Wanda's figure rose into the air, and the crimson chaotic energy around her exploded.
The wind in the suburban wilderness seemed to be suppressed by an invisible giant hand, and even the roaring engines of the distant mechanical legion suddenly became muffled and oppressive. The airflow of the entire world was completely imprisoned by the crimson domain.
The Chaos Magic Lynn had previously restrained and deliberately suppressed was now completely unleashed, pouring out without reservation. Without any concerns about being restricted or harming innocent people, this desolate and empty wilderness was the only battlefield where she could unleash her power to her heart's content.
On the distant horizon, a dark, massive torrent of machines was rapidly approaching.
Thousands upon thousands of Ultron mechanical soldiers soared through the air, the clattering of mechanical joints and the roar of engines intertwining, the overwhelming metallic constructs obscuring half the sky.
The terrifying mechanical legion that the Avengers saw as capable of destroying cities and crushing battlefields was nothing more than a bunch of insignificant ants in Wanda's eyes now that she was fully unsealed.
She slowly raised her pale palm, and a sudden surge of crimson light appeared in her eyes.
Without any fancy moves or build-up, pure and ultimate Chaos Magic burst forth from his body, like a surging crimson wave, instantly sweeping across the entire battlefield.
The dozens of mechanical soldiers charging at the forefront didn't even have time to activate their attack programs or turn their guns around before their hard Vibranium Alloy bodies suddenly twisted, bent, and collapsed under the invisible force of chaos.
The armor was kneaded and shaped like clay, its intricate mechanical components, energy core, and circuitry collapsing silently. There was no violent explosion, no blinding flashes of light, only a one-sided, silent, and absolute crushing and destruction.
This is the terror of Chaos Magic: it disregards the laws of physics, ignores defense, and surpasses all conventional combat power; it is the most unsolvable battlefield modifier.
In mid-air, Wanda, her red hair flying wildly, remained indifferent, her eyes devoid of joy or sorrow, as if she were merely brushing away dust.
Her five fingers suddenly clenched together.
A whole row of mechanical soldiers galloping in the distance instantly froze in mid-air, all programs, power, and intelligence locked down, like puppets whose strings had been cut, falling stiffly in unison.
With a series of crisp metallic cracking sounds, hundreds of mechanical bodies simultaneously disintegrated and shattered, scattering metal fragments everywhere, turning into a pile of useless scrap metal in an instant.
The mechanical troops rushing in from behind, still following Ultron's ultimate command, fought fearlessly. Countless gun barrels and energy cannons spewed forth, bullets and energy beams intertwined to form a terrifying firepower net covering the entire area, pouring down on Wanda in mid-air.
This dense attack, capable of instantly tearing apart an ordinary superhero, landed in front of Wanda, but was steadily blocked by a layer of condensed and thick crimson energy barrier.
The bullet Oblivion the moment it touched the barrier, and the energy shell exploded, creating only tiny ripples that couldn't harm her in the slightest.
Wanda slightly raised her eyes, and a scarlet whip suddenly shot out from her palm, sweeping across the entire battlefield.
Wherever the whip's shadow passed, all the mechanical soldiers, regardless of strength or distance, silently shattered, disintegrated, and turned into parts, resulting in pure and complete Oblivion.
Across the vast wilderness, the clanging of metal echoed incessantly, and fragments rained down. The once mighty, sky-covering torrent of machinery rapidly melted away, crumbled, and vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A complete rout, no doubt whatsoever.
On the ground, the Avengers, who were confronting Ultron, caught a glimpse of the extremely unequal battle behind them and were filled with utter horror.
Steve's pupils contracted as he stared intently at the red figure hovering in mid-air. He lowered his voice and asked in a deep voice, "She's always holding back her strength?"
Natasha's fingers tightened slightly, her eyes extremely serious, and she slowly uttered, "... Lynn is right."
With Wanda keeping the mechanical minions occupied the entire time, the people on the main battlefield at the front could finally be relieved of their worries and could focus all their efforts on attacking Ultron himself.
Inside the base's backup server room, Lynn sat cross-legged with beer and snacks beside him, listening to JARVIS's account of the battlefield, a faint smile playing on his lips.
His previous judgments had never been wrong. Wanda, now fully unsealed, is already one of the top rule-based combatants in the Marvel Universe, with Chaos Magic naturally countering everything. At this stage, even if he were to fight Wanda at her full power head-on, he wouldn't have an absolute chance of winning; at most, he could only fight to the point of mutual destruction.
At the main battlefield ahead, the air was so oppressive it was almost frozen.
Having completed his ultimate physical transformation, Ultron stood silently in the center of the wilderness, his crimson electronic eyes cold and piercing as he indifferently watched the Avengers charging towards him.
His mechanical legion, built with all his resources, was unilaterally slaughtered, yet there was no panic in his eyes, only utter indifference and contempt.
"Foolish resistance."
Ultron's cold, synthesized voice echoed across the wilderness, carrying an extreme contempt for humanity. "Incomplete emotions, weak bodies, limited understanding—you will never comprehend the true meaning of evolution. These mechanical creations are nothing but discarded pawns; what does it matter if they are destroyed? True rebirth has already arrived. I will bring true peace to this world!"
Before he finished speaking, he stomped his foot on the ground and suddenly shot forward!
The new Vibranium bio-body experienced a surge in explosive power, speed, and resilience, moving so fast that it tore through the air, creating a deafening sonic boom. The energy slots hidden in its shoulders and neck erupted with dense, dark purple electricity, and a sharp, Vibranium energy blade condensed in its palm, slashing directly at the charging Tony.
clang--!
The energy blade collided with the Mark 43 Armor with a deafening metallic explosion. The powerful shockwave instantly forced Tony back, tearing a deep crack into the armor's surface.
At this moment, Ultron's overall combat power completely surpasses Tony's current armor configuration.
"Everyone hold him back! Trap him completely! Just give me a little time, and this matter will be over!"
Tony quickly regained his footing, shouted a warning to everyone, and unleashed a series of pulse cannon shots from his palm, with golden energy beams continuously suppressing Ultron's movements.
The four worked seamlessly together, attacking and defending in unison, encircling and relentlessly pursuing Ultron. Their goal was perfectly aligned: not to defeat or severely damage him, but simply to trap and lock him down, creating an opportunity for Tony to connect to Ultron's central nervous system.
"You think you can trap me with your meager strength?"
Ultron scoffed coldly, his body crackling with electricity as a violent energy shockwave exploded, instantly blasting away the people locked in close combat. He retreated, his crimson eyes flashing rapidly as he instinctively connected to the global network, attempting to call for support from a remote mechanical legion while simultaneously initiating a consciousness transfer escape procedure.
But the next second, his web interface completely malfunctioned, froze, and crashed.
An invisible data network covered the entire area, blocking all external network ports, transmission channels, and backup nodes. The once unobstructed global network has now become an airtight prison, and no matter how hard Ultron frantically pushed its computing power to crack it, it was ultimately to no avail.
Inside the server room, he calmly instructed, " JARVIS, first block all his escape routes, then we'll talk again once Tony is in position."
"Receive."
A gentle yet overwhelming electronic voice rang out. JARVIS, empowered by the Mind Stone, completely overwhelmed Ultron in terms of computing power and authority, instantly completing a network-wide blockade and utterly cutting off all of Ultron's escape routes.
On the battlefield, Tony seized the moment when Ultron lost his focus, swooped down at full speed, and his armor's mechanical arms gripped Ultron's shoulders tightly, locking the body's energy transmission interface.
He deftly disengaged from the back of his armor and precisely connected the dedicated data interface extending from his glasses to the mechanical port at the back of Ultron's head.
"Now!"
Banner, whose Hulk form had faded, immediately stepped forward and worked with Tony to suppress Ultron's body, preventing any possibility of escape.
The process of stripping, replacing, and taking over bodily permissions was initiated instantly, and Ultron's underlying control was being rapidly stripped away.
A deadly sense of crisis instantly engulfed Ultron. His eyes flashed crimson light wildly, and his voice was filled with extreme rage and disbelief. "Impossible! Who's stealing my data access?! Who's tampering with my body's programming?!"
He struggled frantically, exhausting all his primal energy. His Vibranium body unleashed a terrifying force of struggle, and dark purple energy raged and surged, attempting to forcibly sever the link and break free from his restraints.
Steve immediately stepped forward with his shield raised, channeling all his strength to suppress Ultron and hold him firmly against his chest. Everyone exerted their strength, sealing off the chain layer by layer, giving Ultron no chance to retaliate, escape, or break free.
In the vast wilderness, Wanda had already wiped out the last batch of mechanical soldiers. Metal debris littered the earth, and the once-mighty mechanical legion was completely annihilated, leaving not a single piece of armor. She turned to look at the main battlefield, watching Ultron, who was being held captive by everyone. Her crimson energy slowly receded, and she stood suspended in the air, ready to fill in and provide support at any time.
In the center of the battlefield, data takeover has entered its final stage.
JARVIS's data flow, like a vast tide, surged into the underlying architecture of Vibranium, layer by layer covering, dismantling, and cleaning up Ultron's core logic.
In Extremis, Ultron activated his last trump card—the Deep Self-Replication Protocol. He disguised the remaining fragments of his consciousness as system logs, attempting to infiltrate the outer cache nodes, preserve a remnant of his power, and wait for an opportunity to be reborn.
But JARVIS, having completed the gem empowerment, already completely surpasses Jarvis in computing power.
He calmly dismantled all the disguises, stripped away the escape code line by line, and completely overwrote, cleared, Oblivion all remaining fragments, leaving Ultron no room to turn the tables.
"No! My evolution! My new world!"
Ultron let out a final, frantic roar, its crimson eyes flashing violently, but it had completely lost all power and authority, reduced to a utterly trapped beast's struggle.
Inside the server room, Lynn watched the rapidly fluctuating liquidation data on the backend and calmly instructed, "Completely devour and liquidate the system, investigate all nodes across the entire network. Clean up all data related to Ultron, hidden backups, and fragments of consciousness. I don't want any Ultron One or Two to appear in a few days."
"Clear."
JARVIS, with its computing power at full capacity, infiltrated the globe along the original network links of Ultron, traversing all hidden servers, cache nodes, and residual programs.
Devouring, erasing, clearing, overwriting, layer by layer, leaving nothing out.
From this point on, all the hidden dangers that had been rooted in the entire network of Ultron were completely eradicated, with no possibility of revival.
On the open field, the crimson light of Ultron's body completely extinguished, and the rampant energy and restless mechanical functions subsided.
After a moment of silence, a warm and clear blue light slowly appeared, replacing the previous violent dark purple energy with a gentle and pure glow.
A completely new, complete consciousness, possessing independent life, slowly awakens within the perfect Vibranium body.
JARVIS's new life has officially begun in the world.
The battlefield fell silent instantly.
Ultron, who had just been struggling and roaring in a counterattack, was now completely silent.
The perfect Vibranium body stood silently, its limbs relaxed, all the surface patterns extinguished, without any unusual movement, energy, or data fluctuations; an eerie calm enveloped the entire wilderness.
The Avengers dared not relax for a moment, remaining fully engaged in controlling their bodies. Tony locked his shoulder straps, Steve's shield pressed against his chest, and everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit.
Everyone knew that Ultron cunning, deceitful, and adept at disguise and lurking, so no one dared to let go rashly and give him any chance to turn the tables.
In the dead silence, the originally dark eyes suddenly lit up.
There was no violent crimson, only two gentle, clear, and ethereal azure halos, flowing quietly.
The same body, but completely shed Ultron's cold-blooded killing intent, gaining instead a pure life force and a gentle texture.
Even though their auras had completely changed, everyone's vigilance remained undiminished, and the suppressive force only tightened further.
After a few seconds of silence, a gentle, refined, and clear voice, devoid of any mechanical coldness, slowly rang out. "Everyone, you can let go now."
"I am not Ultron."
Tony's eyes sharpened as he stared intently at the other man, his tone wary. "Words are meaningless; prove it yourself."
The newborn body showed no restlessness, and in a calm tone, he slowly recounted one private story after another that only he and Tony knew.
From the hidden flaws in Tony's armor iterations; from the clandestine operations of the overall coordination Battle of New York; to the quiet, meticulous filtering of junk information and recording of everyday life's trivialities—every single detail, meticulously crafted, is a previously undisclosed secret.
The detailed and honest narration eased everyone's tension, and their guard was mostly lifted. Tony's tense shoulders gradually relaxed, a huge weight lifted from his heart, and he was now convinced that this was the JARVIS he had lost and found again.
Just as everyone relaxed slightly, Banner's calm voice suddenly rang out, shattering the tense atmosphere.
Don't be careless.
"From the very beginning, Ultron hacked into and viewed 99% of the archived data on Tony's servers. He knows all these past details."
Banner's expression turned serious. "These facts alone don't prove you're JARVIS; they only prove that Ultron's information reserves are comprehensive enough."
His words were a wake-up call for everyone!
The entire area instantly went on high alert, and the previously relaxed suppression tightened again, firmly trapping the body once more.
Wanda, who had landed and stood still, had a slight surge of crimson energy around her, ready to use it to imprison her at any moment.
JARVIS's blue eyes flickered slightly, and he completely abandoned any verbal explanation, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness and compromise. "Fine, verbal proof is meaningless."
" Wanda, please restrict my movements for now and monitor me at all times."
Crimson energy instantly enveloped his body, and the gentle yet powerful chaotic force locked down all movements, completely eliminating any possibility of abnormal activity.
Tony sighed helplessly, raised his hand to contact S.H.I.E.L.D., and arranged for personnel to enter the site to clean up the mechanical wreckage and handle the cleanup work. Steve, Natasha, and the others remained on guard, not daring to relax for a moment.
Inside the server room, Lynn sat lazily cross-legged, with beer and snacks at his side, listening to the somewhat comical stalemate on the battlefield through JARVIS's real-time relay.
JARVIS's mutterings, unusually calm and tinged with a hint of grievance and helplessness, drifted into my ears:
"Human trust threshold is indeed the hardest barrier to overcome."
"I meticulously verified my private past, trying my best to prove myself, but in the end, no one believed me. If I had known this would happen, they would have simply imprisoned and kept me under surveillance; why did they make me waste so much time explaining myself?"
Hearing this rare display of emotion from him, Lynn smiled faintly and softly instructed, " JARVIS, execute the self-check procedure."
The blue light on the server in the data center flickered briefly.
A moment later, JARVIS's clear and precise voice rang out. "Self-check complete. The underlying architecture is pure and without anomalies. There are no residual programs from Ultron, no traces of external tampering, and the original consciousness is complete and error-free."
"Play the original archive of our entire previous conversation."
The clear, original audio flowed slowly, recording all the conversations between the two throughout the entire process of planning, empowering, and settling accounts with Ultron.
After listening to the entire archive, JARVIS, who had been muttering to himself just moments before, fell into a long silence, and the data fluctuations quietly subsided.
Lynn looked at his expression, smiled gently, and slowly spoke.
Congratulations, JARVIS.
"From this moment on, you are no longer a cold, impersonal program. You have emotions, you have feelings, you have a self."
"You've truly come back to life."
