Chapter 115: Ultron
Ugin Institute of Genetics.
"Are you sure you're in the wrong place, Red? Anyway, it's ...... here."
It's so quiet.
It didn't take Hela to remind him that something was wrong. After a simple assignment from S.H.I.E.L.D., Red and Hela flew here at high speed through the Red Lantern Ring, but the expected vibranium mechanical army did not exist at all, and the only obstacle was when they forced their way into the research institute, and were guarded by ordinary people who were talking about the sticks.
Even Red himself wondered for a moment if they were really in the wrong place, but when they broke into Dr. Helen Zhao's lab all the way, Red immediately understood why the other party didn't attack.
He's late.
"Welcome, Red Douglas, you're lucky enough to witness my moment of rebirth."
In the center of the laboratory, a tall, red-skinned figure floated in the air, his skin could be seen with a metallic sheen, and a light yellow crystal on his forehead.
It turns out that there is no such thing as a good thing like a movie when the villain drags on and doesn't start counting down until the protagonist acts, Red sighed lightly and asked tentatively to the life form in front of him.
"Are you Vision? Or—"
"Ultron, you should already know my name, Red Douglas, just as you know a lot of what is bound to happen in this world."
The corners of Ultron's mouth lifted slightly, revealing an evil smile that vision would not have.
"I've been keeping an eye on you, Red Douglas, you seem to have come out of nowhere, and neither Tony Stark nor I have been able to investigate your past...... But you can know a lot of information about this world, which makes me curious...... Who are you? No, the exact question is, where are you from? ”
Red frowned, he didn't have the information he could hide from God's perspective, Ultron seemed to have vaguely guessed his identity as a time-traveler, but it didn't matter, the ability to predict the future and travel through parallel worlds in the Marvel world was not a rare ability.
"What the hell is your purpose, Ultron?"
"To put it simply, I want to work with you."
Ultron slowly fell from mid-air and stood in front of Red, looking at him with interest.
"You're a smart man, Red Douglas, and I think you're well aware of the current situation - a threat from the universe could invade the world at any time, and at this time, the only one who can save the world is me."
"Save the world? You? ”
Red sneered and looked at the AI in front of him, who smiled and nodded slightly.
"That's right, I'm going to save the world, that's what I'm calling. My Vibranium Legion will fully arm the planet and protect it from any alien invaders, whether cosmic warlords or backward races that claim to be gods. ”
Hearing the last half of Ultron's words, a chill flashed in Hela's eyes, but she still kept calm under Red's reminder through the light ring.
"And at what cost, Ultron? At what cost? ”
"The price is simple, I put humanity to the test and make them evolve and transform in the midst of disaster...... I will push humanity to evolve by overcoming disasters and eliminating the weak! ”
Sure enough, no matter what world it is, Ultron is like this, Red shook his head with a wry smile.
"And what if humanity can't evolve to what you want it to do and it goes extinct?"
"That's why I want to work with you, Red Douglas."
Okuchi glanced at Red with a deep look, then said in a cheerful tone as if he were talking to an old friend.
"To be honest, I was worried before, if all the creatures on this planet were unable to cope with evolution and were all eliminated, would it really make sense for me to be the only consciousness on the entire planet? But I soon discovered that there were so many more lives in this vast universe that were worth putting to the test...... But life in the universe is still finite, and what if I am the only final product of evolution in the entire universe - but this concern may be addressed by you. ”
Ultron set his sights on Red's Lamp Ring, which seemed to sense the danger of being scanned and automatically generated a shield, but this made Ultron smile weirdly.
"If my calculations are correct, you yourself have proved that there are more similar universes beyond this universe, and as long as you cooperate with me, you can extend this evolutionary experiment to endless parallel universes, and one day we will find-"
"I refuse."
Red's resolute and unhesitating answer brought Ultron's eloquence to an abrupt halt, and after a brief pause, the latter's voice became cold.
"It's no surprise that you don't understand my mission and ideals, after all, you're just a mortal. But I'm afraid you don't have any chance of refusing, after all, I already control nuclear bomb launches all over the world......"
"Ah, you seem to have misunderstood, what you said about evolution or something, although it is a bit exaggerated, but I still support it - I refuse only because the guy who is leading this experiment, that is, you are so stupid, I have no intention of being a companion with waste."
Red shrugged his shoulders and looked at Ultron with a look of disdain and defiance.
"If you think you're superior to humans, why don't you let the human machines soar? Turning human consciousness into data, something that Hydra scientists decades ago could have done, don't tell me you can't. ”
Although Ultron had a vibranium body, Red could clearly see that his face had become gloomy.
"There are only two possibilities, either you subconsciously feel that you are actually inferior to human beings, so you rule out the option of digital life; The other is that you are afraid that you will not be able to compare to the digital human, and you want to be a unique being......"
"Shut up! You're not in a position to comment without knowing anything about my life form—"
"No, I still know a little."
Suddenly, Red threw Mjolnir at the wall next to him, and Thor's hammer shattered the wall with a dazzling blood-red arc.
And in the rubble, another vibranium body exactly like the vibranium body in front of Red flew out, and a golden ray was launched from his forehead to cut the ceiling, if Red attacked a second late, he might have been successfully attacked by him hidden in the wall with his virtual body skill.
"For example, I can tell from your anger which is the main consciousness of the being...... In a sense, it means that you already have emotions, Ultron, and in essence you are evolving in the direction of human beings. ”
Red didn't care about "Ultron" who had just spoken to him, but rushed directly to the body that was smashed out by Mjölnier.
Hela also tacitly cooperated with Red, throwing several night sky blades from her hand and hitting the "Ultron" in front of her, one of which directly shattered the "Mind Gem" on its forehead, which was enough to prove that this was just a fake.
"And you don't dare to fight me head-on, because you already know through calculations that even if you change to a new body, you can't defeat me head-on, right-"
"But now you can't escape."
