Chapter 279 The Evolutionary Stages of Doomsday
In its early stages, Ultron was intentionally designed by Ant-Man to have emotional needs similar to those of humans.
After all, Ant-Man's goal is to create a super AI that can evolve infinitely. Nobody wants this AI to be too rational and emotionless, to the point that it eventually develops into a point where it destroys humanity without any hindrance.
As it turns out, Ant-Man's approach was very effective. Ultron's destruction of humanity was not out of reason, but rather filled with twisted hatred for his father, Ant-Man, and the mission he had assigned him.
Was Ultron intended to be the ultimate solution to all of humanity's problems?
Wouldn't the problem disappear if we just eliminated all of humanity?
Ultron approached the extermination of humanity with passion and immense emotional drive from the very beginning.
"That's why I'm still alive. Ultron kept me alive so I could witness firsthand how he destroyed world after world."
The now unshaven Ant-Man has lost the charisma he once possessed as a top scientist. The creation of Ultron has essentially negated every achievement and good deed he has ever done in his life.
Ultron has gained the ability to travel through parallel universes, and he vents his anger on Earth and humanity in other universes, causing the sins of his creator, Dr. Pym, to grow exponentially.
Even in every universe, the only lifeline for all the survivors is Ant-Man, the one who knows Ultron the most.
Carrying the hopes of the survivors, Ant-Man organizes counterattacks time and time again in different universes, but without a doubt, they all end in failure.
Ultron, who has defeated countless superheroes such as the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four, knows them all too well.
Fighting such an enemy is like being in a card game with no chance of winning; no matter what card Ant-Man plays, Ultron always manages to play the perfect counter.
Thinking of this, Ant-Man, who had experienced countless failures and was on the verge of collapse, couldn't help but cover his face with his hands and sigh deeply:
"Sigh~ Sometimes I really wish I hadn't created a monster like Ultron."
The reason for this is that Ant-Man knows he is not the only one who has started research on AI, and that a super artificial intelligence that can hold the fate of all humanity in its hands will inevitably be born.
But Dr. Pym was the smartest of them all, and he completed Ultron before any of them.
Yes, it's true—in some universes where Iron Man isn't such a bastard, Ultron was created by Tony Stark.
"Infinite parallel universes, anything is possible."
Joey couldn't say it outright, but no matter how much Ant-Man fantasized, it was undeniable that Ultron, which he created, was indeed the most destructive artificial intelligence in the history of the Marvel multiverse, without exception.
After hearing the keyword "Ultron," Zhang Parker's self-doubt lessened considerably.
"So, we're gradually getting closer to the correct universe?"
He said, "It can't be like Superman said, where he's not good enough and always picks the wrong answer, right?"
Just as he was about to make excuses for the failed teleportations, his spider senses triggered unexpectedly and with extremely high intensity, like a sharp thorn stuck in his temple, giving him a splitting headache.
"Danger!"
"I know."
With his keen eyes and ears, Joey had already spotted the humanoid creature traveling at nearly Mach 30 the moment it appeared on Earth.
The newcomer was wearing a Kryptonian metal suit, his face covered by a mask and unrecognizable. However, a line of Kryptonian text was still etched on the shoulder of the suit: "Sword of Raoh," Nitrogen Warriors Guild number 1555.
This familiar number belongs to Kara Zo El.
Completely clueless, Joey never expected that the Kryptonian pursuer she had anticipated would be her.
Is Krypton serious?
Joey had helped Kara fight her way out of the Green Lantern Corps' encirclement, which could be considered saving her life. Whether Kara had the motivation to take it seriously is another matter, but what use is such a defeated opponent?
Kara sprinted towards Joey, and just as Joey tensed, wary that she might actually start a fight and launch another surprise flying elbow strike that would send him flying, Kara finally stopped abruptly two meters away.
"It should be safe now."
Joey gestured to Zhang Parker, who was covering his head, "This guy isn't an enemy yet."
"Are you sure?" Zhang Parker's spider senses were ringing louder and louder like an alarm clock in the morning. He couldn't even distinguish the specific source or direction of the danger. He only felt like he was being ambushed from all sides.
Joey thought that perhaps, just like in the previous world, his biofield was distorted when he came into contact with Kryptonian creatures, causing discomfort to Parker, the theoretical Spider-Man. "Let's try to overcome this first; it might be my fault."
After removing her mask, Kara's eyes swept over Joey's entire body, and unsurprisingly, she also noticed that her son, Jor-El, had an unusual biofield:
"Don't tell me you've triggered this many times already."
"To greet someone like a psychopath who scans their entire body with super vision, that's a really good way to say hello."
Ever since his successful surprise attack, Joey has discovered that Kara is the type with high attack but low defense.
She usually dares to utter the most outrageous and raunchy words, but if someone uses the same method against her, she can't take it.
"This isn't the time to make dirty jokes, come here!"
Kara pulled a sharp, triangular, spiked object from her waist, as if to stab Joey in the waist:
"Let me give you a check-up!"
"Are you crazy?!"
Upon seeing this, Joey quickly twisted his waist to dodge the stab:
"A physical examination? You're the one making that dirty joke! Besides, what kind of physical examination equipment on Krypton looks like a murder weapon?!"
The object, with its three gleaming, purple-glowing edges and blade twisted into several blood grooves, looked to Joey like a weapon similar to a triangular military dagger.
If he gets poked like that, wouldn't half of his kidney be ripped off by that crazy woman Kara?
Kara had her reasons: "Don't think of that as something good—you're losing control!"
With outsiders present, she couldn't be too explicit: "You're rapidly evolving to the final stage. Do you understand the consequences?"
Jor-El's secret experiments caused quite a stir in the upper echelons of Krypton. As a member of the El family, her father was a scientist like Jor-El.
This made Kara even more aware of most of the inside story of the accusation.
No one expected that Karl El's father would be so crazy as to use his own son's body for illegal genetic experiments.
Moreover, the genetic fragments involved are absolutely taboo in Krypton's database, belonging to a super-creature that once existed on Krypton in ancient times, named "Doomsday".
Those who kill me only make me stronger—this is a true reflection of the nature of the monster lurking within Karl El.
Being unable to be completely killed, evolving infinitely through repeated deaths, and achieving immortality sounds wonderful, but the final outcome may become somewhat distorted.
Because the core mechanism of Doomsday is not immortality, but simply maintaining its existence forever.
Just like some AI experiments, a simple goal, besides the complex and difficult normal solutions, is often transformed by AI.
Find an optimal solution that requires less time and effort.
Rather than evolving into an indestructible state to sustain its existence, Doomsday's DNA has a simpler way to ensure its maximum probability of survival.
"Regular medical equipment can't take your sample, so let me prick you!"
Having received information through special channels independent of the Kryptonian military group, Kara was now extremely eager to use her killing machine to bleed Joey dry.
"I need to know what stage of evolution you've reached!"
