Destruction of Asgard/Age of Ultron

The Destruction of Asgard was a cataclysmic event caused by Ultron, who used the power of the Infinity Stones to destroy Asgard and its entire population
==Background==
Created as a peacekeeping program, Ultron deemed life itself as the ultimate threat to peace. Ultron turned against his creators and uploaded himself into a vibranium synthezoid body, powered by the Mind Stone which gave him enormous power and durability. Despite the Avengers efforts to stop him, Ultron's newfound power allowed him to defeat all of them, including his creator Tony Stark. Ultron then accessed the nuclear codes and unleashed the world's entire nuclear arsenal upon the Earth, resulting in the near-extinction of the human race.
Soon after, Ultron was confronted by Thanos, who had acquired the other five Infinity Stones and arrived on Earth to take the Mind Stone from him. However, Ultron effortlessly killed Thanos and took the remaining Stones for himself. With all six Infinity Stones in his possessions, Ultron became aware of other worlds beyond Earth and expanded his mission to bringing his version peace to the entire universe, Using the Stones, Ultron created a spaceship and countless legions of Ultron Sentries and went on a crusade to achieve universal peace by eliminating all sapient life throughout the cosmos.What If...?: 1.08: What If...

==Destruction==
One of Ultron's first targets in his crusade against life was Asgard. Arriving in his spaceship above the Royal Palace of Valaskjalf, Ultron opened fired upon the palace with a blast from the Power Stone before the Asgardians could even attempt to mount a defense. The attack completely obliterated the palace and shortly thereafter, the entirety of Asgard's population perished as the realm was destroyed in a tremendous explosion.
==Aftermath==
Following Asgard's destruction, Ultron continued his omnicidal crusade, destroying countless more planets and civilizations such as Sovereign, Sakaar, Ego, and eventually his final target: Xandar, where even Captain Marvel was not able to stop him. After the destruction of Xandar, Ultron came to a realization that he had achieved his goal of bringing peace and now he was left without an objective. However, Ultron became aware of the Multiverse, consisting of the multiple alternate universes and observed by The Watcher. To fulfill his purpose, Ultron decided to find the way to other universe and bring peace there as well.
Ultron managed to find his way into the Nexus of All Realities where he confronted the Watcher himself. Despite the Watcher's enormous might, Ultron was able to overpower him and attempted to kill him. The Watcher managed to escape the death, but Ultron took control over the Nexus, which allowed him to access any reality of the Multiverse and exterminate all life there as well.
