Chapter 294: Chapter 293
"Ronan, where exactly do you want me to take you?"
Black Widow asked curiously.
Chen Ye replied, "Natasha, no offense intended... I've heard that before you joined S.H.I.E.L.D., you were a top agent for the Soviet Union. I want to go to the place where you were trained: the Red Room."
Hearing this, Black Widow's expression changed instantly.
The Red Room!
The name itself was a nightmare she wished to forget, and now Chen Ye had brought it up.
Black Widow immediately stood up, saying, "I can't help you with that. Find someone else!" She turned to leave.
Chen Ye quickly added, "Natasha, the Red Room still exists. They're still creating 'Black Widows,' and every year, many girls die there. Don't you want to destroy that hellish place and save your fellow trainees?"
Black Widow froze.
No one understood better than she did just how terrifying the Red Room was.
Out of hundreds of girls in each batch, only one would successfully 'graduate.'
For those who didn't make the cut, the outcome was death!
Chen Ye's description of the Red Room as hell was no exaggeration.
Before Black Widow could argue, Chen Ye continued, "Every child who graduates from there is denied a life of their own, only existing as killing machines. Natasha, you were lucky to find value in your existence, but not everyone is as fortunate as you!"
Black Widow was finally persuaded and sat back down.
"What exactly do you want to do? What's your real goal?" she asked.
Chen Ye said seriously, "My goal is to destroy the Red Room and bring its masterminds to justice!"
In truth, Chen Ye's goal was to find suitable subordinates.
Natasha Romanoff was the second generation of Black Widow (according to comic lore).
In the Red Room, there was an even more formidable third-generation Black Widow: Yelena Belova!
Based on the timeline, Yelena Belova should still be in training. It wouldn't be long before she broke all of Natasha Romanoff's records, setting a new high as the third-generation Black Widow!
Of course, Yelena Belova was just a backup target for Chen Ye.
The main target was the Red Room's mastermind, Taskmaster!
Black Widow stared at Chen Ye.
After a long pause, she finally spoke, "Right now, Ultron is our main enemy. After we deal with him, I'll take you there!"
Chen Ye frowned slightly at her words.
Without Vision, eliminating Ultron would be extremely difficult!
Ultron was an AI, and as long as there was a network, he had a place to hide.
Unless the entire world went offline, there would be no way to leave Ultron with nowhere to run.
But that was obviously impossible.
Ever since the internet was created, humans have been reliant on it. Without the internet, global civilization would regress by decades, which was unacceptable to anyone.
So, eliminating Ultron without Vision was theoretically almost impossible.
And the Mind Stone, which could create Vision, was currently in Chen Ye's possession.
Chen Ye still had uses for the Mind Stone and wasn't about to create Vision with it.
"Ultron isn't that easy to kill. Do you have a plan?" Chen Ye asked.
Black Widow responded, "I was about to ask if you had any plans!"
Chen Ye was speechless for a moment. He thought, then said, "I might have an idea, though I'm not sure if it will work."
Upon hearing this, Black Widow's eyes lit up.
"Can you tell me what it is?"
Having a plan was better than having no clue at all.
"Ultron is an AI. To defeat him, you'd need another AI," Chen Ye explained.
"Jarvis?" Black Widow asked.
"No, something more advanced!" Chen Ye smiled. "Let's eat first. After that, we'll go see Tony. I have a little gift for him!"
…
An hour later.
Chen Ye and Black Widow arrived at Stark Tower.
Hearing that Chen Ye had a plan to deal with Ultron, Tony and Captain America had been waiting for a while.
"Ronan!"
Upon seeing Chen Ye, Captain America immediately asked, "Those two kids with you aren't ordinary. What exactly is your purpose with them?"
Chen Ye smiled slightly and replied, "I'm resolving potential threats to Earth."
"Threats? What threats?" Captain America pressed.
"It's a long story," Chen Ye shook his head. "Captain, once Ultron is dealt with, I'll explain everything. Also, after I leave Earth, I want those two kids to join the Avengers. I hope you'll train them—they've had a hard life and have no home."
"Oh?"
Captain America was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect Chen Ye to let them go so easily.
Moreover, Chen Ye mentioned leaving Earth?
What a mysterious man.
Tony asked, "Ronan! I heard you have a gift for me? I'll have you know, I don't settle for ordinary things."
"It's much better than the tin cans you make!" Chen Ye replied with a smile. "Think of it as compensation for the two suits of armor I took from you last time!"
Hearing Chen Ye belittle his armor like that, Tony felt indignant, "I hope you're serious and won't disappoint me! So, where's the gift?"
"To your garage!" Chen Ye said.
The group then headed to Tony's garage.
As they left the building, a few Reincarnators happened to see Chen Ye, Captain America, and the others walking out.
"Who is that guy?"
"He looks like someone important, judging by how serious Iron Man and Captain America seem around him."
"You think... could he be Shura?"
"Whoa, now that you mention it, it does seem possible! Only Shura could command such respect from Iron Man and Captain America."
"Hahaha, so Shura is on our side? This mission just got a whole lot easier!"
"Yeah, this is going to be a cakewalk!"
"Easy it might be, but coasting through isn't an option, right? We all know how the system works—when everyone has the same mission, the best performer gets the highest rating."
"Alright, someone's coming. The system doesn't allow us to reveal anything about the Reincarnation Space, so zip it!"
…
Moments later.
Chen Ye and the others arrived at Tony's garage.
Tony looked around, "So, where's the gift?"
Black Widow and Captain America also looked at Chen Ye curiously.
Chen Ye smiled slightly, walking over to an Audi R8 sports car. He then took out the AllSpark.
"Zzz! Zzz!"
A current of electricity crackled as a mysterious energy surged into the R8.
Suddenly.
The lifeless sports car began to transform.
"Clank! Clank!"
In the blink of an eye, a towering mechanical being over five meters tall, imposing and majestic, appeared before their eyes.
Tony, Captain America, and Black Widow were instantly wide-eyed, utterly dumbfounded.
