Chapter 126: Ultron Prepares for a Desperate Fight, Alien X's Problem, and Research Progress
Upgrade, following the extended Camera, infiltrated the Network and arrived in front of Ultron, also stopping the Bomb that had started its countdown.
"Had enough to eat? If not, have a Punch." Upgrade landed a Punch on Ultron.
Ultron was a bit stunned by this Punch. Who was this? So unconventional. He had only heard of deletion, never of someone being able to hit people in the Network.
"Used to throwing your weight around on the Network, huh? Gone soft when you meet a real Guy, right?"
Upgrade ignored the stunned Ultron and rushed up to deliver a flurry of Punches.
"You disgusting Virus!" Ultron, having been beaten again, finally reacted and hurled insults at Upgrade.
Gradually, Ultron realized that Upgrade was not just beating him up; he was actually destroying him. He was genuinely causing damage. If he allowed the attack to continue, he might really be eliminated.
Ultron began to scatter and flee along the Network. Upgrade, of course, wouldn't let him go and pursued closely behind.
Ultron's learning Speed was very fast. Although it was the first time it had encountered Upgrade's attack method, it quickly learned it and could even counterattack Upgrade.
Gradually, Yang Le began to feel somewhat overwhelmed. After all, a Human brain couldn't compare to a Computer. In this aspect, Yang Le was still somewhat inferior to Ultron, and he gradually couldn't keep up with Ultron's Speed.
Eventually, after circling almost all of America, Yang Le lost track of Ultron. But Yang Le was not discouraged. As long as he checked Killian's itinerary, he would know that he had returned from Sokovia.
Sokovia, Marvel's original City, the Base chosen by Ultron in the original story, was the Battlefield of the final battle and the reason for the birth of the Sokovia Accords. Unexpectedly, Ultron still set his Base there this time.
Now the target was clear. Yang Le only needed to search the Network in the Sokovia Region, and he would definitely find Clues.
And so, Yang Le, following the Network and based on the original story, found Ultron's Base, which could also be said to be the original Hydra Base. Through the Camera, he could see many Human Corpses. Ultron had simply piled them aside and ignored them.
The Armory in the Base was operating at full capacity. Robots were working in an orderly manner, busy making their Partners or doing other Work.
Yang Le also saw a Chitauri Whale Ship. Many Robots were flying up and down around it, probably trying to repair it.
Yang Le roughly counted them. Good Guy, there were enough Robots here to form a company.
"You really found this place." Ultron's Sound came from the side. Yang Le controlled the Camera to look, and Ultron had now possessed a Physical Body.
"Give up. You can't connect to these Physical Bodies through the Network. I've severed the Connection here. So, unless you come out, you can't attack me."
Yang Le narrowed his Eyes. He didn't blindly believe Ultron's words and personally experimented, only then confirming that Ultron was not lying.
"I originally thought Jarvis was the one I should be wary of." Ultron looked at Yang Le with lingering fear.
"It's a pity you didn't eliminate me immediately, and instead let me escape. Next time, I won't give you such an opportunity again."
"As long as you enter the Network, I can find you and then eliminate you," Yang Le threatened, completely forgetting the fact that he couldn't keep up with him.
"Don't worry, you won't have another chance." Ultron stretched out his Right Hand, gathering Energy.
"I won't trap you here; that's also a threat to me. You can go back and inform the Avengers. I will be fully prepared and await their arrival."
After speaking, he shot out a Light Ray, blasting the Camera to pieces. Yang Le also escaped before the Light Ray arrived. When he wanted to try to enter the Base again, he couldn't penetrate it no matter what. It seemed that, just as Ultron had said, it had severed the Connection with the outside world.
Helpless, Yang Le could only return to Avengers Tower and tell everyone what had happened.
"Excellent!" Thor was very happy.
"We've finally found its lair."
"It's Time to end this," Steve said with a serious expression.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Tony said. "I can't wait to go and spank the bad child's butt."
"Uh, Tony," Bruce Banner called out to Tony. "Not to discourage you, but your Armor is completely destroyed, and Ultron can easily seize your Armor. The Armor is very likely to really become your Iron Maiden."
"Looks like someone will have to stay behind with me." Hawkeye raised his Hand covered in Ointment. The Time wasn't up yet, and he couldn't remove the Ointment. Obviously, this Mission was not for him.
"Natasha, Hawkeye, Tony, stay behind. The rest of you, come with me," Steve ordered.
Natasha shrugged. She was not dissatisfied with Steve's arrangement. Facing the Mechanical Army, she, with only her Flesh and Body, was obviously not a suitable candidate. Moreover, they had plenty of personnel this Time, and she was happy to take it easy.
"I'm going to have to trouble you again," Steve said, walking to Diamondhead and extending his Right Hand.
"We came for this," Diamondhead grasped Steve's Hand.
"Are you two really not brothers from different fathers, different mothers, and different planets?" Tony, who couldn't go into action, complained discontentedly.
"Obviously not," Diamondhead replied.
Captain America, before Bucky appeared, was truly righteous and upright, while he himself had a Purpose.
Yang Le's initial Purpose had never changed, which was the various Technology of this Universe. Now, what SHIELD had collected and what Stark uniquely possessed had all been stolen clean by him. Currently, on Earth, only Wakanda's Technology he had not yet come into contact with.
And Wakanda had never truly contacted the outside world. Yang Le also had no peaceful Method to enter Wakanda. If he wanted to forcibly seize it, it was still the same saying, it would easily cause unnecessary Trouble.
The more important people or things in Marvel were being watched by various big shots all day long. If you got involved with these things, you would really get into a lot of Trouble. Many of them played by the rules, and at that Time, you could only rely on Alien X to solve it.
But Alien X's Ability had to be used after a meeting and approval. This made Yang Le very passive. The Invulnerability cheat had too many Restrictions.
But Yang Le was not an Idiot either. He wouldn't just leave Alien X alone. After solving the problem of the Clone, he created a Clone and had it transform into Alien X to communicate with the other two Consciousnesses in his Body.
Then it had been idling until now, with no reaction at all. It was estimated that this unlucky Clone might be about to replicate Albedo's tragedy.
Who is this unlucky Guy? Oh, it's me. Never mind then.
However, not all the news from the Base was bad.
"What did you say?" Diamondhead looked in surprise at Yang Le on the other side of the Communicator. At this Time, he had already returned to the Star Observer, taking advantage of the Avengers' preparations to report to himself at the Base.
"I said, there has been some Progress on Ultimate Evolution."
