Chapter 619: The Inheritance of the Leader (Please Subscribe)

Optimus Prime felt as if he had had a very long dream!

In the dream, he re-experienced his entire life from the perspective of an observer.

Even a memory that Optimus Prime himself did not remember had unexpectedly awakened.

It was a sealed memory, a memory concerning Optimus Prime's past life.

Approximately nine million years ago, the ancient Cybertron was in the era of the Council of Ancients, a time when technology and civilization were unprecedentedly advanced, yet politics were incredibly dark; at that time, Optimus Prime was just an ordinary yet extraordinary Cybertronian named Orion Pax.

Although the conflict between the Prime Sentinel Prime and the various nobles of the Council of Ancients had already intensified to an unprecedented degree, Megatron, who came from the slave fighting pits, also began to enter the military circles under the support of Sentinel Prime and gradually began to seize the military and political power of Cybertron.

The kind-hearted Orion Pax did not think that the escalating political struggle would affect him; he did not have outstanding combat abilities, nor was he a well-known scholar, politician, or Scientist.

The only difference between him and an ordinary Cybertronian was probably his origin.

The young Orion Pax came from the Primus Clan; because of this special identity, he knew a secret that only the Primus Clan knew, the location of a massive secret energy Warehouse.

As Megatron's status climbed step by step, the conflict between the Prime Sentinel Prime and the various nobles of the Council of Ancients also began to gradually intensify; assassinations targeting each other's camps occurred one after another, and the smell of gunpowder of war gradually grew thick.

Until that time, Orion Pax still naively thought that war was a distant matter and had nothing to do with him.

As an ordinary Cybertronian, he blindly worshipped Megatron, who had been molded into a hero by Sentinel Prime; the experience of him climbing bit by bit from the lowest-level fighting pit slave to holding the military and political power of Cybertron was too legendary and inspiring, winning Megatron countless supporters.

Therefore, when the war to resist the corrupt Council of Ancients began, the young Orion Pax, along with his friends who longed for glory, also came to the recruitment point, hoping to join the army and overthrow the rule of the corrupt nobles together.

Orion Pax even naively told Megatron, who was showing off at the recruitment point at the time, the location of the energy Warehouse he knew about.

What he did not know was that that secret energy Warehouse was an important supply point for the Prime Sentinel Prime.

Megatron already had a heart of rebellion at that time; after learning this intelligence and verifying its authenticity, he immediately killed all of Orion Pax's friends cruelly and attempted to kill him as well.

At the most dangerous moment, the heavily injured Orion Pax was saved by the Aerialbots team, who had been transported back to nine million years ago from the beginning of the Second Civil War due to an accident with a time machine.

He became good friends with the members of the Aerialbots team, sharing with each other what had happened during the Council of Ancients era and on the planet Cybertron nine million years later.

Upon learning that it was precisely because of his leak that Megatron had obtained enough supplies and eventually launched the civil war between the Decepticon and the Autobot after overthrowing the Council of Ancients.

Self-reproach made Orion Pax believe that he must be responsible for his mistake; he cooperated with the Aerialbots team, attempting to recapture the energy Warehouse while sending the Aerialbots back to their original time and space.

During the battle, Orion Pax suffered extremely serious injuries and was on the verge of death.

Eventually, to avoid the Decepticon who were hunting them, the Aerialbots team hid in the Iacon Archives where Alpha Trion lived in seclusion.

Alpha Trion finally took action, creating a New Body for him and bestowing him with a new life.

But because the time-travel journey of the Aerialbots and others had already interfered with the future of the planet Cybertron.

After Alpha Trion took action to send away the Aerialbots and others, he sealed all of his memories regarding Orion Pax and bestowed upon him a new name—Optimus Prime.

"... So this is my past..."

In a trance, the time and space around him seemed to shift, and Optimus Prime arrived in a mysterious space.

Surrounding him, six giants with incredibly tall bodies encircled him, and at the same time, a majestic voice sounded in his ears along with the appearance of the six giants.

"We have been watching you for a long time, Optimus Prime... You are willing to fight for the weak humans, to fight for peace... fearless of danger, unafraid of sacrifice, possessing all the noble qualities that a great Leader should have..."

"Child, we are very happy to see that another Prime has appeared among our descendants..."

"The Fallen only saw the power possessed by the 【Matrix of Leadership】, but did not possess the qualities that a Prime should have... In the past, he stole it from our brother, but in the end, we took back the 【Matrix of Leadership】 and protected it, waiting for the arrival of hope..."

"The 【Matrix of Leadership】 cannot be found, it can only be earned through effort... We are very gratified that you have a group of loyal subordinates, close comrades, and brave soldiers who are willing to give everything for you..."

"Wake up, Optimus Prime... The 【Matrix of Leadership】 will grant you life once again, but a new life does not mean a gift, but a responsibility..."

"The Fallen was once our brother, but eventually turned to the fallen under the temptation of evil..."

"In order to defeat that evil that attempted to destroy everything, we paid too many sacrifices, but it only caused him to fall into a deep sleep temporarily..."

"He is about to wake up soon, we can feel it, which means that disaster is also about to arrive..."

"Return to your companions quickly, protect them well, and make yourself stronger as soon as possible..."

"Remember, evil does not only come from the Decepticon, it may also come from the Autobot..."

The six mechanical giants, whose faces Optimus Prime could not see clearly, surrounded him and warned him solemnly about something.

Optimus Prime tried to remember their faces, but he soon discovered that he could not do it at all.

He wanted to open his mouth to ask the doubts in his heart, but found that he could not open his mouth at all.

He could only watch helplessly as the mechanical giants, who had appeared abruptly, disappeared again just as abruptly.

Just at this moment, a massive stream of information suddenly poured into his mind; at the same time, the Optimus Prime body in reality also began to tremble violently as Ironhide inserted the 【Matrix of Leadership】 into his chest.

The 【Matrix of Leadership】 successfully activated his Spark, and deep blue electric arcs began to spread around him, forcing Ironhide and the others to retreat a distance away.

"It's working!"

Watching Optimus Prime, whose body was constantly twitching in the ruins, all the Autobot could not help but become excited.

Soon, the electric arcs spreading around Optimus Prime's body gradually began to disappear.

As his eyes opened suddenly, two deep blue beams of light were particularly striking in the dark night.

Leader Optimus Prime, has awakened!
