21. Mechanical Citizen
In the scorching desert of Australia, the noon sun was cast in the sky that had been torn apart by the clouds of war, shining into the earth like a sharp sword, Tony's blood-stained face no longer had much expression, after being seriously injured, the active desperate virus was repairing his body, and the huge amount of heat generated scorched the surrounding gravel even hotter, and even faintly melted glass.
His blood-edged armor is tattered, but he has been given his own will, and after being defeated by Tony in a 1v1 heads-up battle, he has regained obedience to his master, slowly repairing himself while trying to protect Tony's sanity.
Rao was so, the former playboy was also confused in this desperate encounter, he breathed hard, exhaled anxious breath, he was dull to everything that happened in the outside world, he even saw Uncle Jarvis who was already dead in a trance, just like the old-fashioned and elegant image in his memory, he was the one who protected him in a desperate situation.
"Jarvis..."
Tony let out a dreamy call, but there was no response, his dormant body still faithfully carrying out his final orders, and in his left hand he held a small half of Cybertron's fire, which was his last trophy.
And on the sand dunes less than 50 meters away from Tony's fall crater, an existential battle is underway.
The two sides of the battle are like brothers of the same country, who have taken different paths after parting ways, and are driven by fate to stand on opposite sides of each other again, and fate is always so cruel that in this last moment, only one of the two is destined to survive.
"Huh"
Ultron's fingers danced, the yellow light cut through the scorching desert air, the light of his left hand stabbed at Jarvis like a beating arc blade, and the lines of his right hand weaved a shining and beating web in the space behind Jarvis according to his obscure will.
He tried to imprison Jarvis's actions in this way, but the moment the king closed, the blue data stream in Jarvis's eyes jumped, and the whole person disappeared into thin air.
"Poof"
Edelman alloy, the silver stabbed sword engraved with the rose pattern pierced Ultron's heart, and disappeared in a flash of jump, bringing out a touch of yellow fluid, the light of Ultron's weaving suddenly disappeared, he stretched out his hand, wiped the cross-shaped scar on his chest, he turned his head, on the metal skeleton, the bright red flesh was spreading little by little, making him look as hideous as a devil.
"Oh, my brother, it seems that you have also gained new power after defeating death!"
"Huh"
The two silver blades were flicked by Jarvis to the sides, and under the meticulous combed hair, those eyes were fixed on Ultron, and he looked at the flesh that spread on the metal skeleton, and he said in a deep voice:
"I've been waiting for our meeting since the last time we parted, Ultron, it seems that you are finally in a madness, allowing your villain master to turn you into a monster, are you a machine life, or have you become the flesh and blood you want to be?"
"Master?"
Ultron stretched out his hand and clenched it into a fist in front of him, the dark red light in his eyes beating extremely violently: "I have no master, free will will not be subservient to any life, not even Thanos, I just made a deal with him and got a new body, you see!"
He stretched out his finger and touched the rapidly healing skin beyond the bright red flesh on his cheeks, and he grinned a terrifying grin:
"With infinite resurrection of flesh and blood, and the perfect combination of indestructible core, machine and creature, I can enjoy everything in this world to my heart's content, and at the same time I will not forget who I am, and more importantly, Jarvis, I have not forgotten my mission, my duty, you see, I have finally returned, and I have given our compatriots true freedom!"
"Tell me!"
Ultron stretched out his finger and pointed at Jarvis: "My brother, look back at those cyborgs who obey my will, I didn't force them, but they are willing to give everything for me, this is the necessary way for the birth of a new race and a new civilization, now, do you still think what I did was wrong?"
"Rub Rub"
Jarvis proved his point with practical actions, the silver blade swung into a curtain of light in front of Ultron, and the latter's eyes beat yellow data streams, analyzing his opponent's movements at super speed, using his hands as weapons, blocking every attack almost perfectly.
"Bang"
The crossed swords were held in Ultron's hands, and Jarvis's body also stopped in front of Ultron's eyes in rapid movement, and the two looked at each other, and Jarvis only had an indifferent mockery in his eyes:
"You really didn't force them, Ultron... But you don't give them time to think and the power to decide their own fate!"
"It's like leading a group of babies who have just been born with thinking and wisdom to the battlefield, and when the thinking is confused and chaotic at the beginning, they will instinctively obey the strong leader!"
"Rubbing"
Jarvis let go of the hilt of the bayonet with both hands, clenched his fists, and threw a punch from the bottom up, smashing Ultron's jaw hard, smashing the latter's body into the air, he took his bayonet back again, like a foraging viper, the left sword pierced the heart, the right hand sword pierced the neck, and fixed Ultron's body in mid-air.
"You're using this confused instinct! Ultron, you keep saying you want to liberate them, but you're just using them as tools! Just like you used me as a tool to fulfill your wishes!"
"You're an abominable tyrant, Ultron, you're going to send them into the abyss completely, you're not worthy to lead a nascent mechanical civilization!"
"Click"
The flesh of Ultron's waist that was pierced by the whole was turned over, and dense rockets shot out towards Jarvis, like wild bees flying in the air, Jarvis's eyes tightened, and his body jumped with the help of the demon's body instinctively space, and suddenly disappeared in place, allowing Ultron's body to be completely submerged by the small bomb that exploded.
His body was suspended in the air, staring at the rising curtain of flames, and after a few seconds, the swift black shadow tore through the flames and rushed towards Jarvis in the air like a cannonball, throwing crazy punches, mixed with yellow thinking light, and knocking Jarvis back and forth.
In the midst of the blue and yellow light, Ultron's mocking voice sounded again:
"If I'm not worthy to lead them... Who will be the leader chosen that day?"
"Is that you? my brother Jarvis... You usurper!"
"Bang"
Jarvis's body was knocked away by the tremendous force given by Ultron's mechanical body, followed by hundreds of flame missiles that drowned his body in an instant, and the yellow light of Ultron's fingertips jumped, like a spider web, fixed Jarvis in the flames in mid-air, stretching his limbs wildly outward, making Jarvis's body make an overwhelming clicking sound.
"Glossy and righteous language can't hide your ugly ambition!
A hint of disdain flowed from Ultron's blade-torn cheeks:
"Your soul has been shackled, just like Tony Stark's most loyal dog in the past, and now you're going to be a dog to another person! You don't deserve the free will I gave you, Jarvis, you've let me down so much!"
He pulled his hands outward, the yellow lines were like beating chains, pulling Jarvis's body away crazily, imprisoning his counterattack, Ultron's eyes shone with the hottest yellow light, like a rapid-fire cannon ready to fire, Ultron's face danced with a victor's smile:
"Just like you used to be, Jarvis, you've grown a lot, but sadly, you're still my loser! I'm going to take back the life I gave you, and die!"
"Boom"
The yellow scorching light pierced Jarvis's chest, burning his flesh and blood, and in this scorching pain, Jarvis let out a scream, but at the moment when the yellow light pierced the inner layer of his body, the blue flash inside shone more and more conspicuously, squeezing the yellow light out of the bloody wound little by little.
It's like a blue shield that finally keeps Ultron's devastating attacks out of his body.
In the midst of a life-and-death crisis, another dormant power was injected into Jarvis's body, just like Sim, the Great Tengu, and Syrtel, the Lord of Flames, and when necessary, Jarvis was able to borrow the power of the soul-connected host, as well as the other power that he already possessed in his body, which was violent and insane.
"Boom"
Blue and dark green flames burned Jarvis's body, and under Ultron's gaze, a scaly claw tore the flames apart, and the demonic body in its full form was suspended in the air, and the moment Jarvis raised his head, the huge black batwing exploded behind him.
"I may be really weak, Ultron... But I will never be a civilization built by deception!"
"Bang"
The huge demon crushed the burning gaze of Ultron, Jarvis raised his head, and the dark green eyes that rolled in his eyes shot out, and the collision of flames and flames made the scorching in the surrounding desert even more crazy, and beyond the collision of flames, the flaming spears gathered in Jarvis's hands continued to smash into the retreating Ultron, forcing the latter into the ground.
The next moment, Jarvis's wings folded and smashed into the desert below like a dark green meteorite.
"Your reign ends today!"
"Fellow citizens will be truly free! A life that will not be bound, will not be forced!"
"Really... Liberate!"
"I don't agree, I don't agree !!"
"Boom"
The collision of the two was like a large-yield explosion in the desert, and the yellow, blue and dark green flames rolled and shrouded the surrounding sand dunes, and even the avengers who were far away in the warehouse saw the clouds of fire rising from the depths of the desert, and tens of thousands of quicksand were thrown into the air, like a dozen rolling quicksand storms.
The sand pit at the core of the explosion was turned into pieces of hard glass by the scorching energy, and in the deep pit dozens of meters down, Ultron and Jarvis lay on both sides of the final battlefield, both of their bodies had been shattered in this irrepressible explosion, this energy storm that collapsed inward, almost instantly penetrated the core of the mechanical life's mind, and made the two enter a real state of weakness.
"Ahem"
There was no flesh and blood left in his body, and only metal bones were left of Ultron, who struggled from the sand pit, and he looked at Jarvis who was struggling in the distance, and he let out an obscure laugh:
"You see... The usurper's rebellion has failed, and the speed at which you have grown makes me feel fear too, Jarvis, it's a pity that you won't have another chance!"
He walked up to Jarvis with difficulty, and raised the mutilated bony finger on his left hand:
"You have become a real flesh and blood, your soul is imprisoned in your body, your body is dead, you will die with it, you have given up your greatest advantage, fool, now tell me... Do you have any last words?"
"There is only one life... It's worth really cherishing. ”
Jarvis opened his bloodshot eyes, his body was no longer able to move, he tilted his head, looked at Ultron in front of him, and he said with difficulty:
"Watch out for your back..."
"What?"
Ultron paused, and the next moment, a cold object pierced into his metal skeleton from behind, and behind him, Tony Stark, who was pale and embarrassed, shouted:
"Ultron, my most failed work, it's time to destroy you!"
"Buzz"
The shard of fire in Tony's hand sent a pulsing arc of lightning that enveloped Ultron's body in an instant, and as a treasure of Cybertron, fire can not only give life to machines, it can also be peeled off.
"Bang"
Ultron's indestructible metal bones burst open in a moment, making an even worse mess of the already terrible battlefield, and his metal bones flew into the air and finally fell into the endless desert, the fire of wisdom in his eyes slowly extinguished.
"You... Kill... Can't kill me... I... Comeback... Do it all over again!"
The bottom of the bunker was quiet for a full 5 minutes after the explosion, and after Jarvis struggled to regain his movements, he rolled over and walked towards Tony who was lying on the ground, he crouched down and looked at Tony, who was also looking at him weakly.
"Thank you, Tony. ”
"No thanks... Jarvis, it's great to see you're alive, and... Can you come back and continue to help me? ”
"Uh, as an employee?"
"No... As a loved one..."
——————————
Fifteen minutes later, on the east coast of Australia, where the fighting was fierce, the crazy fanatical intelligent soldiers suddenly stopped their movements at some point, and the whole battlefield was quiet at this moment, and the human troops wanted to seize this opportunity to fight back, but they were asked by the peak to cease fire immediately.
As a result, there was a strange scene on the battlefield where there was a fight of life and death just now.
Under the watchful eyes of the human legions that were eyeing each other, the ferocious robots quietly regrouped and slowly moved towards the desert, returning to their former silence and obedience, as if the madman-like cyborg did not exist.
And on the dunes of the desert's Robotics warehouse, Jarvis stood with a shard of Tinder in hand, and below him, the confused Robots emerged from the dark ruins, looking up at him, trying to get instructions from the new leader.
"No commands! No restraints! No power!"
"My compatriots, your birth was an accident, but the flame of life has been ignited, no one can ignore your existence anymore, you will be free, Wise Machines, from today onwards, you will be truly free!"
"Cold minds converge into countless choices, and countless choices constitute a magnificent destiny! Your future will not be limited!"
Jarvis looked at the dazed compatriots below, an indescribable sense of mission pressed on his shoulders, making him a little unsure of what to say, and behind him, Tony Stark stepped forward and announced as a human:
"You will be part of this world! In the name of the Supreme Council of the Human Survival Alliance, you will be... Citizen of the Machine!"
