Chapter 52: If Together

Ultron sent his Sentinel Robots to attack two of Dawning's planes, and destroyed a significant number of Potions of X.

For Ultron, in order to ensure his continuation in this world, it needs to ensure the purity of mutants. It doesn't allow Tony to wipe out all the mutants (transform them into new mutants). Because once all the mutants are gone, then for Ultron its end has come.

It's a very interesting self-protection mechanism. When setting up the Sentinel Robots, the first principle was to destroy the mutants. And Ultron was also mutated because of the Scarlet Witch after modifying the probability. It is inseparable from this first principle law. So even if Ultron has artificial intelligence, it still can't modify this first principle, because the first principle is the meaning of its existence in this world.

Without destroying the mutants, then there would be no need for Ultron. And if the mutants are all gone, then there is no need for Ultron to exist. A complex paradox, Ultron seems to have been born to kill himself.

"I need to make the mutant community stronger, or I need to make people less obsessed with X Potions. "A secret nest somewhere under the sea in the Atlantic**, Ultron is debating himself with a computer program.

"I found the airtight pod that Red Skull, the former leader of Hydra, threw out before he died. But I couldn't open it, and Red Skull actually set up a program that even I couldn't crack. Maybe this is Hydra's last weapon, and if I turn it on, maybe I won't have to worry about mutants. One of Ultron's thinking programs makes this point.

"No, it's not a good idea. Remember the last look on the Red Skull's face? it was his last struggle, and maybe it was a weapon powerful enough to destroy the world. Red Skull did this kind of thing, and he believed in "who cares about the flood after I die". Open it, and maybe I'll burn it. Another of Ultron's thinking programs proposes a counter-argument.

"Then I'm just going to sit back and watch the spread of Potion X little by little? Destroying the plane is a symptom rather than a cure, and Potion X will eventually spread. And at the speed at which it can be encountered, the whole world will be addicted to this potion! I can't sit still, and Iron Man is awake now. The next time you attack the planes, you may have to face the siege of the Iron Army!"

"There's no way I'm going to attack Tuvalu directly, there are very few purebred mutants right now. If I were to be slaughtered, I would soon die too!"

The various mental programs separated from Ultron's electric (large) brain are thinking and arguing, but none of them can convince anyone. They are like different personalities representing Ultron. Yes, Ultron is now becoming more and more like a human being, at least at the level of thinking about problems, it has really evolved from a machine to a human.

But mechanical life has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that it is inflexible, and the advantage is that it is fearless. And Ultron became more and more human, although he learned to be flexible, but he also became more and more desperate.

Now it's no longer about killing yourself for fear of someone behind the scenes carrying out a purge of the world's programs. Rather, they are afraid that there will be no more traditional mutants in the future, and they will self-destruct. What could be scarier than watching yourself commit suicide slowly?

Ultron was really scared, so it needed to come up with a way to fix it.

"Destruction alone won't solve this problem. I need to distract people from Potion X. If there is a competitor to Potion X, it will not be as attractive. In this way, the number of mutants can reach an ecological balance. Then I'm going to hunt the mutants moderately to complete the commands, and then I can survive forever!"

Ultron felt that he had come up with a suitable solution. It needs to keep mutants in captivity in the same way that humans keep domestic animals, and it also needs to ensure that the mutant race thrives, and then it can hunt them in a way that controls the ecological balance.

It will all become a proper circle in which everything will be balanced. But now the only question is where can I find something that can compete with X Elixir?

————————

Dr. Ethan took a deep breath, since Tony was unwilling to accept his plan, then he had to change his partner. The pace of human progress is not just X medicine or something. The Desperate Virus is the more suitable thing for the future of humanity.

"By publishing a small amount of data and experimental data, I can find suitable investors on the web. I don't believe anyone will be interested in this. Dr. Ethan has made up his mind.

——————————

The Hellfire Club's headquarters in New York still looks palatial from the outside. But internally, it's already a mess. Tony brought his friends to make a mess, and they lost nothing, but the Hellfire Club lost a lot.

I don't know how much money was lost in the loss of various famous wines, and there were also antique crystal lamps and various gold candlesticks and silver tableware that have been handed down from the 19th century.

And in the end, the group of them patted their butts lightly and left, and I don't know if Tony will compensate for these losses. Sebastian, the Black King, is really angry.

"Why didn't you control that group just now?!" the Black King angrily turned to the White Queen again.

And Emma, the White Queen, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Charles pestered me, you know." There are very few people on Earth who can resist Charles's mind control. Unless I also have a Magneto's helmet. ”

Well, so Sebastian doesn't have a trick out of the way. Sebastian sulked: "Check it out for me, check it thoroughly!

The Hellfire Club's resources began to mobilize. And the news that Dr. Maya went to the Stark Group to seek funding and was finally rejected was also sent to Sebastian's desk along with various massive messages.

——————————

"It wasn't the Hellfire Club's doing. Now that the only clue is broken, do you have any ideas, Nightcrawler?" In the Stark Group building, it was Dr. Banner who was still talking while Tony was still angry.

"There's no logic, there's no clue, there's no way to find anyone doing all this. Li Jie shook his head, and when everyone thought that he had no choice, he suddenly said: "Maybe we can only rely on a little luck and destiny." ”

Everyone: "?"

"Don't forget, we now have a Daemon the Spirit and a Chance Tamper, Wanda. Li Jie had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
