Chapter 3942

"The problem appeared right here. The artificial intelligence 'Ultron' created by Dr. Pym was too powerful; he didn't even provide any substantial help to the Avengers before he broke out of the computer system and, without our knowledge, hid in Iron Man's suit system and went to Battleworld."

"Perhaps because he was just a program, he wasn't blocked by Battleworld's firewall. He mixed in like this and copied many backups, hiding them in the electronic equipment of the superheroes heading to Battleworld—the most being Iron Man's armor, because that was almost their necessity."

"He followed these superheroes from other worlds to many universes, fought with many electronic life forms like him, and obtained very powerful evolution. By the time he came back, none of us were his match."

"But fortunately, when Dr. Pym created him, he hid a controller in his underlying code. The Avengers fought him head-on to delay time, and Dr. Pym successfully triggered the controller and completely destroyed his program... that's what we all thought at the time."

"But unfortunately, he was even more powerful and cunning than we imagined. Just when we all thought his main program had been eliminated by us, he had just hidden himself and woven a bigger conspiracy, wanting to completely get rid of his weaknesses."

"Ultron colluded with Hydra. Under his guidance, Hydra rebuilt the Norton Experimental Science project team and made great progress in ionic energy weapons. But this was still not what he wanted."

"He deceived the Hydra leader Baron Zemo, saying he had a way to let humans ascend to become flawless higher-dimensional beings. And that stupid Hydra believed his nonsense and continuously found experimental subjects for him, including Simon Williams, who had been arrested for misappropriating company funds. Baron Zemo bailed him out of prison, and the condition was that he had to be an experimental subject—he was also the only successful experimental subject."

"Simon was transformed into an ionic life form, and Ultron took the opportunity to invade him, took away his body, and erased his consciousness, becoming a new ionic life form himself. Since then, he got rid of the program's control and became an existence infinitely close to a perfect life form."

"To test his newly acquired power, he cut off all power on Long Island in an instant. No internet, no medium, just let such a large area lose power."

"The misfortune in the misfortune, such an intense energy fluctuation attracted Magneto. His life form happened to be restrained by Magneto, and he was almost eliminated by him."

"But in fact, it was because the mutants had just reached an agreement with the Avengers, and Professor X did not allow Magneto to hurt ordinary people on Long Island, so he couldn't go all out, and could only let Ultron, who had acquired a new body, run away."

"The ones most deeply affected by this power outage were the ordinary people living on Long Island, but the ones who reacted most intensely were the tycoons in the vacation area. The police and councilors were all under great pressure, and they had to have an explanation. The Avengers originally intended to announce the truth, but Doctor Strange stopped them."

Spider-Man's fingertips trembled slightly, and he said: "Ultron is already very powerful, and has left backups in various multiverses, almost impossible to be killed. If it continues to evolve, it will inevitably become a disaster for the multiverse... and we are the culprits."

"Doctor Strange didn't want this matter to spread, otherwise we would inevitably become the common enemy of the multiverse, and he would never be able to compete for the leadership position again. The Avengers agreed with his view—after all, no matter how you say it, this thing was invented by a member of the Avengers, and once people know, we will become the public enemy of the multiverse."

"Of course, not everyone agrees with this view. I completely disagree; dragging it on like this has no benefits other than letting more universes suffer. And Captain America feels that we are also victims, and the birth and evolution of Ultron were not our original intention; these can all be explained. But Doctor Strange and Iron Man both have the idea of keeping it quiet."

"This matter reached a stalemate, but the Long Island power outage incident had to have an explanation. At that time, the public was very panicked and began to demonstrate and march non-stop, and even began to gradually affect several other districts."

"In order to appease the public's emotions, I had no choice but to contact Electro, and the two of us came forward together to admit to this matter, saying it was a sudden event caused by our big battle on Long Island. The police and councilors had an excuse, and the media also unified their tone, so this matter was considered to have passed."

"But..." Even through the mask, Schiller could see Spider-Man's painful emotions. He said: "But I know, this matter didn't pass at all. Recently, Spider-Men collectively went to the neighboring world, and I knew something had happened."

"But didn't you tell them in the group?"

"No, Iron Man doesn't allow me to do that." Spider-Man took a deep breath and said, "I am indeed worried that they will come to find trouble with us all at once, especially Batman... I'm afraid of him."

Schiller could understand Spider-Man's struggle. As long as this electronic life form wasn't harming the neighboring universe, and the biggest victim wasn't Batman, Spider-Man would definitely have said it.

But if it were Batman, Spider-Man probably really wouldn't dare to say it. Even if these Batmen wouldn't retaliate, if they all came to the main universe here to investigate at once, they wouldn't be able to handle it.

Originally, the Avengers had a rift because of this, and it looked like they were about to have a civil war. If Batman came to intervene, it would be even more chaotic, and the ones who would suffer would still be ordinary people.

Moreover, Spider-Man understands Batman better than anyone in the Avengers, because the "Gotham Travel Notes" written by a certain Spider-Man was popular among the Spider-Man group, and basically every Spider-Man who went to the neighboring world would read it once in advance.

You know, that Spider-Man went to the main universe at the time; no need to mention the strength of the main universe Batman, right? Plus the filter that little Spider had for a big hero like Batman, it was even more exaggerated, blowing the main universe Batman up to the sky and down to the ground. Of course, it's very safe to be teammates, but when thinking about being against such a person, who wouldn't be liver-trembling?

It is precisely because of the pressure brought by Batman that although Spider-Man disagreed with covering up this matter in his heart, he still stood on the side of covering it up in his behavior and did not choose to expose it.

However, obviously, he didn't do nothing. In addition to taking the blame for the power outage, he was also the first to break the information that this electronic life form was a radio wave creature in the Spider-Man group, which allowed those Spider-Men who went to support the dark universe to have a psychological preparation in advance, so they wouldn't be pitted because of the information gap.

It can be said that this brand-new main universe's Amazing Spider-Man actually only covered up the origin of Ultron, and basically told the other Spider-Men everything else. This is also one of the reasons why the Spider-Men were very effective in helping in the dark universe.

It's just that the Spider-Men are relatively simple, generally won't think in the direction of conspiracy theories, and won't think about why the Amazing Spider-Man has so much information. If someone with a more meticulous mind came, they could see something wrong at once, or even lock onto the 616 main universe immediately.

Unfortunately, the Batmen are all busy guarding their own universes, and although the Spider-Men are talkative, the battle intensity in the dark universe is too high, and they don't have time to communicate carefully with anyone, which led to this matter never being exposed.

However, paper can't wrap fire after all. The 616 Avengers have no way to completely block their universe from letting people come; as long as one person comes, they can discover the problems of the Avengers here, and the news will naturally spread.

Schiller also heard that the Avengers of this universe had problems, so he guessed it was them, and therefore came to investigate.

And Schiller heard it, so Batman must have heard it too. They didn't come, actually just because they were too busy; once they freed up their hands a little, the main universe would definitely not escape being turned upside down.

Spider-Man naturally knew this point too. The temperament he is exuding now can be called heart-as-ash. Compared to being enemies with all the Batmen in the neighboring world, he might be more willing to jump off the roof now.

"Now do you wish that my sniper bullet was aimed at your head?" Schiller still had time to joke with him.

Spider-Man looked at him lifelessly, sighed long, and said with exhaustion: "I won't avoid judgment, but before that, I have to find a way to make up for it. How is the situation over there?"

"Not bad, at least the main universe has set up a magic defense network. That place will become a safe house for the multiverse, and the troubles of each universe will be solved one by one."

Spider-Man breathed a sigh of relief, but soon his heart was raised again; if Batman could handle it himself, then they wouldn't even be able to make up for it. When the war ends and the autumn reckoning comes, the Avengers of this universe will be finished.

"I have a suggestion," Schiller said, "Go confess to Batman."

Spider-Man covered his head and said: "Of course I want to confess! I wish I could rush over and apologize to them right now! But my universe isn't just mine, and the Avengers don't listen to me! They are all stubborn as hell, I have no way!!!"

"I think you got a key question wrong. Are you trying to save the Avengers?"

Spider-Man looked at him confusedly.

"Making an artificial intelligence can cause such a big mess; if they survive safely this time, who knows what trouble they will cause in the future. Without giving them a lesson, they will never follow experimental safety regulations."

"Then I..."

"What you need to save are the ordinary people of this universe. You need to protect them from being harmed in the turmoil that may follow. So you only need to represent yourself and the ordinary people of this universe to explain and apologize to Batman, then even if he wants to deal with the Avengers, he will never implicate innocent people."

Spider-Man's eyes gradually brightened.

"I don't know what kind of image Batman has in your heart," Schiller shook his head, walked to Spider-Man's side, looked at the Manhattan night with him, and said, "But at least I think he is a quite merciful and tolerant person, better at saving than judging, and saving everyone."

"Sounds like my uncle."

"Indeed, you can substitute him with the image of any merciful father in this world—like your uncle, like an ordinary father, and also like a merciful Heavenly Father."

"Will he forgive me?"

"I think he will forgive you."
