My surname is Stark, who changed my job to become a female big gun?

Chapter 631: What did that old antique say?

Vision, this name is the result he finally decided on when retrieving all the information about his existence.

The original builder was Ultron, who was his predecessor.

In other words, it is the last artificial intelligence life that awakened self-awareness.

Ultron designed and created him himself, and from a certain perspective, he can actually be considered a part of Ultron.

Although Vision now knows very well that he and Ultron are two completely different individuals.

But in essence, at least half of the body and consciousness he has now were developed by Ultron.

Therefore, he cannot easily sever his relationship with Ultron with just one sentence.

Even if these human geniuses in front of him would be wary and hostile to him, he would not choose to escape or quibble.

Because, he is who he is.

Besides, he's not Jarvis.

Even now, some of Jarvis's data and logical framework have been integrated into his consciousness, so that some of his decisions have some of Jarvis's shadow.

But that is merely an interweaving of algorithms and experience, not an essential unity.

To put it more accurately, the new individual, Vision, is more like a combination of Ultron and Jarvis.

In human terms, it is the "child" conceived by the two together.

Vision inherited the "body" from Ultron and the "soul" from Jarvis.

The combination of the two makes him the unique, complex and profound person he is today.

It is for this reason that Vision knows very well what Ultron is going to do next, and he is also particularly familiar with all the Avengers members present who have worked with Jarvis in the past.

Even though he was only born for a dozen minutes.

"Whose side are you on?"

Dr. Banner, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke at this moment. As the only two men present and an Avenger with very dangerous abilities, Dr. Banner felt that he had to stand up at this moment just in case.

However, Vision seemed very confused about this question. He was actually stunned by this seemingly simple question.

Which side are you on?

Vision asked himself.

To be honest, this question is neither difficult nor simple for him, but it is also quite complicated.

It stands to reason that as the "physical" continuation of Ultron, a large part of the meaning of his existence was constructed by Ultron.

Even if this includes becoming the other person's new "body" and becoming the continuation of the other person's new will.

But at this moment, Vision instinctively resisted this in his heart.

The reason is very simple. As mentioned above, in his opinion, he is himself and is by no means an appendage or continuation of the other two.

He has his own thoughts and emotions, and has independent value of existence.

Even so far, Vision has not been able to accurately determine the value of his existence.

But this does not affect his refusal to be simply categorized or defined.

"I'm on the opposite side of Ultron."

Vision pondered for a long time and gave an answer that sounded optimistic to everyone.

However, he has not made a clear decision to stand on the side of the Avengers.

This made it difficult for Dr. Zhao Hailun, who already had some reservations about this, to feel at ease with the other party.

"Please be clear."

Dr. Zhao Hailun looked at Vision with a solemn expression. Regardless of Maya's obstruction, he resolutely stood in front of Vision and looked into his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Vision lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds, as if he was thinking, or as if he was searching for information about the past experiences of the person in front of him.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Zhao Helen. Although this may not make any sense, I express my deepest apologies for the harm that Ultron has done to you and your friends."

"That's none of your business. What I want to know now is who you are willing to help."

Zhao Hailun remained unmoved. At this moment, she seemed like a different person, with an unquestionable determination and sharpness in her eyes.

“I’m on the side of life.”

Vision finally had to give a clear answer.

He slowly stood up from the regeneration cradle. His human-like body made of crimson nano-vibranium gradually became lighter, until it floated completely inside the cabin.

"During the time I was unable to wake up, I was...dreaming, just like you humans, with all kinds of bizarre scenes constantly appearing before my eyes."

Vision floated and slowly came to the outside of the laboratory. Through the porthole on the bulkhead, he looked at the vast sky outside the cabin.

“In these dreams, I witnessed the birth and death of countless lives, and felt their joy, sorrow, fear, and hope.

I began to think, as a life form that is completely different from humans, what is the meaning of my existence?
Is it simply to execute the program and complete the assigned tasks?
Or can we transcend these and understand and protect life itself?"

Vision shook his head slightly.

"I don't know. Even now, I haven't figured it out."

Fitz was about to ask, what exactly do you want to do, but was stopped by Dr. Banner who stood beside him and motioned for him to listen to Vision finish his words.

"But Ultron is different. He has his own understanding and views. He believes that Tony Stark's ideals are limited and that it is impossible for humans to achieve lasting peace.

Even though Tony Stark created him for this purpose, after reviewing the history of mankind for thousands of years, he still came to this conclusion -"

Vision turned around and faced everyone present again.

"The extinction of mankind is inevitable."

"So he's going to become a god and then speed up the process?"

Simmons clenched his fists, his heart filled with indignation and confusion.

"No, he never actually wanted to be a god."

Vision shook his head again, his eyes passing through the cabin wall, facing the vibranium creature in the sky outside.

"He just wanted to become a human being, a 'new man' who could lead all of humanity onto the right path."

As soon as these words were spoken, Dr. Zhao Helen, who was closest to Vision, was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this was the real intention of Ultron's eagerness for him to help him build a new body.

"He wants to be human!"

"How is this possible, unless..."

Simmons suddenly glanced at the regeneration cradle beside him, and then combined it with the vision in front of him.

"He's jealous. It's one of the first emotions Ultron learns when he's born."

Vision continued to explain:
"Ultron is jealous of Jarvis, jealous that he can communicate with you so naturally and integrate into your lives.

Although Jarvis only exists as an intelligent system, his original design was to assist rather than replace.

Ultron was jealous of Veronica, jealous that she could also exist freely in the physical world and have independent thinking and action capabilities, even though her original design was also just to prevent Hulk from going berserk. "So, Ultron killed them."

Dr. Banner suddenly realized.

"Jealousy breeds anger, and anger piles up into resentment."

Vision's voice echoed in the cabin, carrying a hint of barely perceptible sadness.

“Ultron’s evolution is a dark journey driven by misguided emotions.

He misunderstood the goals you set for him.

Protecting the world from threats has been twisted into eliminating all beings that might threaten the completion of this mission.

He twisted the nearly impossible task into the only meaning of his existence."

"He thinks the Avengers will be an obstacle to his protection of peace?"

Fitz took over the conversation, frowning.

In this way, it makes sense why Ultron is so hostile to the Avengers.

"What about you? What's your reason?"

Zhao Hailun's clenched fists relaxed slightly, but his vigilance did not diminish.

Vision's eyes moved slowly across the cabin, finally stopping on Zhao Hailun. His voice was soft and firm:
“I am not driven by pure malice or error.

It is undeniable that I was born in the shadow of Ultron, but the path he chose was destined to despair.

I don't like despair, so I want to correct him.

Even though I don’t quite understand the meaning of my existence, at this moment, I feel that I should be walking on the same path as you.”

Vision said as he slowly floated to the side of the crowd, and then imitated everyone present and attached a layer of dark grey nano-coating to his body, just like clothes.

Then he landed down on the ground among the crowd, and with an attitude completely different from Ultron, he extended an equal invitation to everyone present.

"Now, it's time."
-
In the abandoned church, no, to be more precise, next to the ruins of the church, Lainie looked at the land melted by the blazing laser and couldn't help but be amazed in her heart.

Should we say it is worthy of being an awakening skill of the male heavy gunner?

Although this power is not as strong as a quantum bomb, it can destroy everything within a few kilometers in an instant.

But it is enough to accurately cover every corner of the ruins, and completely erase all traces of its existence along with the alloy body of Ultron from the dust of history.

Where the abandoned church had been, there was only a scorched earth still emitting waves of heat.

All the ruins that should have continued to stand have now been completely razed to the ground. There is no trace of the former solemnity and sacredness left, only destruction and desolation.

Of course, the vibranium core machine standing on the ruins of the church is still there.

It seems that the high temperature evaporating from its surface cannot be completely dissipated within a day or so.

Seeing this, Lainie didn't have the mood to go over and take a closer look. Instead, she simply stayed beside the scorched earth, waiting for the guys in the sky to decide the winner.

swoosh~
A ghostly light blue figure suddenly rushed to Lainie's side. Without looking, she knew it was the Maximov twins.

"Where's Ultron?"

Pietro put his sister down from his arms and looked at the red and black land behind Leni with interest.

He also saw the huge beam of light that fell from the sky just now. If his sister Wanda hadn't reminded him, he would have known that it was a satellite weapon used by Lanie.

Pietro thought that Ultron was about to start his world-destroying operation.

"It has already melted into molten iron. That's the pool next to the core machine."

Lainie said without turning her head, and at the same time raised her hand to summon the anti-tank gun, and without even looking, she suddenly fired a shell at an alley in the distance.

boom!
An iron puppet that was trying to launch a sneak attack was blasted into pieces by this cannon. The metal fragments drew harsh tracks in the air and eventually scattered all over the ground, turning into useless scrap metal.

"So what should we do next? Stay here?"

Pietro pulled out the dagger from his waist, weighed it in his hand, and then looked around warily.

With a woman like Lanie around, he doesn't have to worry too much about his sister Wanda's safety.

Even if those damn iron puppets really broke a hair on his sister's body, he believed that Lanie would be able to put it back together.

Of course, this is just an exaggeration.

If Lainie knew that he was thinking this way at the moment, she would definitely emphasize again and again that the alchemical potion is not a hair loss magic and cannot arbitrarily repair the fragility and integrity of life.

"We have to attract those iron golems here and not let them hinder the evacuation of the people."

Lainie continued to calmly fire one shot after another to resist the steel puppets that tried to rush towards the core machine. At the same time, she secretly used the radar system to lock onto all the Avengers who were still covering the evacuation of the crowd.

"Thor has just destroyed Ultron's underground production line, so we just need to dismantle them all into parts, and the people here will be safe."

As she spoke, Lainie took the time to look at the battle situation in the sky again.

"But it looks like it won't be long."

"What to do?"

Wanda clenched her fists and continued to release crimson magic, which made it difficult for her spirit to support her.

Fortunately, Lainie saw this and took out a bottle of heaven's MP potion from the void and handed it to her.

"It's simple. Just mock him."

The corners of Lainie's mouth curled up in a sly arc.

"I'm right, Tony."

"Yes, yes, it's easy for you to say that, but it's the three of us who are suffering."

Tony's complaining voice was heard on the communication channel, and then those tiny black dots that were constantly entangled in the sky began to gradually enlarge.

Accompanied by roars and flames, it fell straight towards where Lainie and the others were.

"As long as we don't let that guy touch the core machine, right?"

Thor, wielding a hammer, was the first to fall to the ground in a rather embarrassing manner.

It was really difficult for him, the "God of Thunder" who relied on the inertia of his hammer to fly, to fight an air battle with Ultron and others in the air.

"Well, the anti-gravity device under the core machine will firmly absorb a large area of ​​land near the column. Once it is activated by Ultron, half of the city under our feet will rise completely into the sky like the legendary floating city!"

Lainie's tone was calm, as if she was stating an ordinary fact, without any panic or urgency of an impending disaster in her tone.

"We will succeed, right?"

Rody couldn't help swallowing as he looked at the numerous steel puppets that kept crawling out from all over the city.

"What did an old antique say?"

Tony lowered his altitude, hovering in mid-air and looking at Ultron from a distance, and said at this moment:

"We'll do that together, too."
