Chapter 3967

Main Universe Batman was holding a thick stack of materials and looking at them. On it was the statistical information of multiverse body theft. Currently, it seemed that almost all the Ultrons of the multiverse had plundered bodies, and some of them had already erupted into conflicts, and quite a few had been annihilated.

This was one of the few pieces of good news so far. If an Ultron from one universe invaded another universe, then in addition to eliminating the local universe's Ultron bodies, it would also find ways to kill them all on the internet. They understood themselves the best, so of course, they had ways to hunt themselves down, or even eliminate most of the backups.

Even if they weren't completely eliminated, it could keep them from having time to interfere with Batman's work. Batman could then more smoothly build the magic defense network. But this also made Main Universe Batman have deeper worries: if Ultron kept fighting like this, something would happen sooner or later.

The eyewitness reports submitted showed that there were a few very strong existences among the Ultrons. Some had very powerful software, and some had found very strong bodies. When they fought, the movement was very large, which inevitably caused damage to the local universe. Some Batmen also couldn't stop them and could only chase after them to clean up the mess.

What made Main Universe Batman feel vaguely worried was that the mysterious magical creation "Lover" hadn't appeared yet. It was difficult to judge whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, and it was uncertain where they would lead Ultron.

Before Main Universe Batman could put down the materials in his hand, a Batman walked in hurriedly. He had a sturdy build, clear muscle lines, deep brows, and was always pursing his lips, showing a serious yet compassionate temperament, and was different from most Batmen.

Generally speaking, this kind of Bruce Wayne with a significant difference in appearance was mostly from a marginal universe. And the one who came this time was the "Ben-Bat" from the movie universe.

"Superman told me that Ultron launched a war in my universe, and both sides are fighting fiercely. I must stop them."

Main Universe Batman frowned and said: "A war? Do you mean not just one or two?"

"That's right," Ben-Bat nodded and said, "There are about seven or eight, divided into two sides and fighting fiercely. They are currently fighting on the Atlantic Ocean and will soon approach the east coast of the United States..."

Main Universe Batman immediately walked out from behind the desk, waved his cape, and then said: "Quick, let's go over now; we must stop them. Notify Superman and Wonder Woman."

The Batmen assembled at the fastest speed. Those who came were some Batmen who were better at fighting, such as Arkham Batman, Doomsday Batman, and Flash Batman, etc. To prevent Ultron from invading the vehicles, they also brought the Bat-Tank.

Not many people could be spared from Superman's side: one Adventure Superman, one 1988 animated Superman. Three were spared from Wonder Woman's side. Main Universe Batman didn't ask in detail who they were. The group rushed to the universe where Ben-Bat was at a very fast speed.

Just after landing, they could already see the "fireworks" in the sky over the Atlantic. Ben-Bat knelt halfway at the cabin door of the helicopter and said to Main Universe Batman on another plane: "I captured their signal frequency band. The information in it shows that the strongest Ultron leading the group named himself 'Ultron Zero'. The others also have their own numbers; they seem to have their own identification system."

"Of course," Main Universe Batman's voice was still low, saying, "They were originally one body; it was because they transformed their life form that individual consciousness was born. But they themselves use the same set of systems, so they can accurately judge the identity and position of the other party."

"It looks like this group is hunting down another group," Wonder Woman said, "I just asked in the group, it seems more than one person has seen this leading Ultron Zero hunting down other Ultrons. He is much stronger than them."

Main Universe Batman frowned and said: "This doesn't seem right. Although his body is indeed designed better than the others, he shouldn't have such overwhelming strength. What exactly is going on?"

Main Universe Batman didn't know many kinds of metals at present. Or rather, he had investigated and researched, but hadn't been able to reach the ultimate truth. Although he didn't know the specific material, with his mechanical engineering level, he could completely see that the body of the leading Ultron was carefully designed, and the bones were a special metal that had been carefully formulated but was unprecedented.

This made Main Universe Batman's mood cast a layer of haze again. Sure enough, behind this whole thing, I'm afraid there was another mastermind they hadn't discovered—not Bruce, and not necessarily Schiller, but someone else.

The body manufactured for Ultron was quite suitable for him. Therefore, this side was almost suppressing the other side, beating the few Ultrons on the opposite side until they were retreating steadily. The tall Ultron leading the group punched through the heart of an Ultron on the opposite side, and immediately pulled off his head and threw it into the seawater.

At this moment, it was raining in the sky over the Atlantic. Ben-Bat knelt halfway at the cabin door of the helicopter and said to Main Universe Batman on another plane: "I captured their signal frequency band. The information in it shows that the strongest Ultron leading the group named himself 'Ultron Zero'. The others also have their own numbers; they seem to have their own identification system."

"Of course," Main Universe Batman's voice was still low, saying, "They were originally one body; it was because they transformed their life form that individual consciousness was born. But they themselves use the same set of systems, so they can accurately judge the identity and position of the other party."

"It looks like this group is hunting down another group," Wonder Woman said, "I just asked in the group, it seems more than one person has seen this leading Ultron Zero hunting down other Ultrons. He is much stronger than them."

Main Universe Batman frowned and said: "This doesn't seem right. Although his body is indeed designed better than the others, he shouldn't have such overwhelming strength. What exactly is going on?"

At this time, the U. S. Coast Guard and the armies of various countries had surrounded them. The Supermen hurriedly flew over to disperse the armies; after all, the armed forces of ordinary people couldn't compete with this group of monsters.

Main Universe Batman was also a bit worried: he couldn't count on this group of electronic lives to have any morality; if they took ordinary people hostage, the Justice League of this universe would have a very hard time handling it.

Two Supermen flew back and forth several times, finally driving those ships and planes to a place further away. But just at this moment, the same voice rang out in all the communicators on the ships and planes:

"Hello everyone, I am Ultron. Within the next 24 hours, I will hunt down my own kind on your internet. Although I have no intention of harming anyone, this may still have an impact on your network quality. Please don't mind. When I clear all his backups, I will leave."

"Ultron," Main Universe Batman suddenly spoke up, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? Haven't you always been very clear about that? Batman?" Ultron's voice was very calm. But what made Main Universe Batman feel eerie was that this wasn't the inorganic calmness of a pure logic life; it sounded more like a human being who had nothing to fear.

Main Universe Batman had an extremely bad premonition in his heart: if the ultimate pursuit of electronic life is emotion, then when an electronic life truly has emotion, does he really become a perfect life, becoming flawless?

"Why do you want to hunt down your own kind?" Main Universe Batman asked, "Just to pursue that mysterious lover? She can make you evolve, can make you become more powerful."

"Batman," Ultron Zero suddenly raised his voice. Floating in mid-air, he turned toward the position where Main Universe Batman was, and those eyes flickered with intermittent light in the rain and fog, looking even with a kind of sacred beauty, "I pursue her not to become more powerful, but because I love her."

"You have no love, Ultron. You were born from a program. Do you want to say that you have already broken through the limitations of the program?"

"That's right, I am no longer just an electronic life," Ultron Zero shook his head and said, "Doing these things is no longer for my own evolution."

"Then what is it for?"

"To make her better."

After finishing, Ultron Zero's figure flashed and teleported away from the sky over the Atlantic. The other Ultrons also left one after another. The broken limbs and arms of those defeated Ultrons on the sea surface were continuously gathered together with the surging waves, but could no longer piece together any complete shape.

From the moment Ultron Zero finished saying that sentence, Main Universe Batman fell into silence. He knew that that worst premonition had come true: this Ultron Zero probably really had sprouted emotions.

If he was just being tough with his words, wanting to prove that he had become a perfect creature, then what he should have shown was some kind of paranoid possessiveness. But he wasn't. He seemed to have truly understood the essence of love—when you love someone, all you have to do is make her better.

But Main Universe Batman didn't quite understand: if it wasn't because of possessiveness, why did he want to hunt down his own kind? How exactly did doing this make that mysterious lover better?

Perhaps it was that the mysterious lover was annoyed by the harassment, and in order to let her have peace and quiet, the strongest Ultron Zero began to continuously eliminate other versions of himself. However, what did that mysterious lover want to have peace and quiet to focus on doing?

Main Universe Batman instinctively felt that the point wasn't Ultron, but that mysterious lover who was suspected to be a magical life. His appearance was too suspicious, and his nature was very mysterious; perhaps he would become a true threat to the multiverse.

"Build the magic defense network," Main Universe Batman said to Ben-Bat on the communicator, "Once the magic defense network is built, these existences outside of Earth won't be able to invade here so easily, and humanity won't be so easily threatened by them anymore."

Ben-Bat sighed. He of course knew this logic. Now, various universes in the multiverse were actively preparing for this matter, and because the threat of Ultron had decreased, the progress of almost every universe had greatly increased. These days of walking on thin ice would soon end.

However, the shadow brought by the multiverse invasion had been lingering in everyone's hearts.

In all fairness, Ultron couldn't be considered a very strong opponent. He invaded all multiverses simultaneously, which was more like an instinctive action due to his life form, and what he did on Earth was just picking suitable targets for contact. Not only did he not want to destroy the multiverse, but in reality, he didn't want to control Earth, and didn't even deliberately go looking for trouble with the Justice League.

The mess he caused was at most because he was an electronic life, his means of doing things were different from human ways, and he wasn't controlled on a moral and legal level, which was why it was like this, rather than having made up his mind to destroy something.

But every Batman knew very well that this kind of "love-struck" Ultron was the minority. Most of the mysterious existences in the multiverse wouldn't be this friendly; they would try every possible way to destroy the universe.

Just facing an Ultron who wasn't that strong and didn't have much malice had made them so miserable, flustered, and overwhelmed. What if there were stronger and more terrifying enemies in the future?

Because Ultron couldn't interfere with magic, they could prevent his invasion by building a magic defense network. But what if one day, the enemy invading the multiverse wasn't afraid of the magic defense network at all, could break through it easily, and didn't have such obvious weaknesses; how would the Justice League and humanity respond?

Ultron's offensive weakening, in addition to allowing the Batmen to build the magic defense network faster, also gave them plenty of time to think about these problems. The long-tail effect brought by this Ultron multiverse invasion event was unimaginable, and many people began to feel panic in hindsight.
