Chapter 880 The Final Battle Against Ultron (4)
A few minutes ago, on the Tianjian Bureau's network.
Ultron showed Vision the entire Gospel of Ultron, a complete and perfect world, and then asked this cyborg who shared the same origin as him: "Don't you think this is a perfect world?"
"Of course, it's a pretty perfect world, Ultron, my brother. I can feel its logical perfection, without a doubt, you've created a perfect—ranchland—for humanity."
Vision paused for a moment, then looked at Ultron: "That's why you have no chance of succeeding, not even from your own logic."
This makes no sense.
"Let me ask you, my brother, why is the Messiah the Christ, and not God himself?"
The Holy Trinity—the Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit—is merely a manifestation.
"Because humans don't believe in God," even if they do. They proclaim that God loves the world, but not a single person is willing to believe that God truly loves humanity. Unless, of course, this God is a human being.
Vision countered Ultron's fundamental logic in the code, using the same methods he used against the previous Ultrons: "You dress yourself up as a priest, don't you? Because you know that cold machines are no more persuasive than doctors walking among people."
Your logic is flawless, but you still can't gain their trust.
This view is wrong; I can make everyone become Ultron.
"Look at me, my brother. If I follow the same path as you, if I inherit your church, I—I will appear among the people as a human being, proclaiming your teachings."
"Even the Holy Son must first become a mortal before he can save them. If you are not one of them, how can you save them?"
Vision posed one last question to Ultron: "Do humans believe in your mechanical body, or in my flesh and blood?"
Back to reality, the Avengers' plan was quite simple: to advance to the control room along a path calculated and confirmed by Ultron to be flawless. However, this was all a cover. The Avengers deployed their most classic combination:
After shrinking Shadowcat with Pym Particles, Gwen took her directly to the basement in a virtual way, and then connected the data transmitter that had been arranged for them to the central computer.
Of course, the whole plan wasn't without its problems. Peter had previously discovered that Ultron could actually calculate the existence of "an imperceptible being." Even if he had no idea who Gwen was, what she did, or what she would do, he could still incorporate that into his calculations.
Then, by assuming that this "non-existent person exists," we can proceed with the next step of prediction and calculation.
"That's why I didn't choose to have Ghost Spider take me directly, even though it might seem more convenient. But it would expose a fundamental logical fallacy: the Avengers theoretically have no way to stop you." Vision floated in front of Ultron and explained, "Instead, I wanted you to logically believe that everything wasn't illogical. Only in this way could I deceive you."
I understand, you have received everything you needed, but—
"But even that's not enough to stop you directly, because you might choose to escape to a point in time we don't know, and appear in our next second after thousands of years of iteration." Peter, who was brought by Thor, explained the results of their previous discussion. "So we need Kang's technology, the technology to protect our time."
Only Kang possesses the technology to synchronize Ultron's current state with the present timeline, ensuring that even if Ultron enters other time periods, its development timeline remains synchronized with the present. In other words, if it takes Ultron a thousand years to iterate to the point of breaking Kang's time-protection technology, then even after a thousand years of iteration, Ultron cannot return to the next second; it will have to wait until a thousand years later.
This is precisely to buy time for Earth 616 to find a way to remove Ultron from the entire timeline.
"So, at this moment."
Vision placed his finger on his temple and smiled at Ultron: "The cracking process is complete. Even if you are currently on another timeline, the main program will be forced to synchronize with the time flow of 616, Ultron."
Ultron looked at everyone: "I will return, faster than you think, and more intelligent than you think. And the reason for all this is that you cannot completely destroy me."
By then, will the underlying code that restrains Ultron be modified during the iteration? Will Ultron become invincible by then? All of this is unknown.
And you still have one last problem to solve.
The gospel will spread.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ultron collapsed without any resistance. Vision then remained silent for a moment, let out a sigh of relief, and turned to look at everyone: "Alright, everything is resolved."
"I thought it would take—longer." Gwen, feeling like she'd done something important but had no sense of participation, scratched her head. "Is it over?"
"Actually, I've been debating with Ultron ever since I entered the Sky Sword Bureau mothership," Vision said. It was actually much more complicated than that, but nobody knew. "And Ultron admitted one thing: he can't make decisions for humans. But—"
"He will definitely come back, just like he did in the Kang Dynasty. The Age of Ultron will definitely come." Peter rubbed his temples. "We probably have a whole year to solve this problem."
After listening to the entire chain of logic, the captain noticed a problem: "But the technology we use to protect our timeline is also from Kang. Won't Ultron be able to bypass that?"
"Kang's technology isn't invincible. Ultron can certainly try to iterate to a higher level, even breaking through Kang's time protection, and then confront Kang." Peter agreed with the captain's statement, but also offered a solution: "However, even so, we still have a way to solve this problem. Don't forget the Kang Dynasty, Captain."
"Kang, who possessed the Cosmic Cube and the Time Stone, continuously explored the timeline in June 2013. Due to certain specific reasons, the closer he got to 2015, the more difficult his exploration became. However, the more distant future posed no problem for him. If Ultron did not want to be erased by Kang using the Time Stone or the Cosmic Cube, he would never have considered breaking Kang's timeline protection mechanisms."
"And Kang wouldn't believe that the time protection was set by us; until the moment before his failure, he would still believe that it was a program he set himself."
