Ulysses Klaue
Xia Yu did overlook this point, because in the movie, an Iron Soldier snatched the Scepter amidst the chaos, and Thor chased after him but failed to catch up. However, here the Scepter is not in front of everyone.
But it doesn't matter, since Ultron only started thinking about creating a perfect body for himself after he got the Scepter.
The other two Infinity Stones are in a large laboratory, which is very well protected.
Unlike in the movie, people didn't criticize Tony too much. Because of Xia Yu, the consensus was to prepare for threats in the universe well in advance. There were more than one Infinity Stones, and everyone was already mentally prepared.
Therefore, the most important thing right now is to discuss how to deal with Ultron.
He just said he wanted to wipe out all of humanity. In fact, an artificial intelligence that possesses a variety of high-tech data from JARVIS's server is quite terrifying, especially for human society.
Sure enough, early the next morning, news came from many places that the Iron Soldiers had attacked military camps and factories, looting large amounts of metal and various equipment.
"Defeating him isn't actually difficult; the hardest part is completely eliminating him. He's everywhere; he's present wherever there's internet access. Unless we completely drive him off the internet and then destroy all his clones."
Tony began his analysis.
"All the clones?" Thor asked, puzzled.
"Yes, he looted so much metal and equipment; he must be building an assembly line to produce Iron Soldiers. Each Iron Soldier is essentially his clone. We must ensure the complete annihilation of them."
Tony frowned; in fact, he didn't have a good solution either.
"Ultron wants to destroy us all. We must find him before he comes after us."
The Captain said something obvious: the key is how to find it.
In the afternoon, several more factories around the world had large quantities of various metals stolen. This time was different from the last time; not only were there several Iron Soldiers, but also...
Moreover, the workers in the robbed factories started talking nonsense, indicating they were greatly frightened. Some said they saw many horrific scenes.
It seems Ultron has found an ally.
"Those twins, it seems Strucker has achieved his goal. They have something in common with him; they both enjoy terrorist activities," the Captain remarked casually, unaware of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver's background.
"Captain, it seems he's gone now. Strucker committed suicide in prison, and the word 'peace' was written in blood on the wall." Natasha picked up her phone and showed everyone a photo.
The group exchanged glances, all agreeing that Strucker wouldn't commit suicide, and almost simultaneously shouted, "Ultron!"
"Strucker poses no threat to him, so why bother killing him?"
The Captain pondered for a moment, then asked the others a question in return.
"So, what does Strucker know? Ultron doesn't want us to know, like relationships or something."
Tony pulled a virtual keyboard from the table and started searching quickly.
JARVIS's being devoured caused Tony a lot of inconvenience. Of course, he had other intelligent programs, but he just hadn't had time to activate them yet.
"Just as I expected, all of Strucker's information has been deleted without a trace, leaving not a single mark." Tony shrugged.
"Not all of them. The government should still have paper records and archives; the CIA definitely has some."
The Captain's idea was correct. Strucker had been captured for so long that many intelligence agencies had already compiled thick files on him, not only in electronic form but also in traditional paper form.
We immediately obtained the information through official connections, and each person carried a large stack of documents, flipping through page by page to see if we could find the information we needed.
As Xia Yu flipped through the pages, he came across information about Ulysses Klaue, an illegal arms dealer who had once successfully entered Wakanda and stolen 250 kg of Vibranium.
"I know this guy. He's a crazy arms dealer who once claimed he'd discovered something amazing that could change the rules of the entire industry," Tony said, pointing to the file in Xia Yu's hand.
The group immediately pulled up Ulysses Klaue's detailed file on the computer and discovered a brand on the back of his neck.
"What's that on the back of his neck? He didn't have it when we last met."
Tony pointed to the brand on the back of his neck.
Hearing that the two of them seemed to know each other quite well, the Captain looked at Tony with a puzzled expression.
"It was just some industry gathering; I didn't sell him anything," Tony shrugged and explained to the Captain with a sigh.
"Banner, check what that brand on the back of his neck is. It looks like there's some kind of writing on it."
"No need to investigate. That means 'thief, 'Wakanda it's the language of Wakanda. This guy was a thief. He entered Wakanda, stole 250 kg of Vibranium, and escaped at the cost of lives. We've been looking for him."
Princess Shuri's voice came through; she had just seen the file on the computer that her brother had returned to Wakanda a few days ago.
"It seems Ultron wants to use Vibranium to create a new body for himself," Xia Yu said calmly.
Deep down, I felt a little sympathy for Ultron. Poor Ultron, he went to so much trouble to create a body, only to have it end up benefiting Vision. Judging purely from the movie, Vision's appearance seemed purely for the purpose of killing Ultron.
This guy, who should have been the strongest Hero in the Avengers, didn't play any role except for killing Ultron and hooking up with Scarlet Witch. He was practically a burden in the Ultimate Battle.
Of course, Xia Yu would definitely make full use of his labor power, otherwise he would be letting down that Mind Stone.
"Tony, can you find where this guy is hiding?" the Captain asked Tony.
As long as Ulysses Klaue is still doing business with the outside world, Tony can certainly find him.
I never expected this guy to be even more cunning than I thought. He actually hid on the Africa coastline all along, right under Wakanda's nose.
Due to Xia Yu's strong suppression, Tony did not specifically build a Hulkbuster Armor in this world. However, to prevent Scarlet Witch from causing trouble, Xia Yu still left Banner at the base for this operation.
Also remaining as a destabilizing factor is Bucky, whose mind harbors Hydra's control mechanisms; who knows what might happen if Scarlet Witch were to infiltrate him.
"What if he uses a diversionary tactic to lure us away from our base?" Banner asked helplessly.
He wasn't afraid of death; what everyone said was that he was afraid of losing control and hurting the people around him. Compared to that, Banner felt safer around Xia Yu and the others.
"Don't worry, with me here, they can't hurt you." Shuri pressed a button in the lab, and an Energy Shield appeared around the lab.
This is a technology unique to Wakanda, and it's incredibly powerful.
With Xia Yu's teleportation ability working, no one could harm the people in the base. Xia Yu and the others nodded in relief and prepared to head towards Africa.
