"As long as we recreate the battle between Venom and Riot from back then and let Ultron smash up the Sanctum Sanctorum, he'll be finished."
"We can use the Demon Gods' power against Ultron. He doesn't know magic; the Demon Gods' methods are precisely his blind spot."
"At the same time, shutting down the Sanctum Sanctorum counts as a form of hunger marketing. It'll improve user retention."

"All right, Doctor." Schiller said to
