With Vision's birth, Ultron lost the ability to move freely through the internet.
Since part of Vision had been provided and personally created by him, Vision understood Ultron's core very well and was able to impose major restrictions on it.
After confirming this, the Avengers quickly launched a surprise attack on the Secret Base in Sokovia that had once belonged to Baron Strucker.
