Chapter 428 - Chapter 427 Crisis

On the battlefield, explosions echoed one after another.

Tony's Battle Suit was covered in scratches, and his figure dodging and weaving through the air no longer held its usual ease.

Because Jarvis had been erased by Ultron, all autopilot modes had been rendered useless. Now, he could only rely on his own combat instincts to deal with these Ultron robots.

"Damn it, did this monster Ultron use all the Vibranium in the parallel Universes to mass-produce robots? This defensive capability is fucking ridiculous!"

"More than that, their tactical coordination is highly advanced, not just simple programming." Steve, who had used his ability to grow into a giant dozens of meters tall, brandished his nioh shield, standing at the very front of the line to deal with a Destroyer armor.

After blocking a series of attacks, even his arms were left numb from the shock.

Hulk, transformed from Dr. Banner, let out a roar and charged at another Destroyer Ultron, punching it in the chest with all his might.

*Clang!*

With a loud crash, the Destroyer Ultron took half a step back, a large dent smashed into its chest armor.

But before Hulk could celebrate, the dent rapidly restored itself, and the subsequent destructive laser blasted Hulk, making him howl in pain.

Looking across the entire battlefield, there were only three people who could cause effective damage to the Ultron army.

Daisy, Wanda, and Strange.

Daisy could use her Quake Ability to forcefully disrupt the molecular bonds of the Vibranium, preventing the Vibranium Ultrons, who relied on their Vibranium bodies to fight, from reconstructing themselves.

Wanda hovered in mid-air, her hands dancing as crimson Chaos Magic energy coiled out like ribbons.

One after another, the Vibranium Ultrons were enveloped by magic energy, their indestructible metal bodies twisting into scrap metal under the bizarre power, until even their energy systems completely failed.

Finally, Strange's performance was even more eye-catching.

"Room."

He extended his finger, and a massive blue hemispherical space instantly expanded, enveloping more than half of the battlefield.

"Tact."

Holding a scalpel, Strange gave a gentle flick toward an Ultron robot in the distance that was about to shoot Harry.

In the next second, that robot swapped places with a stone in front of Harry. The robot's energy cannon hit its own companion; though it didn't cause much damage, it successfully resolved Harry's crisis.

"Thanks, Doctor Strange." Harry looked at the robot on the ground with a hole blasted in it, a lingering fear in his heart.

If not for Strange's timely assistance, the person lying on the ground right now would have been him.

Sweat beaded on Strange's forehead; he had no time to banter with Harry.

"Room: Shambles!"

He swung the Ookami no Keika in his hand with all his might, drawing a massive silver arc in the air.

Wherever the blade light passed, a large row of Vibranium Ultrons was instantly sliced in half at the waist.

The cutting ability of the Ope-Ope no Mi was just that formidable; even the strongest Vibranium was easily split in two under this power.

Looking at these halved Ultron robots, Strange's eyes narrowed slightly. In the next second, he crossed his fingers.

With this movement of his, the Ultrons' bodies were forcefully mixed and matched together under the power of the Ope-Ope no Mi.

Feet to feet, bodies to bodies.

Through this alternative method of stitching, a large number of Ultron robots broke down on the spot due to instruction conflicts.

If he could maintain such a record for a long time, Strange would undoubtedly become the well-deserved MVP of this battle.

But unfortunately, he had been a superhero for too short a time.

Although the Devil Fruit's ability was powerful, every activation consumed a massive amount of physical stamina.

Especially in such a high-intensity battle, maintaining such a massive 'Room' was no small burden for him.

On the other hand, the Ultron army was no fool.

They quickly analyzed the battlefield situation and designated Daisy, Wanda, and Strange as the highest priority threats.

The two Destroyer Ultrons glanced at each other, decisively abandoning their entanglement with Captain America and Hulk. They turned at the same time, surrounding Wanda from the front and back.

"Wanda, watch out!" Steve noticed something was wrong immediately and shouted a warning.

Even without his warning, Wanda felt an unprecedented pressure.

She immediately mobilized all her Chaos Magic, forming a thick, crimson shield in front of her.

The faceplates of the two Destroyer Ultrons opened simultaneously, and two golden energy beams, thicker than any before, gushed out, merging into one and heavily slamming into Wanda's shield.

*Boom!*

The clash of energy triggered a violent explosion, and a wild air current swept out in all directions.

Wanda's shield was covered in cracks the instant it made contact. She gritted her teeth, pouring out her Chaos Magic with all her might, barely keeping the shield from shattering.

But she could feel her power being rapidly depleted.

"Damn it!" Tony turned around, aiming all his weapons at one of the Destroyer Ultrons and pouring down firepower.

However, those missiles and lasers hitting the Destroyer did nothing but kick up a series of sparks, unable to budge it in the slightest.

The third Destroyer Ultron charged toward Strange.

Determining that it shouldn't get close to Strange's space, it only used lasers to attack Strange from a distance.

Strange could only dodge in a hurry.

When he absolutely couldn't dodge, he would use Tact to swap places with a robot.

It was a good idea, but he forgot about the limits of his physical stamina.

After using Tact to swap places once more, as soon as he raised his hand, he felt a wave of dizziness in his brain, and the feeling of extreme physical exhaustion washed over him.

The surgical space in his hand was also rapidly shrinking.

"Damn it!" Strange cursed inwardly, knowing he was reaching his limit.

Just then, an Ultron robot flashed behind Natasha, its right hand, transformed into a sharp blade, thrusting straight toward the back of Natasha's heart.

Strange looked at the laser about to strike him, and then at Natasha, who was about to be hit.

Gritting his teeth, he made his choice.

"Room: Tact!"

Exerting the very last of his strength, he swapped Natasha out, leaving himself completely exposed to the Destroyer Ultron's laser!

At the same time,

*Crack...*

With a crisp cracking sound, Wanda's magic shield finally could not hold on any longer and shattered with a bang.

The three converging destructive beams shot toward that petite figure without any obstruction.

It was over.

The same thought popped into the minds of all the Avengers who witnessed this scene.

They seemed... about to lose two important comrades at the same time!

At this critical juncture, the space beside Wanda and Strange distorted without any warning.

Immediately after, two figures tore through space, appearing beside them at the same time.

The two figures appeared in front of Strange and Wanda in perfect unison. Each extending a hand, an invisible barrier blocked the Ultrons' lethal lasers.
