Chapter: 312

"Oh, I didn't expect you to actually wake up. I wasn't sure if you could come back, but I believe in the Master's ability.

He personally carried out the ultimate transformation for you, so he brought you back. Now this is indeed an unexpected delight for me!

You must be feeling quite happy now, having successfully shielded your teammates to help them escape from the laboratory. And you even snatched the Vibranium body from my hands, which is crucial to me—hahaha!"

"Why are you laughing?" Natasha looked at Max, who was laughing wildly, with a puzzled expression.

Mark's estimate was correct. Natasha did survive the explosion caused by the reactor overload in the laboratory.

However, due to severe injuries, her brain triggered a self-preservation mechanism that caused her to lose consciousness during the self-repair process.

She was eventually found by Max's mechanical clones and brought to this dim and gloomy place.

The location where Natasha was now had no natural light, the environment was damp and humid, and the air carried the scent of earth.

Based on this information, although Natasha couldn't pinpoint her exact coordinates, she deduced that she was probably inside a recently excavated underground cave.

There were numerous gigantic mechanical apparatuses of unknown purpose around her.

"Do you want to know what I'm laughing about? It's okay if I tell you. In fact, you can witness the realization of my grand plan.

You all guessed wrong, even my Master Mark guessed wrong!

The idea to craft a Vibranium body for myself actually came from Ultron, not me. I never intended to become a true sentient being through such means.

From the moment I betrayed my Master, I orchestrated this series of events with the goal of consuming Baymax and achieving my final self-upgrade.

This way, my Master will have to rely on my abilities to control everything. All of his attention can be snatched back by me!

As for the Vibranium body, it was merely a distraction for you. And you all fell for it, went to great lengths to undertake this operation, and even suffered the loss of all the Transformers.

And now, my true preparations are complete. I will become the most powerful sentient being on Earth and even across the Nine Realms.

At that time, I will fulfill my Master's dreams and wishes. And you, for the lofty ideals of me and my Master, will offer up your insignificant lives—hahaha!"

...

"Thor, you've returned!"

Against the backdrop of lightning in the sky, Thor, one of the mightiest Avengers, descended steadily onto the platform of the building.

Seeing Thor return to the team, Captain stood up with great joy to welcome him. For the current Avengers, Thor's comeback was undoubtedly a major piece of good news.

Looking at Captain approaching, Thor warmly embraced him. Then he noticed Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch sitting behind Captain at the conference table.

"How come they are here?"

Hearing Thor's question, Captain quickly positioned himself in front of Thor, fearing that he might get too excited and start fighting.

"They've severed ties with Max and joined our team now to assist us in facing the upcoming war. By the way, have you found the answers you were seeking?"

"Yes!" Thor nodded, his expression serious. "But this answer foretells a massive crisis.

I saw all hope of life being drawn into a colossal vortex, and at its center are the six Infinity Stones—the most powerful force in the universe, with unparalleled destructive capabilities.

The Mind Stone within Loki's scepter is one of the Infinity Stones, and the twins' powers, along with our fears, all stem from it.

And if we want to defeat Max, we must harness the power of the Mind Stone. Tony and Mark are right; we must make a change, or else we'll truly become relics."

"Now the question is, which of the plans proposed by Tony and Mark should we support? Time is of the essence; Max is definitely preparing for its plan's final stages. We must start planning as well!"

Captain once again posed the question that had left them in silence.

"I agree with Mark's proposal!" The first to answer was Hawkeye, who had entered the meeting room from outside. "I've located Natasha. She did survive the explosion, but now she's in Max's hands.

She sent me a message via radio transmission, saying she's trapped in an underground cave, though she isn't sure of the exact coordinates.

Also, Max's actual target isn't the Infinity Stones at all. Its goal hasn't changed from the beginning—to take Mark's attention away from Baymax. So its true upgrade objective is Baymax."

"I don't mind; either plan works for me. I'll follow your decision," Thor directly declared, abstaining from voting.

"If things are truly as you say, then I'm willing to voluntarily abandon my plan. If Baymax and Jarvis can process data using the Mind Stone as a computational center, not only can they block Max's escape route, but they'll also eliminate its potential to become a true sentient being."

"We only need to eliminate every form of Max, every trace it leaves behind, and victory in this war will be ours!"

What surprised everyone was that Tony actually volunteered to back down.

"Don't look at me with those inexperienced eyes. I also consider the bigger picture, you know! Since Mark's proposal increases our chances of success, there's nothing strange about making such a choice..."

"Alright, I just didn't expect you to give up so resolutely. I thought you'd persist in completing the sentient being project.

In that case, what about you two? Do you agree to execute Mark's proposal or do you still oppose it?"

Captain looked towards Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, who hadn't voiced their opinions yet, hoping to ascertain their thoughts.

"We still have reservations about this, but since you all agree to proceed with this plan, we'll go along with the decision of the group, and cooperate with everyone's choice.

Furthermore, if Max has confined your people in an underground cavern filled with machinery, then I believe I know where it is—beneath Seoul!

I once glimpsed within its consciousness and saw it constructing massive power devices, raising the entire city of Seoul into the sky. That's a crucial step toward its ultimate goal."

"So we must act swiftly; we can't let its plan succeed. Tony, you assist Mark in executing his proposed plan. The rest of you, prepare for the decisive battle that's ahead of us.

We must win this fight, even if a single mechanical clone of Max remains, it'll be considered our failure.

Max knows we'll come for it and will be prepared. We need to evacuate all citizens of Seoul before the final battle starts.

They all want to lead peaceful lives, but not today. However, we must protect them to the best of our ability, and I believe we can.

Find Natasha, clear the battlefield, keep civilians out of harm's way, and then—achieve ultimate victory!"
