"Megatronus is The Fallen?"

Sam keenly spotted the issue and asked.

Optimus Prime nodded solemnly, "I fear that must be the case!"

Many of the Elder Script fragments Sam received were relatively independent, so the information obtained after decoding it was also fragmented.

For instance, over the past few days, Optimus Prime had decoded a coordinate from the Elder Script Sam had written down.

That coordinate was located within the United States, but he did not know what was at the specific location.

After the United States government unilaterally tore up the cooperation agreement, the Autobots could no longer enter the United States at will; otherwise, it would likely be viewed as an invasion, causing the already terrible relationship between the two sides to deteriorate further.

Having discovered the true identity of The Fallen, it was highly likely that he was Megatronus, one of the thirteen original ancestors in the legends of the Cybertronian civilization.

Afterward, both Optimus Prime and Sam and the others became even more interested in the information within the fragments.

Sam, who had previously been slacking off because recalling this information caused him dizziness and hallucinations, no longer complained.

It just so happened that the daytime in the desert was not a suitable time for him and Mikaela, the two humans, to travel.

Sam simply took advantage of the short rest to keep recalling, drawing out the Elder Script from his mind bit by bit.

Through his efforts, Optimus Prime soon decoded and learned of much unknown history.

At the same time, he and the Autobots finally solved several mysteries: why the AllSpark and the Matrix of Leadership appeared on Earth, and why the AllSpark could only create Decepticons.

As a sacred object of the planet Cybertron, the AllSpark was an artificial sacred object created by Megatronus long ago, imitating the Matrix of Leadership after he used his weapon to destroy a dying star.

Because it was an artificial sacred object, its shortcomings compared to the Matrix of Leadership were very obvious.

The AllSpark possessed abundant energy, but it lacked a special kind of information that could give birth to Mechanical Life.

Megatronus therefore copied his own information and saved it within the AllSpark, endowing it with the ability to absorb information from electromagnetic waves on its own to constantly perfect itself.

As a powerful Warrior with a dark, proud, and headstrong personality, it was clear that Megatronus had created the AllSpark and also polluted it.

His information was too powerful, so the Mechanical Life born through the AllSpark were all chaotic, irritable, and bellicose Decepticons.

As for why the AllSpark appeared on Earth, the information in the fragment Sam obtained also happened to mention it.

Back then, in order to gain the forgiveness of his other siblings, Megatronus gave the AllSpark as a gift to all Cybertronians.

However, as the Creator of the AllSpark, Megatronus still set up some control measures within the AllSpark.

During the Cybertronian Civil War, when the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons affected the AllSpark, causing it to be launched into outer space.

The control measures Megatronus had hidden in the AllSpark were activated as a result, and it flew toward Earth, a planet he had already discovered and colonized long ago.

As for why the Matrix of Leadership was on Earth, that also had to do with Megatronus.

Back then, he used the AllSpark to trade for the forgiveness of his other ancestor siblings, allowing him to return to the planet Cybertron.

Afterward, Megatronus used some means to steal the Matrix of Leadership from another ancestor—Prima—and left Cybertron again after leaving a message saying he would bring greater glory to the planet Cybertron.

This was also the reason why six ancestors had followed his trail together, all the way from Cybertron to Earth.

As a sacred object of the planet Cybertron, the Matrix of Leadership possessed a powerful force that even the ancestors were shocked by; even Prima did not dare to use it lightly. If it were abused by Megatronus, the ancestors feared it would bring disaster to the entire universe.

"I can't do it, Optimus Prime, I'm sorry... I think I need to rest for a while..."

After recalling and drawing hundreds of different Elder Script characters over several hours, Sam's mind began to grow hazy.

The long-lost hallucinations returned; he now felt that everyone he looked at had various Elder Script characters floating all over them, and even the characters he drew began to twist and deform, with a large number of errors appearing.

Optimus Prime nodded and reached out to block the scorching sun above his head.

"You have worked very hard, Sam..." he comforted him gently: "Rest well for a while, and after sunset, we will go to other places to look around!"

Among the information Sam had already recalled, there was very little information regarding the Matrix of Leadership.

Combined with the intelligence previously sent by Frenzy, a large number of Decepticons were appearing within Africa, so Optimus Prime and the others could roughly determine that the Matrix of Leadership was in Africa, but the specific location could not yet be determined.

Therefore, Optimus Prime and the others could only use this clumsy method; they collectively transformed into vehicle mode, carrying Sam and Mikaela, and began to wander all over the land of Africa.

During this process, the Autobots took turns scanning, and once they discovered items with strong energy or electromagnetic fluctuations within the territory, they would rush over to check them carefully.

It was by relying on this clumsy method that Optimus Prime and the others had spent a few days checking most of Soli according to the principle of proximity.

If Sam could provide more clues about the Matrix of Leadership in the future, that would be best; if not, I fear the Autobots would need at least a few months to conduct a rough inspection of Africa.

Regarding this journey to find the Matrix of Leadership, Optimus Prime actually did not hold much hope.

When the AllSpark was discovered by the United States government, they quickly mastered the method to shield it.

Bumblebee had wandered around Earth for so long without finding the AllSpark, which showed how difficult it was to find something hidden on Earth.

The mentally exhausted Sam, after greeting Bumblebee and the others, ran with Mikaela to the car Bumblebee had transformed into, one lying in the driver's seat and the other in the passenger seat to rest.

The motorcycle Arcee had transformed into drove over from a distance with a whistling sound; she, who was meticulous, had just gone out on patrol to prevent attacks from the Decepticons.

And she had rushed back anxiously because she had received news from her sister—Chromia—that she did not know whether to call good or bad.

"Optimus Prime..."

She did not call him Leader directly, which also showed that the relationship between the two was not ordinary.

She went straight to Optimus Prime's side before stopping, her tone a bit anxious, "The two messages Chromia just sent over: Frenzy just had a fight with the Decepticons not long ago. He said he was being watched and prepared to hide for a while, and he provided us with another temporary Base and a batch of supplies..."

She clasped her hands together, and a deep blue sphere emerged between her palms, constantly projecting the images she had just received from her sister.

Optimus Prime nodded slightly, "I understand!"

Frenzy's schemes were not clever, but because it was an open plot, the wise ones among the Autobots had long seen that he was using a borrowed knife to kill.

But this was, after all, goodwill released by the other party, so the Autobots could accept it, though necessary precautions were still indispensable.

He knew that the always steady Arcee could not be this panicked because of Frenzy's affairs, so he asked immediately: "What is the other message?"

"Ironhide has already sent Autobots to mine in Soli, preparing to rely on the two temporary Bases Frenzy gifted us to establish a permanent Base belonging to the Autobots!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Optimus Prime's expression changed.
