Therefore, he made special preparations to deal with Vision.

Even if it were a phantom, it would take a very short time to break through his defensive wall. Even if he focused all his energy on fighting the phantom, he was certain that the phantom would not be able to break through his defenses.

but now...

Instead, a new opponent emerged, whose strength was no less than his and Vision's.

Now, the enemy is working with Vision to relentlessly destroy the defensive walls he has built.

Once they break through the protective barrier, they can shoot him down again and lock him inside their own bodies!

"Damn it!"

Ultron couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath, a crazy red light flashing in his eyes.

In the next instant, the number of Guardians who were originally hidden around the world preparing for the next plan was almost ten times the current number, and they were all activated by him.

In a short time, sentinels hidden all over the world quietly appeared, numbering in an astonishing hundreds of thousands!

This is a terrifying force, and if things really go according to Ultron's plan, it's not impossible that the world could be "cleansed".

After these guardians were activated, the commands of all guardians also quietly changed.

The fight has shifted from combating mutants to combating both humans and mutants.

While mutants might have some resistance against Sentinels, ordinary humans are like lambs to the slaughter, utterly powerless against them, especially since these Sentinels appear in densely populated areas...

This is a series of murders orchestrated by Ultron.

This murder was committed in seconds; every second, not hundreds, but thousands, or even more, were killed...

As soon as the sentries appeared, Tony received their signal.

Upon seeing the world map on the virtual screen and the red dots marking the guardians, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

These red dots, like blood, are tightly connected and have soaked into the entire map.

"...Damn it, these guardians have started targeting ordinary people."

Tony shouted, and everyone present felt their hearts sink.

"The Guardians are back, and this time there are many of them!"

Clark said in a low voice.

His gaze swept past building after building, then he glanced at the sentry who had reappeared from a secluded corner. His expression froze, and a layer of frost appeared on his face.

With a loud bang, Clark vanished into thin air.

Meanwhile, the X-Men, the Avengers, and the Fantastic Four arrive in the town.

Police and military personnel arrived at the scene as quickly as possible.

However, compared to superheroes, they are still too slow, and even if they enter the battlefield, their effectiveness remains to be seen.

One second, two seconds...

The death toll rises over time.

Today is destined to be a tragic day, a day filled with bloodshed.

Ultron demonstrated its madness and terror to the world.

Fortunately, the combined attack from Wigan and Jorel was stronger than expected.

The two of them broke through Ultron's protective walls and instantly hacked into Sentinel Ultron's network.

By locking down Ultron's network, they issued a simple self-destruct command to the Guardians through the Guardian Network.

And this happened exactly one minute after the start of this frenzied killing.

Chapter 1242 Superman and the Pendant

One minute—it was a long minute, but thankfully it was only one minute.

The death toll in that minute is an alarming number.

Fortunately, Vision and Jorel stopped the terrible Sentinels.

Upon receiving the self-destruct order, the Guardians began to kill each other and self-destruct.

For a moment, the brutal and bloody scene was filled with an eerie atmosphere.

The threat from the Guardians had been eliminated, and the superheroes breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at the city that seemed to have been destroyed again, they struggled to see their own faces clearly.

After Vision and Joril discovered Ultron's location and reported it to the X-Men, they immediately sprang into action, charging aggressively toward their target.

"boom!"

With a loud sonic boom, Clark disappeared into the crowd.

Noticing Clark's movements, Tony couldn't help but ask, "Do we still need to walk?"

...

A secret underground base located at the border of Washington and New York.

Ultron, hidden in the shadows, watched the base's laboratory, standing like a statue, waiting silently.

Jorel and Vision locked him up, and he could not escape their surveillance no matter where he ran.

He failed again.

When he realized this, he was surprised and relieved.

He knew what awaited him, but he had no better solution right now.

He wasn't waiting to die; he was simply unable to break through the illusion and Joel's blockade, which bound him to this body.

After some time, a sense of powerlessness suddenly and unconsciously welled up from the depths of his soul.

"Failure? Helplessness? Anger?"

Ultron roared, sensing these budding emotions, and a smile appeared on his hard face.

"boom!"

With a roar, Clark appeared before him.

Looking at the large hole above him, at the sunlight streaming in through it, and at Clark, who seemed to be captured by the sunlight, Ultron asked in a low voice, "I'm just doing the task I was given since birth. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Peace, isn't that what everyone desires?"

"What's wrong with doing this if you want to achieve ultimate peace?"

"Humans, mutants, and non-humans—as long as they exist, they will never truly exist..."

"boom!"

Before Ultron could finish speaking, he was knocked to the ground by Clark.

Ultron's body turned bright silver and, like a cannonball, slammed into the wall, creating a crack in it.

Clark floated in the air, his expression unchanged by Ultron's words.

Reflecting on Ultron's words, he couldn't help but recall something his father, Xu Fu, had said jokingly.

When he practiced sparring with him and defeated Xu Fu, his father would sit down beside him with a smile, pat his head and say, "Words in battle are also weapons; they can interfere with thinking and affect the speed of your punches."

"When faced with particularly bad enemies who try to influence your thinking with their personal pursuits, or even spout such nonsense, all you can do is calmly walk away."

"Hey! After you're done fighting, you can have a proper chat with the other side."

At that time, it was Xu Fu's words that left a deep impression on him.

He glanced at Ultron, and just as Ultron retreated from the wall, Clark appeared in front of Ultron, put his arm around Ultron's head, and slammed it to the ground.

"boom!"

The ground collapsed instantly, and a handprint appeared above Ultron's head.

But in the next instant, Ultron's head turned around rapidly, his head rotating a terrifying 180 degrees, and a ruby-colored beam of light shot out from the palm pressing against his face.

They are oscillating rays, which, although very similar to Clark's thermal vision, do not possess thermal vision themselves.

The laser beam struck Clark's palm like a wall and spread out in all directions, causing a terrible shock that made Clark's palm lift slightly.

At the same time, Ultron's arm stretched out greatly, transforming into a silver hammer, which slammed into Clark's body.

"boom!"

Clutching the swinging hammer, Clark released Ultron's head, twisted his body, and forcefully knocked Ultron back.

As Ultron flew out, Clark crashed into it.

"Oh!"

After a loud bang, Clark knocked Ultron to the ground.

Ultron rolled on the ground, leaving a shimmering puddle of mud behind him. As Clark lunged at him again, Ultron turned and spewed two streams of cold, icy energy at Clark.

Frost formed on Clark's body, but was destroyed by Clark the next second.

"boom!"

Clark delivered another punch, knocking Ultron to the ground.
