The only player in the Marvel universe.

With the mutant prison and Xavier's Academy under attack, the humans are now in a real bind.

They originally thought that the remnants of the mutants had long been driven to the brink of extinction and could only hide in the gutter to eke out a living. Who would have thought that these people would suddenly jump up again and make such a big move.

For them, this was undoubtedly a dangerous sign.

Instead of being defeated, the mutants began to fight back.

As soon as the news spread, the human government held an emergency closed-door meeting, and the military leadership consulted overnight. Various contingency plans were put forward, determined to completely eliminate the mutant threat once and for all.

Transport planes carrying Sentinel robots began patrolling the air, their genetic recognition systems scanning every inch of land in an attempt to locate the mutants' hiding places.

However, this poses no threat to mutants at all.

They had the foresight to build their secret base deep underground, so that even if transport planes flew right over their heads, the sentinel robots wouldn't be able to detect their presence.

However, the influx of a large number of mutants has made the secret base severely lacking in space.

So Du Mu sent Quicksilver to continue expanding the secret base downwards with a diamond pickaxe. Then, Eric and Magneto, two master builders, along with other mutants with abilities suitable for construction, formed a construction team to begin a comprehensive renovation of the entire base.

It has to be said that mutants' abilities are indeed very convenient; one mutant can do the work of dozens, and their efficiency is ridiculously high.

In just two or three days, the entire base was completely transformed.

Originally just one floor, they've dug several more floors, now fully equipped with all sorts of facilities, more than enough to house hundreds of people. Hank's laboratory has also been expanded and transformed into a research base.

Du Mu selected a dozen or so suitable mutant prisoners to work as Hank's assistants, thus speeding up the research process.

But that's not enough.

Du Mu knew that if Hank relied solely on his own research, it would take some time for him to catch up with the technology of humans.

What they lack is time.

So he set off for a base where humans were specifically researching sentinel robots.

The place was heavily guarded, with sentries every three steps and patrolling robots everywhere.

But for Du Mu, none of this mattered.

To the Sentinel robots, he, a mutant without any X-genes, was completely invisible.

Even if he walked right under the noses of the Sentinel robots, their mechanical eyes didn't even blink, completely ignoring him. Du Mu spotted a lone insider, casually knocked him down, stuffed him into his Devouring Sac, then used the face-shaping function to transform into the person's appearance, and swaggered into the core area.

The whole process went quite smoothly.

After all, no one would have thought that someone without the X gene could actually transform into someone else's appearance.

Upon arriving at the core area, Du Mu pulled out his hacker phone and began frantically stealing all the relevant data and information from the Sentinel robots, making multiple copies of everything he could.

After doing all this, he activated the auto-pickup mode and started wandering around the core area.

Instruments and equipment?

Pick it up!

Material parts?

Pick it up!

Researchers?

Knock them out, pick them up, and stuff them into their sacs.

These are all experts in sentinel robots. Taking them back to Charles for a training session and then assigning them to Hank as assistants is much better than training them from scratch.

Du Mu collected everything along the way, leaving no trace of vegetation in his path.

He took everything he could, without missing a single item.

If it weren't for the fact that the Sentinel robots all have positioning systems and don't have EMP bombs—weapons that destroy all electronic products—he would have liked to take some back with him.

Soon, someone discovered the completely empty core area and was immediately dumbfounded.

Was it burgled?

No, even thieves don't go this far. Stealing things is one thing, but stealing people too?!

In an instant, alarms blared, and all personnel began a large-scale search of the entire base.

But this has nothing to do with Du Mu anymore; he had already slipped out of the base.

Back at the mutant base, Du Mu tossed all the stolen... oh no, automatically acquired items to Hank. "Did you steal a research facility?"

Hank stared blankly as he watched Du Mu pull out the things that Du Mu kept taking out, including several unconscious Mediterranean men.

Du Mu smiled shyly and scratched the back of his head: "I figured they probably didn't want them, so I brought them all back. Will these help you?" "They'll definitely help."

Hank's lips twitched slightly.

Du Mu practically brought all of humanity's research bases here, which is no different from an open-book exam.

With the items Du Mu brought back, and the assistance of several experts in Sentinel robot research, Hank's research progressed rapidly. A few days later, he announced the success of his research.

It was still the same humanoid robot, with little change in its design.

Hank excitedly told Du Mu, "Let me introduce you to this latest type of whip robot."

"Based on the original Whiplash robot, the functions of transformation and replication have been added. After touching a mutant's body, the Whiplash robot will automatically enter the other party's X gene into the database and replicate their X gene to use the corresponding ability."

"Because it is made of metal, its basic strength is much higher than that of the Sentinel Robot, and the Whiplash Robot is powered by an arc reactor, so there is no need to worry about its endurance."

Hank explained the various functions of the whip robot.

In short, it's a combination of steel armor and sentinel robots, incorporating the advantages of both while discarding their disadvantages.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Du Mu nodded in satisfaction.

Indeed, he was right to move Hank behind the scenes.

Why would a perfectly good scientific researcher insist on going to the front lines to become a soldier? Isn't that just plain stupid?

That's how Hank is in this world. The day the Sentinel robots stormed into Xavier's School, Logan and he led the charge, but in the end, only Logan and the charge were left, because he and the head were gone.

The world's most intelligent mutants died like ordinary cannon fodder.

Otherwise, given Hank's intelligence, if given time, it would only be a matter of time before he develops a way to counter the Sentinel robots.

"Speaking of which, it's no longer appropriate to call this robot the Whiplash Robot; we need to give it a new name."

Du Mu stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before saying, "Since this robot was created to counter Sentinel robots, why not call it the Anti-Sentinel Robot Robot?"

Hank was somewhat speechless: "Isn't this name a bit too difficult to pronounce?"

Du Mu blinked: "That's called Terminator? I remember artificial intelligence doesn't have a name yet, how about we call it Skynet?"

"These names don't sound very auspicious."

Hank's lips twitched. Had he never seen a Terminator movie?

Du Mu rolled his eyes: "If this won't work, if that won't work, then what should we call it?"

Hank thought for a moment: "What do you think of the name Ultron?"

"Ultron?"

Du Mu read it a few times and nodded: "Not bad, this name sounds like a good partner for humans, and it certainly won't cause any kind of artificial intelligence crisis in the future." So the two of them immediately decided to name the artificial intelligence Ultron, and the robot was named Ultron Robot.

Without any hesitation, they immediately put the Ultron robot into the testing phase.

Professor X and others rushed to the training ground upon receiving the news.

"Is this the robot Hank developed?"

The crowd scrutinized the Ultron robot; aside from anything else, its appearance alone surpassed that of the Sentinel robot.

"Yes, I like it."

Eric and Magneto's eyes lit up.

The robot, made entirely of metal, looks so impressive; it's as if it was made specifically for them.

Du Mu chuckled and said, "That's right, it's called the Ultron robot. It has the same functions as the Sentinel robot. It can do everything that the Sentinel robot can't. As for the specifics, we'll find out by testing it on a sturdy sandbag."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Logan.

Logan: "???"

As someone with self-healing abilities, no one is more suitable to be this punching bag than him.

Logan's lips twitched slightly, and with a cigar dangling from his mouth, he walked towards the Ultron robot.

"Hey, listen up, if you break this big guy, don't blame me," Logan said, exhaling a smoke ring with a smug grin. Hank replied confidently, "Don't worry, do whatever you want. If you break it, you're the one who's amazing."

"good!"

Logan stretched out his arms, and six adamantium claws sprang out from between his fingers as he lunged at the Ultron robot in front of him.

Logan: 0 (#皿)0 village

Just then, Ultron's mechanical eyes suddenly lit up, locking onto Logan in front of him.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Logan was sent flying backward, rolling several times on the ground.

Looking at Ultron, its right fist has transformed into a giant metal hammer with blue electricity crackling from its head, making it look like a replica of Thor's Mjolnir.

Hank had already entered the X-genes of hundreds of mutants into Ultron's database, giving Ultron a perfect start. As for the origin of these X-genes...

Of course, it's the mutants in the base; they have all kinds of abilities, and you can choose whatever you want.

Logan got up from the ground, his body still trembling slightly uncontrollably due to the electric current.

He spat, forcing himself to stand up straight, and stubbornly said, "Is that all? It feels about the same as a Sentinel robot." Hank smiled slightly: "Of course it's more than that."

As he finished speaking, the Ultron robot transformed once more.

Its left hand quickly turned red as if it had been quenched in fire, and the surrounding air was distorted by the heat, with the temperature soaring.

Ice formed on his right hand, emanating a chilling aura.

Its legs are covered with a thick layer of rock, which looks very hard.

Hank explained from the side: "Unlike the Sentinel robots, which can only use one ability, the Ultron robot is made of a special metal, which is several levels stronger than the Sentinel robots. In addition, with the precise control of the Ultron artificial intelligence, it can use multiple abilities to launch combined attacks at the same time."

Everyone was astonished.

This is open!

Just as Hank was speaking, the Ultron robot rushed towards Logan, attacking from both sides with a combination of ice and fire, leaving Logan feeling like he was dying from ecstasy.

Logan tried to retaliate several times, but each time he launched an attack, the Ultron robot seemed to anticipate it and easily dodged it. Hank adjusted his glasses and continued explaining, "Ultron has powerful computing capabilities, allowing it to predict the opponent's attack routes. Moreover, the longer the battle lasts, the more data Ultron collects, constantly learning from the opponent's fighting style and finding more effective countermeasures."

Everyone nodded.

They knew this all too well; that's how the Sentinel robots defeated one powerful mutant after another.

Next, the Ultron robot began to beat Logan in various ways, with all sorts of special effects coming out as it relentlessly attacked Logan.

Hank provided simultaneous commentary, explaining the functions of the Ultron robot like a car salesman.

Everyone listened attentively, nodding occasionally. Some even took out electronic devices similar to mobile phones to record the scene of Logan being beaten, saying that there were too many points to remember and they would record it and study it carefully later.

Logan: "%#Y@#amp;"

However, Logan is still Wolverine, no matter what.

With his extensive experience (and skill), after enduring dozens of attacks, he finally managed to strike Ultron's body. *Sizzle!*

The adamantium claws tore three deep gashes in the Ultron robot's chest, sparks flying, revealing the intricate mechanical structure beneath. Logan, panting heavily, grinned at the wounds on Ultron's chest: "What robot? It's just a tin can in front of me."

That finally made me feel better; those dozens of beatings I took were worth it.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ultron robot's mechanical eyes suddenly lit up red and emitted a cold electronic voice.

"Armor damage detected. Conventional targets cannot be defeated. Initiating Level 2 combat protocol."

"What is a Level 2 combat protocol?"

Everyone was puzzled.

Hank cleared his throat and explained, "Simply put, the Ultron robot usually uses a standard mode, which is equivalent to a power-saving mode, to ensure that the Ultron robot can maintain combat for a longer period of time."

"However, when faced with an unconventional enemy, Ultron will activate the Level 2 combat protocol, enhance its algorithms, and use a few unconventional methods."

Upon hearing this, Logan arrogantly replied, "What unconventional methods? Go ahead and try them."

Despite saying this, he still kept his distance from the Ultron robot, keeping a close eye on its movements to avoid being beaten again. Strangely, the Ultron robot did not pursue him and remained standing in place.

Just as Logan was wondering what was going on, he saw flames erupt from beneath Ultron's feet, and the entire robot rose into the air, hovering steadily. Then, Ultron raised its right arm, and the metal plates flipped and rearranged.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a six-barreled Gatling gun, its dark muzzle pointed at Logan.

Logan: Three 0 (O^O) 0 villages

It's one thing to turn into a cold weapon, but it can even turn into a firearm?!

Before he could react, the six gun barrels had already begun to spin rapidly.

Whether it was an illusion or not, everyone seemed to see rings of semi-transparent rune patterns on the surface.

Da da da da da!

Flames erupted as countless bullets streaked across the red trails, raining down on Logan's body with deafening roars, their power absurd, like missiles swarming the ground.

The ground was shattered, with stones flying everywhere and smoke billowing. Logan was instantly engulfed in flames and could no longer be seen.

Everyone stared in disbelief.

You call this a little bit of unconventional methods?!
