"That can't be!"

Inside the Avengers Tower, Tony Stark's voice could be heard almost the entire floor—even though the only three people in the building were already there. Michael, who wears the armor of the Black Knight, is here, and Tony Stark, who has temporarily removed his armor, but his armor is still active and standing on the sidelines. And then there's Steve Rogers, Captain America.

Captain Rogers is probably the Avenger who spends the most time in the Avengers Building, as he doesn't have much else to go. Hawkeye and Black Widow have a bunch of "espionage business" to keep busy, Spider-Man has to go to school, Thor has returned to Asgard, and Colonel James Rhodes is still in a key position in the Air Force. So usually there is only the captain left in this building.

"It's a fact." "I believe I have evidence that Altron has been born, a super AI that is ahead of its time and has the ability to evolve on its own," Michael said. He paused, accentuating, "Your work, Mr. Stark?" ”

Ultron, a super artificial intelligence, is also a famous villain in Marvel Comics. According to the original comics, it was created by the original Ant-Man Dr. Hank Pym, but in the MCU series of movies "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron", Ant-Man's cauldron of the century was gloriously carried by Tony Stark.

In the movie story, it was Iron Man who designed Ultron, an artificial intelligence, in order to protect the world. But the trigger was supposed to be because Iron Man rushed into a wormhole over New York with a nuclear bomb at the end of the "Avengers 1" movie, and saw the mothership of the Zetarians and the endless army in outer space, which left a deep psychological wound on him and forced him to start thinking about how the Earth should respond to a similar invasion the next time.

It is in this context that Ultron was born. According to Tony, Ultron is his tailor-made armor for the earth, and it should take on the important responsibility of resisting aggression and protecting the earth. It's just that at the end of both the comic and the movie, Ultron seems to be destined to be blackened in the end, and its program will never inevitably come to the conclusion that the variable "human" must be eliminated in the process of independent thinking with "world peace" as the ultimate goal, and will always end up fighting against the Avengers.

However, due to Michael's intervention, Tony apparently did not have the terrible experience of storming the wormhole over New York. But perhaps by fate, he eventually came up with the idea of Ultron.

Although they won the battle with the Cree last time, they honestly won inexplicably in the end. Ordinary people think that it is the Avengers who are active in defending the peace of the earth, but Tony, as the person concerned, knows that this is not the case.

If you have to find a key factor in winning that war, it may only be said that it depends on luck.

That's why he had the idea of Ultron, a superintelligence that could help achieve his ideal of peace.

"Tony?" Rogers gave him an inquiring look, "Is that true?" ”

"What? No, Captain. I didn't ...... at all Well, 'Ultron' was my idea. Tony frowned, "But that's just an idea, an idea." I wanted to design Ultron to keep the peace, but that was impossible. That project is too big to be able to achieve with the current level of human technology. I'm not saying I can't do it, I'm saying that at least there's no one on the planet who can design something that fits the vision of Ultron. ”

"So you're saying," Michael asked, "that you just came up with the idea and never put it into practice?" ”

Tony hesitated for a moment, not answering the question right away.

"So you really tried?" Rogers frowned.

"Okay, okay, yes, I tried." Tony said irritably, "It was after that encounter with the Cree." That war forced me to think about the need for Ultron. Can you blame me for thinking so? You also see how vulnerable Earth is to aliens......"

"But we won." Rogers argued.

"Yes, good luck. But what about next time? What about next time? Have we always been so lucky? Tony asked aloud.

At least this part of his idea Michael agrees with. Michael is also not accustomed to entrusting the fate of superheroes to the fate of the world every time it faces annihilation, which is also the motivation for his actions. Because of this, he established the Heavenly Sword Bureau, gathering strength to prepare for any threat that might come.

At the end of the day, they all have the same starting point, but they choose to do so in different ways.

"That's why I designed Ultron, or I tried to design it." Tony continued, "But I've never made anything like this. One is because I quickly discovered that it was almost impossible to make this intelligence powerful enough to protect the world, to do all the functions I wanted it to have, and even for me, such a program would not be possible anytime soon. Another reason is because I find it too dangerous.

Applying my previous experience with Jarvis, I spent a few weeks setting up Ultron's framework and giving it the most basic task that it was created to be 'achieving world peace'. Then I observed the process of its programmatic self-thinking and self-evolution, and found that it quickly came to the creepy conclusion that the 'human' variable is superfluous and unnecessary. ”

Rogers frowned, "You're saying it wants to exterminate humanity?" ”

"If I get it done, maybe." "But I didn't. I've only designed a basic AI framework for it, with no other features, and it's based on Jarvis's program. Then after I sensed the terrible conclusions that Ultron might have reached, I erased it. I deleted all of Ultron's basic programs and all backups, and physically destroyed the server hardware used to store this framework. So logically speaking, there is no such thing as Ultron in the world. ”

As if it was designed to hit him in the face, the wall exploded the moment his words fell. The Iron Man armor of MK45 stood behind the flying dust, and his eyes and reactor revealed a pale white light behind the dust, like a cold and sharp line of sight.

It slowly raised its arm, and aimed its repulsive cannon at the three people in the room.

Tony was shocked and subconsciously shouted, "Jarvis? ”

"Jarvis isn't here, Mr. Stark." A hoarse and distinctive mechanical voice came out of the armor, and the tone was even quite polite, "Now all that's left here is ...... Ultron. ”
