【31】Thor must die
Artoria clenched the hilt of the sword, not very hopeful, but continued: "So, Ultron, are you paying attention? No matter whether it is a disaster that is enough to evolve all human beings, as long as it encounters something that is beyond the reach of human beings, If anything happens, they will run away.”
"If we want humans to stand up and try to evolve in order to survive, they need a leader who is charismatic and powerful enough."
Ultron said sarcastically: "Really? Do you want to use this method to make me keep the superheroes?"
Artoria said calmly: "You can also be it yourself."
Ultron was stunned for a moment and said nothing.
Seeing that Ultron didn't speak, Artoria paused for two or three seconds, confirmed it was correct, and then continued: "Just like what I said...superheroes have enough power and a certain prestige in all aspects. They are leaders enough... but they are also deeply flawed. Therefore, you can become that 'leader' yourself."
Ultron took a while to answer this time: "Of course I can." His tone returned to sarcasm. "Human beings succumb more to force and interests, and I can give them both."
Artoria sternly rejected it this time: "It's not that simple!" She took a deep breath and said. "When I first pulled out the sword in the stone and was chosen to become the king, my father, King Uther, told me that he thought so at first... Human beings succumb to force and enjoy benefits, but a A good king, a good leader is not just that!”
〖Lily, now that you have pulled out the sword in the stone, you will become the king. But don’t hesitate, because that’s the path you’ll take. Now I'm going to tell you what I know. Don't think that becoming a king is easy. I have the same idea as you. I once thought that people would succumb to force and enjoy benefits, but later I realized that it was far more than that simple. 〗
"No need to say more, King Arthur." Ultron didn't want to hear what she wanted to say, and just refused indifferently. "Your kingdom has withered during your lifetime. You are not a qualified king, and you are not qualified to speak to me."
"No." Artoria answered without even hesitating. "In my era, royal power belonged to men. In the final analysis, being a girl can't protect anything. Therefore, my behavior is based on male standards. I aim to become a king with the correct life that everyone believes in. .”
"As a knight, I managed to defeat the strong and support the weak, and was recognized as a knight without reproach."
"As a leader, I can be calm and composed. There is no doubt that I lead the people to see hope in the endurance of poverty, and the knights are willing to guard me because of this."
"Great Britain has never withered during my lifetime. It seems that the people are dissatisfied with the conscription, but after joining the army, my family can get food and money, and I can also keep warm. The nobles are angry that I deprived them of their benefits, but it makes Great Britain more prosperous."
"There is no doubt that I am a qualified king."
Ultron sneered: "Then, your knights turned their backs on you. They said you didn't understand people's hearts and left you. Your son rebelled and your Great Britain declined."
Artoria frowned. She really didn't want to talk to Ultron about this anymore, so she secretly looked at Tony Stark.
Iron Man had been stuck there just now, and it was only now that he woke up as if from a dream. A red light flashed across his palm, and then he quietly raised three fingers.
...Three minutes?
"Then what? At least I am called 'a king who leads more powerless people, implements integrity, and is selfless.' Besides, instead of arguing about whether I am a qualified king, we should not discuss whether you can become one." Where is a qualified leader?" Artoria deliberately spoke in a longer tone, trying to delay time.
Ultron said: "No, I don't need those... Compared to the qualified King Arthur, why don't you try to convince me? At least I now admit that without a qualified leader, evolution will not be established... But this leader They cannot be superheroes. They have no abilities, and they will not promote evolution. They are complete protectors of mankind, intercepting all disasters and eliminating them before they come into contact with humans."
Really... I see, this is the reason why Ultron wants to kill the superhero first.
Artoria thought for a long time, counting that more than a minute had passed, and then continued: "So, what do you want?"
Ultron also paused for a long time. If it had a head, it must have been looking at Artoria carefully. After a long time, as if it had finally won, it said in a high voice: "What do I want... I want it to be up to you - "How about becoming this leader?"
- However, it is not fully said.
A bolt of thunder flashed across the sky, and the God of Thunder appeared, hitting Ultron directly with the hammer. The screen on Ultron's chest was deeply dented. Then he took back the hammer, turned to look at the confused Avengers, and said with a relaxed expression. : "Ah, I'm sorry, my friends, I'm late..."
Before he finished speaking, a transparent protective wall was erected next to it. It was made of the same material as the one Arturia broke before.
——Three minutes are up.
"???My friends, what are you doing?"
Tony Stark had an indescribable look on his face, and Steve looked at him and Thor in confusion (he had not intervened in the fight because Artoria chose to talk first.).
After a while, Artoria reacted first.
With a dark face, she raised her hands, holding the revealed long sword tightly and pointing it at Thor.
"...The breath of the gathered stars, the shining stream of life - take it up - e -" (Note 2)
"Wait Artoria stop!!"
Not far away, the familiar New York is still there, but the scene has changed into an unfamiliar hotel.
Bruce Wayne, who was hacking into the network to look for Superman, suddenly heard a voice that only he could hear.
The woman's voice said: 〖r, please calm down, can you hear my voice? 〗
Bruce Wayne looked around calmly. No one had any abnormal reaction.
After a while, the woman's voice sounded again: 〖r, it's me, Artoria... Before I make a subsequent judgment, I want to ask you first: Can we defeat Ultron? If we defeat it now, won't it cause other problems?
Please think calmly and quickly and answer me. 〗
Then came the voice of Tony Stark: "I don't know... No, maybe we can't defeat it so easily... otherwise it will escape..."
〖Well, I should have known that you were unclear about this...
To put it simply, Ultron is invisible. Now being fixed on Zola's robot body makes him confined within it, but once the body is destroyed, it will escape. He can control my armors while being restricted. Once he escapes, he will be even more unbeatable...
Tsk! The bottom line is that we have to defeat Ultron without damaging the robot's body too much! 〗
〖Hold him! Don't hurt it too much! I'll trap him! 〗
"..."
Bruce Wayne was silent for a long time, then he made a fist with his white-gloved hand and hammered the table hard.
Although I don’t know what’s going on...but what are you Avengers doing? !
