Chapter 73 Ultron vs Skynet
The sunlight passes through the gaps between the clouds, dividing the space into two worlds: light and dark.⊙.
The Avengers stood in the shadows, and the person opposite looked a little dazzling. Tony leaned over his head and squinted his eyes to see them clearly. Natalie had recovered from excitement and loss of control. She now had a quiet expression, and even felt a sense of ease as if she was overwhelmed by the corner of her mouth.
Seeing Tony's eyes looking at her, she even felt in the mood to fly a kiss to him and said to him with a lip: "The next time we meet, we will not be friends! Stark."
"Why?" Tony said to her in his heart.
But he did not ask this sentence after all. In this way, the two sides gradually drifted away, and the Avengers drew a deep rift between them and the Communist Alliance with the most resolute attitude. On the contrary, Kadinov, who had always been hostile to them, seemed very indifferent, or quite confident, and Tony could feel this kind of arrogance.
It seems like a time traveler standing upstream of history, watching their rotten corpses.
The attitude of firm belief that the world will be changed and the Avengers' persistence will be corrupt, so arrogant that Tony could even imagine that Kativ said to them in his usual plain tone: "We don't care about your persistence!" Because time, world, and truth are on their side.
When he thinks of that kind of scene, he feels deeply sad and angry. What makes him feel even more sad is that he cannot imagine if the world develops in that direction, will his existence still have meaning? As a hero, his values and his meaning of existence will be rejected. In history, he is like a role in a stage play, just life.
No one cares about a superhero Iron Man, and only remembers a billionaire, Playboy, Avengers, Superman Tony Stark.
A sudden invasion of the Zitaris interrupted the contact between the Avengers and the Communist Alliance. Kadinov also wanted to join the war, and Natalie also asked to go to the battlefield. Even if it was just an ambulance officer. Kadinov said that such an attack did not stop in one day, usually happen once every three hours, and sometimes three times an hour.
From terrifying wars with planets and galaxies as coordinates and space warships as units to infiltration and fighting with teams as combat units in the atmosphere as combat radius, wars are happening every moment.
The Avengers were allowed to watch the battle. Although there were differences, they were still treated to a considerable degree in this regime dominated by humans. They were not restricted from freedom and were not monitored. This confidence reminded Steve of the United States during World War II: "They were really like us at that time! North Koreans, Chinese, Filipinos, Indians. All countries that were not liberated, no matter what their attitude towards the United States, as long as they oppose fascism, we welcome him!"
"You mean that compared to the Zitaris, we are humans at least, so we are treated preferentially?"
Dr. Bruce curled up in the small room, his tone was not good. The Hulk was at least twice as tall as Tony and the others. He seemed quite uncomfortable in the buildings prepared for humans. And Natalie's departure also made him feel very bad. If it weren't for the professor's teaching and help, the Hulk would have gone crazy long ago.
"This is not the point." Captain America looked at the fleet taking off outside the space prism in a daze, and replied in a daze: "The point is the kind of self-confidence, the confidence in the golden age."
"Just like the United States before the victory of World War II. We believe that victory must belong to us, and we believe that our army is unstoppable. Even if evil is powerful, the final victory must be justice, and we represent justice. We can tolerate all those who have objections and are wary of us. As long as he does not belong to evil."
"At that time, whether the evil red axis system won victory in China or Eastern Europe turned to communism, we didn't care and we welcomed them, because God stood with us at that time."
"But God will not stand with the atheists this time!" Tony stood up and said maliciously.
He signaled everyone to look at him: "Everyone, you will not think that we will always be friendly and safe with them! We will not talk about whether we will become enemies with them, but we will not be friends anyway."
"We are all humans..." Captain America said helplessly.
Stark sarcastically said: "The Nazis and us are also humans!"
"During the Cold War, we almost had a world war with them, and now there will be no peace. It's nothing more than the Cold War or the arrival of a stronger Iron Curtain. Don't forget that the terrifying balance under the core of maintaining world peace has disappeared. They can destroy us at any time and sweep the entire United States and even the earth."
"Stark, don't go crazy!" Tony's words obviously did not meet Captain America's appetite.
He stood up and looked at Tony, saying to him seriously: "Freedom is better than my life, and peace is the same. If you adopt such an adversarial mindset... I think it will definitely not be them who lose."
"Don't fantasize about victory, Tony."
"I am pursuing peace. Unless the balance of strength can there be peace. Otherwise, as we did to the Indians, the civilized people here will also eliminate us, the "backward" and "barbaric" components." Tony said seriously: "I love this country, so I want to protect her. No one likes weapons when world peace, but now... I think it's time for Stark's weapons industry to restart!"
"Your actions are too dangerous, Stark."
"This world is too dangerous!" Tony retorted without showing any weakness.
"You will pull America down the abyss. If you believe we are right, why don't you dare to wait for time to prove it? Or do you not believe in what you insist on? What makes you stand with us is not ideals, but position? The victory of the idea does not lie in how terrible it is, but in how much people support it." Bruce couldn't help but refute.
"We will win, just like when the former Soviet Union fell, human nature will choose us. The biggest enemy of the Communist Alliance is their people, as long as those people are willing to believe us."
"Because they didn't deceive me, I know." Tony opened his hand and tilted his head, "I know more about politics than you. There is nothing that cannot be distorted and nothing that cannot be discredited."
"Do you know that Washington likes to pull out black people's teeth? I even have one of his dentures in my collection. Who was the murderer who killed Lincoln? Do you know? Where is Kennedy? And Marilyn Monroe?"
"She was also murdered by a large consortium?" Bruce said reflexively
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed his own misunderstanding and turned his head and didn't dare to look at Tony who was sneering.
"Look, you all know. You're just pretending to be stupid."
"What determines the world is material, what determines the society is economy, and strength. Sometimes, you have to take a different approach, otherwise you won't even have the opportunity in the future. This is the biggest gain I have gained in the mall." Tony glanced at his companions' faces, and Steve and Bruce's firm opposition disappointed him. Fortunately, Hawkeye and Thor supported him more.
Thor couldn't help but nodded, turned to look at Tony and said, "It's very good, but what are you using to maintain that horrible balance?"
A three-dimensional design drawing floated in Thor's palm. He stared at the core of this complex mechanical drawing, which was the projection of six gems. Thor was stunned when the gems appeared. He looked at the images of the six gems and murmured in an incredible tone: "Infinite Gems!"
"This universe is very big and mysterious. There are too many things we don't know, too many history beyond our imagination. When Nick found me that day, I thought he was crazy. But I didn't expect that he just saw this day earlier. Humanity and the life and death of the United States must have a great power to defend the world."
"The power of the six gems represents six ultimate weapons."
Tony suddenly looked up at Bruce: "Do you remember the plan we discussed?"
"You mean Ultron? Isn't it being designed?"
"Sorry, man, I lied to you. The real Ultron is a toy of S.H.E.L.D. They discovered a kind of power, magical power, real Ultron in Loki's scepter. What I gave you is only a part of the plan, complete, in addition to robots, and more, including today, I have drawn considerable inspiration."
"Loki?" Thor couldn't help but look back at his brother, and Loki looked at him innocently.
"The six weapons are the pinnacle designed by me, Tony Stark, as the world's largest weapon vendor and the best at killing among all mankind. It is a perfect combination of my personal ability and national strength. In history, the most terrifying, safest and most powerful weapon in human beings, Ultron is just one of them."
