The Savior of American Comics? I'm the Subspace Evil God!

Chapters 578, 1072, and 1073: 'Ultron' vs. Captain America
shhhhh--

Five scorching orange laser beams burst forth from Ultron's fingertips without warning, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek, instantly engulfing all of Captain America's dodging space.

clang--

Captain America's reaction speed was astonishing. Almost at the same time that Ultron raised his hand, he precisely and with minimal movement blocked the Vibranium shield on his back in front of him.

Five deadly laser beams, without exception, all struck precisely the vibranium shield adorned with the American flag.

However, these scorching lasers, powerful enough to cut through steel instantly, failed to leave a single burn mark on the shield's surface, only causing a slight tremor after absorbing energy.

Captain America slowly peeked out from behind the indestructible shield, his face showing no fear, only his usual determination and a hint of mockery: "I'm not sure yet whether what's inside can frighten us, but it's definitely not a good thing."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force from his core, his body like a taut bowstring suddenly released, and his right hand holding the shield swung forward with a powerful and skillful movement.

call--

The Vibranium Shield flew out of his hand like a meteor, whistling as it spun at high speed, tracing a perfect arc as it aimed directly at 'Ultron', which was suspended in mid-air.

Ultron seemed to have not expected Captain America to launch such a rapid counterattack after his defense. Faced with the attack, it raised its metal arm to block.

when!
With a crisp, resounding clang of metal clashing, the Vibranium Shield slammed into the mechanical arm that Ultron was using to block its path.

The immense kinetic energy impact jolted its suspended form backward, but the shield wasn't thrown away. Instead, using the clever force of its rotation and some unknown property, it traced a graceful trajectory in mid-air like a boomerang, landing precisely back in Captain America's hand with a 'thud'.

This strike seemed to sound the clarion call for a melee between the two.

Ultron seemed to be completely enraged. The crimson light in its eyes surged, and it let out an angry roar. It suddenly swooped down, its metal feet slamming heavily onto the roof of the truck, causing the entire truck to shake violently.

fist!
elbow!
膝！
laser!
Fearing that its attacks might accidentally damage the "Cradle of Life" inside the carriage, 'Ultron' abandoned its high-powered long-range attack mode and instead perfectly combined the strength and speed of its mechanical body with energy weapons.

'Ultron's' attacks were like a storm, seemingly without any pattern, yet each strike was deadly.

And all of these technologies originated from the personality memories that Tony Stark had previously uploaded.

call……

A powerful straight punch, carrying the force to crush steel, slammed into Captain America's face.

Seeing this, Captain America neither dodged nor avoided it. His left arm muscles tensed, and the Vibranium Shield fiercely met the attack like the most solid barrier.

Boom!
With a dull thud, the shield remained unmoved, but Ultron's fist was deflected by the recoil.

Almost simultaneously, the Arc Pulse Cannon on Ultron's other hand lit up, firing at point-blank range from another direction.

Captain America reacted with lightning speed, subtly adjusting the angle of his shield to redirect the pulse energy to the side, shattering the rearview mirror of an unfortunate truck speeding past.

Seeing this, Ultron raised his leg and delivered another low sweep, his metal thigh sweeping towards Captain America's lower body like a steel whip. The experienced Captain America had anticipated this, and with a nimble step back, he simultaneously lowered his shield...

Clang!
Sparks flew as the insidious sweeping kick was successfully blocked.

Ultron then turned around and slammed his elbow like a warhammer into Captain America's temple. The latter quickly ducked to avoid it, while simultaneously lifting the edge of his shield and slashing it hard into Ultron's ribs, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound.

Although Ultron's close-combat skills were derived from Tony Stark, who was proficient in martial arts, he was still somewhat too inexperienced compared to a fighting master like Captain America.

Captain America moved with ghostly agility, wielding the Vibranium Shield to its fullest potential.

In Captain America's hands, this indestructible shield is not just a defensive tool, but also an extension of every attack he makes, a fulcrum for movement, and even a decoy to confuse the enemy.

The shield sometimes blocks in front of the body, sometimes it is thrown out like a frisbee to harass, and sometimes it is used like a melee weapon to slash, block, and strike...

Captain America's movements were fluid and agile on the roof of the bumpy, speeding train, each move precisely avoiding Ultron's fatal attacks while searching for an opportunity to counterattack.

Although Ultron's attacks repeatedly missed their mark, it maintained a dominant position in the battle thanks to its absolute power, hard body, and endless array of energy weapons.

Its attack diversity is astonishing.

The laser beam at the fingertip is like a precise scalpel, specifically targeting blind spots that shields cannot cover.

The Arc Pulse Cannon in his palm was incredibly powerful. Even though it was successfully blocked by the Vibranium Shield, the powerful impact still sent Captain America staggering backward.

The occasional gravitational field device emitted from his arm caused Captain America considerable trouble, blasting him off the roof of the car several times in a row...

clang!
call out!
boom!
Boom!
The sounds of metal clashing, energy ejection, tires rubbing against the ground, and the terrified honking of horns from vehicles on both sides... all intertwined to create a chaotic symphony of death.

Like a petrel struggling to fly through a storm, Captain America, with his extraordinary physical abilities, superb fighting skills, and the indestructible Vibranium shield, barely managed to weather Ultron's ferocious attacks.

He was repeatedly knocked back by the immense force, yet he stubbornly pushed back each time.

Sparks flew from the shield, yet it remained as solid as a rock, protecting Captain America behind it.

Gradually, Captain America's breathing became heavy, and large patches of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, but his eyes became more and more determined.

This was a contest of skill and endurance, courage and determination with vastly different outcomes.

If he relaxes his guard even slightly, the consequences will be unimaginable!
“Natasha…”

After Captain America once again withstood a powerful punch from Ultron with his shield, he used the recoil to take a few steps back and hurriedly spoke into the communicator to Black Widow, who was piloting the Quinjet in mid-air:
"Could you use this opportunity to lure out the remaining three guards in the carriage?"

As he leaped onto the roof of the vehicle, he glimpsed inside the compartment. In addition to the Cradle of Life and Ultron, there were three steel mechs guarding the area.

"I'm not entirely sure if it will work," Black Widow said, a hint of excitement in her voice. "But let me give it a try."

Immediately, the roar of engines grew louder as the Quinjet, like a giant steel eagle, swooped down from the sky.

The fighter jets skimmed almost to the edge of the overpass, and the strong airflow they created caused the lighter cars on either side to sway.

Just as Captain America retreated again, dodging Ultron's laser barrage, the Quinjet's multi-barreled rotary cannons beneath its nose unleashed a torrent of scorching flames. Rat-a-tat-tat—!!!
A dense barrage of armor-piercing rounds, like a metallic storm, instantly enveloped the area behind the vehicle where 'Ultron' was located.

The bullets struck Ultron's metal body with a clanging sound. Although they could not penetrate its high-strength titanium alloy armor, the enormous impact and continuous blows successfully disrupted its attack rhythm, forcing it to raise its arm to protect the crucial sensors located on its head.

More importantly, this sudden aerial attack successfully attracted the "hatred" of the three steel mechs inside the carriage.

"Go! Shoot that annoying big fly down!"

'Ultron' gave the order, seemingly somewhat agitated.

The thrusters beneath the three steel mechs ignited instantly, and like three arrows released from a bow, they roared out of the open carriage and charged toward the Quinjet hovering in mid-air in a triangular formation.

"OK, the target has taken the bait, Captain."

Black Widow smiled in the cockpit and then steered the Quinjet to turn around.

call……

The Quinjet suddenly rolled sideways in mid-air to avoid an oncoming energy ray, then went into full power, trailing a long blue tail flame, and rapidly climbed towards the relatively open airspace above the city.

The three steel mechs followed closely behind, constantly firing energy beams.

Black Widow showcased her top-notch piloting skills, making the Quinjet seem almost alive under her control, performing all sorts of incredible evasive maneuvers in the air.

Sometimes it squeezes into the narrow gaps between buildings...

Sometimes it flies close to the ground, using buildings as cover to lead the pursuers away from the truck...

A tense and exciting aerial chase unfolds in the skies above Seoul.

"Is this your plan?"

Ultron glanced at the Quinjet in the sky and his lured-away subordinates, then turned his icy gaze to the panting Captain America opposite him. His synthesized electronic voice was filled with undisguised sarcasm, "A diversionary tactic? You don't actually think you can snatch the Cradle of Life from me with just a few of you, do you?"

Then he raised his hand and shot out five more laser beams from his fingertips.

Captain America first used his vibranium shield to block the five incoming laser beams, then a signature smile—the one that never falters no matter what—even appeared on his lips as he said without flinching:
"How will you know if you don't try... Besides, if this is all you're capable of, I could probably fight you all day long!"

He had said these words to his formidable enemy, the Red Skull, more than seventy years ago, and now, as he said them again, his tone was still full of indomitable fighting spirit.

Ultron was extremely disgusted by this persistent, clingy guy, but he couldn't do anything about him for the time being... to be precise, he couldn't do anything about the Vibranium Shield in Captain America's hand.

Most of his attacks failed to penetrate the Vibranium Shield.

Ultron's crimson eyes flashed incessantly, seemingly enraged by this stubbornness. "You're asking for death!"

The moment the last syllable fell, the [Gravity Field Device] on its arm suddenly lit up with a faint blue energy light.

hum-

A powerful, invisible traction field instantly erupted from Ultron, precisely enveloping Captain America.

"what?!"

Captain America felt an irresistible force suddenly grip his entire body, as if an invisible hand was violently pulling him forward.

His specially made combat boots sparked brightly as they rubbed against the steel plate on the roof of the vehicle, but they were no match for the pulling force. He was uncontrollably pulled towards 'Ultron' on the other side.

At the same time, Ultron timed its move perfectly, slightly tilting its body to the side. Its mechanical right leg, made of high-strength titanium alloy, shot out like a cannonball, whistling through the air.

The angle of the kick was extremely tricky, perfectly avoiding the Vibranium Shield blocking Captain America's path, and landing on his waist.

boom!
A heavy, muffled thud, accompanied by a faint sound of bones breaking.

The enormous impact struck Captain America squarely in the waist and abdomen. He felt as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding truck, his internal organs shifting instantly, and excruciating pain engulfing his entire body.

He was like a kite with a broken string, along with the shield he was still clutching tightly in his hand, when he was kicked away with a thud.

He tumbled helplessly in the air, tracing an arc, and finally crashed heavily onto the windshield of a private car that was driving normally behind him with a 'bang'.

This impact was more violent than the previous one.

The entire windshield shattered instantly, creating a large spiderweb-like crack and a terrifying, inward-denting crater.

The airbags inside the car were instantly triggered and exploded with a 'bang,' accompanied by screams from the driver and passengers.

Fortunately, the windshield cushioned the impact, and aside from what appeared to be a broken rib earlier, Captain America did not suffer any substantial damage from this attack.

"Cough cough cough..."

Captain America lay amidst the shattered glass, coughing violently, each breath accompanied by a sharp pain in his ribs. Although the Super Soldier Serum within him was helping to repair his injuries, the intense pain and temporary exhaustion still made it difficult for him to get up immediately.

He looked at the 'mechanical demon' on the roof of the car in the distance, slowly retracting its leg and its eyes glowing crimson, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

“Stark…” Captain America said breathlessly into the communicator, “If you don’t come soon, you might miss the most exciting part.”

Almost at the same instant his words fell, a suit of red and yellow steel armor, like a meteor tearing through the sky, swooped down from the distant horizon with a terrifying speed exceeding the speed of sound.

It was none other than Tony Stark's Mark 45 armor.

The Mark 45 armored vehicle, without slowing down in the slightest, slammed into 'Ultron', who had just finished its attack and had not yet recovered its posture, like a bowling ball.

BOOM——!!!
The deafening impact seemed to shatter all the surrounding glass.
