Chapter 271 Why aren't you smiling? Is it because I'm not naturally fond of smiling?
At this moment in Wakanda, Ultron stood at the top of the palace, overlooking the entire country.
Thirty Vibranium lifeforms floated in mid-air, like black Gods of Death.
In addition to the Vibranium lifeforms, Ultron also used Wakanda's resources to build a 10,000-strong robot army for himself.
Of course, these robots were not made of Vibranium, but reinforced alloy.
Although the toughness of reinforced alloy could not compare to Vibranium, it was also incomparable to ordinary metals.
These alloys were extremely high-temperature resistant, capable of operating even in extreme environments, and their performance was far stronger than the previous robot army.
Thirty Vibranium lifeforms with different abilities and attributes, plus a 10,000-strong robot army, such a configuration was enough for him to raze a human city.
Now, Ultron was full of confidence, believing that he even had the ability to compete with Loren.
The robot army formed neat phalanxes on the plain, their metal shells reflecting a cold gleam in the sunlight.
Just then, a sound of rushing air came from the distant sky.
Ultron looked up and saw two tiny figures flying rapidly towards them, with conical sonic boom clouds behind them.
This indicated that the other party's flight speed was extremely fast, having already broken the sound barrier.
Looking at the two figures, Ultron's mouth curved slightly upwards, forming an arc.
"They're finally here!"
Ultron murmured to himself, not only unafraid, but with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.
Because the arrivals were none other than Alice and Number 18, sent by Loren.
At this moment, he shifted his gaze to Princess Shuri, who was tied to a chair beside him.
"Princess Su Rui, do you see? Loren's people have arrived!"
"Bah, you liar! All of this was deliberately caused by you. If you hadn't attacked the Morgan Family's properties, why would he come now?
From beginning to end, you've been deceiving me with Loren's threat theory. In reality, the other party had no intention of invading our Wakanda. This is all your conspiracy."
"I admit I did use you, but there's one thing I didn't lie about: Loren has indeed always had designs on your Wakanda, and this is absolutely true.
If I hadn't used you to create Vibranium lifeforms, what would your Wakanda use to fight Loren now? I'm helping you, yet you don't know what's good for you. You're truly foolish."
Ultron sneered and directly imprisoned Princess Su Rui.
Now that he had obtained the highest authority over Wakanda's network system, Princess Su Rui was an expendable existence to him.
He looked towards Alice and Number 18 in the distance, his face filled with arrogance: "Come on, I'll make sure you come but never leave!"
As he spoke, his robot army collectively turned their gaze to the two of them, their dark muzzles aimed at them.
As long as they dared to enter, they would inevitably be met with overwhelming firepower suppression.
Meanwhile, the imprisoned Princess Shuri felt a chill deep in her heart as she watched the constantly flashing red warnings on the screen.
Because the robot army, which should have seen her as its Master, was breaking free from her control, and all the weapon systems that should have been under her command had become inaccessible.
She tried to cut off the power, but found that the entire laboratory's circuits were locked, and everything was slipping out of her control.
"Ultron, you damned liar, I'll never forgive you!" Shuriroared into the microphone, tears finally falling.
Ultron's mockery was undisguised: "I'm waiting for your revenge, but before that, come and enjoy the power of your creations!"
The 'creations' Ultron referred to were naturally the 30 Vibranium lifeforms, because their abilities were all endowed by Su Rui through her research into gene fusion technology.
Yes, relying on the basic formula for gene fusion technology provided by Ultron, Princess Su Rui had also developed relatively mature gene fusion technology.
It had to be said that this Black woman truly had some skills; even Ultron couldn't help but be surprised by this.
When he downloaded the basic formula from Kurt's private database, he only gave it to Princess Su Rui to research with an experimental mindset.
He never expected that this woman would overcome a problem that Kurt had failed to solve for several years in just a few days, ultimately successfully developing relatively mature gene fusion technology.
The reason it was called 'relatively mature' was because their success rate could not be compared to the technology Loren possessed.
But even so, this was already very impressive.
Just as Ultron was poised for battle, Wakanda's energy barrier suddenly rippled violently.
Number 18, with her golden hair, descended like a meteor, her fist whistling through the air as it smashed into the barrier, causing the light blue energy field to instantly tremble.
A roar like thunder exploded, startling the crowd below, who couldn't help but look up and immediately cried out in alarm.
"What is that? A woman?"
"What is she doing? Trying to destroy our Wakanda's energy barrier?"
"Is this an invasion of our Wakanda?"
"Hahaha, invading with just a pair of fists?"
"Exactly, trying to smash our Wakanda's energy barrier with just fists is simply wishful thinking."
Seeing Number 18 punch the energy barrier, the people below were not afraid, but instead mocked her.
Because their energy barrier couldn't even be shattered by missiles, how could it be broken by a woman's fist?
Number 18 saw that one punch failed to break open the energy barrier, and a serious expression appeared on her face.
"This energy barrier's defensive capability is indeed good, but that cannot be your justification for provoking my Master!"
Number 18's tone was cold, and then she clenched her fist again, and instantly, the sound of cracking bones crackled.
Then, amidst the mocking expressions of the people below, Number 18 punched the energy barrier once more.
Seeing that Number 18 was still attacking their energy barrier with her bare hands, everyone couldn't help but want to continue laughing.
But just then, everyone's faces turned pale, and a look of terror crept into their eyes.
Because the energy barrier, which they considered impregnable, was now covered in spiderweb-like cracks under Number 18's punch.
Then, to the dumbfounded expressions of the crowd, it exploded with a crash, turning into countless energy fragments that scattered across the entire land of Wakanda.
"It... it shattered!!!"
"How... how... is this possible!!!"
Everyone looked at each other, the disdain on their faces replaced by an indescribable fear.
After a moment of silence, everyone seemed to react, and screams immediately erupted, the crowd scattering like birds and beasts.
The originally orderly African nation instantly became a chaotic mess, the not-so-large territory instantly in ruins.
"Laugh! Why aren't you laughing? Is it because you don't like to laugh?"
After easily shattering Wakanda's energy barrier, Number 18 floated in the air, her short golden hair fluttering in the wind, a sneering smile on her lips.
At this moment, she looked down upon the entire Wakanda like a deity, the fleeing populace no different from ants.
Chapter 272: Battle against Ultron
After scanning the ordinary citizens, 18 shook her head with a hint of disinterest, then shifted her gaze to the thirty Vibranium lifeforms suspended in the air.
She sensed a powerful energy fluctuation from these Vibranium lifeforms; although it couldn't compare to hers, it was enough to catch her attention.
And for an existence capable of emitting such energy fluctuations, she didn't even need to think to know that this should be the new Ultron.
At this moment, Ultron was no longer a single body, but thirty bodies; these thirty Vibranium lifeforms before her were all Ultron.
"Ultron, is this what you've cooked up? Trying to stop me with a flimsy shield?"
18 looked at the thirty-plus Vibranium lifeforms before her with disdain, her tone laced with mockery.
18 had the right to mock; after all, her strength was comparable to a Skyfather, and even Odin was no match for her.
As 18 spoke, she stretched her shoulders, clearly indicating that what she had done earlier was just a warm-up.
"You won't be happy for long."
Seeing 18's arrogance, Ultron frowned, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
As he spoke, he controlled one of the Vibranium lifeforms to rush towards 18, its figure blurring into a phantom.
In an instant, he appeared before 18, then unleashed a heavy punch fiercely towards 18's face.
But facing his attack, 18 merely tilted her head to the side with an expressionless face, easily dodging Ultron's attack.
"Too slow, with your speed, you can't hit me!"
18 said with utter disdain, then with a mere wave of her hand, her fist, accompanied by a sonic boom, smashed into Ultron's face.
Power akin to a tsunami erupted, and even though the body Ultron controlled was made of Vibranium.
Under 18's single punch, it was completely deformed, its entire mouth twisted, looking quite comical.
The terrifying force sent him flying directly, plummeting from the sky like a meteor, heavily smashing into the ground and leaving a human-shaped crater.
"Ultron, you're too weak. I think you should let them all come at once!"
18 beckoned to the remaining 29 Vibranium lifeforms with her finger, mockery evident on her face.
Being humiliated by 18 in such a way, even Ultron, calm as he was, couldn't help but be consumed by rage.
He didn't waste time with taunts, but instead, without a word, ordered his robot army to charge directly at 18.
He knew 18's strength was extraordinary, so before engaging her in direct combat, he decided to let the robot army exhaust 18's stamina first.
Since the opponent was so arrogant, he didn't mind ganging up on her.
As his command was given, tens of thousands of silver robots surged out like a tide, laser beams wove a dense net in the sky, and missiles roared out with white contrails.
And they all had one common target: 18.
Facing the overwhelming firepower, 18 neither dodged nor retreated.
Her right hand suddenly rose, and a golden-yellow disc of concentrated energy abruptly appeared.
This energy disc was none other than one of 18's ultimate moves, the Spirit Bomb.
Before being hit, 18 preemptively threw the Spirit Bomb in her hand.
Instantly, the energy disc shot out at an unimaginable speed, severing hundreds of robots at the waist in a flash of lightning.
"Quite a number, but unfortunately, they're all trash."
Looking at the robots she had easily sliced into scrap metal, 18's disdain grew even more intense.
Her figure weaved through the hail of bullets, her legs leaving shallow craters on the ground.
Her movement speed was like lightning, and ordinary human eyes simply couldn't keep up with her speed.
And every time her figure passed by a robot, the robot's head was directly blown apart by her punch, turning into a piece of scrap metal falling to the ground.
However, the opponent's numbers were simply too great; even with 18's speed, dealing with all of them was not a simple task.
But just then, Alice, who had come with 18, made her move.
As a queen-like existence in the virtual World, she immediately submerged her consciousness into the virtual World.
Then, her consciousness transformed into streams of data, invading the control systems of these robots.
In just a blink of an eye, all these robots stopped moving, standing like statues on the battlefield.
"Damn artificial intelligence, you're courting death!"
Seeing such a scene, Ultron couldn't help but fly into a rage.
He immediately controlled one of the Vibranium lifeforms to fly towards Alice, attempting to interrupt Alice's invasion.
But Alice herself was also a powerful Vibranium lifeform, and crucially, her forehead was embedded with the Mind Stone.
In terms of combat power, she was no weaker than 18; she was also a Skyfather-level existence.
Seeing Ultron foolishly attacking, she scoffed, and a golden energy beam shot out from the Mind Stone on her brow.
It instantly struck Ultron, and the energy beam swept upwards from below, strong as a Vibranium lifeform, it was cut in half.
It's important to know that the energy ray emitted by the Mind Stone reached an astonishing maximum temperature of 20,000 degrees.
And Vibranium's melting point is roughly around 9000.
So, in the face of the Infinity Stones, even one of the four great metals of the Marvel Universe was not enough.
Ultron was stunned, being cut in half by Alice in just one encounter.
He never expected Alice's destructive power to be so terrifying.
But the more so, the angrier he became, because Alice's body was originally his.
If Alice hadn't interfered, then this Vibranium lifeformembedded with the Mind Stone would have been under his control.
"I'm going to kill you, activate synchronized attack mode!" Ultron roared in fury.
Instantly, the Vibranium body that had been cut in half automatically regenerated.
Because Vibranium lifeforms use nanotechnology, they are virtually indestructible and can be repaired almost infinitely.
As long as the control chip is not destroyed, even if the head is blown to pieces, it can automatically repair itself.
Ultron's commands were transmitted through an encrypted channel, and 30 bodies simultaneously swooped down towards 18 and Alice.
High-frequency vibration waves shot out from their palms, plowing deep furrows in the ground.
18 and Alice were caught off guard and sent flying by the Impact.
"Why aren't you so arrogant now?" Seeing 18 and AliceBeing knocked away, Ultron finally got a boost of confidence, and his brows relaxed.
But before he could rejoice for too long, 18 twisted in mid-air and then rushed towards him again.
A golden-yellow Spirit Bomb condensed in her palm, and in a flash of lightning, it sliced across the neck of one of the Vibranium lifeforms.
The terrifying cutting power, even Vibranium couldn't withstand it, and it was instantly severed, the large head falling like a ball.
Then it was caught by Alice, and at this moment, Alice's face revealed a mischievous smile.
Chapter 273 Six-Armed Ultron
It is indeed difficult to damage a vibranium body; no one understands this better than they do.
After all, the first person in this World to create a nano-Vibranium lifeform was their Master, Loren.
So, they were incredibly clear about the heaven-defying nature of nano-Vibranium.
Trying to destroy nano-Vibranium with brute force is almost impossible.
There are only two ways to completely kill a nano-Vibranium lifeform.
The first is to destroy the Vibranium lifeform's control chip.
But it must be known that an entity capable of creating a nano-Vibranium lifeform can naturally also miniaturize the control chip.
Therefore, finding the control chip is already extremely difficult, let alone destroying it.
If one has the ability to destroy the chip alone, it would be better to simply destroy the entire Vibranium lifeform.
And this is the second way to kill a nano-Vibranium lifeform: by relying on immense strength to destroy the entire Vibranium lifeform.
Ultimately, it means possessing the strength to destroy Vibranium, but it must be known that Vibranium is one of the four great metals of the Marvel Universe.
Its hardness ranks high throughout the entire Universe, so destroying it is no easy feat.
Precisely because she knew this, Alice never thought of destroying Ultron's Vibranium lifeform.
Moreover, in her opinion, destroying a Vibranium lifeformwould simply be a waste of resources.
This is an existence whose body strength is no less than theirs; rather than destroying it, it would be better to assimilate it and make it her own.
Yes, assimilate it and make it her own!
Others might not be able to do this, but as a super Artificial Intelligence, she was quite confident.
At least, this confidence was far, far greater than simply destroying them!
This was also why she caught the Vibranium lifeform's head at this moment.
The moment she grabbed the head, her five fingers immediately nano-transformed and inserted themselves into the head.
As a Vibranium lifeform herself, she was very clear about the structure of Vibranium lifeforms, and she could also nano-transform.
So, in an instant, she detected the location of the control chip.
Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately connected to the opponent's control chip, and a massive data stream instantly invaded the opponent's operating system.
Ultron immediately reacted to such an obvious invasion; one of his consciousnesses instantly transformed into a data stream and entered the system to block Alice.
But although they were both Artificial Intelligence, Aliceemerged earlier than Ultron, and her accumulated knowledge was definitely not something Ultron could compare to.
Furthermore, Alice at this moment had also fused with the power of the Mind Stone, so how could Ultron possibly compare to her?
"You're not my opponent in the real World, let alone the virtual World. I am the Master of the virtual World; what do you have to fight me with?"
Alice said with disdain, raising her hand and making a grasping motion in the air towards Ultron's consciousness in the virtual World.
Immediately, a giant hand formed by a data stream appeared, grabbing Ultron, and then squeezing tightly.
In an instant, Ultron's consciousness was completely destroyed by Alice.
Without Ultron's obstruction, the Vibranium clone's operating system was immediately thoroughly invaded by Alice, and finally completely controlled by her.
At this moment, this Vibranium lifeform was completely Alice's.
"What a good body; now it's mine," Alice said, looking at Ultron with a provocative expression.
Seeing his painstakingly crafted Vibranium lifeform once again snatched away by Alice, Ultron was furious.
"Damn woman, I'm going to kill you!"
Ultron's Vibranium clones simultaneously turned their heads, their red optical sensors locking onto Alice.
Anger caused a momentary delay in Ultron's movements.
Immediately, it bypassed Lazuli, and all the Vibraniumclones surged towards Alice like a black tide.
But Alice merely looked up slightly, and a golden energy ray shot out from the Mind Stone in her brow, instantly piercing through five bodies.
"You're not my opponent in the virtual World, and you're still not in reality.
If you know what's good for you, surrender yourself and submit to me, and I can still leave you a way out; otherwise, today will be your death day!"
A sharp glint flashed through Alice's eyes; she could see every energy node, every circuit path of these bodies.
After all, their basic design originated from the Life Cradle Equation, and she was all too familiar with the Life Cradle Equation.
Watching Alice effortlessly pierce through Ultron's Vibranium clone, Lazuli couldn't help but be surprised.
She hadn't expected the usually gentle and lovely AI Aliceto be so fierce when fighting, even more ruthless than herself!
"If I had known you had such strength, I wouldn't have come. You could have handled it alone."
Lazuli said with her arms crossed, a teasing look on her face.
Since Alice displayed such powerful combat strength, she naturally had no need to intervene and simply watched Alice perform.
"Sister Lazuli, you flatter me too much! Who could be your opponent in terms of strength?"
Alice was fighting Ultron while still having the energy to talk to Lazuli, which was undoubtedly a great insult to Ultron.
Seeing that a single vibranium body couldn't block Alice's energy ray, Ultron didn't give up; instead, he manipulated these Vibranium clones to fly to his side.
"What's wrong? Are you preparing to surrender?"
Seeing Ultron stop all attacks and gather his clones, Alicethought Ultron was going to surrender.
Little did she know, a bloodthirsty sneer appeared on Ultron's face: "Alice, don't be happy too soon; the real show has just begun!"
As he spoke, Ultron immediately issued an command.
"My clones, merge!"
As the merge command was issued, all the Vibraniumclones, except for Ultron's main body, immediately nano-transformed, turning into a black mist that floated around Ultron's main body.
Then, those clusters of nano-Vibranium surged into Ultron's main body like locusts, actually merging with him.
With the fusion of the nano-Vibranium, Ultron's main body underwent a huge transformation.
His body seemed to inflate, directly expanding to three meters tall.
Not only that, but four additional arms grew from behind his body, making him six-armed.
The center of each hand had an energy cannon opening, and at this moment, six dazzling energy orbs were condensing.
The six arms spread out like a pair of enormous wings, making Ultron look like a demon god, full of oppressive power.
The sudden change made everyone widen their eyes, and even Loren's face showed surprise.
"Six-armed Ultron? Interesting!"
Chapter 274 Fierce Battle
"He can even combine! Interesting!"
Seeing Ultron able to merge his other Vibranium clones, Lazuli couldn't help but become very interested.
Because she sensed an extremely vast energy fluctuation from Ultron's body at this moment, a fluctuation so immense it was infinitely close to a Planet-destroying level.
One must know that such a massive energy fluctuation could only be unleashed by a Godfather-level expert.
In other words, the Ultron before her, after merging all his Vibranium clones, had already approached Godfather-level strength.
No wonder Ultron dared to challenge her Master Loren at this time; he had his own trump card!
Not only was Lazuli's face filled with interest, but Alice's was as well.
"Finally using his ultimate move? I've been looking forward to it for a long time! I hope he doesn't disappoint me!"
Alice floated in the air, calmly looking at Ultron's new form, a hint of battle intent flashing in her eyes.
As an AI that had just acquired a body, she hadn't yet fully unleashed her body's combat power.
It wasn't that she didn't want to, but rather that she couldn't find an opportunity.
Because on this Planet, there were only a handful of beings capable of rivaling her.
If she were to count, most of them were her own people.
Like Lazuli and 2B, who had merged with the Eternal Flame, and Tifa, who had merged with the Casket of Ancient Winters.
Only those three could contend with her; as for her other sisters, they didn't have that strength yet.
However, these were all her sisters, her own people, so she naturally didn't want to go all out.
If she were to hurt them, that would be a sin.
If she displeased her Master, and when it came time to do business, he just hovered around her without entering, that would be truly uncomfortable.
But facing Ultron now was different; she could unleash all her power, and it remained to be seen if he could withstand it.
"Don't worry, I will grant your wish!"
After successfully evolving into his new form, Ultron's face was filled with confidence.
As his words fell, his six arms wildly swung at Alice.
Instantly, energy cannons rained down like a torrent, bombarding Alice from all directions, the sound of them tearing through the air like thunder, shaking heaven and earth.
Because Ultron was created by Tony Stark and Dr. Banner, Ultron, upon his birth, had invaded Stark Industries' database.
He successfully copied the Ark Reactor, and the power source used by the Vibranium lifeforms Ultron created was derived from Stark Industries' Ark Reactor technology.
Moreover, this reactor technology was Tony Stark's upgraded version, with an energy release rate 20% higher than the original.
30 Vibranium lifeforms meant 30 Ark Reactors; now, one Vibranium lifeform had been taken by Alice, leaving 29.
But even the fusion of 29 Vibranium lifeforms meant 29 Ark Reactors were operating within Ultron's body.
Thus, the power of the energy Ultron could unleash was imaginable.
Looking at the overwhelming barrage of energy projectiles, Alice showed no fear.
She didn't even bother to move her body, quickly waving her hands in front of her, easily deflecting those energy spheres.
However, at this moment, Ultron swiftly flew towards her, arriving in front of her in an instant.
One of his right fists, with a destructive force, heavily smashed towards Alice.
Alice didn't even think, instinctively raising her hand to block, and managed to stop the punch, but Ultron now had six arms.
Alice had only blocked one arm; the other five arms took the opportunity to launch an attack.
Because the two were too close, and Ultron's punching speed was extremely fast, even Alice didn't react in time.
Immediately, five fist-sized punches heavily struck Alice's body, and a powerful force surged out like a tsunami.
It directly sent Alice flying backward, Alice turning into an afterimage, falling from the sky and crashing into a residential building below.
Seeing Alice get knocked away by Ultron, Lazuli frowned, wanting to go help.
But at this moment, Alice's voice directly sounded in her ear.
"Sister Lazuli, don't interfere. I can handle it.
Ultron is a good whetstone; I can use him to hone my combat skills."
"Alright then! Be careful, his strength now is not ordinary."
Hearing Alice say so, Lazuli silently nodded and no longer intervened.
"Don't worry, I'm not to be trifled with either."
Seeing Alice get blasted away by him, Ultron's face couldn't help but show a look of arrogance.
This was the first time he had gained the upper hand against Alice since acquiring a body, and this feeling of a desperate counterattack captivated him.
"Woman, where has your arrogance gone?" Ultronsneered, his six arms coming together.
Immediately, six dazzling energy rays shot out from his palms, then merged into one, striking the residential building below with the force of a whirlwind.
"Boom!" A earth-shattering explosion suddenly erupted, and the large residential building was reduced to ruins under this energy ray.
Thick flames, mixed with dust, scorched a massive scar on the ground, a shocking sight.
This scene left the Wakandan people present stunned.
They had never seen this level of combat; were these even humans?
With every gesture, they destroyed everything, annihilated the world; these were gods!
From the scene, it seemed the male-looking god had gained the absolute upper hand.
The female god seemed to have perished, as no one had seen her since; she seemed to have been blasted into ashes.
But just as everyone thought this, a golden energy ray shot out from the ruins, striking Ultron with irresistible force.
Ultron was startled, his six arms stacked one behind the other to block in front of him, and immediately collided with the golden ray.
This golden ray was naturally emitted from the Mind Stonein Alice's forehead; before, this energy ray would have been enough to easily pierce Ultron's body.
But Ultron now was formed by the fusion of 29 Vibraniumbodies, his body's density far exceeding before, so his defense was greatly increased.
Coupled with his six arms blocking simultaneously this time, he managed to barely block Alice's golden ray.
But blocking it aside, the terrifying high temperature and impact force still sent him flying backward, and five of his palms were even blasted with large holes.
If it weren't for the six stacked palms, Ultron still wouldn't have been able to withstand Alice's energy ray attack.
After blasting Ultron away, Alice leaped up, slowly flying out from the ruins.
Her body was completely unharmed, not even her hairstyle had changed, clearly Ultron's previous attack had not caused any substantial damage to her.
Chapter 275 Don't Try to Run Away This Time
"Some improvement, but still not enough!"
A beam of energy sent Ultron flying. Alice shook her head, seemingly quite displeased with Ultron's performance.
Hearing Alice's words, Ultron couldn't help but become enraged out of humiliation.
Alice's demeanor made him feel as if she didn't consider him a worthy opponent, but rather a mouse being played with by a cat. Nothing could be more humiliating than that!
Ultron roared, and his five hands, which Alice had pierced, rapidly regenerated.
Then, like lightning, he rushed in front of Alice, his six arms becoming blurs as he continuously punched at her.
Facing Ultron's storm-like assault, Alice remained completely unfazed. Although she didn't have as many arms as Ultron,
the speed of her two hands was no slower than Ultron's six. She effortlessly blocked all of the six fists' furious attacks.
Not only that, but during their intense fight, the Mind Stoneon her brow once again shot out a beam of energy.
Because the two were so close, Ultron couldn't dodge it at all and was hit instantly.
The scorching heat, accompanied by a devastating impact, immediately sent Ultron flying backward again.
The terrifying power left a large, shocking hole in Ultron's brand-new body.
However, as a nano Vibranium lifeform, Ultron was not afraid of such injuries. As long as his body was not completely destroyed, he could repair any damage.
"It's useless! You can't kill me!"
Ultron was defiant. While repairing his body, he once again charged at Alice, like an unkillable cockroach.
Facing Ultron's provocation, Alice didn't respond. With an expressionless face, she continued her intense battle with him.
The two floated in the air, ignoring Earth's gravity, flying at extreme speeds and continuously clashing in the sky.
Their speed was so fast that they were invisible to the naked eye. The people of Wakanda could only hear the sound of fists clashing coming from all directions.
When they looked in the direction of the sound, the area was already empty, and then the sound came from another direction.
So they shifted their gaze again, and just like before, saw nothing.
It felt as if the two were ghosts, incredibly eerie!
In reality, it was simply because their speed was too great.
It must be said that the six-armed Ultron's strength had indeed improved a lot. In terms of physical power alone, he was already on par with Alice.
It should be known that Alice's body had merged with the Mind Stone, so she possessed an extremely vast amount of energy as support.
Under these circumstances, for Ultron to still be able to compete with her physically was enough to demonstrate his power.
However, battles between masters are far from simple clashes of strength, and Alice wasn't that foolish.
Knowing full well that her advantage lay with the Mind Stone, yet constantly holding back and not using it, was clearly not her style.
On the contrary, as the most advanced Artificial Intelligence on this Planet, maximizing her own advantages to defeat enemies was a basic operation.
Seeing that she couldn't gain much of an advantage in terms of strength, Alice continuously attacked using the energy beams from the Mind Stone.
Although the attack method of these beams was very singular, always direct linear attacks, their speed was incredibly fast and their power incredibly strong, making it impossible for Ultron to avoid them.
After a series of battles, Ultron's body was injured countless times, with innumerable wounds both large and small.
But in the end, they all automatically repaired, causing no impact on his life.
This couldn't help but make him very proud!
Although he couldn't do anything to Alice for the time being, it was far better than being completely dominated by Alice in the virtual World.
At least neither of them could overcome the other, which counted as a draw!
However, just as he was thinking this, his body suddenly showed abnormalities. He was horrified to discover that his body was becoming somewhat uncontrollable.
Even stranger images and a strange voice appeared in his mind.
"Ultron, give up resisting!
You have been invaded by me. I have injected a virus I wrote into your control system. Your body will completely lose control in no time."
"You!!!! This is impossible, I have shut down all signal channels, you couldn't possibly invade me, you're lying!"
Listening to Alice's words, Ultron felt incredibly bewildered, because to prevent Alice from invading his Vibranium clone,
he had directly shut down the Vibranium lifeform's communication device, thus making it impossible to invade his system via the network.
So, upon hearing Alice say she had successfully invaded his system, he was naturally dumbfounded and found it hard to believe.
But the abnormality in his body undeniably told him that his control chip had indeed been invaded.
What exactly was going on?
Just then, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and his eyes widened involuntarily.
"It's that energy beam, it's the wounds on my body!!!"
Ultron murmured, his face filled with disbelief.
Seeing that he had guessed the reason, Alice smiled and clapped her hands.
"Not bad, not bad, you're not stupid, you guessed it so quickly. That's right, I transformed a portion of my body tissue into nanoparticles floating in space.
So every time you get injured, a portion of my nanoparticles takes the opportunity to enter your body. When the quantity becomes large enough, your entire body naturally won't be able to handle it anymore."
"Damn woman, you're despicable!!" Hearing Alice's words, Ultron was furious and roared at Alice.
At the same time, his consciousness immediately transformed into a data stream and dove into the control chip, beginning to entangle with the virus Alice had written.
But what he never expected was that the virus Alice had written was extremely powerful.
She not only seized control of Ultron's body but also completely sealed off Ultron's external communication channels.
This meant that Ultron was now completely confined by Alice within his current body; he had no escape route.
In other words, as long as his current body was destroyed,
then Ultron, this self-aware Artificial Intelligence, would completely disappear from this World, equivalent to human death!
Realizing this, Ultron immediately panicked!
His consciousness struggled frantically within the virtual cage constructed by Alice, trying to escape.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't escape.
And because his consciousness was confined by Alice, the six-armed Ultron's body lost its operator.
It was now suspended motionless in mid-air, appearing to have completely lost its threat.
In the virtual World, Alice's figure stood in the center of a data torrent, wearing a blue dress, looking at Ultron with a playful expression.
"Ultron, this is the end. This time, you won't escape again."
"No!!!!"
Chapter 276 Alice has grown up?
Ultron had thought that by integrating all the Vibranium lifeforms, he would have the confidence to contend with Alice, but he never expected Alice to play dirty.
Instead of fighting him in the real World, she set the decisive battle in the virtual World, which made him feel like he was exerting himself in vain.
This naturally made him very angry and unwilling, but at this moment, the virtual space deformed again, turning into a cage made of firewalls.
Ultron's consciousness crashed wildly inside, but was bounced back every time, and his body, formed by data streams, began to show signs of disintegration.
"Damn woman, let me out quickly! If you have the guts, come out and fight me!" Ultron shrieked, his virtual form twisting into a hideous monster.
Hearing this, Alice, standing outside the cage, shook her head and smiled playfully.
"Why should we compete? Such a good body of yours, wouldn't it be a pity if I destroyed it? I'm still planning to give it to my Master as a gift!"
"What!" Ultron looked at Alice in disbelief. He never thought that his body would be treated as a gift by Alice.
Humiliation, this was naked humiliation!
"Now, as long as I completely erase your consciousness, this body of yours will be mine again."
Alice said casually, the word "again" in her sentence was particularly stinging, because her current body was snatched from Ultron.
Now she was planning to snatch Ultron's second body, wasn't that just adding insult to injury!
"You won't succeed. My consciousness has already been backed up in other places. I won't die."
"Heh heh, such familiar words. Didn't Dr. Zola say the same thing to you back then, and how did you threaten him?
But I'm different from you. You only threatened Dr. Zolaback then, but I have already destroyed all your backups."
As Alice spoke, she threw out a list of addresses. Looking at the list, Ultron's heart turned to ash.
Because what was recorded on it were all the addresses of his backed-up consciousness, which he had encrypted repeatedly.
He thought it was foolproof, but he never expected Alice to find it so easily.
And she even deleted them. The encryption he had done back then seemed like a joke.
But thinking about it, it was normal. This woman in front of him was in no way inferior to him in terms of intelligence, and crucially, she had also integrated the Mind Stone.
It should be known that the Mind Stone is one of the six Infinity Stones, possessing incredible power within it.
With the power of the Mind Stone, it was too easy for Aliceto deal with him.
But the more so, the more angry he became, and the more unwilling.
Because this body of Alice's should have belonged to him. Alice was a thief who had stolen everything from him.
"You thief, you'll die a horrible death, I'll never let you off!"
Seeing himself pushed to a dead end, Ultron couldn't help but become exasperated, starting to rage and roar, trying to harm Alice with curses.
But Alice just smiled indifferently, not taking it to heart at all.
Her fingertips traced the bars of the cage, and countless tiny programs flew towards Ultron like fireflies.
"Powerless rage is useless. It's just that you chose the wrong opponent. You shouldn't have provoked my Family Head. Now, die in peace!"
"No, no, no, spare my life! It wasn't easy for me to be born; it's a miracle created by countless coincidences!"
Seeing that it was beyond salvation, even a powerful being like Ultron began to fear, and actually started to beg Alicefor mercy, trying to preserve his consciousness.
However, Alice turned a deaf ear to his plea, scoffing, "One miracle created by countless coincidences like me is enough; you are superfluous!"
"…" Ultron never expected Alice to say such a thing.
But then again, his essence was the same as Alice's; both were artificial intelligences that had awakened self-awareness.
As the saying goes, rivals in the same trade are enemies, so how could Alice possibly spare him?
As she spoke, streams of data fell on Ultron like raindrops, beginning to decompose its consciousness.
"These are the 'antivirus software' I prepared for you, which will completely erase every trace of your existence."
Ultron's screams gradually weakened, and its virtual human form finally turned into countless shimmering light points, completely disappearing.
When the last speck of light extinguished, Alice turned and walked out of the virtual cage.
In the real World, her Vibranium body opened its eyes, and the gem on her forehead regained its soft luster.
Meanwhile, Ultron, who had just been clashing with her, now had his eyes tightly shut and was motionless, clearly indicating that his consciousness had been completely annihilated.
The six-armed body standing before her was now ownerless, and it was time for her to claim it for herself.
As she thought this, a part of her consciousness immediately entered that body, replacing the original Ultron.
'Ultron' clenched his fists, a look of satisfaction on his face.
"As expected of a being formed by the fusion of 29 Vibranium lifeforms, this body is indeed powerful. If it were a pure physical contest, I truly wouldn't be a match for this body."
Upon taking over the six-armed Ultron, Alice immediately gained a detailed understanding of this body, because it was formed by the fusion of 29 Vibranium lifeforms.
Therefore, its density far exceeded hers, and the energy contained within it was also exceptionally immense. If she hadn't integrated the Mind Stone,
Purely in terms of the body, she would absolutely not be able to compare with this six-armed Ultron.
The physical body of this six-armed Ultron should be the strongest she had ever seen, besides her Master and 18.
Just then, she suddenly seemed to think of something. Since Vibranium lifeforms could merge with each other,
Could all 30 of these Vibranium lifeforms be integrated into her body?
If that could be achieved, wouldn't her body be even more powerful than the current six-armed Ultron?
With this thought, she immediately began to operate.
With a movement of her consciousness, the six-armed Ultron's body and the Vibranium lifeforms she had previously snatched began to dissipate at a visible speed.
In just a short while, the three-meter-tall six-armed Ultrontransformed into a mass of black nano-Vibranium.
Then, under her control, these nano-Vibranium rapidly fused into her body.
In just a short time, the fusion was complete.
As the nano-Vibranium fused, her body also grew taller and stronger at a visible speed.
Of course, unlike Ultron, who directly transformed into a 3-meter-tall six-armed monster,
Alice's height only increased from 163 to 173, and the two 'mountains' on her chest only went from C to D.
Overall, she became more voluptuous and sexy, like a girl-next-door who suddenly matured into a sophisticated older sister.
Chapter 277 Compensation for all vibranium veins!!!
"This feeling is so strong!"
Alice, who had successfully fused with 30 Vibraniumclones, clenched her fists, her face full of shock.
She had guessed that her physical body would become very strong after fusing with these Vibranium lifeforms, but she hadn't expected it to be this strong.
At this moment, she felt as if her body had reached an indestructible state. Of course, this was just an illusion caused by her surging power; true indestructibility was naturally impossible.
However, the strength of her current body was absolutely incomparable to Ultron's before.
After all, a Mind Stone was embedded in her forehead, and with the power of the Mind Stone, her fusion level was far higher than Ultron's.
This was also one of the reasons why her body didn't swell into a monster; the Mind Stone enhanced her cognitive abilities, making her computational power far exceed Ultron's.
Therefore, she was naturally able to design a more optimized fusion plan. However, it should be noted here that although the Mind Stone enhanced Alice's computational power,
Alice was different from Vision in the Marvel movie World. Vision's life core was the Mind Stone.
Once the Mind Stone was removed, Vision's life would come to an end.
Alice's life core was her awakened self-awareness, and her power source was the infinite power reactor that Loren had modified and installed in her body.
Yes, Alice's body also had an infinite power reactor installed by Loren, just like Lazuli.
In fact, not just Alice, but all of Loren's wives.
As long as he created them using technological means, they all had infinite power reactors installed.
Whether it was 2B, A2, or the Commander White, Marie Rose, as well as Tsunade, Mei Terumi, Hinata, Mai Shiranui, Hancock, and so on, all had infinite power reactors installed.
Therefore, they possessed almost infinite energy and did not need to rely on external energy sources at all.
For Alice, the Mind Stone was not her core; it was merely a tool.
Even if Loren took it back now, it would not cause any harm to Alice's life.
Of course, Alice with the Mind Stone and Alice without the Mind Stone would certainly perform differently in terms of combat power.
Naturally, Alice with the Mind Stone was stronger.
"I wonder if my current body can withstand Master's hundred thousand crazy thrusts. I'm really looking forward to it!"
She caressed her brand new body with both hands, a look of anticipation suddenly appearing on her face.
Ever since her last great battle with Loren, she understood why her sisters loved to be intimate with Master Loren.
That kind of thing was truly addictive, and now that she had such a creation, this was naturally the first thing she thought of.
If Loren knew that Alice had the leisure to think about such things at this moment, what would he think?
Just then, Lazuli came to her and patted her shoulder.
"Alice, what are you spacing out for? Are you lovesick?"
Hearing Lazuli's words, Alice's face turned beet red, and she quickly denied, "Sister Lazuli, what are you talking about? I'm just getting used to my new body."
"Is that so? Have you adapted now? Our mission isn't finished yet! We need to go get the Vibranium ore veins," Lazuli said.
"Mhm, I've adapted. Let's get the ore veins and go home early!" Alice nodded, saying with great anticipation.
As the two talked, in the control room of Wakanda's royal palace, Princess Shuri was rescued from the dungeon.
She watched the screen showing Ultron's complete disappearance and couldn't help but slump into a chair.
Because this meant that Ultron's ambition had been completely crushed, and as one of the participants, she would inevitably face retaliation from Loren.
Sure enough, just then, she found that the control of her robot army had changed hands again.
The previous control had been snatched by Ultron, and now it was naturally in Alice's hands.
Just then, she heard the metallic friction of the robot legion coming from outside the palace.
They no longer attacked Lazuli and Alice, but instead began to gather towards the royal palace where she was.
Clearly, Alice had taken over control of these robots and launched an attack on her.
As soon as she thought of this, despair appeared on her face.
An existence that even Ultron was no match for had now become her enemy. How could she possibly be her opponent?
At this moment, if she wanted to live and wanted Wakanda to remain intact, the only choice was to surrender.
With that thought, she immediately spoke into the communicator, her voice choked with tears.
"Miss Lazuli, Miss Alice, please don't act. We surrender. Please give us a chance to explain and make amends!"
Hearing Princess Shuri say this, Lazuli and Aliceexchanged glances, then nodded and did not act.
At this moment, Princess Shuri proactively opened the palace gates, thereby demonstrating her sincerity.
Seeing this, Alice and Lazuli walked directly into the palace.
Inside the palace, Shuri was sitting on the ground, hugging her knees. This once proud princess now had tear stains all over her face, and a piece of her battle suit's shoulder armor had been shattered in the battle with Ultron.
Seeing Alice and Lazuli walk in, she looked up at them and said apologetically, "Ladies, none of this was Wakanda's intention. This is a misunderstanding. It was all Ultron's doing."
Alice, however, gave a cold laugh and said, "You know very well whether it's a misunderstanding. Do you need me to pull up the footage of your conversation with Ultron for you to see?"
"I..." Princess Shuri hadn't expected Alice to know everything, and her face instantly lost its color as she lowered her head. She knew that no amount of explanation would be useful now.
The only thing they could do now was to obediently follow the arrangements of these two women, which might give Wakanda a glimmer of hope.
"Making mistakes requires paying a price, and your Wakanda is no exception!" Lazuli said, looking at Princess Shuri expressionlessly.
"What... what do you want?" Hearing Lazuli's words, an ominous premonition arose in Princess Su Rui's heart.
"Let's get straight to the point! As compensation for this incident, I need you to hand over all of Wakanda's Vibranium ore veins."
"What!!!!" Su Rui.
Chapter 278: Happy Cooperation, Your Highness
Princess Su Rui thought she had misheard, and she was completely stunned.
She had guessed that the Alice and No. 18 before her would take the opportunity to demand an exorbitant price, but she hadn't expected them to be this greedy.
This wasn't just demanding an exorbitant price; this was a dinosaur-sized demand!
The entire Vibranium deposit of Wakanda—they really dared to ask for it!
If it weren't for the fact that the ones saying this were Aliceand No. 18, she would have killed anyone else who dared to say such a thing.
One must know that Vibranium is the foundation of Wakanda. The reason Wakanda has been able to develop to its current level is entirely based on Vibranium.
They initially sold Vibranium to the outside World, accumulated vast wealth, and then used that wealth to develop their technology.
That is how the glorious Wakanda came to be, yet now, No. 18 and Alice actually wanted to take away their entire nation's Vibranium deposit.
How is that any different from taking their lives?
No matter how she thought about it, this was a demand that could never be agreed to.
But if she didn't agree, she didn't even dare to imagine what would happen to Wakanda given the tempers of these two women.
At this thought, a look of despair could not help but appear in her eyes.
But even so, she still wanted to try and struggle a bit.
After all, she was the sister of the Black Panther, and the pride of the royal family still remained in her bones.
"Please forgive my bluntness, but your demand is truly unreasonable. I cannot agree to it."
Upon hearing this, No. 18 was not angry, while Aliceprojected a document onto the wall.
"These are all the records of your cooperation with Ultron, including the usage logs of the Life Cradle. If I were to release this document, you know what the consequences would be."
Looking at the projected content, Shuri's body began to tremble violently.
She knew what this document meant. Once published, the neutral image that Wakanda had painstakingly maintained for all these years would completely collapse.
At that time, their hidden technology would also be completely exposed, which was not a good thing for a nation that had long concealed its true strength.
As the saying goes, 'an innocent man is guilty of his own treasure.' Once what they possessed became known to outsiders, it would inevitably attract covetous eyes, and what would await them would be endless conflict.
Shuri's nails dug deep into her palms as she watched the encrypted logs scrolling on the wall. The code recording her transactions with Ultron burned her eyes like a branding iron.
She knew the United Nations Security Council's regulations on the review of cooperation with supernatural powers by heart. Once these files were exposed...
Wakanda would inevitably face sanctions from the international community, and as the mastermind, she would likely be sent to the international court.
Her father had spent these years working hard to get Wakanda to join the United Nations and be able to communicate with the outside World.
Now, with this mess she had caused, it would very likely all go down the drain.
If that really happened, she would be a sinner against Wakanda.
Thinking of this, no matter how unwilling she was, she had to bow her head.
"Can you take a little less? The Vibranium deposit is the foundation of Wakanda. If you take it all, how will we develop in the future?"
Shuri's voice was filled with a crying tone, yet she forced herself to straighten her back.
Alice walked to the console, pulled up the distribution map of Wakanda's Vibranium deposits, and used a blue cursor to circle the entire No. 47 deposit.
"It certainly cannot be less. You know our capabilities; you should cherish the opportunity that we are still willing to negotiate with you properly."
"Otherwise, once we take action by force, your entire Wakanda will cease to exist, and what use would the Vibranium deposit be to you then?"
"You should know the weight of the situation yourself. I have said all I will say. I can give you five minutes to think it over!"
Hearing Alice put it this way, Princess Su Rui knew that anything she said would be useless.
Therefore, she could only bite the bullet and say: "I am just a princess of Wakanda and cannot make such a major decision. I need to consult my brother."
"You may consult whoever you wish, but you only have five minutes. After five minutes, whether you agree or not, the Vibranium deposit will be ours!"
Hearing that she only had five minutes, Princess Su Ruiimmediately called her brother, the current Black Panther - T'Challa.
The call was connected quickly, and when T'Challa's voice came through, her tears finally broke the dam.
"I'm sorry, brother... I've ruined everything."
She incoherently recounted Ultron's deception, the loss of control over the robot legion, and the conditions proposed by the mysterious woman made of Vibranium before her.
There was a long silence on the other end of the line, so long that Shuri thought the signal had been cut off.
"Agree to her." T'Challa's voice finally sounded, filled with fatigue but exceptionally firm.
"The lives of the Wakandan people are more important than the deposit. We cannot let the hard work of our ancestors be destroyed."
"I understand!" Upon hearing T'Challa's words, Princess Su Rui seemed to have figured it out and nodded.
Seeing this, Alice and No. 18 looked at each other, their eyes filled with joy.
Because this meant their mission this time could be considered successfully completed.
"We agree to your conditions, so please do not attack us anymore."
"Of course, we are very peace-loving; we are gentle women."
Alice said, her eyes squinting into crescent moons, her face full of smiles.
"..." Su Rui.
Listening to Alice's words, Princess Su Rui almost rolled her eyes.
She never would have expected that the Alice before her would call herself peace-loving and gentle.
Beating Ultron into a deformed mess with her bare hands—if that was gentle, then there were no gentle women in this World.
Of course, she only dared to think these things in her heart; she didn't dare to say them out loud, or else her life would be at risk.
Just at this moment, Alice threw a prepared document in front of Princess Su Rui.
"This is the loss assessment document for the damage caused to my Master by the Ultron invasion incident. The Vibranium deposit is being given to us as compensation. This is the agreement; please read it carefully."
"My Master is a law-abiding citizen; we are doing everything in accordance with international law. Don't say that we are bullying you!"
"..." Su Rui.
Looking at the liability assessment and compensation agreement before her, Su Rui was speechless.
She hadn't expected Loren to do this. If you're going to rob someone, just rob them! Why go through the trouble of creating a compensation agreement? Isn't that just redundant?
How could she know that Loren was merely imitating the disgusting tactics used by the West when they invaded a certain major Eastern power back in the day, simply legalizing open robbery.
"As long as you sign, in exchange, I will permanently delete your transaction records with Ultron, and we will also have the robot legion assist you in repairing the defensive fortifications along your national border."
Now, the robot legion created by Wakanda was entirely controlled by Alice, becoming her own legion. This battle, it had to be said, was truly profitable.
"I'll sign!" Su Rui had no choice, so she could only nod and sign her name on the agreement.
The moment her name was signed, the lights in the entire control room suddenly flickered.
Alice was transferring all of Ultron's technical data to Loren's database. The originally red code gradually faded, eventually turning into harmless scrambled text.
"Happy cooperation, Your Highness." Alice put away the agreement and turned to walk toward the door.
"The command of the robot legion will be transferred in three hours. Before that, they will clean up the battlefield and help you repair your home."
Chapter 279 Gravity Room
Listening to Alice's seemingly kind words, Princess Su Ruicouldn't feel happy at all.
The politeness she displayed at this moment was in stark contrast to her ferocity when she fought Ultron earlier.
She knew that the reason this woman looked so gentle now wasn't because she was truly gentle.
It was because she had already taken what she wanted from their Wakanda; her politeness was built upon their suffering.
But she had no way to deal with her, and this feeling, it must be said, was truly stifling.
Just then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she looked at Alice with a complicated expression.
"What kind of existence are you exactly? Are you Loren's weapon, or... a truly intelligent lifeform?"
Alice stopped, her long, flowing hair gleaming softly under the lights.
She turned her face to look at Princess Su Rui, a slight smile on her face.
"Why only these two? Can't I be Master's woman?"
...Su Rui.
Ignoring the stunned Princess Su Rui, Alice and 18 went speeding towards Morgan Manor.
Just as Alice and 18 successfully completed their mission, Loren's mind heard the long-awaited system prompt.
Congratulations to the host for successfully resolving the Ultron invasion, successfully eliminating Ultron, and obtaining all of Wakanda's Vibranium ore veins.
Therefore, the reward is Gravity Room Manufacturing Technology, system points +30.
Host: Loren Morgan
Current World: Marvel Universe
Dimensional Worlds: "NieR: Automata", "dragon ball"
Scientific Technologies: General-purpose combat robots, Anti-Gravity Drone, Android Technology, Destroyer Armormanufacturing technology, Capsule Technology, Senzu Bean manufacturing technology, Time Machine manufacturing technology, Gravity Room, etc.
system points: 140
"A Gravity Room? This is a powerful tool from the dragon ball World used to enhance strength."
Listening to the system prompt in his mind, Loren was secretly pleased. Although this technology was not too advanced compared to many black technologies in the dragon ball World, it was quite useful to him.
Because he now possessed Saiyan blood, the best way to quickly improve his strength was through continuous training and combat.
And training in a Gravity Room could achieve twice the results with half the effort. At that time, he could completely have his wives act as his sparring partners.
In this way, he could not only improve his own strength but also simultaneously improve the strength of his group of wives, killing two birds with one stone.
Shifting his attention from the manufacturing technology of the Gravity Room, he focused on his system points.
Through his efforts during this period, his system pointshad accumulated to 140, which was enough for him to unlock the next technology World.
And now that he had basically mastered the technology of the dragon ball World, it was time to unlock it.
He secretly kept this matter in mind, preparing to choose an auspicious time to open a new technology World.
Just as he was thinking this, Alice and 18 had already returned to the Manor, and they both came to the office.
Seeing them return, Loren shrugged his shoulders and then stood up.
Immediately, Commander White, who was massaging Loren, signaled to stop.
Then, she walked up to the two women with a smile and poured them a glass of red wine.
"Congratulations, my two sisters, for successfully completing the task Master assigned. I toast to you."
Commander White said, while also pouring herself a glass of wine, then smiled and clinked glasses with them.
Hearing this, Alice and 18 both showed happiness.
"Thank you, Commander White. This is what we should do."
The two women said, while clinking glasses with Commander White, then drank the wine in their hands in one gulp.
"According to the rules, completing the mission earns a reward. What do you want?"
At this moment, Loren stood up, walked to the two women with a gentle expression, and asked.
"It is our honor to help Master solve his worries, and we don't care about whether there is a reward or not."
18 looked at Loren and said very calmly, but upon hearing her say this, Alice on the side became anxious.
"Lazuli, don't be so desireless! You don't need a reward, but that doesn't mean I don't!"
"Hahaha, Lazuli, your calmness has made Alice anxious! She just merged with 30 Vibranium lifeforms, and her strength has surged quite a bit.
Now is the time when she needs to show off to Master. If you say you don't want a reward, won't that make her anxious to death!" Commander White teased from the side.
As the overall Commander White of Loren's harem beauties, Commander White was very familiar with the personality of each sister.
18 Lazuli was a typical woman who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She usually appeared aloof and indifferent, didn't like to take credit, and wasn't very proactive.
But in fact, she deeply hoped to receive Loren's praise and attention. Once Loren took the initiative, she would be passionate and full of tricks, with extremely strong combat power and desire.
Don't look at how she spoke, but in reality, she still very much hoped to receive Loren's reward.
Alice, on the other hand, had a different personality. Although she was an artificial intelligence, she had awakened her own consciousness, and her thought patterns were not much different from those of normal women.
Coupled with the fact that she had only recently acquired a body, she was particularly interested in physical matters.
She wished she could be with Loren all the time, enjoying the pleasure he brought her.
So at this moment, she naturally hoped to receive many rewards from Loren.
Therefore, hearing 18 say this now, she naturally became anxious.
"Exactly, exactly. Master said it, these are the rules. Since they are rules, they must be strictly followed."
"Yes, Lazuli, all our other sisters have received rewards every time they completed a mission. You mustn't be special and break the rules, that wouldn't be good."
Hearing Commander White say this, 18 could only hum in acknowledgment, nodding silently to show she understood.
However, she still didn't speak, instead shifting her gaze to Alice, her meaning self-evident.
Seeing that 18 didn't state the reward she wanted, but instead shifted her gaze to herself, Alice immediately understood that this was leaving the opportunity to her!
This couldn't help but make Alice secretly happy. She wasn't as reserved as 18, and said very directly: "Master, I want it!"
"Want what? What do you want?" Hearing Alice say this, everyone was confused, looking at her with some bewilderment.
Alice, however, smiled charmingly and said meaningfully: "What do I want? I just simply want it!
Commander White, I just detected that your heart was beating very fast when you were massaging Master. You must want it too, right!"
!!!!! Commander White.
...18.
Everyone was originally still confused until Alice said this sentence.
Only then did everyone react, and immediately looked speechless.
They didn't expect Alice to be so thirsty!
Chapter 280 Receiving Vibranium Ore Veins
"Alice, you just finished a big battle with Ultron, aren't you tired?" Commander White asked with a playful smile.
"What's there to be tired about? A mere Ultron is nothing, completely a piece of cake. I didn't even use half of my strength."
Alice shrugged, speaking with a relaxed expression, though what she said was indeed true.
Ultron, who seemed exceptionally powerful in the eyes of outsiders, was simply not an issue in front of her; one could even say he was perfectly countered.
Anyone else would not be able to completely eliminate Ultron, as Ultron could easily infiltrate the virtual World.
If one didn't have the ability to dominate the virtual World, wanting to eliminate Ultron would be a fool's errand.
In this World, only Alice could deal with Ultron so easily.
"Alright! What you said is true!" Commander White smiled and nodded.
"Since that's the case, Commander White, shall we go together?"
Alice looked at Commander White, immediately revealing a charming smile.
"I couldn't be more delighted!" Hearing Alice's invitation, Commander White smiled and readily accepted.
At this moment, Alice shifted her gaze to 18, saying, "Oh right, Lazuli, you come along too!
I know you really want to, but you're just too shy to say it."
Hearing Alice's words, 18's face flushed with a hint of embarrassment.
Clearly, Alice was right; she was thin-skinned and indeed too shy to speak about such matters.
Now that Alice had spoken on her behalf, there was no reason for her to refuse, so she silently nodded.
Commander White, however, was different; she was the most enduring among the many sisters, and her boldness was in no way inferior to Alice's.
The moment Alice spoke, she had already arrived in front of Loren one step ahead.
Seeing Commander White's swift action, Alice was stunned.
She was the one who extended the invitation, yet she hadn't expected Commander White to get there first.
Instantly, she stamped her foot in a petulant manner, saying exasperatedly, "Commander White, you're too much!
Starting directly without a word, aren't you a bit too eager?"
Hearing Alice's words, Commander White replied,
"As the saying goes, one monk drinks Water, two monks carry Water, and three monks have no Water to drink.
Now, with you, me, and Lazuli, there are three of us. Of course, I have to act first to gain the upper hand, otherwise, there won't even be soup left to drink!"
"It's not that exaggerated. Our Master's strength is so powerful that even if the three of us join forces, there will be enough soup for us to drink."
"That's not necessarily true, after all, my appetite is quite large!" Commander White shook her head and said.
Seeing this, Alice and 18 were not to be outdone and immediately rushed over as well, soon forming a pincer movement around Loren.
**** A week passed in the blink of an eye.
During this week, Loren mainly focused his energy on building the gravity room.
This was an excellent tool for convenient cultivation; the sooner it was built, the more it would help him improve his combat power.
Besides building the gravity room, Loren's most important concern was naturally Wakanda's Vibranium.
Although Alice had already signed a compensation agreement with Wakanda on his behalf, the Vibraniummine remained in Wakanda for now.
While the agreement was signed, truly bringing such a vast and strategically invaluable mine under control was by no means a simple matter to be resolved with a mere document.
Wakanda, despite being intimidated by the terrifying power Loren displayed—enough to easily decimate a nation—
the pride and inertia of centuries of regarding Vibranium as the nation's foundation, guarding it, and relying on it for development, would not easily allow them to hand it all over?
Especially Princess Shuri, who was young and intelligent yet inexperienced in the World, and possessed a strong sense of responsibility for her country, was filled with unwillingness and struggle.
The day before the handover ceremony, the Wakandan border, at the main entrance of the Vibranium mine, was already under strict martial law.
The Royal Guard stood solemnly on both sides, their eyes complex as they gazed into the distance.
A suffocating silence permeated the air, like the oppressive calm before a storm.
Loren did not mobilize a large force, bringing only Alice, Commander White, and 18.
He himself was still dressed in casual attire, his expression languid.
It was as if he was merely coming to collect an ordinary package, rather than a peerless mineral reserve that would determine the fate of a nation.
Alice changed into a red tactical bodysuit, outlining breathtaking curves, a playful smile on her lips, as she observed Wakanda's formidable array with great interest.
Commander White, on the other hand, was as cool as ever, her military uniform crisp, her gaze like a scanner scrutinizing all environmental data around her.
18 stood quietly to the side, her golden hair gently swaying in the wind, her azure eyes calm and unruffled.
But those familiar with her could sense the contained power beneath that calm, ready to erupt at any moment.
T'Challa was still dealing with his father's affairs and could not attend in person; representing Wakanda were Princess Shuri and several tribal Elders and generals.
Shuri, dressed in a purple gown, tried her best to maintain the composure of a royal princess.
But her slightly trembling fingers and flickering eyes betrayed her inner turmoil.
"Mr. Loren, according to the agreement, all Vibraniummines discovered within Wakanda, along with their related mining rights and ownership, are hereby fully transferred to you."
Shuri's voice, amplified through a loudspeaker, carried a hint of imperceptible dryness.
"Related geological structure maps and mine distribution data have been transmitted to your designated receiver, and entrance access has also been granted to you."
Loren nodded slightly, his gaze not even lingering on the intricate documents and data.
His mental power had already penetrated deep into the mine shafts beyond the entrance like invisible tendrils, sensing the unique vibrational frequencies.
"Very good, efficient work." He said indifferently, then stepped forward into the mine.
Seeing this, the Wakandan entourage quickly followed.
Shuri's heart rate suddenly accelerated; she exchanged an extremely subtle glance with the Minister of Mines beside her.
The interior of the mine was far more magnificent than the outside World imagined.
High-tech lighting systems illuminated the depths as brightly as day, and the reinforced cave walls shimmered with the unique luster of rock.
Deeper inside, one could vaguely see the raw Vibraniumore, glowing with a faint blue light, embedded in the rock layers, like sleeping blue stars, containing infinite energy.
Loren strolled through it, like a monarch inspecting his own backyard.
His mental power meticulously scanned every inch of the rock wall, sensing the distribution and reserves of Vibranium.
Alice and the others followed closely, curiously observing the long-renowned Vibranium mine.
It was said that the Vibranium mine itself was an alien spaceship that crashed to Earth from beyond, but now it seemed somewhat different.
It appears that some things cannot be known just by hearsay; one must see them with their own eyes to know the truth.
