"I ruined everything," said Tony, bowing his head.
"Enough, Tony," Steve Rogers interrupted him in a serious tone. "Our priority now is to stop Ultron."
"Instead of holding anyone accountable here."
Black Widow and the others agreed as well.
Just when everyone agreed that stopping Ultron was now the priority.
An untimely voice was heard.
"Why can't you take responsibility for your bad actions?"
Aron stepped out from the side.
"Adults must pay for their mistakes, right, Tony?"
"Yes..." Tony nodded, quietly. Compared to avoiding responsibility, he would rather be blamed by everyone. At least then his conscience felt a bit clearer.
"Ultron is my mistake. I won't stop at anything to destroy him!"
From a slouched and dejected posture, Tony stood upright. Sincere remorse was replaced by a determined expression. He regained the fighting spirit of the past.
"Aron, thank you for coming, and this person beside you..."
"Just call me Mordo," said Mordo.
"Mordo?"
Tony was momentarily confused.
He glanced at Aron secretly and saw that Aron's face was expressionless.
Only then did he say, "Aron, Mordo... thank you for coming."
"How nice of you."
"Just remember that because of you, I lost over 200 million dollars."
Aron's voice had just lowered.
Mordo on the side showed a confused expression.
"Wasn't it 2 million..."
"Hmm!"
Aron immediately stepped closer and stared.
Only then did Mordo realize and quickly swallowed the unfinished words back into his stomach.
"..."
"Don't worry, Aron, when this is over. "
"I'll transfer you 20% of Stark Industries!"
Even though he was practically bankrupt at this point, his confidence hadn't disappeared. He still sounded like someone who held power.
"Hey! Hey! Guys!"
"Did you forget that one country is about to be attacked with a nuclear strike?"
Black Widow couldn't help but remind everyone.
Whether Wakanda was a backward third-world country or not.
You can't just sit with folded arms and watch it get destroyed by nuclear weapons, can you?
"Yes! We must hurry!" said Steve, immediately growing impatient. He grabbed his shield and started preparing for action.
"What?"
"Now you're just thinking about the Quinjet?"
The Captain's behavior amused him. The nuclear warhead was already nearly at its target, and they were just now firing up the engines?
By the time they arrive, Wakanda and its people will already be burned to the bone.
And...
Wakanda is not necessarily afraid of nuclear weapons.
"So what do we do? Do we not care about Wakanda?"
"Not really."
Aron answered very sharply.
Wakanda is protected by an energy barrier and it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with a nuclear warhead.
What really needs to be thought about is what comes after the nuclear explosion!
At that moment, Ultron's robotic army will definitely seize the opportunity to attack Wakanda and take the vibranium.
Thinking about that—
Aron shared information about Wakanda with everyone.
Learning that on the African continent there existed a country with a level of science and technology more advanced than their own.
Tony was surprised, and quickly understood what Aron meant.
"So... the real goal is to prevent Ultron from getting the vibranium," Tony said.
"Exactly," said Aron. "Your job isn't the front line, Tony. You need to find a way to completely eliminate him."
"Don't look at me, even though I can beat the robots Ultron made, I can't erase his backup data from the internet."
Aron really wasn't concerned with Ultron's robotic army.
Not to mention summoning Hela and her army of the undead.
There's just him.
Pair him against all of Ultron's robots.
With his current strength, that's not a problem at all.
But…
It's useless!
Brute force alone cannot completely eliminate Ultron!
"And what about magic?"
Dr. Banner asked from the side.
"Doctor, what do you think these mages are?"
"Look at Mordo. Training on Mondays, boxing on Wednesdays, weapon throwing on Fridays. He's practically a fighter. Active skills? Counterattacks. Passive? Weapon master."
"A mage like that, you expect him to destroy Ultron in the online world?"
Aron's words completely destroyed everyone's last illusions about magic.
It turned out that once the mystery of the mages was revealed…
They were just a bunch of berserkers!
"I have another solution. I'll try to upgrade Jarvis as much as I can. Give him the ability to fight Ultron."
After Tony finished speaking, he also felt that the feasibility of this plan wasn't very high.
Putting Jarvis against true artificial intelligence?
That's like sending a baby to fight Mike Tyson.
"Let's split into two groups."
"One team goes to Wakanda to stop Ultron from getting vibranium."
"Tony, you stay and find a way to eliminate Ultron."
Captain America gave his advice.
This time, even Aron thought there was nothing wrong with the suggestion.
"Mordo, open a portal and take them to Wakanda."
"And what about you?"
Mordo asked curiously.
"I..."
Aron looked at Black Widow.
"I have an idea, but I need your help."
"Count on me,"
Black Widow agreed without hesitation.
"Alright, so be it."
Stark stayed behind to study Ultron.
"Mordo, go to Wakanda with the Captain, and if the situation becomes too serious, inform me."
"Finally, Natasha, come with me."
After Aron finished speaking, he opened a portal and left the crumbling Avengers building with Black Widow.
Mordo followed.
He teleported to the African continent with the Captain and the others.
...
Meanwhile, in Wakanda...
Hidden beneath a sophisticated energy dome, Wakanda remained isolated from the rest of the world. But this time, the threat was serious.
Inside one of the main laboratories, Princess Shuri and her team were struggling to stop Ultron's attempts to infiltrate their security systems.
