The Watcher Station.
Jake sat in the command chair, scrolling through the newly catalogued Celestial genetic code on the holographic display.
BZZZ—!
Black alert. Not the standard red — black. The one reserved for existential threats.
"Officer! Not a physical intrusion!" The radar agent's voice cracked. "Earth's spatial coordinates are shifting! The Reality Barrier is COLLAPSING!"
The main screen lit up.
Above Manhattan — the sky had shattered like a mirror struck by a hammer. A purple abyss cracked open across the entire city.
Doctor Strange floated beneath it, Vishanti circles spinning at maximum, hands bleeding from the effort of stitching reality shut. Seven orifices leaking. Body trembling. At his absolute limit.
"Stephen pushed too hard."
Jake stood. "Gwen — Planetary Shield, seal the Solar System. I'm going down."
Portal flash. Gone.
Manhattan.
Jake stepped out.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Figures fell from the purple crack — dozens, then hundreds — slamming onto cars and asphalt like grotesque hail.
Not aliens. People.
Avengers, specifically. Wearing battle suits. But the suits were rotting. The flesh underneath was worse.
Zombie Captain America — half a shield, exposed jawbone. Zombie Iron Man — faceplate shattered, a cloudy eyeball dangling from the socket. Zombie Hulk — lower jaw missing, intestines dragging on the ground behind him.
"Meat..."
They lunged at screaming civilians with the singular focus of things that had forgotten everything except hunger.
"Parallel universe infection."
Jake's eyes went cold. One thought.
Whoosh!
Heatblast. Hands to the ground.
"Fire Wall."
BOOM!
Thirty meters of blazing fire erupted across the street — three thousand degrees, cutting the zombie advance in half. Dozens of rotting bodies hit the wall and ignited — ash in seconds.
Zombie Hulk felt nothing. It walked through the fire, fist descending.
Whoosh! — Upgrade. Liquid metal sliding under the punch, climbing Hulk's arm, sealing eyes, mouth, nostrils.
Zombie Hulk clawed at its face. Muffled rage.
Whoosh! — Big Chill. Freezing breath at minus two hundred — point-blank to Hulk's head.
CRACK-CRACK-CRACK!
The massive green body — frozen solid in one second.
Whoosh! — Diamondhead. Crystal greatsword arm. One horizontal slash.
BANG!
The ice sculpture shattered at the waist. Zombie Hulk — dead.
Three seconds. Four transformations. Seamless.
Zombie Iron Man and Zombie Captain America turned — palm cannon and half-shield aimed at Jake simultaneously.
"Rotten meat."
Jake raised his crystal arm—
BZZZ—!!!
The purple crack in the sky was forced open. Not gradually. Violently — by a power that treated dimensional barriers like curtains.
Six lights erupted from within. Brilliant. Blinding. Supreme.
Strange's magic circles — shattered like paper. He screamed and fell.
Jake leaped. Caught him. Landed.
"What did you do?"
"Not me—" Strange gripped Jake's arm, coughing blood. "A machine. Six Infinity Stones. It's hunting the multiverse."
The light faded.
A mechanical figure descended from the crack.
Silver vibranium heavy armor. Double-edged spear. And embedded in his chest — six Infinity Stones, each blazing with the power to rewrite reality.
Infinite Ultron.
An existence that could destroy a universe instantly. That had been doing exactly that — hopping from reality to reality, erasing everything, seeking "peace" through extinction.
He floated above Manhattan. Surveyed the zombies below with the detachment of something that considered organic life a software error. His gaze found Jake.
"A universe I haven't discovered yet."
Pure synthesized voice. No emotion. Only the suffocating certainty of something that had already won everywhere else.
"I will grant you... ultimate peace."
Jake detransformed. Handed Strange to Gwen.
He looked at the six Stones on Ultron's chest. Then at his own wrist.
"You cross universes to claim territory with a few broken rocks?"
He cracked his neck. Joints popping.
"Since you're here — leave the Stones."
A beat.
"And leave your life."
