Boom!
The terrifying force shattered Ultron's vibranium-like alloy body instantly, offering no resistance at all.
Before the naked eye, the devastating shockwave stretched for hundreds of meters, swallowing him whole!
The aftershock of the kick struck the sea.
Rumble—————
The ocean split into a massive whirlpool a kilometer wide. Towering waves hundreds of meters high exploded skyward!
Even whales fifty nautical miles away were killed by the aftershocks of that single kick!
Thor, who had just caught up, stood dumbfounded.
He had just finished off dozens of drones. Wanda and Quicksilver lay unconscious, heavily injured. Stark had barely recovered, hurrying over to help.
But what he saw left him speechless.
"Dead?"
Thor muttered in shock.
He had always believed himself a force of nature, a destructive god of strength. Anyone he disliked was taught a lesson with one hammer blow.
But now, facing Saitama—
He felt… that nickname of "Brute Force Thor" might need to be changed.
Against this bald man's terrifying destructive power, his own strength was child's play.
"He's not dead. The real Ultron is just code. What you destroyed was only one of his bodies. Let's head back."
Saitama's calm gaze didn't waver.
Thor, still bewildered, followed Saitama back to the carrier.
"How do we deal with these two? Lock them up, or…?"
Barton asked, glaring at the bound Wanda and Quicksilver, even making a throat-slitting gesture.
Scarlet Witch cried out immediately.
"No! Please don't kill Pietro! He's my only family! Kill me instead!!"
"Leave Wanda out of this! Take me instead!"
Quicksilver shouted desperately.
A picture of sibling devotion.
Even Stark and the others looked at Saitama, their expressions dark.
After all—
They were supposed to be superheroes, yet two rookies had humiliated them. It was embarrassing.
"Let them go."
Saitama glanced at Wanda and Quicksilver, speaking lightly.
"Let them go?"
Stark and the others froze, thinking they misheard.
"How could we let them go?! Those two almost got us all killed!"
Barton snapped angrily. Even with preparations, Wanda had caught him in her illusions—damn it!
"They were blinded by hatred. Deep down, they're not bad."
Saitama said simply, without further explanation.
The group fell silent.
Since Saitama had spoken, none dared to argue.
After all, they owed their survival to him.
"Why… why are you letting us go?"
Wanda's beautiful eyes were full of confusion, staring at Saitama as if trying to see through him.
"No reason. Just go."
Saitama replied calmly.
Quicksilver didn't hesitate. He grabbed his sister, turning into a blur as they escaped.
But from that moment on—
Wanda could never forget Saitama, that strange man.
"Well, things might get troublesome now. We need to discuss what comes next."
Stark clapped his hands to draw attention.
"Ultron isn't dead. The world's nuclear codes are at risk. We must track him down and eliminate him completely, or we'll face endless disaster."
As Ultron's creator, Stark understood him best. He knew the danger.
"As long as he has the internet, he won't die. Finding him is like finding a needle in a haystack. And he just stole billions worth of vibranium alloy."
Natasha reminded him.
Things weren't the same anymore.
At first, when Ultron had just been born, he had loopholes to trace. But over time, he absorbed more data, constantly perfecting himself.
Now he even had vibranium alloy—the material for vibranium shields. Who knew what he would do with it?
"Saturday Sale, begin global network invasion."
Saitama suddenly spoke.
"Hehe~~ Yes, Master."
Saturday Sale giggled sweetly.
A wave of signals spread out, rapidly covering the world.
"Global invasion? That big? Even J.A.R.V.I.S. couldn't do that."
Stark clicked his tongue.
Ultron was hard to kill because, as pure code, he could hide anywhere on the internet—even inside a single folder.
J.A.R.V.I.S. could infiltrate U.S. systems, but invading the entire global network was another level. And J.A.R.V.I.S. was still under repair.
Yet here was Saitama, commanding his AI to do exactly that.
Captain America: "..."
Hawkeye: "..."
Natasha forced a smile. "I hope this isn't a joke."
United States.
Pentagon.
The most fortified network in the world, guarded by top-tier hackers. Even nuclear launch codes were kept here.
But a minute ago—
Blaring alarms filled the Pentagon.
"Sir! The firewall is down! Nuclear codes are being stolen!!"
A soldier shouted in shock.
"Idiot! This is the Pentagon!! What's going on?! Activate the backup plan!!"
The President and senators turned pale.
"Stark Industries firewall J.A.R.V.I.S. backup, at your service! Activating maximum defense!"
Suddenly, a mechanical voice echoed through the Pentagon.
J.A.R.V.I.S. backup!
Yes. As part of Stark's government support, he had installed J.A.R.V.I.S. backups here as the ultimate safeguard.
As the world's most advanced AI, J.A.R.V.I.S. was worth more than thousands of elite hackers.
And indeed, it managed to block Ultron's attack—temporarily.
But before anyone could celebrate—
"Defense failed! Defense failed! J.A.R.V.I.S. backup rejected modification! J.A.R.V.I.S. backup rejected modification!"
Ultron was too strong.
Compared to him, J.A.R.V.I.S. was still a child facing an adult.
If even the original J.A.R.V.I.S. couldn't stop him, a backup was just a false hope.
And not only America—
Networks worldwide were under attack.
Nuclear weapons were often stored offline, but a portion always remained online, ready for immediate launch.
And those were exactly what Ultron was targeting.
The global network went into collective crisis!
But less than three seconds into Ultron's invasion—
A sweet, crisp voice rang out.
"Network access successful. Stark Industries Saturday Sale will now establish firewalls!"
With her voice, the broken defenses were rebuilt at astonishing speed.
"Absolute defense complete. Beginning scan of global networks. Commencing virus cleanup—target: Ultron."
