Kevin could probably guess the source of these ten skill points.
Because if Kevin hadn't intervened, the other Avengers, like Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, and Hulk, would likely have died in this nuclear crisis.
Never mind why Thor and Hulk, two guys whose bodies are hard enough to withstand nuclear bombs, would be killed by a nuclear bomb; that's just how it played out in the what if series.
Not only that, under nuclear attack, things like the 'Ten Rings Gang,' 'Kamar Taj,' and even the Celestials on Earth, along with various large and small gangs and organizations, would all be finished.
It's estimated they would all be wiped out.
Kevin stopping the nuclear launch was equivalent to saving them.
Counting it this way, Kevin even felt that ten skill points were too few!
It should have been dozens at least!
But anyway, getting extra skill points is a good thing, and Kevin didn't need to push for too much; his next goal now was to find Ultron and then destroy him.
He believed that destroying this future Infinity Ultron should give him quite a few skill points.
"Uh… Kevin, it seems like something is coming?"
While Kevin was still fantasizing about how many skill points he would get in the future, the Milan's detection device detected the presence of an unknown flying object.
Through the magnified image of the detection device, everyone discovered what was approaching the Milan.
"Is that a robot?"
Rocket looked at the flying red robot through the screen and asked in surprise.
That was Ultron.
Kevin's expression became solemn; he stood up, ready to leave the Milan, and said to everyone:
"That's another Infinity Stones holder; I'll deal with him, and you all provide support from outside."
"Another Infinity Stones holder?! What's going on these past few days? The Infinity Stones, which only exist in legends, are appearing one after another. Is it an Infinity Stones giveaway?!"
Hearing Kevin reveal Ultron's identity, Star-Lord couldn't help but complain.
First, the power stone, then the Reality Stone that Kevin got from who knows where, and now another Infinity Stone appeared before them.
The Collector said these were the most precious primordial stones in the universe, and in just a few days, they had already seen half of them.
If this continued, they might achieve the special achievement of 'having seen all Infinity Stones.'
"This should be the last one you can see for now, anyway… I'll go deal with him; you just watch and help."
Kevin comforted Star-Lord, though it wasn't really comfort at all, and then immediately left the Milan, colliding with Ultron from outside the planet.
Like a meteor, Kevin plunged through Earth's atmosphere, heading straight for Ultron.
The 'meteor' in the sky was exceptionally conspicuous.
Ultron, in the form of Vision, stopped in mid-air when he saw the meteor coming towards him, waiting for Kevin's arrival.
Not long after, Kevin arrived in front of Ultron, and the two holders of different stones met.
Ultron's gaze immediately locked onto the ring on Kevin's right hand:
"Interesting, so it was you? The one who stopped the nuclear explosion."
"Evidently."
The ring on Kevin's right hand glowed red, and he smiled as he spoke to Ultron.
Ultron said nothing; once he got the answer he wanted, the mind stone on his forehead flashed.
A golden-yellow ray shot out from his head, landing on Kevin at a speed Kevin couldn't react to, splitting him in two from bottom to top!
Kevin's current proud physique couldn't even withstand one blow from Ultron!
But Ultron, who had split his enemy in two, wasn't particularly happy; on the contrary, he tilted his head, looking strangely at Kevin, who was split into left and right halves in front of him.
In his pupils, data seemed to flow.
"How terrifying; my physique has already reached this level, yet you can still shoot me in half. It seems it was correct not to meet you with my true body."
Kevin's voice came from the void.
As his voice sounded, the Kevin in front of Ultron completely dissipated in a red mist.
Clearly, the person who met and spoke with Ultron just now was not Kevin's true body.
Knowing that the Ultron in front of him was difficult to deal with, and to be safe, Kevin had used the Reality Stone to create a clone with the exact same physique as his true body the moment he left the Milan.
And sure enough, Ultron, that guy, attacked directly without any martial ethics.
What surprised Kevin even more was that he had originally thought his clone should be able to withstand Ultron for a bit, but in the end, it suffered the same fate as the original Thanos.
A single ray from Ultron turned Kevin into 'Ke | Vin.'
A Level 5 physique was instantly killed by one shot. Judging by this, probably only a Level 6 Fighter's Body could withstand it.
"Interesting."
Ultron failed to instantly kill his enemy, and the corners of his mouth turned up, seemingly interested in Kevin.
Kevin, however, didn't find anything interesting and had no mood to continue chatting with Ultron.
Hiding in the shadows, he aimed at Ultron's cheek and delivered a heavy punch!
Thump!!
Fist met metal, and Ultron plummeted rapidly to the ground amidst a dull thud.
Kevin's figure also revealed itself at that moment; he grimaced and furiously shook the fist he had just used to punch Ultron.
"Damn! I forgot he was made entirely of Vibranium! Ow ow ow ow—"
Unlike the close-quarters combat with Thanos.
Thanos's body, no matter what, was still flesh and blood. While his defense was astonishing, at least when you punched him, the part your fist touched was soft, without such a large recoil.
But Ultron was different.
He was now entirely made of Vibranium.
Even if his body was actually a fusion of Vibranium and biological cells, he could change his body density, and at this moment, his body was the hardest metal.
When Kevin punched him, it was like an ordinary human, with flesh and blood, forcefully striking a steel plate with their fist.
His fist not being injured was already a testament to his good physique; some pain was naturally unavoidable.
Whoosh—!
Kevin was still blowing on his fist when Ultron's golden ray struck directly again.
Quickly dodging the golden ray, Kevin created gauntlets also made of Vibranium with both fists, and with a wave of his right hand, a Vibranium trident appeared.
Accompanied by a 'bang' as the sound barrier was broken, Kevin plunged straight down towards Ultron below.
A white smoke trail formed in the sky, and at the front of the trail, Kevin rapidly approached Ultron, thrusting the Vibranium trident, made with the Reality Stone, towards Ultron's forehead!
Unlike Thanos, who used the power stone previously, the current Ultron had not fully unleashed the power of the mind stone.
He was merely using the mind stone's energy, shooting it out as a ray.
He was not using the mind stone's purest and most fundamental ability, which is mind control, to attack Kevin.
On the contrary, Kevin could unleash the full power of the Reality Stone without reservation. With one weak and one strong, Ultron was actually being suppressed by Kevin, falling into a disadvantage.
"!"
Based on his internal system, Ultron analyzed the composition of the trident in Kevin's hand.
The trident Kevin had temporarily created with the Reality Stone seemed to have some additional components besides Vibranium, giving it the ability to pierce Ultron's skin.
Having analyzed this, Ultron dared not confront the trident head-on.
He immediately increased the power output of the mind stone on his forehead, releasing a stronger beam of energy in an attempt to intercept Kevin.
The next instant, Kevin's figure was swallowed by the beam.
But at that very same moment, Ultron felt a chill in his chest; something had pierced him from behind and emerged from the front!
Pfft—
"Wh—!?"
Looking down, it was the tip of the trident.
"Sorry about that, that last one… was also a clone!"
Kevin, who suddenly appeared behind Ultron, fiercely stabbed Ultron straight through with the trident.
He once again used his 'resourceful' 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' style of combat to deceive Ultron's Vision and other senses, delivering this harsh blow from behind Ultron.
It's still the same saying: when you know it's almost impossible to win by confronting an enemy head-on, going for a direct confrontation is not bravery, it's foolishness.
Kevin didn't want to be a fool; with the Reality Stone in hand, and having learned to use the Reality Stone to deceive others' senses in combat, he naturally wanted to use this fighting style to the fullest.
Facing Ultron head-on, even if the outcome was good, it would probably be a never-ending battle where neither could defeat the other.
Just like when he fought Thanos.
The worst outcome would be Kevin's stone being taken by the opponent, allowing Ultron to fully possess a second Infinity Stone.
Kevin could not accept the result of a direct confrontation, whether good or bad.
Since that's the case, why not use the easiest way to win the battle?
Whether it's despicable or shameless, as long as you win, it's a victory!
"Heh heh, truly… very interesting."
But even facing this situation, Ultron could still smile.
His body suddenly became illusory, and in the blink of an eye, he detached from Kevin's trident.
And the wound in the middle, made by Kevin's trident, also healed as if time had flowed backward.
Kevin had forgotten.
Ultron was Vision.
And Vision… had the ability to make his body illusory.
"Wow…"
Just as Kevin exclaimed, Ultron once again released a massive amount of mind stone energy, forming a ray that could cut through any object, heading towards Kevin.
This time, Kevin was hit directly by the energy, but he had prepared before Ultron released the energy, turning the trident in his hand into Captain America's shield and firmly blocking it in front of him.
The shield collided with Ultron's ray, and under the powerful impact, Kevin, holding the shield, was sent flying by the ray.
He fell from the sky to the ground, then slid along the ground, plowing a nearly thousand-meter-long gully.
Kevin, sent flying by Ultron's laser, only wanted to curse.
The writer of this what if was too unreliable; in Avengers 3, Vision lost his combat ability after being stabbed like that and couldn't fight until the end of the movie.
But here, when it happens to Kevin, the wound caused by the stab heals completely with ease, and he can even turn around and deliver a fatal blow to Kevin.
If Vision in Avengers 3 had been that brave, what would Thanos have even done?!
Wanda and Vision together could have killed all those alien invaders!
"Kevin? Do you need help?"
Kevin stood up from the gully, enduring Vision's laser, and Star-Lord's question came from his ear.
Looking at Vision in front of him, Kevin suddenly thought of something and immediately shouted to Star-Lord:
"No!! And you guys jump away quickly! Don't stay here! Immediately, right now! Jump away!!!"
"Huh? Kevin, are you serious?"
"Don't ask so many questions for now! I'll contact you later…"
Kevin and Star-Lord's conversation was only halfway through when Vision in the air had already focused his gaze on the Milan, which was parked in outer space.
"So, beyond Earth, there are so many other alien life forms."
His voice wasn't loud, but Kevin, who had been closely watching Ultron, could hear his words clearly.
After hearing them, Kevin's heart sank.
He had only just realized that in what if, Ultron began destroying other planets because Thanos's arrival made Ultron realize there were other universes beyond Earth.
He would destroy other universes also because he sensed the presence of The Watcher, realizing that besides this universe, there were countless parallel universes.
In other words, once Ultron realized that Earth was not alone in this universe, he would very likely follow the trail to find other planets and eliminate them one by one.
Kevin realized this point, which was why he told Star-Lord to leave immediately.
However, it seemed his warning was a bit late now.
