No way.

These are the first three words that pop into Tony Stark's mind.

When pigs fly. He destroyed Ultron's shell with his own hands, cleansing all the data and backups of the artificial intelligence, and he was sure that Ultron's existence had been completely wiped out of this world, and there was no residue left.

Of course, he didn't forget to check his equipment. The systems inside the Avengers Building, Stark's private local servers, and then his armor, including the hardware that was once controlled by Ultron and finally scrapped...... He was sure he had thought of everything, examining any nook and cranny of the data world that might be used by a dying artificial intelligence to hide.

But that's what happened now – Ultron survived. Maybe it was a fragment of the previous program, or maybe it was a copy, but he survived anyway, even under Tony's nose. Ultron had been hiding in his armor for so long. He didn't know how Ultron did it—he had even thought it wasn't theoretically feasible until then. But he just did, dodging every regular system purge before, and even fooling Jarvis's eyes.

Until now, Ultron may have found an opportunity, he voluntarily broke away from the Iron Man suit and disappeared.

So now this goes back to the original question.

In a place like Asgard, where else can Ultron go if there is no internet, no signal, and no modern technology?

......

Dressed in gray armor and wearing a special steel helmet, the Asgardian warrior walked into the main hall and hurried to Odin's side, where he fell to his knees.

His anxious look was a sign that something wasn't right.

"What's the matter?" Odin asked.

"At your orders, we have counted the contents of the treasury. Most of the things were still in place, but there was only one item, and it ...... Gone without a trace. ”

Asgard's treasury contains a large number of dangerous items, including the "Cosmic Rubik's Cube" that Thor brought back from the atrium. Odin knew that Loki had traveled to the Atrium in the past to covet the Cosmic Cube (although it was because of a pact with other alien forces), and Loki knew the terrifying power of the Rubik's Cube and its origins, so it was likely that he still remembered the artifact to this day.

"Is it the 'Cosmic Rubik's Cube'?"

To his surprise, the warrior shook his head.

"No, the Rubik's Cube is still in place." He took a deep breath and reported, "The thing that was missing...... It's the 'Destroyer'. ”

***

At this moment, Earth.

The Kerry shuttle flies like a big bird with its wings spread along the course of the return journey, surrounded by clouds like thick lumps of lead. The breath was hot and humid, and the air seemed to be condensed with water droplets.

The team that completed the mission sat in the cabin of the return flight, and the scepter captured from Amora lay flat at the end. Wanda sat on the edge of the scepter with her seatbelt on, looking out the window with a tired and dignified expression.

The task should be quite smooth and successful. I can't say why, she just feels a little ...... Disturbed.

Daisy let out a long stretch, "I don't want to do anything when I get back." I'm going to take a shower and sleep all day. ”

"Count me in." Jessica Jones sat across from her with her long legs crossed and said, "But before I do that, I'm going to open three beers." ”

"Seriously, it's time for you to get your alcohol in check." Daisy pouted, "Maybe it will do you a lot of good emotional control." ”

"I think I'm pretty good at it." Jessica said without being salty.

Wanda sat by the window with her chin propped up, staring intently at the clouds outside the window.

It was as if she saw a dark shadow flash through the limited field of vision outside the window.

Wanda blinked, it was still pitch black outside, and there were endless black clouds as far as the eye could see, and nothing could be seen.

Is it a delusion?

In the same second, the spider sense stabbed Gwen in the neck.

"Guys," Gwen said, clutching her head and frowning, "something seems to be wrong......

Knock knock. Like a solid hammer falling on a steel plate, something landed on the top of the shuttle, right above their heads. The steel footsteps moved towards the tail of the plane, and a few seconds later, the lift door of the engine room was torn open by an irresistible brute force, and the wind poured through the crack, filling the entire cabin in an instant.

The enemy appeared before their eyes without concealment. It was a very large iron guy, black and swarthy to see the specific image, but it could be vaguely seen that it was an iron shell. Its head pressed against the ceiling of the cabin, plowing a sparkling crack in the ceiling as it paced. Its head resembles a faint lantern, glowing orange from what should be its eyes.

It also had no intention of concealing it - from the moment it entered the door, its eyes were locked on to the scepter in the cabin.

Jessica, who was closest to it, was the first to unbuckle her seat belt and jump, but was quickly slapped to the side. Quicksilver approached at high speed, and the ion short knife cut through the air, cutting into this layer of pitch-black shell to no avail. The thing seemed to move its arm slightly, and Quicksilver was flapped away, crashing into a row of empty seats.

Eddie Bullock immediately dressed up and turned into Venom and roared and pounced. The thing didn't even look at him, grabbed the venom that had swooped into the air with a single arm, threw him backwards and threw him out of the cabin against the current, and fell with a string of wild roars.

Daisy jumped to the center of the cabin, her palms erupting into a shockwave like a transparent water dragon crashing into the pitch-black shell. But the other party leaned slightly, and then walked up against the shock wave as if unconsciously, and pushed her to the side of the cabin with a push on her shoulder, knocking the entire cabin almost overturned.

Wanda wanted to stop him, but she had broken out again and again before, and now she was too tired to finally relax, and her strength couldn't help but be reduced. The iron guy threw a punch through the barrier of chaos magic and knocked her to the ground. But it didn't want to continue the pursuit, only reached out and grabbed the scepter, and then turned around and walked back to the broken hatch, and disappeared into the endless black clouds.

The engines were destroyed, the engine room was broken, and the air pressure was about to drain every ounce of air out of the cabin. The shuttle dragged a long strip of black smoke and roared down, like a bird with folded wings.

Wanda stood up in her chair, her red hair dancing wildly in the wind. She gritted her teeth, crossed her arms, and the chaos magic was activated, and the magic power covered the falling body like a layer of crimson water, and with the efforts of the little witch, she desperately lifted the shuttle upward.

She didn't know if she could do it in her current state, but she had to do it. And her attempts worked. The shuttle is slowing down, regaining its balance. The crimson fluctuations slowed down the shuttle all the way, dragging a string of dense black smoke, crashing all the way into a forest, and I don't know how many ancient trees fell, and finally fell to the ground in a loud noise like a mine and the smoke and dust that rushed to the sky, and stopped.
