Chapter 1874 - Peculiar Vision, Setting Off

“I can’t make you trust me right now, but I know that we need to take action immediately.” As he spoke, he grabbed the Mjölnir hammer on the side and handed it to Thor.

Everybody was lost for words.

Stunned, Thor looked down at his exclusive treasure, then at Vision, and blankly stretched out a hand to take the hammer.

Vision moved past him like a breeze. “Ultron is waiting for us in Sokovia.”

Thor looked at the hammer, then at Tony and Steve, who were looking at him strangely.

He forced a smile and weighed the hammer in his hand to confirm that it wasn’t a fake. “Hm, right.”

Everybody was still staring at him silently.

When Thor hurriedly walked past Tony, he patted him hard on the shoulder. He gritted his teeth. “You did a great job.”

After Thor left, everybody looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

On the day of the party, when Ultron had stolen Loki’s scepter, all the Avengers had been present, and had tried picking up the hammer, and none of them succeeded.

Only the old capsicle had been able to move it very slightly, but he couldn’t pick it up.

Now, Vision had passed it to Thor like it was like some regular hammer.

What the heck was that? Everybody was astonished and baffled.

Luke was the only one who wasn’t too surprised.

It was hard to say exactly what sort of existence Vision was.

His ‘birth’ was directly connected to the Mind Stone, and he had been charged with thunder and lightning from Thor’s Mjölnir hammer.

It wasn’t hard to believe that a ‘person’ like that could bypass the ‘rule’ that no other person could pick up the hammer.

It was Knight who raised his hand to break the silence. “Go get ready. We brought over a new batch of equipment that you can borrow for the time being. You can get it from Bastet.”

Selina: ???

She immediately sent him a private message. “What the hell? You didn’t mention this to me.”

Luke said, “I had the bigshot put it on my fighter plane when I came back.”

Selina stopped asking.

The bigshot came and went like a ghost, and there was no pattern to how he gave out things. There was no need for her to worry at all.

The so-called new equipment was mainly for Pietro and Wanda’s nanosuits.

Attack and support abilities weren’t important for the sibling; the main thing was to protect key parts of their bodies, including the head and upper torso.

When it came to self-defense, Pietro, who had been stabbed in the gut, and Wanda, who had been tasered in the head, weren’t trustworthy at all.

Natasha now had a brand new Black Widow suit, and didn’t have to wear the half-ruined one anymore.

Soon, Knight, Big Dipper, Tony, Steve and Dr. Banner gathered together.

They didn’t need to prepare much. Selina gave Steve four power banks for his guns.

“It’s unlikely that there won’t be any casualties.” Tony’s expression was solemn. “As long as even one trace of Ultron’s body is left, we’ll lose everything.”

Conversely, Steve looked relaxed. “Just nice, I don’t have any plans tomorrow. I can go all out.”

You don’t have a girlfriend anyway. At most, you would’ve just been beating up sandbags! Tony grumbled inwardly as he continued, “It’s me that Ultron wants. I’ll deal with the main body.”

Vision walked lightly past him. “That’s true. He hates you the most.”

Everybody: …

Knight murmured in a low voice, “I am now certain that ‘he’ really is a variation of Jarvis.”

Jarvis liked to stab his boss in the heart whenever he had the chance. Vision had clearly inherited this trait.

Big Dipper interjected, “He looks like a young version of your father’s butler, Jarvis, right?”

Tony nodded slowly with a complicated expression. “Yeah.”

Everybody was silent for a moment before they dismissed the awkward topic.

Yes, Luke had said that on purpose.

Tony had caused a lot of trouble with Ultron. It was better to leave a deep impression on him while the matter had yet to be resolved.

Otherwise, Luke might not have had the time to give Tony a warning after everything was over.

…

A moment later, the base reached the surface of the ocean. The protective shield opened, and Quinjets took off one by one from four runways and headed east.

The plane in the lead belonged to the Avengers, and a large number of new SHIELD agents followed behind it.

They were flying to Sokovia, which was only 2,000 kilometers from Gibraltar and which would take around 40 minutes.

As long as the Avengers’ Quinjet flew a little slower, it would be able to arrive at its destination with the large number of agents.

On the fighter plane, Steve was assigning tasks. “Tony, head to the church in the center of the city. Ultron’s base is there. You have to distract it. The best would be if you can piss it off enough to chase you and beat you up.”

Tony: “…I’ll be the one to beat it up.”

Steve said, “The rest of you have the same assignment: Take a special force team with you and do your best to evacuate the civilians in the center of Sokovia. We can’t let them stay in a zone where battle might break out. After that, surround Ultron’s robot army.”

Knight raised his hand. “The Bat Squad will use androids to help you. We have other arrangements, and won’t participate in the evacuation.”

Everybody was only slightly surprised, but then understood.

Steve simply nodded. “Got it. Be careful.”

Except for Wanda and Pietro, everybody here knew that Knight was Batman.

He had never been afraid of any enemy, and liked to surprise them.

He hadn’t appeared with the Avengers in Seoul that morning.

Instead, he led his teammates inside and snatched the perfect body, the Regeneration Cradle, and Helen Cho.

Although they didn’t know what Knight was up to this time, everybody chose to trust him.

Before six in the morning, more than ten Quinjets arrived in Sokovia.

Tony jumped out of the back door of the plane. “I’ll go find Ultron. You have to be quick.”

With that, the Mark suit turned and flew toward the center of Sokovia.

The others also jumped down and entered Sokovia from all directions.

New SHIELD’s Quinjets were split up among the Avengers.

Then, the entire city started to stir.

Wanda instilled a sense of danger in some people, and they left their homes.

Pietro dashed into the police department and repeated, “This is an emergency. Officers, please take to the streets and help maintain order.”

Police officers just about to get off work and those about to start were baffled.

When they raised their heads, most of them didn’t see Pietro.

Pietro rolled his eyes and grabbed the gun of a police officer nearby. In a flash, he appeared in the middle of the hall and pulled the trigger.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

All the police officers raised their eyebrows.

Pietro looked around. “Didn’t you hear me? It’s an emergency. Officers, go out to the streets.”

Many of the police officers cursed inwardly. Before they could react, Pietro suddenly ran out.

The police officers grabbed their guns and jackets and chased after him. They only had one thought in their minds: They had to teach this kid a lesson.
