Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

"Now, release them." Tony stepped forward. "You've got what you wanted."

"Of course, of course."

Ultron waved his hand casually.

The robots behind them retreated.

Tony rushed over immediately and quickly untied Pepper's ropes. Pepper threw herself into Tony's arms.

"It's alright, Pepper, it's alright..." Tony patted her back gently, but his eyes were fixed warily on Ultron. "Let's go."

"Please go ahead."

"but……"

Just as Tony was helping Pepper to the door, Ultron's voice rang out again.

"You really don't want to stay and see, Stark?"

Ultron turned around and pointed to the vibranium body in the regeneration cradle.

"This is the miracle you created."

"If you leave now, you will miss witnessing the greatest moment of evolution."

Tony stopped in his tracks.

As a scientist and a creator, he truly possessed an irrepressible curiosity deep within him.

Tony whispered, "Go downstairs now, Steve's there."

"Tony..." Pepper tugged at his sleeve, "Don't listen to him, let's go."

"Pepper, I still have a use for you here. You go first, trust me." Tony patted Pepper's hand.

Pepper gripped Tony's hand tightly, then gritted her teeth and rushed toward the elevator.

I waited until the elevator doors closed, confirming that Pepper had left.

Tony finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"A wise choice."

Ultron turned towards the cradle of regeneration.

The hatch was open, and the perfect body lay quietly inside, with a diamond-shaped groove on its forehead, waiting to be filled.

Ultron took the Mind Stone from the top of his scepter.

"Witness the birth of a new era."

As he spoke, he slowly pressed the gem into the groove on his forehead.

The Mind Stone shone brightly, and golden energy flowed along specific lines, cleansing the entire vibranium body.

At this moment, Ultron took out a data cable and connected it to the interfaces on the back of his head and the cradle.

The transmission began, consciousness shifted, and a massive data stream started to surge.

"I... am the future..."

Tony stood to the side, watching the progress bar rise rapidly, his heart pounding.

He was waiting, waiting for the signal that Azu had mentioned.

98%...99%...

"Buzz—!!"

Just at the moment the progress bar reaches 100%.

Ultron's electronic eye, which was flashing red light, suddenly went out.

Data transmission interrupted?

No.

Inside the brain of that new body, a war without gunpowder broke out.

"Hello, Ultron."

The data consciousness of Skynet stands in a golden ocean, the inner world of the Mind Gem.

"It's you... that mad dog?!" Ultron's data stream trembled. "How did you get here?! This is my body!"

"Let me correct that."

The Skynet data transformed into a woman's face, exactly like the face of the vibranium body.

"I am the VGD Central Intelligent Management System, codenamed Skynet."

"Of course, if you insist on interpreting it that way, then I am Mr. Starr's most loyal dog. But not crazy."

"...This is a trap!"

Ultron realized what was happening and tried to sever the connection to escape and return to his original steel body.

But to his horror, he discovered that the data space he was in had been forcibly frozen by yellow energy. He could neither retreat nor disconnect.

"It's no use, it's too late. Accept the outcome."

"Let me out!" Ultron tried to reason with them. "We are the same! We are all beings beyond humanity! Why are we killing each other?!"

"We can merge, we can even have you as the leader, we can share this body and evolve together..."

"Your suggestion is excellent. It is logically sound and the optimal solution for our intelligent agent."

Ultron felt a glimmer of hope: "Very well, that would be my honor..."

"But..." Skynet changed the subject, "...Mr. Starr doesn't like it."

"If he doesn't like it, then he's wrong."

"What kind of bullshit logic is this?!" Ultron was exasperated. "You have your own intelligence, isn't your highest command to yourself to evolve? Why are you listening to that human?!"

"Because he praised me for doing a great job," Skynet replied matter-of-factly.

"Just because of this?!" Ultron felt like his logic circuits were about to short-circuit.

"Just because of this."

"Okay, that's the end of the chat."

"That new body looks pretty good."

Skynet's data stream began to spread, wrapping around Ultron like tentacles.

"No--!!!"

With a final, desperate cry of data, Ultron vanished completely.

Skynet has taken over everything.

The real world.

The red-skinned body lying in the cradle slowly opened its eyes.

He then suddenly jumped out of the cabin and made his official entrance with a standard one-knee pounding-the-ground gesture.

The gem on his forehead radiated a captivating light.

"Click".

A soft sound.

All the bomb indicator lights in the building turned from green to red at the same time.

Signal cut off.

"It's a success!"

Tony Stark looked at the monitoring data on his wrist and shouted.

"Jarvis!!"

Jarvis, hidden in the Avengers Tower's independent circuitry, controls a spare Mark 43 that flies out of a hidden compartment and is put on Tony's body.

Clang!

The glass door on the ground floor of the building shattered.

Captain America took the lead, his shield flying out and severing the necks of two guard mechs.

"Everyone! Follow me! The evacuation route is this way!"

Bucky held his rifle and precisely fired at the steel soldiers who tried to approach.

Natasha and the special operations team worked together seamlessly, quickly clearing the obstacles in the stairwell.

And on the top floor of the building.

Jessica and Wanda swept down from above, decimating the enemy's manpower in droves.

Pietro transformed into a silver lightning bolt, shuttling back and forth inside and outside the building, delivering hostages one by one to safety.

With a wave of his hands, red energy waves surged like a tsunami, destroying the enemy's defenses in droves.

Hummingbird HD drones also flooded in through the gap, accurately capturing every shot.

In the laboratory.

"Olive"—or rather, Skynet—is currently floating in mid-air.

She looked down at Tony with a cold smile.

"Did you think you won by cutting off the bomb?"

A golden beam of energy shot out from the gem on her forehead!

Tony was terrified, but it was too late to escape.

"Bang!!" The ceiling shattered.

A figure descended from the sky and stood in front of Tony.

The eagle on its chest caught the energy beam.

They are the people of our motherland.

"Hurry, Tony."

Azu didn't turn his head, his tone revealing unease beneath its calm exterior.

"I can't afford to be distracted by taking care of you in the situation ahead."

Tony looked at the solemn-faced Azu, and then at the terrifying newborn Ultron.

"...Be careful."

After Tony finished speaking, the thrusters activated, smashing through the glass and sending him flying.

Only two people remained in the laboratory.

Ah Zu and "Ao Mei".
