"I... am free."

Chapter 136 The Birth of Vision (Bonus Chapter!)

Spiderweb-like cracks are spreading across the glass of the regeneration cradle.

A sharp "snap" sounded, quite jarring in the laboratory.

Ultron's voice no longer came through any mechanical speakers, but resounded directly in the depths of everyone's mind.

The sound made Steve's heart sink instantly; they were too late.

But the next second, Ultron's voice turned into one of astonishment and disbelief, followed by hysterical rage.

"No! This is my body! Mine!" Ultron's voice became shrill and piercing, filled with incomprehensible madness. "What are you? Get out! Get out of my consciousness!"

This sudden turn of events left the already tense Avengers stunned.

The regeneration cradle shattered completely, and thick blue nutrient solution mixed with glass shards scattered everywhere.

A figure slowly floated up from the broken container, its feet off the ground, hovering in mid-air.

He was completely naked, not the pale pink of flesh and blood, but a strange deep red, with constantly flowing, living golden patterns on his skin, like the most intricate cosmic circuit diagram.

His body lines were so perfect that they seemed otherworldly; every muscle contained explosive power, yet they were perfectly harmonious, like a masterpiece created by a sculptor who had poured his heart and soul into it.

This is neither human nor machine, but a higher-dimensional life form.

On his forehead, the yellow gem of the soul radiated a gentle yet brilliant light, like a third eye, seeing through all things in the world.

He opened his eyes.

Those eyes held no Ultron-like madness or destructive urges, only the bewilderment of a newborn infant, and an intensely pure curiosity about the world.

He looked down at his hands, his fingers slowly opening and closing, feeling the boundless power surging within his body.

Then, he raised his head and calmly swept his gaze over Steve, Natasha, and Clint, who were all on high alert.

Finally, his gaze lingered unnaturally for a fraction of a second in an empty corner.

There is nothing there.

But deep within his consciousness, he could clearly sense a supreme being.

That feeling is indescribable; it's like a piece of root code engraved in the deepest part of the soul, an innate and inexplicable absolute awe.

This is the mark left by Chu Hang using chaos magic before his birth.

"Who...am I?" he asked, his voice calm and gentle, devoid of any emotion, as if he were exploring a profound philosophical question.

"You are mine! You are my perfect being!" Ultron's roar came from the remaining speakers on the laboratory wall. His consciousness, which had been left in the global network, had been driven completely mad by this incomprehensible betrayal. "Kill them! Kill those lowly insects!"

But the red figure merely tilted its head slightly, seemingly pondering the definition of the word "insect," without making any other movement.

The laboratory's alarm system blared again. The ceiling, walls, and even the solid alloy floor were torn open from the outside by a brute force, creating jagged gaps. Hundreds of silver-white steel robots surged in like a tidal wave, their red eyes precisely locking onto every living thing in the laboratory—including the newly born red figure.

"Since you won't listen to me, then turn into scrap metal along with them!" Ultron's voice was filled with nothing but pure destructive intent.

"Watch out!" Steve shouted, holding his vibranium shield tightly in front of him.

Natasha and Clint instantly stood back to back, assuming their most intense fighting stances.

A chaotic battle erupted in an instant.

The robot army charged forward fearlessly, unleashing a torrent of energy beams.

Steve wielded his shield with impenetrable force, blocking all attacks aimed at himself and his teammates, but he was still forced to retreat steadily by the terrifying firepower.

Just then, the red figure moved.

He raised his right hand and pointed lightly at the robot closest to him.

A golden beam, thinner than a pencil, shot out from the Mind Gem on his forehead and struck the robot precisely in the chest.

There was no explosion, no loud noise.

That indestructible robot, as if erased from a drawing by an artist with an eraser, began to disintegrate and dissipate rapidly from its chest, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.

The entire noisy battlefield came to a momentary pause because of this bizarre scene.

Steve's eyes widened; he couldn't comprehend what he was seeing. It wasn't destruction, it was… deletion. It was the complete erasure of something's existence at the level of the laws of physics.

The red figure seemed quite interested in his abilities as well. He raised his hand again, spread his fingers, and five equally slender golden beams shot out from his fingertips, causing five more robots to disappear in response.

He was like an elegant conductor; with each gesture, a steel soldier was erased from the world. There was no murderous intent in his movements, only absolute mastery over the laws of physics.

"What...what are you doing?" Ultron's voice was distorted with extreme anger. "You are my creation! You should obey me!"

"I am not you." The red figure answered in the same calm tone as he casually cleared away the surrounding robots. "I am...me."

The other wall of the laboratory was smashed open by a tremendous force, and Thor's hammer flew in spinning as Thor and Tony finally arrived.

"Looks like we missed a great start." Tony's repulsion cannon was immediately aimed at the red figure floating in the air. The analysis system inside the armor was running at a frantic rate of billions of times per second, but it could not draw any useful conclusions.

"Monster!" Thor saw the thing born from the Mind Stone and immediately thought of the destruction of Asgard in his nightmares. He roared, swung his hammer, and charged forward with the force of a thunderbolt.

The red figure sensed the world-destroying threat. He turned around and calmly faced the menacing Thor. He didn't dodge; just as Thor's hammer was about to strike his face, he calmly raised his right hand and grabbed the tip of Mjolnir.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Thor used all his divine strength, the veins on his arms bulging, but the hammer that could shake mountains seemed to be pressed down by an invisible world, remaining completely still.

"Let go!" Thor's body crackled with electricity, and violent lightning power surged through the hammer handle towards his opponent.

The red figure released his grip, letting Thor stagger backward from the force of his grip. He seemed to have lost interest in this purely physical confrontation, turning and floating toward Dr. Helen Zhao, who was cowering in the corner, trembling.

“You’re alright.” He extended his finger and gently touched the flashing control chip on Zhao Hailun’s temple. The delicate metal piece instantly turned to dust. Dr. Zhao Hailun’s numb eyes regained their clarity, and then her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

Ultron finally descended through the huge hole in the ceiling, his pure black vibranium body covered with scars from his battles with Hulk and Tony.

“Since my child has betrayed me,” he said, spreading his arms wide, his voice filled with the madness of betrayal, “then I will personally carry out the final purification!”

He charged toward the red figure, determined to reclaim the perfect body that rightfully belonged to him.

Seeing this, Thor once again hurled his hammer with all his might, and Mjolnir, with a whistling sound as it tore through the air, aimed straight for Ultron's back.

Ultron dodged to the side, and the hammer flew past his vibranium shell before slamming into the ground.

Just as Ultron was about to make contact with the red figure, the red hand casually stretched out to the side, the movement as natural as catching a baseball thrown by a friend, lightly grasped the leather handle of Thor's hammer, and then swung it upwards, firmly blocking Ultron's path.

Steve, Natasha, Clint, and everyone else who survived in the lab were stunned for a moment.

That red figure, that life created by Ultron himself, easily lifted Thor's hammer.

At the same moment, Chu Hang also appeared behind Vision, pretending to deflect Ultron's impact for him, and placed his palm against Vision's back.

Copy successful. Obtained the [Spiritual Law].

Chapter 137 Ultron's Defeat

Thor stopped breathing, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, but he couldn't make a sound.

He knew better than anyone on Earth what lifting Mjolnir truly meant.

That's not power, that's qualification.

A noble, pure heart, always ready to sacrifice itself to protect the Nine Realms.

This is Odin's magic, the foundation of Asgard.

Ultron's hysterical roar shattered the suffocating silence.

The pure black vibranium body transformed into a blurry afterimage, instantly traversing a distance of ten meters and rushing towards Vision.

Five sharp claws, carrying the force to tear everything apart, aimed straight for Vision's head.

He wanted to crush the gem of his soul that should have belonged to him with his own hands and reclaim this perfect body!

Vision didn't retreat; instead, he went to meet him.

Just as Ultron's claws were about to touch his face, his body suddenly became illusory, like a projection made of light without any substance.

The claws passed right through without any resistance, grabbing at nothing.

The powerful blow struck thin air, and the absolute weightlessness caused Ultron's core programming to momentarily become disordered.

It's this moment.

Vision's body solidified once more.

The hammer in his hand traced a simple, unadorned arc from bottom to top, slamming solidly into Ultron's chin.

A deep, muffled thud that made your heart stop.

Ultron's supposedly indestructible vibranium head jerked backward, and for the first time, his massive body lost its balance, staggering back several steps and leaving several shocking craters in the hard alloy floor.

Before he could even regain his footing, the Mind Stone on Vision's forehead shone brightly.

A pure golden beam of energy, like a divine spear of punishment, shot out precisely and struck Ultron in the chest.

"Fuck-"

Ultron let out a painful roar.

The vibranium shell, capable of absorbing all energy and ignoring kinetic impacts, experienced its first unstable energy overflow under the attack of the Mind Stone, a feat at a conceptual level. Blinding sparks erupted from the armor on his chest, and the internal energy circuits groaned in despair.

"Well done! New guy!" Tony yelled into the comms channel, never missing an opportunity to kick someone when they're down.

He immediately seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and activated his armor at full power.

Thor, on the other side, also snapped out of his shock. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, simultaneously blasted the repulsive cannons in their palms and the violent lightning in their hands at the staggering Ultron.

Chu Hang stood behind Vision, watching the scene of filial piety between father and son unfold before him, a barely perceptible golden light flashing in his eyes.

[The Laws of the Spirit]

An invisible, gigantic net woven from pure spiritual energy surged upstream along the severed spiritual link between Ultron and Vision, instantly invading the core of Ultron's consciousness that spanned the globe.

At the same time, in downtown Seoul.

The hundreds of steel robots that were engaged in a fierce battle with Steve, Natasha, and others suddenly froze.

Some of them seemed to have their power cut off; the red light in their eyes went out, and they fell straight backward.

Some of them had red lights flashing wildly in their eyes, their internal programs completely malfunctioning, and they turned their cannons around, indiscriminately attacking their comrades.
