Ultron? Just a Clown!

Ultron's words intensified the already tense atmosphere.

The atmosphere was tense on both sides.

Even Tony himself was having a headache.

He was sitting firmly on the opposite side of the captain and the others because he didn't want to back down or admit defeat.

He felt that Ultron's analysis was most likely correct; even Earthlings themselves wouldn't believe it, let alone aliens.

Especially Venom, he's incredibly brutal!

This was evident during the battle against the Chitauri Vanguard. Peter fought in front of them while Venom secretly conjured a head and grabbed many Chitauri warriors, biting their skulls off.

The Venom didn't eat them because there wasn't a single nutrient Reagan the Chitauri locust's head.

However, his violent nature has already been revealed, and he is indeed an unstable factor.

Tony disliked aliens from the very beginning, not even the aliens from the Galactic Plumbers.

Earth belongs to Earthlings. Why should aliens be allowed to interfere here?

However, it cannot be denied that Venom did participate in the war to protect Earth. Ultron, you want to arrest him before he has even committed any crimes. Isn't that just discarding him after he has served his purpose?

This is absolutely disheartening!

Besides, just because you say Venom will commit crimes in the future doesn't mean it will definitely do so.

That's far too arbitrary; no one can believe it.

What gives you the right to decide someone else's future with just a few words?

Arresting someone without any basis?

If you can arrest Venom Energy of the Universe, can you say Natasha is a former Soviet spy tomorrow? The day after tomorrow, can you say Steve is actually the captain of Hydra? And the day after that, can you say that H.A.M.M.E.R.. has been completely taken over by the dark side, and the Avengers are about to be turned by Norman?

This is utterly absurd!

"I absolutely disagree!" Steve slammed his fist on the table, furious, his neck turning red with rage.

He was a soldier and had seen too many veterans abandoned by society, so he was particularly sensitive to these kinds of things.

This is betrayal!

Steve pointed at Tony's nose and cursed angrily.

"Ultron's calculations of the future based on data have never been wrong," Tony insisted.

This is why he never bowed his head.

A few months ago, when Ultron began arresting potential criminals who had never committed a crime, he also faced enormous public pressure.

Under this pressure, Ultron halted its immediate arrest operation and merely displayed the results of its predictions. Without exception, all the crimes it predicted came to pass.

If it weren't for this, Tony might have let it run wild.

Now that Ultron has stated that Venom poses a potential threat, then that's probably the case.

He didn't see anything wrong with it; if there was anything wrong, it was that he shouldn't have laid a hand on Peter Parker.

"These are not the same thing at all!"

Steve was furious and roared, "Those potential criminals you arrested before all had prior convictions and continued to walk the line of the law even after their arrests, but Venom is not the same as them!"

"The Symbiote population and we had a good relationship before. Venom may have some personality issues, but he hasn't really done anything particularly outrageous!"

He's right.

Venom is indeed unpredictable, but not entirely evil. With Peter as his guide, he has done a few petty thievery things, but these are insignificant compared to what he has accomplished.

There is no reason to arrest him just because he has a foul mouth.

What does this mean?

Tony sneered, "You think he deserves special privileges just because he made some minor contributions?"

"I think you're just trying to use this opportunity to protect your good buddy, aren't you?!"

Tony glared at Steve and said angrily, "Don't think that just because he's been working with you now, you can wipe the slate clean!"

The two started arguing again.

This left Peter and Venom looking at each other in bewilderment.

This whole thing started because of them, but now they've become outsiders, watching Steve and Tony argue endlessly.

Neither of them was willing to back down, but fortunately, Ben arrived shortly afterward.

Upon seeing Ben, Tony couldn't help but shrink back, his imposing aura diminishing somewhat.

No matter what, Ultron was in the wrong for Peter. Of course, he could only apologize for that one thing and still insist on the result of Ultron's algorithm, which required containing Venom.

Ben naturally couldn't agree to that.

He did indeed intend to embarrass Tony, and also planned to completely destroy Tony Ultron creating another uncontrollable entity.

He could figure out what Ultron's purpose was, so at this moment he followed Ultron's thoughts and acted very angry and furious.

Ultimately, the meeting came to nothing.

The tougher Ben was, the less willing Tony was to back down.

Neither of them could gain the upper hand, and continuing to argue might actually escalate the conflict between Ultron and the Galactic Plumbers.

In the end, Tony couldn't do anything to Venom.

But he stubbornly insisted that everyone could wait and see, Ultron's analysis would be correct.

But nobody paid him any attention.

In the blink of an eye, Avengers Tower was deserted, leaving Tony alone with his machines.

As Steve walked out of the building, he couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong, Captain?"

Seeing his expression, Ben couldn't help but ask.

Steve shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that it feels like the Avengers are practically dead now."

It's a pity that not long ago, they fought side by side against all kinds of powerful enemies, but now they have fallen apart due to internal divisions.

Indeed, even the most powerful organization becomes vulnerable once internal cracks appear.

Ben felt that, given the current situation, a civil war was likely to break out sooner than expected.

This is actually a good thing.

Once the civil war led by Ultron breaks out, it will be kept under control no matter what.

It's better to put everything out in the open this time and solve the problem once and for all than to fail at a crucial moment later.

However, he also knew that Steve was actually suffering quite a bit, caught between Tony and the Winter Soldier.

But Ben didn't say anything to comfort him; he just patted Steve on the shoulder and secretly slipped something into Steve's hand.

Steve was taken aback.

Looking down, I saw a key and a piece of paper in my hand, with an address written on the paper.

He was puzzled, but said nothing.

Ben clearly wanted to hand the items over to him without being noticed by any informants, which meant that the two items might be useful later.

So Steve memorized the address and put the key away.

They parted ways quietly.

Steve and Sam walked side by side for a short distance before stopping and looking back at the Avengers Tower and the departing figures of Ben.

I always have a feeling that another crisis is about to strike.

Steve didn't mention it. After leaving Avengers Tower, Ben, Peter, Uncle Ben, and Aunt May returned to Queens, with Felicia going along.

In the evening, Mary Jane also came, and after the family had dinner together, Uncle Ben and Aunt May took advantage of Ben's presence to keep Peter in check, lest things really turn out as Ultron had predicted.

Venom was naturally very unhappy; he felt that Stark, with his mustache, and Ultron were targeting him.

However, he naturally dared not say anything to Ben, hiding inside Peter's body like a coward.

Peter spoke well of Venom to Uncle Ben, saying that Venom wasn't actually that bad—although Peter's personality had changed a bit recently, he was still relatively well-behaved at home, after all, he was afraid of Ben disciplining him.

"However, I feel that Stark seems a bit..."

Uncle Ben thought about everything he had seen at Avengers Tower today and didn't know how to describe it.

He is actually a person very similar to Captain America, and therefore he is somewhat worried about Tony's crazy actions.

He felt that it was definitely not a good thing for that genius to sit in the computer room all day, watching coldly from behind the screen as those robots slowly came to rule humanity.

"The crime rate in New York has indeed decreased during this period, but people's lives have become very oppressive, and the boundaries of Ultron Robot's management of humans are becoming increasingly blurred..."

Uncle Ben was filled with worry.

He felt that the robots were slowly encroaching on some kind of boundary, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"That's what I think too, but he can't persuade me otherwise."

Ben shook his head.

It would be strange if Tony were so easily persuaded.

Let him do what he wants with Ultron. At least it's tangible and visible. He'll learn his lesson after this experience.

If we try to stop him, it would be even worse if he created Ultron 2.0.

And Ben was indeed a bit too lazy to deal with this matter.

Eunice's upgrade is almost complete. He has also discussed the upcoming plans with Banner, Connors, and Wanda, and even specifically transferred Wanda and Quicksilver back to Primus.

There are basically no problems on Earth, but there are still things he needs to do in the universe.

Sakaar is the true headquarters of the Galactic Plumbers!

The Galactic Plumbers's reputation in the universe is growing, but there are many other powerful forces in the universe, and quite a few that are not afraid of them. In many cases, it is enough for Caiera Galactic Plumbers show his face, but he cannot remain hidden forever.

For example, this time, Caiera messaged him saying that the ruler of the Kree Empire requested a meeting with him.

The Kree have probably confirmed that Thanos is truly dead, so they have begun to take the power of the Galactic Plumbers and Sakaar seriously, deciding to have a formal conversation with him and discuss the release of Ronan the Accuser.

In addition, he also needs to appear at the Galactic Federation Conference. The Three Great Empires may become Four Great Empires in the future, which no one can ignore.

In addition, there seems to be some situation on the Nine Realms side as well...

In comparison, Ultron, a mere specter without even Infinity Stones, was outmaneuvered by Ben from the very beginning, and all his contingency plans were laid bare for him. He was hardly a threat at all.

He's just a Joker at best.

My coma is really bad; writing this part of the story was so difficult. I'm going to start the new storyline first, and let Ultron play around on Earth by himself. When the main character comes back, he can just watch Ultron and Tony make a fool of themselves.
