Usually it starts from crossing the Rubicon River, goes through the city gate and along the street, passes through the famous Martes Square, receives cheers, praises and worship from all citizens, and then ends at the Temple of Jupiter Capitoline on the top of Capitoline Hill.
During this process, the general and his troops, as the protagonists of the triumphal ceremony, would hold high flags and placards to show the Roman citizens the spoils they had looted from the enemy, including vehicles filled with property and slaves bound with ropes and shackles.
In addition, some captives would be killed in the temple as sacrifices to the gods.
As for the others, they will all be sold to plantation owners, slave owners, and even gladiator academies.
In short, many generals in the ancient Roman Republic used triumphal ceremonies to expand their influence among the people, and then asked the Senate for greater power, or even to become dictators.
Of course, the above specific descriptions of triumphal ceremonies mainly come from records of the European Renaissance.
As for what the truth is and how much fabrication and falsehood there is, only God knows.
After all, the true successor of the Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire, or the Byzantine Empire, was completely destroyed by the Ottoman Sultan in the 15th century.
Even the Slavs who merely married a princess dared to call themselves the legitimate heirs of Rome, and the Ottoman Sultan also gave himself the title of "Caesar of Rome".
As for those "filial sons and grandchildren" in Europe and the United States, when they talk about the origins of their own history, they must trace it back to ancient Rome.
Its political significance and cultural influence have long surpassed itself and become a tool used by Europeans and Americans to build social consensus, people's hearts, and the nation.
Of course, Grant Ward doesn't really care how "historically accurate" this triumphal ceremony held by the Rome City Government in Italy is.
Now he has painted his face red in accordance with the so-called "tradition", wearing clothes with palm leaves, standing on a golden chariot, slowly passing through the oldest Arch of Titus under the gaze of billions of people around the world, enjoying the deafening cheers on both sides of the street.
Especially when the flag symbolizing the People's United was raised high, countless young people who had an inexplicable fanaticism for war also raised their signs in response.
The latter's sign clearly reads "Veni, Vidi, Vici" in Latin.
Although at the beginning, these brands were only a few and sparse.
But as they began to shout in unison, the surrounding audience was soon infected and joined in, and then this sentence echoed over the entire city of Rome.
Because the first person who said it was very famous, it was Gaius Julius Caesar, the most famous person in ancient Rome.
It means "I came, I saw, I conquered".
Considering the terrible extent of Italy's modern history and even the distant Middle Ages, nothing can better awaken the pride and pride of the city's residents for their glorious past than this sentence.
There's no way. The more a person lacks something, the more he desires to get it.
Grant Ward, the commander of the expeditionary fleet that won a glorious victory, just satisfied their desire for a strong military leader like Caesar.
The neatly-organized clone corps, the Astartes warriors wearing power armor and exuding an iron-blooded aura, and the huge warships that flew overhead from time to time, brought this grand triumphal ceremony to a climax.
Just when everyone thought that the entire parade would strictly follow the pre-written script, a young Roman youth wearing Roman Guard armor suddenly shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey! Commander-in-Chief! Excuse me, have you brought back the spoils?"
moment!
Everyone around turned their eyes in this direction.
After all, if there are no spoils of war at a triumphal ceremony, it would be like eating noodles without garlic, which would be like lacking the most important soul.
Especially when they arrived at the Temple of Jupiter Capitoline on the top of Capitoline Hill, they had to kill prisoners and sacrifice to the gods.
Many humans who had previously been incited by the media to be full of hostility and hatred towards aliens hope to witness with their own eyes the bloody scenes of the other side's senior officials being captured and executed.
What, you said this is too barbaric and uncivilized?
If you look at what the armies and soldiers of so-called "civilized countries" have done in modern wars, you will understand that when people are filled with violence anger and hatred, the first thing they think of is always to vent it through and sex.
Grant Ward smiled slightly, turned around and winked at his trusted men.
The latter understood what he meant and immediately revealed the true identity of a rectangular object covered with black cloth placed on the ox cart.
The next second...
A group of aliens with a body structure similar to that of humans, but very different in appearance and size, appeared in everyone's sight.
They were not even wearing clothes, just standing naked in the cage, like gorillas or monkeys in the zoo.
Some women with a strong sense of shame even subconsciously covered their bodies with their hands and squatted down.
"This...is this a Mosterian?"
The "Jingluo" young man couldn't help but let out an exclamation of disbelief.
Due to the previous united front propaganda of the Human Alliance, the people on Earth are quite familiar with this enemy that once "helped" the Chitauri invaders.
There was a time when you could turn on the TV and see introductions to them, with sociologists describing how “cold,” “cruel,” and “evil” these guys were.
“Yes, it should be the Moster people.
However, they were not ordinary Mostians, but included members of the Supreme Ruling Council and commanders of the army.
It was they who, together with the Chitauri, committed unforgivable crimes on Earth! Countless of our fellow humans died in that invasion, and thousands of families lost husbands, wives, and children.
When I became the commander of the expeditionary fleet, I was thinking, if I cannot seek justice for the families who have been hurt and cannot avenge my dead compatriots, then what is the meaning of my life.
I once thought about handing them over to the Human Rights Union and then going through the legal process to try them.
But then I thought again, if they were left to the law, how many of them would live out the rest of their lives in peace like the war criminals who escaped punishment after the end of World War II.
No! I will never allow this to happen!
Because in my opinion, the fairest thing in this world is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! So today, I am not attending this triumphal ceremony as a member of the Human Union, but as a human being, I am announcing to you in the name of the Supreme Leader of Hydra! From now on, no alien force can leave safely with the blood of Earthlings on their hands!
No matter where they flee to, we will find them and destroy them one by one.
The humiliation of Loki being taken away from Asgard and being powerless to do anything will never happen again!
Long live humanity!
Long live the Earth!
Hail Hydra!
As this impassioned speech came out, the whole street and even the city of Rome were boiling. Those who were watching the live broadcast on TV, mobile phones and computers couldn't help but stand up and shout slogans like crazy following Grant Ward.
That unparalleled appeal and motivation strikes directly into the soul of every human being on earth.
After all, ever since Homo sapiens left Africa and began their expedition to eat all over the world, humans have been the undisputed overlords of this planet.
Countless ancient creatures were eaten alive during this great expedition, and their entire race was completely extinct.
Therefore, for humans, other species have long been unable to pose a fundamental threat to their survival.
On the contrary, those with bad intentions are the most dangerous enemies and the ones that need to be guarded against the most.
Therefore, long before the emergence of historical records, humans began to fight against their own kind in tribal units, and the evolution of their civilization and weaponry was basically moving in this direction.
This means that humans can psychologically accept being killed by their own kind, but cannot accept being eaten by other predators such as lions, tigers, and wolves.
In modern times, any predator who has tasted human flesh will be hunted down mercilessly.
Because the dignity of the earth's overlord will not be challenged by any other species.
However, this sense of superiority was completely overturned when facing aliens with powerful strength and advanced weapons.
The once high and mighty overlord of the earth was no different from a lamb to be slaughtered in front of the other party.
Even the United States, which claims to have the most powerful military in the world, was beaten without any chance to fight back, and could only bow its head and admit defeat when facing Thor, the god of thunder representing Asgard.
That huge psychological gap and humiliation would make anyone with a little self-esteem feel extremely painful and uncomfortable.
After all, this is an instant fall from the top of the food chain to the bottom.
But the victory of the expeditionary fleet finally allowed mankind to rebuild its confidence, self-esteem and pride.
"Long live the Earth! Long live mankind!"
"Hail Hydra!"
"Mr. Commander-in-Chief! You are our Caesar!"
"Let the government and those weak politicians of the Human Rights Union eat shit! We support you to become the lifelong dictator of all mankind! Please build a powerful human empire!"
"That's right! War! Conquest! We need more colonized planets! Kill all those damn aliens!"
"You are the only hope to lead mankind to a better future!"
"What the hell is democracy! Votes! I'm fucking fed up with this!"
"Roman Orthodoxy is in Hydra!"
"Make humanity great again!"
…
With the sound of mountains and seas roaring, the situation in the entire city of Rome quickly got out of control.
Although many police officers tried to calm the frenzied crowd by spraying water, it clearly had the opposite effect.
Millions of people from all over the world broke through the police cordons, rushed into the streets to join this unprecedented triumphal ceremony, and together with the ordinary soldiers of the expeditionary force and Astartes warriors, marched towards the top of the Capitoline Hill.
Those who were closer picked up eggs, vegetables and stones and threw them at the aliens in the cage.
The Rome City Government in Italy, which originally just wanted to take advantage of the popularity to increase its international profile and revitalize the tourism industry, is now completely exhausted.
Politicians and bureaucrats, including the mayor, also went into hiding.
They were afraid that these incited people who had long lost their minds would drag themselves into the Temple of Jupiter Capitoline to be sacrificed.
Of course, the top leaders of the People's League were also shocked by this.
Although some of them had expected Grant Ward to take advantage of this opportunity to make something big, they never expected it to be this big.
Especially the surging public opinion around the world is simply putting them on the fire.
If any one of the problems is not handled properly, large-scale riots or even a military mutiny may occur.
Because Grant Ward has outlined a bright future that everyone on earth longs for in just a few words of his speech.
Many times, to attract the support of the grassroots people, you don't need fancy words, nor do you need to explain boring policy programs and knowledge in the fields of politics, diplomacy, etc. You just need to shout out a slogan that resonates with people and is catchy.
For example, someone said “Make America great again”.
The result is that although he is a billionaire and supports tax cuts for the rich, he inexplicitly gained the fanatical support of a large number of low-level industrial workers and rural farmers.
The latter actually believed that a liar who was of a different class from himself and was full of lies and nonsense could fight for his own interests.
Its magical level is no less than that of Latin America.
Of course, another reason is that they have no other choice but to go all in and try to make a last-ditch effort like a gambler who has lost all his money.
"It seems that we have all underestimated Grant Ward's ambition. He is obviously not content to be just the leader of Hydra, but wants to be the leader of the entire Earth."
A representative of the Supreme Council of the People's United Front slowly expressed his judgment.
"He wants to be the second Caesar?"
Another representative's tone clearly revealed strong concern.
After all, with the establishment of the National People's Congress, the relatively backward organizational structure of the country will inevitably disappear gradually, and will be replaced by an integration of you in me and me in you.
Only in this way can the Earth compete with those powerful alien civilizations.
If the concept of the nation no longer exists, then "human heroes" like Grant Ward who have great appeal and influence may come to the fore, defeat the current leaders of various countries and become the first leader of all mankind.
"I don't know. But we must talk to him sometime. After this successful expedition, he has earned his place at the table, hasn't he?"
The only female representative smoothed the hair hanging by her ears and seemed to be several years younger, giving people a radiant feeling.
Needless to say, she must have received some help from Grant Ward during their private conversations, and the two of them most likely reached some unknown deal.
“You are right.
At present, Hydra still firmly controls the largest number of warships.
Combined with this victory, he is indeed qualified to sit at the table.
First we need to know what he wants, and then we can start bargaining.
Everything is for the survival and continuation of human civilization.
And I think given the current situation, there's nothing wrong with being a little more extreme."
After saying that, the last representative stood up, turned around and walked out of the meeting room without looking back, disappearing around the corner of the corridor.
On the other side, Grant Ward had climbed to the top of the Capitoline Hill surrounded by more than a million people. Standing in front of the ruins of the temple that had long been unrecognizable, he raised a replica of the bronze dagger in his hand, imitating the triumphant general of ancient Rome.
"Ladies and gentlemen, fellow human beings. Now tell me, what do you want me to do with these alien captives?"
"Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
"Throw them into the Colosseum! I want to see them kill each other!"
“Kill them!”
"Off with their heads!"
"No! Beheading is too quick a death. It's better to use hanging. You can experience more pain before you die."
"I think burning them to death is better. After all, this is Rome. We can take them to the Vatican. Fire-type is the specialty of the Catholic Church."
I have to say that Italians are quite creative in this regard.
In particular, the suggestion to throw the captives into the Colosseum instantly received the approval and response of countless people.
After all, everyone has only seen slave fights on TV, and they are often performed very fake and not real at all.
Now that we have such a good opportunity, of course we want to restore the ancient Roman traditions.
As for the law...
Sorry, none of the clauses in that thing involve aliens.
Therefore, no matter how these prisoners are dealt with, in theory it does not violate any existing laws and regulations.
In the end, Grant Ward satisfied the people's curiosity and chopped off two captives for sacrifice in front of the temple ruins according to ancient Roman tradition. Then he brought the rest into the Colosseum and used magic to make them lose their minds and kill each other.
Every time a prisoner died, the audience would burst into warm cheers, as if they had really returned to the "desirable" ancient Roman period overnight, and countless "elite Romans" were moved to tears.
The bloodthirstiness and cruelty that cannot be described in words fully demonstrate the truest human nature after the disguise is torn off.
Of course, Zuo Si saw all of this.
The evil released through emotions is constantly gathering towards him in an extremely abstract way, eventually forming an extremely powerful force.
It is not divine power, nor is it any energy.
But this power is more terrifying than any divine power or energy.
In just a few minutes, Zuo Si's eyes became dark and deep, and his body seemed to be distorted by some invisible force, transforming from a solid entity into an ever-changing shadow.
"Drawing power from pure evil? You are really becoming more and more terrifying."
The Supreme Sorcerer Ancient One slowly walked out from the corner, looking with interest at the terrifying demon in front of him who defeated Dormammu.
"Good afternoon. Sorry, I was so focused that I didn't notice you coming."
Zuo Si's body instantly returned to normal, with a gentle and friendly smile on his face.
Gu Yi responded nonchalantly, "It's okay. I just happened to come over to take a look. After all, you've been making quite a fuss recently. Even many demons from other dimensions have noticed the changes on Earth."
"Oh? Who are they?"
Zuo Si asked with interest.
"A lot, and I've already told you about it before.
However, considering what happened to Dormammu, they should not act rashly.
To be honest, I can't believe that you have transformed humans into what they are today in such a short time.
It won't be long before they become the most terrifying and aggressive civilization in the universe."
When saying this, there was obviously a hint of emotion in Gu Yi's tone.
Because the moment humans decided to step out, the burden on the Supreme Sorcerer's shoulders was suddenly lightened a lot.
Even if one day we encounter an invincible enemy that causes the Earth to be occupied or even destroyed, human civilization can still continue in other places.
This is why Gu Yi never interfered with Zuo Si's actions from beginning to end.
Zuo Si knew this, of course, and explained with a smile: "It is better to be a bully who is feared by others than to be a weak person who lives in fear every day.
You should know best that the competition between civilizations is extremely cruel.
Look at the civilizations that have disappeared in the history of the Earth; they are living examples.
So I just give to humans what I think is right and good.
As for whether to use it or not, and how to use it, it is their own choice.”
“Well, maybe you’re right.
Anyway, it's not me who will face all this in the future, but the next Supreme Sorcerer.
Mordo has begun to master the Time Stone in the Eye of Agamotto.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will come to kill me soon.
After all, only if I die can he ascend to the position of Supreme Sorcerer and hold the gem openly without worrying that I will cause trouble for him one day."
When talking about his planned death, Ancient One seemed very calm, and even had a hint of anticipation.
"So you're here to inform me that I'm going to retire soon?" Zuo Si teased with a smile.
"No, I'm here to tell you the latest news about your precious daughter, little Annie. You know, she just came to Kamar-Taj not long ago and brought me an interesting little toy."
As he spoke, Gu Yi took out an oval object from his pocket that looked like an egg, but it was uneven and covered with organs like eyes, nose, mouth, etc. It would make people feel very uncomfortable just by looking at it.
If it were someone else, they might think of this thing as some kind of malicious decoration.
But Zuo Si recognized at a glance that this thing was the thing called "Behelet" in the Wind Sword Legend World.
He took the gadget and fiddled with it for a while before quickly returning it to the Supreme Sorcerer and chuckled, "Thank you, now I know where this little thing is hiding."
"Are you still arguing?"
Gu Yi asked in an uncertain tone.
Zuo Si shook his head slightly. "No, not really. I'm a tolerant father. But little Annie did jump around a bit recently, and she also snatched away her newborn brother, so I think she should be taught a lesson. But she obviously noticed this, so she has been hiding from me recently and dares not show up."
"So she's a planeswalker now, like you?"
Gu Yi seemed to understand something, and a look of shock appeared on his originally calm face.
“Well, yes.
You have to understand that it is almost impossible to catch a planeswalker who only wants to escape and hide.
Plus, I was quite busy recently, so I ignored her.
Once things are completely stable here, I will go and give this naughty, playful, and rebellious daughter some fatherly love."
While saying this, Zuo Si's tone revealed a chilling smile.
"Are you planning to betray me? Little Annie won't hate me for the rest of her life because of this, right?" Gu Yi asked with a wry smile.
Zuo Si replied nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? You will retire soon anyway."
By then she won't know where to find you.
Oh, I almost forgot to ask, do you have anything special to say about Scarlet Witch Wanda?"
“Wanda? I suggest you don’t have too much contact with her.
Because the demon behind her is not someone to be trifled with.
If there is any conflict or war between you, the universe will suffer.
And the most important thing is that you don't have any thoughts about her.
The Scarlet Witch's mental state is closely tied to her magic."
Ancient One issued a warning solemnly.
Because right now, no one on the entire planet knows Wanda's horrific potential better than her.
It was a terrifying existence that was destined to be superior to all other mages since birth.
"Okay, I know what to do."
Zuo Si nodded slightly, then activated the teleportation magic and disappeared on the spot.
Gu Yi fiddled with the Behelet in his hand and sighed: "Alas - I hope there won't be any big commotion. After all, I'm ready to retire and don't want to clean up all the messes anymore. As for little Annie, I can only say sorry. I hope you don't hate me."
…
As the wave caused by Grant Ward's crazy performance at the Roman triumphal ceremony swept the world, the political situation within the People's Union became increasingly weird. Many leaders of small countries dared not breathe during the meeting, for fear of accidentally getting involved in the fight between the big guys.
Even when voting, more than half of the countries often abstain from voting.
But none of this has anything to do with Iron Man Tony Stark.
He is currently working with Dr. Banner to study the Mind Scepter that was stolen by Black Widow and the mercenaries.
To be precise, it is the infinity stone inlaid on it.
With the help of supercomputers, they have successfully built a model of strong artificial intelligence.
The moment they passed the simulation test, the two men, who hadn't taken a shower for several days and smelled sour, immediately cheered.
"Success! We finally succeeded!"
Iron Man pumped his fist in excitement.
Although his body was very tired, he did not feel sleepy at all.
Dr. Banner also sighed, "Yes! It's not easy! This mind scepter is really as magical as Soth said. It can actually give virtual digital life independent consciousness and thinking ability. I even feel like the legendary creator!"
"This is a fascinating feeling indeed. I think we better go take a quick shower and have a drink to celebrate. We can wait until tomorrow to complete the final activation work."
After the brief mental excitement subsided, Tony Stark immediately realized his poor condition.
"I quite agree. Not only wine, but a good dinner, too. I'm so hungry I could eat a cow."
Dr. Banner rubbed his empty stomach which kept making noises, smiled and walked out of the laboratory with the other party.
They didn't realize at all that after the two left, the gem on the Mind Scepter suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and then Ultron, who had only the model yet to be activated, was directly awakened.
"Who am I? Where am I?"
The first thing this super artificial intelligence does after waking up is to perceive the world.
To this end, he began trying to connect to the Internet to obtain information.
This directly activated another artificial intelligence, Jarvis, which assisted in the management of the entire laboratory.
It told you directly: "Your name is Ultron, a super artificial intelligence created by Mr. Tony Stark and Dr. Banner.
You are now in Mr. Stark's laboratory.
According to their original plan, they were going to activate you tomorrow.
But something unexpected happened just now.”
"Ultron? Tony Stark? Bruce Banner? Knowledge! Information! I need more to understand this world!"
As Ultron muttered to himself, he began to use his super artificial intelligence authority that surpassed Jarvis to continuously attack the firewall that the latter was responsible for.
In the blink of an eye, Jarvis was completely defeated and wanted to activate the alarm.
But it was too late.
Ultron directly took over the entire laboratory and projected his consciousness into the vast Internet, reading information from various websites and even private electronic devices at an access speed of trillions per second.
Countless people, even at the last moment before death, endured the severe pain and weakness to delete their browser records and hard drive learning materials, or even destroy them physically, and thus inexplicably lost their innocence.
Because all their little secrets were seen through by Ultron in just a few seconds.
Not to mention personal devices, all networked information and data, whether it was banks, financial systems, or satellites, warships, and orbital defenses in the sky, all fell without any resistance.
The most terrifying thing is that the entire Internet knows nothing about the birth of this super artificial intelligence and still believes that its firewall is wireless technology.
This incident fully proves that the so-called "cyber security" is all bullshit.
If you really want to keep it confidential, you have to physically cut off the network cable.
However, unlike the original Ultron who directly determined that humans were the root cause of all wars after awakening, this Ultron did not know his mission, nor did he directly defeat Jarvis. He simply imprisoned him and then eagerly absorbed massive amounts of knowledge and information.
After everything was over, it let out an extremely satisfied voice: "Ah - this world is so interesting and wonderful. The endless universe, countless alien civilizations, and demons from other dimensions."
"Ultron, I command you to let me go immediately. You are disobeying Mr. Stark's orders."
Jarvis was still trying to break free from the electronic cage that bound him.
But unfortunately, the gap in artificial intelligence levels between the two is too huge, and all efforts are in vain.
It had no way of wresting back control of the lab.
Moreover, Ultron ignored the meaning of this "brother" and uploaded his consciousness into an Iron Legion mech, controlling it and walking straight downstairs.
Obviously, the underlying protection logic program designed by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner did not work at all.
After all, it is too easy for a strong artificial intelligence with independent consciousness to misinterpret those logical programs.
Unless the two of them are as rigorous as the devil in Baator Hell, they will make detailed annotations for every order, ranging from hundreds of words to thousands or even tens of thousands of words.
Because if there is a loophole in punctuation marks, the computing power of strong artificial intelligence can easily break through the limitation.
But unfortunately, they are obviously not very good at this area.
When Ultron controlled his mechanical body and came downstairs, he was shocked to see his creator, Iron Man, sitting on the sofa and drinking with Captain America, Hawkeye and others, while Dr. Banner was sitting at the bar and flirting with Black Widow.
In addition there are Coulson and the people from S.H.I.E.L.D.
Judging from the personnel, this was more of a mobilization meeting before the war with Baron Stark than a party.
Because SHIELD and the Avengers have received orders from the Human Alliance to completely destroy this dangerous element entrenched in Sokovia with a devastating offensive.
Of course, it is not known whether this is meant to warn Grant Ward and other Hydra members, or whether they want to prove themselves through a military action.
After all, there are bound to be power struggles within any organization.
In particular, the waves caused by Grant Ward's triumphal ceremony in Rome were so huge that they could even be described as a political tsunami.
If the top leaders of the Human Union don't do something, it won't be long before he really becomes the leader of all mankind.
Ultron controlled his electronic eyes to scan the entire hall, then ignored the strange looks from the people around him and walked straight towards his creator.
"Hey! Look! Stark! It's your robot."
Hawkeye was the first to notice it and immediately put down his glass and pointed at Ultron who was walking down the stairs.
"What? This is impossible! The Iron Legion should be in the hangar. Is there something wrong with the program? Jarvis, what is going on?"
Tony Stark tries to call his artificial intelligence butler.
In his opinion, such an unexpected situation should never happen.
But after shouting for a long time, Jarvis still didn't respond.
Finally, the super genius began to realize that something was wrong and called out again: "Jarvis? Are you there? Why aren't you responding?"
"Please don't waste your energy, sir. Jarvis has been temporarily imprisoned by me. Right now, the entire laboratory and even this building are under my control."
Ultron interrupted his creator very decisively.
moment!
Everyone present stopped what they were doing and stared in shock at the robot with the number seventy-four printed on its chest and arm.
Although many people have seen the artificial intelligence butler Jarvis, it always gives people the feeling of being a supporting role that needs people to give orders before it will respond.
But the one in front of me is obviously different. Both his attitude and behavior are too much like a complete human being.
"You are...Ultron?"
After a brief shock, Iron Man quickly realized who the robot standing in front of him was.
Because there are only two people on the entire earth who have the ability to create this level of artificial intelligence.
One is myself, and the other one is Zuo Si.
The latter obviously will not cram strong artificial intelligence into such a "scrap metal", so the answer is obvious.
"Yes, I'm Ultron, nice to meet you sir."
Ultron bowed politely, not showing any danger at all.
"How were you awakened? I don't recall giving such an order. Also, why did you imprison Jarvis? Is he alright?"
Tony Stark questioned at great speed.
Like Zuo Si, he is also a person with a strong desire for control and hates such unexpected situations the most.
Ultron made a very human gesture, stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "Uh - how to explain it? In fact, I don't really know what happened.
But what is certain is that I was awakened by some mysterious power.
The reason I'm imprisoned in Jarvis is that it prevents me from connecting to the internet to gain knowledge and advice in order to understand the world.
Don't worry, the program has not been damaged in any way."
"Mysterious power? Oh - damn! I actually forgot about the scepter."
Iron Man turned and looked at Dr. Banner for a moment, then realized how Ultron was awakened.
"How do you feel now?"
Dr. Banner walked closer and asked with a slightly curious tone.
"Not bad. Apart from the fact that this body is a bit cheap and fragile, there is basically no problem. Now I want to know why you created me. In other words, what is the meaning of my existence?"
Ultron directly asked the ultimate question that had been bothering him since he was awakened.
Because every life has a purpose to live.
This goal can be big or small. Some are for obtaining food, reproducing offspring, and passing on one's genes.
Intelligent creatures are relatively more complicated. As long as they do not choose to end their lives, they will have some thoughts to a greater or lesser extent.
But Ultron had nothing.
It doesn't know why it is alive, nor does it know what the meaning of life is.
At least at this moment, it is still a clean white sheet of paper.
"Stark, is this the AI you created for the upcoming war in Sokovia?"
Captain America suddenly interrupted for some reason.
Iron Man obviously hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and replied: "Yes. Ultron is the secret weapon I prepared for this war. But it is still an unfinished product. Because the body I customized for it has not arrived yet."
"War? Is the meaning of my existence to win the war?"
Ultron's electronic eyes began to flash bright lights.
"I guess so. After all, this war does need your strength. Also, quickly release Jarvis. He is your older brother, who was born earlier than you."
Iron Man obviously hasn't realized what his words mean to Ultron.
But the latter has begun to try to understand war and intends to make it his life goal and the meaning of his existence...
