Chapter 359: Long Time No See, Starscream (End)

Although the form he was currently transformed into was a Su-30 fighter jet, a Decepticon is not a machine.

Fighter jets manufactured by humans are limited by many issues such as industrial standards, material strength, air resistance, aerodynamic layout, and power consumption; even if they have the capability for supersonic cruising, they cannot maintain it for long.

But for the people of Cybertron, especially Decepticons and Autobots whose transformed forms lean toward aerial types, these are not issues at all.

Not to mention that inside Sun Cheng's new body, there is also an Energy Core specifically designed to provide power to the propulsion system.

Therefore, although he was discovered and warned by the Russian Anti-Aircraft System twenty or thirty kilometers away from the battlefield inside the city of Severodvinsk, after reporting his identity, even though he had already reduced his speed to Mach 3, it still only took him about a minute to break through to the sky above the battlefield, which was still in the midst of intense combat.

Then, amidst a whistle, he descended from thousands of meters in the air, creating a sonic boom cloud with an angle of no more than fifteen degrees in the snowy night.

Boom!

Like a meteorite falling from the sky, his multi-ton body landed precisely in the area of the battlefield where the exchange of fire was most intense.

In an instant, the attention of everyone on the battlefield was focused on him, as if even the firing frequency of the rockets the Russian Army was actively saturating the entire area with had decreased somewhat.

"Master!"

Pioneer recognized him almost immediately based on the electromagnetic spectrum Sun Cheng emitted, and in a miserable state, he hurriedly disengaged from the battle and ran toward him.

Sun Cheng subconsciously glanced at him, and could not help but frown slightly.

The current appearance of this subordinate of his was truly too miserable!

Pioneer, who had already transformed into his humanoid form, could hardly be seen with a single intact spot on his body at this moment; the surface of his body was covered in cracks and bullet marks everywhere, and there was a striking wound on both his left chest and lower abdomen. The most miserable parts were his head and right arm; half of his skull had been ripped open, the electronic eye on the left was exposed starkly to the outside, and the right arm was completely empty. Looking at the metal tearing marks at the fracture, it seemed to have been violently ripped off by someone.

Just now, when he completed the scan of the Severodvinsk urban area from above, Sun Cheng had already discovered that the shipyard side had hardly suffered any impact.

Although he did not know how Pioneer had managed it, he was still very satisfied with the efforts of this subordinate of his, and he did not begrudge him a word of praise, "You've worked hard, you did well!"

Although those invading Severodvinsk this time were all high-level Decepticon Cannon Fodder like Brawl, these mass-produced Warriors were not something just anyone could handle. Even he, before changing his body, could only barely handle one if he did not use hidden means, so from the very beginning, Sun Cheng had actually prepared for the worst.

The personnel he left behind here in Severodvinsk would likely be wiped out!

At the thought of this, Sun Cheng's eyes could not help but narrow, and an irrepressible killing intent churned and boiled within his chest, nearly bursting out of his body.

"I'll give you a chance, speak, who sent you here!"

Slowly climbing out of the shallow crater created by his impact, Sun Cheng endured the boiling killing intent, his gaze fixed tightly on the nearest invading Decepticon with a ferocious appearance as he asked coldly.

Unfortunately, just as the words left his mouth, a Decepticon on his right flank, seemingly having noticed that he was in Sun Cheng's blind spot, smiled ferociously, suddenly pulled a metal spear from behind his back, and violently threw it at Sun Cheng with a wave of his hand.

"Master, watch out..."

Pioneer immediately discovered the sneak attack and had just spoken to warn Sun Cheng, but he did not expect that Sun Cheng seemed to have been on guard against it all along; he remained standing there motionless, but his right hand reached out and grabbed with lightning speed, and the next moment, he threw it back with several times the force toward the direction from which it had just been shot.

"Ssh-la!"

Amidst a harsh friction sound of alloy being pierced, the metal spear that had been thrown to sneak-attack him precisely pierced through the attacker's chest.

Accompanied by the extinguishing of his Spark, the red light in that Decepticon Warrior's eyes dimmed, and he immediately fell to the snowy ground, losing all signs of life.

However, Sun Cheng did not stop there.

His entire chest of killing intent had been completely ignited by the sneak attack, and the azure light in his eyes flared brightly. He sneered, raised his hand to summon his Plasma Cannon, and aimed at a Decepticon who looked particularly burly and had already reacted and was charging toward him for close-quarters combat, firing three consecutive shots, completely sealing off all his evasion routes.

The next second, the Decepticon, who had subconsciously stopped his body and rolled on the ground in preparation to dodge Sun Cheng's energy cannon fire, was hit in the shoulder by a shot and sent flying.

After firing the three shots, Sun Cheng did not look at him again; a ripple of metal moved across his right arm, and the manifested Plasma Cannon immediately dissolved back into countless Gears and parts, merging into his body once more.

With his gaze locked tightly onto the last two remaining invading Decepticons who were looking hesitant, Sun Cheng grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp, fang-like teeth. He quickly abandoned the one who was waving two pincer-like weapons with both hands—the tallest Decepticon, whose body was likely seven or eight meters tall—and accelerated, charging toward the Decepticon Warrior whose body appeared slightly thinner.

It was obvious that this thin Decepticon should be an agility-based Warrior.

And that Warrior with the most massive body, barring any accidents, should have a relatively slow movement speed; he was a clumsy Warrior with thick skin and flesh.

Although Sun Cheng had very little experience in battlefield slaughter, he still possessed basic common sense.

"Solve this agility-type Warrior first, to avoid him causing trouble or escaping in the chaos, and after finishing him off, go deal with that big guy!"

As for whether he could handle such a problem, Sun Cheng had never considered it from the start.

Just kidding, if his current new body could not even take care of a few Decepticon Cannon Fodder Warriors, he wouldn't need to wait for Megatron to come looking for revenge; the American Empire and the Autobots alone would be enough to teach him a lesson.

Seeing Sun Cheng charge toward him without a word, a visibly panicked expression appeared on Bonecrusher's face.

Although Decepticons are tyrannical and bellicose, it does not mean they are all fools without intelligence.

The moment Sun Cheng appeared, he emitted a terrifying electromagnetic spectrum, and the pressure he brought was no less than that of a genuine high-level Decepticon Warrior. If it weren't for Starscream's order to destroy Severodvinsk, they would never have dared to attack Sun Cheng.

Seeing that he might follow in the footsteps of his two companions, Bonecrusher steeled his heart. During the fierce battle just now, he had taken advantage of the opportunity to snatch a Plasma Hand Cannon from the hands of that weak Decepticon, which he had barely managed to hack just now. It was just that because it had not yet been integrated into his own body, using it was a bit troublesome.

But seeing death approaching, he acted ruthlessly, immediately raising Pioneer's Plasma Hand Cannon and firing a shot directly at Sun Cheng's face.

"Plasma Hand Cannon?"

Sun Cheng clearly had not noticed that Pioneer's hand cannon had been snatched away, although he had the intention to test whether his new body's armor could withstand a direct hit from that level of Energy Weapon.

However, after his Core immediately calculated that he could easily evade the shot with his speed, he, who had always pursued efficiency and stability, subconsciously chose to evade.

Thus, the propulsion systems outside his legs immediately sprayed out two streams of thrust, helping him easily leap into the air over ten meters high.

Sun Cheng reached back toward his lower waist, and the next moment, a Broad-edged War Blade emitting a chilling light in this snowy night and firelight quickly appeared in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

Borrowing the momentum of the fall, he swung the war blade from top to bottom, cutting Bonecrusher in half as easily as if cutting tofu.

Afterward, he slowly retracted the Ship-Slaying Blade in his hand, and Sun Cheng looked with satisfaction at the dark green liquid stained on the blade, nodding slightly in his heart.

"Although it still doesn't compare to Sideswipe's blade, it's enough for dealing with ordinary Mechanical Life!"

Waving the Ship-Slaying Blade to perform a flourish in the air, he quickly remembered that there was still one Decepticon left here who hadn't been dealt with.

Immediately, his pair of cold gazes turned toward that burly Decepticon Warrior whose size looked even more massive than Sun Cheng's.

Seemingly having sensed the undisguised killing intent in his eyes, that exceptionally burly-looking Decepticon Warrior could not help but have his body tremble. He hurriedly tapped his chest hard, and after the armor split open, he took out a sphere from inside and held it in his hand.

Sun Cheng narrowed his eyes, and not knowing what kind of weapon that was, he was carefully guarding against it.

Suddenly, he saw that Decepticon grip the sphere tightly, and after the sphere began to emit a red light, he violently threw it into the sky.

"... Hmm?"

Sensing some familiar electromagnetic fluctuations, Sun Cheng, who had just used the Virtual Imaging technology at the Longhan Hydropower Station not long ago, looked up at the sphere in the sky with an expression of surprise.

He did not have to wait long; soon, a massive stream of data radiated out from the sphere in mid-air.

At the same time, a face so familiar to Sun Cheng that he could not be more familiar with it appeared in mid-air; it was none other than Starscream, one of the Decepticon Leaders he had not seen for nearly a year!

"Starscream!"

The moment his eyes captured the image of Starscream, Sun Cheng could not help but widen his eyes.

After receiving the emergency communication from the Pioneer and learning that Severodvinsk had been invaded by Decepticons, he had guessed countless possibilities, especially after confirming that the invaders were only four high-level Cannon Fodder; who the mastermind behind the scenes was had already been deduced countless times within his Core.

This naturally included Starscream, but obviously, this schemer and ambitious person, who could definitely be counted as a famous name even looking at the history of the entire planet Cybertron, was definitely one of the possibilities he least wanted to see, second only to Megatron.

Yet the possibility he least wanted to see had become reality.

Although Sun Cheng's heart sank, the tempering of the past year had already given him a decent level of composure.

Facing the gaze falling from mid-air, he slowly retracted the Ship-Slaying Blade in his hand and took the initiative to speak first: "Long time no see, Starscream!"

His voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and his tone appeared exceptionally calm.

If not for the blinding firelight all around, that greeting would have looked just like accidentally running into an acquaintance on the road.

I encountered government urban planning and was forced to relocate, so I have had to stop updating for a period of time recently.
