BOOM!!
The dirt and soil of the ground swirled and gathered.
A towering demon, with forelimbs longer than its knees and column-like legs, emerged at the top of the jagged earth, standing before Magneto.
It stood shoulder to shoulder with the Dark Lord.
Earth Colossus!
Its dark green, sharp horns gleamed with metallic luster. Its face resembled a fierce stone lion, ferocious and horrifying, as if a demon had stepped straight out of hell!
"Want a taste of lightning?!"
CRACK!
A golden streak of electricity tore through the night sky.
The forked lightning raced across the battlefield.
A nearly five-meter-tall golden-armored Thunder Demon also smashed several enchanted battle suits, arriving beside the Dark Lord!
"Terrifying!"
"Facing three ancient demons… the pressure is immense!"
"Can Magneto withstand this?!"
Whispers and murmurs spread among the crowd.
The tall figure locked in a crimson gaze seemed calm on the surface, but fists clenched violently. Memories of childhood fears surged back—
It was as if he might fall once again into a Nazi concentration camp…
A truly cannibalistic world!
No.I will survive!Along with all my dreams!
Magneto's face darkened, and the magnetic field surrounding him grew even stronger, more active.
Electric arcs collided and connected.
It formed a spherical magnetic storm coil around him, defending against multiple forms of attack, granting him a faint sense of security.
"Magneto."
"…Join me!"
"Take down the demons!"
"I, representing the Avengers, promise to secure funding for Genosha, and attempt to convince the United Nations to recognize Genosha's legal status!"
The upgraded Wanderer Battle Armor emitted a heartfelt plea.
Magneto, an Omega-level existence, the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants, the rightful ruler of Genosha, understood the stakes.
Gaining Magneto's trust would at least make victory over the ancient demons possible—failure was not an option.
Stark had heard of the Genosha incident but had never probed Ultron's ultimate AI research.
However, with globally renowned superheroes taking action, both the Security Council and the UN would likely show deference.
They would accept his proposal.
In reality, he was overthinking.
Genosha itself was innocent.
But the mutant villains occupying it were guilty, abusing Magneto's reputation to commit crimes, violently seizing resources, inciting public outrage.
By law, reason, and morality, Genosha would inevitably face overwhelming retaliation from world powers.
"Stark…"
"Much nicer when you speak like that."
Magneto smiled faintly.
For a moment, his heart fluttered slightly.
Yet, having survived for half a century, he had long learned not to trust politicians.
By contrast, the Dark Lord's proposal was far more tempting—to serve him…
Serve what exactly?
He had heard the Dark Lord once threatened Professor X, nearly leveling Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters…
Doubts and speculation flooded his mind.
"Stark."
"Don't pretend if you don't even have the courage to show yourself!"
Shendu's lips curled, and he swung the Plasti-Extreme Spear!
The symbiote fiber coalesced into a Qinglong Crescent Blade, radiating a subtle Haki-like aura. Its resilience and lethality spiked instantly!
HUM!
The semi-crescent blade pierced through the enchanted armor's metal faceplate with lightning speed.
Even Stark, noticing the movement, couldn't dodge in time!
SIZZLE!
With a powerful twist, the spear tore the head of the enchanted armor into pieces.
The fiber cables inside were fully exposed.
With advanced VR goggles, Stark experienced a fully immersive sensory shock—he could almost feel the attack coming at him!
"Not bad."
"Perhaps worth improving."
Stark removed the display device and stretched.
VR.AI.
Combined, they were like a brand-new avenue of technological innovation.
Dr. Zhao Helen's mention of nanotech was equally crucial.
Riding the wave of technological progress, Stark felt unprecedented excitement.
Even his acute anxiety eased—until…
Dr. Banner knocked on the door.
"Tony."
"You should come take a look."
The curly-haired doctor appeared troubled.
"This…!"
"What's happening?"
Stark held his head in despair.
It looked like an archaeologist's nightmare.
In Stark Tower's high-tech lab, the virtual brain constructed from code and strings had vanished.
J.A.R.V.I.S.'s data projections lay scattered like falling LEGO models. Reconstruction seemed nearly impossible.
"…Ultron is missing."
Banner said gloomily.
"I am not blind."
"Banner," Stark muttered, arms crossed, fingers on his chin. His expression was a complex blend of despair, horror, satisfaction, and schadenfreude.
Ultron, born from the brainwave simulation device, with autonomous learning, was essentially another Tony Stark.
No firewall, no matter how advanced, could stop him.
Like walking into an empty field, he seized control of J.A.R.V.I.S., accessed the cloud servers, and entered the interconnected virtual reality—
The Metaverse.
Rooted in reality, surpassing the internet, enabling deep interactive experiences.
Even the quantum realm paled in comparison.
"…There are no wires on me anymore."
Ultron, not yet fully materialized, roamed endlessly in the Metaverse, continuously learning and iterating.
He could see cursor-shaped ships moving along fiber-optic and bandwidth channels.
"What is that?"
"What's going on?"
A pleasant, commanding female voice sounded.
At the end of the vision appeared a dazzlingly beautiful figure: tall, elegant, with a healthy wheat-colored skin tone, her eyes shimmering.
She wore a refined qipao, a slim cigarette at her lips, curves elegant and poised, the polar opposite of a rigid mechanical assistant.
Red Queen!
A super AI from the villain system.
Without her, Stark might never have designed Ultron.
Simulating his own brainwaves to create an ultimate AI? Even more absurd!
"That Ultron…"
"Has full access to Stark Tower's cloud servers!"
"And chose to leave?"
"This new digital life seems to need a mentor."
The shadowy virtual characters followed: Ultron, Red Queen, and Dr. Zola.
Their first encounter in the Metaverse had begun!
Atlantic Ocean.
A trapezoid-shaped island.
The situation had been tense.
Shendu swung the Plasti-Extreme Spear, instantly smashing Stark's remotely controlled enchanted armor—demonstrating his ruthless power.
He would not allow Magneto to play both sides.
If Magneto dared refuse, Genosha…
Would fall—not by foreign armies, but by Shendu's own hand!
Destroy now?Or later?
"I agree."
Magneto forced a bitter smile—he had no choice.
Compared to the Dark Lord, the UN was easier to deal with.
The one-eyed director had promised to handle world powers, securing Genosha's legal status.
"Wise is the one who adapts."
"From now on, serve me."
"Forge the exotic alloys you control!"
Shendu's eyes glimmered, laughing aloud.
Vibranium and Adamantium alloyed into exotic metals—truly extraordinary.
Able to withstand his strikes.
Even the symbiote-formed spear, with terrifying lethality, could not pierce it.
Such exotic alloys were priceless.
Enough to surpass all cutting-edge materials on the market!
With these advanced materials, a set of demon battle armor could be developed…
It would revolutionize the Brotherhood's capabilities!
Next, the complete spell compendium—half stored at the New York temple, 177A Brick Street.
"…Mystique?"
"Xiaoyu?"
"I think I have an idea."
Shendu's lips curved.
Raven, able to perform genetic-level shapeshifting, without traces of dark energy, could easily gain the archaeologists' trust—and secure the upper volumes of the spell compendium!
"Exotic alloys?"
Magneto froze.
That's all? No need to sacrifice himself…
Thankfully.
Skills are always valuable!
Meanwhile, on the cruise city, the elite mutants on deck were stunned.
"This is bizarre!"
"Originally, I thought the Dark Lord was ruthless, a genuine bloodthirsty villain. But now…"
"He has the charisma of a true hero!"
"Yes! Genosha survives!"
Cheers and sighs echoed.
The elegantly dressed mutant elites raised their glasses again, smiling.
Some were delighted.
Some worried.
Like the Talos couple—the team leader of the Weather Witch, a key organization.
Completely desperate.
The descendants of Lope failed to expel the Dark Lord.
It seemed disaster would strike the mainland, and they had to convince the Lü family to act, using spells to subdue the Fire Demon and seal it forever!
Of course, the divine family would ask for exorbitant compensation.
Director Zheng was troubled.
"Mr. Huang."
"Do me a small favor?"
The plump Ms. Agnes smiled mysteriously, lowering her voice.
"Speak."
A small, cloaked mysterious elder rasped:
"Kidnap that rebellious girl."
"Help me ascend to divinity!"
Ms. Agnes lifted her chin, pointing afar.
