Chapter 866: Humanity Chose Ultron
As it turned out, Moon Knight wasn't lying. When Peter carried Cindy into the hole Luke Cage had crashed into, Moon Knight had already slid down and landed inside Ultron's fortress. The fortress's interior proved to be very spacious, with almost no electrical wires visible, only hexagonal walkways and various pipes going up and down.
Peter flew into the gap, put Cindy down, and then folded the vulture's wings. Almost the instant they landed, the image of Ultron flashed on the nearby silver walls.
Welcome, heroes, to the Garden of Eden.
"Eden—looks like you really do think you're God." Peter murmured, then turned to Ultron: "And I don't think this is Eden at all, Ultron."
Perhaps, but you should take a closer look and reflect carefully on my outstanding contributions to the human world.
"The outstanding contributions have all come here—" Peter muttered to himself, looking at the others. The others didn't know what to do, but Peter knew exactly what Ultron was up to: "Let's go. We'll definitely run into a lot of trouble with Ultron on the way to find the time engine. He'll be thinking about how to persuade us—or rather, how to get rid of us."
If Ultron chooses to do that.
Peter led his teammates up the silver rotating corridor. Unlike before, Ultron remained unusually silent throughout the entire process, showing one scene after another.
They saw a former serial killer in prison, who had previously been sentenced to death, but due to G...
Fat Ultron's plan was to transfer his consciousness to the internet through connections before he died.
According to Gabe Newell's (GabeN) idea, he would be trapped in a world constructed by his own consciousness, where everything he desires would be fulfilled, his desires would be satisfied, and he would kill indiscriminately, killing one non-existent person after another to satisfy his desires.
But the Evangelical Ultron, or rather, this Ultron, did something different.
You are dead.
Ultron constructed a hell for this soul, a hell shaped by his upbringing, the people he encountered, and the worldview he developed. He was trapped there and tortured, becoming the victims he had killed, experiencing each of his acts of murder from the perspective of the victims.
Next, Ultron would amplify his senses, such as pain, the sound of his own breathing or heartbeat (although these were all data simulations), and then restore him to a period of blissful life, very short, but then plunge him into a new punishment.
On the other side was another woman.
The screen showed footage of her before her death. This woman had done nothing wrong; in fact, she was kind-hearted, having done a lot of charity work when she was wealthy. However, a car accident left her with impaired mobility in both legs, and then the financial crisis hit, leading her insurance company to refuse her insurance payout and declare bankruptcy. She gradually lost all her savings and her house.
Finally, on a cold winter night not long ago, she died in a tent with her pet dog in her arms, a fire that was too late to start.
But perhaps she was lucky. Shortly after her death, she was discovered by a follower of Ultron. This follower performed a last mass for her, and as a result, Ultron's nanobots extracted the woman's remaining consciousness and uploaded it here.
It was uploaded to Eden.
Here, the woman no longer had to endure years of torment caused by an accident. She returned to her best years, to her happiest time, and could relive her past without even realizing that she had already died.
"The bad guys get punished, and the good guys get peace—even in death." Luke Cage, who came from a working-class Black background, felt this deeply as he watched the scene unfold: "It's like the sermons of a pastor when I was a child. Ultron is creating a real-life heaven and hell."
"A false heaven and hell, at least the underworld in Egypt is real, and Ultron will not let these souls find peace." Moon Knight elegantly ignored all of this, walking at the head of the group, and quickly led everyone to the location of the time engine. There was nothing else there, only an Ultron floating in the air, connected to several cables, and the time engine that was constantly flashing.
The final boss came way too easily —
Peter pondered this question and spoke with Ultron: "You call this place Eden, but it's more like heaven and hell, Ultron."
Ultron naturally provided Peter's answer: "Christianity, and even tracing back to the Jewish hell, can be traced to the underworld in Greek mythology, and both Heaven and Eden can be traced back to the Garden of Ether in the underworld. That's why it's the same place."
[A final resting place after death, and a safe haven for the virtuous.]
"Ha, so you don't actually believe in religion at all, even if you say it yourself, religion is just the cheapest means of your rule." Peter organized his rebuttal while signaling the others to prepare for action. "But you know what's most ironic, Ultron? Perhaps we can create all of this in reality."
Oh, really? Perhaps. I don't know if you have that intention, or if you've realized what's needed to do it.
As Ultron spoke, he floated to the ground, severing all the cables behind him, and a red glow emanated from his mouth: "Do you know what the hardest part is in changing all this? It's not deciding to fight, because there will always be those who choose to fight, even if there aren't."
Many people would say, "Wait, we can still live, why should we sacrifice our lives for a vague, uncertain new world?" But that's not even the hardest part, because you have to understand that every revolution involves many sacrifices, yet there are still people who willingly dedicate themselves to creating that new world.
The problem is that people haven't yet realized they have a new world to create. Those who have are even more frustrated because they find themselves misunderstood and without followers; they've smashed their heads against a once-solid wall, hoping that someone will one day follow their own path and smash that wall down.
But do you think, in the world today, in your country, how many people realize that a better new world actually exists?
So they chose me, a phantom savior descended from the heavens, an omnipotent god. It wasn't me who chose to be against humanity, Avengers; it was you who chose to be against humanity. And humanity, in reality, chose me.
Not only Peter, but also Captain America, Tony, and everyone who boarded Ultron's Fortress witnessed it all and heard Ultron's speech.
And a number that appears in Ultron's palm, still rising—a display of the number of people who have joined Ultron.
