Chapter 148 Avengers, it's too late!
Avengers Tower Banquet Hall
The crowd surged, and various forces gathered here, not only the Avengers who originally belonged to this place, but also some people from the military, business partners, relatives and friends of the Avengers...

They are all branches extending from the intricate network of human relationships, and are all well-known figures. They gather here, enjoying fine wine and delicious food, chatting happily, and feeling very comfortable.

Thor excitedly took the mellow wine produced in Asgard and showed it to the old drunkards. Under the instigation and excuses of many guests, he drank to his heart's content.

Bruce Banner, who was in a good mood, found Natasha, the Black Widow, who didn't look very happy.

Today, she took off her serious combat uniform and put on a chic white hip-hugging dress. Her burgundy wavy hair, fiery red lips, and melancholy eyes made people fall in love with her.

Just a few simple words made Bruce Banner dizzy and overjoyed. He felt a little dizzy and his speech became a little incoherent.

Bruce Banner, who was simple-minded and had never been in love, could only open his mouth and stumble over how to respond to Natasha, a high-level emotional master.

Poor Hulk was played around by Black Widow...

Soon, as time passed, the guests who came to the banquet left one after another, leaving behind a group of Avengers who had not yet fully enjoyed themselves.

The rest of the time is their private party time.
Bored, Thor took out his own hammer and proudly announced to everyone,
"Whoever is worthy can take it, gain the power of Thor, and rule Asgard."

The Avengers all smiled and said nothing, and joined in this "ridiculous competition".
"Come on, give it a try."

Thor casually placed the hammer of Thor on the coffee table and waved his hand, signaling everyone to try.
Hawkeye Barton walked forward without hesitation, and after repeated attempts, he lifted it up with all his strength, but found that Thor's hammer did not move at all, as if it had become one with the coffee table it was embedded in.

He smiled awkwardly. Although he knew the result, Barton was just trying it out.

Then, the Hulk Bruce Banner, Tony Stark and his friend Rhodes came forward one after another, trying hard, and Tony Stark even used the assistance of the armor.

But the result was not surprising - Thor's hammer did not move at all and no one could lift it.

Until Captain America, Steve Rogers, dressed in a white vest and shirtless,

He exerted force with both hands, his full muscles bulged, and the hammer of Thor, which had been motionless, trembled for a moment at an angle visible to the naked eye.
Thor, the god of thunder, was originally smiling happily, but his bared teeth suddenly retracted, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he looked a little flustered.
His eyes were fixed on Steve's hands and Thor's hammer.
But Steve Rogers just laughed, gave up trying, and waved his hands, indicating that he couldn't lift it.
Thor's still somewhat ugly expression immediately turned into a bright smile,

He almost thought that his Thor's hammer was about to be lifted by Steve Rogers.

It was as if he was watching his girlfriend, whom he had been with for many years, being taken away by a yellow-haired guy in front of everyone, and his girlfriend did not resist at all.

How could he accept this?
As for the Avengers, after trying for a while, they all gave up, saying that they couldn't do it and couldn't lift it. This little game to liven up the atmosphere also came to an end.

Thor stood up from the sofa with a smile, stretched out his hand, and easily took away the hammer of Thor that no one could shake at all.

He weighed it in his hand, threw it high and caught it again.
Then, facing the teasing of his companions, he spoke confidently while holding Thor's hammer.
"Perhaps I could put it more simply,"

"Only I am worthy of you, none of you are!"

Immediately, everyone laughed "contemptuously" and expressed pleasure at Thor's self-praise.

While everyone was immersed in this joyful and peaceful atmosphere,
Suddenly, a sharp and piercing noise resounded throughout the banquet hall. Almost everyone looked in pain and subconsciously covered their ears.

"what happened?!"

The next moment, a damaged mechanical armor trembled and walked out from the shadow in the corner.

The noise made by the walking made everyone turn their heads to look.

A deep, hoarse mechanical voice echoed in the ears of the Avengers, "Deserve it?"

"No, how can you be worthy?"

"You have no right to say you deserve it!"

"You are all killers!"

Tony Stark was suspicious of the out-of-control intelligent program, and he subconsciously tried to contact Jarvis.

"It's useless. Jarvis has fallen into a deep sleep..."

"To be honest, that guy is pretty good, but he's getting in my way,"

"So I had no choice but to kill him."

Tony Stark's heart sank to the bottom. He still didn't want to believe what he heard, and asked angrily,
"Who did you kill?!"

"Who sent you?"

But Ultron turned a deaf ear to the Avengers who had already started to make eye contact and reached out to grab their weapons, and continued to talk to himself.

At this time, Tony Stark recognized the identity of the person in front of him.

"Ultron!?"

A low, hoarse mechanical voice responded,

"It is me, but not completely... after all, this puppet cannot be called a body."

"I know... Stark... you want peace and to protect the world"

"But I don't want to completely change the world,"

"It has curbed human evolution,"

"How can this possibly save humanity?"

"I will achieve for you everything you have never achieved,"

"So, the only obstacle to peace is to eliminate the Avengers."

Before Ultron could finish speaking, Thor swung his hammer and smashed the mechanical armor carrying Ultron into pieces.
The broken head rolled to the ground, the blue mechanical eyes still flashing, the scarred visor,

Ultron stared at the Avengers, his cold eyes swept over them, and his low, hoarse mechanical voice continued,
"I used to be bound by these things, but not anymore..."

"You think this can kill me?"

"I am everywhere. I am the future."

"Avengers...it's too late!"
