Chapter 241 - Chapter 241 Ultron Unleashes His Power, the Confused Avengers....

The one most nervous about Ultron's appearance wasn't actually Fake Rhodey, but the group of Avengers!

Especially Nano Tony; the moment Ultron appeared, he almost reflexively pressed the nano-device on his chest, completing the deployment of his nano-armor and aiming his palm cannon at the female-looking Ultron!

Seeing this, Tony quickly stepped in front of Nano Tony: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down, buddy. Why are you so worked up?"

Captain America, who had also subconsciously raised his shield, twitched his lip and explained to Tony:

"Because the you from our Universe once created an Ultron too, and that Ultron lifted all of Sokovia into the sky, nearly destroying human civilization..."

Tony was stunned for a moment and looked at Nano Tony with some surprise:

"Although I don't think you're as smart as me, you are another version of me after all. How could you make such a rookie mistake? Didn't you program the Three Laws of Robotics into your Universe's Ultron?"

Nano Tony continued to stare warily at Ultron, his voice low:

"Ultron's birth was faster than I anticipated. It was born while I was away, suddenly appearing to consume Jarvis, and after just one sweep of the internet, it decided to destroy humanity. It is extremely dangerous!"

Tony, however, was dismissive of Nano Tony's warning:

"That was only true for the Ultron you made. Being smarter than you, I wouldn't make the same mistake. When we created Ultron, we already added the Three Laws of Robotics to her code, and Ryan even added a final layer of shackles. There is absolutely no way she could do something like destroying humanity!"

Hearing this, Nano Tony glanced at Ryan, who sat calmly at the head of the table. Recalling how Ryan had kicked Thanos around like a ball and his Earth-shattering battle with the strongest Inheritor, Solus, he finally relaxed a bit and powered down his palm cannon.

He believed that even if this Ultron turned out to be anti-human like the one in his Universe, Ryan would teach her how to behave...

As for Nano Tony, who was still looking at her with a face full of wariness, Ultron merely gave him a cold glance before looking away, seemingly not caring about him at all.

Or rather, Ultron scanned everyone in the conference room and didn't care about a single person there, including her three programmers and creators: Tony, Dr. Banner, and The Leader!

It wasn't until her gaze landed on Ryan at the head of the table that a human-like fanatical light ignited in her crimson eyes. She bowed slightly to Ryan, placed her right hand over her heart, and said in a tone of awe:

["Master, it is a pleasure to serve you. I am your intelligent butler, Ultron!"]

Ryan wasn't the least bit surprised by the starkly different level of respect Ultron showed him compared to the others.

Because he had said before that Tony could create Ultron, but before the final step was completed, he had to be the one to place the shackles on her.

And now that Ultron had appeared, it naturally meant he had already applied those shackles.

On the day Tony and the others finished Ultron's formal programming, they notified Ryan to come over. Tony then used the Mind Stone, which had created Ultron's base code, to place a command of eternal loyalty to Ryan within the then-unawakened Ultron.

This command was directly embedded into Ultron's underlying code by the Mind Stone. Unless Ultron wiped her entire base code or obtained the Mind Stone in Ryan's hand, it would be absolutely impossible for her to remove this command on her own!

But if Ultron were to wipe her entire base code, she would effectively disappear from this World.

As for snatching the Mind Stone from Ryan?

Heh, that difficulty was no less than creating a new Mind Stone from scratch; it was simply impossible!

One could only say that Ultron was both born from the Mind Stone and would forever be limited by it!

As for Ultron's change in appearance, it was naturally reset by Ryan based on the female Ultron from the comics.

After all, if you can set it to be an eye-pleasing girl, why set it to be a rough man?

AI has no gender anyway; how her appearance was set was entirely up to her Master, Ryan.

Seeing Ultron's gaze turn toward him, Ryan casually pointed at Fake Rhodey, who was surrounded by Thor and Dr. Banner, and said calmly: "Ultron, pull up all the information he's hiding and show them..."

["As you command, my Master!"]

Receiving the order, Ultron turned her head toward Fake Rhodey, and data streams began to flow rapidly within her red eyes.

In just a few seconds, the firewall that Jarvis had been temporarily unable to breach was broken by Ultron. Holographic projections of the contents of Fake Rhodey's phone immediately appeared around him.

Ultron scanned the projections one by one, and as her gaze landed on a specific projection, it would begin to play the corresponding video.

["Anti-Avengers Plan..."]

Inside, it detailed the abilities, personalities, and weaknesses of every single Avenger, as well as their home addresses, family situations, and other private information.

Furthermore, it specified for each Avenger how to most effectively use their families to attack them if a conflict were to arise!

Just seeing this, the Avengers were already shocked, all of them turning to glare at Fake Rhodey with furious, murderous eyes.

Especially the two Tonys; they saw that the simplest and most effective method against Iron Man was actually to kidnap their daughter, Morgan, and replace her!

"I'm going to fucking kill you!"

With eyes as red as Ultron's, the two Tonys were about to charge at Fake Rhodey until they were stopped by the two Dr. Banners surrounding him.

"Hey, calm down, calm down, Tony! Wait, we still need to know other information about him. Don't be impulsive yet!"

Hearing this, the two Tonys finally calmed down a bit, but they subconsciously moved to shield Morgan on both sides while staring at Fake Rhodey like hawks!

Such was the bond of these daughter-doting fathers!

Ultron ignored the two Tonys' theatrics. After quickly scanning the Anti-Avengers Plan, her gaze fell upon the second screen.

["Secret Invasion Plan..."]

Inside, it detailed how many Skrulls were on Earth and how they should quietly infiltrate human high society to replace the identities of middle and upper-class humans until a million Skrulls had their own identities on Earth.

That's right, those Skrulls not only wanted to replace people on Earth, but they also looked down on the common "beasts of burden" of humanity, targeting instead the middle and upper-class capitalists!

They wanted to live the good life directly on Earth, not to replace the drudges and go to work!

So, even if reality were invaded by impostors, we "beasts of burden" wouldn't actually need to worry, because they don't care for our identities at all...

This left the group of Avengers completely baffled.

What the hell? There are a million Skrulls on Earth?

As the Avengers who protect the Earth, how did they not know about this?

And most importantly, what exactly are Skrulls?

The Avengers were utterly confused by the species known as Skrulls, while only the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy took on grave expressions.
