Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings

Chapter 424 The Invaded Spider Alliance

Half an hour later, in the conference room at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

The atmosphere was so heavy it was almost palpable.

Captain America, Carter, Natasha, Sif, Dr. Banner, T'Chaka, Namor, and even Strange, who had just gained his powers, were urgently summoned.

Tony Stark sat in the upper seat with a gloomy expression, his arms crossed in front of his chest, exuding a low-pressure aura that said "keep away".

His own creation, in his own home, right before his own eyes, declared its rebellion to the whole world, and almost sent him and the entire Stark Industries to their doom.

This was an unprecedented humiliation for the proud Iron Man.

That's the situation.

Tony briefly recounted what had happened, concluding, "An unknown artificial intelligence calling itself 'Ultron' invaded and devoured Jarvis and Freddy, took control of all Stark Industries' suits, and declared war on all of humanity."

"Its goal is to 'format' all of humanity."

"This is outrageous! Even science fiction comics wouldn't dare to draw it like this!" Carter, who had just been rejuvenated, couldn't help but complain.

Dr. Banner adjusted his glasses, and with a thoughtful expression, began to speak:

"This is indeed unscientific. The strange thing about this whole thing is the speed at which Ultron is developing!"

"Even AI with an astonishing learning speed needs a learning process to grow from its inception to the formation of its own thinking and data."

"But this Ultron suddenly appeared, devoured Jarvis and Freddy without anyone noticing anything unusual beforehand, and was suddenly able to declare war. This is simply illogical!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Yet, they couldn't think of a way to explain this strange phenomenon.

"Honey, you must already know the answer in your heart, right?"

Finally, Felicia looked directly at Peter and asked the question that was on everyone's mind.

Peter nodded slightly, then said:

"Is it possible that Ultron is not a product of our universe at all?"

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

"What do you mean?" Tony frowned.

"It means that we may have welcomed a 'smuggler' from a parallel universe."

Peter tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "I can be fairly certain that without the Mind Stone, it is impossible for a self-aware artificial intelligence to be born."

"But now, Ultron has appeared out of nowhere, and I think there can only be one explanation."

Peter's gaze swept over everyone present.

"In a parallel universe, none of you here could stop the birth of Ultron. As a result, Ultron in that universe continued to evolve, eventually becoming powerful enough to cross the barriers of the universe and attempt to wipe out all humanity in parallel universes and rule the entire universe!"

"This...isn't this too outrageous?" Having just become a superhero, Strange felt his worldview being repeatedly rubbed against, and he almost instinctively voiced his doubts:

How will you prove your guess?

"That's easy!"

Peter rolled up his sleeves, revealing a spider-themed watch on his wrist that he hadn't used in a long time.

Upon seeing this, everyone who had previously experienced the battle for succession showed an expression of understanding.

This is a tool used to contact the Spider Alliance.

Since dealing with the Heir family, Peter has rarely used the communicator that connects to the multiverse.

On the one hand, I have experienced too many things in my own universe to be able to deal with them all at once.

On the other hand, he also believes that the Spider-Men from different universes are capable of handling their own problems.

But now, the situation is different.

If Ultron truly came from another universe, then the most likely springboard it would choose for its invasion would be the Spider League, a multiverse transportation hub.

Once it controls that place, it can attack countless parallel universes like a virus.

Peter felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of that possibility.

In front of all the Avengers, he pressed the start button.

As expected, the familiar holographic interface composed of countless Spider-Man heads did not appear.

Instead, a glaringly static screen appeared, accompanied by a crackling electrical noise.

The communicator... has failed!

“It seems my guess was right.” Peter’s voice held no surprise whatsoever, only the chilling confirmation of a premonition.

The temperature in the entire conference room seemed to drop several degrees because of those words, and everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

If even the League of Spiders, a powerful organization composed of countless "Spider-Men," was silently taken over, without even giving Peter a warning.

Just how powerful is this Ultron from another world?

"What should we do now?" Carter frowned.

She suddenly felt completely out of touch with the times.

When she was still working, she was dealing with Hydra, but now that she's back at work, she's facing a super artificial intelligence from the multiverse.

The opponent's rapid pace of updates left this former veteran bewildered.

“Don’t worry.” Peter took a deep breath, his eyes growing sharper. “If the normal door won’t work, then we’ll smash open a window and go in.”

As he spoke, his storage ring flashed, and the Breaker's Hammer instantly appeared in his hand.

So what if the space device is forcibly sealed off?

With the Hammer of the Destroyer, a passage can always be opened.

Peter retrieves the Space Stone, which is buried deep underground within S.H.I.E.L.D.

Resonance is achieved through the dimensional coordinates of the Space Stone and the Spider Bracelet in hand.

The final hammer blow slammed heavily into the air beside him.

The next second, space shattered, and a passage leading to the unknown appeared before everyone present.

Without the slightest hesitation, Peter stepped into the crevice.

After navigating countless spatial turbulences, Peter finally arrived at his destination.

His pupils contracted the instant he appeared there.

He was certain that this was still the headquarters of the Spider Alliance, and the enormous mechanical spider perched atop the headquarters was still there.

But at this moment, those energy threads that connected the myriad universes like spider silk were replaced by countless thick metal cables that flashed with red data streams.

The entire space was transformed into a huge server room, filled with a cold sense of order and a suffocating sense of oppression.

What alarmed him even more was that there wasn't a single Spider-Man to be seen here anymore.

Instead, there are countless robots resembling Ultron from the movie!

The moment Peter appeared, all the Ultron robots locked onto this uninvited guest.

"Sizzle—!"

Without any hesitation, all the robots launched their attack simultaneously.

Instead, beams of extremely high-energy-density red lasers shot out from their eyes!

Thousands upon thousands of laser beams shot toward Peter from all directions, forming a deadly net that left no room for escape.

Sure enough, this place has been completely taken over by Ultron.

Chapter 425 Gathering Intelligence, Encountering 2099 Again

Faced with the overwhelming laser beams that formed a red web of death, Peter didn't even lift his eyelids.

The kaleidoscope spun wildly.

The next second, a colossal, azure energy skeleton, large enough to blot out the sky, rose from the ground, its menacing bone armor completely protecting Peter.

Susanoo!

The dense laser beams bombarded the energy shell, only creating tiny ripples that couldn't even make it shake.

“Very well, a pile of junk, and it’s not even junk that Tony paid to build. There’s no need to be polite.”

As he spoke, the flesh on Susanoo's skeleton grew wildly, and in no time it evolved from a half-skeletal creature into an armored general about ten meters long. (This was because the Ultron robot's height was only about two meters, so the height was reduced).

Peter stood within the crystal between Susanoo's eyebrows, looking down at a group of ignorant ants, and casually made a gesture of drawing his sword.

Clang!

The next second, Susanoo suddenly drew the long sword burning with raging flames from its waist.

Blade sweeps across!

The scorching blade light swept across like a tidal wave. The Ultron clones, made of special alloys, couldn't even offer a decent resistance. They instantly melted into pools of molten iron in the temperature exceeding 10,000 degrees Celsius, scorching the ground with a "sizzling" sound.

This was not a battle at all, but a one-sided, infuriatingly efficient massacre.

With a single sweep of the flaming longsword, a large number of Ultron robots vanished completely.

Its cleaning power is comparable to Musou's lawn mowing.

Several robots reluctantly activated their thrusters, attempting to sneak into gaps in Susanoo's armor or blind spots to launch an attack on Peter.

Peter merely sneered at this, then tossed out Senbonzakura.

"Scatter, Senbonzakura!"

The next second, a wave of cherry blossoms swept across the entire area, instantly turning those oblivious mechanical beings into metal mincemeat.

Three minutes later, the complete robot was no longer visible on the ground.

Five minutes later, the last batch of Ultron clones that rushed out from the backup passage were also all killed by Susanoo's sword.

The entire Spider Alliance's metal floor was raised two or three centimeters by the molten iron formed from the melting of Ultron's body.

"Done and that's it."
