infinite hero

When all the main forces of Kerry's army rushed to the earth, and Sid sent Tony to the treatment, the bad things on the earth did not stop.

Still in the deep underground laboratory.

"This thing deserves to be a difficult problem for more than half a century." Amidst the sound of clanging hammers, Doctor Doom's metal mask was illuminated by continuous sparks.

In front of him, in a tall insulated furnace, the small piece of metal was burning white hot, but it showed no sign of melting or deforming.

Loki walked in quietly and stood a little behind Doctor Doom, looking in no hurry. "It's okay," he said softly, "at least you know how to study it."

Because his mind was full of how to develop a new metal to replace his original armor, Doctor Doom didn't notice Loki's approach at all. "Are you back?" He turned his head sharply. "How's it going?"

After Loki gave the Adamantium alloy to Doctor Doom, they split into two groups: one to study the alloy's composition and forging methods, and the other to win over the new allies he wanted.

Loki raised a finger and shook it lightly. "Are you worried?"

Just like to show off, Doctor Doom frowned in his heart.But this kind of complaint, he was very clever not to show it. "I'm just asking."

Loki frowned and smiled. "Everything is going well," he said, almost smugly. "Big news."

"What?" Doctor Doom asked immediately, "Don't say it's the mess made by those robots?"

"Oh, of course not." Loki's smile widened. "Although those robots were beyond my expectation, I said they were better than them."

"...isn't it from Earth?" Doctor Doom guessed.

On the entire planet, the biggest disturbance now is the super artificial intelligence robot Ultron created by Dr. Ant-Man Pym!Even someone like him who rarely goes out knows it, what else can compare to it?If Loki hadn't lied to him, then Loki must have found some alien allies!

"I like to talk to smart people." Loki said this, which is tantamount to a default. "In fact, those Kree people are already ready to launch a war against the entire earth!"

"Kree?" Doctor Doom frowned again in his heart. "You persuaded them?" Loki can get an army with just one mouth?Exaggerated, right?

"I wanted to say something, but nothing I prepared was of any use. They have already achieved this kind of order." Loki was keenly aware of this doubt, but he didn't point it out. He just shrugged indifferently: "Then what?" Isn't it more reliable than coercion?"

Doctor Doom was really shocked this time. "Those aliens, why did they come?"

"Do you remember the last time I told you that Iron Man left Earth?" Loki raised his lips, "I thought it was just a way to hold them back for a while, but they turned it into a bigger one." disaster!"

"You mean, Iron Man attracted those aliens?" Doctor Doom felt that this matter was beginning to develop in the direction of a mess.But he can't say it's not a good thing.Chaos is the best occasion for revenge, he also smiled. "So you just said at the beginning that we have plenty of time."

Loki nodded. "The development of this matter is even more wonderful than I imagined." He hooked the corner of his mouth, "I'll go up later and see how bad our enemy is. Do you want to go together?"

Doctor Doom only took two seconds to think. "Let's do it next time." He said while looking at the old alloy in the furnace, "Let those robots drag it for us first, it will be more beneficial to us! When I finish the work at hand , I'll join them at once—" he said, with an evil gleam in his eye, "and even control them!"

Loki agrees with that. "In this way, what they will face is a wheel battle, and we just need to wait for the opportunity!"

The bright green light in the laboratory shone on them, turning the smiles on their faces into eerie.

3 minute later.

Rocky has appeared on the busiest street in all of Manhattan.He had already changed into a set of regular clothes at this time, and he looked no different from ordinary people on Earth.

But in fact, there is probably a little difference - because the current Manhattan does not conform to its usual impression!

On the side of the shopping street, pieces of floor-to-ceiling glass walls were smashed, and the ground was covered with debris, mixed with crooked dummy arms and fruit salads that were trampled into mud; the cries of children and the screams of women were all Disturbed by frequent gunshots and explosions, the downed billboards have also become a weapon; most people want to leave this place quickly, so that they can't take care of their belongings, and there are desperadoes taking advantage of it. Robbery--

As for Loki, he stood in the middle of the intersection where there should have been traffic lights, and looked up at the Avengers Building in the distance with a smile Contempt), this leisurely attitude is in stark contrast to the screaming and running crowd around——

Human beings are so interesting, what they make can destroy themselves!

He'd never heard of it; but it was awesome to be able to do it without him doing it!

At this time, it is necessary to turn the time axis forward and explain how the current chaos arises——

During the month after Sid and Tony left the earth in a spaceship, several residents entered the Avengers Building one after another, some of them lived permanently and some appeared occasionally.As soon as Tony left, only Hawkeye was the only talker left, and there was no quarreling.Therefore, after everyone accepted the departure of the Stark brothers, collective life became quite peaceful.

But usually, the good times don't last long.

Tony hooks up with Dr. Pym because of Adamantium.The latter's research scope is very wide. Apart from Zhenjin research, he also has great achievements in the field of microparticles-he is the discoverer of Pym particles, and it can be used to make extremely small robots or simply make oneself smaller, etc. aspect.

This is where his nickname Ant-Man comes from.

In addition, his deep knowledge in automation control made him focus on the research and development of artificial intelligence.Unlike Tony's idea of ​​developing Jarvis, he doesn't want an electronic butler, but a new artificial intelligence that can improve itself.

The starting point of this research cannot be said to be wrong, but the result is not very optimistic——

The program designed by Dr. Pim can indeed allow the robot he named Ultron to discover its own shortcomings, and then repair and improve it, but in the process, Ultron has developed self-awareness.If this is not a big deal, Ultron would absolutely wish to hate his maker——

Ultron feels that mechanical human bodies are far superior to human beings in terms of strength and wisdom.He is the best among humanoids, so it is necessary to promote the progress of the whole world!

Progress, this reason sounds high-sounding; but in essence, it is a kind of arrogance and discrimination.Because Ultron's way to make the world progress is to let humans go extinct, and then robots rule the earth!

Because Ultron concealed its psychological activities in the early days, Dr. Pym didn't realize what he had created for the first time.And just when he was negligent, Ultron got everything it thought it needed, and began to implement its ambitious new plan——

It's the most powerful robot ever!

Its shell is made of Adamantium alloy, which is almost indestructible; it has impressive data, such as flying at subsonic speed, as well as powerful strength and durability; the energy rays it emits can make human beings stunned instantly ; It possesses various offensive weapons, such as shock and explosion energy waves controlled by optical sensors; it can also hypnotize and control human thoughts, or implant subconscious hypnotic commands in their brains, and activate them when needed; it You can also learn lessons in the battle and adjust your coping strategies in time to ensure victory...

In contrast, how can humans be its opponents?

Therefore, the system of the Avengers Building has been tampered with, and the culprit is obvious-Ultron.It released its own hypnotic Trojan horse to control Jarvis, and after it succeeded, it gave Jarvis a new name "Vision" to reflect its own control!

In this way, the other Avengers could not control Jarvis for a while, and of course it was impossible to stay in the Avengers Building.And the reason why the outer space communication can be contacted is entirely because Ultron wants to know whether there will be two more enemies - which Stark is an expert in mechatronics, which is relatively difficult to deal with among humans. The kind!

The result made Ultron very satisfied.Sid and Tony can successfully go more than 200 million light-years away, but it doesn't mean they can come back without incident!

After receiving the news, Ultron walked out of the hall slowly, stood on the open-air balcony of the Avengers Building, and looked down at his glorious achievements——

It has copied part of its own consciousness, and let hundreds of robots do the work of killing humans for it!Listen, those screams and explosions are its triumphant song!

What?This is so obvious that humans will ask for foreign aid?

joke!It also controls electronic devices throughout New York City, from mobile phones to computers; all communication tools are subject to its instructions, coupled with hypnotic instructions, people in other places will not find abnormalities at all!

Therefore, it only needs to expand outward bit by bit, until finally the whole earth worships it as a god!

At this time, Ultron didn't know it at all. It thought it was the only artificial intelligence with self-awareness, so other artificial intelligences could only obey its orders honestly; but in fact, there was another exception——

Jarvis subconsciously hid the information of the two Infinity Stones on Sid, and knew that Ultron was not his master at all!

In any case, Ultron now doesn't take the desperate resistance of the few who are called superheroes by human beings into consideration.A drop in the bucket, he thought contemptuously, there are only a dozen people, it's too easy to get rid of!

Looking at the same scene, Loki's thoughts are completely different from Ultron's.In addition to using Ultron and its robots to consume the physical strength of the Avengers and others, he is more concerned about other things.

He sneaked into the Cree strategic base on Uranus before, and of course he got more than what he told Doctor Doom—

That's right, it's the Reality Gem!

Even if Sid and Tony were very lucky to reach more than 200 million light-years away, how did they just get the cosmic sphere?Although it is true that the existing Infinity Stones can improve strength and make it easier to win in the competition, but with Sid's stubborn character like a stinky stone...

Come on, probably from some cosmic peace point of view again!

But Starks are gem magnets!Infinity gems hit them one by one!

Loki thought bitterly.But he had no interest in peace or anything, so he immediately changed his thinking direction.If Sid and Tony have been brought to Asgard by the Rainbow Bridge, then maybe his suspended animation has been discovered——

Otherwise, with Heimdall's rigidity, how could he open the Rainbow Bridge transmission without authorization?Someone must have asked Heimdall to drive... either Thor or Frigg!

Considering that Sid has the Infinity Stone, Loki believes that his fake death will be exposed sooner or later.In the worst case scenario, once Thor finds out, he will come to Earth to arrest him immediately; even if he does not expose, the blood will flow on the earth, Thor should come down to save the atrium!

And he, Loki, was waiting for this moment!As long as Thor leaves Asgard, he can sneak into Asgard and regain his scepter and cosmic cube!

This plan can be described as comprehensive, Loki finally decided with satisfaction.That was why he had to get to the surface; he counted on, as soon as he saw the trail of the Rainbow Bridge, he would go at once!

"What are you doing here?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind Loki.

At this time, who else can care about others?Loki turned around suspiciously.Then he discovered that not only the voice sounded strange, but the person looked strange too. "I am fine, thank you."

The voice was a tall, thin young boy with short blonde hair, a pale face, and a sharp chin. "I can help you."

Loki simply didn't want to talk to this inexplicable accost.He is busy now! "I said it's all right." His tone became stiff, and it was obvious that it was an order to evict the guest.

"I can help you." But the boy repeated it again, and added: "I know, although you don't make a move now, you don't want those guys to succeed." He said, pointing in the direction of the Avengers Building.

Loki stared at the other party, momentarily puzzled.Who is this guy talking about?Ultron and its droids, or the Avengers, or both? "I don't know what you're talking about." He continued to deny it.

The boy suddenly laughed, showing two rows of white teeth. "I know you, evil god Loki." He was satisfied to see that Loki's eyes instantly became needle-like. "I saw you, in the Avengers Building. Of course, it was still Stark Tower at that time."

Just as Loki couldn't remember when he'd seen the boy, he couldn't guess what the boy wanted to do. "Are you..." he asked, not without discretion.

"Harry Osborn, you can call me Harry." Harry continued to smile, "I want to take a minute of your time, and I promise I won't disappoint you."

Back to Sid.

Although the armor was separated when touching the Reality Gem, the impact of the Reality Gem on Tony was also very violent.In fact, armor offers no protection at all against the Reality Stone, since they are not in the same order of magnitude at all.If it weren't for Sid's two infinity gems and his timely response, there would be no Iron Man in the entire universe now.

"You're quick, he's lucky," Frigg said after a brief inspection.

"The impact of the Reality Gem on Tony...?" Sid asked quickly.They have limited time now, and they have to pick the most urgent problems to solve first.

Frigg glanced at Tony's chest.Now that Tony's armor had been removed, they could now see the blinding purple light and the freshly bandaged shoulder wound more clearly. "If he can get over it at the beginning, it will be easier later on."

Sid finally breathed a sigh of relief.Either way, he was counting on saving Tony's life first, and the rest later. "Then let's go now!" He turned his head and said to Thor who was waiting on the side.

But Frigga stopped suddenly. "The news that Loki is not dead, I have also heard."

"I'll find out when I go to the atrium, mother." Thor promised, "If he's still alive, I'll definitely bring him back to see you!" This was a skillful way of saying it, because it avoided possible ways of dealing with it.

Even Sid couldn't help looking at Thor one more time.Compared with their first meeting, Thor really looks more and more like a king.

Frigg nodded. "That's not all I want to say." She said calmly, "You take Loki's scepter away, Thor."

As soon as the words were spoken, Sid and Thor cast their eyes on Frigg at the same time—why did they take away Loki's weapon?It can't be that it was specially provided to Loki to fight against his brother, right?Or rather...

"Do you think that Loki is not only alive, but also waiting for a chance to retrieve his weapon?" Sid came up with the most reasonable guess in the shortest time.Odin is asleep, and once Thor leaves Asgard, no one can stop Loki!

Frigga nodded, with a slightly pained look on her face. "I love Loki, I know him. If he gets to the point where he dies to escape Asgard...this is our last chance, Thor."

Last chance for redemption?This is real love, not spoiling!Sid couldn't help feeling a little admiration for Frigg.

Thor also came back to his senses. "I understand, mother." He stepped forward and gave Frigg a firm hug, with a firm tone, "I will definitely bring Loki back!"

So, very quickly, they arranged everything.As long as the news that Tony has the Reality Gem doesn't get out, then he, and Frigg who treats him, won't be a threat, or at least there won't be a big threat.The Cosmic Cube is placed in the underground vault, guarded by the black iron giant Destroyer.As for Loki's scepter, it was carried by Thor - Frigga cast magic on it, and it was difficult for others to detect.

"You won't use invisibility this time, will you?" Thor asked Sid when he returned to the golden ball.If you want to conceal your identity, of course it will affect your strength!

Sid looked down and saw the veins looming in Thor's hand holding the hammer. "No," he quickly denied, "They have already touched my bottom line!" Blowing up the Stark Tower is nothing; dare to hurt Tony, or such a serious injury... Huh! "I can't wait to see them all pay the price!"

Having said that, enough is enough.Thor nodded slightly towards Heimdall, and the latter immediately raised the golden giant sword and thrust it down——

A dazzling beam of light obliterated everything.The next second, Sid found that he was standing on the roof of his own building.

"You are here, I'll go see if I can find Loki!" Thor said quickly.When he finished speaking, his people had disappeared among the tall buildings.

Returning to the earth again, the surrounding scenes are both familiar and strange.Sid took a deep breath, and in the next second, he saw that Hawkeye was trying to climb up the opposite building, followed by densely packed, let alone hundreds of robots!

Sid squinted.He raised one hand, spread his five fingers slightly, and aimed in the direction—five dark red light beams shot out from his fingertips and hit the opposite side——

Bang, boom, boom!

Hawkeye, who was being chased so embarrassingly, hadn't reacted for a while.He felt the wall-grasping rope in his hand shake by the explosion wave, and thought it was some robot that blew itself up.But he immediately realized that if the explosion was really aimed at him, he couldn't have missed a single fragment, so he couldn't help but look down——

Don't look at it, look at it!

Who killed all those locust-like robots?It's only a second, right?

"You should look down from another place."

Following these words, Hawkeye felt his body lighten, and the foreground flashed by in an instant.When he came back to his senses, he found that he had reached the top floor of the building he was climbing. "Are you... wait?" He suddenly matched the voice with the person he remembered: "Sid Stark?"

Although Tony and Sid on the spaceship could not contact the Avengers because the Jarvis system was tampered with, this obviously did not affect the communication between Hawkeye and other Avengers members—

"What are you talking about, Agent Patton?" Natasha was the first to reply to him, the background sound was a lot of creaking metal distortions (obviously she was fighting a lot of robots), "although I have to admit that hope De Stark's lethality, but didn't both Starks go to outer space? We couldn't even tell them that something big happened to us!"

"But I seemed to really hear it just now..." Hawkeye tried to refute.But he looked around, but did not see a familiar figure.

"Seriously, if you're already in position, tell us the battle situation!" Steve's voice could be heard in the electric current mixed with heavy panting.

"I know, I'm looking, but the arrow seems to be gone..." Hawkeye decided not to dwell on his guess—after all, he really didn't have time—but he groped back and suddenly found his quiver, which was almost empty Also full. "I don't know what's going on, but we must have reinforcements! Come on, guys!"

As he said that, he bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot towards the most densely populated robot - there, the angry Hulk was grabbed by the limbs by the swarming robots. This arrow undoubtedly saved a lot of struggling time!

Several Avengers members were unable to notice what was really going on with Hawkeye because they were drowned in a sea of ​​robots, but Ultron was different. "Who's here? Stark?" It couldn't believe what it heard!

Just when it quickly analyzed whether it was more likely that Jarvis deceived it or that Sid returned to Earth from more than 200 million light-years away in such a short period of time, the result came out——

"You are Ultron?" Sid manipulated the air and flew up easily as if walking in space, with his signature smile on the business negotiation table on his face.
