Chapter: 298

With the sudden appearance of this scepter, all of Mark's carefully planned actions were declared completely shattered.

Under the influence of the scepter's power, the Hulk also fell into a state of total rage, and the previously stable situation in the laboratory spiraled into an uncontrollable chaos.

In the confined space of the laboratory, the Hulk's desire to destroy became unstoppable.

He tore open a gap in the energy shielding field created by the scepter, thrust his hand into it, and then exerted force on both sides, ripping open a large hole in the energy shield.

He then quickly left the laboratory, charging towards the densely populated city center.

"Dad, quickly establish a connection with Veronica and activate the Hulkbuster Armor and emergency plan!"

Seeing this scene, Mark knew that the worst thing he had feared had happened, and all he could do was to minimize the damage caused by it.

Upon receiving Mark's command, Tony didn't respond but immediately flew out from the torn exit of the Hulk, responding with action.

After Tony followed the Hulk, Mark finally turned his attention back to the battlefield within the laboratory. Besides Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, there was another person, the assailant who had used the scepter to ambush the Hulk.

Before Mark could analyze this person's origins, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch had already started fighting the other Avengers.

Captain America kept engaging Quicksilver, preventing him from approaching other team members, while Hawkeye stuck to the original plan and kept firing arrows in an attempt to hinder Scarlet Witch's use of her abilities on the others.

"Natasha, Thor, leave Wanda to me and Hawkeye. You deal with the person in the hood."

Seeing Hawkeye struggling against Scarlet Witch, Mark quickly swapped positions with the others and went to Hawkeye's side to assist him in facing Scarlet Witch.

To be honest, Scarlet Witch, possessing telekinesis, a versatile power, though not reaching the level of her bug-like abilities in the original comic, was undoubtedly a formidable opponent for Hawkeye, who relied solely on archery and combat skills.

Mark's presence helped alleviate the pressure brought on by the formidable opponent. Standing beside Hawkeye, he constantly shielded him from Scarlet Witch's attacks, allowing Hawkeye to focus entirely on shooting arrows and launching threatening offensives.

However, the enemy soon realized that continuing like this put them at a significant disadvantage. So, the three of them gradually tried to converge towards the center, slowly merging the previously dispersed three battlefields.

This further intensified the already chaotic situation. Hawkeye's arrows were occasionally controlled by Scarlet Witch's telekinesis, guiding them to attack Thor and Natasha. Thor's flying hammer, when misdirected, accidentally hit Mark and Hawkeye, and even Captain America, moving at high speed, was not exempt from the interference.

Seizing this opportunity, Quicksilver quickly broke free from Captain America's entanglement and started assisting Scarlet Witch in subjecting the Avengers to her mind control.

And this move proved effective. Captain America and Natasha were successively affected, and even Thor couldn't escape the disruptive outcome. In an instant, except for Hawkeye and Mark, all members of the Avengers lost their ability to fight, succumbing to their inner fears.

Hawkeye, having been under Loki's scepter control before, developed a more powerful psychological defense mechanism and resistance.

As a powerful sorcerer at the level of a Supreme, Mark, combined with the emotional interference shield implemented by nanobots in his body, was immune to Scarlet Witch's mind control.

Although they could still continue fighting, Hawkeye couldn't provide assistance to Mark while protecting the three individuals under Scarlet Witch's mind control.

Having one combatant against the enemy's three, with Ultron lurking in the shadows, made Mark's situation extremely challenging.

Moreover, in this confined space, Mark couldn't use the ultra-high-temperature ability acquired from the Ultimate transformation as it might harm their immobilized teammates.

Similarly, he couldn't employ magical spells, not only due to the rules of Kamar-Taj but also for his own consideration. The situation hadn't reached a critical point where he needed to expose his trump card.

Thus, Mark's only option was to protect his side's as much as possible from incurring losses in this failed operation. As for the initial objective of capturing the enemies, it seemed impossible now.

"Hawkeye, take care of the affected teammates and try to help them recover. See if you can knock their heads to bring them back. I remember Natasha did the same for you when you were under Loki's control. I believe you have experience.

As for the three on the other side, leave them to me."

"Alright, be careful. My years of experience as a special agent tell me that the hooded mysterious person is not simple," Hawkeye cautioned Mark.

Mark nodded and focused his attention on the three opponents in front of him.

For Mark, who had a brain with extra capabilities, multitasking was not a difficult task.

With his current physical condition and brain utilization rate, when he activated the time acceleration module within the nanobots, he could achieve a time acceleration of 3000 times in comparison to real-time.

In this accel world, he could effortlessly handle simultaneous attacks from all enemies and counter Quicksilver's high-speed assaults.

However, what Mark didn't expect was that, despite their complete disadvantage, the enemy seemed to have no intention of continuing their offensive against him.

He could understand the twins' choice as they were fundamentally kind-hearted. Although they often talked about seeking revenge against Tony for the devastation he caused to their family, they still were not able to bring themselves to take a life.

But the mysterious hooded person's lack of action puzzled Mark. Ultron had initially stated that the Avengers were an obstacle to Earth entering an era of peace and must be eliminated.

If Ultron remained resolute in executing Tony's original goal of creating peace for the world, then its actions shouldn't waver.

However, based on today's performance, the overall behavior didn't align with Mark's impression of Ultron's style.

Moreover, it seemed that this enigmatic person, who kept their true identity hidden, was the true mastermind behind the three of them. "What is going on here?"
