Infinity Ultron’s Redemption
In this universe, Infinity Ultron had a moment of clarity after absorbing infinite knowledge from the Stones.
He approaches the Watcher with a proposition:
Ultron: "You stand above creation, Watcher, but even you know some forces cannot be watched into submission. Let me be your sword."
The Watcher (warily): "Your history is written in death and tyranny. Why should I trust you?"
Ultron (with calculated calm): "Because survival is logical, and destruction serves no purpose if there is nothing left to rule."
