"Kid, believe me, this is just your imagination."
Loki couldn't help but glance at Peter Parker with displeasure, and said to him seriously, "That female Loki is just a coward who uses underhanded methods."
Whether it was due to his arrogance or genuine belief, Loki dismissed the female Loki's mind-controlling techniques as worthless.
"Is that so, Loki?"
Tony Stark was unconvinced. "Then tell me, who will be the victor in this confrontation between you and the female Loki? Will you be able to capture her?"
Tony Stark's question was one that everyone was quite interested in.
Loki and the female Loki were now standing face to face, so what would happen next?
Would Loki defeat the female Loki, or would the female Loki defeat Loki?
Either outcome would be something everyone would love to see.
"Although Loki's strength is still somewhat inferior to mine, he is still my brother, Odin's son. A guy who only knows how to manipulate people's minds is no match for Loki!" Thor had a strange confidence in his brother.
"Well,"
Loki smiled, "the outcome of this question is really hard to say, because this operation to capture Female Loki is clearly something I did using the Time Management Bureau."
"On the surface, the Time Management Bureau used me to capture Female Loki, but no one can use me. In fact, I deliberately used the Time Management Bureau to achieve my own goals."
"So whether I came to capture Female Loki or not, we cannot be sure."
Given Loki's personality, what he said was indeed possible; he didn't seem like the type to obediently cooperate with the Time Management Bureau.
However, the specifics remained unknown.

[D. Black Widow]
[Friendly Reminder: Those who answer correctly will be rewarded with ten years of lifespan;

The system notification sounded again shortly after the discussion, interrupting their conversation.
A new question had appeared.
This question greatly excited all the group members except for Sersi and Loki, who were unaware of the situation.
Infinite Ultron had always been a huge burden on everyone's minds, even more so than Thanos. After all,
even though Thanos was powerful, he was still a powerful figure confined to one universe, while Infinite Ultron transcended a single universe, traversing the multiverse!
Even now, with the questions posed, everyone had prepared numerous backup plans to deal with Thanos. Although they hadn't officially started their operation yet, their confidence was not small.
Strictly speaking, Thanos was no longer a significant threat.
Despite their uncertainty about Infinite Ultron, everyone remained quite uncertain.
This question would demonstrate how to defeat Infinite Ultron!
"Infinite Ultron? What kind of thing is that? And what about the Multiverse Guardians?" This time, it wasn't Sersi who asked, but Loki.
"I don't need to explain the existence of the multiverse anymore, do I? Now we can confirm that the multiverse does exist..."
The ever-helpful Captain America briefly explained the relevant questions to Loki and Sersi.
While both understood, they couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
From the Spider-Man questions, they learned that the dimensional barriers between multiverses could be broken, and that people could travel between multiverses, but they never expected there to be an entity that specifically slaughters across the multiverse.
"Okay, everyone, there's no need to discuss this question anymore, right? The person who can kill Infinite Ultron is definitely me!"
Thor's voice rang out. He looked at the large screen in front of everyone and said decisively, "Only I have that kind of power."
"So Thor, are you saying you smashed Infinite Ultron with your hammer?" Tony Stark retorted with a disdainful look, "Do you think any of us will believe that?"
The others indeed looked at Thor with skepticism.
"Thor, it's not that we underestimate you, but Infinite Ultron has a vibranium body and six Infinity Stones. It's probably difficult to defeat him with just a hammer." Captain America also said.
On this issue, he was not very optimistic about Thor either.
"You underestimate me too much. So what if he has a vibranium body? There's nothing in the world that I can't break. Who am I? I am..."
"You are the son of Odin, the prince of Asgard, we all know that." Peter Parker interrupted Thor's words, slightly helpless.
"Vibranium? Isn't that the hardest metal in the world? Since Ultron possesses such a body and has Infinity Stones, frankly, I think he's practically unkillable! Based on the options listed, I don't think they're a match for Infinite Ultron," Sersi said.
"Like Mr. Stark said, we can't simply judge based on a power comparison. However, the key issue is that we don't know the details of that battle, so if I had to choose, I think the corrupted Doctor Strange is the most likely," Peter Parker offered his opinion. "We've all witnessed his power; he destroyed an entire universe! Mr. Thor, even you have to admit that the corrupted Doctor Strange is stronger than you, right?" Even
if Thor is strong, he couldn't possibly destroy an entire universe, could he?
Even someone as arrogant as Thor wouldn't dare make such a boast in front of everyone, because it's simply too absurd.
"Peter, I don't deny the power of the corrupted Doctor Strange, but don't forget, he also devoured Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme. So, it's not that strange," Thor said.
He still managed to find a plausible reason for himself.
"This corrupted Doctor Strange actually destroyed an entire universe?" Loki's face showed a slight look of surprise, and he nodded. "If that's the case, I also think he's the most likely culprit."
Neither Sersi nor Captain America offered any objections.
While it's impossible to make a simple, crude comparison of strength without knowing the details of the battle, the power of the corrupted Doctor Strange is simply outrageously strong, capable of collapsing an entire universe.
In this situation, everyone naturally leans towards choosing the corrupted Doctor Strange.
Even characters like Captain Carter and Black Widow are largely disregarded; what use could they possibly be against a being of Ultron's caliber?
He could probably take them down with a wave of his hand.
"Gentlemen, this question reminds me of another question we answered a long time ago," Tony Stark said after a moment of silence.
His words immediately piqued everyone's interest.
Before anyone could ask, Thor spoke up, "Do you remember the question about who killed Ultron?"
Killed Ultron!
Reminded by Tony Stark, the eyes of the older attendees who had answered similar questions lit up.
They remembered; there had indeed been such a question before, and even Thor himself had been among the options.
It had to be said, that question and this one were remarkably similar.
"When we analyzed it back then, we concluded that killing Ultron actually falls into two categories: first, destroying Ultron's body; second, destroying Ultron's program!"
"Both of these scenarios can be considered killing Ultron, and I think the same principle applies to Infinite Ultron."
"Of course, the first scenario is much more complex because Infinite Ultron should also possess Ultron's abilities, able to randomly migrate its program across the network. This means that to kill Infinite Ultron by destroying its body, we need to first disrupt Infinite Ultron's network connection!"
"Otherwise, we're only killing an 'avatar' of Infinite Ultron."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Tony Stark began to speak eloquently, methodically explaining his points.
With Tony Stark's reminders, those who had participated in the quiz remembered the relevant content, and Loki and Sersi nodded frequently.
Tony Stark's analysis was quite reasonable.
"The one who destroyed the Ultron Network back then was Vision, but now? Vision himself has become Ultron! And among the options… who can do this?"
Captain America glanced at the "candidates" and said.
Thor is an alien, Doctor Strange is a doctor and sorcerer, Captain Carter is from the "old era," and Black Widow is an elite agent.
None of these people seem capable of destroying the Infinite Ultron Network, because that requires technology far beyond its current era.
Perhaps only someone like Tony Stark would possess that.
Besides, a powerful computing center capable of defeating the Ultron Matrix would be needed; in short, both hardware and software must be up to par.
Based on the question, no one seems to think they can do it; the difficulty is simply too great, especially since none of the options are professionals in the relevant field.
But if that's the case, then a question arises.
If the options can't destroy the Ultron Network, can they at least do the second scenario—directly destroy the Ultron program?
That sounds even harder than destroying the Ultron Network!
The requirements for professional skills are even higher!
This question has temporarily stalled.
"Ultron's program can be migrated, but the Infinity Stones can't, right?" After some thought, Loki offered a new perspective, "So, can we understand that... Infinite Ultron wouldn't abandon his body containing the Infinity Stones? So, should our thinking change accordingly?"
Everyone present thought about it and realized it made perfect sense.
If Infinite Ultron's program were migrated, it would be equivalent to abandoning the six Infinity Stones, leaving them to the enemy.
And once the enemy possesses the six Infinity Stones, Infinite Ultron would be doomed!
Even if he could migrate via the network, he would still die, because the Infinity Stones can do anything, even the Reality Stone alone.
It can directly modify reality.
From this perspective, Infinite Ultron indeed shouldn't abandon his body for any migration, even if his life is threatened, until he dies in battle.
So, the analysis of this question can be divided into two new scenarios: first, Ultron's body is directly destroyed; second, Ultron's program is directly destroyed.
If that's the case, the difficulty is reduced slightly.
"Well, destroying Ultron's program is probably unlikely," Peter Parker remarked. "Ultron was killed by someone, who stole the Infinity Stones and destroyed his body, right?"
"While that seems incredibly difficult, it's still more probable than destroying Ultron's program," Captain America agreed. No
one else present objected, and they tentatively accepted that Ultron's death involved someone stealing the Infinity Stones and destroying his body.
If that was the case, then the answer naturally fell to the corrupted Doctor Strange. There was
no way around it; the corrupted Doctor Strange was simply too powerful, and it would be unjust not to choose him.
The answer to this question was thus decided.
As for who would answer?
"Ten years of lifespan? I don't really need that reward; my lifespan has already been extended," Tony Stark shrugged, indicating his refusal.
The Zhang family's Qilin bloodline not only made him a superhuman but also allowed him to easily live to be over a hundred years old.
Tony Stark naturally wouldn't care about a mere ten years of lifespan.
And Thor, Loki, and Sersi are even less of a concern; they've all lived for millennia, especially Sersi, who's several thousand!
Ten years?
That's just a fraction of it.
Captain America is currently a "centenarian," and similarly not very interested in ten years.
Therefore, the spot to answer this question naturally falls to Peter Parker.
