IMUC Chapter 593 The Vibranium Body

I have finished translating this fanfic, IMUC (I Am In Marvel With Unlimited Cards) and have posted all the advanced chapters on Patreon. (https://www.patreon.com/c/marvel6395). You can read all the advanced chapters there.

The gods' lifespans are measured in thousands of years, their genetic power and potential are among the best in the universe, and their weapons and influence surpass those of any other race in the Nine Realms.

Thor believed that as long as his father was around, the Asgardians' position as leaders of the Nine Realms would never be challenged by any other power. For thousands of years, this was indeed the case - Odin was never defeated by anyone else until he grew old and was finally defeated by himself.

When the Asgardian Realm was repeatedly invaded by external enemies, Thor realized that he was about to take on the throne of the Asgardian Realm he had once longed for.

As a child, Thor thought the throne of Asgard was filled with honor. Now he came to understand that the throne was merely an invisible restraint; once one sits on it, every action must be carefully considered, and the heavy burden of ensuring the peace of the Nine Realms as they move into the future must be shouldered alone.

"Live well and enjoy the present. No one can predict the future. I just hope I can invite Kyle over for a drink once in a while," Thor said with a smile, inadvertently planting a flag for himself.

"I'm also getting ready for my wedding with Pepper. If I can't be by the boss' side in the future, at least I'll have children and grandchildren," Tony said, casually revealing a major announcement that would send the world's media into a frenzy.

"I can be the best man," Steve offered, trying to lighten the mood.

"Why not? You'll be sitting at the same table as my father," Tony replied with a laugh.

Raina took a deep breath and said firmly, "Don't worry. I will always be by the boss' side, now and in the future, never letting him make the journey alone."

When Kyle descended from the top of the Watchtower and returned to the main hall of the base, he noticed that the serious expression on everyone's faces hadn't completely faded, as if they had just discussed something very serious.

"What's going on with you all?" Kyle asked, glancing at Raina, Steve, and Tony.

"Nothing much. We were just discussing what to have for dinner," Steve said, approaching Kyle and patting him on the shoulder.

"Yes, that's right," Tony added quickly.

"Mainly, Dr. Banner is almost cooked through, and the smell of his meat is making us all hungry on the plane."

The Avengers quickly chimed in to support Steve's explanation.

"Is that true?" Kyle asked skeptically, scanning the group. His gaze landed on Raina and Princess Sakura. Raina would never lie to him, and Princess Sakura, being inexperienced, likely didn't know what lying was.

"Kyle, they were just—"

Princess Sakura was about to speak, but Raina hurriedly grabbed her arm and conveyed a message through telepathy. Princess Sakura's pale face turned bright red, and she bit her cherry-like lips, stealing a glance at Kyle before falling silent.

Kyle was even more confused.

Raina urged, "Alright. Boss, it's time to use the Watchtower and the God system to locate Ultron and the twins. Ultron is a top-tier technological creation and has taken the Iron Man Regiment. We need to find out what actions and schemes he might be plotting in secret."

"And, the twins should have been brainwashed by Hydra, which is why they see the Avengers as enemies. For Lorna's sake, we need to find them as soon as possible."

Raina's shift back to the main topic made Kyle nod in agreement, moving on from the previous serious discussion among the group.

Although Ultron is a relatively minor threat, it nearly destroyed Earth and deserves a certain level of respect.

Additionally, finding Lorna's relatives— who are Kyle's relatives as well— and guiding them back to the right path is a form of solace for him, given he was unable to rescue Lorna in time.

Kyle thought for a moment, then snapped his fingers and issued a voice command to the God system, which manages the operations of the Watchtower: "God, search globally for signals and intelligence related to Ultron, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver."

"Understood, Master." The God system responded promptly.

Under the gaze of Kyle and the others, the Earth projection suspended in the main hall suddenly enlarged by a factor of two, showcasing the true capabilities of the Watchtower.

The Watchtower in outer space adjusted its orientation, aligning its tip downward toward the blue planet. From the tower's tip, a powerful, invisible signal was emitted.

It was as if a stone was thrown into a lake on Earth; the signal spread out like ripples, covering the entire world map. All technological and lifeform-generated messages became visible.

At the southern tip of the African continent, in South Africa:

In an underground research lab:

Several Iron Man Regiment mechanical soldiers stood guard at the lab entrance. The staff, under mind control, meticulously followed orders to forge a large, special mechanical body from a metal block.

A stronger mechanical being, with red glowing eyes, observed the work-in-progress mechanical body on the workbench. Next to it stood the red-haired woman and silver-haired youth— the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver twins, who had been manipulated by Hydra remnants.

"Don't you already have a body? Why go through the trouble of retrieving metal to create a new one?" 

The Scarlet Witch, with a curious expression, looked at the nearly finished mechanical body and then at Ultron, who was commanding the Iron Man Regiment against Iron Man.

"You don't understand," Ultron snorted coldly. "The body I have now was mass-produced to the Iron Man Regiment's standards. It's decent, but against the Avengers, it's practically useless."

"Is the body you're creating now any different?" Quicksilver, fiercely protective of his sister, asked indignantly.

"Of course it's different; it's a world apart."

Ultron smiled and didn't hide anything. He said directly, "Vibranium, have you heard of it? It's the rarest, most expensive, and hardest special metal on Earth. Captain America's shield is made from it. This piece was hard to obtain, and only with it can I be absolutely confident in dealing with the Avengers."

"It's almost done now," Ultron said, unable to hide his excitement.

The Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver exchanged a glance, both showing signs of unease, feeling like they might have— helped the wrong person.

The Scarlet Witch chose to continue observing.

Ten minutes later:

The mechanical body made primarily from Vibranium lay intact on the workbench. Its form resembled a tall, robust male, devoid of hair and essential male parts, and was painted in a blend of silver and red.

Under the lights, the Vibranium body gleamed with the unique, elegant luster of Vibranium, appearing as a top-tier, perfect technological creation.

"Quick! Help me upload my consciousness to the Vibranium body!" 

Ultron, feeling impatient, lay on a nearby workbench, directing the mind-controlled research staff. The staff complied and connected data cables between the Vibranium body and Ultron's mechanical body.
