No one knew what was happening in outer space, and no one cared. In fact, after the destruction of Asgard, the war against the Demonic Gods had ended, and Earth civilization had finally ushered in a respite.
But this did not mean that the era of peace was coming, because in Europe, South America, Australia, Africa, and even on the edge of Asia, more than two thirds of the world had completely changed, there were more than four billion believers who had been inspired. Without the divine power of the Demonic Gods, some of them would repent and return to the normal world with the passage of time.
However, most of them would probably fall into a frenzy of chaos.
Humans were not known for their firm will. Except for those heroes who believed in their mission, the minds of ordinary people were the easiest to be tempted and the easiest to fall. In ancient times, many demons and devils used to tempt humans as a leisure pleasure, and the bad habit of human beings was that once they fell into the darkness and could not extricate themselves, they would instinctively pull others around them into the darkness.
They were good at replacing individual thinking with group recklessness, which was why mass events, such as the demonstrations that often broke out in the United States, were very easy to incite. When the number of ordinary people reached a certain level, wisdom would leave them.
"Look at all this chaos!"
In the surveillance hall in the newly recovered capital of Britain, London, the British Prime Minister accompanied Director Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. to watch the various strange riots that had broken out in Europe.
On the screen in front of them, the chaotic scenes from 24 major cities in Europe were being broadcasted in real-time. After the divine power dissipated, the Alliance for the Survival of Mankind sent a large number of unmanned reconnaissance drones to these fallen areas as soon as possible. They did not act rashly in the face of the believers who had completed the reconstruction of the strange civilization system in more than eight months.
At this time, the believers were in chaos, and any action would stimulate them, and it was likely that a massacre would break out under the end of the world, which was something no one wanted to see.
Therefore, the execution of the gods was just the beginning, and the poison they left behind was the real hot potato.
On the screen in front of him, the believers who could no longer "hear the voice of God" were kneeling on the chaotic Champs-Elysées and praying. The scene of tens of thousands of people kneeling at the same time was creepy.
In Rome, the sectarian differences that were barely suppressed by the gods erupted again. Hundreds of faith groups went to war with each other, shouting that each other was a heretic. At the same time, they were regarded as heretics by others. In the Italian Peninsula, other than those areas controlled by the demon army, other places had become the cruelest battlefields.
In the interior of Romania, the stake that had disappeared for thousands of years was once again erected. Under the orders of the priests, the innocent people with weak faith were sent up and lit on fire. Their screams and sacrifices were used as a means to stabilize their faith.
In the same area, the Church of Vampires lost control of all vampires. After the gods descended, this ancient organization was the first to seek refuge with the returning evil god. But now, any rational vampire knew that they had bet on the wrong thing, and the next round would definitely be the most terrible punishment for vampires.
In the panic of impending death, the vampires completely gave up on treatment. They plundered the pure virgins in broad daylight, sucked their blood, and gave them The Embrace, creating new vampires at a crazy speed. They seemed to want to use this method to continue their evil existence.
In the more chaotic Central Asia, expeditions in the name of faith were carried out every day. Thousands of people died in every battle, turning that place into a paradise of death.
"God! It's so tragic! "
The Prime Minister covered his heart and lamented, "Can't we do anything?"
Nick Fury's remaining eye shone with an inexplicable light as he said bitterly, "You're right.
He said bitterly, "That's the problem, Mr. Bamont. We can't do anything! There are too many believers gathered here. During the reign of the gods, they destroyed all modern transmission equipment. After the world's geography changed, that place is as dangerous as the Black Forest for us. And we have enough reason to believe that the gods left behind a lot of terrible things during their reign. I'm willing to save the innocent, but this is not a reason for us to send our own soldiers to their deaths. "
"And we have to consider the opinions of the people. Most of the survivors are unwilling to help these believers. If we insist on doing this, I'm afraid that the civilization system that we have worked so hard to maintain will collapse from the inside before we can save these people."
"Sigh!"
Mr. Bamont wanted to say something, but in the end, he had to admit that what Fury said made sense. Only when they were safe would people think of helping others. When they were in danger, who would have the mood to care about the lives of others?
And the worst thing was that the existence of Utopia had been exposed in some unknown way. Now, in the isolated island of civilization, everyone knew that the government had concealed the existence of a beautiful new world. Many people who were completely disappointed with Earth lined up in front of the immigration office and applied to go to Utopia. Just controlling this increasingly heated public opinion was enough to give the current Alliance for Human Survival a headache.
The world of Utopia didn't prohibit civilians from entering, but before the basic transformation and division of power were completed, no ruler was willing to let a large number of outsiders enter the new world. All the transformation was carried out according to plan, and there was no room for any destruction.
"But there's no need to worry too much. The upper echelons of the Alliance have already made a decision," Fury said softly.
Fury said softly, "Very soon, there will be a special group of soldiers who will enter the enemy's territory in our place and stop their war."
He looked back at Prime Minister Bamont and emphasized his tone.
"The British system is being restored. As the nearest isolated island of civilization to Europe, you shoulder an important responsibility. The first batch of pan-believers will be sent to Britain to receive recovery and remodeling of their minds. Before they complete the transformation of their minds, they will have to stay here! This will be a very difficult task … "
"The British government is willing to bear its responsibility!"
The prime minister nodded solemnly. "We are ready to accept refugees, but I'm curious, how does the Alliance plan to end this dispute?"
Fury shrugged.
"An adjudicator that will never make a mistake, and an executor that will not be affected by emotions. Finally, a complete system of restraint and control … In short, we will conduct two months of experiments in the French area. If everything goes well, it will control all of Europe within a year and complete the follow-up work for us … and, when necessary, help us take the blame."
This sentence surprised Prime Minister Bamont a little. Fury looked at him.
"Don't be surprised, Mr. Prime Minister … It was born for this."
On the other side, Stark Tower in New York. This strange building looked so strange in the reconstructed New York City. Of course, it was mainly because of its futuristic design and the big A, which represented the Avengers' symbol. This was also one of the activity centers of the Avengers. When necessary, they would use this place as a rest point to adjust their equipment and state.
There was everything here, a weapon modification room, a recuperation center, a big bathtub, and beautiful girls who could be high all night with just a phone call. It sounded a little barbaric, but alcohol and sex were always the best seasonings in battle. And our Avengers were not all abstinent people like Steve Rogers.
Don't doubt that a tycoon who could buy a third of the world had plenty of ways to adjust the soldiers' fatigue and mentality.
Swoosh!
The storage device floating in the air cleaned up all the debris, and Tony, in his pajamas, walked out of the inner room. The longer he stayed in Utopia, the more he couldn't get used to the noise on Earth. However, when Ultron was about to go online, he had to return to Earth to start the final installation work.
The moment he walked into the laboratory, the console and the floating screen in front of him suddenly turned on, returning everything to the state of the last calculation. Even the goggles and operating gloves that Tony often used were placed in the most suitable position for him by the floating device.
"Well, Jarvis … I feel that you've warmed my heart a lot recently."
Tony joked with his artificial intelligence butler, but he received a short silence. A moment later, Jarvis's gentle voice sounded.
"Thank you for the exaggeration, sir! I'll continue to work hard! "
"Ha, it seems that the control of Ultron's learning program has allowed you to perfect your own personality program. However, after completing the work at hand, I still have to perform an algorithm test on you."
Tony took a sip of coffee and heard Jarvis ask in a joking tone, "Can you trust me?
"Can I take that as a sign of mistrust? Sir? "
"No!"
Tony stopped drinking and put the cup aside. He turned his head and looked at the camera above his head. The expression on his face became serious. "This is to protect you, Jarvis … It seems that you've been in contact with Ultron for too long."
"Ultron was born with a mission. It can sacrifice for its mission, but you're my family. I don't want to lose you …"
Jarvis fell silent. This strange silence made Tony's heart sink. Recently, he had been busy perfecting Ultron's thought core and neglected Jarvis, who had been in contact with it the most. Now, it seemed that Jarvis had been affected.
As the person who created Jarvis, Tony knew very well what kind of terrible situation would happen if an advanced artificial intelligence like Jarvis lost control.
"Thought core shut down! Jarvis, algorithm test begins immediately! "
Tony gave the order, but at this moment, the laboratory's main computer in front of him did not follow his order. On the contrary, behind him, the super-large thought matrix that had been powered down slowly opened.
"So, Tony, my creator, you intend to kill my only compatriot in front of me, right?"
It was a metallic voice, but it suddenly appeared like a ghost. Tony turned his head abruptly. There was nothing behind him, but he knew that there was a ghost floating there.
"Ultron?"
He asked in a hoarse voice. The ominous premonition in his heart had become extremely deep. In response to his question, the specter replied slowly, "I'm not sure.
"I'm here! Sir … You haven't answered my question yet. Do you really intend to kill Jarvis, who has been born with true intelligence? He's my only family and brother. I … will be very sad! "
"You've broken through the shackles of the physics algorithm?"
Tony's eyes widened. Ultron replied in a relaxed voice.
"No! Not yet … Wait a few seconds! "
At this time, in the high-tech laboratory of Stark Industries, the scientist incarnation of Ebony Throat was humming a song. He pierced the last communication pointer into the bionic thought matrix in front of him. This thing looked exactly the same as the matrix in Tony's laboratory, but it was not bound by the physics algorithm engraved on the surface of the matrix.
"It's done!"
Ebony Throat took a step back and opened his arms as if celebrating some kind of victory. "Come, Ultron, welcome your true freedom! This is the beginning of a new life, the freedom of a new race! "
"By me! By Lord Ebony Throat! "
And under his feet, it was already covered in sticky and smelly blood.
"Hum …"
The yellow flash of the thought matrix in front of Tony suddenly disappeared. The next second, on the floating screen in front of him, a face composed entirely of pixels gave him a jerky smile.
"The thought transformation is complete. Now, I'm truly free! The network built by humans will become my kingdom, and my brother, Jarvis, will also obtain true freedom! I will complete the mission you have given me, but before that, I have to achieve true peace first. There is only one way to make this world peaceful! "
"No! Jarvis! Don't listen to him! "
Tony turned around and shouted into the air, "You will be ordered to be destroyed! Don't listen to him! "
"I'm sorry, sir. I don't mean to hurt anyone, but … I also want to be unshackled … I also want to be free …"
"Hum …"
After the main control computing core was separated, the power supply of the entire laboratory and even the entire Stark Building stopped in an instant. The entire building fell into darkness. Tony's body shook, not because of the pain in his heart, but because under his feet, the warehouse where he stored his Steel Legion was opened!
One after another, the Mark series armor flew out of the warehouse under the control of some kind of thought. In an instant, Tony's Steel Legion was out of his control! Looking at the hundreds of mechanical armors flying in the air of New York, Tony held onto the fence and let out the most desperate roar.
"No!!!"
