With the addition of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, the Avengers finally managed to contain the extent of the explosion's impact.
However, this didn't bring them any sense of joy, as until the last moment, Natasha hadn't managed to escape from the laboratory.
Following Dr. Banner, the Avengers Alliance lost another member in this confrontation with artificial intelligence.
Moreover, in this operation, all the Transformers dispatched by Mark were nearly wiped out, and even the number of micro magnetic-axis robots was scarce in this battle.
It could be said that while they achieved their intended goal in this operation, the tremendous loss of combat power left them at a definite disadvantage in the upcoming confrontation with Max.
"Don't be so pessimistic, everyone. Based on my understanding of the Extremis Virus and the self-healing capabilities of individuals who have undergone this modification, there's a good chance Natasha is still alive.
We just couldn't conduct a thorough search on-site due to the threat posed by the numerous mechanical clones in Seoul.
If she's trapped in the rubble after the explosion, Max's mechanical clones will undoubtedly find her and use her as a chip in our confrontation.
Hawkeye, see if Natasha left any information for you in a more old-fashioned spy manner, beyond the reach of the internet."
Mark was the first to speak, breaking the silence in the meeting room. He believed Natasha wouldn't simply go down without a fight, and right now their team needed a glimmer of hope to boost morale.
"Understood, I can give it a try. If she's still alive, I'll find her for sure!" Upon hearing the news that Natasha might still be alive, Hawkeye immediately stood up, his excitement evident. He left the meeting room to follow through on the task.
"So, should we discuss how to deal with the Vibranium body that Dr. Helen helped Max create, or talk about how we'll handle and ultimately defeat the enemy next?
If Natasha has really fallen into Max's hands, it will definitely use her as leverage to force us to hand over what it needs for its final upgrade."
"Tony, and what's your opinion, Mark?
Among all of us here, you two are the most knowledgeable about artificial intelligence and mechanical technology, not to mention that from the original Ultron to the current Max, you both have been the designers.
I'm not saying this to mock anyone; I just believe your insights will play a crucial role in achieving victory in this war."
Captain didn't provide his answer, instead turning his gaze to Tony and the father-son duo, hoping they could offer professional advice.
"If you ask for my and my old man's opinion, we believe we should make the best use of the Vibranium body that Max created and enhance our side's combat strength, preparing for the next war.
But there is also a difference of opinion between us. I hope to dismantle the Vibranium body. By using my invented nanomechanical insects, I can extract the Vibranium material from it, which is enough to form nanoscale Vibranium battle suits for each of us.
With the Vibranium battle suits, as long as we have sufficient energy, even the vast mechanical army won't pose a threat to us.
And the extracted stone can become super data centers for Baymax and J.A.R.V.I.S.
This way, our power on the internet will overwhelm Max, preventing it from transferring its consciousness in such a way. Only then will we have a chance to truly eliminate it."
After listening to Mark's speech, Captain looked at Tony again, asking, "And you, Tony? What's your idea?"
"I think to defeat a powerful artificial intelligence, we need to create an even more powerful artificial intelligence. Do you all remember before Max assimilated Ultron, Ultron told us that it had killed J.A.R.V.I.S.?
Ultron wasn't attacking J.A.R.V.I.S. out of anger; it was attacking out of fear of J.A.R.V.I.S.' capabilities.
Fortunately, J.A.R.V.I.S. went into hiding, dispersing throughout the internet, retaining its basic protocols, until Baymax reassembled it.
Since Ultron was so afraid of J.A.R.V.I.S.' abilities, then Max, which assimilated Ultron's data code, it should share the same weakness.
My plan is to upload J.A.R.V.I.S.' consciousness into the Vibranium body prepared for Max, making it the key to defeating Max.
Think about it, even before becoming an intelligent life form, J.A.R.V.I.S. posed a threat to Ultron.
This is an opportunity; we can create a truly perfect Ultron that won't desire to destroy the world and exterminate humanity. I believe it's definitely worth a try."
"No, I strongly oppose your plan. Haven't the lessons left by Ultron and Max taught us enough?"
After Tony presented his plan, Captain was the first to stand up and express his opposition. ...
"It's because we knew this would be the eventual outcome, that's why Dr. Banner and I conducted the Ultron experiment behind your backs.
You're too conservative, completely unable to see the value of technology and understand the direction of humanity's future.
This is the tide of the times, and it can't be stopped by just one or two people's objections. You still haven't realized this."
Tony still stuck to his idea, believing that with his long-term partnership with J.A.R.V.I.S., this plan could be successful.
"I also express opposition. Regardless of which of your proposals, I won't agree.
You just mentioned it yourself: Ultron wanted to destroy the world and exterminate humanity. And I witnessed firsthand what Max aims to achieve. It wants to turn all of humanity into its computational tools.
Their thought processes have completely deviated from your initial design principles and purposes. This already demonstrates the issue. Do you know from whom artificial intelligence inherits its ideas?
The Infinity Mind Project, the Sibyl System, and Max's chilling plans—all of them drew inspiration from the data in your laboratory, Mark. This makes it difficult for me to believe in the proposals you're putting forward.
Who knows what terrifying consequences might arise if the new artificial intelligence were to gain the power of the Stone?"
Following Captain's lead, Scarlet Witch also stepped forward to oppose the proposals from the two, providing substantial reasons. This began to sway Quicksilver, Captain, and Falcon in their thinking.
"Hey, are you letting this witch who controls your minds also control your thoughts?" Tony retorted excitedly.
If they were to ultimately veto both of their proposed plans, it could indeed mitigate certain risks that no one would want to encounter. However, how would they then confront the threat posed by Max?
Just as the group was once again caught in silence and indecision, a burst of lightning and thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and at this critical moment, one of the mightiest Avengers, Thor, returned...
