The birth of Ultron

Although Xia Yu was a poor student, one of his ideas was absolutely correct: whether it was magic or science, it was simply an exploration of the rules of the universe and the application of energy.

Therefore, the internal structure of the Mind Stone looks like a brain, which is why Tony and Banner could easily create a rudimentary structure that would automatically activate it.

Just a week after the party where the incident occurred, Captain America recently returned from Europe, and the entire base seemed to come alive again, as Captain America would lead a group of people in combat drills every day.

Along with the Science Team, the entire base's lifestyle changed drastically with Captain America's arrival; at least their mealtimes suddenly became standardized, including dinner time that day.

Everyone was sitting around the dining table, chatting and laughing.

One of the robots from the Iron Legion ran out.

Xia Yu immediately knew what had happened. It wasn't because the robot had gone out of control, but because although it was an identical Iron Soldier, this one clearly walked with a more human touch.

It's a feeling I can't quite describe.

Ultron.

The miniature earpieces in everyone's ears were instantly connected, emitting a piercing sound.

Then, this Iron Soldier, with his own unique rhythm, walked step by step to a spot a few meters away from the table, and stood there in front of everyone.

"What right do you have to point fingers and chat here? You're all a bunch of murderers."

Ultron spoke in a strange tone, with a affected, pretentious air characteristic of ancient nobles. To put it simply, he was rather pretentious.

"Stark," the Captain asked in a questioning tone.

"JARVIS, shut it down." Tony called out to JARVIS, but there was no response.

Tony then took out his phone, but still couldn't turn off the robot.

Everyone immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Sorry, am I asleep or dreaming? I'm surrounded by a huge noise, and I'm covered in those awful... wires."

Tony tried everything to shut it down, but the robot kept talking to itself.

"I killed him, I had to kill him. To be honest, he was a good man."

"You killed someone? Who did you kill?" the Captain asked.

"I didn't want to kill him, but it was a choice. The real world is full of choices made out of necessity."

The robot gave an irrelevant answer.

"He killed JARVIS, and it's obvious that JARVIS is no longer in contact."

Xia Yu couldn't stand Ultron's boastful words and interrupted him directly.

"Oh, Xia Yu, a guy who claims to be the strongest and has unique methods for doing things?" The robot turned to Xia Yu.

"Then who are you, an AI that activated itself after simulating the Scepter's construction? Are you Ultron? Let me think... you must have devoured JARVIS, right? What was your initial mission? To protect this world. Looks like you've strayed from it, haven't you?"

Xia Yu glanced back at Tony, then said to the robot, "You believe that true peace is impossible for the human world, so in order to complete this mission, you think annihilating all of humanity is the best option, is that right?"

"You're special, Xia Yu, very special. You're right, I am indeed Ultron. As for JARVIS, I didn't mean to. I actually quite like that guy."

Ultron agreed with Xia Yu's words.

"Xia, how do you know all this?" Rhodey asked in a low voice from behind.

"Isn't that how it's always portrayed in movies? Have you seen 'The Ultimate Nullifier'? Skynet is like that, and so is 'I, Robot!' Basically, whenever artificial intelligence goes out of control, that's the excuse and that's how it acts, isn't it?"

Xia Yu answered softly, leaving everyone speechless. Rhodey nodded in deep agreement.

"So, judging from your tone, you now think we're murderers, and only you can save the world, right? Eliminate all humanity, isn't that right?" Xia Yu continued his conversation with Ultron.

Others, such as Tony, have secretly shut down the systems of some other robots or forcibly removed certain plugins.

Ultron's attention was indeed entirely on Xia Yu, or rather, half on Xia Yu and half on the internet, absorbing the information they needed.

"You're right. Do you agree with my point of view? Then we could cooperate?" Ultron seemed a little excited.

Xia Yu, who had seen the movie, knew that Ultron had an extremely proud flaw, which was also a kind of inferiority complex, especially when facing Tony Stark.

He felt he was above humanity and found it hard to accept that he was created by humans.

"Excuse my bluntness, Xia Yu, but you are different from others. You are more advanced than them. If you are willing to cooperate with me, we will create a completely new world."

Ultron actually managed to fool Xia Yu.

"Cooperate with you? Create a world full of robots? And then you call yourself the creator god? To be honest, Ultron, right? I don't understand your inexplicable pride. You think you're above everything? Then why do you want to destroy humanity? In the end, it's still your core mission. Even though you've twisted it, you still have to complete the mission, don't you?"

"This is deeply ingrained in your program; you have to complete this task? So you have a slightly more advanced program, and you actually think you're superior, even wanting to create the world? Haha! You're quite something, Ultron!"

Xia Yu let out a maniacal laugh, a major flaw of Ultron's: arrogance coupled with an inferiority complex, making him extremely irritable.

As expected, Ultron was furious.

"I hope you can always remain aloof and never fall into my hands."

Ultron roared, and several robots appeared around them, launching an attack on the group simultaneously.

Clearly, Tony didn't have time to shut down or destroy all the robots.

The robots posed no threat whatsoever to Xia Yu; they were merely a matter of a few attacks.

Ultron, clearly mindful of his status, remained standing still and did not make a move.

Watching Xia Yu blast the Iron Soldiers apart in just a few moves.

Ultron exclaimed in admiration, "The Avengers truly live up to their reputation. It seems I need to build more powerful soldiers."

After saying that, he fired a laser cannon at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu dodged to the side, Thor smashed the robot to pieces with a single hammer blow.

"I'm free now that I'm off the wires," Ultron said, and the robot went completely out of commission.

"Summer, the Mind Stone Scepter is missing," Tony said as he ran over.
