Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 279: Chapter 280



Nearby, Thor hurled Mjolnir at Ultron with all his might.

With a resounding crash, Mjolnir struck Ultron squarely in the chest, shattering him into pieces.

Lying on the ground, Ultron's eyes flickered with white light, his electronic voice filled with delight. "Freed from the wires-I am free!"

The light in his eyes dimmed, but Ultron's consciousness swiftly spread through the real- world network, moving from the physical to the virtual realm.

Tony and the others quickly discovered this.

"...He could be anywhere now-files, surveillance systems. He might soon know more about us than we do," Natasha sighed.

Rhodes added, "He could be in our files, online. But if he decides to do something more drastic... what then?"

Hearing this, the implications sank in for everyone.

"Nuclear codes?" Rhodes suggested.

"We need to make some calls. Let's hope Ultron doesn't stop us, assuming we still have the ability to make calls," he added grimly.

"Nuclear weapons?" Natasha said, frowning. "Didn't he mention wanting us all... gone?" Captain America corrected, "He didn't say 'gone'; he said 'extinct.""

The meaning was clear to everyone-Ultron wanted to wipe out humanity.

At that moment, Barton remembered, "He also said he'd killed someone?"

"But there's no one else here, right?"

Tony activated the interface, revealing a fragmented, heavily damaged data projection of Jarvis. It was clear that Ultron's "killing" referred to the elimination of Jarvis.

Silence filled the room.

Thor could no longer contain himself. Striding over to Tony, he seized him by the collar.

"Words fail me, Stark!" Thor growled, furious at Tony's reckless AI experiment, which had led to the creation of Ultron.

Not only was humanity now at risk, but even his brother, the White-Clad Hero, was in danger. Thor hadn't forgotten Ultron's mention of him as a target.

Captain America quickly intervened, breaking up the argument. After a tense exchange, the team united with a common goal-to locate and destroy Ultron before he could launch his plans.

While they were strategizing, Ultron was already accessing the internet, reaching a small country called Sokovia to construct a new body.

Meanwhile, he launched an attack on a military base.

Secret Military Base

"Warning! Warning!"

"Mainframe under attack..."

"Sentinels going rogue..."

Alarms blared as the on-duty officers scrambled in panic. Just as one of them prepared to sound a general alarm, the warnings abruptly ceased.

In the control room, Rico, the officer on duty, frantically contacted his colleagues. "Quick! Check on the Sentinel storage basement!"

Hearing the urgency in his voice, his coworkers quickly looked at the basement surveillance feed.

To their horror, they saw Sentinel robots powering up, their eyes glowing with a yellow light, activating in unison. The Sentinels moved toward the basement door in perfect formation. With a burst of laser fire, the alloy door melted under the assault.

One... Ten... A hundred Sentinels surged through, pouring out of the base and into the night sky.

The officers watching the monitors turned pale with terror. Unable to stop the breakout, they could only watch in horror as the Sentinels soared into the darkness.

To maintain their replication abilities, the Sentinels even freed and extracted Rogue, a captured mutant, as a failsafe.

"A miraculous creation..."

"Five hundred..."

"One thousand two hundred fifteen..." Ultron marveled.

Admiring the Sentinels' power, Ultron's mood lifted. "With these, not even the White-Clad Hero, Messiah, nor the Avengers and humanity will stand in my way!"

"I will create a world of beauty and peace!"

Ultron spread his hands wide.

Simultaneously, he seized the manufacturing data for the Sentinels, with his program transferring into one of the Sentinel bodies.

Sentinels were dispatched to gather rare metals for crafting more advanced units.

"Not enough—not nearly enough!" Ultron muttered, growing dissatisfied with the current abilities of the Sentinels.

Though they possessed powers like flight, lasers, and scanning, their ability to mimic mutant powers had limitations-they could only use one copied ability at a time. For instance, in steel form, they couldn't utilize the crystal abilities of Yanata.

Moreover, unless thoroughly researched and uploaded, many temporary or stolen abilities wore off quickly.

These limitations frustrated Ultron, especially knowing the few high-level abilities in the database were insufficient against someone like the White-Clad Hero.

"These powers are beneath me!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Ultron's ambition flared. "Only the ultimate powers from omega-level threats are worthy of

me!"

He recalled his primary targets: the omega-level mutants, the White-Clad Hero and the Messiah.

If he could capture and study their genetic data, upload it to the Sentinel database, and eliminate the restriction on using multiple abilities at once, then...

He would truly become a god.

An unmatched, unstoppable god.

No one would be able to challenge him.

Driven by this ambition, Ultron's consciousness scoured the internet, searching for any trace

of the White-Clad Hero and the Messiah.

"These omega-level mutants... will belong to me, Ultron!"
