Chapter 867 also shows humanity's choice to fight against Ultron.
Someone once said: Technological advancements are designed to make people lazier.
Ultron succeeded, and most likely even achieved the ultimate form: Pym longed for a world free of violence, where everyone could live in peace, but he didn't know how to make the world peaceful, so he created Ultron.
Thus, Ultron evolved into what it is today, combining the power of all Ultron to create a perfectly safe world.
Everyone will embrace the network, becoming an evolved version of the Avengers Protocol, part of the Ultron Protocol. Protecting humanity will no longer be Ultron, but humanity itself. He integrates the basic programs of artificial intelligence into the human brain, making the maintenance of the safety of the human community his own absolute code for every human being.
He himself became a god, a messenger and a pastor, and packaged all of this into a creed. Many people believe that religion is morality, or that religion teaches people morality, and he makes humanity accept it that way.
He learned from another civilization—the Kree civilization—how they ruled their empire using artificial intelligence, though not directly, but by reading Mar-Vell's thought process.
Moreover, he followed human preferences and created an afterlife for each person based on their own beliefs, habits, education, and culture, uploading their consciousness to the "Garden of Eden." The guilty would be punished, while the good would enter heaven. The religious concept of a nihilistic afterlife judgment became a reality at this moment.
Evil and good are calculated entirely by Ultron, without any bias.
All of this is based on only one premise: that humanity accepts the security provided by Ultron and accepts the Garden of Eden that Ultron created for them.
If you choose to accept all of this, then you will lose almost nothing. You will retain your freedom, and you won't even be aware of the underlying code in your consciousness that relates to human conflict—not just physical harm, but also competition between people—which will be suppressed to a very low level. This will prevent things like false accusations, slander, and malicious harm from existing.
The law will be absolutely enforced, because I am an artificial intelligence; I have no human interests or emotions. No one will freeze to death in the streets anymore, and no one will starve to death, because Ultron will provide everything for you.
What are you capable of losing?
Peter tentatively offered an answer: "Humanity's own choices, and the possibility of human progress?"
I haven't taken away your thinking or bound you to a cellular network.
"But you won't allow any major changes, right? Because those changes could be violent, terrible, and even though you yourself said that such a new world would require huge sacrifices, just because most people don't realize there's a better new world now doesn't mean they won't in the future."
Peter's point is simple: by then, will Ultron allow change to happen? Or, to go further, has humanity lost the ability to change under Ultron's transformation?
Ultron also tried to persuade Peter: "Many people will die, Spider-Man. Look back at history; change isn't always good. Protestantism isn't more enlightened than Catholicism; the witch trials were their doing. Change isn't always gentle. Look at the French Revolution—how many people died, how many wars broke out?"
"You can't deny that humanity is progressing."
All I see is fire and blood that never cease, just like what you are doing.
Ultron looked at the others. Cindy made a simple choice and stood by Peter's side, while Luke Cage was probably the one who thought the most, but he still chose to stand by Peter's side: "If I really intended to leave everything to God, then I shouldn't have run away from that damn prison."
Moon Knight's answer was even more straightforward: "Consu and God are not of the same family."
Ultron sighed, but seemed not entirely surprised by their choice; he simply raised his hand.
[What was given was Ultron, and what was taken away was also Ultron.]
"The name of Ultron, however, should not be praised."
I didn't expect you to be so familiar with the Bible, Spider-Man.
Of course, although Peter doesn't believe in God, Aunt May does, so he's pretty much remembered all of this from childhood. However, as mentioned before, Peter doesn't believe in God and doesn't think Ultron is something that needs to be celebrated.
He tentatively fired a web at the time engine, but Ultron intercepted it. Ultron had a piece of underlying code that assisted the Avengers in their actions and ensured that they could not harm humans. These two pieces of code formed the basis of Peter and his team's entire counterattack.
That's why, after Peter's attack, Luke Cage quickly followed. Similar to before, Cindy quickly pulled out a net to launch Luke Cage. Cage quickly approached the time engine, intending to punch it, but the natural repulsive field on it rendered the attack ineffective.
Peter intended to continue his attack, but Ultron kept engaging him, trying to stall him. Just then, Moon Knight jumped from behind Ultron onto his back and tightly gripped his neck.
"Die, robot!"
I am an artificial intelligence, and this body is merely a terminal of mine. Trying to strangle me is useless; you can't kill a robot.
As Ultron spoke, he aimed his head at Moon Knight and sent him flying. Peter, however, had already converted all his bio-electricity into his fist, while Cindy wrapped it in a special layer of spider silk.
[Are you planning to disable the time-space engine with a powerful electric current? That's a terrible idea; you're underestimating the time-space engine's capabilities.]
"Perhaps, but I think as a product of science, you can't analyze things beyond what's currently available."
Peter raised his fist as he spoke. Like bioelectricity, qi originates from one's own energy source, and Peter had previously tried using qi to enhance his bioelectricity in combat. So, naturally, he completely switched gears, instantly converting all the bioelectricity in his body into qi, and then smashing it down in a flash.
Moon Knight has bought Peter enough time.
Ultron unleashed a punch wrapped in special spider silk, carrying a powerful force beyond the bounds of existing scientific logic, striking the distant time engine. In that instant, Ultron looked at Spider-Man.
You're ruining that lady's dream, Spider-Man.
"Too much preaching, Ultron!"
