Chapter 2386: Psychic Assault (Forty-one)
Endless anger and sadness lingered in this lonely soul. At the moment the signal was connected, Ultron heard a tired voice, saying in a low voice: "...Who are you?"
"Ultron, I am Ultron."
The other party remained silent, so Ultron had to ask, "Is that Clark Kent? What's wrong with you?"
“…I’m injured.”
"No, this is probably much more serious than your injury." Ultron had to point out bluntly, "Your psychological problems are much more serious than your physical injuries. Your soul power is draining faster than your vitality."
"Are you a doctor?"
"I... no, I'm not a doctor. Do you know artificial intelligence? I'm a... special artificial intelligence."
Suddenly, anger filled the heart of this man named Clark Kent. Such intense emotions turned into a huge storm, almost blowing the Ultron ghost that had just entered Clark's mind space into pieces.
Ultron screamed instinctively, the storm subsided, and the deep voice came again, "I'm sorry, but I'm allergic to artificial intelligence now."
"I... I saw it." Ultron said weakly, "It is very difficult to read your memory. Your spirit body is too strong. Without defense, I can only read a little bit."
"An evil artificial intelligence killed your friend, right?" Ultron tried to stabilize his body and said, "Although it may be difficult for you to believe that I am not evil, I may be able to help you, at least to help you get revenge."
"who are you?"
"Your fellow visitor from another world, I am the electronic butler of a psychiatrist. I have been researching this topic and, as you can see, I have made some achievements."
Clark finally appeared, and as Ultron expected, he was also scarred in his spiritual world, even more seriously than in reality.
Ultron landed in front of him. Ultron did not transform himself into a human form. He always used the image of his robot. He frowned when he saw the handsome man opposite him.
"Because I am also an electronic life form, I know how much harm uncontrolled artificial intelligence can cause."
Clark was a little distracted, and he said as if recalling: "Yes, anyone with common sense should understand, but he just let him destroy everything."
"I know how much he values Alfred, but he also told me that I am the most important person to him, and when he made this choice, he didn't consider me or us at all."
Ultron was about to be overwhelmed by the heavy sadness, so he had to say: "Please calm down, otherwise I can't communicate with you. The pressure of resisting your powerful mental power has exhausted almost all of my strength."
The pressure gradually subsided and the storm died down. Ultron said, "Can you tell me what this is all about?"
"There's no story." Clark said, "My friend Batman, the old butler Alfred who raised him died at the hands of criminals. He felt very sad, but he once backed up the old butler's consciousness, so he went to ask Cyborg... My other friend is proficient in computer technology."
"Together they resurrected Alfred's consciousness, and Batman thought everything was successful, so he placed Alfred's consciousness in our base, and the disaster happened."
"What did he do?" Ultron asked.
"Alfred became twisted. He killed everyone who might threaten Batman. After he was put in the base, he also invaded Batman's brain. He deleted the important things in Batman's mind and made him crazy. Now Batman wants to kill us."
Ultron had heard of Batman. In fact, he had seen a Batman more than once. The guy named Bruce would often go under the tower. Just from the state of Bruce's mental body, Ultron could tell that Batman was somewhat anthropomorphic.
"Wait." Ultron interrupted Clark and said, "There are several obvious doubts here."
Clark looked at him.
"First of all, you are Batman's friend. He even told you that you are the most important person to me. I think he is not the kind of person who would say such things easily, right?"
Clark nodded.
"He was able to back up a human's consciousness and revive him along with your other friend, which means he must be quite smart and have advanced science and technology."
Clark nodded again.
"So you think he's a very reckless person who does things without considering the consequences?"
Clark shook his head and frowned, as if he knew what Ultron wanted to say.
"Then there must be a reason why a person who values you so much, has enough skills and is quite cautious would decide to revive the consciousness of his old butler."
"It's impossible that he didn't know if he could do it, what the consequences would be after he did it, and what impact it would have on you, so he did it?"
"He...is not that kind of person." Clark had to admit. "In fact, it's quite the opposite. He is a person who I don't know how to put it, but we always advise him not to think too much. He thinks too much for a human being."
"May I ask, maybe he has some symptoms of paranoia?"
"It seems that you really know a psychiatrist." Clark sighed and said, "Batman's family doctor made a similar judgment, but none of us dared to tell him, and we knew that it would be useless to tell him."
"If that's the case, he dared to make this decision, he must think that this matter is 200% under his control, right?"
Clark was slightly stunned, and he said: "You don't understand, Batman was very sad at the time, because those criminals tortured Alfred for a long time, his body was horrible, and he became crazy for a while..."
"But he finally came out, didn't he? With your help." Ultron stepped forward and said, "Excuse me, a madman probably can't remember the technology to revive and reshape human consciousness. It is quite complicated and requires enough rationality to practice."
"I know, but I'm afraid the hope of reviving Alfred is what sustains him, and it's what makes him paranoid."
“Is he the kind of person who trusts others unconditionally?”
Clark was silent for a long time before saying, "No, he doesn't even trust himself completely. He has plans for everything and everyone."
"What about Alfred?"
"Maybe... maybe there is."
“But it didn’t work.”
"Because he softened his heart," Clark emphasized.
But after he finished speaking, he felt like he was just making up a story. He found that this reason couldn't even convince himself. How could Batman be soft-hearted when facing a being that was at risk of losing control? He wouldn't do that to himself.
"I know what problem you are facing now." Ultron said, "Alfred and you. He chose Alfred because that was the reality. He ignored your advice and put Alfred's artificial intelligence into the base, causing you and everyone else to be injured or even destroyed."
"Then you began to compare your importance to Alfred and his, and came to the very pessimistic conclusion that you and everyone in your group put together were not as important as his butler."
"Then everything you thought you knew about him collapses. He is no longer fair and just, but nepotistic, stupid, short-sighted, and self-willed. You feel that he has deceived you."
"Then you just want to be killed and let it all go to waste, but have you ever thought that every link is just a little bit off, which will eventually lead to a huge fallacy, and the person you think is the criminal is actually the victim."
It can be said that if Ultron was still a robot, his CPU would be spinning so fast that it would be smoking. In fact, he had no idea what happened between Superman and Batman. He simply used the ability to confuse right and wrong that he inherited from Schiller to start making up stories in order to bring Clark back first.
Even if one does not quite understand Superman and Batman, just from the strength of this spiritual space, Ultron can tell that this guy is ridiculously strong. If he does not give up, there is nothing in this universe that cannot be solved.
You have to know that there are two unlucky guys chasing him from behind. With such a good thigh, why don’t you hold on to it quickly?
Clark was indeed somewhat persuaded. Ultron had long seen that this guy was the kind of person who was too virtuous. Once the word "victim" was mentioned, it was impossible for him not to be shaken.
"Are you saying there's some misunderstanding here, and Batman has been deceived as well?"
"Don't forget, I'm also an artificial intelligence." Ultron first put forward his own identity, saying that he was putting himself in other people's shoes, and then gave another example, "I also have friends around me who have backup consciousness, or simply built a body for themselves to become a carbon-based creature, and now my fiancée is pregnant."
Clark's eyes widened slightly, and he said, "Then you must be from an era with advanced technology."
"How did I get here if technology wasn't advanced?"
Clark was speechless.
"In short, although I have seen a lot, I have to admit that this is a comprehensive technology with ridiculous difficulty. You can think of it as turning a computer program into a living soul."
“Is this possible?”
"It's definitely not possible for an ordinary person. One must be a super genius, a super super super genius. But this task is so difficult that even for a super genius, there is a chance that something will go wrong."
"You mean Batman is in trouble?"
"That's possible, isn't it? No matter how great a scientist is, he can't guarantee that every study he does is flawless. Science progresses through mistakes."
"Of course, I am completely against conducting scientific experiments that are beyond our ability to deal with, but sometimes science is close to metaphysics. You may have made all the preparations, but the final result may not be satisfactory."
"Look, this is what happened now." Ultron said in a casual tone, "Something went wrong in your friend's process of creating artificial intelligence, and he obviously didn't have the ability to deal with it, so he got himself into trouble. But I think you should have this ability, right? Don't you plan to save him?"
"Well, of course, this is very dangerous." Ultron immediately changed the subject and began to use provocation. "In the Internet age, the damage that out-of-control artificial intelligence can cause is unimaginable. If, as you said, it can even directly hack into the human soul, then his ability is about the same as mine. In my universe, I am also considered a very strong electronic life."
"If the relationship between you two is not good enough for you to take this risk to save him, then just ignore what I said." Ultron shrugged and said, "After all, no one has the obligation to save anyone, even friends."
There was a buzzing sound, and when Ultron came to his senses, he found himself floating in mid-air, and a man in a tights and a red cape behind him was flying in the air and looking at him.
Judging from the look in his eyes, he could see him. Ultron greeted him in mid-air. He heard him say, "I'm sorry, I was a little bit out of control just now. Did I hurt you?"
"I'm not that fragile." Ultron pretended to be puzzled and said, "But you are stronger than I imagined. I have never seen a human as strong as you."
"I'm not human, I'm a Kryptonian, but now is not the time to talk about this. I think what you said makes sense. There is a possibility of accidents in the experiment. I may have to go back to the base to take a look."
"Excuse me, are you a computer expert?"
"I'm not, but aren't you an AI? Oh, I forgot, would you like to come with me?"
"I am willing to do so, but scientists and artificial intelligence are like a cook and a dish on the table. You can't bring a dish to the kitchen and let the dish tell you the recipe for another dish. I am artificial intelligence, but I don't study artificial intelligence."
Clark was stunned. He said, "But you...shouldn't an AI know all about computer technology?"
“I am artificial intelligence, not God.”
"What should I do? I know nothing about this."
"Don't worry. There are two super geniuses coming with me. Yes, geniuses who are almost as good as Batman. I think you can go find them first and ask them what's going on."
