Chapter 336: Advanced Warrior
In the void, Sun Cheng himself did not know how long he had remained in that muddled state.
This state of having completely lost control over his body and connection to the outside world was terrible, making him very restless and uneasy.
Sun Cheng knew better than anyone that while alone in a completely unfamiliar alien world, he needed to remain clear-headed and vigilant twenty-four hours a day.
Because he lacked a sense of security so severely, he had even gone so far as to dig a trap with his own hands and kick Frenzy into it just to eliminate a possibility infinitely close to zero, while also putting on a show of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys in front of the Decepticon Workers who had always appeared loyal.
But there were some things he could not change; replacing a new body required taking his Spark and Core out of the old body and placing them into the new one. Unfortunately, in the world of Mechanical Life, the Spark and Core carried the life and consciousness of a Cybertronian, respectively.
"... Can the body replacement be completed successfully?"
"Blood-sacrificing Frenzy should be enough to intimidate Atlas and the others, right? But just staying on guard like this isn't a solution. The problem still lies with Starscream; has that bastard left any eyes and ears around me?"
"... Starscream, hmm... it is time to consider taking the initiative to contact him... Megatron probably hates me to the core; will he deal with me first? Or The Fallen?"
"The Autobots should still be searching the world for me, and the American Empire... the production speed of the robots must be accelerated, and a new generation of more powerful Combat Robots must be designed... Brazil, Brazil must be taken..."
Having lost contact with his body and the outside world, Sun Cheng's consciousness could only anxiously and uneasily let his thoughts run wild in that muddled state.
This feeling of everything being out of his control made his consciousness appear very negative and irritable. During this period where he could not calculate the passage of time, his mind was almost entirely filled with the scenes he feared most.
Atlas betrayed him, and Mirage and the Workers were all eyes and ears left behind by Starscream. They took advantage of the time when he had to detach his Spark and Core to replace his new body to launch a riot, then seized the Base No. 2 he had worked so hard to build, and even wanted to erase his existence.
Fear, regret, anxiety, and panic—all the most negative human emotions seemed to have been gathered together, erupting within Sun Cheng's consciousness during this time.
So much so that when bursts of familiar yet strange sounds arrived, he subconsciously lashed out with a fierce slap.
"Boom!"
A dull sound of a roar and heavy objects colliding came through. Perhaps realizing that this sound should not have been captured in the empty and muddled state he was in, Sun Cheng finally realized something.
He subconsciously connected to his Core, and the next moment, familiar notification sounds echoed repeatedly in his mind.
"Core Awakening successful... starting to link memory database... active defense function activated... active monitoring function enabled... combat system loaded... second auxiliary power system enabled..."
"Did it succeed?"
With the unique sounds that only appear when Core functions are running constantly loading in his mind, Sun Cheng could not help but mutter softly.
Although his voice was not very loud, this low mutter was clearly heard by someone else. Upon hearing it, they hurriedly and respectfully replied, their voice sounding indescribably humble and ingratiating, "... Yes, Master... your new body replacement has been completed..."
After this voice, which was familiar to the point of being unable to be more familiar, came out, it immediately attracted the attention of Sun Cheng, whose consciousness was not yet very clear.
He subconsciously lowered his head, his gaze looking toward where the sound came from.
About six or seven meters away, a short and hideous-looking Decepticon was respectfully kneeling on one knee; it was the Worker Captain under Sun Cheng—Atlas.
Behind Atlas, there were more than a dozen Decepticon Workers also kneeling there. Although the formation was messy, he discovered with just one glance that, except for the two Workers who had to maintain the Nuclear Reactor in the valley outside the base to prevent accidents while he replaced his new body, all the Decepticon Workers Sun Cheng had left in Base No. 2 were all here.

The mutated field of vision, along with the surging and explosive power coming continuously from all parts of his body, and the Core, after experiencing a brief period of chaos, was reloaded and had completely taken over his new body.
Finally realizing that none of this was a dream, Sun Cheng could no longer suppress the excitement and agitation in his heart. He waved his right hand, which had just broken free from the fixing device of the body installation workshop, grabbed the alloy bracket still restraining his waist and pulled hard, while his left arm and his legs, which were also still restrained, exerted force at the same time.
The next moment, accompanied by several sounds of metal shattering, and the suddenly dense sound of electric sparks and the low hum of equipment exploding, he finally completely broke free from the restraints of the machine that had manufactured his new body, and could not help but look up and laugh wildly, "Hahaha... success... hahaha, Megatron, Optimus Prime, my new body is complete..."

Surging power burst forth continuously from all parts of his brand-new body. Sun Cheng tried waving his fists and kicking his feet; the expensive machine next to him, which the Workers had spent nearly 100 million USD in materials to build, was immediately destroyed into nothing but a pile of metal scrap and parts amidst bursts of explosions.
He jumped up slightly, his head easily hitting the top of the cavern nearly twenty-seven meters high, leaving a pile of dents in the hard rock.
Stomping his foot again, a patch of radial shallow pits immediately appeared on the flat factory floor.
