Chapter 555: Bad Story (Part 2)_2
Shiller also nodded, not really taking the matter seriously. Despite Ultron's frequent appearances in the original work, he often failed.
His attributes of infinite evolution were somewhat similar to Doomsday from DC, but far less powerful. Right now, the egg of Doomsday was still in his hands. If the situation really became unbearable, he could release a Doomsday, let the two of them fight internally, see who would evolve faster, then shift the battlefield millions of light-years away to annoy the Purple Sweet Potato Spirit.
While Shiller and Strange were sitting in the Stark Building drinking calmly, it was not so tranquil at the New York Highway Junction.
With a loud "bang", a shining shield flew between the roads, throwing an unmanned car out. The car's lights flashed twice, like the lonely ghost fire in the pitch-black night sky.
More cars rushed towards them, a shadow swung over, standing in the middle of the road, stopping the sprinting sports car, without budging an inch.
Spider Man, with both hands on the vehicle's bumper, lifted it upwards harshly. After grabbing the car, he swung it around and threw the next car away.
It was well into the night, by rights, there shouldn't be so many cars on the highway into New York city. Clearly, they were controlled by something.
"Find him!" Steve shouted, "He must be hiding somewhere!"
Spider Man squinted, focusing his attention, suddenly, he turned his head to look at a silhouette standing at the toll gate of the highway entrance.
Feeling discovered, the shadow quickly ran towards the center of New York City. Without Steve having to take command, all of them started pursuing that shadow.
Steve accelerated first, then threw his shield with a swing of his hand. But, the figure, as though having predicted his move, dodged the shield with a roll to the side. Immediately afterwards, it climbed onto a tall building with three strides in two steps, and started to run on the rooftop.
Spider Man was always closely following him, using the Spider Silk Launcher as a firing weapon in an attempt to disrupt his actions. Yet the figure didn't fall for it.
As the light from the building flickered by, everyone saw that the figure, not much different from them, was actually a robot.
It was matte carbon black, some parts were a dull silver, the mechanical structure seemed very simple, with no exposed wires, the size and limb proportions matched that of a human.
"Ultron?! What's happening? Didn't they say his body was made of Vibranium?" Spider Man exclaimed in confusion, "Is this some sort of Vibranium alloy? Why does it feel so different?"
Despite his confusion, he still pursued the figure fervently. Spider Man was faster than Ultron, but Ultron was able to accurately dodge Spider Man's interceptions, as if he could predict Spider Man's actions.
Watching his direction of progress, Spider Man was even more puzzled, he said: "Where is he running to? Is that the direction of the Holy Sanctuary?"
Just then, another figure dropped from the sky, blocking Spider Man, Steve, and the rest of The Avengers.
It was Stark, aka Iron Man. An anxious Spider Man said: "Mr. Stark! What are you doing?! We have to chase after that robot. It's dangerous!!"
Stark looked left and right, then held up a finger in front of his mouth in a 'hush' gesture.
He landed, waved to the others to come over. Once they gathered in a circle, Stark clapped his hands, and said: "Listen, I have a plan..."
Shiller and Strange, standing in front of the French windows at the top of Stark Building, watched the tiny shadow heading straight for the Holy Sanctuary. Strange sighed with relief: "See? He isn't as formidable as we thought. Isn't he just a fish on the hook?"
"Never mind, I'll go over just in case. Don't want the Proxy Agents fighting and involving the civilians."
Having said that, Strange turned around and left, leaving only Shiller alone standing in front of the French windows, observing the scene there.
But not long after Strange left, the situation changed. The shadow passed by the Holy Sanctuary, but did not stop. Instead, it continued running straight forward. Judging from its direction, if it passed the Holy Sanctuary and continued in a straight line, it would head straight for the Stark Building.
As it approached the nearby area of the Stark Building, Ultron suddenly accelerated, rushing over with a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.
Shiller immediately turned around, but the expected alarm didn't sound, and the safety defense measures did not react either.
Shiller reached out, a umbrella appeared in his hand, the tip of the umbrella shimmered with a hidden blade.
Suddenly, a "beep beep" sounded, and the lights of the entire Stark Building suddenly lit up, illuminating the surrounding night sky as bright as daylight.
Shiller was dazzled by the sudden light. When his vision recovered, a shadow was standing at the door, it was Ultron.
Staring at the robot at the entrance, Shiller was a bit surprised. Because the robot was surprisingly handsome, shiny and new, dressed in a shirt, waistcoat, suit trousers, and leather shoes.
"Boom!"
Countless streamers were sprayed from the ceiling, covering Shiller. He looked around in surprise, and then, a birthday song started to play.
Ahead of Shiller, the ceiling opened, and a metal frame fell in front of him. On it was an enormous three-layer cake. On the surface of the cake was written, "Schiller Rodriguez - Happy Birthday."
