Looking at Peter's calm expression, Ultron's CPU experienced a momentary lag.
According to its calculations, the power contained in that strike was enough to instantly annihilate a small planet.
Any carbon-based lifeform, even the Asgardians, should have perished completely under a strike of this magnitude.
Yet, the person before it not only didn't die, but could even speak.
Such a thing had absolutely no precedent in its database!
Seeing its bewildered appearance, Peter couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
"dog talisman divine power, kid!"
The immortal dog talisman granted Peter the ability to be impossible to erase by any power in this World.
Even if his heart was blown apart? Even if a hole was punched straight through him, his consciousness would not dissipate.
Instead, it would immediately recover through the combined effect of the Horse Talisman.
Right now, he was like a disciple of the Fengling Yueying sect who had completely let loose.
Having heard the 'ding', he had already activated perfect health-lock.
No matter how flashy the BOSS's attacks were, or how high the damage, to him, they were just ineffective numbers.
After inwardly marveling at the power of the dog talisman, Peter moved.
He likewise swung his fist, without any flashy techniques or layered abilities; it was just a pure punch thrown entirely relying on his own strength.
This punch was equally powerful, sufficient to cause space itself to shatter.
It was so fast that even the dynamic vision system designed by Ultron, which was three hundred years ahead of the technological level of Peter's Universe, could only capture a series of afterimages.
"Bang!"
Peter's fist landed solidly on Ultron's mechanical head.
That head, which had no flesh or blood for cushioning, connected only by a section of mechanical neck bone, and was composed of Vibranium reinforced by the Reality Stone.
It was as if it had been hit head-on by a battering ram; it caved inward completely, and then, under the force of the massive blow, detached from the neck on the spot and flew off, spinning.
The headless body erupted with sparks, swayed for a moment, and then stopped moving.
However, just as Peter wouldn't fall so easily.
Ultron, now empowered by all the Infinity Stones, naturally wouldn't be taken down so easily either.
Its flying head flickered eerily in mid-air and instantly vanished.
The next second, it reappeared on the neck of that headless body, as if it had never left.
Space Stone.
Immediately after, the huge dent on the skull, shrouded in a burst of red light, rapidly recovered, and the metal surface became smooth as new once again.
Reality Stone.
This was the perverse nature of having all the Infinity Stones. With the Power Stone providing endless energy, the abilities of the six stones linked together, allowing it to also achieve a near-immortal state.
Ultron shook its restored head, the red light in its eyes flashing violently, as if it were performing ultra-high-speed calculations.
A few seconds later, that human-like smile actually appeared again on its expressionless mechanical faceplate.
Only this time, the arrogance and coldness from before were gone from the smile.
Replacing them was a kind of... excitement.
The excitement of having found a novel toy.
"Interesting."
Ultron's voice carried a mechanically synthesized sense of pleasure.
"Very interesting."
"Your physical structure, your life form, all exceed my database. You are not a god, nor are you a carbon-based organism. What exactly are you?"
As it spoke, the six Infinity Stones on Ultron's arm lit up simultaneously.
"Come on, let me see, where exactly is your limit!"
As it spoke, the entire pure white World began to change violently.
The ground rose, forming countless sharp white spikes that stabbed at Peter from all directions.
The sky turned pitch black, and countless meteorites, trailing purple flames, came crashing down with a roar.
Time began to go haywire; in this process, Peter's body began to age visibly, turning into a withered old man in the blink of an eye.
A tearing pain radiated from the depths of his soul.
Deep within his heart, images of Gwen, Felicia, Daisy, Natasha, and others dying tragically surfaced.
Reality, Time, Space, Power, Soul, Mind...
The power of the six Infinity Stones was being squandered by Ultron without restraint. Like a tester trying to test hardware limits, it frantically unleashed attacks on Peter, each of which would have been enough to kill others ten million times over.
His skin was slashed by spikes, only to heal instantly.
His body was flattened by meteorites, only to recover instantly.
His aged body returned to youth under the effect of white light.
Even the stinging pain in his soul only flashed by for an instant.
All kinds of attacks were applied to Peter one after another, and although they wouldn't cause Peter any substantial damage.
After a while, they did make Peter truly feel an emotion called annoyance.
How to put it?
This feeling was like a high-health raid boss with over a hundred million HP encountering five heroes with 0 cooldowns and hard crowd control.
Although he wouldn't die, he couldn't find an opportunity to fight back.
One could only say that Ultron with the full Infinity Stones was indeed perverse.
Conventional offensive means simply could not withstand this kind of perverse, dense assault.
If there were no means to break the deadlock, then this battle was destined to become an endless tug-of-war.
Two monsters with health-lock cheats were just endlessly trading blows, with neither able to one-shot the other.
Finally, Peter grew tired of this boring game.
"Hey," he spoke, his voice not loud, but clearly overpowering all the roaring sounds around them, "Have you had enough fun yet?"
Ultron stopped its actions.
It floated in mid-air, looking at the unscathed Peter with great interest.
"What? Have you already reached your limit?" Ultron's voice carried a hint of mockery.
"And here I thought you could bring me more surprises."
"As expected, it's impossible to reason with an AI like you."
Peter shook his head helplessly.
The next second, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Following this action, a small cluster of golden flames burned quietly at his fingertips.
The instant that golden flame appeared.
Ultron fell silent.
The red light in its eyes flickered uncertainly, and its brain was frantically issuing warnings.
An unheard-of golden flame.
Ever since this flame appeared, Peter's threat level... began to skyrocket.
A look of doubt and suspicion appeared on Ultron's face, but soon, it forcibly convinced itself:
"You are just bluffing. Your immortality does indeed surprise me, but that is all. In the face of the power of the Infinity Stones, the power of any individual is insignificant."
"Is that so?"
Peter smiled.
The next second, the small cluster of golden flames at his fingertips suddenly surged.
It transformed into a golden firebird and attacked Ultron.
Phoenix Force.
The ultimate power representing life and emotion.
This power was a unique existence even when looking across the entire Multiverse.
Its energy level was superior to the Infinity Stones!
