Karl gripped the handle tightly and looked at Thor, smiling.
"If I lift it… will you be upset?"
Hearing this, Thor laughed and feigned indifference."Upset? Not at all."
"Come on, Karl.""We want to see you lift it.""Don't lose heart."
…
Encouraged by the crowd, Karl floated into the air, swinging his right hand with power.
"Oh~"
"Hahaha! Look at Thor's face!"
"Hahaha!!"
Thor stared at Karl in disbelief, ignoring everyone else around him.
Everyone watched as Karl casually lifted Mjolnir and even tossed it lightly into the air twice, his expression completely relaxed.
Thor's jaw dropped. How could someone be worthy of this?
"Click! Karl…"
"Qualified."
All eyes turned toward the source of the sound.
A damaged machine had been pulled out. Its body was battered, no part intact—it looked almost like a zombie.
"No… what right do you have? You are murderers!" The robot's voice resembled Tony's.
Everyone frowned. Tony tried calling JARVIS, but there was no response.
Thor, already annoyed, asked, "Who sent you?"
"I will armor the world," the robot said, playing a recorded message.
Bruce Banner looked at Tony."Ultron?"
"Exactly. No… not yet." The robot trembled, unable to even stand steadily.
Ultron lowered his head, inspecting his broken body."It's not fully formed… but I'm ready to carry out my mission."
"What mission?" Natasha asked.
"Our peace…"
BANG!!
A wall shattered as two robots flew out.
Ding! Ding!
The two robots immediately turned into scrap metal and collapsed.
The previously tense crowd relaxed—they remembered Karl. With him here, nothing was a problem.
Karl smiled as he scanned the room.
"Karl-El, you don't understand. Humans are a virus. They must be eradicated."
Ultron continued, turning to someone else: "But sooner or later, you will understand."
"Trash!"
Karl fired a beam that instantly melted the damaged robots into molten metal.
Pym Technologies
Ultron had directly breached the defenses of Pym Technologies.
Information about Pym Particles was found throughout all of the company's systems.
Far away, at the Izra Base in Italy, the facility had already been occupied and had no power.
But suddenly, the lights flickered on, and robotic arms began assembling machinery on the ground in the scrapyard.
Two figures appeared at incredible speed.
Quicksilver put down Wanda and looked at the machines being assembled before them.
"This is what you were talking about earlier?" he asked his sister.
"Will it work?"
Wanda replied, "We have to try. This is our chance."
The two stopped talking, leaving only the hum of machinery in the space.
Before long, a towering mech, over two meters tall, stood in the open space.
"My body is still too weak," the machine said, inspecting itself with dissatisfaction.
"I need your cooperation," it said, looking at Quicksilver and Wanda.
"Of course, we're ready," they replied.
"Now I need special materials to upgrade my body," Ultron said."We must accelerate the process."
"That person is heading to South Africa."
On the top floor, the Avengers were present, along with Karl and Di Wan.
Three days later, everyone learned that Ultron had revived online and could not be killed.
Karl had been listening carefully to Ultron's movements in the real world.
"Is there something in South Africa he wants?"
Tony frowned, trying to extract clues from the information.
He seemed deep in thought, typing rapidly on his keyboard.
"Did you delete it?" Tony looked up at the others."You're all busy. I still have things to handle… maybe I can help."
After saying that, he left. With Karl monitoring Ultron in real time, Tony staying here was unnecessary.
He needed to return to his workshop where no one would disturb him.
Everyone watched Tony leave, while Thor and Steve frowned even more.
Two days ago, they had nearly fought over Ultron.
What they didn't know was that Tony and Banner had been researching the Mind Scepter, inadvertently creating an enemy that now could not be killed.
If Karl hadn't intervened, Ultron might have actually rebelled.
"You need to take care of that Ultron first."
Di Wan was angry too. What should have been a fantastic party had turned into a tense negotiation between her and Karl.
"Not yet," Banner explained."This is only one of his bodies. Even if destroyed, he can simply rebuild another."
Banner admitted that he was one of Ultron's creators and knew the situation better than anyone present.
Natasha said, "Tony might already have a solution. Once he figures it out, we can act."
Steve looked out the window."Maybe we should try stopping him ourselves first."
