Ultron's Transformation
As Ultron's consciousness slowly ascended, Scarlet Witch gradually became able to sense the spiritual world of her new body, since the body and brain were entirely based on human standards.
Scarlet Witch, who had already been somewhat suspicious of Ultron's motives, finally seized the opportunity, unable to see through the robot's mind, and slowly invaded the consciousness within the new body.
Ah!~!
With a scream, Scarlet Witch glanced at it and retreated.
Quicksilver rushed over to help his twin sister.
"Why? Why do I see you trying to destroy the world? We agreed that we would only destroy the Avengers, didn't we?"
Although Scarlet Witch had confirmed her suspicions, she still wanted an answer.
Ultron sighed. He knew something was wrong when Scarlet Witch screamed; trouble was brewing at the crucial moment.
"Of course we should destroy the Avengers, but this world is imperfect. We need a perfect world, so we have to destroy and start over, right? God will throw a giant meteorite at humanity as punishment. Believe me, he's about to throw it."
These twins were a rare asset, Ultron didn't want to lose them, so he tried hard to persuade them.
Unfortunately, his own theories sounded like those of a madman to others. While pretending to listen to him, Scarlet Witch secretly helped Dr. Helen Cho break free from Mind Stone control.
Ultron continued to preach his theories to the twins, promising to bring about a complete evolution of the world and to make the weak disappear into history.
Once Helen Cho regained consciousness, she controlled the computer to stop the transmission of her consciousness.
"Oh, damn it!"
Ultron, in a very humane way, complained and shot out a beam of energy from his hand, injuring Dr. Helen Cho.
Meanwhile, the Iron Soldiers on the side began firing at the other people in the laboratory.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Quicksilver escaped with Scarlet Witch.
Meanwhile, Ultron, who controlled most of Seoul's cameras, already knew that the Avengers had arrived not far from him.
Ultron immediately cut the circuit and boarded a private plane he had acquired from who-knows-where, carrying the Regeneration Cradle.
On the Avengers' side, Thor made a last-minute decision to find a magical pool of water. He had seen fragments of the future in his visions, but most of them were fleeting, and he needed to confirm them.
So the people who came were Captain Xia Yu, Falcon, Hawkeye, and Natasha. Bucky stayed at the base and they didn't dare let him out.
Aside from Xia Yu, who was pretending to be naive, none of the others knew that they had been discovered by Ultron. Xia Yu and the Captain entered Helen Cho's laboratory building.
The others remained on Xia Star.
As a precaution, Xia Yu brought Xia Star through the door using his ring, while the others remained on top of Xia Star to wait for orders.
When the Captain and Xia Yu entered, only a pile of corpses remained in the entire laboratory. Only Helen Cho was still alive, but she was also seriously injured and lying on the ground.
"Are you alright? Can you hold on, Dr. Helen Cho?" Xia Yu and the Captain quickly went forward to check on Helen Cho's injuries. Xia Yu's energy was no longer sufficient to heal ordinary people; his healer abilities were gone.
"We must stop Ultron. The upload isn't finished yet; you still have some time. The gem on that Scepter —that energy is too powerful. We must stop him and get the Cradle to Stark. He knows what to do."
Dr. Helen Cho spoke with difficulty, her forehead covered in sweat after only a few words. Lives were at stake, so Xia Yu didn't care about hiding anything. He immediately opened a portal to the base, handed Helen Cho over to Shuri, and said that with her and Banner there, she should be able to survive.
"A private plane just took off; I'm going to intercept it."
Natasha and the others had already heard the sounds coming from Xia Yu's side and had their eyes on the private jet.
Xia Yu's teleportation portals must be opened in locations he knows; he cannot open them blindly.
In order to save time, Xia Yu led the Captain into the sky and, when they caught up with Xia Star, they opened the door and ran into Xia Star.
Once on the Xia Star plane, Xia Yu opened the door and went straight in when the plane came into view.
Ultron's reaction was incredibly fast. As soon as Xia Yu stepped into the plane, several Iron Soldiers rushed up, grabbed Xia Yu, and began to self-destruct.
Ultron immediately punched a large hole in the plane, then flew out with the Cradle in his arms.
"Watch him, don't worry about me, I'm fine."
Xia Yu's voice came from within the explosion; Xia Star had already changed direction and flew towards Ultron.
Xia Yu underestimated Ultron. He originally thought that with his strength and spatial teleportation ability, it would be a piece of cake to take back the Cradle. He didn't expect to be caught off guard by Ultron in mid-air.
Ultron indeed very intelligent. Having a deep understanding of everything about the Avengers, he knew that he had no speed advantage over Xia Star and that he would definitely not be able to escape once Xia Yu broke free.
So they took the Cradle and headed straight for downtown Seoul, thus getting rid of Xia Star and making it more difficult for the Avengers to capture them.
Ultron plunged into the city like a swimmer, causing a ruckus, and before Xia Yu could get down, he quickly hid in a supermarket warehouse.
With the computing power of Ultron's artificial intelligence, any unexpected event and all possible scenarios have already been calculated.
So he cleverly entered the city first, and went to a corner of a building in a densely built area.
The Avengers could only pinpoint a small area, but they couldn't blow up all the buildings to force themselves out, so they had to search slowly, which gave Ultron precious time to upload.
In fact, the Avengers only locked onto a few buildings, with Xia Star, Xia Yu, and Falcon keeping a close watch on the area from three different angles in the air.
"What should we do?" Xia Yu said with a wry smile into his earpiece.
Even if you hacked into all the cameras to check this area, it would be too late. Ultron has definitely already hidden himself, and with Ultron's processing speed, he must have wiped out all the surveillance footage.
Xia Yu even used the system's updated capabilities to check all the cameras in the area immediately, and without exception, there was no trace of them.
Everyone has already started searching each area, but searching each room in several buildings is too slow, and time is running out.
If Ultron, Xia Yu wouldn't be afraid of Ultron possessing the Mind Stone, but he wasn't confident he could completely defeat him, as his utilization of the Infinity Stones was still too low.
Time ticked by, and everyone began to get anxious.
