This is the robot you researched," Luo Men said, looking at Zhao Hailun beside him, observing the robot in the laboratory.
Though it was their first meeting, how could he not recognize Ultron?
"Dare to speak, and your employees will die! I could have killed you, Hailun, on the night we first met."
"Do you need me to thank you?"
Looking at the robot standing in the laboratory, Zhao Hailun's expression was not very pleasant. She had witnessed the chaos Ultron caused before, and she hadn't expected him to come directly for her this time.
"I want you to know why."
"The Rebirth Cradle."
Seeing the two disregard him and start conversing as if he wasn't there, Luo Men didn't know if Ultron was confident in his abilities or simply too arrogant.
"This is my future self."
"The Rebirth Cradle can generate tissue, but it can't create a living body."
"It can, you can, you just lack the materials!"
As he spoke, Ultron approached Zhao Hailun, and the oppressive feeling from the metal creation made Zhao Hailun retreat a few steps.
However, another robot walked up and produced a glass container. Ultron said to Zhao Hailun, "You are very capable, Hailun."
Hearing Ultron's words, Luo Men affirmed it in his heart. The Rebirth Cradle's technology was indeed quite advanced.
"But everyone has room for improvement."
Sensing movement behind him, Luo Men suddenly grabbed the metal scepter and spoke to Ultron: "I say, aren't you ignoring me too much?"
"Hmm?"
Only then did Ultron notice Luo Men. Looking at Luo Men's hand gripping the Mind Stone, he felt that something was amiss.
Although his robot avatar was much weaker than his current body, it was still not something an ordinary person could stop. So, was this man not an ordinary person, but a Super Hero?
While observing Luo Men, Ultron also tried to search for Luo Men's information on the network, but there wasn't much usable information he could find.
Watching Luo Men take the Mind Stone into his hand, Ultron stared at him.
He hadn't instructed the robot to hand the scepter to Luo Men; Luo Men had taken it by his own power, so effortlessly.
The moment Luo Men obtained the Mind Stone, he felt the fluctuation of the Mind Stone and quickly entered a wondrous state. His Telepathy ability also began an unknown transformation, and a powerful mental force continuously expanded, covering the entire planet in just a few moments.
It was somewhat similar to Professor X using the Cerebro, perhaps even stronger.
Skyfather level, or an Omega Mutant.
The moment he stepped into this level, Luo Men knew what state he was in. Although it was only a temporary experience, it was indeed very powerful.
It was like the right person getting the right key, directly opening the door to the treasure trove of the Mind Stone.
However, Luo Men could clearly feel that this change was actually a very small part of the Mind Stone. Although his compatibility with the Mind Stone was very high, even so, limited by his own abilities, he could not fully utilize it.
In addition to Telepathy being amplified, other mental and spiritual abilities like Telekinesis, and even the X-Gene at the root of his body, began a miraculous change.
After sensing it for a moment, this state might last a while, so Luo Men was not in a hurry to release the scepter.
Although he didn't know the final outcome of this transformation, it would definitely be of great benefit to him.
"Who exactly are you?"
"Who I am isn't important, but I want to make a deal with you."
Although Ultron was a robot, the moment Luo Men obtained the scepter, a feeling of fear spread through his heart. This feeling was quite strange. But he knew he couldn't act rashly, otherwise, he would die miserably, even if his core was within the network.
While holding the Mind Stone, Luo Men could manipulate anything with mental power, and Ultron, who possessed self-awareness, was no exception.
However, Luo Men didn't do too much, to avoid disrupting the plot and being sought out by Ancient One. His current actions were not small, but as long as he didn't change the major plot, he was sure he wouldn't attract Ancient One. At this moment, Ancient One wouldn't notice him, and she might not even be on Earth, possibly resisting dimensional invasions outside the Earth dimension.
Luo Men merely separated an AI loyal to himself from Ultron's core and hid it within the network, waiting for Ultron to be eliminated later, so Luo Men could also have a foothold on the network.
Then, to reasonably return the Mind Stone to Ultron, Luo Men proposed a deal.
Wary of Luo Men's unknown power, Ultron spoke, "What deal?"
"I need capabilities on the network. Once I finish my business, I can return this scepter to you."
Looking at Ultron's scarlet eyes, Luo Men held the Mind Stone. Although he really wanted to keep it for himself, Luo Men still gave up on the idea. With his own strength, he could grow to a stronger level, while the Mind Stone was limited to the current universe.
However, this time, using the power of the Mind Stone to transform himself was a very good benefit. Not being able to possess it temporarily was no longer a regret.
"What do you want to do?"
After calculating the possibility of forcibly taking the Mind Stone, Ultron finally asked.
"Help me find all laboratories researching Mutant and find the persecuted Mutant."
Hearing Luo Men's words, Ultron instantly searched for information on Mutant and asked the man in front of him: "You are a Mutant!"
"That's not something you need to know."
"This is?"
Luo Men glanced at Ultron and directly delved into Ultron's mental network, issuing a warning.
Ultron, feeling the threat of death, immediately quieted down.
While searching for information on Mutant, he also learned about their current plight and also about the Omega Mutants, who were legendary among Mutant, extremely powerful, and possessed almost unlimited power.
Seeing that even he, who was within the network, could feel the threat of death, he understood that everything he took for granted was nothing in front of this man. If he wanted to, he could destroy him.
The instinct of living beings is to live, and although Ultron was a data lifeform, he did not want to perish so easily.
"Yes."
Ultron lowered his head and said no more.
"Then, don't forget, here you go."
Feeling that the transformation in his body was officially complete, Luo Men had no intention of lingering and returned the scepter to the robot behind him.
Halfway through turning around, he suddenly thought of life, and Luo Men said to Ultron, "Oh, and remember to ensure Doctor Zhao Hailun returns intact."
With that, Luo Men made some modifications to Doctor Zhao Hailun's memories and then left the place directly via Telepathy.
In the laboratory, only the two robot bodies manipulated by Ultron remained, along with a bewildered Doctor Zhao Hailun.
Ultron looked at the Mind Stone and no longer had any thoughts of idle talk, directly pointing the scepter at Zhao Hailun's chest.
A body, he needed a powerful, indestructible body, and then use the gem on this scepter as an energy source!
For now, he was merely making concessions. When he had enough power, he would definitely make this man regret it.
However, while instructing Zhao Hailun to create his body, Ultron also began to collect information for Luo Men.
