Across every network in the world, a dazzling figure appeared.
Saturday Sale!
Black battle armor, a slender perfect body that could stir endless imagination, with Stark Industries' emblem glowing on her chest.
From that day forward—
Stark firmly cemented his status as the undisputed number one weapons manufacturer in the world!
"Super AI? Even stronger than J.A.R.V.I.S.?"
Ultron muttered, his processors working at full capacity.
Meanwhile, on Saitama's side—
Saturday Sale clung to his arm like a puppy, her beautiful eyes streaming with torrents of data.
She needed Saitama's energy!
With enough power, her mechanical heart could keep evolving endlessly.
Ultron and Saturday Sale clashed furiously across the networks. Firewalls rose, virus programs crumbled.
Zzzzt—
In a lab somewhere, sparks flew from Ultron's head, smoke curling upward.
"Damn it!! I'm losing in computational power?!"
Another battlefield had fallen.
Once infused with Saitama's energy, Saturday Sale swept through the networks like a storm, annihilating all of Ultron's viral constructs.
"But this is only the beginning. The winner has yet to be decided!"
Ultron's cold gaze shifted toward Dr. Helen Cho's lab.
Hissss—
Air hissed as an alloy case slid from the platform.
"How beautiful… Vibranium atoms can bond with tissue on a cellular level. S.H.I.E.L.D. never imagined this…"
Dr. Helen Cho's eyes shone with awe.
A Korean world-class scientist, an old friend of Tony Stark, and an authority in genetic biology rivaling Bruce Banner.
(Though Banner was probably still stuck in Saitama's world working on takoyaki research…)
"Humans are blind. Vibranium is a universal metal, yet they only use it for little shields. Typical shortsightedness."
Ultron sneered.
His mechanical servants filled the lab.
All the vibranium had been delivered, ready for Dr. Cho to craft an organic body!
In his hand gleamed the scepter.
The head shattered, releasing an orange gem that floated down—
Into the forehead of the synthetic body.
Vision.
As the Mind Stone settled, his body glowed with dazzling colors, breathtakingly radiant.
"What is this?"
Dr. Cho asked in astonishment.
She was only human, but she could feel the immense power it contained.
"The Mind Stone. One of the six Infinity Stones. With it, my body will become the strongest."
Ultron clenched his fist.
In his database, a figure appeared—
Saitama!
With this body, he could stand against Saitama.
At least on Earth, he would be invincible.
Even Saitama could only serve as his stepping stone to the throne.
"Ultron!"
Two figures entered the lab.
Scarlet Witch Wanda and Quicksilver Pietro, who had fled from Saitama.
"We lost… to Saitama…"
Wanda gave a bitter smile.
"No matter. Anyone who opposes us will die. Peace will be preserved by me, Ultron."
Ultron sneered.
The siblings looked uneasily at Vision's body.
But their minds were still shaken by Saitama's overwhelming power.
They didn't probe Vision, as in the original story.
And so, with Wanda never sensing Vision's mind, they failed to see Ultron's true plan—
To annihilate humanity, and create a world without people.
The loading bar continued.
90%
91%
92%…
"Someone's coming. A Quinjet."
Ultron suddenly looked skyward.
Ten kilometers away, a Quinjet roared closer.
"Ultron's location confirmed."
Saturday Sale's voice came through the navigation system.
During her battle with Ultron, she had hacked part of his database, pinpointing his coordinates.
"Unfortunately… you may not get what you want."
Ultron's gaze darkened.
From the start, he had marked Saitama as his greatest rival.
And so, he had prepared thoroughly.
Washington skies.
Inside the Quinjet.
Hawkeye manned the controls.
Natasha, Steve, Stark, Thor, and Saitama were aboard.
Of course, Saitama sat slouched in a chair.
If he could sit, he wouldn't stand.
If he could lie down, he wouldn't sit.
A true couch potato, enjoying the ride.
"Thank goodness for Miss Saturday Sale, or dealing with Ultron would've been a nightmare."
Steve sighed.
Without her, even with J.A.R.V.I.S. and Stark, they could never have cornered Ultron.
That thing could've hidden in a single hidden file forever, impossible to find.
But now—
Ultron had lost control of the network.
If he dared log in, Saturday Sale and J.A.R.V.I.S. would crush him like a virus.
Relief spread through everyone.
No more aimless dread.
Now, they held the upper hand.
"Saturday Sale is my goddess. My phone's been blowing up nonstop, haha!"
Stark laughed, thrilled.
Her power was clear to the world, proving Stark Industries' might.
World leaders were already lining up to buy her firewall system.
Others wanted weapons deals.
Stark's stock prices had been hitting record highs for days.
"After we finish this, I'll host a huge party. The most gorgeous women from all over will be there. You guys better come—and Saitama, you have to!"
Stark grinned.
In his eyes, Ultron was no longer a real threat.
"This guy…"
Steve sighed helplessly.
Natasha and the others shrugged. "As long as we handle the crisis."
"I think you should change course. There's an ambush ahead."
At that moment, a certain bald couch potato watching soap operas in the cabin suddenly spoke.
"Ambush?"
Hawkeye blinked.
"Heh, no need for you to bother, Saitama. I'll take care of it."
Stark smirked.
His armor snapped into place, glowing eyes ignited, and he shot out like a rocket.
But only seconds later—
Boom!!!
Under the stunned eyes of Hawkeye, Steve, and Thor—
Several orange beams erupted skyward, blasting Stark out of the sky.
