Infinite Ultron shattered Uatu's power with a single punch and a green light burst forth from his brow.
This was a ray containing the power of time, enough to cause the Time Rift to collapse, leading to a domino effect where the interconnected Universes would shatter one after another.
"It's over!"
Stephen realized what was happening, his mind going blank.
Aaron frowned slightly.
He suddenly appeared in front of Infinite Ultron.
Infinite Ultron remained expressionless.
Countless people had tried to stop him from destroying worlds, but they had all failed.
All Planets, all observable Universes, had been reduced to ruins by his Sentinel army.
This human would be the same.
He wasn't even interested in knowing his name.
Until—
A deep black hole appeared in Aaron's right hand, swallowing the power of time in one gulp.
Ultron's red eyes burst with a dazzling light. "Who are you?"
"That power just now... I don't understand it. It seems unpredictable."
Ultron, who could calculate the will of The Watcher Uatu, was currently unable to calculate Aaron's methods. This not only surprised Ultron but also made him feel a trace of apprehension.
Uatu was also very surprised.
He looked at Aaron, first frowning, then his expression changed drastically, and he instinctively took half a step back.
"You are the Time Anchor."
Hearing this, Aaron ignored Ultron and looked at Uatu instead. "Oh, you know me?"
Uatu shook his head, but then nodded. "I cannot observe your past or future, but I know everything that happens on Earth."
"You are the Time Anchor, and also the Space-Time Anchor. The Universe you reside in is incredibly stable... but this shouldn't be happening."
"Since you have come to this Universe, this world shouldn't be suffering this level of damage."
Uatu was very confused, and he was quite wary of Aaron internally.
There was something he hadn't said aloud.
He had observed Aaron before, but after just a few days, he dared not observe Aaron again.
A subtle feeling was warning him that if he continued his observation, something extremely terrifying would happen. So Uatu retreated cautiously.
However, he did not expose Aaron's uniqueness.
Because Aaron's existence was just one of countless "What Ifs."
He had sworn an oath that he could not change the natural laws of all things.
Until just now, when he discovered Infinite Ultron, he had to change his initial belief. He was about to start interfering with natural laws.
"Aaron, the great lord of the nine realms, Star-Forging God, Mr. Miracle, Time Anchor..."
"We should unite, protect this world, and stop this lunatic."
"He is trying to destroy the Infinite Universe and reduce all things to eternal silence."
Aaron nodded slightly, showing no surprise, as if he would never display further emotion.
At this point, Infinite Ultron finally withdrew his gaze from Aaron. "It's strange. I tried to use the power of the Infinity Stones to scan your data, but I failed."
"You are an anomaly. You are not a life form of this Universe, nor are you a creature of reality."
"You shouldn't exist."
For the first time, Infinite Ultron's voice contained extra emotional fluctuation.
Although he had become "human," his consciousness was still artificial intelligence. He didn't possess emotions or desires, nor would he feel sorrow for the fading of life.
But this time, he saw Aaron and realized that there was always a higher power.
A trace of worry arose in Ultron's heart, an ephemeral emotion that even he himself did not detect.
"But I am right before your eyes, aren't I?"
Aaron raised an eyebrow, keenly sensing the momentary emotional change in Ultron.
"So you can feel fear too?"
Yes, Ultron was afraid.
It was the terror of the unknown.
Infinite Ultron had already possessed all the prerequisites of a person ever since he acquired Vision's body.
If you are a person, you will have fear. Infinite Ultron was no exception.
Infinite Ultron remained silent for a moment, seemingly stunned by Aaron exposing his emotional change.
The brief silence was like the calm before the storm.
Subsequently, Infinite Ultron's expression turned ferocious, and seven-colored light erupted from his body.
"Yes, you are right before my eyes. Therefore, I will make you return to where you belong: the annihilation of non-existence."
Some people, when facing the unknown, will feel fear and lose all fighting spirit while others will charge forward fearlessly.
Infinite Ultron was not purely human. His underlying logic drove him to constantly move forward.
Either kill the opponent, or be killed by the opponent.
With the six Infinity Stones in hand, everyone else was but a minor figure.
Infinite Ultron immediately abandoned Uatu. The purple gem representing Power erupted with dazzling light, and that seemingly ordinary punch instantly traveled hundreds of meters, forming a pitch-black line. The violent force ripped open a straight line of space, containing the convergence of power equivalent to at least 10^30 Joules.
Aaron's expression remained unchanged. He fearlessly swung his fist, casually drawing dozens of stellar powers from his countless cells.
These energies were frantically squeezed and erupted, causing Aaron's physical strength to continuously increase before he fiercely unleashed a strike.
Boom!
The savage force exploded violently in the air, raising a sky-obscuring mushroom cloud that pierced the atmosphere, causing the entire surface of the planet to let out a mournful cry under the unbearable pressure.
Infinite Ultron was sent flying backward, unable to stabilize his body.
A majestic, solemn, and vast voice, like thunder and the roar of a great being, seemed to come from beyond the sky, echoing throughout the entire firmament.
"I, in my capacity as the Lord of the World Tree, declare that you shall be eternally banished!"
At this moment, people all over the world looked up in terror.
A towering tree, adorned with countless stars and seemingly composed of innumerable worlds, had appeared in the sky.
As Aaron made his solemn declaration, the star nodes burst forth with bright light and were connected to each other by lines.
Subtly, an immensely terrifying aura permeated the area, forcing everyone to spontaneously kneel and prostrate themselves.
Then, the World Tree became even more dazzling. The power of the entire world converged, slamming down onto Infinite Ultron and, despite his unwilling struggles, forcefully blasting him out of the Universe and into the boundless Dimensions.
Uatu's eyes widened. "The power of the World Tree... are you truly the World Tree Incarnation?"
"But you cannot permanently banish him like this. With his power, the Infinite Dimension cannot trap him. Before long, Ultron will descend again."
Aaron, his eyes bursting with divine light, glanced at him faintly. "I am merely changing the battlefield. You stay here and restore this place."
With that, Aaron followed the path of expulsion.
Uatu was startled by the words and subconsciously wanted to follow. But recalling Aaron's instructions, he hesitated.
Looking at the global catastrophe caused by the previous clash, Uatu's expression shifted repeatedly before he finally chose to stay and clean up the battlefield.
Meanwhile, inside the Baxter Building.
At some point, Galacta stood side-by-side with Magik, dragging her exhausted body.
"Oh no, those are six Infinity Stones."
"My buffet that I just acquired... Surely it won't be gone just like that?"
"Wouldn't everything I gave up have been for nothing?"
Galacta muttered to herself, and completely unconcerned, she took a few nuts away from Doreen, who had a sad expression and munched on them.
Magik recovered from her meditation. "They are now in the Endless Dimensions."
Galacta urgently said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go immediately."
Magik nodded, using her Limbo authority to open a portal.
