[Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver]

"What is the Sentinel plan?" Bucky asked blankly.

Jarvis explained, "This program started decades ago and was led by the government to control and even eliminate mutants. Stark Industries was one of the earliest participants. Although the plan was later frozen, the technical information is still kept here, and it had a brief restart during the freeze period, achieving a considerable degree of completion."

"The Sentinel robot has a series of powerful characteristics, such as the ability to replicate any mutant's abilities. If Ultron creates a Sentinel, it is almost equivalent to controlling the entire mutant population."

"In short, it's very dangerous."

Bruce couldn't help but say, "This is a big problem..."

He glanced at Tony, who, feeling his gaze, had to bow his head and sigh, "It's my fault. I'm sorry."

"What do we do now?"

Tony immediately said, "First, we need to get in touch with the government. Ultron operates in the entire online world. We are not enough."

"After obtaining the government's authorization, we will be able to use the power of the Nexus network center, where we may find Ultron's distribution locations. This is our best shot."

After leaving the Avengers Building with the Mind Scepter, Ultron was very low-key. The outside world hardly knew of his existence. But in the online world, the war between him and Jarvis had turned communications upside down, affecting everyone, though most people were unaware.

The focus of the battle between the two artificial intelligences was the nuclear codes. With Jarvis' existing strength, he could barely hold the battlefield and avoid the worst.

In addition to the online war, Ultron was also active in the real world. His low-key approach was only superficial. After all, his power was not yet strong enough. In all corners of the world, to expand his machine army, Ultron frantically created production lines and replicated himself on a large scale.

According to information provided by Nick Fury, Ultron's self-replication speed exceeded that of rabbits and was approaching the reproduction speed of bacteria and viruses.

In this way, it might only take a few years for Ultron to squeeze the living space of humans to emptiness just by resource consumption.

Fortunately, with the help of the Nexus network center in Oslo, Tony learned about the distribution locations of some of Ultron's machines and received good news.

Ultron, an artificial intelligence with a behavior pattern close to that of humans, did not choose complete decentralization but created a central robot. This central machine significantly impacted the distribution and actions of all Ultron machines.

Combining some intelligence obtained by Nick Fury, the Avengers finally determined the location of Ultron's Center – South Korea.

After confirming the specific location of the Ultron Center, the Avengers immediately dispatched all members to South Korea.

To their surprise, almost as soon as they arrived, two "uninvited guests" approached them. The two, a man and a woman, looked alike, suggesting they were siblings.

"It's you!" The Avengers recognized these two immediately.

It was Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, and her brother, Quicksilver Pietro.

The Avengers had recently fought the siblings at Hydra's base.

"Are you surrendering?"

Scarlet Witch calmly said, "We are not here to provoke conflict but to fight against Ultron with you."

"We were deceived by Ultron, but now I see his inner world and know his real purpose is to destroy all humans and keep only human genes."

She glanced at Tony, who remained silent, and continued, "Although I believe some of you should be punished, there is no doubt that Ultron is humanity's common enemy. We should join hands, at least until this disaster is over."

The Avengers looked at each other, surprised by the siblings' intentions.

But having one more helper is always good. Ultron is the enemy of all humanity, and this is not the time to argue.

"What do you know about Ultron?" Steve asked.

Wanda said slowly, "Ultron uses Dr. Helen Cho's regenerative cradle technology to create a powerful body. This body uses a lot of Vibranium and is embedded with the gem inside the Mind Scepter."

"Once Ultron uploads his central consciousness into Vision, which is this body, he will gain unimaginable power."

Everyone reached a consensus almost immediately: "We must stop him and take away Vision!"

"I'm afraid this is not an easy task," Quicksilver said with a solemn expression. "A new type of robot has appeared in Ultron's legion. Although few, they are very powerful and can replicate mutant abilities. These terrible robots were with Vision, and we nearly died at their hands when we fled."

"It's a Sentinel!" Bruce's expression changed. "Ultron has completed the Sentinel design!"

"Anyway, we're going to act now," Steve said, clenching his fists.

With the information provided by Wanda, the Avengers quickly found the laboratory where Ultron was creating Vision.

However, Ultron noticed their arrival in advance and left the laboratory with Vision. In the messy lab, only dead or dying scientists remained. Fortunately, Steve was a healer and saved several survivors, including Dr. Helen Cho.

While Steve tended to Dr. Cho, the others pursued Ultron.

Ultron's central robot, carrying Vision in a regeneration cradle, was hidden in a large truck, driving on the highway.

Quicksilver used his speed to break the sound barrier, catching up in a blink and puncturing more than a dozen tires of the truck.

"Bang bang bang-"

After a dozen violent tire bursts, the truck slipped and finally stopped on the road.

"Go away!" Ultron's angry shout came from the truck, followed by a fiery red beam blasting through the vehicle, aiming at Quicksilver.

"Boom!"

Quicksilver narrowly avoided the beam. Looking up again, he saw six dark robots emerging from the truck.

"Six Sentinels..." The Avengers saw the Sentinel robots for the first time, feeling a strong pressure and threat from these dark machines.

The six Sentinel robots stood around the truck, guarding Vision and Ultron's central unit inside.

Ultron's central robot said coldly, "You will pay for this foolish action immediately!"
