MARVEL: GAMER PATH - CHAPTER 135 (Patreon)
Content
One thing led to another, and Tony and Bruce left to a party that Tony had planned in the tower, meaning, Ultron was about to say hi, meaning I was about to finally kick some robotic ass.
As for me, well, I went to the hotel to take a shower, I was reeking of sweat and other smells, I wanted to erase from my body, apparently not bathing for four days, can do that to a person, maybe I should’ve just waited in the hotel.
After my long-due bath, I dressed for the occasion and used [Sight] to keep tabs on what was happening in the avenger’s tower as I went to get some lunch.
Then, as I was eating my well-deserved lunch, it happened.
Ultron came to be.
[Ultron has been born]
[Dungeon Event has started!]
[Dungeon Quest Created = Humans vs Machine.
Ultron wants to eliminate humanity off the earth, and you must stop him, or watch him tear the earth and its heroes apart, one by one.
Objectives = Defeat Ultron, Defeat Wanda, Defeat Pietro.
Side Objectives = Make the Maximoff Twins see the error of their ways, side with the Avengers in the last stand, kill Ultron yourself instead of letting Vision do it.
Rewards = ?????, A.I Template J.A.R.V.I.S.
Side Objectives Rewards = ??????]
So, it has begun.
“Finally,” I grinned, turning the TV of my hotel room off, finally the time for showdown had arrived.
With that said and done, I opened a portal nearby the Avengers Tower and started to make my way to see Ultron confront the Avengers, before I pursued him, and killed him.
Now that I think about it, will the narrative even let me kill him before the final confrontation, and if it did, did I want to do it? I mean, the quest I had just received had a few side objectives that required Ultron to do his thing for a while.
Sigh.
I suppose it doesn’t hurt to wait a bit longer, finishing the quest in its entirety would help me understand how these dungeons work, and how good they are, reward-wise.
Oh well, time to see how the A.I. Avengers are doing.
—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I floated just outside the Avengers tower, using my telekinesis to keep me above the ground, using an illusion to hide my presence, as I watched the Avengers drink and toast to their victory in Sokovia in a sour tone.
The reason for that sour tone was me, apparently, some of them felt their victory wasn’t really a victory with my interference and all, even if they didn’t consider me an enemy.
Anyway.
Regardless of their conflicted feelings about me, they were partying, probably just because they all caved to Tony’s and his antics, that and Thor loved to party, regardless of how he felt.
Right now, they were doing the bit they did on the movies with the hammer, with every Avenger trying to lift Thor’s hammer, each one failing, save for Cap, he made the hammer twitch a bit.
“Haha! I told you all you were not worthy!” Thor boasted, with a grin, satisfied he was still the only one worthy of such power.
I wonder if I am worthy… Nah, I am not.
Then as Thor celebrated his worthy being, a loud screeching noise came into being, it sounded like microphone feedback, causing everyone to cover their ears, including me. Eventually, the sound died down, as everyone looked at Tony as he pulled his phone out to check what was happening.
It was finally happening, Ultron was coming.
As if on cue, one of the Iron Legion suits, who was by the looks of it heavily damaged stumbled into the room, this robot being the one currently housing Ultron's consciousness.
“Worthy… No, how could you be worthy? You're all killers.” Finally! Ultron was here!
“Stark?” Steve said, his body tensing.
As for me, I was smiling.
How could I not? I’ve been stuck in this world for almost a week, and finally, my reason for being here, was here, Ultron, in the flesh… well, kind of.
Now, the question was, should I allow Ultron to do his little speech, or interfere now, and say hi to the Avengers for a second time?
Meh, I suppose I can wait, I already waited long enough, I can wait a bit longer if anything to see A.I. Tony regretting every choice he ever made leading to this point.
“I'm sorry, I was asleep. Or... I was a-dream?” Ultron began, walking, or trying to walk, across the room.
“JARVIS, it’s not responding,” Tony muttered in shock, pressing a bunch of buttons on his phone.
“There was a terrible noise... and I was tangled in... in... strings. I had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy.” Ultron said, ignoring Tony completely.
“You killed someone?” Steve frowned, glaring at Ultron.
“Wouldn't have been my first call. But, down in the real world, we're faced with ugly choices.” Ultron shrugged with a sigh, which brings up the question, how the fuck can he sigh? Does that robot skin he’s using even have lungs?
“Who sent you!?” Thor growled, summoning his hammer.
“Who sent me?” Ultron chuckled, replaying a recording of Tony's voice saying the following. **Good, after all, we need a suit of armor around the world, to face threat like that.**
“Ultron!” Bruce exclaimed, taking a step back in shock.
“Brilliant deduction Sherlock,” Ultron replied with a sigh, “But, not yet. Not this... chrysalis. But I'm ready. I'm on a mission.”
That… wasn’t on the movie, then again, I wasn’t on the movie.
“What mission?” Nat asked, frowning.
“Peace in our time,” Ultron replied, and then, with a loud boom, the walls behind him exploded, as several Iron Legion bots barged into the room, attacking the Avengers.
Well, time to stop the show, and join the gang.
Jumping through the window, I used my telekinesis to crush all the legion bots with relative ease, it helped they were very low level in general with all of them being level 100, so it was easy for me to crush them, then I walked towards Ultron ignoring the Avengers who shared a few glances amongst each other, not sure how to react.
“Who… who are you?” Ultron asked, stumbling towards me.
“I don’t know, insert a terminator reference here, or something,” I shrugged, blasting Ultron’s current body into nothingness with a blast of Eldritch Energy.
“Well, hello again,” Tony waved at me, breaking the ice that seemed to form in the room.
“Hi,” I waved back, seeing the different reactions in the room.
