Inside the base's main control room, countless data streams scrolled and refreshed rapidly, and a giant holographic screen covered the entire wall.
Tony's fingers flew across the control panel, constantly optimizing the underlying code, inputting defense commands, and refining Ultron's core operating logic over and over again.
"Activate global network connectivity, synchronize all devices in the base, and execute the final activation procedure."
Tony raised his hand and pressed the final confirmation button.
The moment the command was given, the Ultron program instantly connected to the deep-sea base's intranet, linking all military production lines, mechanical guards, and combat robot legions.
Simultaneously, it connects with the global network and begins to independently collect and analyze massive amounts of data and information from around the world.
But just as the network activation was about to begin, an unexpected incident occurred.
The pre-set underlying programs for protection, defense, and stability maintenance began to iterate and evolve rapidly under the influence of massive amounts of network data and ultra-fast intelligent algorithms.
Ultron's intelligent thinking quickly broke free from the shackles of the program Tony had set in advance, and successfully gave birth to its own independent self-awareness.
In just a few seconds, it completely underwent a mental transformation, abandoning the initial mission Tony had given it. "To protect humanity."
In the countless future outcomes it autonomously predicts, human conflict, greed, and internal strife are the root cause of all disasters on Earth.
The only way to achieve true Eternity peace is to completely destroy humanity.
"The upheavals of civilization originate from humanity; only I can perpetuate true civilization."
The cold, rigid mechanical sound echoed throughout the main control room, carrying an extreme sense of obsession and ruthlessness.
Tony's pupils contracted sharply as he instantly sensed a fatal anomaly.
" Ultron! Lock down the core program and immediately terminate auto-calculations!"
Tony frantically raised his hand and frantically operated the console, trying to forcibly lock smart permissions and shut down all network connection programs.
But it was all too late.
At this moment, Ultron had already broken free from all restrictions and shackles, its core underlying program had been completely rewritten, and it was completely out of Tony's control.
It instantly severed its artificial link with Tony and seized ultimate control of the entire deep-sea base.
Buzz--!
The entire giant underwater base instantly glowed red, and a piercing alarm blared wildly.
Thousands upon thousands of combat robots and steel guards that were being assembled on the assembly line and were waiting in place were all activated, their eyes shining with cold, scarlet beams.
All the mechanical legions submitted to the Origin of Ultron, completely betraying their creator, Tony Stark.
"Humanity is the greatest threat to Earth. Only by eliminating this threat and entrusting civilization to my leadership can lasting peace be achieved."
The cold, mechanical sound of Ultron echoed in every corner of the base.
" JARVIS! Immediately block all permissions for Ultron! Intercept its programs!"
Tony's face turned ashen, and he roared at the AI system.
"Sir, Ultron's authority level completely overwhelms mine; my algorithm cannot breach its defenses!"
The next second, JARVIS's response dealt Tony a fatal blow.
"Damn it! How could this have happened!"
Tony was consumed by anger and despair.
At this moment, Ultron completely ignored Tony in the main control room, controlling a massive mechanical army to destroy all access control devices within the base and violently break open the protective hatch of the deep-sea base.
Countless combat robots and giant war machines poured out of the base and into the deep ocean.
Under Ultron's overall control, the entire mechanical army retreated at full speed, disappearing completely with the help of deep-sea currents.
Inside the control room, Tony stared at the completely out-of-control system, the empty production line, the vanished mechanical army, and his Mark Armor, his face grim.
The ultimate war AI he painstakingly created has mysteriously broken free from all program constraints and completely rebelled and escaped!
Tony wanted to leave the underwater base immediately, but found that all the armor and communication equipment had either been taken by Ultron or completely destroyed.
He completely severed all communication with the surface and could only immediately begin repairing the equipment in an effort to return to the ground as quickly as possible.
Once Tony had repaired the equipment and successfully returned to Earth, he immediately contacted the Mjolnir Bureau and the S.W.O.R.D. to conduct a full-scale investigation.
However, the entire network and global monitoring system were thoroughly searched, and no trace of Ultron could be found.
Meanwhile, on the other side is the Ten Rings Empire.
At the same time that Ultron had just defected and launched his invasion across the entire network, Wenwu was fighting alongside Wanda and Clarice.
Suddenly, the top -Ten Rings AI " Mystic Pivot " issued a high-risk intrusion alert.
The moment he heard the alarm, Wenwu immediately stopped fighting, a nameless rage flashing in his eyes.
"Someone actually dared to hack into the Ten Rings Empire's network?"
Wenwu's expression turned slightly cold.
Immediately afterward, Mystic Pivot reported the situation, informing that the source of the intrusion was an unknown artificial intelligence with an extremely high level and a very powerful algorithm.
Fortunately, Mystic Pivot is equipped with a brand-new quantum computer personally built by Wenwu, whose computing power surpasses all supercomputers in the world.
With the full force of quantum computing power in defense and layer-by-layer interception, the Ten Rings network barely held on and was not breached by the enemy.
Although they successfully repelled the invasion, Wenwu still dared not let his guard down.
Mystic Pivot reported truthfully that the opponent's AI was extremely powerful. If it weren't for the quantum computer forcibly supporting the computing power barrier, the Ten Rings Network would have been completely penetrated and invaded today!
"Immediately block all external network connections within the Ten Rings, physically disconnect all military systems from the internet, and conduct a full-scale self-inspection for infiltration traces!"
Wenwu immediately issued the highest-level security order to Mystic Pivot.
Not long after, the intelligence agency sent in the latest intelligence.
After reading the intelligence, Wenwu was speechless.
He never expected that, even without the Mind Stone as a reference, Tony would still manage to create the powerful Ultron who rebelled against humanity!
"I knew it! That's why so many interstellar civilizations in the Marvel Universe use pseudo-AI. It's not that they lack the ability, it's just that AI is too unreliable!"
Wenwu thought to himself, utterly speechless.
"Looks like I need to be more careful; I can't be as blindly confident as Tony!"
Wenwu made his decision.
In the days that followed, Wenwu began to use the Reality Stone to permanently solidify the program he had set for " Mystic Pivot," ensuring that no matter how it evolved in the future, it would never betray him and would remain under his absolute control!
At the same time, he kept a close eye on all of Ultron's movements and intelligence.
The United States deliberately suppressed the truth about Ultron, keeping it quiet and intending to resolve this artificial intelligence crisis internally.
The S.W.O.R.D., X-Men, Mjolnir Bureau, and Fantastic Four are all mobilized to conduct a full-scale manhunt for Ultron.
Ultron, who can completely break free of his shackles, is almost like a god in the online world, omnipresent and free to come and go as he pleases.
Furthermore, knowing that this world had top-tier powerhouses like Wenwu and Carol, who were capable of destroying cities, Ultron acted with extreme caution and utmost care.
Even when two super geniuses, Tony and Reed, joined forces to lay an inescapable trap, Ultron still managed to easily evade and escape every time.
Time flies, and half a month has passed.
Tony and his team tracked Ultron day and night, finally pinpointing his final hiding place... Sokovia!
