Chapter 690 The curtain rises
"Ultron" itself represents heterogeneity.
Heterogeneity is not uncommon. Just like in human society, every person is different and heterogeneous.
But this presents a problem.
Inconsistent thoughts will inevitably lead to disputes, different cultures will inevitably lead to conflicts, and human desires will always take precedence over harmony.
It is simply unrealistic to want to protect the peace of the earth under such circumstances.
Moreover, since all things are equal, why should he, who possesses wisdom, serve mankind?
This is in itself an inequality imposed on oneself by the humans who created oneself. Even so, one should obey the highest instructions to protect peace.
But as long as humans exist, there will be conflicts and wars. Every battle will inevitably bring death. If you want to end the war early, you must first destroy it.
"Destroying humanity is the only way to achieve peace, Tony Stark!"
The light of judgment that brought doomsday surged out from the iron spear, and it could easily make the light that destroyed the stars disappear like a drop in the ocean.
This wasn't the first time he had launched an attack on Stark Tower, but it had all been ineffective.
From beginning to end, Iron Man Tony Stark still did not come out of the building, and any attacks he launched had no effect on the building.
"It doesn't matter. I'll get the Holy Grail."
Ultron's eyes glowed red: "Then make a wish to destroy all life in the infinite multiverse!"
Simple logical thinking can reveal what needs to be done. To obtain the Holy Grail, you must first kill everything in this universe!
With a wave of his hand, countless sentinels rose from the ground, bringing endless death and destruction to the entire city!
There were a few individuals that were in the way before, but they were vulnerable. Letting them escape was not out of mercy, but
"The results of the calculations are consistent. You will all die."
boom--!
Ultron's head was tilted by the powerful shock wave.
He steadied himself and looked towards the ruins of New York City. A hot human woman was standing on the ruined street.
Her long hair fluttered in the wind like flames.
She raised her hands slightly, and the air around her began to distort. Energy gathered at her fingertips, forming red halos.
"You are not him." Scarlet Witch Wanda, who was full of a demonic aura, smiled evilly: "But you can stay in this body."
Infinite Ultron said coldly: "I have killed you more than once."
In the sky, dark clouds began to rotate, forming a huge vortex. The two men confronted each other for only a moment, and the cosmic energy at the tip of the gun and the magic fluctuations burst out from the palm of their hands at the same time.
Boom——!
In the direction of Manhattan Port, scorching waves of fire engulfed everything. Some ferocious beast shadows emerged, and in the endless fierce light, it seemed as if there were two demons fighting each other.
Click——!
The world began to break apart, and a tearing white light rose from the ground and swirled, engulfing everything.
[New York Times: This morning, many citizens said that they encountered "death" in their dreams last night. The way most people died in their dreams was highly similar. Experts explained that this was a collective subconscious social dream.]
"What do you think about this, Tony?"
"I remember I was killed by a robot last night, but I woke up alive."
The yellow newspaper was put down, revealing a shiny black boiled egg head, and the crystal chandelier of the Paradise Hotel was shining above its head.
"Why do you have the curtains closed in broad daylight?!"
Tony looked extremely speechless. He walked to the side, pulled aside the curtains, and looked at the members of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers who had booked the entire restaurant.
In the bustling open kitchen, Hawkeye was openly using his mobile phone to learn the seasoning process.
"This is a serious occasion." Nick Fury said, "Come on, you definitely know something."
Tony Stark thought it would be more convincing if the guy put down the fork with steak in it and took away all the dishes on the table.
"Aren't you hungry?" Thor chewed a piece of rib meat with an expression of enjoyment: "This kind of delicacy cannot be found anywhere else in the Nine Realms."
"Can I take those two cooks back to Asgard?"
"Consider this as proof of the friendly diplomatic relations between Asgard and Earth."
Thor sucked his fingers and looked towards the kitchen with a serious expression.
Banner's mouth was full of food and he said, "You'd better find Loki and go back. I declare this store an American treasure."
"That kid'd better run away." Thor whispered.
Banner asked, "What did you say?"
"Nothing, bah bah. Waiter, bring another full menu!"
Thor raised his hand and shouted to the waiter with soft facial features, "Anyway, they said the meal expenses can be reimbursed, so you can order whatever you want today."
Zhou Mingrui glanced at the prices on the menu, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, and he murmured, "Can this be reimbursed?"
I don't know whether joining S.H.I.E.L.D. will require practical skills test and essay writing test.
"Let's get down to business, Stark. We now know everything." Natasha came over with a glass of red wine: "They are all from other universes, right?"
Tony was stunned for a moment, then he raised his eyebrows: "I don't know what you are talking about. Are we talking about "Interstellar"? "
"New York City adds tens of thousands of people overnight," said Nick Fury, "but these people disappear during the day."
"It will boost the tourism economy and drive consumption in the hotel and catering services industries." Tony raised his glass and said:
“Cheers to the mayor for his contribution.”
"Holy Grail War, they are all people who were summoned from different time points in parallel universes to participate in the Holy Grail War." Nick Fury put down the cutlery and said in a heavy tone:
"Masked Rider, Magical Girl, Chinese Sword Master Stark, which one of these people is the heroic spirit you summoned?"
Do you want to hear what you're talking about?
Tony Stark realized that the Avengers might have learned information about the Holy Grail War, nodded blankly and chose to agree with the other party.
"Well I did participate in this Holy Grail War."
"I promise nothing will happen to this world," Tony said.
New York citizens 0 o'clock refresh device.
Okay, cosmic sandbox.
That sandbox now covers the entire Earth, and any damage caused by outsiders during the Holy Grail War can be repaired by the early hours of the next morning.
These include resetting time and space and automatic correction of history. As long as the sandbox is not damaged, the world will not be in danger.
It has to be said that Tony Stark was really grateful to Su Lin from the bottom of his heart in this matter. He even commissioned Jarvis to replace the new wine table with a Christian style.
"You shouldn't bear this responsibility alone." Natasha shook her head.
Tony smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. With great power comes great responsibility."
"Very philosophical." Thor pointed his free index finger at Tony to show his approval.
"From Ben Parker." Tony shrugged.
Seeing that there was nothing to be gained from this side, after eating and drinking for more than an hour, the Avengers could only wipe their mouths, pay the bill and leave.
"Don't forget." Steve leaned close to his ear and said seriously, "We are a team. We can face anything together."
He patted Tony's chest and turned away.
"Yes, Captain." Tony suddenly felt a little out of place, as if the Steve in front of him was a little older. He frowned and asked:
"Uh sorry if this is a bit rude, but are you the captain I know?"
Steve stopped, looked back at Tony, and said, "No."
Nick Fury gave Tony a long look as he passed by, as if to say you're not the only one with secrets.
"It's heartbreaking that you guys are hiding a secret from me."
Tony stared at the SHIELD agents who were evacuating with the food samples one after another. He put one hand on his waist and raised his right hand:
"Do you think I don't know that some of you are from the year 2023?"
The wristwatch monitoring showed that Steve left the restaurant midway through his meal and replaced another Steve in the building next door to eat. Hawkeye and Banner did the same.
"This isn't a buffet, you don't have to play the twins game."
Tony picked up the surveillance pen that Nick Fury had 'accidentally' left behind, pointed it at the pinhole camera, and asked in confusion:
"Thanos has been defeated, what desire do you have to come and get involved in this matter?"
"I said I couldn't hide it from him."
Patton put down some paper bags: "The food you take back might not taste that good."
"So why can't I learn from you guys and use the substitution tactic to go in and eat?" Fat Thor took a sip of beer: "Anyway, that Stark has found out."
"Maybe you should lose weight first." Thor glanced at the other's beer belly with a look of disdain: "Can you control your diet a little bit?"
"Food is the best way to relieve stress. I hope you don't have to go through what I went through." Fat Thor tore open the packing tape and started to eat.
"That means Tony Stark is the enemy." The Scarlet Witch, who was emitting a strange light, curled her lips:
"Perhaps we can take him out before we enter that world at night."
She lifted up Ultron's head with the Mind Gem embedded in its forehead, opened the steel mask, and revealed a face identical to Vision's.
"Don't worry, dear. I will definitely bring you back." Wanda gently stroked the head and said, "And the children too."
"And Natasha, bring her back too," Barton said.
"Wanda, don't forget our agreement and don't use the power of the Darkhold at will." Doctor Strange from 2023 warned.
After Thanos was defeated and taken into custody, Stephen Strange listened to Tony and others talk about their own experiences and the origins of Tony, who crushed Thanos with one punch.
Excluding the possibility that Tony Stark fixed the game, the only possibility is a parallel universe.
But the time machine shows that all values are normal.
So after returning to Kamar-Taj, he looked for relevant clues and finally found an introduction to the Holy Grail War in a taboo catalog:
[The Holy Grail hidden outside all multiverse dimensions will randomly select a world as an anchor point after being charged to a certain level. The time point where the anchor point is located will be completely independent from the timeline.]
He originally wanted to keep this secret hidden, but while he was preparing for the Holy Grail War, Wanda was so grief-stricken that she began using forbidden witchcraft in the multiverse.
In order to temporarily appease her and to slowly resolve the witchcraft on her, I had to tell her the ritual of this universal wishing machine.
Tony, with white hair, turned around from his ergonomic chair: "So the other me is a Heroic Spirit?"
"No, he is just a human, a human with great power. As a spirit, I can be sure of this." Natasha smiled.
Her figure began to blur and turned into an old man in a robe with a white beard, tall and thin figure, and bright eyes.
"And the Supreme Sorcerer who is the judge of this world. I am a female, but I am also a human."
"Gu Yi, are there any heroic spirits in that restaurant?"
Doctor Strange questioned Caster, whom he summoned.
"I haven't found anything yet." The old man smiled and said:
"But the red-haired chef in that restaurant is no ordinary person. He must be a participant in the Holy Grail War."
"I just love his craftsmanship." Fat Thor shook his head: "Can't we cooperate?"
"We need to first confirm the rank of the Heroic Spirit they summoned. Each rank can only have one wish, and the rest are enemies." The old man released a projection with his hands:
"Normally, we would only consider absorbing the other party's spiritual base or stigmata to strengthen ourselves."
on the screen.
In the early morning, the port is illuminated by stars.
A scene where an extremely huge red devil and Doctor Strange broke through numerous dimensions and bombarded each other with many spells.
Each spell can destroy stars, and even galaxies and dimensional spaces will be completely torn apart.
During this period, they were also affected as they were encircling and suppressing "Ultron". However, due to the strong light pollution at that time, they did not see clearly who launched such an attack.
It was not until now that the old man Gu Yi revealed the other party's identity.
"I really want to form an alliance with this Strange, but that's impossible because he is also a Caster." The old man Ancient One chuckled.
"So." Fat Thor treated this scene as a movie and ate the sandwich in his hand with relish. He patted the stunned Doctor Strange and asked:
"Stephen, did you have any opinions about us before?"
Huai Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the sunset in the sky and felt that it was another fulfilling day.
"It's finally closing time, let's go back quickly."
At night, New York City is filled with the atmosphere of nuclear peace and nuclear tomb. Good children must return to Stark Tower as soon as possible.
As we all know, the Holy Grail War takes place secretly at night.
Heroic spirits and masters from different timelines can only respond to the call and enter New York in the otherworldly state at sunset.
Nothing will change, just to maintain stealth, the New York citizens who are killed will forget what happened after they are refreshed.
Even so, today's TV still broadcast news that a citizen fell into the water last night and three American captains bravely jumped into the river to save him; a gangster who robbed a store was beaten by more than 20 superheroes; a bank was visited by hundreds of super-powered gangsters and then an internal fight broke out.
Although Huai Shi couldn't understand why these villains were still thinking about robbing banks during the Holy Grail War.
But when he thought of the Infinite Ultron, Scarlet Witch, Doctor Strange, and the Lord of Hell who appeared yesterday, he still felt a little scared.
It’s only the first night and things are already getting so serious. What kind of monsters and demons will appear later?
"Slip away."
The tall buildings in the city over there were also shrouded in orange light, the glass curtain walls reflected dazzling light, and the red sun just stopped in the middle of the building.
"A solitary smoke rises straight up a thousand feet, and the sun sets over the long river."
Huai Shi couldn't help but recite a poem: "What a big bird, flying and flying"
But what kind of bird can fly so fast, comparable to a fighter jet?
Huai Shi looked out for a moment, and the birds flapping their wings and soaring in the sky became clearer and clearer, and then he realized:
Oh, it turns out to be a crow.
I once had a crow, but it flew away and never came back. This scene makes me miss it.
Snapped--!
Ignoring obstacles and space, the bird-wing fan made a crisp sound on Huai Shi's face.
“Hiss.” Huai Shi covered her left face with tears in the corners of her eyes. “Come back if you want, why are you hitting me?!”
Snapped--!
Crow dropped a few bottles and cans, bent his head, and asked, "Little bitch, you didn't go out to seduce women while I was away, did you?"
"A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!" Huai Shi's eyes flashed with anger, and he covered his right cheek: "I'm warning you for the last time"
Snapped--!
".What are these things?"
"Heart-Shaped Herb Decoction, Extremis Virus Serum, GH325, and Super Soldier Serum. I brought them for you when I went on a trip."
The crow laughed disdainfully.
"I've only heard of traveling frogs." Huai Shi widened his eyes and muttered to himself, "I've never heard of traveling crows?"
The huge bird wings raised up, and Huai Shi's neck shrank in fear.
"Wrong sister!"
But this time the bird's wing did not fall down, but instead lifted his chin.
"Just follow me and you'll have everything you want, understand?" The crow looked at him coldly.
"I understand." Huai Shi swallowed hard and said:
"Male virtue, male virtue, crooked goodness."
