Chapter 179: Infinity Ultron (1)

In the bar, several people were waiting for him.

The problem was, he knew all these people.

Black Panther T'Challa, Gamora, Erik Kilmonger, Thor, and his old friend, Carter.

Of course, although these people were almost identical to the ones he knew, there were still some differences.

For example, Carter was big and strong, and she wore a suit with the British flag on it. She also carried Steve's shield.

Kilmonger wore Black Panther's suit, while Black Panther himself wore the Ravager's clothes, with Star-Lord's gun.

And what was up with Thor, tapping his feet and keeping the beat?

In any case, everyone here was different from the people Jack knew. It was obvious that the Watcher had brought these people from other universes to help him.

However...

Jack couldn't help but notice that among these people, besides Thor who could put up a fight, the others might die to handle the six-gem-powered Ultron, let alone Thor himself.

There was no doubt that each of them was strong, but as guardians of the multiverse, they fell a little short.

Only Thor and Doctor Strange are almost good enough to face Ultron with all six Infinity Stones. The others might risk getting injured.

Jack thought to himself that, since he knew how powerful the Infinity Stones were, he could already beat these people if he just took in one Space Stone.

If all six gems were used against Ultron...

He turned his head towards the Watcher and asked in a low voice,

"Are you sure these are the team you found? I feel like I'm here to clean up after them."

Jack spoke softly, but unfortunately, the place was too small, and the people in front of him heard it loud and clear.

"Hey! Although I don't know who you are, you're quite arrogant."

Thor was the first to lose his temper.

He was quick to anger and did not have a sharp brain.

He didn't appreciate Jack's impression of him and immediately raised Mjolnir, ready to teach him a lesson.

The others remained somewhat calm, but there was a hint of displeasure on their faces, and their gazes towards Jack turned hostile.

Even Black Widow frowned.

Among them, only Doctor Strange knew how strong Jack was.

Seeing Thor seemed ready to pick a fight, he instinctively intervened and advised,

"Uh... you better think twice..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a portal appeared beneath Thor's feet without anyone noticing.

He stepped into thin air and fell.

Jack calmly waved his hand, and the portal disappeared immediately.

"..."

This sudden turn of events left everyone dumbfounded. It happened so quickly that they couldn't see what had happened.

Jack raised his hand and waved at the Watcher.

"You see that? You thought Thor would be a useful help? Well, think again."

Thor was definitely strong, but his flaws were just as dangerous.

The Watcher sighed in frustration and said,

"I only have a short amount of time to find them. Bringing these people here from their own universes is not as easy as you might think."

Jack didn't fully get the meaning behind those words, nor did he want to.

Instead, he asked, "Alright, what's your plan now? Are we going to confront Ultron directly?"

"Yes,"

The Watcher nodded, "to deal with Ultron, we have no choice but to confront him directly. Any other plans would be unnecessary."

"I agree,"

Jack nodded, fully convinced.

Even though he didn't know how strong Ultron was with all six Infinity Stones, it was clear that Ultron wasn't weaker than him.

He was confident in manipulating these people, let alone Ultron.

So far, he was uneasy about whether these people could push Ultron to a desperate situation.

"We have to go,"

When the Watcher waved his hand, a portal opened up in the bar.

Doctor Strange was the first to step through, followed closely by the others.

Realizing that it was impossible they could stop or change their minds at this point, they had no choice but to get on this disaster.

Stepping through the portal, Jack found himself on a mountain.

As he got closer to the edge of the mountain, he saw a huge forest he had never seen before.

Clearly, they were on an alien planet, but even though they had been there for a long time, Jack had never felt life in this world.

In fact, this world should have a lot of plants and animals because its natural environment is so good.

But in Jack's perception, there was not even a single insect, let alone animals.

"Fascinating,"

Jack almost instantly guessed what had happened.

He turned to look at Doctor Strange, who clearly knew why this was the case, his expression becoming serious.

Jack had a question ever since he listened to the Watcher's story.

Since Ultron already possessed all six Infinity Stones, why didn't he just snap his fingers like Thanos and wipe out all life in the universe?

Why did he choose to conquer one planet after another?

At first, Jack thought Ultron went through such trouble to demonstrate something, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

After realizing what had happened here, he had new guesses.

Ultron was actually adapting to the immense power brought by the six stones.

Frankly speaking, his physical body was not as strong as Thanos', unable to withstand the energy impact caused by the six Infinity Stones.

In other words, he needed to adjust. Only by controlling the surging energy inside his body could he achieve his goal with a snap.

And now, it was clear that he had achieved that.

This was not good news.

You see, using the Infinity Stones and mastering them are two different concepts.

Jack had confidence in dealing with the use, but if it was mastering them...

He had to think whether he should clean up and run.

He only controlled one Space Stone, after all.

If Ultron could only use the six stones, he could still compete with him, but if the opponent was like him...

The consequences would be too bad for him to even think about.

"Don't worry, it's not that bad,"

Sensing his concerns, Doctor Strange came over to reassure him.

"If he truly possessed the power of all the Infinity Stones, he would have come for us by now."

Those words awakened Jack.

Indeed, if Ultron had really had power over all six stones, they would have been found as soon as they came into this universe and chased down.

The fact that nothing had happened for so long showed that the opponent hadn't fully mastered all the power of the stones.

Hmm, there was still a battle to be fought.

Jack nodded silently, about to say something, when suddenly, a red face appeared in the sky ahead.

It was Ultron who had taken over Vision's body.

The Mind Stone on his forehead flashed, and the five Infinity Stones on his chest were completely desperate.

"...You just had to speak up,"

Jack's face twitched as he looked at Doctor Strange.

Doctor Strange also looked at him with a pained expression.

It turned out that trouble arises from loose lips.

It's best not to talk too much.
