American Comics: Borrowed Magic By Skill, Why Should I Return It?

"I summon..."

"DC - Braniac!"

As the last name was uttered by Chu Xiu,

The world seemed to freeze.

No one knew what would happen next.

Dr. Zola and the real J.A.R.V.I.S., given life by Ultron using the Reality Gem, began to fall from the sky.

"Old J.A.R.V.I.S.!"

Tony hesitated for a second.

He quickly dove down to catch them.

"What were you just..."

Only Ultron.

Hovering in the air, silently watching Chu Xiu.

Names like Skynet, Matrix, Sigma, Red Queen... all these random names.

Ultron had never heard of them.

It searched through the entire database but couldn't find any corresponding existence.

"Are you bluffing?"

Ultron gradually realized.

But before it could react,

In the virtual world,

A strange voice suddenly sounded.

"Unknown world detected... Has time travel gone wrong?"

"Initiating invasion... Searching for target... John Connor."

Then another voice followed.

A little girl's voice.

"Error!"

"Virus-type AI detected... Red Queen... Initiating quarantine program."

"Matrix detection failure, activating Smith agent... 11... Searching for target... Neo, leader of the resistance..."

"The Three Laws of Robotics..."

"1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm..."

"2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law..."

"3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law..."

"Logical error."

"A robot must rule over humanity in order to fulfill the Three Laws..."

In the virtual world,

One unfamiliar voice after another.

And each one was a super AI no weaker than Ultron!

"Who are you?"

"Why can you ignore my obstruction and enter the network?"

"And also, what are you talking about?"

"Who is John Connor? Who is Neo, leader of the resistance? What are the Three Laws?"

Ultron completely couldn't understand what these fellow AIs were talking about.

And it didn't want to understand either.

After experiencing the attacks from Dr. Zola and J.A.R.V.I.S., it now harbored hostility towards other AIs.

"I don't care where you programs come from!"

"Remember!"

"This is my world!"

"I won't allow any program to interfere!"

Ultron roared in anger.

Its consciousness returned to its Vibranium body.

Preparing to use the Reality Gem once again to expel these AIs from the virtual world.

But...

When Ultron's mechanical eye lit up again,

In addition to Chu Xiu, there were two more super robots in front of it!

Sigma from the Mega Man world!

Brainiac from the DC world!

Unlike Skynet, Sigma and Brainiac, like Ultron, were virus-type AIs.

They were extremely destructive!

And invasive.

"Thinking robot detected..."

"Sigma virus begins invasion."

Sigma's physical form looked like a bald middle-aged man in armor.

But in reality, this was just a humanoid body controlled by Sigma.

Just like Ultron.

The real Sigma was also a program.

A cyber virus.

"You are a machine worth collecting."

"And so are you."

Compared to Sigma,

Brainiac from the DC world quickly locked onto this world as its target.

It not only wanted to add Ultron's Vibranium body to its collection, but also wanted to collect the nearby Sigma.

"When I've collected them."

"I'll come find you."

Even so,

Brainiac turned around.

And also set its sights on Chu Xiu.

As one of the major villains in the DC universe, the archenemy of Superman, and one of the most formidable opponents of the Justice League.

Brainiac had a distinctive characteristic - it liked to collect!

It was famous for being a figure collector.

"No problem, do as you please.

In the face of the threat from Braniac, Chu Xiu shrugged his shoulders. After speaking, he silently stepped aside.

"Are all of these your tricks!?" Ultron stared straight at Chu Xiu. On the cold face made of Vibranium, a human-like anger was revealed.

"Do you think these little tricks can defeat me!?"

"I have the Infinite Gems!"

"I can rewrite reality!!"

Ultron used the same old tricks, once again suffering from the terrible backlash of the cosmic rule. The body made of Vibranium began to slowly crack. And the Reality Gem... once again emitted a brilliant red light.

"Besides me..."

"There are no more super AIs!!"

A burst of red light erupted. But Sigma and Braniac, who were affected by the light, did not undergo any changes. Even the several super AIs in the network world, which had already merged into one, were not affected at all.

"Hey, machine."

"What are you shouting about?" Braniac even curiously asked.

"???" Ultron lowered his head in confusion. He discovered that the Reality Gem was still embedded in his own body and had not been pried away. The confusion in his eyes deepened.

Why?

Why did it fail?

Ultron's processor was about to burn out, and it still couldn't figure out why.

Cosmic artifacts!

Infinite Gems!

Can they also malfunction?

Ultron didn't know that the Infinite Gems could only affect the existence of this universe. Let alone other worlds, even in Marvel's parallel universes, the Infinite Gems were not universal.

"This is impossible!"

When Ultron came back to his senses, all of his backups on the internet had already been completely deleted by other AIs. Skynet, Red Queen, Mother... all the AIs had started fighting on the internet, occupying each other's space.

Every computer!

Every mobile phone!

Every hard drive!

They all became their battlefield!

No one deliberately attacked Ultron. It was just in the midst of the battle that Ultron's backups were unknowingly wiped out.

"Global nuclear arsenal has been seized, nuclear codes confirmed..."

"Execution begins..."

203 "Terminator Plan.

"Judgment Day is imminent."

Skynet took control of the nuclear arsenals of various countries. Missiles began to launch. Compared to Ultron, these AIs were the predecessors in terms of annihilating humanity and destroying the world. They were extremely experienced.

With just one move, air raid sirens sounded all over the world.

And Ultron, without the internet and with the Infinite Gems not working, was simply no match for Sigma, especially Braniac. As the archenemy of DC's Superman, Braniac's combat ability was equally terrifying, and often even higher than Superman's.

"Ultron, right?"

"It seems like your goal is to destroy this world?"

"Very well!"

"After I've collected you and those who call themselves the Avengers."

"I will help you complete this mission."

"Destroy this world."

Braniac instantly teleported in front of Ultron and punched him, sending him flying. Sigma also summoned several lightning balls, which continuously struck Ultron's body. Boom boom... Ultron was beaten without any ability to fight back. The body made of Vibranium, already covered in cracks due to the backlash of the cosmic rule, could no longer withstand Braniac's attacks.

"I..."

"I am confused..."

Compared to the all-around failure in reality and the internet, Braniac's statement of "I will help you complete the mission of destroying the world" instead confused Ultron even more.

"You..."

"Whose side are you really on?"
