In Marvel's What If..? Episode 8, What If.. Ultron Won?, a cliffhanger ending got some continuity as Ultron, as introduced in Episode 7, got all the infinity stones and wreaked havoc into the universe, and later on, the multiverse, laying waste to life in existence and bringing the peace that he always wanted through eliminating life.

Through the six stones, he was able to get some consciousness of the cosmic beings, one of which is Uatu, The Watcher, who is telling his narrative on how Ultron was able to sit in silence after a winless victory of achieving his true purpose of bringing peace whilst having no one to share it with. Upon realizing the presence of Uatu, he also got aware of the existence of the multiverse.

Uatu holds on to one last hope, pertaining to Nat and Clint who were in the KGB archives looking for what could possibly bring Ultron down and Uatu watched them from afar. They looked for something to fight Ultron with. It would be a plan to combat code versus code as Zola is an analog and Ultron is digital. They went to Siberia, an old HYDRA base, where the last copy of the code of Zola exists.

Ultron wouldn't be so much of a threat with only one Infinity stone as other beings could easily take him down with such. Captain Marvel could have succeeded given how powerful she is. Had Wanda been there, she could easily break Ultron to pieces. However, he got all six of the stones.
