The glowing humanoid's impact was immense.
When she crashed into Kevin, he had already done his best to embrace the glowing object flying towards him, trying to stop her, but in the end, her impact still carried him sliding nearly a thousand meters across the ground.
Kevin himself also rolled on the ground, finally stopping after a long time.
The two separated during the rolling process, Kevin let go of her midway, landing in the middle of the gully that had been carved out.
The glowing object, on the other hand, crashed into a dark red rock, completely shattering it, before finally stopping its momentum.
The red rock buried the rushing humanoid, but the next moment, the humanoid shattered the rock and flew into the air again, forming that shimmering, glowing humanoid shape.
Kevin finally saw the humanoid's appearance.
Long golden hair, white skin, and a heroic uniform modified from a Kree Empire military uniform.
She was Captain Marvel Carol.
Carol flew out of the rock pile, hovering in the air and looking at the distant sky, where a red Ultron was suspended.
Carol's gaze lingered on Ultron, then, completely disregarding Kevin whom she had just sent flying, her body glowed brightly, and she charged towards Ultron in the sky again.
Kevin climbed up from the ground, brushed off the dirt clinging to him, and looked up at the sky where Carol and Ultron were battling.
Carol, who had charged over, tried to grab Ultron.
But Ultron's body instantly became illusory, Carol failed to grab him, instead passing through Ultron's body.
From one side, she came to the other.
As soon as she emerged from Ultron's body, Ultron solidified from his ethereal state and grabbed one of Carol's feet with a single hand.
He continued to exert force, attempting to mimic the previous maneuver to throw Carol away, but the same trick seemed to have no effect on Carol.
As soon as Ultron let go, Carol released energy from beneath her feet, using the recoil from the energy release to stop herself in mid-air.
And before Ultron could react at all, she swung her glowing right fist, heavily striking his metal face.
Ultron couldn't dodge this blow; his body had no time to become ethereal before Carol's punch struck him squarely.
The next moment, the red figure fell from the sky, just like Carol before, flying backward and crashing into the ground.
"…Women really hold grudges, huh?"
Watching this scene in the sky, Kevin muttered to himself, but had no intention of immediately joining the battle.
The Guardians of the Galaxy had already joined forces with the Avengers, and Thor charged into Ultron's robot army, unleashing a powerful attack, one hammer blow at a time.
It seemed he intended to deal with the smaller enemies first, then join everyone to confront Ultron.
It's just that Ultron has the mind stone, and now he also has the soul stone, so it's uncertain if the Avengers plus the Guardians of the Galaxy can defeat him.
Kevin had confidence in the combat power of these two teams, but the mind stone and the soul stone could both target the most difficult places for living beings to defend.
What if Ultron mastered the use of the soul stone and made everyone's souls leave their bodies…
Among those present, probably only Carol, who had been transformed by the Space Stone's energy, Kevin, who held the Reality Stone, and Scarlet Witch, whose abilities were activated by the mind stone, could defend against this move.
Anyone else who was hit by this move would at least lose their combat ability.
Even without using the soul stone, if Ultron mastered the use of the mind stone, he could very likely turn the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy against Kevin.
"Can only Carol and I deal with him?"
Kevin's gaze turned back to Ultron and Carol in the sky.
Their battle was evenly matched; most of Ultron's abilities had no effect on Carol, and Carol couldn't deal with Ultron's intangibility.
At least her energy attacks couldn't hit the intangible Ultron.
After acquiring the soul stone, Ultron seemed to be able to even pass through energy attacks.
Even if Kevin joined in, the outcome would only change from a stalemate between two to a stalemate among three, so… Kevin needed to prepare first before helping Carol.
"There's no water nearby, is there? Hmm… it seems I'll have to create it myself."
Originally, Kevin wanted to control the nearby water sources to assist him in attacking Ultron above.
But after sensing for a moment, he found there was no water here at all.
However, this wasn't a big problem; if there was no water, he would create it himself. The power of the Reality Stone activated again, and suddenly the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a frantic wind swept across the entire battlefield.
This was a prelude to a storm.
Directly creating water would be too much of a burden on the Reality Stone, but he could directly create rain clouds and control the rainwater produced by the rain clouds for attack.
The sudden change in weather caused everyone fighting below, including Carol and Ultron, who were having a great time exchanging blows above, to briefly stop and look up at the sky.
Watching the rain clouds covering him, Ultron realized something and looked down.
Almost instantly, Ultron's eyes met Kevin's, their gazes crossing in the air.
"Another troublesome guy has arrived."
Ultron's non-existent eyebrows furrowed.
Kevin was a difficult opponent for him, otherwise he wouldn't have temporarily retreated during their last battle.
For the current Ultron, the most important thing was to first collect the Infinity Stones to achieve his wish, rather than getting entangled with this group of people.
But there was no choice; first the Avengers found him, then Captain Marvel Carol followed closely, tying him down.
They tried every means to prevent Ultron from leaving, and Ultron couldn't shake off Captain Marvel, who could fly through the universe.
That's why he was still here.
One problem hadn't been resolved, and another one popped up. Even though Ultron was a robot, he couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed.
"Where are you looking?"
In the brief moment of distraction, Ultron was caught off guard by Carol.
Captain Marvel, radiating light, landed a precise punch on Ultron's cheek, sending him plummeting from the sky to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, offense and defense switched.
Carol pursued the advantage, pressing Ultron through the surface rock layer until he reached the ground, but the next moment, Ultron punched her back out from underground.
However, thanks to Carol's delaying tactics, under the influence of the Reality Stone, this entire area had already become Kevin's oceanic domain.
The characteristic added when Kevin's [Water Manipulation] was upgraded to LV5, according to the skill description, was that he could enhance his control over water in the ocean.
But in reality, as long as Kevin believed there was an ocean here, and as long as he was in a body of water, even a lake or a river, Kevin's Water Manipulation ability would most likely be enhanced.
Moreover, the definition of an ocean is the general term for the largest bodies of water on a planet, and this planet doesn't seem to have oceans.
So…
The largest body of water Kevin had created at this moment became the ocean on this planet.
Kevin's various abilities in the ocean were also enhanced in an instant, allowing him to exert greater power than on land.
Carol flew out from underground, about to continue her entanglement with Ultron, but found that the surrounding battlefield was already covered by layers of water.
She turned her gaze to Kevin, watching him spread his hands and continuously create seawater, tilted her head, and asked:
"You did this?"
"Obvious?"
"Together later?"
"Okay."
Even though they were two people who had never met before, at this moment, they seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.
Carol tilted her head, her fists clenched and colliding, and brilliant light rippled in the air.
Then her figure instantly disappeared from the air, and in the blink of an eye, she went from the sky to the deeper underground where Ultron was located.
Kevin couldn't see what she was doing, but he could see that a few seconds after Carol entered the ground, Ultron's body was thrown high into the sky like a sandbag, flying towards the water barrier Kevin had created.
In the shimmering water light in the sky, some colossal objects were surging.
As Ultron was about to make contact, two giant hands suddenly shot out from the water light.
The hands grabbed Ultron's body and squeezed forcefully towards the middle.
Ultron was about to try to escape these two hands by becoming ethereal, but a layer of red light spread from behind him.
Kevin's feet were Entanglement with water, and he hovered in the sky propelled by the water.
The Reality Stone in his right hand shimmered, and the red light extending from it, like a fishing net capturing fish, bound Ultron within it.
"Yo, long time no see, Ultron."
Kevin greeted Ultron with a smile.
But Ultron had no intention of speaking to Kevin at all.
The mind stone on Ultron's forehead condensed light, and he was about to use the mind stone's ability to break through the obstruction set by the Reality Stone.
But Kevin wouldn't give him the chance.
Before Ultron could break through the 'fishing net' that bound him, Kevin began to spin his body, dragging the 'fishing net' that enveloped Ultron.
As his body spun, Ultron, enveloped by the 'fishing net,' also spun with Kevin.
One revolution, two revolutions.
After a few revolutions, Kevin, like a shot put athlete throwing a shot put, flung Ultron in Carol's direction.
Carol had just flown out from underground and looked up to collide with Ultron, who was flying towards her.
Facing Kevin's 'gift' delivered to her, Carol grinned, and her light-wrapped right fist swung out again!
The red metal head collided with the glowing fist, and Ultron's head was almost deformed by Carol's blow.
At the same time, just as he was about to land, he was once again sent flying by Carol, flying to the other side of the water domain.
After Carol, Kevin also followed closely.
He looked in the direction Ultron was flying backward, and with a swipe of his right hand, a blue portal appeared in the water, connecting his position with the direction Ultron was about to fly.
The next second, Kevin appeared beside Ultron, created a trident, added power runes to it, and swung it twice before bringing it down on Ultron's head!
Thud!!
In the next few seconds, Ultron, completely bewildered by Kevin and Carol's combination attacks, was like a tennis ball constantly bouncing between two rackets.
Hit by Kevin, caught by Carol.
After Carol caught the 'ball,' she passed it back to Kevin, and eventually even Thor joined in.
Because Kevin accidentally passed it to the wrong place, sending Ultron to Thor.
Thor didn't even think, spun Mjolnir a few times, and delivered a solid uppercut with his hammer to Ultron!
This blow was much fiercer than what Kevin and Carol had delivered; Ultron's body crashed into the uppermost water domain at near-supersonic speed and plunged deeply into the condensed water.
"You… enough!!!!"
Enveloped by the water domain, Ultron finally had a chance to react.
Before Kevin could teleport over, the orange gem on Ultron's chest suddenly erupted with a powerful shockwave.
The shockwave spread outwards, carrying the power of the soul stone, and collided with and canceled out the seawater Kevin had created with the Reality Stone.
Aside from the water condensed from the rain clouds, most of the water turned into red dust and disappeared.
A small portion of the water turned back into raindrops, pouring down from the sky.
The heavy rain poured down onto the dark red ground, flowing over everyone on the battlefield.
Seeing this scene, Kevin sighed helplessly and looked at Thor below.
"Why are you looking at me? You passed him to me!"
"…Nothing, forget it… Since that's the case, let's clear out the small fries first."
There was no time to say anything to Thor, Kevin raised his index finger in front of him and gently swiped it across the air.
In an instant, the raindrops in the sky hovered in mid-air as if time had paused.
