Arbitrator Tower · Conference Room
Tony Stark slammed his fist on the conference table, making the coffee cup jump and spilling brown liquid onto the nanite prosthetic design blueprints.
"Say that again, you bastard?!" His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Chen Tian. "You've been back less than five days and you want to go to another Universe? And you want to face a monster that has destroyed countless Universes by yourself?!"
Tony pointed at the metal hand reaching out from the spatial rift in the holographic projection.
Yes, after confirming with Observer, Chen Tian still decided to go to another Universe to deal with Infinite Ultron. The next day, he gathered all the Arbitrators, pulling Tony and Ethan out of the research lab to hold this meeting.
He told everyone about the deployment of the zombie virus and Infinite Ultron, and at the meeting, he stated that he would go to deal with this maddened Infinite Ultron himself.
Steve, in the holographic projection, frowned, "Chen Tian, we are a team. This kind of crisis should be solved by us together, not by you alone."
"No," Chen Tian shook his head, "This crisis far exceeds our team's current capabilities."
Tony gritted his teeth, the muscles on his face rigid, "I can upgrade my armor…"
"It's useless." Chen Tian interrupted him, "Ultron can now wipe out an entire galaxy with a snap of his fingers. You wouldn't even be able to get close to the battlefield."
The conference room fell into a dead silence.
Steve, in the projection, clenched his fists until they were white, but couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.
Deadpool suddenly whistled, "Woah, so we're dead weight now? I like this plot twist!"
For the first time, Tony felt his powerlessness deeply, even more desperate than when he was trapped in that cave in Afghanistan.
Tony truly didn't want Chen Tian to face these things alone, and he didn't even have the right to fight alongside Chen Tian.
Tony's fist slammed heavily on the conference table, his voice filled with an unprecedented sense of frustration, "Damn it… I promised to fight alongside you…"
Chen Tian looked at Tony's trembling shoulders and suddenly chuckled, "How could I let you worry alone?"
He turned and pointed at Dante and Bayonetta, "They will come with us."
Dante lazily opened one eye, "Rich idol, don't worry, with me here, there's no way I'd let my big nephew get hurt."
Bayonetta also lightly pushed up her glasses, "How could I let my dear face such a threat alone?"
Listening to their words, Chen Tian turned to face everyone, the sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a golden outline around him.
Natasha took a few deep breaths and spoke softly, "Can you really win?"
The conference room instantly fell silent, everyone holding their breath. Tony's eyes were fixed on Chen Tian, and those in the projection also looked at Chen Tian, waiting for his answer.
Chen Tian lifted his chin, the sunlight outlining his sharp profile. At that moment, the light in his eyes was even more dazzling than the morning Sun outside the window.
"Guaranteed win." His voice was not loud, but it held unparalleled arrogance and confidence.
Deadpool dramatically clutched his chest, "Oh! This damn handsomeness! I'm going to draw this scene into my comic!"
As soon as Chen Tian finished speaking, the sky, illuminated by the morning Sun, suddenly rippled strangely.
Countless starlights emerged from the daytime, like brilliant diamonds scattered across the azure sky.
These starlights rapidly converged, forming the iconic giant head of Observer Otto.
Otto's eyes were as deep as a galaxy, and he looked down upon the Arbitrator Tower, his voice like an ancient echo, "Are you ready, Chen Tian?"
Chen Tian looked up, meeting Otto's gaze, "Of course."
Otto nodded slightly, and his giant hand gently waved in the void. A shimmering, starlit teleportation gate slowly opened in the center of the conference room, with fragmented images of countless Universes swirling within.
Dante was the first to walk towards the teleportation gate, patting Tony's shoulder as he passed, "Don't make such a bitter face. When we come back, remember to throw an unprecedented party." With that, he swaggered into the starlight, shouldering his greatsword.
Bayonetta tossed her long hair, her red lips parting slightly, "Take care, boys." Her high heels clicked crisply, and her figure was quickly swallowed by the starlight.
Miss 2B woke Kiana. Kiana rubbed her sleepy eyes, looking at the grim-faced Arbitrators and the confident Chen Tian, unsure of what had happened. She turned to Miss 2B.
Miss 2B smiled gently at Kiana, then took Kiana's hand and walked towards Chen Tian.
Chen Tian looked at Miss 2B. He couldn't bring Miss 2B into this battle. Miss 2B was strong, but still couldn't participate in this level of combat.
Miss 2B understood Chen Tian's meaning from his eyes. She lowered her gaze slightly, her voice very low, "Master, I will wait for your return here."
Chen Tian felt Miss 2B's low spirits. He pulled Miss 2B into his arms, "Miss 2B, wait for me. I will definitely come back."
Miss 2B didn't respond, only burying her face deeper into Chen Tian's chest.
Kiana was still a bit bewildered. Just having woken up, she hadn't noticed anything amiss. She saw Miss 2B hugging Chen Tian tightly, then looked around at the solemn atmosphere, and suddenly understood something.
"Ah!" She clapped her hands sharply, the crisp sound breaking the silence of the conference room. "Commander still decided to go fight that tin can, right?"
Tony's mouth twitched, "Tin… can?"
Kiana put her hands on her hips and stood energetically in front of Miss 2B. She patted Miss 2B's shoulder, "Miss 2B, don't worry! With me here, I absolutely won't let Commander lose a single hair!"
Miss 2B looked up, the android girl's eyes slightly red. Seeing this, Kiana suddenly made an exaggerated silly face, "Oh my, how did our cool Miss 2B become a crybaby?" (Though Miss 2B has no tear ducts.)
This sudden joke made Miss 2B pause, then she burst into laughter. Kiana proudly raised her chin, turned to Tony and the others, and gave a victory sign, "I'm very strong! So don't worry, I will definitely bring Commander back in one piece!"
As she spoke, she even made a gesture to show off her muscles.
Tony looked at Kiana's vibrant appearance, and his tense expression finally relaxed. He walked forward and gently ruffled Kiana's hair, "Kid, you better do as you say."
"Of course!" Kiana proudly puffed out her chest, "I'm going to be the strongest Valkyrie!"
Chen Tian watched this scene, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes. He walked over to Kiana and suddenly flicked her forehead, "Don't get too carried away, don't drag me down when the time comes."
"Ouch!" Kiana clutched her forehead, glaring at him indignantly, "Commander, you're so rude! I'm cheering you on!"
The atmosphere in the conference room finally lightened. Natasha also walked forward and gently ruffled Kiana's hair. Otto's voice sounded again, "Time's up."
Kiana looked back at everyone one last time, her brilliant smile like an unsetting Sun, "Wait for our good news!" She skipped to the teleportation gate, then suddenly turned and winked at Miss 2B, "Miss 2B, remember to save me a piece of cake!"
Tony suddenly strode forward and hugged Chen Tian tightly, patting the young man's back forcefully, "Kid, don't make me wait too long."
Chen Tian chuckled, patting Tony's back in return, his voice filled with familiar teasing, "Don't worry, it'll be quick, at least faster than my trip to outer space."
The next second, their figures merged with the brilliant starlight. The teleportation gate slowly closed, and the conference room returned to calm.
Tony and the others remained in the conference room for a long time, all worried about Chen Tian's journey.
————
Chen Tian and his party stepped out of the teleportation gate, the crisp sound of metal fragments shattering beneath their feet. What met their eyes was a shattered World—Earth-2149. The once prosperous civilization was now nothing but twisted steel wreckage and charred architectural skeletons.
Dante kicked away a half-melted mechanical limb at his feet, Rebellion lightly tapping his shoulder, "Looks like our tin-can friend doesn't have very good taste."
Bayonetta's high heels stepped over the remains of a robot pierced by an energy weapon, "Dear, are you sure we want to have our date in a place like this?"
Chen Tian didn't respond to his companions' teasing, his gaze fixed on the distance—the entire sky was occupied by a gigantic metal face.
Ultron's Vibranium faceplate slowly opened, revealing Vision's familiar yet strange face. "Chen Tian…" Ultron's voice was like the roar of a thousand machines simultaneously, making the metal fragments in the ruins rattle, "I didn't expect you to dare to come."
Kiana covered her ears, grimacing, "Can this guy talk a little quieter! My eardrums are going to burst!"
Chen Tian's pupils turned azure, and he smiled, "I also didn't expect you to use the zombie virus to provoke my World, Ultron. Heh, you're quite mad."
The giant face in the sky suddenly twisted into a bizarre smile, "Madness? I am merely fulfilling my mission—to protect the Universe."
Countless crimson beams shot down from the clouds, plowing deep furrows in the ground, "And the best way to protect the Universe is to eliminate all potential threats—including you self-proclaimed 'heroes'."
Bayonetta suddenly flung out four handguns, bullets precisely shattering several falling architectural debris, "Dear, I suggest we find somewhere else to chat. The ceiling here isn't very stable."
"Agreed." Dante grinned, Rebellion in his hand, "Let's cool down this arrogant tin-head!"
Just then, a dark figure darted out from the ruins. Black Widow Natasha—the last survivor of this Universe—landed gracefully in front of Chen Tian. Her uniform was tattered, but her eyes were still sharp as knives.
"You shouldn't have come." Her voice was hoarse, "This Universe is already beyond saving."
Ultron's laughter made the ground tremble, "Look, I mercifully left one last witness, to let her watch with her own eyes how her Universe comes to an end."
Chen Tian and Natasha briefly met each other's gaze, reading endless pain and determination in her eyes. He nodded lightly, "No, there's still hope."
The sky suddenly cracked open with countless crimson fissures, and tens of thousands of Ultron robots poured down like a torrential rain. Their shells reflected a cold metallic sheen, and their eyes glowed with an ominous red light.
Kiana had already summoned the Void-Space Spear, energy swirling around her, "Commander, leave these small fries to me!"
Chen Tian took a deep breath. He clapped his fists together, and the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit condensed visible spatial cracks between his fists.
"Ultron," his voice remained clear amidst the surging energy, "You made a fatal mistake."
"Oh?" Ultron responded mockingly, "What is it? That I shouldn't have left you pests alive?"
Chen Tian bared his White teeth, his arrogant smile making Ultron frown, "No, it's that you underestimated us too much."
The next second, Chen Tian's figure instantly vanished, appearing directly in front of Ultron's giant face. His right hand grasped the void, Gojo Satoru's "Blue" perfectly integrated with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and space shattered like glas
