Chapter 1879 - Surprise! Power Cut

A minute later, Vision suddenly let go.

Ultron, who had already turned into a ‘log,’ said angrily, “You kicked me out?”

Looking down at its torso, it murmured, “You stole my vision and destroyed my body?”

Tony shrugged. “Sorry, but they weren’t yours in any sense.”

If what was stolen was mine and I’ve stolen it back, it naturally belongs to me, the tycoon added inwardly.

Ultron’s eyes flickered, and it suddenly laughed. “Hehehehe, you think I care?”

Tony immediately got a bad feeling. “Oh, then what do you care about?”

Ultron continued smiling. “You took my world, I’ll take yours.”

As it spoke, it activated the anti-gravity system.

The ground shook, and a silver metal cylinder 40 centimeters in diameter rose two meters out of the ground.

Then, the outer shell unfolded like three petals, to reveal a short triangular pillar inside.

Crack!

The pillar spun and started humming, as if it had connected to some power line.

There was a faint rumble under the ground, which became more and more obvious.

Everybody felt their bodies grow heavy.

There was a loud rumble in all directions.

Tony suddenly flew up high and looked around.

Under the morning sun, a crack appeared on the edge of the city and continued to get bigger.

Friday quickly calculated that the ground was splitting apart in the shape of a circle with the church at the center.

The ground inside the circle was rising up at a visible speed.

Inside the church, Ultron and the robots fighting the Avengers, the Bat Squad and the New SHIELD agents all said in unison, “You are about to witness the most beautiful scene.

“It’s inevitable.” Ultron’s deep mechanical voice was enigmatic. “You rise, only to fall, like that resplendent meteor which brings ruin… and rebirth.”

It stared at the enemies in front of it with the red eyes of a robot. “Avengers, Bat Squad, you are my meteor and my sharpest sword.

“When you fall, the Earth will crumble

“Purging me from the Internet and stealing my vision to fight me is meaningless.

“When the dust settles, the only thing that will remain in this world…

“Is me!”

“Friday, give me a lead.” Tony looked down, and the virtual screen inside his helmet immediately mapped out lines on the ground.

Friday: “That pillar has vibranium mixed into it. It extends all the way underground and has created a strong magnetic field, which is what’s keeping the rock together. Sokovia’s going for a ride!”

Tony sighed. “…Bruce, do you have a surprise for us?”

Bruce hadn’t made an appearance at all, but the tycoon didn’t think he had left them to fend for themselves.

In the Battle of New York, this guy had been the first to grab the scepter and then the nuclear missile, and all at the crucial moment.

“Hm, wait.”

Knight: “Surprise!”

Boom!

The entire ground shook, and it suddenly stopped after rising up a meter or so.

The robots controlled by Ultron all turned to look at the church at the same time.

At the church, Ultron looked down at the ground. “Huh? How is that possible?”

Boom! The ground shook again.

Boom! The entire circular area fell back into place.

There was disbelief in Ultron’s eyes. “That’s impossible! How did you destroy the energy transmission?”

This was an anti-gravity device made from a lot of vibranium.

Then, Ultron gritted its teeth and said a name. “Dark Knight!”

In a huge cavern hundreds of meters underground, the Dark Knight clone had just blown up two robots.

Then, a series of Bat darts flew out to cut up the dozens of robots that were swarming over.

The blue and white eyes on the helmet stared at a robot that still had an intact upper torso, and Dark Knight chuckled. “We meet again. Hm, hopefully never again.”

As he spoke, he suddenly stomped down hard and crushed the robot’s core.

After swiftly taking care of the robot guards, he flew back up to the colossal entity above his head.

It had hundreds of huge circular gears and layers of vibranium rods embedded in the core. The bluish-white light of an arc reactor was everywhere.

This was the apocalyptic ‘meteor,’ or that ‘sword’ of destruction or whatever, created by Ultron.

Using the powerful energy of the arc reactor and the vibranium’s special properties, a massive expanse of ground was dug up and lifted into the sky.

Because of the vibranium’s properties, it could absorb power and kinetic energy, which further sped up the ascension.

At a certain height, the system would instantly restore gravity, and the huge ‘meteor” would’ fall hard.

Just like the dinosaurs that once roamed the Earth, mankind would disappear when the environment abruptly changed.

This plan was very formidable and economical. It was much more reliable than seizing control of nuclear weapons or whatever.

At the very least, even if there were hundreds of nuclear weapons on Earth, that just meant fewer places suitable for human habitation.

With a tech whiz cheat like Tony, it was unlikely that humans would go extinct.

Only a ‘meteor’ attack like this would be able to destroy all aspects of human society in the shortest time possible.

Without the support of an industrial system, it would be hard for Tony to fight Ultron.

Unfortunately, Ultron had encountered another cheat player.

Luke didn’t attack the anti-gravity system.

Although he had done a lot of research on vibranium in the last few years, the thing Ultron had created wasn’t easy to crack.

If Luke didn’t get it right, the ground would rise even more quickly, and hundreds more people could die.

They were all experience and credit points.

Also, if the disaster Ultron created was nipped in the bud too soon, the fact that the Avengers and the Bat Squad had fought a battle here would be a very troublesome diplomatic matter.

The Bat Squad wouldn’t be under much pressure, but the Avengers would definitely be snowed under.

Thus, Luke acted only after the ground started to rise.

This still wouldn’t be able to prove that Ultron could destroy all of mankind, but it would prove that it was possible, and that it was enough to kill hundreds of thousands of people in Sokovia.

With justice on their side, the problem the Avengers had been facing before could be suppressed.

The moment Tony spoke, the clone finally took action.

Luke, who had snuck up on the anti-gravity system, had already locked onto a target with his inventory. He put the components responsible for energy transmission into his inventory, hence cutting the power.

The anti-gravity system that had just been activated simply shut down and the ground fell back down.

Cheating was always that simple.

No matter how Ultron thought about it, it couldn’t understand how the energy transmission components had been ‘lost.’
