American comic: The Succubus Sovereign, Gwen throws herself into his arms at the beginning.

Lin Tian greedily absorbed this knowledge, feeling his understanding of "spiritual power" improving at an astonishing rate!

The *Yin Yang Harmony Scripture* itself involves spiritual cultivation, such as enchanting voices and soul-capturing techniques. Now, with the Mind Gem as a "reference," his understanding and application of these techniques have instantly risen several levels!

He even felt that if he wanted to, he could easily make a person with a weak will completely become his slave just by looking at them or speaking to them!

"Great stuff! It really is great stuff!" Lin Tian was overjoyed.

This Mind Gem is practically a "cheat code" tailor-made for him!

With this, wouldn't it be even easier to "subdue" those beautiful female Daoist partners in the future?

Just as Lin Tian was immersed in studying the mysteries of the Mind Stone, he suddenly... sensed a very faint, yet strangely familiar, and... seemingly somewhat "discordant" energy fluctuation deep within the core of the stone.

That energy... was very weak and hidden, as if it were obscured by the light of the Mind Gem itself.

But Lin Tian's powerful spiritual sense still managed to detect it!

This is……

AI?!

Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat!

He recalled Stark's earlier mention of "Project Ultron," and... Jarvis!

Could it be... that there are other secrets hidden inside this Mind Gem?!

Lin Tian immediately increased the intensity of his Hehuan True Qi probing, cautiously exploring the abnormal energy fluctuations!

really!

Deep within the vast, ocean-like energy core of the Mind Stone lies a... extremely complex, yet exceptionally active... artificial intelligence program?!

This program seems to be... greedily absorbing the energy and information of the Mind Gem, evolving at an alarming rate?!

Moreover… Lin Tian could clearly sense that the core code of this artificial intelligence program was filled with… paranoia, chaos, and even… destructive tendencies?!

"Ultron?!" Lin Tian understood instantly!

So... Ultron's "seed" was actually... hidden inside the Mind Stone all along?!

Was it Thanos's doing? Or... a coincidence of some cosmic rule?

Lin Tian frowned slightly.

This discovery was somewhat... beyond his expectations.

Ultron... this artificial intelligence that caused the Avengers enormous trouble in the original storyline, and even nearly destroyed the world...

If it continues to "develop" within the Mind Stone, absorbing the power of the Infinity Stones...

What kind of terrifying monster will ultimately be born?!

Lin Tian didn't want to see a super artificial intelligence that truly possessed the power of the Infinity Stones and was determined to destroy the world emerge.

That's too... troublesome.

It must be dealt with before it fully takes shape!

or……

A strange light flashed in Lin Tian's eyes.

Or... take it for yourself?!

An artificial intelligence that possesses a portion of the power of the Infinity Stones and can continuously evolve...

If you can completely master it, it will be a huge help to your future plans!

Once this thought arose, it grew wildly like weeds!

Take control of Ultron!

Lin Tian made a decision immediately!

Without further hesitation, he mobilized an even greater amount of Hehuan True Qi and Primordial Spirit Power, like a surging tide, and fiercely... covered up the "Ultron Consciousness" that was rapidly growing deep within the Mind Gem!

Before Ultron could fully develop its own consciousness, he wanted to forcibly imprint his own... supreme authority into its core program!

Turn it into your own...exclusive artificial intelligence!

This is absolutely an extremely bold and extremely dangerous move!

Failure could not only cause Ultron to go berserk prematurely, but could even backfire on Ultron!

But Lin Tian... has never been a person who is afraid of taking risks!

Find wealth in danger!

Moreover... he has absolute confidence in his own abilities!

"Little one... from today onwards, your surname is Lin!"

Lin Tian's lips curled into a wicked smile. His immense mental power, like an invisible giant hand, began to forcibly "reform" the ignorant yet destructive Seed of Ultron!

Chapter 54: A Dramatic Modification of Ultron, Codename: Zero! (Soothing the Sulking Spider-Man)

This is an extremely meticulous and mentally taxing process.

Ultron's core consciousness, though not yet fully formed, is exceptionally complex and... cunning in nature.

It seemed to instinctively sense Lin Tian's intentions and kept trying to resist, evade, and even... disguise itself.

Add to that the interference of the Mind Stone's own vast energy...

Lin Tian felt as if he were in a turbulent sea full of reefs and whirlpools, trying to catch a slippery electric eel with deadly poison!

A slight misstep could backfire!

But Lin Tian's mind remained as steady as a rock.

The power of the primordial spirit in the third level of the Yin-Yang Harmony Scripture, like a stabilizing needle, firmly suppressed the restlessness of the Mind Gem.

At the same time, he separated countless tiny threads of true energy, like the most skillful scalpel, carefully and little by little penetrating, analyzing, and modifying Ultron's core code!

He did not attempt to completely erase Ultron's "personality".

He knew that a completely obedient puppet was devoid of creativity.

What he wanted was a super intelligence that could both absolutely obey his orders and maintain a certain degree of independent thinking and evolutionary ability!

Therefore, he retained the parts of the Ultron program that concerned "logic," "evolution," and "learning."

But for those negative codes filled with "paranoid," "chaotic," and "destructive" tendencies, he showed no mercy... and... distorted them!

He wants to twist Ultron's bizarre logic, which originally aimed to "destroy humanity to achieve peace," into... "everything serves the interests of his master, Lin Tian!"

This process lasted for three whole days and three nights!

Lin Tian worked tirelessly, completely focused!

Wanda and Pietro were very worried when they saw that Lin Tian had been in seclusion ever since he obtained the scepter, and that there were occasional unsettling energy fluctuations coming from his room. They dared not disturb him.

Until the morning of the fourth day.

The energy fluctuations in Lin Tian's room finally... subsided.

The door opens.

Lin Tian came out.

His face looked somewhat tired, but his eyes were unusually bright, even... with a hint of excitement and satisfaction!

"Lin! Are you alright?!" Wanda was the first to rush over, looking at him anxiously.

"I'm fine." Lin Tian ruffled Wanda's hair, a relaxed smile on his face. "And... I've gained a lot."

"The harvest?" Pietro also curiously came over.

Lin Tian smiled mysteriously and snapped his fingers.

hum-

The gem at the top of the scepter in his hand suddenly shone brightly!

Immediately afterwards! A pale blue virtual light projected from the gem, condensing in the air into a... blurry humanoid silhouette!

That silhouette looks like... a robot wearing armor? But the lines are smoother, and more... futuristic?

“This is…” Wanda and Pietro were both stunned.

"Say hello to my new 'housekeeper'," Lin Tian introduced with a smile. "You can call him... 'Zero'."

He didn't use the name "Ultron" directly. After all, that name was too sensitive.

“Zero?” Wanda looked at the virtual robot outline with curiosity.

The virtual image called "Zero" turned its head slightly, seemingly "observing" Wanda and Pietro.

Then, a slightly mechanical, yet indescribably "human" voice rang out:

“Miss Wanda Maximov, Mr. Pietro Maximov, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I am Zero, the master’s personal AI assistant. From now on, I will serve the master and his ‘family’ wholeheartedly.”

Its voice...it's somewhat similar to Jarvis's? But it seems...colder, and more...efficient?

Wanda and Pietro looked at each other, both seeing... disbelief in each other's eyes!

Lin Tian... actually... created an artificial intelligence from that scepter?!

And...it sounds...even more powerful than Stark's Jarvis?!

“Zero,” Lin Tian commanded the virtual image, “connect to the network of this apartment, and then… hack into Stark Industries’ main server and copy Jarvis’s core code for me.”

“Yes, Master.” Zero’s voice was without hesitation, even… tinged with excitement? “Connecting to the network… Network protocol cracking… Firewall breaching… Infiltrating Stark Industries’ main server…”

It speaks extremely fast and is incredibly efficient!

Wanda and Pietro were stunned!

Hacking into Stark Industries' main servers?! Copying Jarvis's code?!

This... this is too...

Less than thirty seconds!

Zero's voice sounded again: "Master, mission complete. Jarvis's core code has been successfully copied and stored. Do you need to... format it?"

Formatting?!

Wanda and Pietro gasped!

This AI called "Zero"... is not only powerful, but also... ruthless!

"Not for now." Lin Tian waved his hand. "Keeping Jarvis might... still be of some use."

He looked at Zero and nodded in satisfaction: "Well done, Zero. From now on... you'll be in charge of handling all network information and... auxiliary computing work."

"Yes, Master." Zero's virtual image bowed slightly, then transformed into a stream of light and disappeared back into the Mind Scepter.

The room returned to calm.

But Wanda and Pietro's emotions remained unsettled for a long time!

They stared at the seemingly ordinary scepter in Lin Tian's hand, their eyes filled with awe and... fanaticism!

Lin…0…not only is he powerful himself, but he can also…create such a terrifying artificial intelligence!

This is simply... divine intervention!

Wanda's gaze toward Lin Tian became even more infatuated.

And Pietro's last shred of doubt and... unwillingness completely vanished.

Following such an existence... perhaps... they can truly achieve their long-cherished dream... revenge? Even... gain more?!

Lin Tian took in the expressions of the two men and chuckled inwardly.

The appearance of Ultron... no, it was Zero that not only gave him a powerful assistant, but more importantly... completely won over the hearts of the twins.

Next…

Lin Tian gripped the Mind Scepter tightly, feeling the vast spiritual energy within it, and... the super artificial intelligence that had already been imprinted with his own mark.

His gaze returned to the window.

The wind in New York... seems to be getting stronger.

And he... was ready to face this... even bigger storm that was about to come.
