Chapter 387 Ant-Man: I Have a Life
Tony has done these kinds of things with many people in his life, that's true, but doing them with a robot is still a bit beyond his worldview.
Just as Tony was completely numb, Friday, who was hugging and touching him, suddenly felt a slight electric spark on his body.
After a series of metallic ripples, the Irish redhead girl immediately shed her disguise and transformed back into a female version of Ultron.
Friday, whose transformation had failed, froze for a moment, forced to release Tony from her grasp, and began to scream angrily, "Ant-Man!!!"
But even before her scream came a maverick Ultron drone—Dr. Hank Pym, Ant-Man, leaped from the giant Ultron's fuselage and shoved Tony back into his Iron Man suit: "Run!"
With Ant-Man's help, Tony restarted the Iron Man suit and immediately set it on fire, heading in the opposite direction from Friday, the same direction Ant-Man had fled.
Friday behind her is still unable to move, but the fact that her physical body cannot move does not mean that she cannot act within the "Ultron Network" or "Friday Network".
Friday was furious that Ant-Man had ruined his plans with his boss: "I should have killed you the moment I gained control of the network!"
Even faster than Friday's voice came Ant-Man, who had already severed his connection with the swarm network with a single thought. Ant-Man groaned, and his body also burst into dazzling sparks. He was flying in front of Stark and immediately fell headfirst downwards.
Tony slammed to a stop, effortlessly scooped the disabled Ant-Man up from mid-air, and continued running: "Got you!"
"I never imagined that she could leave a backdoor in my system without my knowledge."
That attack also rendered most of Ant-Man's body unusable, even making it difficult for him to speak: "Put me down and run! You only have thirty seconds, or even less."
Seeing Ant-Man's entire body revealing a mechanical skeleton, Tony had a certain guess about where the bizarre events were coming from: "You'd better explain to me what's going on first!"
Ant-Man pointed to his face, which was now entirely made of machinery, and said with a wry smile, "There's nothing to explain. It's just another repeat of the same mistake."
Why was Friday loaded into Ultron's hardware? This story begins after the 30 battle between Superman and Ultron.
"You found Friday's wreckage?" Tony heard a hissing sound of metal scraping behind him and immediately started overloading the reactor, unleashing an even more powerful thrust.
He's now kicking himself: "If I'd known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have designed an indestructible black box specifically for Friday!"
The "black box" generally refers to the flight data recorder on an aircraft. It is resistant to high temperature, high pressure and high explosion and can be preserved intact after an aircraft crash to restore the whole picture of the accident.
When Tony arranged the inter-universe teleportation device for Joey, he also did something similar to the built-in AI Friday.
Everyone has always believed that Friday was destroyed in the cataclysmic battle between Superman and Ultron 30K, even Tony Stark believed so.
However, while the intensity of the Red Sun fusion explosion was indeed enough to pulverize the Kryptonian body in the primitive environment, it failed to completely destroy Friday, which was loaded onto Joey at the time.
After Superman left, Ant-Man, who travels between the two Earths, found the black box.
As a typical example of someone who never learns from mistakes, Ant-Man, faced with the devastation of both Earths, suddenly felt a sense of hope.
The Ultron he handled had completely failed because of his arrogance and pride. So what if we tried another AI handled by Tony Stark?
He succeeded, but he also failed.
The newly launched Friday doesn't have the same initial thought of destroying all of humanity as Ultron, but it also doesn't serve the future of humanity.
Because of the original setting that Tony, the narcissist, wrote into the underlying framework, Friday's first major goal after gaining independent thinking and evolution was to obtain and possess his boss, Tony Stark.
"Are you sick?!"
Although he had some suspicions, Tony, who had inexplicably gained a fanatical robot enthusiast, was still shocked by Ant-Man's extraordinary wisdom when he heard it from his own mouth.
That robot had just been interfering in his love life, and Tony didn't even dare to imagine what terrible things she might do if he actually gave in to her.
I fear that in the end, not to mention Tony's love life, everything about him will be in the hands of this fanatical robot.
Thinking about this, Tony's hatred for Ant-Man flared up again: "I should have just smashed you to death, you bastard!"
"It's not too late." Ant-Man had been silently counting down the seconds since he temporarily crippled Friday through a flaw in the old architecture of the Ultron Network: "Fifteen seconds until Friday is back online..."
"
Tony sprinted back the way he came, but the weight of Ant-Man's alloy body slowed him down considerably.
If this continues, he might be pulled back by the strong magnetic force before he even gets into the tunnel, just like before.
"I already told you, leave me behind and run! If you don't run, you'll just be stuck here getting fucked!"
Having already overturned two vehicles, Ant-Man no longer cared whether he was alive or not. He hurriedly urged Tony, "I don't know how you got here, but you should go back to your universe as soon as possible and think about how to deal with this fanatical machine enthusiast—or is this what you wanted all along? In that case, I can only say that you are truly Stark—"
"Shut up, you old man!"
No matter how womanizing Tony is, he wouldn't sleep with a robot, especially one he created himself: "I'd rather they just came to kill me!"
Ant-Man could tell that Friday, who had evolved to a certain level, was "very serious" about this relationship: "Stark, if you don't give in to her, there's a possibility she might kill you. Before you even arrived, she had already started researching how to clone you."
"Alright, that's enough!"
Upon hearing this, Tony got goosebumps all over. He went through movies like Terminator, The Matrix, and I, Robot in his mind, but he never imagined that a story about robots could have such a dark plot: "I might really have to abandon you!"
That's just the way things are. Either Tony abandons Ant-Man and waits to die, running away alone, or he gets dragged down by the other guy and they're both captured, one dead and one injured.
Ant-Man is going to die either way, so he might as well save himself.
"You should have given up on me a long time ago."
"Who said I was going to give you up?" Now that Ant-Man has preserved his virginity, how could Tony be so ungrateful?
Without hesitation, Tony raised the energy cannon in his hand and aimed it at Ant-Man's neck: "Close your eyes, this might hurt a little!"
"What are you trying to do—?"
"What else could it be? It's removing your black box, of course!"
With a loud bang, Ant-Man's body below the neck was severed. Tony removed the head, which contained most of the data, and took advantage of the reduced load to rush into the assembly tunnel he had come from at the last second.
"Tony Stark!"
Once inside the tunnel, Tony finally had enough cover to counteract the magnetic grip. Without stopping, he only heard a loud bang from the tunnel entrance behind him, followed by a series of rustling sounds.
The radar peered back and revealed an endless swarm of Ultron robots, like an ant colony, crawling into the assembly tunnel from the outside in, surging towards Tony like a tide.
They all uniformly repeated the same tone of voice, the very tone Tony had originally set for Friday: "Don't leave me, boss!"
Now out of control, Tony's Iron Man suit was firing at full power, destroying the tunnel behind him step by step to buy himself more time: "So many demands, who's the boss here, you or me?"
