Peter then went to the Baxter Building, partly to seek help from Reed Richards, but more importantly, for something he had been overseeing all along.
The mission involves dismantling the multiverse portal.
"Since the news of Ultron's resurrection was confirmed, we have not opened any portals, and have ensured that Ultron's programs do not travel to the multiverse."
As Reed spoke, he countered Peter's question: "But is it really necessary to demolish and destroy it?"
I mean, we might be able to forcibly remove this door, but the components don't need to be destroyed, right? After all, we'll have to rebuild it in the future.
"Let me confirm, Dr. Richards, are you sure you don't have any blueprints for the multiverse travel device on any computer, and that it's only in your own mind?"
"Actually, I don't remember either, but if you give me a few hours, I can redesign it, since it's something I designed."
Reed understood what Peter was trying to do: prevent Ultron from escaping from Universe 616. Several known routes out of Universe 616 included the spatial rift opened by the Norn Stone, Magik's Hell's Limbo, the reality rift torn by Peter, the Sorcerer Supreme's spells, and Reed Richards' portal.
Of all the portals, this is the only one that Ultron can control and easily manage. Peter doesn't want Ultron to use this portal to go to the multiverse. Even the Guardians of the Galaxy smashed their ship's computer to prevent Ultron from running around in countless universes, let alone the multiverse.
Nobody wants Ultron to run rampant throughout the multiverse.
"Alright, it's such a shame that I'll rebuild this portal after the Ultron thing is over. I guess I'll just have to go to the Ediacaran period and study the specific forms of those unknown ancient creatures."
"You've reminded me," Peter said, looking at Reed with a serious expression. "Please also smash the time machine during this time."
Then Peter witnessed for the first time that even a forty-something man like Reed Richards, who was completely devoted to scientific research, could show such a pitiful expression, even looking a little disgusting.
Peter quickly shook his head, banishing the terrible thought from his mind, and then continued to ask Reed about another matter: "Speaking of which, the Sky Sword Bureau's mothership is also Kang's flagship, so it should have a time travel device on board, right?"
"Theoretically, it exists, but we haven't found it. Kang's time travel technology far surpasses ours. The Sky Sword Bureau still hasn't figured out the specifics of this spaceship, so I think it's unlikely we'll find it in time."
Reed sighed after speaking, understanding Peter's meaning: "You mean Ultron may have discovered Kang's time machine, and once it travels to the next point in time, it will be very difficult to destroy it?"
"Yes, what way will we have to deal with an artificial intelligence that theoretically has an infinite iteration time? Unless we can find Conqueror Kang and summon him to help us solve this problem, but as we all know, Conqueror Kang is dead."
And not just dead, but utterly dead. Even if he wasn't completely dead, Peter didn't intend to involve Conqueror Kang in causing trouble, so when faced with the Sky Sword Bureau ship, Peter immediately thought of the most obvious solution.
They even blew up the Heavenly Sword Bureau!
It's just unlikely that it will be possible.
Reed was also thinking about this problem. They hadn't even considered the possibility that Ultron couldn't crack it. In the end, Peter decided to leave the problem to Reed, since he couldn't solve it anyway.
He still had to rush to find Nick Fury.
The address Nick Fury gave him surprised Peter, because it looked like a barbershop in Manhattan. When Peter went inside, the barber looked at him and said, "Hello, sir, what can I do for you?"
"A friend of mine said he wanted to meet me here."
The barber nodded knowingly, then gestured to the barber on the other side who was cutting someone's hair. That barber pushed his customer over, who was none other than Nick Fury, who was getting a haircut.
Although he has no hair.
"Sit down, child, let's get haircuts together."
Peter glanced at the barbers around him: "These people—"
"They are all trustworthy, please sit down."
Peter sat down in the chair with some skepticism, but to his surprise, he didn't see the barber. Instead, he suddenly found himself in an elevator with two chairs inside, which was rapidly descending.
"Mysterio's technology is pretty useful, isn't it? It can create incredibly realistic fakes even without an internet connection, which is most useful in this kind of environment, where nobody even knows if the Nick Fury in front of you is real or fake."
Fury chewed gum as he spoke: "Or maybe this elevator is real or fake, or maybe the speed at which it's going down is real or fake."
Peter paused for a moment: "Actually, I can release my own energy or bioelectricity to sense it directly, or use the shadow vision of Spider-Sense. In short, Mysterio's abilities are actually quite easy to crack."
Nick Fury looked at Peter disapprovingly, then sighed and stood up. "All in all, this is quite useful against our enemies, I'm talking about Hydra, of course."
"That Ultron—"
"This elevator releases a tiny electromagnetic pulse during operation, causing all electronic devices to completely shut down. Here, we're using a classic technology—technology we were using long before the internet existed. Do you know about the Scientific Strategic Force?"
"The Western Allied forces, in order to counter Hydra's technology division, were the precursors to S.H.I.E.L.D."
Fury nodded and then opened the elevator again. Outside the elevator was a line of S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel, or more precisely, people Fury had vetted and absolutely trusted. They were moving back and forth through underground tunnels dating back to World War II, working in the simplest and most unpretentious way: folders, notebooks, and old-fashioned cameras cleaning photos.
"Welcome to the Science and Technology Strategy Unit of S.H.I.E.L.D., a shadow S.H.I.E.L.D. established by certain idealists who refused to reorganize S.H.I.E.L.D. in case S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra were to perish together one day. To prevent Hydra's infiltration, everyone working here uses technology from before the 1950s. No information can be leaked, and there are no networks or signals."
As Fury spoke, he popped a piece of gum into his mouth and looked at Peter: "I never thought this place would come in handy because of an Avenger's invention, but it just so happens to be useful."
