Chapter 972: Seizing the opportunity is the key to victory. How to grab the last head

As his troops dwindled, Ultron became increasingly anxious.

He had been driven out of the network by Vision, and his most important escape route had been cut off.

If this plan fails, he will have to survive under the pursuit of the Avengers for a long time, and the difficulty of achieving peace will skyrocket.

Realizing this, Ultron could no longer bear it and rushed towards the core machine with his half-crippled body.

Although the injuries to his chest and shoulders caused some problems with his circuits, making his movements uncoordinated, he really couldn't give up on this body.

After all, it is made of vanadium alloy. Even if it is injured, it is countless times stronger than mass-produced mechanical soldiers.

More importantly, he didn't have enough vanadium alloy to build a decent body.

Ultron was stopped by Vision halfway, and the two fought hand-to-hand in mid-air. After a brief fight, Vision shot a golden ray from his forehead, knocking Ultron out of the church.

When Thor and Tony saw this, they immediately followed up to finish off the enemy. One released a blue electric current, while the other used both hands to release a powerful pulse wave.

Ultron could only rely on his body to withstand the attack, but even his body made of vanadium alloy could not withstand the combined impact of the three energies.

The extreme high temperature made Ultron's body like a red-hot iron, and some of its internal parts broke outwards uncontrollably.

After the three men stopped attacking, Ultron knelt on the ground and struggled in a panic. His body seemed to be covered with rust compared to before, and sparks flashed from time to time at his joints. He could be scrapped at any time.

"You know what? Judging from the current situation..."

boom!

Before he could finish his words, a big green hand slapped Ultron away.

Hulk turned around as if nothing had happened and roared at the dozen or so mechanical soldiers behind him.

They seemed to know that the situation was hopeless and fled to the edge of Sokovia.

"They want to escape the city," said Saul.

"We can't let them go, not even one, Rod."

"Got it." Rhodes flew over immediately and saw a group of mechanical remnants jumping down from the sky.

"No, I didn't let you escape!

The war machine is coming." As Rod muttered to himself, the Gatling gun on his back spun wildly, spraying out dense rain of bullets.

The fastest flying mechanical soldiers were pierced by the bullets. Just when he wanted to expand the victory, the mechanical soldiers were blown up one by one by the golden rays shot from Ultron's forehead.

Rhode was robbed of his life and felt depressed. "What happened?"

At the same time, Aaron on the sky carrier stretched and said, "It's time to clean up the mess."

Ultron's real body should not be dead yet. Even if he can attach his consciousness to the mechanical soldiers, there will be few that can escape.

If he doesn't take action at this time, if Ultron is killed by others, his system mission will fail, and the loss will be extremely huge.

"You really picked a good time!" Nick Fury said sarcastically.

"Seizing the opportunity is the key to victory. Most people don't have this ability."

"Most people don't have such thick skin as you."

"Thank you for the compliment." Aaron shrugged nonchalantly, then took out a compass and walked towards the deck of the sky carrier.

......

"We have to evacuate. I can feel the air getting thinner." Steve said, "You guys go to the lifeboat. I'll check if there's any leaks. I'll be back soon."

"What about the core machine?" Patton asked.

"I'll protect it." Wanda pursed her lips and said, "This is my duty."

The others left one after another, and Wanda was the only one left in the church.

Pietro came over panting, and Wanda immediately said when she saw him, "Take the people to the lifeboat."

"I can't leave you here."

"I can handle it." Wanda said, and as if to prove her point, she threw a red energy bomb to disperse a mechanical soldier rushing towards her.

"Come back to see me after everyone has left. No one can be left behind. Do you understand?"

"I'm twelve minutes older than you."

"go quickly!"

......

Barton sent Natasha to Hulk's side and quickly boarded the lifeboat.

Then a mother's distressed voice fell into his ears, "Koster, we were in the market together before, Koster."

Barton paused and looked in the direction of the market. A child with blood on his head was shivering in the ruins.

He took a deep breath and ran over quickly.

At the same time, Tony used a laser to cut open the base plate under the core and saw the internal structure.

“Thor, I need you to go back to the church.

I will destroy the core when I am ready. If this succeeds, we may not survive."

"Maybe!"

"Aaron, how are your preparations going?" Tony asked with some concern.

"I'm already on the motorcycle." Aaron drove the motorcycle leisurely towards Sokovia, feeling very happy about the upcoming harvest. "If Thor can't handle it, I'll shoot him again."

"Big guy, the sun is about to set." Natasha slowly walked up to Hulk and gently stretched out her left hand.

Hulk turned his head to look at her, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and his movements became much lighter.

He also stretched out his right hand and carefully touched Natasha's fingers.

After doing this boring action, Banner was about to change back when a Quinjet opened fire wildly at the two of them.

After being knocked away, Ultron did not fall apart, but found the Quinjet that the Avengers brought to Sokovia.

His physical condition could not support him to fly, and this fighter plane gave him hope of escape, but before that he had to take revenge on the Avengers as much as possible.

Roar!

Hulk roared and protected Natasha under him.

After a round of shooting, Ultron did not stop, but hummed a song and looked for other people.

Patton was a little unlucky. Just as he carried Costel out of the mall, a dense rain of bullets swept over from the front.

He knew he couldn't dodge, so he simply held the child and turned his back to the bullet. With him as a bulletproof vest, the child had a high chance of surviving.

Patton was also lucky. Pietro saw this scene and stood in front of them at the moment the rain of bullets fell.

Da! Da! Da! Da!

When the smoke cleared, Patton, who felt no pain, opened his eyes and saw Pietro, whose body was riddled with bullet holes.

"Didn't you see him coming?" With these last joking words, Pietro fell down.

At the same time, Wanda, who was guarding in the church, suddenly felt heartbroken, as if she sensed that her last loved one had left her.

The extreme pain made her scream at the top of her lungs, and the red energy was released uncontrollably, turning the several mechanical soldiers that surrounded her into ashes in an instant.

Feeling the spread of magic power, Aaron frowned.

Just when I was wondering, I saw Pietro, who was beaten into a sieve on the ground, and I felt like billions of alpacas were galloping through my heart.

Waterfa...isn't this way of dying a bit too hasty?

Aaron rubbed his forehead and immediately drove the motorcycle down.

"How is this going?"

"Ultron, he stole the Quinjet." Barton said in a low voice.

"Is that so?" Aaron was silent for a while, and silently contacted Banner in his heart, "There is something I want you to do."

Banner, who was lying in Hulk's inner world, suddenly heard Aaron's voice and sat up immediately. "It's quite sudden. What's the matter?"

"Get Ultron off this plane.

Destroy him, but don't kill him, and don't let anyone else kill him.

Guard him and wait for my order. "Aaron said solemnly.

He suddenly thought that there was no need for him to chase after those mechanical soldiers. He just needed to guard the original body or one of the many clones. When the others were dead, Ultron would have to deposit his main consciousness in this body even if he was unwilling. In that case, he would get the last head.

"Yes, sir." Banner said.

Hulk was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand what he should do.

He grabbed Natasha, took a running start, and jumped onto the sky carrier next to Sokovia.

Hulk gently put Natasha down, turned around and jumped towards Sokovia. The moment he landed, he jumped again and headed straight for the Quinjet in the sky.

The hatch was not closed, and Hulk got in easily.

"Oh my God! For God's sake..."

Hulk obviously didn't have the patience to listen to Ultron's words, so he grabbed him and threw him out of the plane.

......

"I don't know if he can be saved." Aaron looked at Pietro's 'corpse' and hesitated for a moment.

"Can it be saved?" Patton asked with a glimmer of hope.

"The heart and brain are not damaged, so perhaps they can be saved."

"Hurry up if you can. If you delay any longer, there will be no chance of saving him."

"Well! After all, she is Wanda's only relative. If I save her, she will be very grateful to me." Aaron exhaled, and then took out a medical box with a red cross printed on it from the space ring.

"It's time to show your real skills." Aaron opened the medical box and took out the acupuncture gun. He first sealed the part of Pietro's body that was shot, putting that part of his body into a dormant state, and then used tweezers to remove the bullet from his body.

Finally he held up the acupuncture gun and stabbed it towards Pietro's heart.

Noisy!

Blue electric current flickered, Pietro's body twitched slightly, and extremely subtle breathing appeared at the tip of his nose.

"Is this possible?" Barton widened his eyes in astonishment. It was simply a medical miracle that a dead person began to breathe again.

"We've only given him half a breath. He could die at any time." Aaron said lightly, then opened a small bottle, poured out a dark golden pill from it, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

what! ! !

Pietro's eyes suddenly widened, veins popped on his face, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream.

His body convulsed violently, and after more than ten seconds he foamed at the mouth and passed out.

"He's barely hanging on to his last breath now." Aaron muttered to himself, and then threw a roll of green bandage to Barton, "Take him to the lifeboat, bandage his wound, and don't let anyone disturb him until I come back."

"Is this the end?"

“Of course not, the pill I gave him contained a small amount of toxin, which ordinary people cannot tolerate.

Send him to me for treatment, otherwise he will be a vegetable for the rest of his life, and even if he wakes up by chance, he will just be a cripple."

"Got it." Patton hurriedly picked up Pietro and took Costel onto the lifeboat.

"Next...it's time to find the protagonist." Aaron took out a compass, silently recited Ultron's location in his mind, got on his motorcycle and drove in one direction.

......

Click!

Hulk stepped on Ultron's legs, and as some parts broke, his body completely lost the ability to fly.

However, Hulk did not kill him. Instead, he rubbed his nose and sat next to Ultron.

"This is a bit abnormal." Ultron said with some confusion, "You shouldn't have this kind of temper."

"It doesn't matter." Aaron arrived on a motorcycle. "What matters is that you lost."

"It's hard to tell who will win or lose until the end." Ultron said stubbornly.

It is still unknown whether Tony Stark has the ability to prevent Sokovia from falling, but as long as one of his clones can escape, it is not considered a failure, and he will have a chance to make a comeback sooner or later.

"That's right." Aaron applauded. "If you could still freely enter and exit the network, it would take me a lot of effort to kill you. But now... it's easy. One bullet can do it."

"Then you should do it!"

"Don't worry." Aaron stood in front of Ultron holding the compass, making sure he could see the constantly shaking needle on it. "This compass can point to what people are thinking. Guess what I'm thinking about now?"

"I, the location of my clone?"

“Smart.” Aaron did not deny it, “Vision is cleaning them out. When the pointer stops shaking, it means that your clones have been completely eliminated.

When that time comes, I will personally send you off, which will be considered a sense of ceremony."

"I don't understand, Gaius." Ultron's mechanical face showed confusion, "Why do you want to help humans?"

"What a joke! Am I not a human being?"

"No, you are a descendant of gods. Your ancestors once guided this planet like gods..."

"How did you know?" Aaron asked back with a stern look.

"Artificial intelligence only knows how to think according to the designer's ideas, but I am not just artificial intelligence, I have my own curiosity." Ultron said complacently, "Endless data, plus clues in history, I can deduce some things.

Your question just now confirmed my speculation."

“Then I’ll have to send you on your way. I’ll be very troubled if Gaius’ secret is exposed.

Especially now that many people know that Gaius's bloodline has returned to this universe, they just haven't found it yet."

"I won't tell anyone."

"Really? Thank you so much then.

But it won't change my mind, and I don't think you'll have a chance to speak out."

Ultron paused, "Can you tell me why?"

"Why are you on the side of humans?" Aaron couldn't help but sneered, "You may have misunderstood something, I am not on the side of humans.

While I don't approve of your plans for biological extinction, I truly believe that the Avengers alone can stop you.

As for me...I have always been on the side of interests. Stopping Ultron from destroying the world and destroying Ultron is beneficial to me, that's all."

Ultron: ......
