Chapter 4044

Pride didn't participate in this war. He was still teaching in his own universe. However, this didn't mean his life was very peaceful. Because Ultron Zero was constantly hunting down his counterparts in different universes. Brainiac was closely monitoring his actions. Once he encountered problems related to the multiverse, he would come to ask Schiller.

Schiller would tell him some intelligence, but not all of it. It wasn't that he was guarding against Brainiac, but the situation in the multiverse was now different from the comics. If he took the comic background and applied it mechanically, problems would easily arise. So he could only tell some basic hard settings. As for the rest, it could only depend on Brainiac's own investigation.

Upon receiving Bruce's message, Schiller knew they might be targeting Owlman. It was just unclear what the plan was for calling Owlman over at this time.

Losing this war wouldn't benefit anyone; even if Bruce and the others were pranksters, winning the war would still make them happier. There was no need to drag their feet at this time.

They couldn't not know that bringing Owlman over might cause trouble. This guy didn't get along with the main universe Batman and the others, and the two might even fight for command. This was a hundred harms and no benefits to the war.

Then there was only one possibility, which was that the other side had suffered severe losses and urgently needed to replenish their strength. At this time, they couldn't consider what was justice or evil. Anyway, no matter how evil he was, he couldn't cooperate with the world next door; bringing him over would still be a living force.

As for Owlman's whereabouts, Schiller did know some. But he hadn't dealt with Doctor Manhattan either and couldn't contact people from that universe. However, if he wanted to contact them, it wasn't completely impossible.

Schiller sent a message to Brainiac:

"Can you contact Ultron Zero?"

"I can, but why are you looking for him?"

"I need him to find Doctor Manhattan."

"Are you sure he will help you?"

"It's not a very troublesome matter. At worst, we'll make a deal."

Brainiac was silent for a while before saying: "I told him; perhaps he will come to find you soon."

Schiller just took a look and put down his phone, continuing his work. However, Ultron Zero came faster than expected.

This was the first time Schiller had seen Ultron Zero's body with his own eyes. It had to be said that Iron Man and Doctor Doom were worthy of being top scientists. The body they created was extremely aesthetic and also looked very powerful.

"Hello." Schiller moved aside to let Ultron Zero into the room. The other party seemed to be scanning various information about this room, but in the end, his gaze still fell on Schiller.

"Long time no see, Professor Schiller. I heard you want to find Doctor Manhattan?"

"Yes. To be precise, I want to find the Doctor Manhattan who took Owlman away."

Ultron Zero of course knew about this. The video of Owlman being taken away was captured by him. He of course also wanted to know where Owlman went. After some investigation, he basically had a target.

"I can, but I have one condition."

"Go ahead."

"I want to enter Battleworld, and then go to the world next door."

"This doesn't seem to require asking me for help, right?" Schiller walked over to pour coffee for both of them, then said, "You were originally a product of that world, and came here through Battleworld. Can't you shuttle between the two worlds yourself?"

"But that's smuggling after all." Ultron Zero said. "Besides, the me of that time and the me of now cannot be considered the same person. I just want a legal identity."

Schiller tapped the cup wall lightly and said: "May I ask what you are going over there for?"

"That guy left a lot of backups over there. I want to go over and clean them up."

"You don't mean to slaughter Ultrons over there too, do you?"

"Why not? I remember, in that world, Ultron seems to be a criminal that everyone shouts to beat, right? I'm helping the Avengers here."

"Not entirely." Schiller said. "If you have such an idea, I can't help you. Because it just so happens that one Ultron is my butler."

Ultron Zero's fingers paused, and he said: "Butler?"

"Yes. Although he is busy being an internet celebrity and has completely thrown his duties to the back of his mind. But he and I are indeed quite familiar. If you intend to kill all the Ultrons, then I'm afraid you won't get your wish."

"Do you think I can't beat him?"

"I think you can't beat me."

Schiller stood up again, walked to the bookshelf on the side, and took out a box. After sitting back down, he said: "The me of the world next door doesn't have such a good temper. If you dare to eliminate his butler, he will definitely eliminate you. However, as long as you don't touch that Ultron, then even if you kill all the other Ultrons, he won't care about you."

Ultron Zero appeared somewhat conflicted. Schiller opened the box, which contained many Battleworld invitations. These were originally for expanding the user base in the next version, and it didn't matter if they were sent out early now.

"I know, your evolutionary path has gone to another extreme. From the common multi-threading of electronic life, you've become wanting to be the only one in the multiverse. But I don't think you can achieve ascension by killing all the other counterparts. There might be another simpler way to do this."

"What is it?"

"You help me contact Doctor Manhattan, and I'll tell you." Schiller took out an invitation and placed it on the desktop, then said, "At the same time, you will also have the identity of a legal player. How about it?"

Ultron Zero appeared somewhat hesitant. Schiller changed his sitting posture, leaned back in his chair, and said: "I know, because your lover is the only one in the multiverse, you also want to become the only Ultron. But you were able to eliminate all the counterparts in the multiverse here because this was never your origin universe to begin with. Those counterparts distributed in different universes are nothing more than clones of the same Ultron. They aren't powerful enough, so naturally, it's easy for you to deal with them."

"But if you return to your original universe, it won't be that easy. The Ultrons there are varied, and many have already gained very powerful strength. There are also some who have allies like me. It's impossible for you to kill them so easily. So the top priority is to improve your strength."

"What do you think I should do?"

"A war is happening in the Central Universe of the world next door. Superheroes of the multiverse are gathering together. Why not participate and improve your own strength?"

Ultron Zero was clearly somewhat tempted. Although he couldn't be considered a complete electronic life form now, he still retained some characteristics of electronic life. He could strengthen himself by collecting and recording information.

He didn't need to fight those superheroes with real guns and live ammunition, but only needed to record on the side when they were fighting. This was intelligence, and also reference material collected for his various combat modules.

For example, watching Batman command troops could provide more sample references for his command module; watching Superman fight in space could record more details of fighting techniques, thereby adjusting his fighting mode.

A war with so many superheroes fighting in a melee must be able to record a massive amount of information. This is an unimaginably precious wealth for any creature that exists in a similar way. It's like this for Jarvis, and it's also like this for Ultron. This is also one of the reasons why Greed must place the battlefield in their universe. This can improve Jarvis's ability.

"Fine." Ultron Zero said. "I can help you send a message to Doctor Manhattan. However, who do you think I should help in this war?"

"You come from the universe next door, so of course you should help the world next door. However, if you want to settle down here, then helping Batman isn't impossible. It depends on your own needs."

"Super-Body... wants to stay here." Ultron Zero's tone showed a trace of fluctuation, and he said, "She thinks the universe here has a lot of dark secrets. She wants to explore these secrets."

"Then go help Batman."

"But will he welcome me? I caused quite a bit of trouble here before."

"But you also solved a big problem for them. At least you solved quite a few Ultrons, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to spare their hands to fight now. Since you think you and the Ultron that invaded before aren't the same person, then I think Batman will understand this point. Besides, they probably don't have a choice."

"What do you mean?" Ultron Zero narrowed his eyes and asked.

"As far as I know, their situation now isn't too good. Many people were killed by a psychic ability user from next door. In order to replenish their strength, they are even considering evil counterparts. And in order to suppress these counterparts, they will need stronger allies. I think you're not bad."

Ultron Zero fell into thought. He felt that if things were indeed as Schiller said, Batman was in an unfavorable position in the war, and he appeared as a helper and savior, he should be able to get enough attention. This was also beneficial to his subsequent plans.

When talking to Ultron, Schiller was also using the Battleworld system to ask for details. Because in his view, Charles's mental state shouldn't be so easy to go crazy, so why did he suddenly explode and kill so many people?

And after learning the details, Schiller sighed: this program error came at a really timely moment. Originally, that shot on the Centauri market planet had the other side dizzy. If they could pursue the victory, Batman would very likely have gained an overwhelming advantage. As a result, Charles was stimulated at this time, causing Batman's side to also suffer heavy losses. The two sides barely fought to a draw.

But precisely because of this back and forth, Schiller was convinced that there must be a big hand controlling the balance behind it. Who is turning the clouds and rain to control the world? Thinking about it, isn't it that dog planner.

Although there might be something fishy, this also achieved the purpose of training troops. The biggest problem on the Marvel side is that too many heroes lack energy defense and have no ability to fight back when hit by weapons like ship cannons; while on the DC side, they lack psychic defense and were also defeated by Charles's sneak attack.

However, after learning the details, Schiller said to Ultron Zero, who was preparing to leave: "Don't rush over there. There might be a bigger one over there. Wait until the explosion is over before you go over, you can take less of a beating. But you'd better hurry up and contact Doctor Manhattan, and then let Owlman participate in the war. That way he can take more of a beating."
