Multiverse of Marvel

Chapter 208: A surprise

"Hahaha.. Hahahaha... Avengers.. You think you have won? Hahaha.. I have released him already. Your worst nightmare.. hahahah.. I know I will not survive this so I made a farewell gift for you." Strucker said as he bit his teeth and committed suicide by drinking poison.

"No wait." Ciri shouted but it was already too late as he had drank the poison.

"What did he mean by our worst nightmare?" Victor who came flying down asked. Victor, Hal and Arthur were sent to the far surroundings so that there was no collateral damage. Tony had pitched the idea of sending his iron legion but John stopped him from that as collateral damage was a sensitive situation and the city needed a gentler approach.

SHIELD even sent some ninjas to handle everything silently in the nearby city if the battle came to the city. They protected the city perfectly and there were no damages whatsoever.

"That was anticlimactic." Arthur said.

"Let's go back and go through everything. There must be evidence here of what he did." Hal said as he flew away to check everything in the old building.

After an hour of checking on everything, everybody returned where John and Banner were waiting. Wanda and Pietro were still unconscious while Flash and Triss were standing guarding the two.

"Why do all of you look like you have lost the war?" John asked with curiosity as he saw everything was completed perfectly but didn't understand why they had long faces.

"We searched the building, we doubt that Strucker before committing suicide launched an AI. We went through all the equipment. Tony and I had come to such conclusions after checking." Wayne said.

"What did you say?" John's eyes went wide when he heard that.

"We think he launched an AI on the internet. An AI with high intelligence." Tony confirmed it. (Yes I know that Ultron was not supposed to be born that way but in comics he was made by Hank Pym and since Strucker was already researching on AI as shown in the movie I will take this route and make Ultron. He is important to the story as a whole.)

"This is bulls**t!! F**king bulls***t!!"John screamed. Everybody was taken aback. They had never seen John being so angry. John had always been calm and dealt with everything in a cool mind. This was the first time he lost his cool. The witchers didn't know what an AI was so they didn't understand how deadly this thing was but from the tone of others they understood this must be something grave.

"Victor, GAIA and Jarvis. Scour the internet. Check upon your systems on every step. Don't let Ultron get the better of you. Any attack of any kind, even a small one would be informed. Victor search for Ulysses Klaue and find his location. Jarvis tell Dr. Helen to be locked in. There might be an attack." John said.

John's fear had finally come to life. Even though John had AI's helping him, Ultron or the AI that Strucker made was probably made from mind stone and would probably be the most powerful AI ever made. On par with the Supreme Intelligence, maybe higher.

John had been trying to stop the emergence of Ultron but still he came even after such manipulations and machinations. This new world that John had made was different and had access to more advanced technology now. Now John really feared that Ultron would do something more horrible.

"Ultron? Is that the name of the AI? From your tone you seem like you have seen him in your dreams. Is he that dangerous?" Banner asked.

"He is the destroyer of universes. We need to kill him before he does anything stupid. Victor, did you find Klaue?" John asked.

"Yes he is on the African Coast." Victor said.

"OK. Diana, Triss, Yen, Banner take the sceptre away and keep it in a locked place and guard it. Nobody should get inside. Nobody. Keep Dr. Helen safe. Victor open the portal to his location. We have another mission now." John said. Victor didn't understand why John was in a hurry but he obeyed and opened the portal. Triss and other's left from their own portal.

After coming out of the portal they saw they had reached a Salvage yard where there were old ships stranded.

"Kill all of them. Barring Ulysses. He needs to be alive." John said.

"Seems like this guy is important. He is just an arms dealer. How did he become so important?" Tony said as he checked with Jarvis. He had even met him before in a convention.

"Because he has tons of vibranium." John replied "Now get to work. If Ultron gets his hands on them, it will be too hard to stop him." Steve and others shuddered when John mentioned vibranium. They now understood why John was eager to bring Klaue in.

Vibranium was the strongest metal on their earth.

If this AI could get his hands on it, it would be too tough to handle him. They all went to the half broken ship where Klaue was hiding. Batman and others entered directly not caring if they raised any alarms anywhere. These were just arms dealers. Not a super villain.
