A Death Foretold

Ultron had the Avengers, which was the biggest obstacle for the side of justice, making them have too many concerns in everything they did.

Ultron, on the other hand, didn't have as many concerns.

If any Avengers member tries to find any trace of him, he will immediately break through the wall, using civilians as leverage along the way. He also has a large number of Iron Soldiers lying in ambush nearby as a backup plan.

As long as Cradle has control of the cradle, Ultron has many ways to protect him.

Time ticked by, and there was only half an hour left to complete the task. Ultron still hadn't sensed the Avengers nearby, so it seemed his plan was working.

However, both the Avengers and Ultron overlooked one thing, or more precisely, they overlooked two people.

Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, the twins.

They were indeed blinded by hatred, but they were by no means madmen. They would never side with someone like Ultron who wanted to destroy the world.

After escaping the lab, the two of them stayed nearby, watching how things unfolded.

They witnessed Ultron's escape from the air directly into the downtown area.

The twins initially wanted to escape, but seeing the Avengers and others fail and Ultron hiding to continue transmitting his consciousness, they decided to stop Ultron's plan.

However, due to their previous hostile relationship, they did not immediately contact the Avengers.

Instead, they conducted their own search of the area, and naturally, the location they pinpointed wasn't as precise as that of the Avengers.

However, Quicksilver can search a building in just a few seconds.

After they joined, Quicksilver quickly located the supermarket's warehouse.

Before Ultron could react, Quicksilver had already disconnected the upload line.

"Damn it, I should have killed you all in the first place!" Ultron roared angrily.

Meanwhile, outside, Scarlet Witch, who had a strange connection with Quicksilver, was also rushing towards the scene.

"Kill us? Too bad you can't."

Quicksilver quickly circled the Cradle again, destroying all the Cradle connections.

Ultron angrily reached out and fired an energy beam at Quicksilver, but it couldn't even hit Quicksilver's shadow.

Ultron was furious at the failed plan. Although he couldn't hit anything, he still fired wildly in all directions. Just when he was about to succeed, Quicksilver ruined the plan. He hated Quicksilver, but Quicksilver's speed made it impossible for him to lock onto his target.

The Scarlet Witch was on her way when the commotion alerted Xia Yu and the others.

Ultron was still firing wildly, Quicksilver was constantly dodging within the warehouse area in an attempt to delay him.

However, Quicksilver forgot one thing: Ultron is an artificial intelligence with a computing speed faster than a supercomputer. His seemingly random shooting was actually an analysis of Quicksilver's speed and dodging habits.

Finally, after several beam attacks, Ultron once again revealed a cruel yet human-like smile.

"Got you!"

Just as Quicksilver dodged Ultron's attack as before, Ultron's other hand emitted a very subtle Shockwave, almost invisible to the naked eye, precisely in the direction Quicksilver usually hides.

Caught off guard, Quicksilver was immediately caught off guard and collapsed.

"You really think I don't have a way to deal with you, especially you brat who thinks you're invincible all day long? You're nothing but fast." Ultron said, his hands never stopping, his Five Fingers simultaneously firing five energy beams that pierced Quicksilver's chest.

Determined not to give the Avengers another ally with superpowers, Ultron killed Quicksilver without hesitation.

Ultron's behavior, unlike in the movies, allowed him to evade the Avengers, and Quicksilver stopped him, which led to Quicksilver's premature death. It's hard to tell whether this was a plot device or just a coincidence.

Scarlet Witch arrived first, just as Quicksilver was about to breathe his last.

"Ah~!~!~!~!"

The Scarlet Witch, witnessing her brother's death, instantly went into berserk mode.

The energy from the Mind Stone within his body erupted uncontrollably.

Xia Yu, who followed closely behind, didn't have time to think too much.

He directly transformed the Aether into a shield, covering the witch of Ultron and the three of them, then with a flick of his foot, kicked the Cradle out of the shield's range.

'Boom!'

With a loud bang, the Aether expanded dramatically in all directions.

Even the Cradle on the ground was propelled by the Aether, which passed through both walls and were ejected directly outside the building.

The entire building shook violently, more than 80% of the glass shattered into pieces, and Ultron's body was blown into a twisted mess.

All the Aether were released from his body, with only a few connected in a straight line to Xia Yu's back. Even when facing the witch's rampaging energy, Xia Yu was unusually injured in his internal organs, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This is still the result of Scarlet Witch's power not being fully developed yet.

Xia Yu gave a wry smile; the strength he displayed in the later stages, easily defeating Thanos, was truly impressive.

After the Scarlet Witch unleashed her power, she collapsed to the ground, leaving a large crater in the center.

"Xia, what happened? Are you alright?" Natasha's voice came through the earpiece.

"I'm fine, just a minor injury. You all board the spaceship, I'll go get the Cradle and come right back."

"The Cradle is in my hands, Iron Soldiers are appearing all around us. We need to hurry," Falcon's voice rang out.

He was following Xia Yu and saw the Cradle being shaken out after the explosion.

Having obtained the Cradle, Xia Yu, for safety reasons, immediately opened a portal and brought the unconscious Scarlet Witch and the Cradle back to the base.

Once everyone had arrived, they all returned to the base through the portal, leaving only Xia Yu and Hawkeye behind. Xia Yu had Hawkeye pilot the spaceship back to the base while he conveniently eliminated the few Iron Soldiers.

Xia Yu's injuries were insignificant; after returning, everyone pondered how to deal with the body.

The cell printing of the physical brain was completed, but the uploading of Ultron's consciousness was interrupted because of the presence of the Mind Stone, and it could not be directly destroyed.

Xia Yu naturally used the excuse of healing his injuries to pretend to be clueless.

Until Tony returned from Nexus, he traced all of Ultron's traces on the internet, from his birth at the base, but inadvertently discovered that JARVIS had automatically hidden his main program before being consumed.

He hid in an unknown corner of a server. If Tony hadn't come to Nexus, no one would have known that JARVIS still existed and had unexpectedly achieved some kind of breakthrough.

So Tony came up with an idea: since the body already existed, and Ultron had failed, but JARVIS and this body offered a better option, he wanted to upload JARVIS into this body.

This was met with opposition from everyone, except for Xia Yu, who sat silently to the side.
