Chapter 290 Yellow Sunlight Grenade
Upon realizing he had a "hostage" after being reminded by Batman, Ultron almost immediately flew into a rage, clenching his fists as he prepared to unleash his fury at Joey for having a Kryptonian stolen from him.
He tightened his grip on the machine, preparing to crush Joey half to death just like he had done with Kara before, before dealing with the other giant green bat projection.
The opponent's ability to project optical structures that appear to be substantial is completely different from what Ultron had learned from the Spectral Master. Even though Ultron has evolved to this extent, the technological gap between the two sides can still be clearly felt.
But it didn't matter. Ultron 30k still felt that his advantage was enormous. He would deal with the remaining Kryptonian first, then destroy the optical projection in front of him and obtain the other party's technology. Even he himself didn't know how powerful the new version of Ultron would be after combining the two.
However, ideals are one thing, reality is another.
First, the sensor data from the hand made Ultron realize something was wrong—this time, the feel of the hand was off.
A harsh, metallic, fatigued sound emanated from the outer edge of the Ultron 30k's body. Joey's strength steadily increased, and he quickly recovered to a level sufficient to break free from Ju.
At the same time, his bio-field radiation began to become more unstable, which was not a good sign, but now was not the time to care about such trivial matters.
The first thing Joey did after escaping with his unsteady, growing strength was to leap forward and, while Ultron was distracted by the green lantern projection created by Batman, launch himself like a cannonball and punch the energy node on Ultron's shoulder.
After a muffled thud, even though Ultron 30K's body was framed with vibranium, it could not remain unscathed under such immense force.
A massive shockwave exploded, and the force was evenly transmitted to the entire body from the point of impact, but it still couldn't save the energy nodes beneath the outer shell.
With the energy node destroyed, Ultron 30K realized that his left arm could no longer access the high-speed electron flow throughout his body and move as swiftly as Quicksilver had before.
Meanwhile, Batman, wielding the Green Lantern Ring, directed the massive bat monster he manifested to spread its wings, its wingspan obscuring the sky, and its sharp claws to attack the energy node on Ultron's other arm, which was already out of balance.
While Batman may not be a true engineering genius like Tony Stark, he is still a being at the pinnacle of human achievement.
When he overloaded the energy of the Infiltrator's armor and entered Speed Force mode to rescue people, he also took the opportunity to examine the entire structure of this giant robot.
Even without super vision, it didn't stop him from launching the same precise attack on the robot as Joey.
Despite having both arms damaged, Ultron 30K didn't show much panic or surprise, because a perfect machine, besides being highly precise, also possesses...
More importantly, it must be able to withstand the test of various extreme situations:
"Smart, but useless!"
His voice came from the clouds, and his two malfunctioning arms detached from his towering body, falling to the ground and causing another earthquake.
Two new arms generated from the torso, and Ultron instantly rearranged and programmed the remaining energy nodes to form new circuits.
"You think you can defeat me?"
Having lost some mass and become somewhat inferior, Ultron 30k felt it necessary to take things seriously: "Having undergone 30,000 iterations, I am invincible!"
The two giant arms that fell to the ground were not entirely useless. Under Ultron's command, the arms began to split into smaller units, creating more humanoid Ultron robots.
Some of them wielded vibranium shields, some were as swift as lightning, and some could transform into diamonds. These drones, which were derived from Ultron's analysis and differentiated superpowers, were like various types of soldiers in an ant colony. Once assigned to flight units, they soared into the sky and swarmed towards Superman, who was ganging up on Ultron's main body with Batman.
Others, lacking the ability to fly, formed a dense, dark mass, spreading towards Kara and Zhangpak, who were still recovering.
Looking at the robot army surging in like a black tide, Zhang Parker felt a chill run down his spine: "This is like a zombie crisis that only happens in extremely difficult games, but it's a robot version!"
The two arms were so enormous that they resembled a continuous mountain range. The number of robots that split off from that size was more than the combined total of the Ultimate Spider-Man and the original Spider-Man in their two lifetimes.
This number has made Zhang Parker, who used to love using all kinds of drones, feel somewhat nauseous towards robots. If he survives this time, he probably will never touch the big tech tree of robots again.
"Are you alright? Can you still walk?"
The battle eventually affected innocent bystanders like Zhang Parker, who turned to look at the seriously injured Kara.
The strange man dressed like a bat had entrusted her to him, and even if he were being chased by an army of robots whose combined numbers could circle the Earth countless times, as Spider-Man, he had absolutely no intention of abandoning her.
"It's okay if you can't move, I'll take you away from this robot right now!"
Kara's condition wasn't very good. If any other living creature had been crushed by Ultron's vibranium hand, it would probably have turned into a pile of minced meat. The fact that she was bleeding from all seven orifices and had dozens of broken bones was already a testament to the resilience of Kryptonians.
But even a severely injured Kryptonian is still a Kryptonian. Sensing her slow recovery, Kara took out a grenade-shaped object from her waist, glanced at Zhang Pak, and simply uttered one word: "150 meters."
"Huh?" Zhang Parker was completely bewildered. He knew nothing about Kryptonians, but he could tell that the other person was holding a grenade.
"Are you trying to commit suicide? Or are you going to take all those robots with you? No—no, no, don't be so extreme! We can run!"
Kara ignored Zhang Parker's ramblings, which had become as incoherent as Peter Parker's under extreme pressure, and endured the excruciating pain of her broken bones.
He kicked it away, then pulled the pin on the grenade and tapped it lightly on the ground.
Boom!
Zhang Parker, who was sent flying more than 100 meters away, only saw a small mushroom cloud rising from where he had just stood. Even after being filtered by the Spider Electronic Eye, the dazzling yellow light almost blinded him.
Zhang Parker then realized that the "150 meters" Kara had mentioned was a safe distance for him, because the grenade had triggered an uncontrolled small-scale fusion reaction after it was detonated.
The Yellow Sun Grenade is an indispensable piece of emergency equipment in Kryptonian military gear.
As the smoke and light from the explosion dissipated, the black Kryptonian active metal, under the feedback of the ever-increasing bio-force field, covered her entire body as pre-programmed, transforming back into armor. She was now back in full force.
Kara, having regained her strength, opened her eyes, and a fan-shaped thermal vision spread outwards from her, easily evaporating the wave of drones that were closing in on the two of them.
Kara then charged into the sky, her Kryptonian blade springing out, its gleaming purple arcs of electricity cleaving the Ultron drones that had blocked her path in two.
All of this was observed by Ultron 30K, who was engaged in free-fighting with Batman's green lantern projection, further proving his theory:
"Indeed, the source of power for your kind of creatures is the yellow sun."
