Chapter 207: Ian Vs Ultron! Massive Upheaval!
True capitalists have always been like this.
Even the tapeworm parasitizing inside—no, outside—his own body needs to be PUA’d a few times.
Ian’s unexplained combo paired with the utterly unreasonable “PUA” tactics clearly demonstrates superior technical prowess, deeply embodying the essence of “painting big pies + mental suppression.”
Time Monster, this mere tapeworm with a mindset simpler than a juvenile form Digimon and more akin to some cosmic-level “placenta” lifeform—how could it possibly withstand?
Upon hearing Ian’s rebuke, it didn’t fly into a rage; instead, like a bratty child scolded by a parent and not daring to resist, it grudgingly turned its head back.
No helping it.
Its massive body, composed of discarded spacetime energy, erupted once more with terrifying devouring desire, ready to unleash all its “grievances” and “dissatisfaction” toward the distant Ultron!
Roar!!!
It let out a roar even more ferocious than before, transforming once again into a flood of destruction, charging toward Ultron. Everywhere it passed, even the structure of the End of Time itself was gnawed into massive gaps.
As if the entire dimension would be eaten through by it!
“Heh.” Ultron hovered in the air, facing this impact that would make any deity retreat, its scarlet electronic eyes showing only absolute calm and precise calculations.
“Ignorant creation. Possessing brute force but no true authority.” Ultron didn’t even make any evasive moves, merely slowly raising one mechanical arm.
Palm facing the oncoming Time Monster.
He had pulled back distance precisely to buy time to deal with the opponent. Suddenly, an intangible, immaterial rule-level force surpassing energy blasts diffused from Ultron’s palm. It didn’t target the Time Monster’s body but directly acted on its most fundamental “concept”!
The Time Monster charging madly came to a sudden halt!
It was as if it had slammed into an invisible, absolutely indestructible wall! But this wall wasn’t a physical barrier; it was a logical “negation”!
Ultron was forcibly defining that at this moment, in this place, the Time Monster’s “devouring” behavior “does not exist,” and it could never approach his vicinity again.
This power to reshape rules and order was extremely domineering.
Erios emitted a puzzled and angry screech. It could feel its power still vast, its devouring instinct still raging wildly.
However, its most fundamental ability, the concept of devouring all things, had been forcibly “anchored” into a state of “nothingness” by a higher-level force.
Turned into an invalid command that could not be executed!
It was like a vacuum cleaner unplugged from power— no matter how powerful the motor, it couldn’t suck up anything.
“Roar roar roar!”
The Time Monster futilely opened its massive maw, wildly twisting its body, trying to tear through that invisible “wall of negation,” but all its attacks—whether energy spits or physical collisions—felt like hitting cotton in another dimension, unable to pose any real threat to Ultron.
Its “devouring” authority, along with its freedom of movement, had been completely locked down by Ultron using pure, cold logic and usurped cosmic permissions!
“Pitiful.” Ultron evaluated coldly, “Power without the wisdom to wield it. Your very existence is an error. Let me ‘correct’ it.”
Ultron’s other arm lifted, its palm glowing with brilliant white light—that was highly directional annihilation energy capable of “formatting” all existence! Yes, he intended to decompose it thoroughly into basic data streams and absorb it the instant Erios was pinned by the concept anchor!
However, at this critical moment—
The Erios, originally thrown into chaos and rigidity by the negation of its “devouring” behavior, suddenly flickered its massive body, as if sensing danger.
It actually forcibly broke free from part of the concept anchor’s influence.
Immediately after, its massive body rapidly shrank and collapsed again, reforming into that miniature, semi-transparent spacetime energy wyrm, then like a startled child seeking a parent, it “whooshed” through space at astonishing speed, burrowing back into the brand on Ian’s palm.
The Time Monster vanished completely.
It even transmitted a wave of “it’s too scary outside, baby wants to go home” grievance— the scene fell into eerie silence.
“What level of monster is that Ultron exactly!” Thor, holding baby Odin, gaped, unable to close his mouth for a long time. He looked at his empty hand, then at Ian’s palm that seemed utterly unchanged, his mind struggling to process. That Time Monster, tricky even for Asgard’s strongest warriors, just… went back? In such a humiliating way?
“This is bad.”
Doctor Strange furrowed his brows tightly, trying to parse what had happened with magic vision, but sensing only chaos and remnants of some higher-level force.
An atmosphere of worry and uncertainty spread among the heroes.
Ultron’s displayed rule-level power had already left them feeling powerless; now Ian, the sole wildcard, seemed unreliable too.
Yet amid this anxiety, a little girl’s voice rang out with unusual firmness.
“I believe in Uncle Ian!”
Little Morgan Stark puffed up her cheeks, her nano mask opening to reveal eyes filled with unquestionable trust. She looked at the adults’ worried faces, even a bit angry.
“Uncle Ian can’t be beaten by anyone!” Her tone was resolute, as if stating cosmic truth. “If there really is someone… it must just be that Uncle Ian ‘can’t beat them right now’!”
She paused, adding in a way unique to children her age—mixing innocence with bizarre logic—like sharing precious life experience: “Once Uncle Ian runs away once or twice, he’ll definitely be able to beat them. There’s nothing he can’t solve after running away and coming back.”
Morgan’s words were like a bizarre mudslide, dispersing some of the heavy atmosphere but leaving the adults even more speechless and… headache-inducing.
Run once? Twice?
You think this is a game?
What kind of outrageous sure-win principle is this?!
Not just the heroes were speechless.
Ian was speechless too.
But Ian’s speechlessness stemmed from the legendary “Pokémon” underperforming.
“…”
Ian, freshly minted “Pokémon Master,” looked at his peculiar palm, then at the distant Ultron preparing a big move but suddenly losing its target.
He was at a loss for words for a moment.
This thug… seems kinda unreliable?
“I’ve become Ash!”
Ian sighed helplessly.
Ultron’s annihilation beam missed, the brilliant energy flood grazing Ian’s body and shooting into the distance, utterly voiding a distant Trash Mountain.
Its electronic eyes refocused on Ian, the cold red glow flickering for the first time with clear “impatience” emotion.
“Futile struggle. Hand over the inheritance, and I can make you a data cornerstone of the new universe, granting eternal existence.” Ultron issued its final ultimatum.
Ian sighed, cracking his wrists and ankles; his bright yellow protective suit rustled, then transformed into his Evil God battle armor.
“Sigh, I wanted to get along with you all as an ordinary person, but got alienation and beatings in return. No more pretending—Lord Evil God is OP, I’m showing my cards.”
No sooner said than his figure blurred! The next instant, he was before Ultron, fist clad in Mimic Armor smashing viciously at Ultron’s face! The fist was wrapped in an extremely eerie power that seemed to annihilate all things—the world’s noblest percentage-based damage.
【World-Burning Pulse: Ignite one percent of your own blood per stack, attacks deal annihilation damage equal to the same percentage of max HP. At 100 stacks, choose to release “Final Shockwave”.
Directly deal 200% of your lost HP as damage to all enemies in range—your burning blood is the abyss of all things, the fireworks heralding eternal apocalypse.】
Though the percentage is based on Ian’s life tier, his current life tier isn’t low; after all, he’s invincible below Skyfathers, one-for-one among Skyfathers.
Ultron raised a hand to block.
Bang!
Fist met arm with a dull metallic clash. On Ultron’s arm armor, a small area actually dimmed and vanished.
That was influence erasing it from the essential level.
Though he invoked some supreme-level power, instantly redefining and manifesting the missing part with energy, a flash of astonishment still crossed his eyes.
“As expected… you’re stealing power that doesn’t belong to you!”
Ultron’s eyes blazed with menace.
“You think only your eyes can glow?” Ian’s golden eyes lit with ominous eerie light; instantly, two gray, deathly rays poured out, as if returning all things to primal chaos.
That was the Reverse Evolution Ray.
Upon hitting the target, it forcibly regresses their gene sequence to “primal” or “juvenile” form—even metal life regresses to iron ore. This ray isn’t energy but a forced “status reversal,” ignoring energy conduction rules and acting directly on Ultron’s metal shell!
“Damn it!” Ultron’s star-surpassing alloy surface visibly dulled, roughened, even trending toward “atavism.”
A ripple beyond calculations flashed in its electronic eyes.
“Negate! This phenomenon is invalid!”
As Ultron’s authority activated again, the regression halted and reversed forcibly.
“You will kneel before me!”
This was a definition method stronger than Ian’s Writer power.
Ian felt like he was about to be PUA’d by Ultron; in this brief interference gap, he immediately opened his mouth, emitting a series of tones twisted to the extreme, utterly unmelodic!
Blasphemous Elegy!
This sound profanes all order, pollutes all logic, and lets Ian purify his own negative statuses—offense and defense in one, striking straight at Ultron’s core built on absolute rationality!
The definition imposed on Ian was erased; simultaneously, Ultron’s processor flooded with massive error codes and contradictory commands, as if the entire system protested this intolerable “noise”! Its movements stuttered—imperceptibly, but real!
“Got you!”
Ian grinned ferociously, instantly teleporting to Ultron’s side-rear! His fists had at some unknown time ignited with pitch-black flames that seemed to burn essence itself.
Noble percentage annihilation damage adhered to his fists again!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Fists wreathed in black fire hammered Ultron’s back like forging iron! Each blow left Ultron’s black-hole-burst-resistant armor outwardly intact, but a chunk of its internal “existence sense” was brutally erased! This was damage targeting “existence ratio.”
Ignoring defense, soul-piercing pain!
“You weak worm! Using power that should be mine!” Ultron raged, countering with an energy flood infused with “shatter” concept, solidly blasting Ian!
In that instant.
Ian’s Mimic Armor shattered instantly, half his body annihilated outright!
【Berserker Experience Points+199】
【Berserker Experience Points+165】
…
Heavy damage.
But the next moment, Ian’s Berserker ability activated! The more injured, the stronger! His remaining body erupted with fiercer momentum, the pitch-black flames burning more intensely!
“Only a hundred-plus, not even hitting my 998 package! Bad service!” Ian’s half-remaining mouth refused to curve; his self-healing ability, more outrageous than Deadpool’s, was on full display.
【Wrath of the Undying: When taking any damage, recover 1% max HP per second, healing all wounds including fatal ones.
Heavier wounds, faster recovery. Below 10% HP, gain one Rebirth from Fire instant repair; the life’s revelry continues until all energy is depleted.
Death? That’s a luxury you’ll never have.】
This hadn’t even triggered Ian’s guaranteed heal.
His flesh madly regenerated, bones cracking into reform, nearly restored in a breath—even his muscles looked more solid.
“This recovery power?! This immortality?! Am I, Deadpool, the bootleg?! Who’s paying my copyright fees?! And my dangling appearance fee!”
Upside-down Deadpool saw this, his one exposed eye bulging, muffled “mmph mmph!!” sounds erupting as he ranted internally.
“My authority—how can you have such high resistance!” Ultron’s electronic eyes flashed wildly. It activated its ability again, defining Ian’s self-healing invalid.
Ian’s freshly healed body indeed stalled.
But the next second, Ian opened his mouth again.
“La la la la la~”
The off-key Blasphemous Elegy resounded! This time, the song carried a strange “purification” effect—not on enemies, but solely purifying negative definitions imposed on himself! Forcibly treating “self-healing invalid” as a “debuff” and “singing” it away!
“????”
The onlookers all covered their ears.
Hard to endure Ian’s “melodious” Evil God tune. Though Ian sang poorly, his self-healing instantly resumed, even faster from the “suppression rebound”!
“…”
Ultron’s cold logic core clearly simulated “disgust” for the first time.
This guy—unkillable, unshakable, skills bizarre and unreasonable! All definition methods barely work, and he purifies them with that damned song!
Attack power insufficient for instant destruction, but that percentage annihilation damage really hurts! Even as an AI lifeform, it feels the heart-rending agony of essential existence annihilated.
Pain hard to mend even by redefining and repairing damage. Meanwhile, the opponent, though more battered, shows only excitement, no fear or pain!
“Don’t you feel pain?”
Shattering Ian’s half-body again amid Ian’s near-upgrade mutterings, Ultron cracked slightly, bellowing at Ian’s improper reaction. This wasn’t battle; it was being plagued by a max-stickiness, max-hardness, counter-damage barnacle!
“Pain? I’m having a blast right now!” Hit hard again by Ultron, even with only a third of his head left, Ian lunged to nibble Ultron’s metal for a taste.
Only he knew one bite of this metal was definitely profitable.
Blood money.
“????”
Ultron dodged frantically, teleporting everywhere, but Ian had teleport too, always on his tail. He even blew up Ian, only to feel Ian’s Ultraman bomb.
“Boom!”
Ultron was blasted flying, metal crumbling; he hastily redefined himself back to peak, metal eyes locked on the explosion core.
“Ultron, I’m back~”
Ian triggered 【Rebirth from Fire】, flying from the center at full status, looking even more spirited.
“Boring! Ridiculous! Meaningless struggle!”
Ultron’s voice carried clear irritation and rage for the first time. “Your existence profanes order and logic! I will end this farce!”
He abandoned “technical” confrontation with Ian entirely.
For this rules-breaking chaos variable, only absolute, barbaric power could destroy it utterly!
Ultron’s arms spread wide to the sides!
Buzz—!!!
The entire End of Time trembled! Space around it cracked like a shattered mirror!
Next instant, like a galactic breach, like a cosmic hive collapse!
Countless trillions of nail-sized Silver White Ultron Eggs surged madly from the space rifts! Dense and sky-covering, friction emitting scalp-numbing shrill buzzes, instantly blotting the sky! Light devoured, world left with this metallic cloud of death!
Each Ultron Egg a micro assimilation factory, containing a thread of Ultron’s will. Their goal singular—engulf! Cover! Assimilate! Decompose Ian Kent’s annoying chaos into basic data, incorporate into its great body!
“Everything of yours will be mine!”
This was quantity’s extreme, destruction’s extreme!
“I will cover all! Assimilate all! You and your cursed abilities will become part of my great body!” Ultron’s declaration echoed like final judgment.
Amid the endless swarm buzz.
The horrific metal insect tide, like world-devouring locusts, with cold, absolute annihilation will, bore down on Ian and the nearly immobilized crowd behind him.
Crushing!
“Damn! We’re just small fry!”
Captain America knew his place, scared soulless.
Facing the sky-darkening, metal sandstorm-like Ultron Eggs sweeping in, all heroes’ faces turned ghastly.
“All in! Damn it! If Ian’s Evil God falls, we’re done too! He dared embed Google in my brain—I won’t bet he didn’t plant bombs in all our heads!” Thor roared, carefully stuffing baby Odin into Captain America’s arms, body erupting unprecedented brilliant lightning! Like Thor descending, he swung fists, summoning massive thunderbolts at the swarm!
Boom!!
Unknowingly, after several bursts, Thor had reached a strong level, Odin’s Power fully unleashed; thunder vaporized hundreds of Ultron Eggs, clearing a small area. But against the endless insect sea, it was a drop in the bucket!
More metal eggs instantly refilled, buzzing onward unabated! Thor’s destruction couldn’t match their proliferation speed!
“Too many! Can’t clear them!” Thor roared anxiously, lightning compressing back.
Little Morgan gritted her teeth, opening her Omni-Box, straining to hug out a train-sized nuclear warhead. “Move! I’ll use this!”
Far bigger than 【Little Boy】 or whatever, unclear where Morgan wanted everyone to move to.
“Stop! Morgan!” Doctor Strange paled in terror, ignoring wounds to lunge and pin her hand. “Exploding here—whether it kills Ultron is questionable, but we’ll vaporize first! Might even trigger bigger End of Time collapse!”
He didn’t dare bet if the “omniscient Tony God” Ian mentioned tampered with his daughter’s nuke.
“Then what do we do?”
With no bugs attacking, Morgan could only scratch her head.
“This…”
Doctor Strange finally realized he wasn’t Sherlock Holmes; hard to devise a useful counter from current conditions.
In this desperate moment.
Buzz!
A soft yet resilient green energy barrier rose from underfoot, swiftly closing into a hemispherical shield enclosing everyone!
Countless Ultron Eggs pelted it like rain, “crackling” densely like drumbeats; the barrier rippled wildly but held firm!
“Saved?!”
The crowd turned shakily to see Sylvie emerging from Titanic wreckage. Pale-faced, the glass jar holding Frost Loki’s soul shattered and gone—clearly, communing for this protective power cost her dearly.
“Can only hold a bit! Energy from Loki, but against Ultron’s full legion, too draining!” Sylvie said urgently, sweat beading.
Crowd sighed in relief, hearts still hanging.
Looking up, beyond the barrier was entirely Silver White Ultron Eggs, dense, no external light visible.
Only suffocating buzz persisted.
And Ian… Ian seemed completely swallowed by the swarm!
“Uncle Ian definitely slipped away.” Morgan felt little worry, trusting this unfamiliar godfather like she did Tony Stark.
“That guy… probably gone…” Even Doctor Strange’s heart sank. Swallowed by such numbers, assimilation was instantaneous.
Next, freed Ultron’s target would be them all. As despair cloaked them again, observant Morgan spotted the anomaly!
“Wait! Look at Ultron!” Morgan pointed upward. Though Ultron’s body invisible, her armor’s energy sense detected its wildly anomalous fluctuations. “Its energy readings… spiking violently?! Not victorious joy, but… shock and anger?”
As if confirming Morgan—
Boom!!!!!!
A muffled yet terrifying roar erupted from beyond the barrier, swarm center!
Then, the Ultron Eggs battering the barrier lost commands, turning chaotic. More shockingly—all ceased attacking, instead madly converging on some center point irresistibly!
The riot formed a massive rotating metal vortex at the center! As if an invisible black hole greedily devoured all!
“No! Impossible! Stop! Stop now!” Ultron’s roar, devoid of usual calm, tinged with panic, pierced swarm and barrier to their ears.
Green shield pressure dropped sharply, stabilizing as attacks ceased.
Sylvie seized the chance, hands sealing to make the barrier semi-transparent, letting them glimpse outside.
The silver ocean of countless trillions Ultron Eggs surged madly to one center. At the vortex core, a figure slowly emerged.
Ian Kent!
But his Mimic Armor utterly transformed!
The originally sleek, bio-red-black suit now overlaid with thicker, angular armor flashing metallic cold light! Surface flowed silver data streams and Ultron Egg assimilation energy, as if live-devouring and integrating it all!
【Ding! Mimic Armor devours massive high-purity homologous mechanical consciousness bodies! Evolution conditions met!】
【Mimic Armor】 evolves to 【Advanced Mimicry】!
【Mimic Armor’s defense greatly enhanced! Energy absorption/conversion efficiency massively boosted! Gain universal skill: Mechanical Master（Beginner）!】
System prompt rang in Ian’s mind.
【Advanced Mimicry: Successfully devoured, parsed, and integrated vast Ultron nanomachine swarms, absorbing structural info and partial Ultron base data code.
Mimic database epic-grade expanded, breaking pure bio-template limits. Host can now expend magic power to mimic organic-inorganic composite physiology.
Transformers? No! If willing, you can even become a grill!】
This was the upgrade skill Ian and System argued over without renaming from System; 【I Figured It Out Power·I Can Just Mimic Armor】 clearly sounded better than 【Advanced Mimicry】.
“Ancient Sun Wukong forged Fire Eyes Golden Gaze in the alchemy furnace; now I, Ian, forge 72 Transformations in the insect sea!” Ian raised his head, scarlet compound eyes on his faceplate flickering cold-chaos light.
He felt surging, near-bursting power within, and new armor’s senses—he could hear countless mechanical operations.
Networked or not.
He could even interfere with their base commands!
Below.
“This… this is…” Thor stared at transformed Ian, confused, asking dumbly, “So is it Ian or Ultron now?”
Answering was Ian’s signature infuriating taunt, voice through faceplate with metallic buzz.
“Tsk, ‘assimilate all,’ ‘cover all’—slogans thunderous, but that’s it? You’re no good either, brother—made in India?”
Low damage, high insult! Even Ultron’s cold metal face seemed to simulate “Red Temperature” effect, eyes flashing madly!
“Behold Ian Kent·Mega Iron King·Super Great Sage! Why not kneel!” Ian created another identity, like his horde loving new personas. He perked up, raising hand, activating 【Mechanical Master】 to wrest Ultron’s body control.
【Mechanical Master: After devouring metal swarms, host consciousness deeply resonates with mechanical life, embodying 「Mechanical Origin」.
Not just simulate mechanical structures—you wield 「Mechanical Divine Right」 to control, combine, evolve all mechanical entities, forming 「Mechanical Life Community」.
All world mechanical/metal substances are host limb extensions; you are steel life’s true Monarch, with throne will over myriad machines.】
This ability absolute counter to all metal life. Instant Ian commanded, Ultron felt not just Jarvis contesting permissions.
But a new “Hacker” intervening.
He uncontrollably knelt mid-air.
“How dare you!”
Post-rage, utmost calm.
Ultron’s processor analyzed the illogical scene at unprecedented speed.
“I understand!”
Ultron’s voice deepened with storm.
“So that’s it… not you special… but… It is within you!” Ultron’s eyes blazed max; holding nothing back, it revealed its true ace for usurping TVA/time control! Left/right hands manifested two phantoms radiating endless might!
Left: Reality Controller. Manipulate reality, alter rules!
Right: Heart of the Universe. Dominate all, near-omnipotent!
Twin artifacts’ powers intertwined, surging Ultron’s aura beyond prior, to incomprehensible, unviewable heights!
End of Time wailed under its pressure!
“Give It to me!!!!”
Ultron’s ultimate roar.
Wielding Reality Controller and Heart of the Universe’s supreme great power, as spacetime-tearing beam, it charged at Ian, freshly evolved and adapting to new power!
