Tony sighed. “You had to say that.”
Your foul mouth isn’t any better!?Luke couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
The robot that floated up was none other than Ultron, who had a semi-vibranium body.
The ‘log’ body in the church had already been ‘killed’ in the frantic counterattack by the robots earlier.
Dark Knight helpfully said, “Ultron doesn’t lack vibranium – it’s normal for it to have a backup.”
At that point, he paused before he suggested, “Why don’t you scold it again, Thor? Maybe it’s hiding a third vibranium body.”
“Sorry, I have no more words.” Thor rolled his eyes.?Big Bat, you’re clearly making fun of me!
Thor had just spoken in the heat of the moment, and Dark Knight didn’t really expect him to try something else.
Hearing Thor’s words, he nodded. “This is Ultron’s last stand. The anti-gravity system has a manual self-destruct mechanism. As long as any one of its bodies touches it, all that energy will explode, and basically none of the people of Sokovia will survive.”
Tony and Thor both turned grim.
It was for this reason that the first thing that the Dark Knight clone had done after cutting off the power to the anti-gravity system was to dig Ultron’s clone out from the pillar.
Tony wouldn’t leave even after being thrashed, and Thor had come rushing back after receiving a notification.
It was for this reason that Luke had stopped the Avengers from coming back here, and had the Bat Squad operate the androids to provide backup.
On the other hand, Ultron wasn’t in a hurry. It gently raised its hand.
It had been too angry today; it wouldn’t feel comfortable if it didn’t say anything.
With one gesture, robots rushed over to stand or hover in the air behind Ultron, and all of them stared at the people outside the church.
Ultron slowly spread its hands and said coldly, “This is the best I can do. All of you, against all of me. Can you still save hundreds of thousands of civilians?”
Tony turned his head and smacked his lips. “An old antique once said… Unity is strength!”
Elsewhere, the ‘old antique’ who was directing people to look for cover rolled his eyes, but didn’t say anything.
Now that things had come to this point, everyone could only do their best.
Steve didn’t think that evacuating civilians here was a shameful thing to do.
In order to get rid of Ultron, Tony could have immediately leveled Sokovia with hundreds or thousands of tons of explosives.
But the Avengers and the Bat Squad’s main objective was to save innocent people.
He had to do his best as much as possible.
Ultron also knew this, which was why it hadn’t touched the hundreds of thousands of civilians; even its robot army remained hidden underground.
These civilians were the best hostages and an important bargaining chip to restrain the superheroes.
Now that Plan B had been completely destroyed, the hostages were the only thing left that it could use.
As long as these hundreds of thousands of people died, the superheroes here would become ‘criminals’ condemned by the world.
It wouldn’t matter even if they argued that Ultron had been a threat to Earth; the hundreds of thousands of lives would be the most important ‘evidence.’
It was much harder to be a good person than a bad person in this world.
When a good person did a bad thing, their ‘character setting’ would collapse.
When a bad person did a good thing, there was still ‘some good in them’
The deaths of hundreds of thousands of people would be enough to make the Avengers and the Bat Squad lose their identity as agents of ‘justice.’
Boom!
An enormous green figure jumped over from hundreds of meters away and landed with a loud crash. It roared at the group of robots. “Ahhhh!”
The Hulk’s roar broke this temporary impasse.
The army of robots swarmed in from all directions.
Machine guns, palm cannons, plasma cannons, and mini missiles wreaked havoc between the two sides.
Despite its mighty roar, even the Hulk was assailed into covering his face — there were too many robots.
The Bat Squad androids opened fire together. Nobody tried anything strange; they just did their best to avoid head-on attacks and then charged forward.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, Selina, Mindy and Alice’s androids were severely damaged.
However, they directly activated the self-destruct program after charging into the robots, and created three huge craters that were more than 20 meters in diameter each.
Ultron was a little stunned. So brittle?
Then, Frank and Damon’s firepower support gear burst with gunfire. The remaining missiles were used up in one go, and the androids charged into the robots from two different positions.
When they could no longer do more severe damage, the two androids self-destructed to create two even bigger vacuums.
The firepower support system was much more formidable than the combat gear which Mindy and the others had been wearing, and the power from the self-destruct program was several times greater.
The Bat Squad’s crazy explosions slowed down Ultron’s robots at the front.
Ultron’s plan to overwhelm the team with numbers and then manually activate the self-destruct mechanism on the anti-gravity system wasn’t successful.
Taking advantage of this very brief gap, three firepower support units burrowed out of the surrounding rubble.
Selina, Mindy, and Alice had switched androids and took over after Frank and Damon’s gear exploded.
Machine guns, plasma cannons, and mini missiles rained down again.
The rest of the team automatically coordinated with the attack range of the three people and attacked the middle of the robot army.
“Ahhhh~” Thor finally finished charging up in the few seconds after the androids exploded and the new ones emerged.
With a roar, he went flying with Mj?lnir. Lightning exploded in a range of 100 meters in the air as he aimed at the back of the robot army.
Boom!
An enormous white electric field appeared, and all the robots on the ground and in the air exploded in showers of sparks as almost 100 of them were taken care of.
Thor’s attack wasn’t over.
Taking advantage of the aftershock from this big move, he threw out the Mj?lnir hammer.
The hammer spun and shot out lightning more than ten meters long. Like a ‘lightning sword,’ it cut through the robots.
Another 70 to 80 robots were cut down by this electric ‘pinwheel.’
The Hulk followed closely behind.
The Hulk remembered this guy with the hammer and had hit him several times.
Although now wasn’t the best time to beat him up, the Hulk didn’t want to lose to him.
He picked up a large building and threw it at the robots around him.
The closest robots directly shattered to pieces. If they escaped, they were grabbed and smashed against one another.
This explosive attack from the Avengers’ two ‘meat tanks’ was followed by an explosion of firepower from the Bat Squad. Angel’s charge dozens of meters away alleviated the pressure on Tony, Dark Knight and Big Dipper, who were at the vibranium pillar in the church.
But there were still too many robots.
