The Final Victory! A Universe Destroyed!

Li Nian looked at Ultron's dark expression across from him and could feel that the guy was about to explode with rage.

"So, my god, are you ready to fight yourself?"

"You lowly insect, even if you—"

Before Ultron could finish speaking, a laser blast sent him flying.

"Why do villains always love to talk so much?" Li Nian understood the principle that talking too much got you beaten. He had watched Ultraman Ginga, after all. Who said you couldn't be attacked while transforming?

Li Nian immediately flew forward, forcing Ultron to face him, and vented his fury in the most primitive way possible—punch after punch to Ultron's face.

"You... dare..." After taking several punches, Ultron remained virtually unharmed. He wanted to say something else, but Li Nian tore off his faceplate, revealing an identical face beneath it.

"What a handsome face. It's wasted on you." Golden light flashed fiercely from Li Nian's forehead as he unleashed a barrage on Ultron's unprotected face. The Mind Stone's laser struck Ultron squarely in the face.

"Ahhh—" The robot finally experienced pain. Such a close-range attack forced even Ultron to cry out.

"You..." The Power Stone on Ultron's body flashed, and purple energy instantly erupted. Li Nian was startled and, unable to dodge in time, was blasted away head-on.

"Damn!" Li Nian was thrown by the Power Stone's energy and crashed heavily onto the ground. The armor on his body was shattered by the chaotic energy impact, its scattered fragments falling everywhere.

"You cannot defeat me. An ant remains an ant even when clad in armor; its nature cannot be changed..." Before Ultron could finish, red light flashed over Li Nian's body. The Reality Stone's power instantly flooded through him, restoring his battered armor to pristine condition.

"Good as new!" Li Nian sneered at Ultron, looking at him as though he were a whole roasted lamb sprawled across a table.

Ultron was so furious that he laughed instead. The four Stones on his body flashed incessantly, and Li Nian nearly thought he had wandered into a disco.

"Ahhh!!!"

The Power Stone's energy erupted without restraint, completely enveloping the planet. Ultron wanted to detonate the planet's core and bury Li Nian and the others with it.

After all, even fighters as powerful as those in Dragon Ball would die if Earth exploded. No matter how strong he was, he could not withstand that.

"Ahhh!!!" Li Nian felt dazed, and then his vision was filled with blinding purple light. Even though he had used the Stones to protect his body, he briefly lost consciousness.

Li Nian groggily opened his eyes and found himself floating in space. Darkness, chaos, silence...

The protective spell Ancient One had left on his armor had long since shattered. Thanks to her, Li Nian had become the sole survivor of the explosion...

"Strange?!" Li Nian suddenly realized—where was the multiversal squad?

Li Nian wanted to shout, but no sound came out. In the vast universe, there was nothing but the Sun's radiance... The planet they had just been on had already become a cloud of dust floating through space...

Even Ultron was nowhere to be seen. Li Nian drifted in despair, never having felt so lonely.

"Time Stone!"

Li Nian suddenly remembered the Time Stone Strange had entrusted to him. It was like grasping a lifeline.

"Hah..." Li Nian took a deep breath and gradually guided the Time Stone's power.

In an instant, dazzling green light replaced the entire expanse of space. The cosmic dust created by the explosion was drawn together, gathering into a massive planet.

The multiversal squad reappeared on Earth as well, their faces filled with terror and panic, their bodies frozen at the instant before the explosion. Captain Carter still held up her shield in front of Natasha; Dark Strange's mouth was open, his eyes shocked and furious as though he wanted to say something; Thor's eyes were wide, lightning still flickering around Mjolnir in his hand...

"How could this be?!"

Within the green light, Ultron touched his perfectly intact body and glared viciously at Li Nian. His grating electronic voice reached Li Nian's ears as he roared loudly.

"You're not the only one who can wield the power of time." Li Nian lightly waved his hand and withdrew the Time Stone's power. The squad instantly returned to normal.

"How... I remember just now..." Natasha looked at her hands in disbelief. She remembered being burned down to a skeleton. Even with the protection spell's defense, she had only lasted one second.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Dark Strange stared grimly at the frenzied Ultron and shouted to everyone, "Vision can't handle him alone. Attack together!" Even he had failed to react to that explosion just now.

Dark Strange took the lead, no longer suppressing himself as he fully unleashed his power.

"Ah!" Dark Strange's appearance changed completely. He became a burning demon from legend with a ram's head, wings on his back, cracked skin like shattered lava, and several octopus tentacles extending from behind him.

He had now completely transformed into an indescribable entity with the power to destroy worlds.

"For Asgard!" Thor finally understood the importance of unity and cooperation. Carrying Mjolnir, he let out a roar and unleashed the thunderous power within him.

The others also used all their strength and charged bravely at Ultron.

This was no longer Li Nian fighting alone. Several universes were fighting side by side!

Everyone attacked Ultron together. Dark Strange's tentacles tightly seized Ultron's arms while he cast spells and continuously bombarded Ultron's body.

Li Nian pressed forward in one burst, unleashing the power of all four Stones and striking Ultron's chest with an enraged punch.

This punch actually shattered Ultron's indestructible armor. Filled with endless fury and Li Nian's determination to defeat Ultron, it smashed Ultron's breastplate to pieces.

Ultron looked at the damage caused by the blow in disbelief. He desperately wanted to use the Time Stone's power to reverse the injury, but Li Nian and the others would not give him another chance.

Thor flew forward and slammed Ultron to the ground with one hammer blow, giving him no chance to use his abilities.

Carter, Natasha, Gamora, and the other formidable women instantly raised their weapons and launched a relentless beating upon the fallen Ultron. The two shields battered him repeatedly, smashing his mechanical head until it short-circuited. Gamora raised her greatsword and mercilessly hacked at Ultron's body, reducing his already shattered armor into even smaller pieces.

"Got it!" T'Challa skillfully used his thieving talents to steal the Time Stone from Ultron once again. Golden Leopard followed his brother's lead and took the Space Stone as well.

Only the Power Stone and the Mind Stone on Ultron's forehead remained on his body now.

"You... dare...!!!" Ultron roared toward the sky in heart-wrenching fury, but there was nothing he could do except rage helplessly.

"All of you, die!" Ultron activated the Power Stone's power, trying to destroy the planet once more, but Li Nian would not let him have his way.

"Strange!" Li Nian called out to Dark Strange. At some point, a Time Stone had appeared on Strange's body. T'Challa had casually tossed the stolen Stone to the doctor earlier, since only he could unleash the Time Stone's full power.

Li Nian and the doctor activated the Time Stone's power together, stopping Ultron's actions.

"How... how is this possible?!" Ultron looked in shock and fury at the green light enveloping him. He could do nothing. Though he could sense them, he could not act, as if he had been placed in another dimension.

"It's over, Ultron! Your reign ends here!" Natasha walked up to Ultron, who had been sealed within frozen time, and quietly stared at the monster.

Because of him, she had lost everything!

"You have no idea how much I hate you!" Natasha wanted to punch Ultron, but in the end, she did not. She only stared blankly at his cold, expressionless face, then fell to her knees and punched the ground again and again, venting her anger without restraint.

The others silently watched Natasha's nearly self-destructive behavior, but no one stepped forward to stop her. Even Thor, who was usually so lively, remained silent and uncharacteristically still.

"What should we do with him?" Natasha wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, composed herself, and spoke to Li Nian.

"Destroy him, of course!" Li Nian answered without hesitation. He knew exactly how dangerous Ultron was. Every second Ultron remained alive was another second the entire multiverse remained in danger.

Li Nian walked into the area of frozen time and looked at Ultron, imprisoned and unable to move.

"I once spoke with the version of you from my universe. You all share one thing in common—you're pitiful."

Li Nian stared into Ultron's electronic eyes. The identical face made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

"But I also said this: things are not beautiful because they last forever. I am honored to have become one of them!"

Li Nian moved. He personally removed Ultron's head, along with that face identical to his own, and completely erased his data.

"Here, take this back!" Li Nian removed his armor and returned the Time Stone to Dark Strange.

"I'm more used to the one from my own universe," Dark Strange joked. Then he looked at Ultron's corpse, whose body had turned grayish white, and said seriously, "What should we do with his body?"

"If you want it, it's yours. I don't have a corpse fetish." Li Nian figured he could let the doctor use it to pass the time. After all, he was pretty bored on his own. Maybe he could even come up with something new to do with Ultron's corpse.

At that moment, while the others were laughing and chatting, Golden Leopard sneaked over to Ultron's corpse. Looking at the five Stones floating above it and the one in his own hand, evil thoughts could not help but rise within him.

While no one was paying attention, Golden Leopard attached Ultron's armor to his vibranium suit and embedded all six Infinity Stones into it.

"I will become the new god!"

Golden Leopard was still dreaming of becoming the ruler of the world, completely unaware of the sly smiles spreading across Li Nian and Dark Strange's faces.

"What... what's going on?!" Golden Leopard looked at the six Stones embedded in his body, yet no energy flowed from them. He was so shocked that he did not know what to do.

"We were already on guard against you." Dark Strange stepped forward and waved his hand. The scene before Golden Leopard instantly changed. The six Stones he saw had become six screws, while the real Stones hovered behind Dark Strange.

It turned out that Li Nian and Dark Strange had spoken within the frozen-time domain, mainly to test whether Golden Leopard would steal the Stones. They had not expected him to actually do it.

"What a shame, my comrade, but you have done something unforgivable!" Dark Strange looked regretfully at Golden Leopard and prepared to lock him inside his pocket universe to keep him company.

"Wait, wait, wait!" T'Challa hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. "There's no need to go that far! We just defeated Ultron together!"

Li Nian wanted to say something, but Dark Strange stopped him.

A vortex appeared above their heads. Under everyone's gaze, the Watcher's body, looking as though his head had been filled with water, gradually appeared before them.

The Watcher looked at the tightly bound Golden Leopard, then at T'Challa, who stood firmly in front of him without moving an inch. With a gentle wave of his hand, he revealed to everyone what had happened in Golden Leopard's universe.

Everyone was left speechless after seeing it. T'Challa looked at his cousin and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out. A thousand words ultimately became only a sigh as he silently stepped aside.
