A new kind of light burned in his eyes—a sharp glint of confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing Kemira gently aside, he walked right up to the towering alien robot and asked plainly, \"Were you calling for backup just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bumblebee’s radio voice crackled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... it’s nine o’clock. Football broadcast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mismatched fragments of words told Sam what he already suspected—Bumblebee was injured and having trouble communicating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Using radio to speak? Looks like you’re damaged,\" Sam said, narrowing his eyes. \"So, why did you come to Earth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The radio blurted out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Space fleet...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The broken phrases made any real conversation impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sam thought for a moment and then offered, \"Alright—let’s keep it simple. I’ll ask you yes-or-no questions. If I’m right, nod. If I’m wrong, shake your head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bumblebee nodded quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn’t come here to invade Earth, did you?\" Sam asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robot shook his head slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kemira let out a relieved sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this was true, at least they weren’t dealing with alien conquerors. Judging from the sheer presence of these beings, modern civilization wouldn’t stand a chance in a war against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sam continued, \"You came here looking for something... and that thing is very important to you, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bumblebee nodded, then mimed a protective gesture, clutching an invisible object close to his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meaning was obvious, and both Sam and Kemira froze for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kemira ventured, \"Are you... protecting us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Bumblebee was about to nod, the whistling of wind cut through the night air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instinctively moved to shield the two humans—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—but a flash of crackling thunder surged from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who dares attack me!?\" Sam’s voice boomed, lightning spiraling around his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The electric light blazed so brightly that it lit the distant hills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bumblebee’s sensors locked onto the intruder instantly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Decepticon Tiger-920 unit, positioned five hundred meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sam?\" Kemira whispered, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind spun. First, her classmate’s car had transformed into an alien robot... and now her friend had suddenly unleashed lightning powers to attack extraterrestrial machines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she still on Earth—or had she stepped into some kind of fantasy epic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within moments, Sam returned, holding the severed head of the Decepticon in one hand. The metal was blackened and scorched, smoke still curling from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bumblebee instinctively took a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack that had felled the Decepticon so cleanly could just as easily destroy a Transformer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had happened to this human boy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he remembered the \"nonsense\" Sam had mumbled that night while staring at the stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mechanical core skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could Earth hide a civilization capable of this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, Cybertronians would have to tread very, very carefully here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise... they might end up dismantled into scrap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sam grinned, clearly pleased with himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, huh? Without this power, I’d still be the guy relying on others’ protection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smile faded as his voice turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your machine lifeforms aren’t a united front, are you? That one didn’t attack me and Kemira—it attacked you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let the words hang in the air, then added, \"Before your companions arrive, we’d better talk. This world isn’t as simple as you think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bumblebee could only nod in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, he transformed back into his Camaro form and opened the doors for them. The trio sped off toward the mountain outskirts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kemira’s nerves were frayed to the breaking point. She’d nearly fainted twice already tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sam, meanwhile, looked at her and asked casually, \"Want to get the same power I have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave a half-skeptical, half-curious pout. \"Yeah, right. Like it’s that simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you join our Eternal Church, it is that simple,\" Sam replied. \"Think of all the terrifying things from the movies. I’m your living example—you could be just as strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s this Eternal Church? Is it like believing in God?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"God?\" Sam scoffed. \"Not worthy to polish our God’s shoes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kemira blinked. \"Uh... so what do I have to pay? My soul?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Sam said with mock solemnity. \"Only pious faith. This world needs a real God—otherwise we’re all just lost sheep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He imitated a priest’s grave tone, hiding the fact that, just hours earlier, he’d been wondering if he was going insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the act worked—Kemira actually felt a spark of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to alien machines, humans were more relatable... and more trustworthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that worried her was whether joining this \"church\" would come with restrictions she couldn’t stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they reached the mountains, Bumblebee transformed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sam faced him squarely. \"To you, we humans must seem weak. But that’s only because our God hasn’t bothered with this world. That’s changed now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his voice in a mock prayer. \"God, have mercy on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, coldly, \"From this moment on, you—robot—are my captive. And anyone who attacks me will become my prey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bumblebee shifted uncomfortably, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d treated Sam as a friend... but the boy was declaring him a prisoner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can refuse,\" Sam said lightly, \"but then I’ll destroy you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spear of lightning, ten meters long, formed in his hands, humming with deadly energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bumblebee’s internal alerts screamed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ENERGY LEVEL: CATASTROPHIC!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>POTENTIAL LETHALITY: EXTREME!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WARNING! WARNING!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sam drove the spearpoint into the earth. The ground hissed and burned, a deep scar gouged into the soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even alien robots feared lightning—metal was their body, and this power was its natural predator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really want to fight me?\" Sam asked. \"If you die, the things on Earth will fall into your enemies’ hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bumblebee hesitated. The boy’s words struck straight at his core directive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he transformed back into his Camaro form—a silent surrender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sam smiled, then hurled his spear toward the distant treeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred meters of forest disintegrated into dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>United States\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Decepticon incursions had thrown the entire special defense department into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infrastructure was damaged, communication lines cut, and nothing they had could counter the alien threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a crucial report came in: all Decepticon activity in the past forty-eight hours had centered around a single young man—Sam Witwicky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Federal Commander didn’t hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arrest him. Find out what those things are after!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of soldiers were mobilized—to capture a student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surveillance feeds picked him up along Shanlin Avenue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The target is moving through the forest road—teams, go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sam, sitting in Bumblebee’s car, felt the killing intent drawing near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These soldiers move fast,\" he murmured. \"Wait here. Don’t interfere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kemira frowned. \"What are you planning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going to show them God’s power,\" Sam said with a smirk. \"It’ll help spread the doctrine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Law of the Eternal God: Never forget to spread the faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A God above all others should be worshiped by the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of headlights lit up the Camaro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sam stepped out, facing the soldiers standing by armored vehicles. \"What’s the deal? Why stop me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cooperate with our investigation—we’re with the Federation!\" one barked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t want to waste time talking; a soldier immediately approached with handcuffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two arcs of lightning leapt from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier was blasted back, coughing blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Target resisting—prepare special measures!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deploy Fifth Team!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than a dozen armored soldiers advanced with riot shields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sam lifted his palm. A chain of lightning snapped from his hand, vaporizing the entire squad in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked forward, the soldiers tensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop right there, or we’ll open fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three... two... one...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shots rang out—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—but the bullets passed through his body harmlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sam had become a living lightning form, the second stage of his meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Down you go, chopsticks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed a lightning-charged fist into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth itself hissed and melted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could stop him; distress calls went out as helicopters swooped in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t last long—each was brought down by a single thrown lightning spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sam hadn’t wanted it to come to this. But these soldiers had given him no chance to talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If your Federation likes to bully people... fine. I’ll bully you back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would show them—show everyone—who the true ruler of this world was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the communications building, chaos reigned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Decepticon crisis, the AllSpark’s location compromised, and now... a human Thor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chief Combat Officer Charles slammed his fist on the desk, his face pale with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>",1452,"2026-06-05T21:52:16.833Z",1,"novelbin.me","0397b372c3af3e89b76fea6161f6e7167540afed6d3a8b4ade681712e4827db9","infinite-faith-system-join-the-divine-chat-group-chapter-148","infinite-faith-system-join-the-divine-chat-group-chapter-146",391,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finfinite-faith-system-join-the-divine-chat-group-cover.jpg"]
