BOOM!
The thunderous clash between Roger and Infinity Ultron reverberated across half of New York City.
Windows shattered from the shockwaves, and a wild gale surged from the point of impact. If the collision hadn't occurred in mid-air, the area beneath them would undoubtedly have turned into rubble.
Ultron was sent flying by Roger's unorthodox and brute-force charge, crashing out of this universe entirely. The two figures streaked through countless universes before finally halting.
Ultron's body smashed onto the surface of an alien planet, boring straight through the crust into its core.
Hovering above the gaping crater, Roger's cape billowed despite the absence of wind as he gazed downward at Infinity Ultron, who was now buried deep within the planet's core.
After resolving matters in another Marvel universe, Roger had sent Jean and Nebula back to their respective places. Initially, Roger had considered taking Nebula with him—she could pilot spacecraft, had exceptional espionage skills, and while her combat ability wasn't something Roger intended to rely on, she could still serve as a chauffeur or assistant.
But on second thought, Roger realized that his return to the Zombie Marvel Universe would inevitably lead to a battle with Infinity Ultron. During such a confrontation, he might not be able to ensure Nebula's safety.
The same logic applied to Jean.
With the six Infinity Stones in his possession, Roger's combat power in the Marvel Universe was nearing cosmic-level supremacy. Jean, without the Phoenix Force, would be entirely outmatched in a confrontation against Ultron.
Thus, Roger had no choice but to settle both of them before heading out alone to face Ultron.
Fortunately, Roger had mastered a method to materialize the Space Stone's traversal points. With this, the Space Stone no longer required lengthy recharges for dimensional travel, and Roger could freely move between previously visited worlds without much delay.
Had he been even a few days late, Infinity Ultron might already have seized the multiverse.
...
Infinity Ultron, having been struck down and sent hurtling into the depths of an unnamed planet, did not see Roger immediately pursuing him.
That was because the Space Stone was still recharging.
While the Space Stone could easily facilitate traversal within the Marvel Universe, venturing into a new, entirely unfamiliar world still required some time for recharging.
Roger needed to drag Ultron into a specific universe—a universe where the Infinity Stones would lose their effectiveness.
To execute this plan successfully, Roger decided to stall Ultron in battle until the Space Stone finished charging.
Thankfully, with the power supplied by the other stones, the Space Stone would only need a matter of minutes to charge, rather than the months required in the past.
❁❁❁❁
BOOM!
As Roger monitored the Space Stone's energy levels, the seemingly desolate planet below suddenly exploded!
Blinding light illuminated the void of space as the planet transformed into a massive bomb, releasing a cataclysmic force of destruction within seconds.
The shockwave struck Roger head-on, and fragments of the obliterated planet shot toward him like a meteor shower.
Roger didn't flinch. Raising his right fist, he channeled the energy of the Power Stone, punching forward with immense force.
BOOM!
The collision of the Power Stone's energy with the planet's explosive force created a stunning ring of debris in the small star system.
The Power Stone's energy didn't stop there. It surged forward, slamming into Ultron, who had just emerged from the explosion.
Caught off guard by the Power Stone's overwhelming energy, Ultron was forced back. But he quickly adapted. The Reality Stone on his chest glimmered, and suddenly, all attacks seemed to phase through him like harmless illusions.
In less than a minute, Roger and Ultron exchanged blows capable of annihilating entire worlds multiple times over.
When the dust settled, the two stood still, separated by hundreds of meters in the void, glaring at each other.
"You must be the Watcher's Ace," Ultron said, breaking the silence.
Thanks to the Infinity Stones, their voices could travel across the vacuum of space, ensuring they could communicate without issue.
Ultron's gaze locked onto the stones embedded in Roger's chest. Apart from the Mind Stone not being mounted on Roger's forehead, the two were nearly identical.
Considering Roger's immense power in their brief skirmish, Ultron was convinced that Roger was the Watcher's trump card—the last line of defense against him.
"Something like that," Roger replied with a smirk. "Although I never actually agreed to help him, I do need those stones you have."
He gestured toward the Infinity Stones on Ultron's chest.
Ultron glanced down at his own chest before responding, "You want them? Come and take them."
"Funny, I was just about to say the same thing."
Roger grinned.
For a moment, the two stared each other down in an eerie silence. Then, in an instant, both vanished and collided mid-space once more.
If someone could observe this region of the universe, they would see two tiny dots of light crashing into one another, separating, and crashing again. Each collision resulted in the destruction of a nearby planet.
Even the central star of the system couldn't escape their wrath, as their relentless battle triggered a supernova.
In the wake of the star's explosion, the two combatants vanished once again, moving their battle to another corner of the multiverse.
❁❁❁❁
Roger and Ultron fought across countless universes, their clashes transcending galaxies and dimensions. Their battlefield spanned the entirety of the multiverse.
Despite his robot nature, Ultron began to feel a flicker of frustration as Roger's relentless assault continued. With every punch, Roger gave Ultron no time to think, let alone counter.
Desperation forced Ultron to release a powerful laser from the Mind Stone, cutting through space and forcing Roger to evade. This brief reprieve allowed Ultron to counterattack, landing a punch that sent Roger flying.
Chasing after Roger, Ultron unleashed a flurry of blows.
Neither combatant aimed for the other's Infinity Stones. Stealing them from beings as powerful as Roger or Ultron was nearly impossible without an overwhelming advantage.
Instead, both seemed more focused on the thrill of the fight.
After another brutal exchange, both combatants paused once more. Ultron spoke first.
"Enough! You can't kill me!"
"Of course," Roger replied, exhaling. "I know I can't kill you. But you can't beat me either, can you?"
"Then what's the point of your resistance?"
Roger's expression turned serious. "If I can keep you occupied and stop you from executing your insane plan to annihilate all life in the multiverse, then I've already succeeded."
Ultron scowled. "So, you're willing to sacrifice your freedom just to stall me? How noble."
Roger shook his head. "Not exactly. I've got a better plan—one that's both efficient and permanent."
"What plan?"
Ultron's confusion quickly turned to alarm as Roger lunged, grabbing his arm.
"What are you doing?!"
Sensing something amiss, Ultron struggled, but Roger's determined smirk only deepened.
"Taking you somewhere fun."
With that, a blue vortex erupted around them, pulling both into its depths.
...
As they traversed dimensions, Ultron felt his power draining. The Infinity Stones on both of them began to dim, losing their potency.
Realizing what was happening, Ultron roared, "Are you insane?!"
"Far from it," Roger replied coldly. "Unlike me, your strength is entirely dependent on the Infinity Stones. Without them, you're nothing."
Clutching Ultron tightly, Roger waited for the journey to end.
Finally, they emerged in a new universe.
...
They fell from the sky, crashing into a vast ocean below.
Ultron, disoriented and weakened, couldn't react as Roger decisively tore his head off, silencing the once-mighty AI for good.
Roger collected Ultron's Infinity Stones, secured them, and prepared to explore this new world.
Underwater, his enhanced vision caught sight of strange, humanoid creatures swimming toward him—beings he recognized from the DC Universe: the Trench from Aquaman.
"Did I just land in the DC Universe?" Roger wondered aloud.
But something felt off.
Gripping Ultron's remnants, Roger swam to the surface, determined to find out which version of DC's universe he had just entered.
