Chapter 253: Ultron?!

Lin Feng stared fixedly at the camera, his gaze deep and still like the waters of an abyss, its bottom unseen.

He was waiting, waiting for Black Doctor to make the first move.

Second by second, Lin Feng went from standing still at first to sitting on a bench along the road beside the beach after midnight.

The sound of waves crashed against the shore as a damp, salty sea breeze blew in from the beach. Everyone on the beach had long since left.

Only a few couples, dressed lightly, stepped through the cool seawater beneath the brilliant starlight of the night, leisurely enjoying their romantic world for two.

Lin Feng silently watched those couples walk away, then lay down on the bench.

With his hands beneath the back of his head as a pillow, he stared straight up at the night sky.

If he had not traveled to the Marvel World back then, he would probably still be a shut-in who only knew how to play games and waste his days away.

If not for this strange opportunity, the flaws in his personality probably would never have changed.

After going through all this, though his path appeared easy, every step Lin Feng took had actually been along the edge of a cliff.

"Was I missing my family?"

Lin Feng gave a self-mocking smile.

His feelings had nearly faded to nothing. Even when it came to Queenie, his feelings were merely the unwillingness born from liking her, not love in the true sense.

Queenie was like Lin Feng's first love. He did not want that first love to end in regret.

That was why he had displayed so much emotion.

But it was all built on unwillingness. There was not much love in it.

Yet now, thoughts of his family surfaced in his mind without warning. Those more than twenty years of feelings had also become increasingly restless as Lin Feng's strength grew ever greater.

Screech!!!

Suddenly, just as Lin Feng was immersed in his memories—

A long white streak appeared beneath the deep night sky, cutting across the bright full moon.

Like Cupid's arrow piercing a heart.

But this streak was no Cupid's arrow. It was a figure clad head to toe in gold-and-red armor.

Boom!!!

A heavy landing rang out beside Lin Feng. At the same time, Lin Feng expanded the domain of Feng Hou Qimen.

"Lin Feng, have you thought it through?"

Seeing Lin Feng's calm expression, Tony's faceplate flashed transparent, revealing his face.

Lin Feng looked at his visor in surprise. He had not expected this guy's technology to have advanced so far.

"Thought it through? I already killed Carol. So what if I thought it through? That black egghead won't listen to you, and neither will that guy."

Lin Feng rose from the bench and sneered toward another direction.

Standing diagonally behind Tony was a blond man draped in a red cape.

The man held Stormbreaker and looked coldly this way, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.

Lightning flickered in Thor's eyes like thunderclouds before a storm.

Beside him, waves of frigid aura spread out as though they had crossed time itself from the Ice Age to arrive here.

Loki, whose skin was the color of an ordinary human's, grinned wickedly at Lin Feng. A pale layer of frost mist visibly rose from his body.

Elsewhere behind Tony stood Fury, his entire body dark-skinned and with only one eye.

He stared at Lin Feng with venomous hatred, as though the hatred in his gaze wished to carve Lin Feng into a thousand pieces.

"You used the Time Machine again. This time, it triggered massive earthquakes and hurricanes throughout North America and other places. Volcanic eruptions have appeared across Southeast Asia and the seas and islands in the easternmost parts of Asia. Some island nations have completely vanished from history. Lin Feng, you cannot use it again. Otherwise, next time, it may endanger all humanity."

Tony spoke solemnly.

He raised his hand. Beams of light projected from the five armor-covered fingers, forming a holographic video above his palm.

The video showed the impact Lin Feng's journey had had on Earth.

The crimson lava was like blood flowing across the Earth, like demons from hell swallowing every living thing.

After the howling hurricanes swept over the ground, they left behind only barren stretches of land. Everything had been destroyed.

"Enough nonsense. You must have come prepared again this time, but I only care about one thing. Black Doctor is with you, right? Give him back to me."

Lin Feng merely glanced at the video before ignoring it.

He had anticipated the deaths long ago.

Sacrifices were inevitable if he wanted to achieve his current strength.

Lin Feng had long been prepared for that, and he felt no psychological burden over it.

"Him?"

When Lin Feng said that word, Tony froze for a moment.

Seeing Tony's reaction, Lin Feng immediately understood something.

"Looks like you really were fooled. How stupid."

Lin Feng chuckled, his laughter carrying a trace of mockery.

"When we captured Black Doctor, he had already stopped responding. We used him to develop a new artificial intelligence: Ultron."

Though Tony was puzzled, he did not show any other emotion.

They had previously used violent methods against Lin Feng and the others, and they had also tried negotiations, but both had failed.

This time, Tony would not repeat those mistakes. He would fight directly.

He refused to believe he could not take the Infinity Stones from Lin Feng.

The moment Tony finished saying Ultron, a robot made of Vibranium suddenly dove down from the sky.

The robot stood more than two meters tall. No one knew how high in the sky it had been hiding.

When Lin Feng looked up and saw it, the Ultron robot's downward-thrust fists had already ignited with orange-red flames from friction.

It was accompanied by an explosive sonic boom. The visible sonic cloud spread outward like ripples as the Ultron robot accelerated.

Lin Feng's gaze sharpened, and he instantly used Luan Jin Duo.

In an instant, unimaginable pressure descended upon every cell in his body.

At the last moment, Ultron stopped ten centimeters above his forehead, completely motionless.

Lin Feng had forcibly pinned Ultron in midair with Luan Jin Duo, nearly freezing its time itself.

"Attack!!"

The moment Lin Feng looked up, Tony shouted the command to attack.

Thor and Loki attacked at the same time. Violent lightning and freezing cold erupted from the two brothers' hands.

With boundless killing intent, they charged at Lin Feng. Stormbreaker and the two ice spears condensed by Loki were like the two sharpest weapons in the world.

Carrying their own powerful attributes, they pierced through the air and flew toward him.

Whoosh!!!

Crackle, crackle, crackle!!!

The flying battle axe and spears let out a howling whistle, but it was quickly drowned out by the sound of lightning.

Tony, the closest one, immediately retreated. His faceplate instantly returned to Iron Man's classic appearance.

As Tony retreated, his chest erupted with dazzling light. With a hum, a thick beam scorched the air and shot straight at Lin Feng.

Watching this familiar encirclement, Lin Feng's golden-red eyes showed no panic. Instead, he fixed his gaze on the immobilized Ultron above him.

He could tell that Black Doctor was hidden inside this Ultron.
