Chapter 1867: The Witch Switches Sides? Grab and Run
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
An ambush was impossible.
The Avengers fell from the sky like dumplings. If Ultron hadn’t already caught sight of them on thousands of cameras, that would be an insult to Tony’s tech.
A group of low-grade robots poured out of the research inst.i.tute next to the river and attacked the Avengers.
Unfortunately for Ultron, the raw materials that it had stolen in the last few days were of ordinary quality.
In order to quietly complete the creation of its body, it couldn’t send out hundreds or thousands of robots.
!!
With a series of bangs, the low-grade robots were blown up. The Avengers sped up and charged into the building.
Luke and the other two, who had activated the highest level of stealth mode, lay low first.
While the two parties fought fiercely outside, Luke took the lead as the trio snuck into the building.
Suddenly, he heard two people talking dozens of meters away.
A young woman said in disbelief, “How can you…”
A low mechanical voice replied, “What?”
Luke, who had watched videos of Tony’s last two fights, immediately recognized that the mechanical voice belonged to Ultron.
The female voice belonged to the young witch who had trapped the entire Avengers team in hallucinations. Her full name was Wanda Django Maximoff
At that moment, Wanda asked doubtfully, “You said we’re going to destroy the Avengers and create a better world?”
Ultron: “Of course. It’ll be a much better world.”
Wanda asked, “To the point that everybody dies?”
Ultraman said, “The human race will still get the opportunity to change themselves.”
Wanda asked, “What if they don’t?”
Ultron said, “Ash Noah.”
Wanda’s eyes widened. “You madman…”
Ultron said sincerely, “There have already been dozens of ma.s.s extinctions on Earth. G.o.d doesn’t sympathize with the weak. Each time Earth settles, he throws a stone at it. We have to evolve.”
Wanda asked, “Who decides who’s strong and who’s weak?”
Ultron said casually, “Life will tell us the outcome. Hm, alright, the Avengers are coming. You can get your revenge. I’ll get the army of robots to cooperate. How long until the upload is done?”
This last sentence was clearly directed at someone else.
Another woman immediately replied, “Soon. Five minutes at most.”
The voice was a match to Helen Cho. Clearly, the beautiful doctor was also there.
Luke, who listened to the conversation, had a strange expression on his face.
When Ultron said, “Ask Noah,” and Wanda cursed, “You madman,” there had been an abnormal fluctuation in the witch’s mind, which caused a minor explosion.
In gaming terms, the witch had released a small ‘mental ability.’
The person who was affected by the fluctuation was Dr. Helen Cho.
So… had they reached the defining moment in the story?
Was this the cla.s.sic plot of a lost lamb repenting and switching sides? As the thoughts raced through Luke’s mind, the three-second countdown he had given Selina was about to end.
In the blink of an eye, the two clones and Selina took their places.
At that moment, Big Dipper was outside the door, and Knight and Selina were in the rooms on both sides.
This lab wasn’t a top secret base; the walls were just made of standard concrete, which wouldn’t interfere with their attack.
At that moment, Ultron suddenly exclaimed in surprise. It glared at Helen Cho and then turned to look at Wanda. “I thought we were comrades. Why are you doing this?”
As it spoke, it raised its left arm, and its palm cannon glowed orange as it aimed at Helen Cho.
At that moment, Helen Cho’s hand was still on the control panel of the Regeneration Cradle, and a warning flashed on it.
She looked at the pulse cannon in horror.
A loud and melodious bell suddenly rang out in the hallway outside, and a man’s voice chanted, “The supreme edict, supreme lonely souls, all ghosts and charms, four lives with grace…”
Stumped for a moment, Ultron instantly found relevant information in its database. “Death Knell Big Dipper?”
Boom! Boom!
Two almost completely overlapping collisions rang out, and two transparent shadows lunged out of the dust in perfect unison with Big Dipper, who charged at Ultron from the door.
Sparks burst out on Ultron’s tall metal body as a black-and-white figure spun around it. The immense force of the two blades made the heavy metal body lose its balance.
Even so, the pulse cannon in Ultron’s left palm was fully charged, and it fired at Helen Cho.
Before the beautiful doctor could react, she saw the orange light of the pulse cannon explode in front of her, while a black figure swiftly revealed itself.
Then, the scene in front of her flashed past as she was lifted up.
Carried like a princess, she looked up into a clear blue sky several seconds later, and a – cabin door? – suddenly opened in the air.
She was then put down in a chair on the side, and her seatbelt was automatically buckled.
The beautiful doctor finally saw who it was that had been carrying her earlier.
Wearing pure black armor and a pair of lenses that flickered blue and white, the man walked to the pilot’s seat and said in pa.s.sing, “Dr. Cho, don’t panic. I’m the Dark Knight. You can leave your personal safety to me.”
Helen Cho was dumbfounded. She was both surprised and puzzled. Why did it sound like… he was here especially to protect her?
If Luke knew what she was thinking, he would have given her a thumbs up.
This female doctor was a certified talent! Following this Ultron incident, her value had skyrocketed as a genius of the highest level.
A bad guy? That was impossible. In the system, this female doctor was still a neutral yellow.
Ultron had caused a lot of casualties in the last few days.
If Helen Cho had wanted to help Ultron do something bad, she would be light red in the system.
Luke had launched the surprise attack precisely to rescue this top genius.
Reality wasn’t a movie; no director would let a beautiful character keep her beautiful appearance.
If Ultraman’s shot didn’t blow up her head, it would be too wasteful a scene.
Luke and the other two had achieved their goal of rescuing Helen Cho.
Without needing to worry about the beautiful doctor, who was as weak as a chicken, Big Dipper and Selina immediately besieged Ultron.
Big Dipper fought Ultron head-on.
Two silver blades whistled continuously as they tore through the air. They slashed at Ultron’s metal body, but couldn’t break through its outer armor.
Selina’s robot hovered behind it, her heavy fists and claws trying to disrupt its movements.
Too strong! In just a few seconds, the same thought popped into their heads: This Ultron was really too strong.
