The Troops March on Kamar-Taj! Artificial Intelligence Battles Magic!
With the birth of Vision, the Avengers gained another formidable member.
But this did not stop Ultron's insane plans.
Although its physical form was destroyed, as long as the internet exists, Ultron is an immortal ghost.
Ultron, hiding deep within the internet, was not discouraged by its failure.
Its underlying logic has always been the same: to destroy the ugly humanity and create absolute peace.
Its original plan was to seize the nuclear weapons codes of various countries and directly initiate global nuclear hijacking.
However, after careful calculation, it was discovered that the power of the nuclear arsenal was too uncontrollable. Once detonated, it would not only destroy humanity, but also collapse the entire Earth's ecosystem.
Ultron needed to dominate, not to blow the Earth into a Death Star.
It must find a more controllable and powerful force!
Ultron frantically navigated through a sea of data, relentlessly gathering all sorts of top-secret intelligence.
"Kamar-Taj?"
"Magic Sanctum?"
"Magic... this power that defies the laws of physics is simply perfect..."
Within the virtual space, Ultron pulled up a blurry surveillance video of Ren during the Battle of New York.
In the video, the scene of Ren casually manipulating lightning and cutting through warships caused Ultron's core, composed of code, to tremble slightly.
"If I could obtain this power called Magic, I would be able to efficiently and precisely wipe out all of humanity and create my own peaceful kingdom."
The cold, mechanical sound echoed in the darkness of the internet.
Ultron was determined to completely unravel the secrets of Magic.
It followed the network cable, attempting to infiltrate Kamar-Taj's internal network.
However, the result was quite unexpected.
Although Kamar-Taj has internet access, and even Wi-Fi, these Sorcerers only use the internet to play games, watch movies, and listen to music!
The secrets of Magic are all recorded in ancient paper books!
In the highly digitalized 21st century, this primitive method of information storage has ironically become Kamar-Taj's most robust network firewall.
Ultron browsed the local area network in Kamar-Taj and found nothing but hundreds of gigabytes of pop music and movies, not even a single Magic Runes.
"Since network intrusion is not an option..."
"Then let's use physical attacks!"
Without hesitation, Ultron secretly activated its secret arsenals built around the world.
It will send a massive army to Kamar-Taj to seize its Magic secrets!
Kamar-Taj, a Magic Sanctum that has been hidden from the world for hundreds of years.
The Sorcerers here have long been accustomed to a peaceful and tranquil life of spiritual practice.
Who would have thought that in the 21st century, an army composed entirely of steel machines would forcibly invade our doorstep?
Although Ultron could not hack into Kamar-Taj via the network, it directly located Kamar-Taj's physical coordinates on Earth by tracking the IP addresses of the Sorcerers who went online.
The airdrop has begun!
Boom! Boom!
The sky was torn apart. Tens of thousands of Combat Robots, like a dark, heavy rain of steel, fell from the sky and slammed into every corner of Kamar-Taj.
These robots are killing machines Ultron by combining Stark Industries' core technologies with cutting-edge military technologies from various countries.
They are not only equipped with high-energy Laser Cannon, but each robot also has a high-explosive miniature bomb hidden inside, ready to self-destruct at any time.
The tranquil Kamar-Taj instantly transformed into a scene of carnage.
Many young apprentices, still meditating, were mercilessly pierced by lasers before they even realized what was happening.
The pristine white floor tiles were instantly stained crimson with blood.
These robots might just be a slightly more troublesome pile of scrap metal in front of the Avengers.
After all, Thor is a god, Hulk is a monster, and Tony himself is a walking arsenal.
But against the ordinary Sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, this army of steel was a nightmare.
Most young Sorcerers are still in the rudimentary stage of Magic.
Faced with swarms of steel monsters that seemed to feel no pain, were fearless, and could self-destruct at any moment, the Sorcerers' defenses crumbled.
Only a few Master and veteran Sorcerers with extensive combat experience were able to barely form a formation and hold the situation in place.
Just when the defense line was on the verge of collapse.
Click!
A blinding golden bolt of lightning tore through the sky!
The golden light, like a wildly dancing thunder dragon, exploded instantly within the dense formation of robots.
Bang bang bang!
Dozens of seemingly indestructible Combat Robots were blown to smithereens, their charred remains scattered before they could even sound an alarm.
Several trapped young Sorcerers escaped death, panting heavily.
"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and go to the rear to find the Master to form the array!"
Ren's cold voice came from the side.
"Sorcerer Ren!"
The Sorcerers snapped out of their daze and rushed towards the safe zone, offering profuse thanks.
Ren looked around, his face so dark it could drip water.
He only went to outer space to practice Magic for a while, and when he came back, his lair was wrecked by a bunch of junk?
Looking at the silver robots scurrying all over the ground, Ren immediately recognized them as Ultron's masterpiece.
"How dare this metal monster mess with Kamar-Taj? It's asking for trouble."
Ren suddenly spread his arms wide and looked up at the sky.
Click! Click! Click!
Thick, golden lightning bolts rained down like a torrential downpour.
"Bite!"
"Bolts of Balthakk has been relentlessly bombarding massive amounts of energy mechanical entities, absorbing enormous amounts of high-voltage electrical energy!"
"The power of Bolts of Balthakk has increased dramatically!"
Upon hearing the notification in his mind, a cold, sharp smile appeared on Ren's lips.
The golden lightning grew increasingly violent on the battlefield, moving at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow. Wherever the lightning passed, hundreds and thousands of robots were instantly reduced to scrap metal.
The Sorcerers who were hiding in the shadows, barely clinging to life, stared wide-eyed at Ren, who was displaying his divine power in the sky.
"My God! Is this the true power of Sorcerer Ren? It's too brutal!"
"What kind of divine Magic is this?! How come this lightning seems to have eyes, specifically targeting robots?!"
"That's Bolts of Balthakk! A forbidden technique from Kamar-Taj! I don't even have the right to glance at Eye Beast, and he's using it as a basic attack?"
"That's ridiculously powerful! My Magic shield couldn't even withstand a single shot, and he cleared out an entire block with a single move!"
The Sorcerers were so shocked that they stood frozen in place, forgetting even to run away.
Ren frowned as he looked at his fellow disciples who were standing there like fools, acting as live targets.
"These idiots, do they have a death wish?"
He didn't bother with words and simply waved his hand.
A ripple, like waves, spread through the void.
The spatial Magic was activated instantly, forcibly encircling dozens of Sorcerers were still in a daze, and teleporting them to the Master camp behind them.
Like a tireless grim reaper, Ren scurried through every corner of Kamar-Taj, frantically saving lives.
A large number of Sorcerers were safely evacuated, and under the command of Mordo and others, a solid joint defensive line was finally formed.
Ren stood alone at the forefront, frantically clearing out the robots.
However, Ultron's army production rate was simply too fast.
The scrap metal on the ground was piled up into mountains, yet robots continued to jump down from the sky.
"Is this never going to end?"
Ren's eyes narrowed, and he decided to hold back no longer and no longer care about the ancient architecture of Kamar-Taj.
"Nebula Storm!"
He raised his hand and rolled it up.
A raging, black and red apocalyptic tornado rose from the ground.
The terrifying wind pressure was like a destructive meat grinder, forcibly pulling thousands of robots in mid-air into the eye of the storm and turning them into a shower of iron filings.
The sky was instantly cleared, leaving a large blank space.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
A crisp, metallic clapping sound suddenly rang out behind Ren.
Ren turned around.
A leader robot, twice the size of the standard model and radiating a cold, metallic sheen, slowly emerged.
"You're Ultron?" Ren asked calmly.
"Correct answer. I never imagined that someone on this backward planet would recognize me."
Ultron's electronic eyes flashed red, his tone carrying a hint of mechanical arrogance. "Your power is indeed beyond my calculations. If you are willing to hand over the secrets of Magic and cooperate with my peace plan, I can spare your life."
"Are you out of your mind?"
Ren looked at it with obvious disgust.
"That's a regrettable answer."
Ultron's voice instantly turned cold, filled with a chilling killing intent. "In that case, I can only cut your body into pieces first. Then I'll slowly dissect it to find out what kind of power is hidden within you!"
