Chapter 585: Diverting the Disaster

It was still that same Nameless Temple, roughly a few minutes after Sun Cheng had fled.

A gust of wind blew into the temple, stirring up the sand and dust on the ground.

If anyone were still staying in the temple at this moment, they would likely be horrified to immediately discover several faint, barely visible fluorescent phantoms sitting in a circle on the ground, exactly six of them from left to right.

"To think that we left behind so many guides for those who would come after, yet the first to find this place are two Decepticons!"

The six fluorescent phantoms were currently in the temple, whispering to each other in an ancient Cybertronian language that was both strange and familiar to Sun Cheng.

"Yintianxing, it has been so many years, yet you still have not let go... The Matrix of Leadership does not belong to us, nor does it belong solely to the Autobots... No matter who obtains it, its ultimate destiny is to return to the hands of a Prime!"

"Our brothers Maximo and Megatronus may have fallen, but the Decepticons into whom they poured so much effort are also our descendants. We should treat them equally and give them a chance... Those two Decepticons are different; they give me the same feeling I had when I saw Shockwave in the past..."

"Quintus Prime, have you forgotten the sins the Quintessons committed on Cybertron back then? According to your logic, the Quintessons you created are also our descendants..."

"... The Quintessons did indeed fulfill the mission we left behind; they followed the data I left and continued to research and cultivate a large number of Cybertronians..."

"And then enslaved them? And sowed the seeds of disaster for the later split into Decepticons and Autobots?"

"Alright, alright, my brothers... Our bodies have already decayed, what is there left to argue about."

"... Regarding the Matrix of Leadership, we agreed long ago... Alpha Trion prophesied that the reincarnation of the Thirteenth Prime would eventually come to Earth. He needs the Matrix of Leadership to evolve into a qualified Prime, which is why we tolerated Megatronus stealing it back then..."

After a moment of silence, a deep voice that had not spoken before finally drew a conclusion to this ghostly meeting.

"... He is also about to awaken. I can feel his heartbeat intensifying. There is not much time left for the Thirteenth Prime!"

"Master!"

The Pioneer spent over half an hour catching up to Sun Cheng, and by this time, they had already entered the territory of Egypt.

Sun Cheng was currently stopped in a patch of desert common to the Beifei Diqu, just as the Pioneer transformed back into his combat form and landed.

When he first looked at his master, the words on the tip of his tongue were immediately swallowed back, replaced by an expression of horror.

Because the Pioneer saw a massive claw mark appearing on the body armor of his chest.

That claw mark went three points deep into the bone, actually leaving a deep impression on Sun Cheng's specially crafted body armor.

And the spot the claw mark had reached was precisely where his Spark was located.

Sun Cheng looked down at the wound on his chest in silence, and only after a long while did he slowly spit out a few words: "The Six Primes..."

He was no fool, otherwise he would not have been able to find the Nameless Temple based solely on the fragments of information in the AllSpark Fragment and some of Jetfire's past summaries.

The Matrix of Leadership, if nothing went wrong, should be in that temple.

It was a pity that Sun Cheng had no fate to obtain it, because it was protected by the six legendary Primes of Cybertron who should have died long ago.

No one knew his New Body better than he did.

It was initially designed according to the standards of a Commander, and later, due to technical and other reasons, although its strength and such still had a significant gap compared to a Commander-level Warrior, it was only stronger, not weaker, than an Elite Warrior.

Yet, with such a fairly powerful body, Sun Cheng hadn't even seen the opponent's face, and his life had almost been lost.

Aside from those six legendary Primes who died protecting the Matrix of Leadership, he truly could not think of any other possibility.

"This is a warning!"

Sun Cheng gently stroked his chest, feeling the deeply sunken claw mark on his body; there was anger in his eyes, but even more so, calmness.

Because he knew that being angry or furious was useless.

If the opponent was truly the six Primes, then let alone him, even if Megatron went, the possibility of taking away the Matrix of Leadership would not be high.

The thirteen Primes who existed at the birth of the planet Cybertron were said to not all be powerful Warriors, but each possessed incredible abilities and weapons.

For example, the current The Fallen, also known as Megatronus; legend had it that his weapon was a Long Spear capable of destroying a Sun.

Another example was the deity worshipped by the Autobots—Prima. On the planet Cybertron, there were still a large number of statues built for him by Autobots in the past. The Prima on the statues held a Long Sword; it was said that this earliest-born Prime once held that Star Saber and killed a demon that intended to destroy Cybertron.

"Since I cannot obtain the Matrix of Leadership, I must find a way to maximize the benefits of this intelligence!"

Sun Cheng was not clear about the current state of the six Primes, but he felt they should not be much better off than The Fallen.

In the AllSpark Fragment information he had recently digested, it was mentioned that The Fallen was one of the few powerful Warriors among the thirteen Primes. This was likely the reason why it took six Primes to track him down back then to snatch the Matrix of Leadership back from his hands.

In that battle, The Fallen suffered extremely heavy injuries and had been forced to linger on until now.

Sun Cheng believed that even if the six Primes were alive now, they would not be much better off than The Fallen.

He was likely the only one who currently knew the location of the Matrix of Leadership, so he intended to divert the disaster, leading the Autobots and the Decepticon Legion all over there to let them have a good fight.

As for himself, legend had it that The Fallen once built a super weapon on Earth to destroy the Sun and create the AllSpark.

Sun Cheng was very interested in it and wanted to go see if he could get the blueprints for that super weapon.

He had no terrifying intention of destroying the Sun, but there were so many stars in the universe; he could always find another one that was more suitable.

The AllSpark was far inferior to the Matrix of Leadership, but it was not as hot a potato as the latter.

In the event that he could not obtain the Matrix of Leadership, mastering the technology to create the AllSpark would also be good.

Of course, everything could not be as smooth as he thought, and he still had to carefully consider it.

Thinking of this, the anger accumulated in Sun Cheng's chest gradually subsided.

Let's set a small goal first, for example, remember it in 1 second: Shukerju
