The Battle Begins - 1

The moment Chen Tian shot into the sky, the entire battlefield exploded like a powder keg that had been ignited.

Dante's Rebellion drew a crimson Arc Light, neatly slicing dozens of Ultron robots in half wherever it passed.

He whistled, "Fighting demons first, then robots, that's so exciting!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly split into three afterimages, each wielding a different weapon— the Rebellion, Ebony and Ivory, and a demonic sword Alastor, crackling with lightning. Under the triple attack, the robot army fell like Maze in swathes.

Bayonetta gracefully leaped into the air, her long black hair transforming into countless demonic snakes.

Her high heels landed on the head of a robot, and four pistols fired simultaneously, the bullets precisely piercing the cores of more than a dozen surrounding robots.

"Little toys," she said, her red lips parting slightly, her eyes gleaming with excitement, "Let's have a real party!" With the Snap, the ground suddenly cracked open, and several hellish beasts roared as they charged out, tearing the horde of robots to shreds.

Kiana's Subspace Spear spun in her hand, golden energy sweeping across the battlefield like a storm.

"Behold my power!" she shouted, her spear plunging into the ground. Centered on her, the space within a kilometer radius suddenly distorted, and hundreds of robots were forcibly compressed into metal spheres.

"Hahaha!" she laughed triumphantly, hands on her hips. "What kind of junk dares to act so arrogantly in front of me!"

A blinding white light suddenly exploded in the center of the battlefield.

Saitama suddenly appeared, his signature red gloves standing out brightly in the sunlight.

"Wow, so many robots..." He scratched his bald head, his tone as casual as if he were shopping for groceries at a supermarket.

"Then... Normal Punch." With a casual punch, the terrifying shockwave instantly wiped out all the robots within several kilometers in front of him, and even blasted a huge hole in the clouds in the sky.

Ultron's mechanical army surged in like a tide, only to crumble under the onslaught.

Metal debris quickly piled up into a mountain, and flashes of light from energy weapon explosions rose and fell.

"It's no use!" Ultron's voice came from high above, "The power of the Reality Stone is limitless!" As he spoke, crimson energy ripples swept across the battlefield, and countless new robots were created from the Void.

Dante cleaved the robot in front of him in two, then looked up with a wild grin. "Let's see if your gems are more powerful, or my bullets are more numerous!"

He suddenly plunged the Rebellion into the ground, conjured a suitcase from under his trench coat, and with a few clicks of the mechanism, the suitcase transformed into a huge ammunition box and two Gatling guns.

"Try this, you tin bastard!" The gun barrel spun, spitting fire. A dense storm of bullets tore the robot formation in the sky to shreds.

Bayonetta seized the opportunity to leap into the air, her long hair transforming into a gigantic claw that crushed the entire robot army into scrap metal. "This is so much fun!" she shouted excitedly. "Let's dance!"

Saitama stood in the center of the battlefield, watching the endless stream of robots, and tilted his head. "Hmm... looks like I'll have to get a little more serious." He plunged his hands into the ground, "Table Flip!"

Saitama exerted a sudden burst of strength, lifting the entire ground and overturning the robots on Saitama.

"Well done, Saitama- sensei!" Kiana laughed excitedly, and with a flick of her Subspace Spear appeared out of thin air, piercing through all the overturned robots.

However, the next second, Ultron's mechanical voice resounded across the battlefield. "Reality Reconstruction!"

Crimson energy swept across the battlefield once more, and ten times more robots emerged from the Void than before.

Dante and Bayonetta exchanged a glance, their Central City burning with excited fighting spirit. "This is more interesting!" Dante laughed wildly as he charged into the enemy ranks, while Bayonetta twirled her pistol. The two of them danced through the droid army, carving a bloody path through it.

Chen Tian's blue demonic flames traced a dazzling trajectory in the Void, and the moment his fist collided with space, the entire sky shattered like glass.

Countless fragments of space scattered and flew, revealing Ultron's true form hidden behind reality—armor made of alloy, with five Infinity Stones shimmering on his chest and abdomen, and the Mind Stone embedded in his forehead.

"Ha! What's the point of just hiding?!" Chen Tian suddenly vanished from the sky, instantly appearing before Infinity Ultron, his eyes filled with a fervent desire for battle. "Let's have a fight, Ultron!"

Chen Tian's right fist, wreathed in blue demonic flames, traced a dazzling trajectory in the Void as he swung it toward Infinity Ultron's head.

"Spatial Confinement!" Ultron raised his hand and released the power of the Space Stone, instantly freezing the space within a hundred miles.

Chen Tian grinned, his body vanished again, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Ultron.

"Try this!" Chen Tian's right arm muscles bulged, and he unleashed the full power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. With a single punch, the solidified space shattered like a mirror, and the shockwave struck Ultron directly in the back.

The protective shield formed by the Infinity Stones shook violently, Ultron was blasted away, flying directly into outer space.

Ultron's body traced a silver trail in space, and Six Infinity Stones shone brightly. It suddenly turned around, Space Stone light surged, instantly creating hundreds of spatial rifts from which countless meteorites shot out.

"A mere trick!" Chen Tian's fists ignited with blue demonic flames, his figure moving like lightning as he weaved through the meteor shower. With each punch, a meteorite exploded into cosmic dust.

Ultron's Mind Stone shone brightly, unleashing a mental shockwave that struck Chen Tian's mind. Chen Tian groaned, blood seeping from his seven orifices, but his fighting spirit intensified. "That's it?" He bit his tongue hard, the pain jolting him awake and increasing his speed by another 30%!

"Boom!"

Chen Tian's fist collided with Ultron's metal mask, and the shockwave shattered the nearby floating asteroid belt.

Ultron's head was knocked back by the punch, but it immediately retaliated with an energy cannon, a golden beam piercing through the vacuum and shooting straight into Chen Tian's chest.

"Too slow!" Chen Tian dodged to the side, his right leg slashing down like a battle axe. Ultron crossed his arms to block, but his body was slammed into a barren planet by the kick.

"Bang--"

A colossal crater, tens of thousands of meters in diameter, exploded on the planet's surface. Ultron rose into the sky from the dust and smoke, and all six Infinity Stones shone brightly simultaneously.

"Reality Rewrite!"

"Spatial Confinement!"

"Power Augmentation!"

The entire star field suddenly distorted, and countless meteorites transformed into sharp blades, shooting in from all directions. Chen Tian laughed wildly, his fists igniting with blue demonic flames, advancing instead of retreating:

Come on!

"Boom boom boom--"

Every punch landed precisely on the incoming meteorite, and the explosions created a continuous Kakkō in space. Chen Tian broke through the barrage of bullets, teleported above Ultron, and slammed his knee into the top of Ultron's head.

"Crack!" The helmet was completely destroyed.

Chen Tian's eyes lit up. "Ha! They've shown their true colors!"

Chen Tian shaped his right index finger and thumb into a pistol shape, aiming it at Ultron's metallic face. In front of his fingertip, a purplish-black energy ball wrapped in blue flames spun rapidly, emitting a heart-palpitating buzzing sound.

"Illusory Style: Magic: Zi!"

The energy ball at her fingertip suddenly erupted. A purplish-black energy beam with a diameter of over a hundred meters tore through the Void, distorting space wherever it passed.

"Boom--"

A devastating explosion swept across the entire planet. Ultron's head was completely vaporized by the energy impact, and his headless metal body was blown away by the aftershocks, crashing through several floating meteorites.

The unfortunate asteroid was directly pierced through, and magma erupted from its core, forming a magnificent ring of fire in space.

Chen Tian stopped his attack and stood still, the blue demonic flames around him slowly extinguishing. He gazed at the floating remains of Ultron in the distance and scoffed, "That's it?"

Ultron's tattered metallic body suddenly burst forth with a dazzling green light, and the power of the Time Stone rippled eerily in the Void. Chen Tian's pupils contracted sharply as he watched helplessly as Ultron's head reformed in the time reversal, even the cracks on its chest armor disappearing without a trace.

"Time Loop?" Chen Tian frowned. Wasn't this the same trick Strange used against Dormammu?

The restored Ultron slowly floated up, an expression of admiration appearing on its face. "Chen Tian, your power is indeed astonishing. You are far stronger than Captain Marvel." Its voice suddenly turned cold, "But you shouldn't have given me a chance to breathe."

Before he finished speaking, Ultron's metal fingers were already the Snap. The Six Infinity Stones simultaneously unleashed destructive light, causing the entire universe to tremble.

"Smack!"

The Snap of Infinity Ultron's fingers echoed through the Void.

The light from the Six Infinity Stones suddenly erupted, and a destructive energy wave Ultron, instantly spreading throughout the entire universe.

Reality is distorted, time collapses, space is torn apart, power Oblivion, Soul Dissipation, Mind Collapse.

This is a true cosmic-level annihilation.

In this universe, Natasha is still fighting alongside Dante and others against Ultron's army of robots when she senses something is wrong.

Suddenly, her fingers trembled slightly.

"Hmm?" She looked down and found her fingertips turning to ash little by little.

"What is this...?" Her pupils contracted sharply, and she immediately realized what had happened.

She abruptly looked up at the sky, and her body began to disintegrate, the disintegration spreading from her fingertips to her arms, then to her shoulders, her chest...

"No... no..."

At the last moment, the image of Barton jumping into that pit and sacrificing himself flashed through her mind.

Then--

She turned to ashes and vanished in the wind.

Ultron stared in disbelief at the unharmed Chen Tian, a look of shock appearing on his face for the first time.

"This is impossible..." Ultron's voice wavered. "The power of the Six Infinity Stones should be enough to wipe out everything in this universe!"

When Ultron snapped his the Snap, Chen Tian looked at his own body, but it did not turn to ashes or show any abnormalities.

He remembered the words that the Ancient One had once told him.

"You do not belong here; you are an independent being, a variable that no universe can comprehend!"

He looked up at Ultron, grinned, and said, "Did you make the wrong wish?"

"Who exactly are you...?" Ultron's voice trembled violently.

"I don't care about this or that!" Chen Tian's entire body burst into blue flames, Demon Chen Tian reappeared.

"Ultron! Time to begin round two!"
