Chapter 236: On the Moon (Please Subscribe)

Finally being honest, are you?!

A cold gaze fell upon this Decepticon Warrior who called himself 'Brawl', and the arc of Sun Cheng's mouth was faintly visible.

The sphere he had thrown out just now was an 'Anti-Communication Jammer', a device most commonly used during the Cybertronian Civil War to block the communication capabilities of Mechanical Life within a certain area.

To put it simply, this thing can be seen as an ultra-high-power electromagnetic interference device; it continuously releases interference within a controllable area, preventing enemy Mechanical Life from transmitting communications outward.

However, because the Workers under Sun Cheng were manufacturing this thing for the first time and had only just gotten the hang of it, the resulting 'Anti-Communication Jammer' not only had a shorter lifespan and a smaller range, but it also couldn't distinguish accurately. Once used, it would fill an area with indiscriminate interference; not only could Brawl not use long-range communication, but even Sun Cheng himself was the same.

Destroying his long-range communication ability was equivalent to completely cutting off the last shred of hope in Brawl's heart.

Only then did this guy's expression change drastically, and his attitude finally softened.

He hadn't expected to capture a Decepticon who was very likely sent by The Fallen. Since they had already fought, Sun Cheng would not miss this opportunity to learn what the current situation was on the Moon.

Immediately, he aggressively pressed, "Be honest with me. Tell me, who sent you here? What is your Task here? Besides you, how many other Decepticons have been dispatched?"

"... It was Lord The Fallen who sent us to Earth to track down intelligence on the 'Matrix of Leadership'. There are quite a few other Decepticons dispatched like me; I don't know the exact number, because this isn't my first time coming to Earth, and after me, there should be..."

Brawl seemed to have poor resistance to this type of overclocked interference device, as the light in his eyes dimmed.

However, his words verified some of Sun Cheng's suspicions, leaving him with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Sure enough, The Fallen didn't just send the group of Decepticon Warriors led by Sideways to Earth to search for the 'Matrix of Leadership'... It seems my future actions need to be more covert..."

Facing The Fallen, who was highly likely to be the progenitor of Mechanical Life, Sun Cheng had a good sense of self-awareness; a Prime who had survived for at least millions of years was definitely not someone he could challenge, at least not for a very long time.

His gaze quickly fell back onto Brawl. After obtaining some information he had been trying to crack from him, Sun Cheng was still not satisfied.

It was hard to say whether letting him go would bring trouble upon himself, but killing him felt a bit of a pity.

After pondering for a moment, Sun Cheng couldn't help but coldly command: "Now, offer me your allegiance. Immediately deactivate all your defenses and open up everything you have!"

Brawl's chassis trembled. He hurriedly raised his head and stared fixedly at Sun Cheng, his voice trembling: "... What do you mean by this? I work for Lord The Fallen..."

"So..."

The Plasma Cannon in his hand was immediately pressed against his forehead, and the smile on Sun Cheng's face became even more ferocious: "I'm worried about that too!"

Seeming to perceive the undisguised killing intent in his eyes, Brawl finally panicked.

"Wait... you can't kill me... Lord The Fallen will absolutely not let you go. If you kill me, you will die too..."

Is the intelligence of most Mechanical Life only at this level?!

Sun Cheng vaguely remembered hearing similar words from that guy, Mudflap, before.

And the result?

He had twisted off Mudflap's head directly!

However, Brawl should be glad!

Although he looked a bit pathetic, he was still an Advanced Decepticon, and his foundation was quite good. If he were willing to tilt some resources toward him, it wouldn't be impossible to arm him into an Advanced Warrior.

Sun Cheng currently only had a few soldiers available; his only combat units were the Scout and Frenzy. He wouldn't feel at ease if either of them were sent out.

Because of this, Sun Cheng couldn't help but have the idea of taking him for his own use.

"... Should I thank you for reminding me? It seems I need to be more covert... For example, how about you think of a scenario where you encountered an Autobot, fought, were defeated, and killed?"

After finishing, Sun Cheng grinned ferociously and pressed the Plasma Cannon in his hand tightly against his forehead, "My patience is very limited. I will repeat this one last time: open up everything to me, otherwise I will make your Spark my trophy!"

His cold-bloodedness in this move truly captured the essence of the Decepticons.

Finally, under the threat of death, Brawl completely caved in.

He looked at Sun Cheng trembling, his eyes full of fear, "... Don't, don't kill me, I am willing to submit to you, Master..."

After speaking, he immediately deactivated his Core's defenses and voluntarily opened up everything about himself.

"You're sensible!"

Sun Cheng narrowed his eyes, and the Core's intrusion function was immediately activated. A terrifying stream of information poured into Brawl's chassis, beginning to scan everything about him, including his Memory Data.

Brawl's chassis trembled continuously; having all one's secrets read so unscrupulously was definitely not a very good experience.

This was also one of the reasons why Decepticons liked to treat their captives this way.

For the inherently cruel Decepticons, there was nothing more humiliating, and at the same time, nothing that could better satisfy their sense of conquest.

The Memory Data within Brawl's chassis was not as much as Sun Cheng had imagined.

It took less than an hour to finish reading everything about him. After leaving several control measures within the opponent's Core, he withdrew the intrusive information.

However, after it ended, Sun Cheng couldn't help but look at Brawl again and let out a cold snort.

"To think you dared to lie to me..."

Sun Cheng really didn't expect that this guy was truly worthy of his Decepticon status; even under the threat of death earlier, he still dared to deceive him.

Something about taking orders from The Fallen and being sent to Earth to search for the 'Matrix of Leadership'!

It's a wonder he had actually believed it before!

Hearing this, Brawl's chassis couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He had been left with control measures in his Core by Sun Cheng, and Sun Cheng had no intention of hiding it; he left them openly just to make him feel fear.

Therefore, upon seeing him get angry, Brawl immediately began to panic.

Sun Cheng glanced at him with a cold face, but instead of taking the opportunity to torture him, he turned his gaze toward the sky, looking in the direction of the Moon, with strange light flickering in his eyes.

"Starscream, huh... I really underestimated you..."

Just now, while reading Brawl's Memory Data, he had seen a familiar figure in the deepest part of his memory—Starscream.

What Sun Cheng hadn't expected was that this guy Brawl was actually one of the Newborn Decepticons cultivated by Starscream using a cultivation device.

Just as Brawl had mentioned, Starscream had returned to the Moon a short time ago and attempted to use the nuclear bomb that Sun Cheng and his group had stolen from the U. S. military to destroy the protective device where The Fallen was sleeping, in order to steal the powerful strength of this Prime.

Unfortunately, he had overestimated himself and underestimated the terror of a Prime.

As a result, the explosion awakened The Fallen, who had been asleep for who knows how many years, and after waking up, he easily suppressed Starscream.

It was also thanks to Starscream's inherently insidious and cunning nature that as soon as he saw he was no match for The Fallen, he immediately surrendered to him. After being beaten into submission, he once again gained the other's trust.

Newborn Decepticons like Brawl, produced in batches, were the Advanced Warriors Starscream had cultivated for The Fallen.

However, although he had defected to The Fallen, Starscream still did not seem to have submitted to him.

He seemed to have learned the secret of the Matrix of Leadership from The Fallen, and was also secretly controlling some Newborn Decepticons he had cultivated himself, ordering them to come to Earth under the banner of searching for the Matrix of Leadership for The Fallen, while in reality, he was searching for this divine artifact for himself.

Brawl was precisely one of the many Newborn Decepticons controlled by Starscream!

Casting his gaze toward the Moon, Sun Cheng could not help but compare himself to Starscream in his heart.

Very quickly, he could not help but shake his head!

Compared to that ambitious hero, he was still far behind.

Fortunately, there were not many eyes on him yet; if he continued to develop, it was not impossible for him to have a chance to overtake him on a curve.

At that moment, he coldly glanced at Brawl again and ordered indifferently: "Let's go, it's about time for me to set off as well!"

After returning from China and Russia this time, he might be about to truly take off!
