Chapter: 297

Dang~ Dang~ Dang~ Dang!

Footsteps echoed in the empty laboratory, and the atmosphere in the air froze in an instant. The avengers hidden within were all fully focused, waiting for the right moment to strike.

However, in the next second, when Natasha saw only Quicksilver appearing in front of her, even with her extensive experience as a seasoned veteran agent, she felt the situation was getting tricky.

Their previous plans did not account for this unexpected situation, where Quicksilver showed up alone without Ultron and Scarlet Witch by his side.

This meant that all their prearranged setups might lose their meaning, and the upcoming actions would be very challenging. "What should I do now, Mark?"

Sensing the unfavorable situation, Natasha quickly turned to Mark, the planner of the operation, hoping to receive the next set of commands.

As she hoped, Mark's orders did come. However, this one command left Natasha feeling even more perplexed.

The action instruction she received from Mark was, "Abandon the mission and protect yourselves."

In fact, Natasha was not the only one who received this order from Mark. He had issued the same command to all members of the Avengers.

Nevertheless, without a detailed explanation from Mark, everyone found this command baffling.

Despite the sea of questions and doubts in their minds, they didn't hesitate to act upon the order and quickly abandoned all their plans, preparing to evacuate the area.

But among them, there was one person faster than all others, and that was Quicksilver, who had entered the laboratory alone.

Before any of the Avengers could even resist, Quicksilver was already by their side. His sole objective was to remove the emotion controllers they wore on their heads.

Except for Tony and Mark, whose emotion controllers were integrated into their battle suits, Quicksilver succeeded in removing all the emotion controllers used to defend against mind control.

Even Mark had not anticipated that Quicksilver's first move would directly target their weak point, putting them in a significant disadvantage.

Prior to this, the reason Mark issued the order to abandon the mission was that he saw Quicksilver wearing a pair of goggles.

This pair of goggles was a piece of equipment he had not used before, and its purpose was to allow Quicksilver to see through the illusions created by the AR devices.

Therefore, Mark knew that the carefully crafted plan had already failed the moment Quicksilver entered the laboratory. But now, as Quicksilver's further actions continued to exploit their vulnerabilities and completely restrain them, Mark realized that this failure was not as simple as it seemed.

If it wasn't for a traitor within their Avengers team who leaked their ambush plan to Ultron in advance, then it must be someone within Ultron's team who knew Mark very well. Only that could explain why every step of Mark's plan was anticipated by the enemy.

"The time of announcing the plan was just before the action began. From the moment we entered the laboratory to setting up the ambush, there was not enough time for Ultron and his team to prepare such a thorough counter-response.

Moreover, based on what I know from the previous movies and my personal experience in this world, it's impossible for any of the Avengers to betray their comrades.

So, the first possibility can be ruled out directly. And the second possibility...

The person who knows me best besides my dad is Pepper. Clearly, they would never join Ultron's side. So, the second possibility is also completely ruled out.

Besides, I completely cut off and shielded all wired and wireless networks in the conference room before the meeting. It couldn't be information collected by Ultron himself.

So, what's going on? Could Ultron have taken the Ancient One hostage and forced her to use the Time Stone to predict the future?

But that's even less likely. Putting aside the fact that Ultron probably doesn't even know about the Ancient One, even if he did, he wouldn't have the power to coerce her into working for him!"

Even for someone as clever as Mark, a transmigrated person with extraordinary abilities, without the necessary information, he couldn't figure out the reason behind this situation.

He only knew that if they didn't leave this place quickly, Ultron's next move would surely give them a big headache.

As expected, just as Mark speculated, after Quicksilver completed his task, his sister, Scarlet Witch - Wanda Maximoff, entered next.

Ultron's plan was now apparent: he aimed to use Scarlet Witch's mind-control abilities to render all of them completely incapacitated.

And that wasn't even the most troubling part for them.

With the emotion controller removed, the Hulk became like a nuclear bomb without safety measures. Once Scarlet Witch used her ability to "detonate" him, the consequences in Seoul would be unimaginable.

At that moment, the Avengers' heroic image in the eyes of the public and the mutual trust they had built over the years would be shattered. Doctor Banner's favorable reputation among the public would also be reset to zero, and he would become infamous.

"Natasha, quickly activate the energy shielding control device. They want to manipulate the Hulk's consciousness and drive him completely insane. We must not let the Hulk out!

The original mission was to deal with Ultron's people and keep the Hulk as far away from Wanda as possible. The rest of the team's target remains the same. Now that we can't leave, we will stick to the original plan and take down Ultron's lieutenants first."

In order to prevent the enemy's plan from succeeding, Mark made a quick decision and changed their approach, immediately isolating the entire laboratory before Scarlet Witch could act.

At the same time, he redirected the methods initially intended for Ultron towards the Hulk. Although the main act of this drama had yet to take the stage, they had no room for hesitation at this critical moment.

Since Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch had presented themselves, whether considering the risks on their side or planning for the future confrontation with Ultron, they had to take down the twins in this operation.

With the change in orders, the Avengers reacted swiftly and acted quickly. They soon completed the deployment according to the new plan, as if everything had returned to their control.

However, at that moment, a familiar scepter penetrated the energy shielding field that Mark had set up, unnoticed by everyone. It gently touched the Hulk's chest, and the situation reversed once again...
