infinite hero

No adjective can accurately express Ultron's feelings when he sees Sid appear in front of him out of nowhere.

Just kidding, how is it possible for an Earthling to fly into the sky without any form of booster?Are the laws of science fed to the dogs?

The alarm bells in Ultron's heart rang.Under normal circumstances, it should attack immediately; but it immediately realized that no matter what caused Sid Stark to return to Earth from outer space, more than 200 million light-years away, in an hour, it would Must be prepared for emergencies!

If a person can approach it without it noticing, it means that the other party has successfully evaded all the monitoring equipment it has set up!

So is there any other option?Naturally, it will be delayed for a while, at least until it implants a replica hypnosis program!

"Sid Howard Stark." Ultron managed to make his answer sound exactly like his usual tone. "I'm surprised."

It didn't take much effort for Sid to guess why the other party said that.What's more, Heimdall has told him how Ultron invaded the Avengers Building.But on the face of it, he still pretended not to be so sure: "Did Jarvis tell you, or were you beside Jarvis at that time?" If the hole card is easily revealed, it is not the hole card!

"There is no Jarvis in the world anymore!" Ultron immediately gave a third answer.

After analyzing the reliability of the algorithm, it still believed that Jarvis had no chance to get rid of its program, so it focused on the person in front of it.

But within half a second, it discovered that its energy rays had no effect on Sid at all!To be exact, Sid's skin seemed to have an energy shield, beyond what it knew, so that those rays bounced back...

wtf!Could this be the secret of Sid being able to fly into the sky in a civilian suit?

Compared with Ultron's inner roar, Sid is not angry at all.Although it seemed to the naked eye that Ultron did not show any intention of attacking him, he could sense that the other party was trying to analyze him with known scientific methods and then defeat him.

"Can you control Ultron, if it really has a soul like it thinks?" Sid asked the Soul Stone in his head.

Soul Gem's answer sounded particularly off-putting. "Even if you say that every flower and grass has a soul, this robot definitely doesn't have one!"

That is to say, the essence of Ultron is still those intelligent upgrade programs.Sid can understand this unpleasantness, because it is not within the control of the soul gem, and the soul gem has always hoped that its power will become stronger.

But now isn't the best time to figure out what exactly the Soul Stone can't control.

Sid has discovered that the outer shell of Ultron is made of adamantium alloy, but the inner part is not hard enough.But this is enough to make Ultron invincible at the technological level of the earth, because its shell is almost indestructible.If there is only a little matter that can break Ultron's armor, it will certainly be difficult to deal with.

But the problem is that Sid himself is not an Earthling.

As Heimdall opened the Rainbow Bridge, taking Sid and Tony away from the Kree siege, the Reality Stone happened to come into contact with Tony's Armorer, causing the explosion to reach the golden orb at the end of the Rainbow Bridge.Sid was so preoccupied with Tony's safety that he paid no attention to the rest of the ship; and then, in the golden ball, there was no sign of the ship, only a few shards of adamantium—

It is very obvious that the energy of the cosmic sphere is enough to change and destroy the adamantium.And if the Reality Gem destroys the alloy through its ability to change all physical and chemical properties, the ether can use its truly indestructible nature of power and the small space distortion it brings to make the Adamantium alloy shatter or disappear without a trace.

Different Infinity Stones sometimes achieve the same result, even though they work differently.

After thinking about this, Sid understood that just as he easily let those hundreds of robots explode into another world, he could also easily deal with Ultron--Ultron has indeed reached the pinnacle in some aspects, but there is no limit Gemstones exist far beyond the technological level of the earth, or even the technological level of the universe. Dealing with Ultron can be said to be a sledgehammer——

But there is one more problem.

This kind of human-like intelligence is not within the control range of the soul gem, and the soul gem probably can't do anything about it; it is not a specific force or reality, nor does it really exist in space or time; it is an invisible will, from a certain On the one hand, it represents the spirit of continuous improvement of mankind——

How is this going to be destroyed?

Human beings will never stop at one place and stand still; that is to say, even if an Ultron is destroyed, and any material storing its algorithm is completely destroyed, the next Ultron will definitely be produced!

"How many generations of Ultron are you?" Sid asked coldly.

During Sid's short period of thinking, Ultron had already gone through all the attack methods it could have, and found out angrily that it had no way to attack at all.

But how is this possible?It can't deal with an earthling?Even its researcher, Dr. Pim, couldn't reach this level of perfection!

Sid's question was stuck just before Ultron planned to spread his mind replicas. "How did you know?" Its question was almost reflexive, and then it realized something else: Sid's thinking speed (how to grasp the point) was far beyond what it could have predicted!

"Fifth generation." Before Ultron answered, Sid got the conclusion from the wind perception.To be honest, he can get all the information about the facts that have happened if he wants to. "It took less than a month." He realized that this was a very dangerous time, because it was too fast, and the speed of replacement could only be faster!

Although these words are correct, Ultron felt that he fell into deeper doubts.

How did Sid know?This is not a problem that can be explained by which robot leaked the news, because it never told the second person these secrets—it created a new body for itself according to the improved results obtained by its own algorithm—!

From this point of view, there must be something wrong with the data it got, or it was not collected comprehensively.Or, has Sid changed a lot during his recent trip to outer space?

However, it is impossible for Sid to leave time for Ultron to improve——

For the sound of wind and steam swirled around him, bringing news from the ground.If no action is taken, the robots will soon use human wave tactics to bring down the entire Manhattan area.Even if it may never be completely eradicated, the fifth generation of Ultron must not stay!

A dark red water curtain ball flew out of thin air, wrapping the tall robot that hadn't realized it yet; the next moment, the ball twisted and shrank inward, like a twisted balloon, and soon made a soft "crack" sound. ring--

In the next second, the person standing on the open-air balcony of the Avengers Building became Sid!

The commander was dead, and all the robots forgot what they were supposed to do for a split second.The sluggish, panic-stricken crowd who were busy avoiding the robots hadn't noticed it yet, but the Avengers who were surrounded by many robots immediately noticed——

"Eh? They all suddenly became stupid?" Hawkeye stood at the highest, so he quickly found that the chaotic situation below became calm——

Because the robot suddenly became a headless chicken and completely lost its target, not to mention beating up a few of them in an organized and regular manner like before!

Steve was wrestling with a robot that was grabbing him by the neck (difficult because no less than ten robots had grabbed both of his arms) when he suddenly felt his body loosen.He tossed off all the mechanical arms, legs and other things on his body, grabbed the shield that was squeezed to the side just now, and then looked around: "Temporary or forever?"

"I don't know, it will be forever if they are all resolved?" Natasha answered after hearing the words, not far from him.She used to rely on deft movements to fight around the robot's crowded head and shoulders, and then jumped down, not forgetting to clear the surrounding area with a powerful roundabout kick.

Boom—boom!

The Hulk Hulk directly used this answer to pour out his anger-there are so many robots that he can't even throw his hands!After finally getting some free time, why don't you spend enough money?

It has to be said that without the overall control, this is as easy as mowing grass.Because the robots are too dense, Hulk can throw out more than a dozen in one go!

The big green man smashed happily on his own, while the other three realized in this rumbling background sound that something must be wrong with the boss of the robot, that is, Ultron.

"Who brought down Ultron? Dr. Pym?" Natasha asked, putting on a defensive position, obviously still wary of the possibility of the robot's sudden counterattack.

Steve felt a little suspenseful. "Dr. Pym went to Antarctica to find the materials needed for vibranium to deal with Ultron. He just left not long ago." He looked at the time on his wristband. "Could it be that he came back so soon?"

"Didn't see anyone, did you?" Hawkeye interrupted.As he spoke, he put his hands over his eyes, trying to see the difference.

"Even if Dr. Pym comes back, we won't be able to see it with our eyes!" Natasha reminded.Under normal circumstances, they would have to use a quark-level electron microscope to see the transformed Ant-Man!

Hawkeye, however, had seen what he wanted to see. "But I still think that this matter has nothing to do with the doctor." His tone suddenly rose, "Someone entered the Avengers Building from the balcony!"

"What?!" Both Steve and Natasha were shocked. "Iron Man is back?!"

"Back to me, I didn't see his face, but he's definitely not wearing armor." Hawkeye said quickly, he had already started to slip the rope downstairs, ready to take a shortcut and swing there, "I still think it's Sid Star K, anyone willing to bet with me?"

As for Sid himself, he didn't know that she was Hawkeye's new bet.After dealing with Ultron, he looked down for a few seconds to make sure the situation was under control.Then he turned around and went back to the Avengers Building-who dares to touch their electronic butler?Are you courting death?

Because he thinks that Ultron's control over Jarvis is likely to be deeper and harder to get rid of than those miscellaneous soldiers below, so Sid doesn't have much confidence in whether Jarvis still recognizes him.But fortunately, the balcony door that was originally open did not close immediately, giving him a complete rejection.

"Jarvis?" Sid uttered when he entered the hall from the corridor.

There was peace.The decoration and furnishings in the hall were exactly the same as before they left, the only difference was that there was no one there.

"Jarvis?" Sid called again tentatively.Although the electronic butler was developed by Tony, Tony never avoided him to do it; therefore, he not only knew where the main control room was, but also knew Jarvis's algorithm. "How are you?"

Silence, still no answer.

This made Sid realize that Jarvis was likely to be paralyzed, which would explain his lack of response since entering the door.He immediately quickened his pace and rushed to the corner of the stairs.

And when Sid reached the entire control wall, he immediately discovered that the situation was worse than he had imagined—if the system was really down, the multiple electronic signals on the wall would all disappear and turn into a black screen ;Now, there are countless unintelligible gibberish flashing on it!

This is the whole system out of order!

Regardless of complaining, Sid immediately started debugging and repairing instructions.But it's really not easy to do this - those foreign program codes will not only destroy, not only consciously hide their whereabouts, but also automatically change the attack method according to the obstacles encountered!

There is no doubt that Ultron has contributed a lot to this chaotic situation!

Sid gritted his teeth.He decided that no matter how many generations Ultron will renew itself in the future, he will give them an ether ball, so that they will disappear into ashes!

If Tony were here, he would definitely be better at it; but Sid's work efficiency is not too slow - in 10 minutes, he quickly compiled an automatic tracking program, found and eradicated several of the largest Trojan horses, and on the screen Still keep returning all kinds of suspicious results...

"I'm sure I can get rid of them." Sid whispered to himself, tapping the control keyboard with a length of more than five meters, "When Tony comes back, he probably won't be furious about this matter... "

"Sir." Before Sid's voice completely disappeared, a second voice came in.

Sid looked up sharply.There are still many chaotic dots and lines on the control screen in front of him, there shouldn't be... No, the voice came from behind!But when he really turned around, he was instantly stunned by what he saw: "...Jarvis?"

Usually, before actually manufacturing a weapon or an armor, Tony will first turn the two-dimensional design drawings into a three-dimensional, operable three-dimensional Blu-ray skeleton model.So, a few blu-rays are nothing——

But who could tell him why those rays formed the silhouette of a young man?

"...Are you really Jarvis?" Sid was so shocked that he couldn't help asking again.

"I don't know. It seems that I have another name called Vision." The translucent man who appeared out of nowhere replied, "But if you didn't stop the self-destruct process in time, then I should explode at this time No matter who I am, I sincerely thank you for everything you have done for me."

Hearing this, Sid couldn't help but look back at his interception and deletion results.But it wasn't really necessary, because he could figure out who made the self-destruct program - no one but Ultron - and he really cared about another point more than that.

"When you said 'I,'" he asked researchingly, "what did you define yourself as?" Why did he feel that Ultron's sense of self probably infected Jarvis as well?

The man didn't answer Sid right away.He first turned his head to look in the direction of the closed door, and then turned back. "No need to assume," he said, in a very calm voice, "this answer seals my fate."

Obviously, no matter whether this man is the consciousness of Jarvis or the consciousness of Vision, he has fully understood the fate of Ultron.In addition, in the case of such a disparity in power, the man's indifferent tone and the content of his words seemed a bit unflattering.

However, Sid heard something familiar from the latter point.He simply turned around completely, leaned back on the half-human height console, crossed his arms with his chest, and no longer cared about the return results on the screen. "That's not necessarily true," his tone raised slightly. "If you know Ultron, you should know it too. To me, Jarvis and Ultron are not comparable."

The man kept staring at Sid, and a small smile appeared on the corner of his tightly pursed mouth.Since he appeared, his face has been expressionless, and his smile unexpectedly added a bit of handsomeness to him. "The implication is that you will not hesitate to attack Ultron, but you will show mercy to Jarvis?"

"Jarvis is our electronic butler," Sid admitted nonchalantly.They all know these things and know each other, so it doesn't matter how you mention them. "Even if everyone said it was a bunch of programs, that meant something different to us; definitely different than a bunch of other programs."

"All artificial intelligence is a program, but there are some things that make you feel the difference." The man said, there was no surprise in his voice, as if he had expected it. "And when you say 'we,' doesn't that mean you speak for your brother as well?"

"Of course, there is no doubt about it." Sid nodded, and added: "Even, I can say that Jarvis is more of a friend than a housekeeper."

The man paused for a while.

During this interval, Sid heard faint footsteps from outside—obviously, someone came in to check, most likely other Avengers.

Sid could sense someone out there, and so could a man.But he didn't care too much and didn't look back. "You have answered so many questions, so you probably already expected what I will answer?"

"No, when you say 'I', we can't control your choice." Sid said. "Although in fact, the decision should have been in my hands, or Tony's."

The man laughed again.This time the arc was bigger, so that there were dimple marks on one cheek. "I can choose to continue to be Jarvis, or become a Vision; but am I also fully responsible for the consequences that follow?"

"I can only say that we cannot force any free consciousness to do whatever it wants; but if it touches the bottom line of the law, no matter who it is, it will pay the price." Sid said.If self-awareness of artificial intelligence is an inevitable trend, then they must at least follow a certain social norm like humans!

The man nods. "You're right." He extended his right hand toward Sid. "It's good to see you back, sir."

"So what should we call you?" Sid didn't immediately reach out.

"It's fine as you think." The man said, "Although I guess, it's [-]% likely to be Jarvis." It can't be said that he didn't feel happy when he said that.

Sid stared at the other person's face and felt his hand touch a manipulative hand—of course the tactile sensation was similar to manipulating a mechanical 3D model, but he could never shake hands with a real machine. "I can already imagine Tony's reaction when he sees you."

It must be "How can I create such a cold and poisonous artificial intelligence", "It is definitely not my fault if I am always mocked by the artificial intelligence", "The artificial intelligence will never do my business when it becomes a human. ’ and ‘Bring back my lovely Jarvis’!

However, to be honest, I am afraid that no one believes that Jarvis, who always speaks a pure British accent and has a cold and mocking face, was ever innocent and cute.

Jarvis smiled at Sid's answer. "I'm looking forward to it too, sir." Then he changed the subject and said, "There is a lady and three gentlemen who have been waiting for you in the hall for a long time, sir."

Voila, here it comes!Sid almost rolled his eyes.Waiting for a long time or something, who was he talking to before!

As for a lady, three gentlemen, there is no one but four Avengers.When they saw Sid come out from behind the door, the expressions on their faces changed from one to the other in shock——

Hawkeye was the first to come to his senses. "Sid, I say?" he cried. "I've won the bet! I've won!"

The smudged Steve took out a ten-dollar bill from his pocket, and patted it on Hawkeye's outstretched palm without looking at it. "Here," he said, but his eyes were fixed on Sid, [-]% surprised, "Why are you back?"

"Rainbow Bridge," Natasha said sharply, "I guess it's this...although I thought it was Thor at the time."

Hawkeye frowned at the mere ten dollars, but tucked away the bill anyway. "Thor is here too?" He looked up at Sid, "Why didn't I see it?"

"Thor and I did arrive together through the Rainbow Bridge." Sid said succinctly, and was very pleased to find that although the four people looked a little embarrassed, they were still whole and conscious. "He went to Loki."

"...What?" Everyone asked in unison.They just relaxed a little, and told them the tragic news that the evil god is not dead?How inhumane!

"That's right, Loki faked his death, and neither Thor nor I have a good guess about what he's going to do next." Sid shrugged helplessly.

Hearing this, Hawkeye immediately collapsed on the sofa. "Let me die again!" he wailed loudly.

But compared to this, Bruce, who has never found a chance to speak, is more concerned about another question: "You are back, what about Tony?"
