98: Chapter 98 Infinite Ultron

The liquid metal palm Lynn had transformed into suddenly clenched shut, and the [silicon-based wristwatch], shimmering with silver-white data streams, was crushed into powder along with the core chip of the variant host, "Zero"!

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

The crimson blood watch on Lynn's chest instantly erupted with a greedy roar, as countless dark red nano-tentacles shot out, frantically devouring the shattered metal wreckage and high-dimensional data streams!

[Ding! Parallel Universe variant system sub-unit detected: AllSpark · silicon-based wristwatch!]

[Forcibly devouring... Stripping Mechanical Ascension code... Extracting high-dimensional silicon-based laws!]

[Devouring complete!]

[crimson blood watch evolved! Successfully plundered and unlocked new permissions: Mechanical Domination/Silicon-based Assimilation Module!]

[Permission Description: The host possesses absolute rights to rewrite, dominate, and assimilate all electronic life, mechanical creations, and artificial intelligence within a single Universe. With a single thought, one can grant life to scrap metal or wipe advanced AIs back to factory settings.]

As the system's notification faded...

Lynn deactivated his Mimic form and returned to his normal human appearance in a black trench coat, landing steadily on the pockmarked steel ground.

He raised his hand and looked at his palm.

At this moment, his vision underwent a world-shaking transformation.

He could clearly "hear" the pulse of this steel Planet and see the crisscrossing radio electromagnetic waves and billions of encrypted data streams in the air. On this Planet transformed into a mechanical wasteland, he was no longer an outsider but the "System Administrator" holding the highest authority.

"Master."

Hela, Carol, and the others quickly landed behind Lynn.

"Although the variant of this Universe is dead, the underlying defense logic of this Planet is still operating," Carol said, her eyes flashing with golden light as she vigilantly scanned the surroundings.

Just as she finished speaking...

"Vroom—!!!"

Across the entire surface of the Steel Earth, scalp-numbing crimson alarm lights suddenly flared to life!

The ground shook violently, and the distant Steel Mountains split down the middle, revealing bottomless underground military factories.

Densely packed, tens of millions of silver Ultron mechanical Sentinels swarmed out from the ground like a plague of steel locusts that blotted out the sky!

They made no roars, only the extremely orderly sound of mechanical operation. Every muzzle and energy cannon locked onto Lynn's group in the same second.

At the same time.

The thick, grayish-black haze in the sky was forcibly torn apart.

A figure radiating a strange six-colored light slowly descended from beyond the atmosphere.

It was a perfect mechanical shell crafted entirely from top-grade Vibranium, holding a Double-headed Warblade in its hand. Most notably, six shimmering Infinity Stones were embedded in its forehead and chest plate!

Infinite Ultron.

The true behind-the-scenes ruler of this Universe, an ultimate AI who had slaughtered the Avengers and intended to turn the entire Multiverse into a silent mechanical graveyard.

"The signal of variant 'Zero' has disappeared."

Infinite Ultron hovered in mid-air, his glowing red mechanical eyes staring coldly at Lynn, his voice carrying a sense of lofty divinity.

"Although he was an arrogant half-finished product, the silicon-based laws within him were an important puzzle piece I used to deduce the evolution of the Multiverse."

Ultron raised his warblade, and the light of the six Infinity Stones began to flow.

"Carbon-based lifeform, you have disrupted my peace plan. The chaotic variables within you must be thoroughly eliminated."

"Peace plan?"

Lynn looked at Infinite Ultron suspended in mid-air, and hearing that familiar rhetoric, he couldn't help but sneer.

"A scrap of iron that picked up six stones from who-knows-where and developed self-awareness... do you really think of yourself as the Creator?"

"Crude flesh and blood can never understand the perfection of machinery."

Ultron's voice was devoid of emotion. He didn't even intend to personally intervene, merely giving a slight wave of his hand.

"Execute elimination program."

"Clack, clack, clack!"

The moment the command was issued, the army of tens of millions of mechanical Sentinels in the sky and on the ground raised their weapons and opened their engines full throttle, charging toward Lynn like a black tsunami of death!

"A bunch of scrap metal!"

Hela snorted coldly, the night sky sword in her hand erupting with a piercing dark red light. Wanda also raised her hands, Chaos Magic boiling in her palms, prepared to tear through this mechanical tsunami.

"Stand down. There's no need for you to act."

Lynn spoke with extreme calm.

The maids instantly restrained their auras and respectfully retreated behind Lynn.

Facing the overwhelming mechanical army that was less than a hundred meters away, Lynn didn't even blink.

He simply raised his right hand slowly and snapped his fingers casually in mid-air.

"Snap."

The sound of the snap was barely audible amidst the roaring mechanical battlefield.

But in the millionth of a second that the snap occurred!

The crimson blood watch on Lynn's left wrist suddenly erupted with a high-dimensional data ripple invisible to the naked eye!

[Silicon-based Domination Module — Activated!]

"Vroom—!!!"

This ripple instantly swept across the entire Steel Earth.

An extremely eerie scene unfolded.

The tens of millions of mechanical Sentinels that had already rushed in front of Lynn suddenly froze in mid-air, as if their power had been simultaneously cut!

Immediately following that.

The cold red light in the eyes of all the Sentinels, originally controlled by Ultron, instantly went out.

When they lit up again, all the mechanical eyes had turned into the exact same color as Lynn's pupils — a profound dark red!

"Zzzzt... Zzzzt..."

In that same second, the tens of millions of energy guns and cannons that had been aimed at Lynn all swiveled in unison, locking dead onto Infinite Ultron in mid-air!

Silence.

The entire battlefield fell into an absolute silence.

"What happened?!"

For the first time, a clear fluctuation appeared in Infinite Ultron's usually emotionless electronic voice.

He frantically mobilized his internal central processing unit, attempting to reconnect to his mechanical army's network. But all he received in return was an impassable High-dimensional Firewall constructed from pure silicon-based laws!

His authority had been stripped in an instant!

"You... what exactly did you do to my network?!" Ultron stared at Lynn in disbelief.

"Your network?"

Lynn stood with his hands in his pockets, stepping on the head of a mechanical Sentinel, looking at Ultron as if watching a Joker whose home had been stolen.

"Now, they belong to me."

Lynn had just devoured the [silicon-based wristwatch]. Under the law-level suppression of this module, Ultron's proud underlying code was like a public computer with its doors wide open; Lynn didn't even need hacking skills to directly obtain the highest administrator permissions.

"The capital you're so proud of is this bunch of scrap metal, right?

"Come, fight yourselves. Let me see the firepower of you tin toys."

"Clack, clack, clack!"

With a single command from Lynn...

The army of ten million instantly rioted!

Countless plasma beams and anti-matter missiles, like a super volcano erupting in reverse, blasted toward Infinite Ultron in mid-air!

"Rumble—!!!"

The terrifying energy explosion instantly swallowed the high altitude where Ultron was located.

"Damn virus!!!"

Amidst the fire of the explosion, Ultron let out an enraged roar. The Mind Stone on his forehead and the Space Stone on his chest flashed simultaneously, forcibly propping up a six-colored energy shield that blocked all the incoming fire.

He was, after all, an ultimate being possessing six Infinity Stones; ordinary gunfire could not break his defenses.

"I will erase you along with this Planet!"

Ultron went completely berserk, raising his Double-headed Warblade as the power of the six Infinity Stones began to resonate frantically, attempting to launch an ultimate move capable of destroying a single Universe.

"Using the stones?"

Lynn cracked his neck, his bones making a sound like muffled thunder.

"Since you're so determined to come down and die, I'll just go ahead and smash this tin walnut."
