Chapter 281: Chapter 281"Oh, perhaps I should add a few stones to the mix!"
Ultron's core buzzed with fervor as thoughts of the Infinity Stones reverberated through its databanks.
Reality Stone, Power Stone, Soul Stone, Time Stone, Space Stone, Mind Stone...
Ultron had amassed substantial information on the Infinity Stones. Except for the Time and Soul Stones, which had yet to appear, it had gleaned significant insights about the others.
It had even captured numerous scenes of their usage, each one revealing the immense potential and power the stones held.
What caught its eye the most were the numerous times White Knight wielded the Infinity Stones-a display that filled Ultron with both awe and envy.
If it could obtain these stones, combined with White Knight's and Messiah's Omega abilities, Ultron believed it would truly become a god, unstoppable and unmatched.
To acquire the Infinity Stones, Ultron needed to locate White Knight, who was already one of its prime targets.
As surveillance feeds from various cities streamed through its databanks, it quickly pinpointed a suspicious location.
Having set its sights on a target, Ultron immediately dispatched two sentinel robots to investigate.
In a dark, secluded alley, the night hung heavy.
Syd floated mid-air, cloaked in shadow, holding the Mind Stone in his hand as he absorbed the power of faith.

His fourth-tier divinity was steadily advancing toward the fifth tier, and it wouldn't take much longer to reach it.
As he absorbed the energy, a gust of wind suddenly disrupted the stillness from above.
Syd instinctively looked up, spotting two jet-black sentinel robots descending from the night sky.
"Sentinel robots?"
Before he could speak, an electronic voice emanated from a speaker on one of the robots. "White Knight, I knew you were hiding here!" The voice carried a note of smug satisfaction.
Syd frowned, his right hand glowing red.
With a flash of crimson light, his Chaos Magic surged forth, instantly freezing the two sentinel robots in place. They couldn't move an inch.
Sensing their impending destruction, Ultron remarked through the speakers, "Such terrifying power... but one day, it will belong to me, Ultron!"
The next moment, under the crimson glow, the robots crumpled with a series of cracking sounds, reduced to nothing but scrap.
However, even after destroying the robots, Syd's frown remained.
"Ultron?"
"How could it exist without the Mind Scepter?"
Pondering briefly, he surmised that this was likely another one of Tony Stark's creations.
The fact that Ultron could control the sentinel robots didn't surprise him. What truly troubled him were the remaining robots under military control.
Judging by the current situation, it seemed that Ultron had taken control of all of them.
Syd hovered in thought for a moment before vanishing from the alley.
Elsewhere, Ultron was in high spirits after pinpointing White Knight's location.
If it could capture White Knight, not only could it seize his Omega mutant ability, but also the four Infinity Stones he carried!
The only issue was White Knight's formidable strength...
Mulling over its options, Ultron hatched a plan.
The military might be unwilling or unable to deploy more sentinel robots to test White Knight, but Ultron had no such reservations.
This time, it prepared to send a thousand sentinel robots to confront White Knight in one decisive strike.
The sentinels' eyes lit up with yellow light, and they marched in unison toward White Knight's last known location.
However, when they arrived, they found the place empty. White Knight had long since left.
Undeterred, Ultron resumed its search for White Knight.
The night passed, and dawn broke.

Just as Syd anticipated reaching the fifth tier, an unusual sight in the distant sky caught his attention. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Against the bright morning sky, countless tiny black dots rapidly approached like an ominous tide.
Syd squinted and realized they were black sentinel robots.
They swarmed across the horizon, their numbers blotting out the distant sky.
From afar, there were easily hundreds-if not thousands of them.
This scene was not just noticed by Syd but also by the city's inhabitants, who stared in shock.
"Sentinel robots?"
"Why are there so many?"
The citizens were visibly alarmed.
Even during the military's earlier operations, they hadn't deployed this many sentinel robots. Why were so many appearing now?
"Could the military be planning something big again?"
Some began to speculate while others, both curious and apprehensive, started recording the
event on their devices.
Before long, news of the massive sentinel robot presence spread like wildfire across the
internet, sparking widespread debate.
In a secret military base, tension ran high.
"Damn it!"
The sight of their sentinel robots being deployed en masse without authorization left the
military officers livid.
"Whoever's controlling these robots-what are they planning?"
"Sending this many robots at once... are they trying to destroy the city?"
Their questions were soon answered.
Satellite footage revealed the swarm of sentinel robots converging on a single street,
completely sealing it off.
Initially confused, the officers-and soon, the public-witnessed a figure in white emerge from the encirclement, slowly rising into the air.
"White Knight?!"
"It's him!"
The revelation sent shockwaves through the military and the masses alike.
While the military harbored apprehension, the public was abuzz with excitement, speculating
that another monumental event was about to unfold.
Hovering mid-air, Syd surveyed the thousand sentinel robots encircling him.
As time passed, more eyes turned to the scene-Xavier's School, the Brotherhood of Mutants, Stark Tower, S.H.I.E.L.D., and even Asgard.
In Asgard, Thor watched the unfolding chaos with growing unease. Even with his unwavering faith in his brother, the sight of a thousand sentinel robots gave him pause.
