Chapter 227 The Avengers, Assemble!
On the other side of the coast, in New York City, the Spider-Men stared intently at Captain America as he delivered a speech on television, not daring to utter a sound.
Every Peter present had his spider-sense activated inexplicably, and the intensity of the sensation gradually increased.
First came the itching that made my hair stand on end, then the burning pain around my eyes, followed by hallucinatory tinnitus.
Something's about to happen!
This is the consensus among the Spider-Men, but that's all the Spider-Sense can do. They can only foresee danger, but they can't predict exactly what kind of danger it will be.
The unexpected warning left the Spider-Men puzzled. Why would watching TV trigger such a strong warning?
Danger is imminent, but where? Here, or in Washington?
"Does anyone think we should call the other end?"
The spider-sense had disappeared, and the live broadcast on the television screen had already shown the result:
"Oh, it's too late."
The attack occurred in Washington,
A purple dimensional rift split open in the sky, and an extremely fast wave of photon energy shot out from it, heading straight for the Avengers present!
Captain America, standing in the center of the terrace, was the first to be hit, and just as he was talking about a "safer tomorrow," the torrent of energy was already almost reaching his nose.
Joey, who was secretly playing on his phone in a corner, suddenly focused his eyes and stepped between Captain America and the incoming energy beam.
The high-energy particle beam, powerful enough to split the entire Washington, D.C. in two, was intercepted by Joey in his right palm. His bio-force field annihilated the devastating energy reaction of the attack in a tug-of-war.
The dazzling light generated during this process caused almost everyone present to experience temporary blindness, and gasps of surprise filled the entire venue.
After the energy rays exhausted, the dimensional rift did not close. Instead, as if the sky had collapsed, a tide of golden robots surged out.
Fully armed, Tony unleashed every ranged weapon he could muster, attempting to stop the endless army of robots.
He flew to Joey, his voice filled with uncertainty: "Is it him?"
The "he" mentioned in the conversation is naturally the Destruction Botany from the future. The reason for the uncertainty is that the data returned by the sensors differs greatly from the previous ones.
"I'm afraid not."
Joey, who had been hastily intercepted and sustained a minor injury, also scanned the ever-emerging robots with his super vision. Like Tony, he was uncertain:
"They are completely different technologies."
The robot legions that are invading now are not constructed using the core technology of Amozhuo, but rather using a different framework that the two of them have never seen before.
The good news is that they are probably not the army brought by "Dr. Doom," and the bad news is that they are not from Dr. Doom.
This means the enemy increases by 1.
"Then where did they come from?!"
Like Joey, Tony transformed into a mobile turret, directly utilizing the Amozzo Core within his armor to replicate the Kryptonian abilities, using an energy beam identical to the one used for heat vision to destroy the robots attacking them.
"Their appearance—although they are humanoid machines, they have ant-shaped mouthparts and compound eyes on their faces, as well as limbs that resemble those of arthropods."
Judging from their appearance, these suddenly appearing robots still retain some of the original bionic features, and the shadow of ants can still be seen. Without a doubt, these are Ultron robots from Ant-Man Hank Pym.
The wound on his hand healed rapidly. Joey's eyes locked onto the largest robot in the swarm, and his thermal vision swept over it, clearing it out like a close-in weapon system.
"I don't know if it's just my stereotype or what."
While doing this, Joey didn't forget to take a jab at Tony:
"Do you highly intelligent geniuses have to create super killing machines and then make everyone else clean up your messes?"
The Ant-Man created Ultron; the Tony Stark before him was an even greater figure in the future, having created the Amozzo Cluster Network; and Batman, needless to say, Joey remembered seeing the remains of Brother Eye in the Justice League's Watchtower warehouse.
It's like these days, if someone doesn't create some robot daddy, they're embarrassed to call themselves a genius!
"Hey! Don't blame me, I haven't even built those things yet!"
Tony, who was back-to-back with Joey as they destroyed the invading Ultron mechanical army, felt betrayed upon hearing this:
"You can't judge someone by what they haven't done yet—that's what you said yourself!"
For him, this was a completely unwarranted disaster, as unreasonable as when Little Chili accused him of stealing yogurt from the refrigerator—a bottle of yogurt that she had never even remembered buying!
A few survivors had already descended from the sky, skimming past the screaming and fleeing media reporters on the periphery, heading straight for the center of the venue.
Hawkeye fired an explosive arrow, forcing back the approaching robots, and together with Black Widow, covered Nick Fury and the other officials present as they retreated.
"Counterattack!"
"Activate the emergency response plan!"
Under the orders of General Ross and Fury on site, the military command chain transmitted an emergency signal to the two carrier strike groups on the east coast, and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Helicarrier also pressed down from the clouds, bringing the invaded area into its strike range.
Roar!
Dr. Banner, who was hiding backstage and not appearing on camera, also revealed another side of himself. The Hulk leaped into the air and tore all the Ultron robots in his path into pieces, causing a rain of parts to fall along the way.
"I guess I'll have to cancel that long, tedious speech I spent ages memorizing last night!"
Captain America, already annoyed by the microphone in his hand, threw his vibranium shield from his back, splitting an Ultron robot that was attacking him in two.
After catching the rebounding shield and using his enhanced physique to elbow the approaching robot in half, Captain America realized that these robots seemed to be coming solely for them.
All the robots are targeting the various "Avengers".
"Away from crowds, their behavior is inflexible, and their attacks seem to be focused entirely on us!"
After raising his shield to block the bullet aimed at Hawkeye's vitals, Captain America became even more certain of this:
"This is entirely an attack targeting the 'Avengers,' an attack against us!"
Although it is unclear why the operators behind these robots regard the Avengers, who have not yet been officially formed, as a thorn in their side and wish they could kill them as soon as possible;
Although the Avengers' first formal speech was canceled, Captain America was happy to skip the long, rambling monologue and fast-forward directly to the last paragraph of his speech:
"The Avengers"
"Assemble!"
"Whoosh, look, the captain is still shouting 'Avengers Assemble!'!"
On the other end of the television screen, several Spider-Men were causing a ruckus again:
"Who just called Peter a fool!"
"Peter, you idiot, there's a time and place for jokes!"
"Why are there so many Ultron robots in this universe?!"
"Quickly notify the Spider-Men who can fly; we need to support Washington!"
The Spider-Man League has always been a loose organization, especially after Spider-Man Miguel lost his universe in 2099 and lost the will to manage it.
This unexpected situation threw all the Spider-Men present into chaos.
Seemingly drawn by the commotion, the invincible young hero Mark Grayson, who had no desire to rest, followed the noise and found the Spider-Men who remained at the base, and learned what had happened.
"Hey, looks like you're in a bit of trouble. You helped me out before, so let me help you now."
Since the flow of time in each dimension seemed chaotic, and given that it was unknown when Angustron would pull him into the next dimension, the invincible young hero felt he could help these kind-hearted people solve their problems.
Not to boast, but the Invincible Young Hero believes that compared to most other superheroes, his strength is already quite formidable, even truly deserving of the title:
"At times like these, I think you might need—"
