At Avengers Tower.
Beneath the top floor, quite a few staff members were setting up the entire party venue and preparing various supplies for the evening.
But above the top floor, in the laboratory, Stark was still operating the computer unhurriedly, while Dr. Banner stood to the side, watching his movements.

He lightly tapped a key, and the entire screen was instantly covered in streams of data that extended outward at tremendous speed.
The speed was so great that the entire screen seemed to have gone black. It was impossible to make out a single line of code.

"Yes. This is a new Ultron Program, with computing power more than a hundred times greater than before. It can move freely through the internet. I'm afraid only hardware could stop
