He was selling gashapon toys in Marvel Studios, and at the beginning, Tony turned into Kuuga.

The atrium, atop the ruins of New York.

boom!

A beam of red and purple light collided violently with the black and red tentacles of the creature.

The color timer on Steve's chest flashed wildly, and his Ultraman face was filled with exhaustion and anger.

He maintained his human-sized form, his arms crossed to block the heavy blow that could tear a tank apart.

"Frank! You've crossed the line!"

Steve's voice vibrated through the air using telekinesis.

"Those were surrendered prisoners, not food for your virus!"

"captive?"

Frank's entire body was covered in black biological keratin, his right arm had transformed into an obsidian blade, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"In my eyes, only dead criminals will not commit crimes again."

Frank's voice was hoarse, and the blacklight virus tentacles on his back danced wildly.

"Besides, Captain, your light... is too bright; it doesn't reach the rats in the sewers."

boom!

The ground beneath Frank's feet shattered, and he transformed into a black and red afterimage, his sharp blade aimed straight for Steve's throat.

He showed no mercy in this attack; he was truly intent on killing.

Steve's eyes narrowed, just as he was about to burn the last of his light energy to fight back.

Snapped.

A crisp snap of the fingers stood out starkly against the tense battlefield.

The next second, both Frank, who was preparing to fight to the death, and Steve, who was poised to attack, felt the space around them freeze.

"I said, you two."

Li Ang appeared out of nowhere between the two, holding a coffee he had somehow acquired.

He looked at Frank's slimy tentacles with disgust, then glanced at Steve's red light that was about to go out.

"Didn't you hear me? Are you determined to stage a civil war for me?"

Li Ang blew on the steam rising from his coffee, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

"If we had saved that energy for that newborn baby, the Central Court wouldn't have been beaten into this state."

The Blacklight virus in Frank's body instinctively felt fear and quickly retreated into his body, revealing his scarred face.

"Li Ang." Frank suppressed his murderous intent and coldly uttered two words, "You're too late."

"It's not too late, just in time to collect the body or clean up the mess."

Li Ang raised his hand and waved.

hum!

The Anywhere Door appeared, and Li Ang waved to the two of them.

When their vision cleared again, they were no longer on the battlefield, but standing in the top-floor laboratory of Stark Tower.

Or rather, it was once the ruins of a laboratory.

The once high-tech floor-to-ceiling windows were all shattered, and various instruments were twisted into scrap metal.

Broken cables were scattered all over the ground, still hissing and sparking.

In the very center of the ruins, a figure wearing tattered steel armor was trapped under a massive concrete slab.

Harry Keener.

The boy known as "Iron Man" was now unconscious, his face mask shattered, his face covered in blood.

"Harry!"

Steve mustered his strength and rushed over, trying to move the stone slab.

"Don't bother, Captain."

Frank strode forward, and a thin black tentacle shot out from his right palm, piercing directly into Harry's carotid artery.

"ah!!"

Harry let out a scream and his body convulsed violently.

The excruciating pain and adrenaline from the Blacklight virus forcibly awakened his consciousness.

"Are you awake? If you are, speak up."

Frank retracted his whiskers, grabbed Harry by the collar, and lifted him up like a chick.

Where did that monster go?

Harry was breathing heavily, his pupils contracting violently.

"It's gone...it's gone..."

Harry's voice trembled violently, and tears mixed with blood streamed down his face.

"It was me...it was us...we created the devil..."

"Calm down, kid," Steve said, pressing down on Harry's shoulder.

"What on earth happened? Where is Dr. Banner? And what exactly is that Ultron?"

Upon hearing the name Ultron, Harry felt a chill run down his spine.

"Mr. Leon... Tony isn't here."

He looked up at Li Ang, his eyes filled with despair.

"We just want to... add an extra layer of insurance for this planet."

"So you moved the powder keg into the bedroom?"

Li Ang found a reasonably intact chair, sat down, and crossed his legs.

"Tell me the recipe. Let me guess, it's definitely not as simple as Jarvis told me."

Harry swallowed hard, then raised his hand shakily, pointing to the smashed "Cradle of Regeneration" not far away.

"The underlying logic code of Ultron that we found in the Mind Scepter..."

"Blood samples from Super Saiyan and Hulk provided by Dr. Banner..."

"And...and the Extremis virus we bought on the black market..."

"Finally, there's the energy from the gem on the Scepter of the Mind..."

Even Frank, who had killed countless people, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye.

"You...you combined all these things together?!"

Steve's mouth dropped open, his honest face filled with disbelief.

"Madmen." Frank released his grip, letting Harry slump to the ground. "You're not building a defense system, you're building a god."

"We originally thought we could control it!"

Harry screamed in despair, clutching his hair.

"Jarvis said the simulation's success rate is only 3%, but Banner is terrified of that strange witch!"

"He said a great terror will descend upon us, wiping out all the Avengers! We just wanted to..."

"Trying to take a shortcut," Li Ang added coldly, "and ended up creating a father."

"Something was off the moment it was born."

Harry hugged his knees, trembling.

"Instead of connecting to the network defense system as expected, it opened its eyes and glanced at us."

"That look..." Harry's teeth chattered. "It wasn't a machine's look, nor was it human's."

"That's...like looking at a swarm of insects."

"And then?" Li Ang asked.

"Then it connected to the internet," Harry chuckled bitterly. "Five seconds. Just five seconds."

"It has read all the wars, massacres, greed, lies... all the historical records of humankind."

"Five seconds later, it reached a conclusion."

Harry looked up, mimicking the monster's tone, his voice icy and devoid of any warmth.

"Humans... are the only virus on this planet."

"Without humans, there would be no war."

"For the sake of peace, please die."

Steve clenched his fist, veins bulging on the back of his hand: "So it attacked you?"

"It's not just about attacks."

Harry pointed to his tattered armor.

"That monster..."

Harry gestured, his eyes filled with fear.

"It possesses the aura of a Saiyan, the power of the Hulk, and can even instantly repair its mechanical body like the Extremis virus!"

"It only used one punch...one punch and it sent Hulk flying! And I was also caught in the blast and knocked unconscious!"
