The only player in the Marvel universe.

"My Lord, we now have 23 Ultron robot production plants, with a maximum daily production capacity exceeding 1000. The total number of Ultron robots in our army has now reached 3680."

A Ultron robot was standing next to Du Mu, reporting the situation to him.

To be precise, it was Ultron, the artificial intelligence, speaking to him through the mouth of a robot.

"Not bad, not bad."

Du Mu nodded in satisfaction.

These days, he has been leading Ultron robots to sweep across various parts of America, not only seizing multiple Sentinel robot production factories, but also looting all the reserves of human high-ranking officials hidden in various places, in order to produce more Ultron robots.

He wasn't afraid of a counterattack from the human elites and taking back the production factory.

The newly produced AoChuang robots don't need any break-in period and can be put into use immediately upon arrival.

Each production plant is guarded by a large number of Ultron robots. Even if the human leadership launches a strong attack, they will not be able to take it down in a short time. As long as they can hold out for a moment, Du Mu can teleport the reinforcements to the rescue.

What if the other side has too many people and we can't beat them?

That makes things much easier.

Instead of confronting them head-on, Du Mu led the Ultron robots around and headed to rob sentinel robot factories in other regions.

Anyway, they have the amazing ability to teleport, so no matter how fast humans move, they definitely can't outrun them.

By the time the human leadership finally managed to capture one of the Ultron robot production factories, Du Mu's side had already taken over several Sentinel robot production factories.

Trading one for multiple others—this deal is a steal no matter how you look at it.

Unfortunately, the human leaders learned their lesson and began to defend rather than attack. They heavily guarded every stronghold, clearly not giving Du Mu a chance to make a move.

Du Mu, however, was not in a hurry.

He's still frantically building up his army. Once the Ultron robot army grows several times larger, he won't be sneaking around to steal it anymore; he'll be crushing it head-on.

"Is this the power of technology?"

Professor X couldn't help but utter a sigh.

For decades, they had been fighting the Sentinel robots, always on the receiving end, even forced to hide and flee. Now, Du Mu, relying solely on these Ultron robots, was driving the once invincible Sentinel robots into a rout.

In a short period of time, they accomplished what they had not been able to do in decades.

Magneto said with a regretful expression, "If only I had 800, or even just 800, of these robots back then, mutants wouldn't be in this predicament."

These past few days, the two old men have witnessed firsthand the formidable performance of the Ultron robot, and they've begun to doubt whether they've chosen the wrong path. Could it be that technology is the right way?

Seeing the two old men beginning to doubt themselves, Du Mu comforted them, "Don't think too much. In fact, mutants have great potential. As long as they can develop their abilities to the extreme, they can be ridiculously strong."

"Just like Magneto's ability, if he could learn to control magnetism, no matter how many Sentinel robots there were, they would be no match for him. Or Iceman, as long as he could reach absolute zero, time would lose its meaning in front of him."

"If you don't believe me, just look at Phantom Cat. She can even develop time travel using her ethereal ability. Isn't that a living example?"

After hearing Du Mu's words of comfort, the two old men felt even more distressed.

So they've been holding nuclear weapons all along, but they just haven't been using them the right way; they've been using them to crack walnuts instead.

Ultimately, these mutants have never truly understood the nature of their abilities.

Take Magneto, for example. Despite his name, he always believed his power was metal manipulation, so he only ever thought about controlling metal.

But he was completely unaware that the real power he used to control the metal was actually the magnetic field.

Eric was the same; if it weren't for Du Mu's guidance, he probably would have followed in Wan Tiewang's footsteps.

Logan, a man from a culturally isolated place, was completely bewildered and couldn't help but ask, "Are mutants really that powerful? What would my abilities be at their peak?"

Du Mu hesitated for two seconds: "You won't die until I drop dead."

Logan:

Isn't that obvious?!

Since the advent of Ultron, mutants' lives have finally improved.

They used to live in constant fear, afraid that the Sentinel robots would suddenly appear and wipe them all out.

Now, with the Ultron robot army, the Sentinel robots are no longer a threat to them.

Even the dangerous frontline missions are now all handled by the Ultron robots, so there's no need for them to participate in the fighting.

This resulted in a large number of combat personnel losing their jobs and taking off their uniforms to work in logistics.

Professor X serves as the base's psychological counselor.

In this apocalyptic world, mutants are under immense psychological pressure.

Therefore, he often provides psychological counseling to the people in the base to prevent anyone from feeling uneasy, such as elbowing the concrete ground from a height, playing tug-of-war with their neck against the roof beam, or comparing the hardness of their wrist to a blade.

Magneto became the captain of the engineering team, leading his men around to carry out infrastructure projects every day. With his decades of experience in controlling metals, he was doing very well.

Storm provided power to all the buildings, and occasionally summoned lightning to charge the power storage station.

Iceman is in charge of food storage and acts as the central air conditioning for the entire base.

As for Logan, this once-popular X-Men icon has now been reduced to a glorious laborer.

After all, with his body of steel and boundless stamina, it would be a real waste if he didn't do manual labor.

However, the number of Ultron robots has recently skyrocketed, gradually replacing their manual labor, causing Logan to face the risk of unemployment again. He is frowning every day, smoking cigars and drinking alone, repeating the same sentence over and over again.

"Damn the robot age!"

The mutants at the base now almost all have their own jobs.

Their abilities are incredibly diverse, covering almost every field, from repairing plumbing and unclogging toilets to working in mechanics and electronics; there's no job they can't find.

This isn't some kind of mutant base; it's clearly a large talent market.

If humans and mutants had cooperated back then, with their technology and superpowers, they could have already broken out of Earth and fought aliens together. Furthermore, the mutants brought by Du Mu also gained quite a bit.

Especially Jean, back in Xavier's Academy, she could only train by using her skills on targets, and the occasional sparring sessions were with her own people, so she never dared to use her full strength.

But things are different now. This post-apocalyptic world may lack other things, but it has plenty of adversaries.

For Qin, it was a godsend training ground.

Those killing machines that used to chase mutants all over the streets have now become Jean's training tools. She can beat them however she wants, and she doesn't care if they get damaged.

After so many days of actual combat, Jean's abilities are getting stronger and stronger, and her introverted personality is becoming more open. There is always a dark aura in her eyes. Magneto and the others are terrified when they see her. They visit Jean every day to comfort her and tell her not to feel so much pressure.

The same goes for Charles.

He had long known just how terrifying the power hidden within the zither was.

For the safety of Qin and those around her, he specially created a mental cage to restrain that terrifying power, fearing that the nuclear bomb might accidentally explode.

"Aren't you afraid that Qin will lose control of her powers if you let her use them so freely?"

Charles frowned, his voice filled with worry.

"Only suppression will lead to loss of control."

Du Mu remained calm and looked down at Charles: "You should also know how Qin died in this timeline, right?" Charles was silent for a moment.

He had indeed heard that Professor X in this world had been desperately suppressing the power within Jean.

Jean unleashed her true power in the face of adversity, but she had no idea how to control it. She was instantly taken over by her second personality and threw Professor X, who had imprisoned her, to the ground, leaving not even ashes. Logan and the others could only find a few pieces of Professor X's clothes to make a cenotaph.

If Professor X hadn't taken precautions beforehand, using his twin brother's body to reincarnate, he'd be buried a mountain of weeds by now. Seeing Charles remain silent, Du Mu continued, "Power is like desire; the more you suppress it, the more it rebounds wildly. For example, if I told you to go back and give up Mora, so you could only look at it but not touch it, could you do it?"

Charles paused for a moment, then gave an awkward laugh: "Uh, that is indeed a bit difficult..."

He was young and full of vigor, unlike some middle-aged men who wished they could sleep in the lobby every day; for him, quitting morphine was more difficult than quitting drugs. "That's settled then."

Du Mu rolled his eyes: "It's better to guide than to block. Instead of going to great lengths to suppress the power of the zither, it's better to let her adapt to it sooner and proceed step by step. Even if she can't fully control it, at least she won't explode at the slightest touch."

"Otherwise, if Qin's second personality really erupts one day, the first person she'll definitely retaliate against is you, the mastermind who locked her up. She'll drag you out of your wheelchair and make you walk on your own two feet."

Charles blinked. "But my legs were fine to begin with."

"Who said it was your legs that were used?"

Charles swallowed hard and nodded quickly: "I think your idea is excellent, let's do it your way."

Du Mu expressed his disdain for Charles's change of heart, but also his delight at it.

Under his influence, Charles's moral bottom line has become quite flexible, fluctuating wildly.

If it were someone with Professor X's personality, that would be a real headache.

A few days later, Du Mu took action again.

With a wave of his hand, he launched an attack on the Sentinel Robot production plant.

Countless cracks appeared in the sky in an instant, and purple portals materialized out of thin air. Countless Ultron robots poured out of the portals, a dark mass that blotted out the sun.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The stationed soldiers reacted extremely quickly, and the alarm blared instantly.

The next moment, the transport planes in the air released a large number of Sentinel robots, like a swarm of silver bees, rushing towards Ultron. Without a word, Ultron immediately activated its second-stage mode, its hands transforming into Gatling guns, the twelve barrels spinning rapidly. Rat-a-tat-tat-tat!

Dazzling flames erupted, illuminating the entire night sky.

Countless bullets intertwined to form an impenetrable barrage, like a torrent of metal, instantly engulfing the oncoming sentry robots.

Under the barrage of powerful magical bullets, countless Sentinel robots plummeted from the sky, crashing to the ground with a series of thuds.

The ground was quickly covered with a layer of mechanical debris.

The number of Ultron robots has increased many times over, far exceeding what Sentinel robots can withstand by sheer numbers.

Under heavy fire, the Sentinel robots were unable to penetrate the Ultron robots' lines.

The Sentinel robot lifted its visor and spewed out jets of scorching fire in retaliation, but the Ultron robot anticipated this and instantly condensed a thick layer of ice armor on its surface.

The Ultron robot's use of this ability was clearly far more advanced than Iceman's central air conditioning system; the flames it spewed only produced a hissing puff of white smoke, completely failing to harm the main body inside.

The sentinel robots were on the verge of collapse.

An officer yelled at the top of his lungs, "Deploy the latest model of sentry robots immediately!"

The soldier beside him spoke up, reminding him, "But sir, the new model of sentry robot hasn't gone through the testing phase yet..."

"Screw the test!"

The officer kicked a soldier in the leg, his eyes bloodshot: "If you dawdle any longer, we'll all die here! Release him now!"

The soldiers dared not waste any more words and hurriedly began to operate.

Soon, a group of sentinel robots with very different appearances suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

They were more robust and had sharper lines than ordinary sentries; they were clearly not to be trifled with.

But what's most eye-catching is their chests, each adorned with a bright device that emits a faint blue light.

It was exactly the same as the miniature arc reactor on the chest of the Ultron robot.

The officer breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the arrival of the sentinel robots.

To boost the morale of his soldiers, he grabbed a megaphone and shouted, "Listen up, all of you! This is our latest sentinel robot, developed using the same technology as those other robots—nuclear fusion! But our technology is more advanced and powerful. We will win this battle!"

Hearing these words, the soldiers felt much more at ease.

Mutants might not fully grasp the terror of Ultron, but they knew all too well that it was a real-life version of the Omnic Crisis. Now, with the emergence of new Sentinel robots capable of rivaling Ultron, it felt almost as if the mutants themselves had Ultron. Amidst their expectant gazes, the new Sentinel robots streaked across the sky, charging towards the army of Ultron robots.

Ultron Robotics had already noticed these newly emerged guys.

Without saying a word, he immediately turned his gun around and opened fire.

The new sentry robots charged forward fearlessly, displaying great momentum.

And then no more.

New type of Sentinel Robots, wiped out!

Soldiers: (Q_O)

Du Mu slowly walked out from behind and squatted down in front of the nearest wreckage of a new type of sentry robot.

He reached out and removed the small arc reactor from his chest, picked it up and looked at it.

"Which genius put an LED light on their chest?"
