Chapter 846 Waiting for Christmas
Back at the Avengers base, with all the Avengers present, Peter and Pym explained Evangelion Ultron's plan to everyone and presented the logical chain that made Evangelion Ultron unbeatable: as long as S.O.R.D. Ultron was alive, Evangelion Ultron's plan was not complete, and an Ultron whose plan was not completed could not be defeated.
Because he has no intention of "protecting all of humanity" right now, he could easily use logic to circumvent the Avengers' attack on a plan that is not yet fully formed.
After all, you can't attack something that doesn't exist.
"If we do nothing and don't try to defeat that Kree version of Ultron, the other side will definitely take the initiative to carry out its plan. If we take the initiative to attack, then that bastard will evolve and become stuck in two directions."
Tony explained the current situation with a sigh, but Peter shook his head after a moment's thought: "No, I can guarantee it. Even if we don't deal with Ultron, Evangelion will take care of him. The previous Ultrons might not have realized the logic of Ultron opposing Ultron, but now they have, and the Ultrons will probably attack each other."
At this point, everyone looked at Avenger Ultron, who responded rather coldly: "Based on the current situation, if we engage in a procedural battle, my success rate is 100%. At best, I can only buy you a few hours."
"Okay, now we all know that Ultron has many unique skills, and apart from the one in our family, he can't help us at all."
Avenger Ultron looked at Tony.
"My primary job is to defend against cyberattacks from other Ultrons, Mr. Stark. Since the moment you raised that question, I have already prevented 3.71 million cyberattacks from the other two Ultrons."
"—Okay, it just doesn't seem to be of much use."
Tony shook his head, then sighed: "But how do we know when that guy will make his move?"
It could take months, it could start today. We can't let him drag this out like this, can we?
Peter spoke up at this point.
"Actually, I might know."
Today is December 13, 2013. Based on the nature of the Gospel of Ultron, we can know when he intends to implement his plan. It will definitely be on Christmas Day. Only on that day can it be in line with his consistent behavior and image, allowing him to mold himself into the image of another god.
Or to put it more bluntly, the Gospel of Ultron was preparing to ascend to godhood, or at least to become a god in a formal sense, on Christmas, a holiday of great religious significance.
Tony rubbed his temples, finding Peter's judgment unbelievable. After a long silence, he looked at Pym and asked, "Is Ultron out of his mind?"
"—I roughly understand what you mean, but as for this answer, no."
Pym then asked Tony, "Do you have any way to stop this Gospel Ultron, Tony, if our Ultron can only buy us a few hours?"
"Okay, okay, let me think—it's still the same plan. If Ultron really launches a full-scale attack, then we have a reason to disrupt the world's network for a short period of time. Before that, we can concentrate Ultron's network in one place and then do this. And the device that can do this—to be honest, if Ultron can hack into the network at will, then the device that can do this must be manually operated."
Tony added, "And it must be operated in outer space, which means we'll need S.W.A.R.D.'s ships; they're the most essential equipment."
"Ultron will definitely think of this too, so that's bound to be the focus of our battle." The captain then asked, "Are there any other backup plans? What if the Sky Sword Bureau falls? There's an Ultron there right now."
"Secondly, it depends on people. Thor and Magneto can both do this, provided they are taught how to use their powers. Thor shouldn't have any problems. Bro, you can definitely cripple the global network with one blow. Magneto shouldn't have any problem either."
Tony continued rubbing his temples: "So all we need to do is protect S.W.O.R.D., or protect Thor and Magneto. Of course, Ultron definitely knows that. But how is Ultron going to deal with Thor?"
"Mortal technology has no effect on me, Stark, you can rest assured about that."
Thor laughed heartily, completely unconcerned about Ultron's threat. So far, he had only faced three opponents capable of killing him: the Destroyer when he was stripped of his divine power, Kang who possessed the Cosmic Cube, and Mangog, who was evenly matched with his father.
Apart from that, he really didn't think anyone was a worthy enemy.
Tony waved his hand, thinking: Look, we have our ace up here, no need to worry.
Pym hesitated, wanting to speak but then stopping himself. He had a plan, a plan with Ultron, but if they really wanted to get it done by Christmas, there simply wouldn't be enough time. However, if they planned to use a backup plan—
Pym took a deep breath, glanced at the captain one last time, but said nothing. The captain, meanwhile, was still there assigning tasks.
"Alright, Tony, you take Banner and Pym, and preferably get some other scientists involved to work out alternative plans. We need plenty of insurance. Ultron, could you analyze the blueprints for those neural transmission devices Spider-Man brought back? Analyze them and help us pinpoint the possible installation locations. This is extremely important. Bumblebee, you contact all the hero organizations and national agencies. This time, we need a global effort to deal with Ultron."
After the captain finished speaking, he looked at everyone and nodded: "It's settled then."
Everyone then went about their own business. Black Panther returned to Wakanda to mobilize the team, Peter went to find the Fantastic Four, Tony and Banner immediately prepared to head to the lab, and Thor followed Captain America. Janet stayed behind, watching Pym standing to the side.
"Hank, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Jane. I just—looking at Ultron's current state, it's all my fault. Maybe I shouldn't have believed Kang in the first place—" Pym shook his head. "Go ahead and do your work. I need to think of a way to stop Ultron."
Pym left Janet behind and quickly caught up with Tony and Banner, who were discussing other possible solutions. He then told them his plan directly.
"I have a way to offer a new solution, Tony, but the captain won't agree to it."
