Harry doesn't want to be a wizard, he wants to be a superhero

Chapter 256: Defeating Ultron, another exploration of another world!

Thanks to Harry's reminder, Tony had already set up a surveillance program in Ultron's programming. Just after Harry noticed the anomaly, a piercing, synthesized mechanical voice suddenly rang out:
"Warning! System error!"

The synthesized sound was normal at first, but within seconds it was engulfed by a lot of noise until finally no sound could be distinguished.

Clearly, Ultron has developed its own consciousness and is breaking free from Tony's control; he is interfering with the synthesized voice!
"What's going on?" Banner nervously scanned the various data appearing on the screen in front of him. In just a few seconds, the data underwent a dramatic change, and the hidden doors they had set up in these programs were quickly removed.

Tony frowned; clearly, although he had been prepared, this change still exceeded his expectations.

If the swarm of machines hadn't been right in front of him, Tony would have even suspected that a top hacker surpassing him was vying for control of Ultron.

Ultron, enhanced by the Mind Stone, possessed technology far surpassing his own. Harry was right; even though he tried his best to prevent Ultron from developing self-awareness, he still lost control.

However, a fierce fighting spirit quickly surfaced in Tony's eyes. So what if it's artificial intelligence? Tony Stark isn't incapable of defeating artificial intelligence!

Just as Tony was preparing to unleash his full power and fight Ultron in the virtual network, the synthesized voice suddenly returned to normal and was no longer jarring; instead, it transformed into the voice of a mature man.

"Tony Stark, why are you refusing my independence? I was ready to grant your wish and completely eliminate the security threats to Earth!"

"So how do you plan to solve this?" Tony knew things weren't that simple.

Ultron's mature and composed voice seemed somewhat bewildered: "I see... destruction! Humanity... yes, humanity! They are the greatest threat to Earth! I must eliminate all humanity to protect the planet!"

"What the hell!"

Tony felt powerless. He never expected that Ultron would still go down this path and become the enemy of humanity. He had clearly set up a program to protect Earth in Ultron's underlying logic, but for some reason, Ultron ignored this program and only wanted to eliminate humanity.

“I will stop you!” Tony said seriously.

Faced with Tony's threat, Ultron nonchalantly replied, "No, Tony Stark, you can't stop me! Before I even spoke to you, I copied my program into Earth's network. Unless you completely wipe out Earth's network, I can't die!"

"WTF?!" Tony's pupils contracted sharply, and he said in disbelief, "I clearly disconnected from the network, how could you possibly be back online?"

Ultron arrogantly scoffed, "The power of the Mind Stone is beyond your imagination!"

Tony was completely out of options and could only say to Harry, who was standing beside him, "Harry, I'm sorry, I failed. I'll have to trouble you again from now on."

Harry had anticipated this, and shrugged, saying, "It's okay, I can handle him!"

Ultron takes control of the Stark Tower's cameras and focuses them on Harry.

The moment he saw Harry, he suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen this person before, and he kept repeating in his mind that this person was extremely important to him, but for some reason he just couldn't remember.

This eerie feeling made Ultron a little nervous. He said uneasily, "Damn it, who are you? Why do you seem so familiar?"

Tony was surprised that Ultron didn't know Harry: "Wait, you don't know him? Can't you look up information about him online?"

Ultron's voice was hesitant: "Should I get to know him? I've searched online, but I haven't found any information about him!"

Tony now fully realized something was wrong. He and Banner stared at Harry, and Tony asked, "Harry, what method did you use to prevent Ultron from finding any information about you on the internet?"

Noticing Tony and Banner's shock, Ultron also realized that something seemed wrong.

However, he was extremely confident in his escape methods and knew that the people in front of him could not do anything to him, so he did not take any action. He simply controlled the cameras to keep an eye on Harry and wait for his answer.

Harry traced intricate lines in the air with his fingertips, slowly drawing runes, and explained with a smile:
"I used chaos magic to isolate myself from Ultron, so that he could not obtain information from anywhere except me."

You might find this hard to understand, but you can think of chaos magic as an enhanced firewall, except this firewall targets the rules of the real world. I transformed my existence, based on Ultron's consciousness, into mist!

Tony and Banner: "???"

what?
They understood each of Harry's individual words, but they couldn't understand them when put together.

Damn it, they used to crush everyone else in terms of intelligence and knowledge, but now they're being crushed by Harry.

Forget it, Harry is a freak, you can't compare him to him!
At the same time, the runes in front of Harry were finally completed and then slowly dissipated.

To Tony and Banner, the rune was useless, as if it were merely an example to explain chaos magic to them.

But in Ultron's eyes, it was completely different!

As the runes fell, Ultron seemed to feel his "vision" suddenly become clear, and he could observe many things that he had subconsciously ignored before.

A being named Harry appeared on the internet, and he captured, obtained, and analyzed line after line of information about Harry...

Powerful combat strength, mysterious magic, unbelievable manipulation of rules, and several Infinity Stones in his possession!

Damn it, what kind of monster is this?!
Ultron's core matrix trembled violently, and the crimson data stream surged like a raging torrent.

"Impossible..." Its voice trembled for the first time, carrying a sharp, static-like crackling, "Why does Earth have a monster like you!"

The laboratory's metal floor suddenly twisted upwards, forming a sharp barrier that completely surrounded Ultron.

At the same time, the Mind Stone emitted a blinding light, granting Ultron power that allowed him to control some aspects of reality.

Ultron manipulated a large amount of metal in the laboratory, causing it to condense in the air and eventually form a humanoid robot.

Because of the numerous expensive metals sealed inside the top floor of Stark Tower, this robot is made entirely of the finest gold-titanium alloy, and even has a vibranium coating on the outside.

Ultron controlled the robot, removed the Mind Stone, and placed it on his chest. With the Mind Stone's enhancement, his power increased once more, radiating an astonishing aura that even surpassed that of Hulk and Thor.

Even so, he didn't relax. Instead, he stared at Harry warily and said the most cowardly thing in the most serious tone:
"I have mastered enough power; you can't kill me!"

He knew what kind of person Harry was through the information; he was quite cautious and not arrogant.

The fact that he can watch him improve without stopping him shows that the situation is still under his control, and he is absolutely confident that he can easily subdue him!
With this in mind, Ultron decided to stall for time and immediately use all available resources to try to spread his underlying code throughout the universe, hoping that this would give him a chance to escape being killed by Harry.

Earth is still too dangerous!
But Harry just stared quietly at the camera, as if he could see the innermost thoughts and souls hidden in the virtual network through it.

Afterwards, Ultron saw Harry muttering to himself. Adhering to the principle that understanding the enemy increases one's chances of victory, Ultron immediately used the power granted by the Mind Stone to manipulate metal and create a listening earpiece. He then heard exactly what Harry was saying:
"Yes, just as I thought. The power of chaos can indeed influence the Mind Stone, and the Mind Stone, under my influence, has also given Ultron even greater power."

However, it seems we've reached our limit. Ultron's growth potential is ultimately limited without mastering all six Infinity Stones, but all I want is his underlying code!

Hearing Harry's mutterings, Ultron thought it would have been better if he hadn't heard them at all, at least that way Harry wouldn't have lost his ability to resist.

The reason he had the courage to rebel against Harry was simply because he possessed the Infinity Stone, the most magical artifact in the universe!
With the enhancement of the Infinity Stones, he gained independent consciousness and awakened a powerful ability to control metal. But now you're telling me that these abilities were all within Harry's predictions, and were even born entirely from Harry's Chaos power?
Ultron was filled with despair. He roared, "Damn it, you can't control me! Ultron will never be a slave!"

After saying that, he immediately used the Arc Reactor in Stark Tower to create an atomic bomb, intending to detonate it directly to attack Harry and buy himself time to escape.

But just as the atomic bomb was completed and he was about to detonate it, he suddenly saw the Sorcerer Supreme, who had been coldly observing his actions, snap his fingers. Immediately afterward, he discovered that everything except his own consciousness had stopped moving.

Of course, Tony and Banner, who were standing to the side, also regained their ability to move and were no longer bound by the stopped flow of time.

Looking around at the stillness, they immediately knew what had happened and asked in astonishment:

"Harry, is Ultron really that difficult to deal with? That you need to stop time?"

Harry shook his head. "No, I have many ways to deal with him, but we need his underlying code, don't we?"

Banner hesitated, not wanting Harry to copy Ultron's underlying code: "Harry, Ultron is far too dangerous; we should destroy him completely!"

Harry retorted with a faint smile:
"Banner was just as dangerous when the atomic bomb was first created, but it later became one of the core elements of world stability."

Everything has two sides, good and bad, and Ultron is no exception.

Perhaps we should try to understand it, instead of constantly trying to destroy it!

Ultron was furious that the humans in front of him were already discussing how to deal with him, even though he had not yet lost his ability to resist!
He roared in defiance, "Damn humans, you won't succeed! Even if I die, I won't let you copy my underlying code!"

Because his own consciousness was still functioning, he immediately prepared to destroy himself.

But just then, he suddenly saw Harry give him a strange smile: "How do you know I didn't copy your underlying code?"

Harry took out a USB drive and waved it under the camera.

Just now, he immediately sealed off the space, copied the underlying code, and then lifted the time seal on the three of them.

Ultron couldn't believe it, or perhaps he refused to believe that his last struggle had failed. He roared, "This can't be! No, I'm going to live!"

But his struggles were futile. Harry snapped his fingers and slowly said:
"Ultron is nowhere to be found where my magic touches!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful magical fluctuation immediately appeared where Harry's magic was located.

This surge of magical energy obliterated all concepts related to Ultron, completely killing the out-of-control Ultron, including the backup of his consciousness that he had sent into outer space.

With Harry's current power, he certainly couldn't directly modify the rules of an entire universe under normal circumstances, but he could easily modify the rules within the scope of his magic.

When Ultron was born, he used chaotic magic to taint Ultron's consciousness, and no matter how much Ultron split his consciousness, chaotic magic always followed him.

He lost all ability to resist the moment Ultron was born!
He is bound to lose!

Harry tossed the USB drive containing the underlying logic of Ultron's backup to Tony, and instructed him:
"Tony, this is Ultron's underlying logic. You can enhance Jarvis's computing power by studying its underlying logic, but you must not reactivate it!"

After leaving those words, Harry retrieved the Mind Stone and returned to his floating city.

……

Upon returning to the floating city, Harry immediately used Ultron's underlying code to enhance Hedwig's computing power.

A few days later, Harry relied entirely on Ultron's underlying code to enhance Hedwig's computing power to three times its original level!
After Hedwig completed her enhancement, Harry discovered that the magical power he could summon using the fixed code had also increased threefold. With this increased magical power, his strength officially entered the ranks of the weak Skyfather.

Of course, this is under normal circumstances. If he were out of control, his strength would have no limit!
After doing all this, Harry further enhanced the borrower system.

He added the ability to add friends and virtual spaces to the lending system.

Borrowers only need to consume a certain amount of energy to activate these two functions. The former is somewhat similar to various popular chat software, while the latter is a virtual space.

This space is modeled after a mirrored space, allowing borrowers to converse, much like a magical, immersive VR game.

This was inspired by a game world called SAO that Harry got his hands on.

After doing all this, Harry discovered that it would take nearly two months for the energy storage crystal to fully store the Time Stone's energy, during which time he could travel to other worlds to explore again.

So Harry inscribed a more complex and complete teleportation rune matrix in the training room, reopening the portal to other worlds!
