Chapter 158 : Anxious!

[No massive zombie waves, only the echoes of hunger persistently resonate!]

[On the flip side, as Ultron submerged, Strange and the others swiftly retreated!

[The very next moment they departed,

[A violent explosion erupted, fiery flames soared into the sky, and numerous zombies met a violent demise!]

[Yet, amidst the smoke, a scarlet glow emanated!"

Zombie Wanda, with a fierce expression, emerged, raising her hand, bombarding Ultron with terrifying chaos magic!!)

[In the chaotic torrent of crimson, the five gem-clad Ultron experienced a decline for the first time, unable to withstand the onslaught!"

(However, an unexpected turn of events unfolded immediately!]

[Zombie Wanda unmistakably recognized Vision's form beneath Ultron's armor and halted, withholding her chaos magic!"

[However, her thoughts were evidently perplexed; the two were not the same person!"

[Ultron, no longer perturbed by the immense energy, rose angrily at this moment!"

[In the next instant, a violent burst of energy shattered and disintegrated the entire planet in the explosion!!)

"Poor Wanda, Thanos wouldn't even know how to approach and console her." Deadpool sighed, uttering something cryptic.

Tony stroked his chin thoughtfully, paying no attention to Deadpool's eccentric words.

If Ultron, with all six gems, wields such formidable power, what if Vision possesses them?

Could it potentially rupture the absolute temporal point and bring about universal harmony?

Maybe allowing non-carbon-based entities to wield the six Infinity Stones is the key to salvation!!

At this moment, Tony's heart trembled slightly!

[The screen dims, and when it brightens again, Strange and the others have arrived in Ultron's original universe!)

[However, just as T'Challa extended her hands, the soul gem was seized by Black Widow, who was unexpectedly killed halfway!)

[As Strange was about to intervene, Captain Cassiope successfully earned Black Widow's trust with a few words. "

[And at this very moment, Ultron swiftly followed!!]

"How is this possible?"

Ancient One's eyes reflected utter bewilderment!

Without the transformative amalgamation of the six gems, why can Ultron breach the boundaries of the universe?

This defies all explanation!

Suddenly, Ancient One was startled!

She entertained a possibility.

What if this universe is Ultron's own realm, and it won't reject Ultron's return?

But that raises another question, why would the Watcher allow this?

It seems like an idle move!

Wouldn't it be better to jump to another universe, destroy the Soul Gem, and then strategize to defeat the weakened Ultron?

Can't the Watcher themselves handle the Ultron with the Five Gems?

At that moment, Ancient One shivered inexplicably and didn't dare to dwell on it!

[The battle commences!

[Angry Ultron shows no restraint this time, releasing energy capable of obliterating the entire solar system!]

[The violent light illuminates the universe, and the terrifying waves shake the entire solar system!)

[Captain America and others are utterly defenseless; they can only resist with the magical armor provided by Strange!)

[But in the face of such terrifying energy, resistance is futile; death is inevitable!]

[Just when everyone was in despair, the terrifying waves suddenly vanish!]

[The light that spread across the entire solar system retracts in an instant!]

[Everyone turns to witness Strange absorbing the energy that could effortlessly annihilate the solar system!!)

[This sight leaves a profound impact on everyone's hearts!]

[Compared to Strange, they are like five useless henchmen, the gap is insurmountable!]

[The assault persists; everyone collaborates, leaving Ultron no time to react!)

(The timing and coordination of all attacks are impeccable, working in harmony!)

"Enough!"!)

[Ultron roars, and the time gem erupts in green light!]

[Suddenly, all movements around him, except for himself, come to a significant halt, and various attacks cease!]

[Ultron easily seizes the soul gem, but just as he intends to reposition the gem, a tentacle with a chaotic aura wraps around his arm!)

[Time Gems aren't exclusive to you!]

[Ultron glances at the source of the voice, spotting a green light on Strange's body simultaneously, revealing the presence of the Time Stone!)

[In the next moment, the two time gems nullify each other, breaking the time deceleration!]

[With the failure of the time gem, the power gem and reality gem in Ultron's chest start flashing!]

[Suddenly, his body undergoes rapid growth, transforming into a colossal mountain!

[A tremendous sense of oppression engulfs Black Widow, Star Lord, and others, rendering their fight seemingly inconsequential!]

[Simultaneously, countless colossal tentacles emerge, entwining around Ultron's form!)

[At the same time, Strange once again assumes his demonic form, as myriad forces blend together to form an enormous magic circle beneath Ultron's feet!]

[BOOM!]

[The entire planet shook violently as the immensely colossal Ultron rapidly diminished within the clutches of the beholder tentacles, crashing onto the magic circle!]

[In an instant, a series of golden rings controlled Ultron's limbs, and the chain that extended simultaneously was held in the hands of Captain America and others!]

[Observing Ultron completely under control, Gamora retrieved the infinite destroyer and began dismantling the infinite gems!]

[For a moment, the dawn of victory approached!]

Countless viewers were astonished, and indeed, everything still hinged on Dark Strange!

A myriad of potent magics lay at his fingertips!

Off-screen, it would be disingenuous for Strange to claim disinterest. After all, almost all of Kama Taj's white magic spells were borrowed and did not truly belong to him!

However, becoming a demon mage was a risk he could not afford.

Deadpool, next to him, was already inebriated, muttering to himself with a lament in his mouth:

"DC, why did you make Green Lantern so awful? Otherwise, I'd be a special effects boss by now!"

The video seemed to conclude at this point, but just when everyone thought it was about to end, something unexpected occurred!

[The Infinite Destroyer exploded but failed to obliterate the six Infinity Gems!]

[In the next moment, the horrifying Ultron with the six gems reappeared!]

["You! Only you!"]

[Ultron stared at Strange and declared:]

["Other people are trash; as long as I kill you, everything will be concluded!!]

[The voice fell, and a blazing golden energy erupted from Ultron! ]

[In an instant, everything within its influence was annihilated, and Gamora and the others could only withstand it beneath the magical armor! ]

[This is why Ultron's primary power focused on Dark Strange!]

[However, just at this moment, Black Widow, whom he thought was a non-factor, shot a lethal arrow!]

[With the cooperation of Captain America, the arrow containing the Zola virus was lodged into Ultron's right eye! ]

[The black energy advanced, and within Ultron's body, a struggle ensued between Ultron and Dr. Zola!]

[In the blink of an eye, the Ultron system crashed!]

[Yet, at this moment, Erik Killmonger stepped forward and utilized the remaining skull of the Ultron Sentinel to absorb all six gems!]

[But the next moment, the body possessed by Dr. Zola stood up, and the six gems flew towards him!]

[The six gems incessantly oscillated between the two, and in this critical moment, Strange fired once more!]

[Strange, having reached the pinnacle of spatial mastery, created a pocket universe enveloping the two!]

[And a vanished Watcher reappeared, golden energy in hand, pouring it into the pocket universe! ]

Off-screen, countless viewers immediately noticed the anomaly!

Outside the pocket universe, time flowed normally, but within, time virtually froze at the instant when the two vied for the gems!

[Finally, Doctor Strange, having long lost everything, became the steward of pocket universe!]

[His sole task in his extensive life was to prevent the two inside from escaping!)]

Off-screen, Ancient One let out a protracted sigh!

Not because the crisis of success had been averted, but because she perceived the dreadful design of the Watcher!

Summoning Thor was to lure Ultron!

Summoning Star Lord to pilfer gems and then returning to Ultron's original universe,

The Summoning of Black Widow was also for the Zola virus-laden arrow!!

Gamora was summoned to retrieve the Soul Stone!

Summoning Erik Killmonger was to contain Zola, creating a situation where the six gems had no masters, and the two confronted each other!

Summoning Dark Strange was to possess a means to combat Ultron, along with the final pocket universe, to conclusively end everything!

Everyone played their parts to the fullest!

But none of it mattered!!!

Ancient One lowered her head to conceal the fear in her eyes!

Because one crucial detail was overlooked.

The Ultron with the Five Gems was evidently no match for the formidable Watcher!!

So why take such meticulous steps!?

It left her feeling terrified!

All of this seemed like a tale with glaring flaws, yet someone endeavored to perfect it as much as possible!
