"Hahaha! I didn't expect that the usually reckless God of Thunder Thor actually has this side. He actually knows how to use his mouth to delay time, although it didn't delay much!" Tony laughed.
"It seems like he really loves his hammer. He can't stop talking about it!" Rhodes added with a grin.
Dr. Otto Octavius was pondering the heat-proof sealing layer that Tony had mentioned, and realized it could indeed work. He couldn't help but admire Tony Stark's genius—developing such a solution in mere moments.
Otto had been contemplating the problem of Sokovia's ascent for quite some time but hadn't arrived at this solution. He had to acknowledge that Tony Stark was simply more brilliant than he was!
1st gen Spiderman touched his nose self-consciously. He had actually just thought of the heat-resistant seal concept, but unsure of its effectiveness, had remained silent.
["Thor! I got a plan!" Tony prepared to share his solution with Thor.]
[Unexpectedly, Thor responded urgently: "We're out of time! They're coming for the core!"]
[Tony's expression shifted instantly: "Rhodes! Get the rest of the people on board that carrier! Avengers, time to work for a living!"]
[He handed the damaged lifeboat to War Machine and rushed toward the church, forming a defensive perimeter with Vision and Thor to repel the Ultron drones converging from all directions.]
[Captain America dispatched an Ultron drone attempting to fire an energy weapon from behind, then capitalized on the opening to destroy its head with a powerful shield strike.]
[Wanda and Barton also hastened to the church. Pietro flashed to Wanda's side and extended his hand: "You good?"]
["Yeah!" Wanda confirmed she was unharmed.]
[After Tony eliminated another enemy with dual repulsor blasts, he called out to Natasha: "Romanoff! You and Banner better not be playing hide the zucchini!"]
["Relax, shellhead. Not all of us can fly."]
[Natasha appeared driving a massive excavator, plowing through the Ultron drones blocking her path as she headed toward the church.]
[After successfully arriving, she surveyed the assembled Avengers: "What's the drill?"]
[Tony pointed to the device behind them: "This is the drill. If Ultron gets a hand on the core, we lose."]
[At that moment, Hulk crashed down from above, smashing one drone to pieces before pulverizing another with a devastating punch.]
[Ultron descended slowly from the sky, observing the Avengers gathered in the church.]
[Thor, bolstered by his companions' presence, shouted defiantly at Ultron: "Is that the best you can do?"]
[Ultron remained silent, merely raising his hand. Hundreds of drones suddenly assembled behind him, causing everyone to stare in dismay.]
[Captain America shot Thor an exasperated look: "You had to ask."]
[Ultron spread his arms and addressed Thor calmly: "This is the best I can do. This is exactly what I wanted. All of you against all of me. How can you possibly hope to stop me?"]
[Tony sighed and glanced at Captain America: "Well, like the old man said... together."]
[Hulk roared as Ultron's forces charged forward—some rushing across the ground, others scaling the church walls, many more descending from above.]
[The Avengers formed an inner circle around the core, methodically eliminating every drone that approached. Pietro utilized his super-speed to maximum effect, darting between robots and dismantling those threatening his teammates.]
[Wanda unleashed chaos magic to seize control of approaching drones, hurling them away from the core.]
[Barton fired arrows with remarkable precision while Natasha discharged her weapons continuously. Hulk positioned himself before Natasha, absorbing much of the pressure directed at her.]
[Tony's repulsors fired at maximum capacity as he activated the laser cutting technology he had once deployed against Ivan Vanko's drones.]
[This time, the beam was thicker and more powerful, bisecting any Ultron drone in its path.]
[Despite their valiant resistance, some drones penetrated their defenses. Vision took to the air to prevent enemies from descending from above.]
[Captain America was momentarily restrained by one machine, creating a gap in their defensive line.]
[An Ultron drone nearly reached the core, but Wanda spotted it in time and blasted it away with chaos magic. Pietro simultaneously destroyed another robot about to attack her.]
[Vision grabbed a drone in mid-air and smashed it to the ground. Captain America broke free and ripped off its head with a backhanded strike.]
[As enemies continued their relentless assault, Tony abandoned his ground position and began flying throughout the church, providing support to teammates wherever needed.]
[The Avengers continued deploying their unique abilities. Captain America executed a 720-degree aerial flip to eliminate an adversary.]
[Thor leapt upward, wielding Mjölnir and channeling lightning to destroy several Ultron drones.]
[Hulk seized multiple drones and hurled them outward, creating a devastating chain reaction as they collided with others, leaving a trail of destruction wherever they landed.]
[Wanda used her powers to telekinetically lift a drone skyward. Just as she prepared to destroy it, Tony flew overhead and eliminated it with a repulsor blast, surprising Wanda as he soared above her.]
[Thor kicked away an approaching drone, then used the severed head of another as an improvised weapon to batter those drawing near.]
[Barton, having exhausted his arrow supply, discarded his bow and engaged in hand-to-hand combat, delivering a powerful uppercut to an opponent's jaw.]
[Wanda grew increasingly proficient with her abilities during the battle. Beyond using chaos magic to repel enemies, she demonstrated tactical awareness by noticing a drone preparing to fire at Thor and redirecting another drone's energy weapon to intercept the attack.]
[After his robotic forces failed to overwhelm the Avengers, Ultron grew impatient and joined the fray personally.]
[Vision immediately intercepted him. Although Ultron initially gained the upper hand, driving Vision into a wall, when he charged forward to press his advantage, Vision countered with an energy beam from the Mind Stone, sending Ultron flying.]
[Thor turned and observed Vision's success. Seeing Ultron immobilized by the energy beam, Thor immediately summoned lightning through Mjölnir to strike him.]
[Tony simultaneously unleashed his repulsors, creating a devastating three-pronged attack. Though Ultron raised his arms in defense, his vibranium shell gradually succumbed to the overwhelming energy, showing signs of significant damage.]
