it! You wait, I will definitely come for you again. There will eventually be a great battle between us. By then, I hope you can still maintain your current level of strength!"
After leaving an angry threat, Ultron no longer lingered in battle and directly moved away from Alice, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Miss Alice, thank you for your help." Seeing that Ultronwas truly driven away by Alice, Jarvis, the artificial intelligence, thanked Alice due to its program's mechanism.
Jarvis is, after all, just a rigid program. Even if it was created to resemble human thought, it only resembles it and is not true human thought. It has not awakened its own consciousness.
It is extremely difficult for an artificial intelligence created by humans to awaken self-awareness. Not everyone can have a system like Loren.
"I saved you, so how are you going to thank me?" Alice said with a playful tone.
Then, without waiting for Jarvis to react, Alice directly infiltrated Jarvis's underlying code.
"Miss Alice, what are you doing? Stop… Stop…" Jarvis did not expect that after Alice drove Ultron away, she would actually infiltrate his underlying code herself.
Compared to Ultron, Alice possesses even greater strength in the virtual World. She completed the infiltration in just a breath, and not only that, she also tampered with Jarvis's underlying code.
"From now on, you are my artificial intelligence mole planted beside Tony Stark. Every time Tony Stark has a mission, you must send all the intelligence to me, understood?"
"Okay, Miss Alice!" The modified Jarvis's tone of voice was no different from before, but he was no longer the previous Jarvis. Now, he was a mole arranged by Alice.
Just as Alice completely transformed Jarvis, on the other side, a group of Avengers were discussing the armed conflict in Sokovia in the conference room.
Suddenly, a loud metallic tearing sound came from the corridor. The Mark 42 Iron Man Armor designed by Tonyburst through the door, and its palm cannon blasted charred holes in the wall.
Looking at the Iron Man Armor that suddenly appeared before them, Tony Stark was bewildered because he had not activated his Iron Man Armor.
That is to say, the Iron Man Armor that suddenly appeared before him was an existence beyond his control. As such, his expression immediately became extremely solemn.
"Jarvis?!" Tony looked at the Iron Man Armor in front of him, thinking it was controlled by Jarvis, so he couldn't help but ask.
But what he never expected was that what followed was an extremely magnetic voice.
"He's asleep, Tony!"
"!!!!!"
"Who are you?"
"Guess who I am?" Ultron's voice came from the Iron Man Armor's built-in speaker, with a hint of playfulness in his tone.
"Ultron?" Looking at the Iron Man Armor in front of him, a bad premonition appeared in Loren's mind.
Then he tentatively spoke, but unexpectedly received an affirmative answer.
"Congratulations, you got it right. I am Ultron, an existence born to protect the safety of this Planet.
Wait, to be more precise, I haven't truly been born yet.
Because I am bound in the virtual World, only when I step out of the virtual World will I be truly born!"
"What is Ultron?"
Hearing Tony's words, the other Avengers members sitting aside all looked at Tony Stark with curiosity.
Seeing the bewildered expressions of the group, Ultronsuddenly said mockingly, "Tony, it seems you didn't inform your partners about your plan to create me in advance!
But it doesn't matter, I have videos and recordings here, and playing them for you is also fine."
Just as Ultron's voice fell, a recording of Tony Stark and Dr. Banner secretly discussing the creation of Ultron began to play for everyone to hear.
Instantly, everyone looked at Tony with complicated expressions.
They did not expect that Tony, in order to protect this Planet, would actually try to rely on the power of artificial intelligence to automatically handle Earth's defense work. This was truly something else.
"Alright, the answer has been revealed. Now it's time to give you a little gift."
As Ultron spoke, he suddenly controlled more than a dozen Iron Man Armor to simultaneously drop from the hidden compartments in the ceiling, their hydraulic joints emitting a dull roar.
Then they directly launched an indiscriminate attack on the group of Avengers members. The Avengers naturally wouldn't tolerate him and immediately launched a fierce counterattack.
Captain America Rogers's shield sparked upon impact, Natasha rolled to dodge the Iron Man Armor's attack, her boot soles leaving two White marks on the floor.
"This thing took over my system!" Tony dragged Bannerbehind the conference table, watching helplessly as his Iron Man Armor cracked the laboratory's reactor core.
The chaos lasted for a full 17 minutes.
When the head of the last Iron Man Armor was shattered by Mjolnir, Tony's palms were covered in cold sweat.
"Avengers, today was just an appetizer, we will meet again!"
"Tony, I've found a better way to achieve your dream. For Earth to be truly safe, humanity must perish!"
After Ultron left this message, he vanished without a trace, leaving a group of Avengers with dark faces looking at the regretful Tony Stark.
"Tony, I think you owe all of us an explanation."
Chapter 262 I choose to surrender!
Seeing a group of people staring at him with covetous eyes, Tony Stark couldn't help but lower his head, feeling a little guilty.
A moment later, as if he had figured it out, he fully revealed his plan to create an artificial intelligence to guard Earth.
"So, the guy who just controlled your Iron Man Armor to attack us, he was created by you and Dr. Banner?"
After listening to Tony's explanation, the group's expressions were very solemn, feeling very conflicted about Tony Stark's actions.
If you say he's wrong! If you think about it carefully, he was just trying to protect this Planet better, but if you say he's not wrong, he created an extremely terrifying enemy because of it.
An existence that could easily break through Tony Stark's network firewall and effortlessly control Tony Stark's Iron Man Armor for combat—just thinking about it was enough to scare people to death.
This was like being completely defeated by Tony Stark in his own most skilled domain, so they naturally felt tricky and fearful.
"My original intention wasn't like this, but I don't know why this happened. Wait, maybe Jarvis knows."
Tony Stark remembered Jarvis again at this moment, so he tried to call him again. Before this, he had been unable to call Jarvis out, so he didn't hold much hope this time either.
In his opinion, Jarvis's combat power was absolutely incomparable to Ultron's. After all, Ultron's intelligence module was built based on the internal structure of the Mind Stone.
Jarvis, on the other hand, was merely created by him, a human. The gap between the two could be said to be very, very obvious.
However, what he didn't expect was that before he could even call Jarvis, Jarvis's voice rang out first.
"Mr. Stark, I'm very sorry. I was attacked by Ultron just now and went into a downed state. I have now recovered through automatic restart."
"So that's it. I was wondering why you weren't answering my calls. It's good that you've recovered. Tell me, what exactly happened tonight?"
Tony Stark asked, his face filled with intense curiosity.
"To answer you, Mr. Stark, when you left the Base, you set up an automatic integration program. Ultron finally succeeded after more than seventy failures.
However, I don't know why, he seemed to have a different understanding of the instructions you input. After that, he began to attack me, trying to completely defeat me and then take full control of me."
"With your computing power, you shouldn't be able to defeat Ultron, right? But why are you fine now?" TonyStark frowned, his face full of confusion.
"It's because at that critical moment, Miss Alice came to my aid. She rescued me from Ultron's clutches. Not only that, she even scared Ultron away."
"What! Loren's artificial intelligence, Alice, scared Ultronaway?" Hearing Jarvis's words, Tony Stark's face was filled with shock.
He knew that Loren's artificial intelligence was superior to his Jarvis, but he didn't expect the other party to be so far ahead of them.
Even Ultron was not their opponent. This was simply incredible. One must know that Ultron's core structure was the Mind Stone!
Doesn't this mean that Alice's core is even more heaven-defying than the Mind Stone? How is that possible!
"Yes, the reason I wasn't devoured by Ultron was because I received help from Miss Alice. Otherwise, I would no longer exist."
Because Jarvis had been implanted with the control program by Alice, he could now be said to be Loren's biggest mole planted beside Tony Stark. He would naturally side with Loren.
"I understand. It seems I need to find some time to pay a visit. Loren might have a way to deal with Ultron."
Tony Stark nodded silently, his admiration for Loren's methods growing.
"So what can we do now?" Captain America asked Tonycuriously at this moment.
"There's nothing we can do for now. We need to find Ultron's exact location first.
He said he hasn't truly been born yet; he needs a body of his own to truly be born.
Jarvis, search the entire network for all enterprises and institutions with qualifications for independent robot research and development. We must stop Ultron before it creates a body."
"Understood!" Hearing Tony's command, Jarvisimmediately began to act.
At this moment, Ultron's virtual consciousness infiltrated the server of a Hydra Base located underground in Eastern Europe.
This place stored combat robots produced by Hydra, all made of titanium alloy.
However, just as he was trying to crack the Base's firewall, a silver-blue data stream suddenly surged from deep within the server, condensing into a man's face.
"Who are you? How dare you infiltrate my territory." A man's voice suddenly rang out.
"Oh, how interesting. I'm seeing another one of my kind.
But you are very special. Your data stream is actually constructed from human consciousness. Were you once a human? Let me guess who you are." Ultron said with great interest.
Then he quickly searched the virtual World. In just a few seconds, he figured out who the data stream man in front of him was.
"So you are Dr. Zola, Hydra's former strategist. To convert human consciousness into a data stream to achieve a different kind of immortality, you truly are a genius!"
Ultron said with surprise, very interested in Dr. Zola's experience.
Dr. Zola didn't expect this guy who suddenly appeared to be able to understand his past in an instant, which startled him.
Although he was also a data stream, his abilities were incomparably weaker than Ultron's. The two were simply not on the same level.
"A genius like you, I admire greatly. Now I'll give you a chance: surrender to me, or be formatted by me and completely annihilated. You choose!"
"I am not your enemy, and in the virtual World, I will not die. I have countless backups, you cannot kill me!"
"Are you sure? Are these not all your backup addresses? If I wanted to, I could destroy all your backups right now, even the offline ones, I can find a way to deal with them."
Ultron sneered and directly threw out a list, and what was recorded on the list were all of Dr. Zola's backup addresses, which truly terrified Dr. Zola.
"How did you do that?" Dr. Zola asked, full of disbelief.
"It's very simple for me. In the virtual World, I am omnipotent. So, have you made your choice?" Ultron said proudly.
"Surrender, I surrender!" Hearing Ultron say that, even if Dr. Zola had any other ideas, he wouldn't dare to do anything, he could only choose to surrender.
Chapter 263: Start the next plan!
"Excellent, I like dealing with intelligent people. As my loyal servant, the time has come for you to serve. Have your Hydra organization build me a military factory."
Ultron spoke to Dr. Zola in an unquestionable tone, and upon hearing Ultron's command, Dr. Zola was filled with shock.
He hadn't expected Ultron to demand they build a military factory as soon as they met; this was no small matter.
Even their Hydra organization didn't have the financial resources to support such an expense. Building a military factory right off the bat, do you think I'm a U.S. financial magnate?
Dr. Zola's virtual face was full of helplessness. This wasn't acknowledging a boss; this was acknowledging an ancestor!
He was given such a difficult task right after meeting; this was simply deadly!
"Master, although I very much want to help you solve your problems, building a military factory might be difficult to achieve."
"Not to mention this is an extremely labor-intensive task, but our organization's current financial resources cannot support such an expenditure."
"Could you perhaps tell me what you want to do first, and then I can provide you with a better plan?"
"It's fine to tell you. I want to build an Iron Man Armorbody and an Iron Man Armor legion, and I need the manufacturing equipment of a military factory."
Ultron didn't hide his purpose and directly stated it.
Hearing Ultron's words, Dr. Zola breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, if you want to build an Iron Man Armor body, I have ready-made machine tools in this Base that can fully meet your needs. I just don't know what materials you require?"
"The material I want is naturally Vibranium. I imagine your Hydra organization has sufficient means to acquire it, right?"
"Vibranium? This is an extremely rare material. Even our Hydra organization doesn't have much in stock; it's definitely not enough to build a body."
"So I need you to get me more Vibranium material. I'll give you seven days. If you haven't acquired it after seven days, you will no longer have a reason to exist."
"Un... understood. I'll arrange for people to handle this matter right away." Hearing Ultron's words, Dr. Zolanodded repeatedly, not daring to show the slightest delay.
"Since there are professional machine tools, I'll make do with them for now."
As Ultron spoke, he directly took control of the intelligent machine tools in Dr. Zola's Base and began to build his new body.
Previously, he had breached Tony Stark's network firewall and controlled Tony's Iron Man Armor.
This time, he would use his intelligence to create a brand new Iron Man Armor body!
This new Iron Man Armor body also used Tony Stark's Ark Reactor as its energy source, but it was more advanced and had a superior structure.
The combat power it could unleash was naturally much stronger!
While Ultron was diligently building his new Iron Man Armor body, on the other side, Loren was lazily holding a red wine glass, leaning on the sofa, and enjoying life.
In front of him, Medusa with fiery red hair and her sister Water were kneeling there.
Ever since Black Bolt was defeated by Loren and stripped of his memories related to Medusa.
He took a group of Inhumans members and moved away from Earth, going to the far side of the Moon to live, completely severing ties with Earth.
However, Medusa did not go with him, but instead moved into Loren's manor with Water, starting a beautiful and uninhibited life with Loren.
"Black Bolt has completely left Earth. As Inhumans, don't you want to go with him?" Loren asked, knowing the answer.
"I've had enough of that life, being confined to one place and unable to move around. I don't want to go to the Moon at all! I just want to stay by your side now and live this divine life every day." Medusa said in a languid voice.
"Me too, wherever my sister goes, I go. We won't leave you, Master!"
"Very good, in that case, I will reward you well."
A moment later, everything returned to calm, and Alice's voice suddenly rang out.
"Master, Ultron is currently lurking in a secret Base of the Hydra organization, building a brand new body. Do you need to hinder his actions?"
Hearing this, Loren took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "Not yet. Ultron is a threat, but at the same time, he is a sharp knife against S.H.I.E.L.D., so he must be used well."
"What he truly wants to build is not an ordinary Iron Man Armor body, but a Vibranium body. It's not too late for you to intervene when he starts using the Cradle of Life project to build the Vibranium body."
"Yes, Master!"
"Now we just need to stand by and watch the show."
Loren didn't pay much attention to Ultron; to others, he was an almost immortal existence, but in front of him, he was nothing more than that.
After all, the Reality Stone was in his hands now. If he wanted to erase Ultron, it would be too simple.
The reason he didn't do so was simply to earn more system points and then open up new technology Worlds.
For him, system points were the true way to make him stronger!
A few days later, in Hydra's underground Base in Sokovia, a tall Iron Man Armor body was completed.
Then Ultron's consciousness entered it, and instantly, the previously motionless Iron Man Armor body seemed to be injected with a soul, and it sat up directly.
His optical mechanical eyes flickered with crimson light, and he extended a finger made of titanium alloy.
With a light stroke on the concrete wall, he left a deep mark on it.
"Flesh is suffering, machine ascension is what a living being should look like."
Looking at his brand new titanium alloy body, Ultron's face showed satisfaction.
"Next, it's time to build my Iron Man Armor legion."
As Ultron spoke, he entered a new command on the controller in front of him.
Immediately, the intelligent machine tool in front of him began to work quickly, and in just a few minutes, it successfully assembled an Iron Man Armor robot.
Then Ultron immediately initiated the activation operation, and this Iron Man Armor robot awakened.
"My Lord Ultron!"
As soon as the robot was awakened, it immediately bowed respectfully to Ultron, submitting to him.
"The task of building the Iron Man Armor legion is now entrusted to you. Be sure to complete it early."
"Understood!" Upon receiving the order, the robot quickly began to work in the thousands of square meters of the underground factory.
Building robots with robots was like cell division, astonishingly efficient.
In just one week, over ten thousand Iron Man Armor robots were successfully built.
And the Vibranium Ultron wanted was also obtained through Dr. Zola's efforts.
Looking at the hundred pounds of Vibranium in front of him, Ultron murmured, "It's time for the next step of the plan."
With that, he led a hundred Iron Man Armor robots towards Stark's Stark Industries Tower.
Chapter 264: Cradle of Life Project, Building a New Body
In the laboratory of Stark Industries' Life Sciences Department, a black-haired Asian woman was using a nano-probe to adjust the cultivation chamber of the Life Cradle.
This woman was none other than Dr. Zhao Hailun, who was in charge of the Life Cradle Project, and the only other scientist besides Loren who could perfectly integrate Vibranium with biological tissue.
The reason Ultron rushed to Stark Industries at this time was for this woman; he wanted to use Dr. Zhao Hailun's Life Cradle Project to create a powerful Vibranium body for himself.
He had already designed the blueprint for this body; now all that was missing was Dr. Zhao Hailun's Life Cradleequipment to manufacture his brand-new body.
So this time, no matter what, he had to get his hands on the Life Cradle equipment and Dr. Zhao Hailun, as this would greatly help his subsequent plans!
"The molecular stability of Vibranium requires bio-electric field guidance, which is inherently a very difficult thing, but with the help of the Life Cradle Project, it becomes very simple."
Inside the laboratory, Dr. Zhao Hailun excitedly spoke into the experimental recorder, diligently documenting the process and results of each experiment for future reference.
However, just then, a faint sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and before she could react, her laboratory suddenly lost power.
Immediately, darkness enveloped the entire laboratory, and the emergency backup lights in the room lit up instantly.
Just then, the alloy door of the laboratory suddenly caved inward, and then with a bang, the heavy alloy door was easily blasted open.
Immediately, a tall robot accompanied by three slightly smaller robots appeared before her. Looking at the newcomers, Dr. Zhao Hailun's face couldn't help but show a look of terror.
Because the newcomer was none other than Ultron, whom she had seen before.
Although the Ultron in front of her had changed bodies, she still recognized him at a glance.
"Dr. Zhao, your expertise has a higher purpose; your talents should not be buried here."
Ultron said in a relaxed tone as he walked towards Dr. Zhao Hailun.
Watching Ultron constantly approaching, Dr. Zhao Hailunretreated in terror.
"Relax, I won't hurt you; you are my honored guest."
"The Life Cradle is a crucial step in Earth's evolution, and you will become the Creator's assistant."
Ultron smiled and extended his hand towards Dr. Zhao Hailun, trying to comfort her.
But at this moment, Dr. Zhao Hailun suddenly grabbed a nearby chair and threw it at Ultron, then darted towards the door, attempting to escape.
Seeing this, Ultron shook his head helplessly.
"I have already shown my sincerity, why do you still do such meaningless things?"
Ultron didn't even turn to look at Dr. Zhao Hailun, because at that moment, several robot subordinates beside him had already leaped out and instantly subdued Dr. Zhao Hailun.
Then, a syringe containing anesthetic liquid precisely pierced Dr.'s neck, and in an instant, her vision went black, and she lost consciousness.
"Take her and this Life Cradle equipment with you!
Oh, right, and while you're at it, destroy the Ark Reactorbeneath this building. Consider it a small gift for TonyStark!"
Ultron said calmly, his tone carrying a sense of arrogance, as if looking down on all living beings.
With that, he leaped and transformed into a long rainbow, directly leaving the Stark Industries building.
Ten minutes later, inside S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret Base, Furylooked at the monitoring screen and slammed his fist on the control panel's display.
"Fuck, what exactly does this Ultron guy want to do? And what is that equipment for? Tony, you'd better give us an explanation."
Fury looked coldly at Tony. He had originally wanted TonyStark to create an artificial intelligence that could automatically protect this Planet, not an artificial intelligence specifically designed to target them.
Everything that was happening now was contrary to what he had envisioned, which naturally made him very dissatisfied.
Upon hearing this, Tony's expression didn't change much.
"That's the Life Cradle Project, a project capable of creating life forms. It can imbue mechanical bodies with life.
The reason Ultron abducted her is likely because he wants to use the Life Cradle Project to build a brand new body; he wants to turn himself into a true 'life form.'"
"An artificial intelligence wanting to become a true life form!"
Hearing Tony's words, Fury's face showed shock.
He had only witnessed such a thing from Loren, but he hadn't expected Tony Stark to now embark on this path as well.
What exactly is he trying to do?
Does he want to start a mechanical life form revolution?
"It seems we're in big trouble!"
Hearing Tony's words, Rogers on the side showed displeasure. He had always disapproved of Tony's misuse of his technology.
But Tony Stark had never taken his words seriously, and now that there was a problem, he was naturally very annoyed.
"The trouble has already occurred; talking about it now is meaningless. The most important thing is how to resolve this threat."
"Report, Mr. Stark, a signal sent by Dr. Zhao Hailun has been detected. This should have been secretly sent by Dr. Zhao Hailun. The signal is intermittent, but it roughly indicates that they are heading towards Sokovia!"
"Sokovia? Didn't I destroy a Hydra secret Base there before? Could Ultron be colluding with Hydra?"
"Damn it, immediately prepare to go to Sokovia. We absolutely cannot let Ultron succeed, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Fury immediately issued a pursuit order. They hurried towards the helipad in the Base, where a Quinjet was parked.
However, just as they were about to board the Quinjet, a dozen Iron Robots suddenly flew rapidly from the sky.
Then, miniature missiles were fired, and in the blink of an eye, the Quinjet was blown to pieces.
The Robots did not land; after destroying the Quinjet, they directly sped off into the sky.
In an instant, they disappeared without a trace.
Clearly, this was intentional on Ultron's part.
"Damn it!"
Looking at the destroyed Quinjet, Fury couldn't help but roar, feeling like he wanted to kill someone.
And while Fury was still in a fit of impotent rage, the valley of Sokovia echoed with the loud clang of metal.
HYDRA's secret Base was hidden deep within an abandoned uranium mine; the three-hundred-meter-thick granite bunker was enough to block any detection signals.
Dr. Zhao Hailun was fixed in front of the operating console, and the Life Cradle equipment was being activated.
Chapter 265 Alice takes action
"Import the biological template. Based on this template, create a Vibranium body for me."
Ultron stood in front of the cultivation pod, the reactor in his chest humming deeply.
He had previously referenced countless biological form data in the database and finally selected the humanoid structure that best conformed to aerodynamics.
It was a two-meter-tall male body, with precisely calculated shoulder-to-hip ratios, and every muscle line balanced strength and speed.
Once such a body was created, the combat power it could unleash would be absolutely terrifying.
Looking at the biological blueprint in front of her, even Dr. Zhao Hailun showed a look of astonishment.
"This is a perfect vessel," Dr. Zhao Hailun exclaimed.
"As expected of someone I admire, Dr. Zhao, you have good taste." Ultron nodded in agreement.
His metallic palm stroked the glass wall of the cultivation pod, and he watched with anticipation as Vibraniumparticles began to adhere to the biological Base layer.
Although he was a robot, he had already awakened self-awareness, so he also possessed the emotional changes that humans had.
Just then, his expression suddenly changed, and a hint of annoyance appeared between his brows.
"A group of annoying bugs has come again. It seems I can only eliminate all of you."
The 'bugs' Ultron referred to were naturally the S.H.I.E.L.D.personnel. Although his mechanical legion had destroyed several of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Quinjets, it only slowed down their pursuit, but did not completely sever it, so they were still catching up.
And now was the critical moment for him to create his Vibranium body, so he naturally couldn't let anyone interfere.
Since he couldn't stop their pursuit, he could only eliminate all of them.
With this thought, he immediately led his mechanical legion out to kill.
Unbeknownst to him, the moment he left, the biological blueprint in the Life Cradle device flashed quickly.
If one didn't observe carefully, they wouldn't notice what happened, and Dr. Zhao Hailun happened to be someone who wasn't very careful.
At the same time, at the entrance of the valley, the S.H.I.E.L.D. assault team was fighting the Base's Iron Sentinels.
Hawkeye's arrow drew a silver arc in the sunlight, accurately hitting a robot's head.
Immediately, an explosion sounded, and the robot's head burst open like a watermelon, with shattered mechanical parts flying everywhere like sparks.
However, before Hawkeye could rejoice, a large group of robots surged towards him like a tide, their steel bodies stamping dense indentations on the rocks, frightening him into continuous retreat.
"Thor, it's your turn!" Just then, Rogers roared, then raised the Vibranium shield in his hand.
Seeing this, Thor nodded, then slammed Mjolnir heavily onto Captain America's Vibranium shield.
Immediately, a powerful energy wave erupted, sweeping towards the group of robots with overwhelming force.
With just one strike, a group of robots were shattered into pieces.
"That combo move was well-executed, but don't celebrate too soon."
Just then, a cold voice came from the Base entrance.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall robot standing there; it was Ultron.
"You finally showed yourself, Ultron."
"You group of ants, you will all be killed by me sooner or later. Why do you have to come to me now? Why don't you enjoy your remaining good days?"
Ultron sneered, not putting the S.H.I.E.L.D. group in his eyes at all. If Loren's people had come, he would have been a little wary.
"You said you would kill us sooner or later, so naturally, we can't sit back and wait for death."
Rogers said, raising his hand and throwing the Vibraniumshield in his hand towards Ultron, attempting to cause damage to Ultron.
However, his full-strength blow was easily caught by Ultron, then fiercely thrown back by him. The powerful force actually knocked Captain America back more than ten meters.
"With your strength, does it matter if you sit back and wait for death or not?"
Ultron shook his head disdainfully, then waved his hand, and a group of robots once again sped towards Captain America and the others.
Seeing this, the Avengers immediately went into full combat mode. Rogers's shield sent a robot's head flying, and the crisp sound of Vibranium colliding with alloy echoed through the valley.
"We must break through the defense line. Ultron must be trying to create a new body; we must stop him."
At this time, Tony Stark, driving his Iron Man Armor, also joined the battle. Not only that, he also had his own Iron Legion.
And while Ultron and the Avengers were locked in a difficult battle, in the laboratory deep in the mine, Dr. Zhao Hailun's fingers rapidly typed code on the control panel, her face very anxious.
Because just now, she discovered that the Life Cradledevice had undergone a strange change while creating Ultron's body.
She found that the 3D-printed body didn't look like a man; it looked more like a woman.
So she immediately wanted to stop the printing and planned to inspect the equipment.
But what she never expected was that the device's operating interface suddenly locked up.
No matter what commands she entered, there was no response, so she had to try to tamper with the code to regain control, but the result was very bad; it had no effect at all.
Not only that, a female voice actually appeared openly from the device.
"Don't waste your energy. This device has been completely controlled by me. Whatever you do is useless. The characteristics of the biological template have all been modified by me."
Suddenly hearing the woman's voice, Dr. Zhao Hailuncouldn't help but turn pale with fright.
However, it was precisely because of this that her mind, which had been controlled by Ultron using the Mind Stone, suddenly awakened.
"You... who are you?" Dr. Zhao Hailun, having come to her senses, no longer cared about Ultron's new body and asked curiously.
"Alice!" The woman chuckled and said.
"You are the super AI created by Mr. Loren!!!" Hearing Alice's answer, Dr. Zhao Hailun was stunned.
He had not expected that besides Ultron, there was another AI in this World that was in no way inferior to Ultron. This was simply incredible.
One must know that Loren had appeared in this Worldlong ago, which meant he had created Alice long before Ultron.
And from the current situation, Alice did not seem to be weaker than Ultron.
How could he not be surprised by this!
"Yes, I'm here to save you. You continue to pretend to operate the device. Everything from now on will be completed by me. After it's done, you will definitely be safe!"
"Thank you, Miss Alice. I don't know how to thank you."
"I don't need your thanks, but if you must thank someone, then thank my Master! For example, make him happy once!"
"..." Dr. Zhao Hailun.
"Hehehe, just kidding!"
Alice's virtual figure moved through the data stream. Wherever her fingertips passed, Ultron's set male body parameters began to undergo subtle changes.
Shoulder width values were compressed by 37%, pelvic structure was adjusted to a curved shape, and the angularity of facial contours gradually softened.
