Chapter 626: The Desire for a New Body (Third Update)

Without hesitation, he detonated all the robots he had previously deployed there, along with those twenty-four self-propelled howitzers.

Amidst a trail of explosions, Sun Cheng flew crookedly away from Cairo, heading toward the Mediterranean Sea.

The low-temperature bomb was not his only trump card; he still had a higher-risk life-saving card he hadn't revealed.

Once it was truly used, the loss for Sun Cheng would undoubtedly be too great to calculate.

At least this current level of loss was still within an acceptable range for him.

From Cairo to the Mediterranean Sea, it was only a distance of a little over two hundred kilometers.

Sun Cheng was in poor condition, so he did not increase his speed above the speed of sound for the entire journey.

But even so, it didn't take him long to fly into the Mediterranean Sea.

After searching carefully for a moment, he slowly descended onto a warship.

"Master..."

Thunder and Scavenger had arrived here a step ahead, having rendezvoused with Hailishi and Pioneer.

Having transformed back into his combat form, Sun Cheng now undoubtedly looked far more disheveled than he had before parting ways with them.

Thick white smoke was constantly rising from his body, and a gaping hole piercing through his left chest looked particularly jarring.

As he landed on the deck, Sun Cheng stumbled and nearly fell.

His right leg had been broken by The Fallen in the previous battle, and now, in his combat form, his balance was extremely poor.

"I am fine!"

Seeing Pioneer and Thunder rushing forward to support him, Sun Cheng waved his hand to refuse.

He patted Hailishi's bridge and ordered: "Hailishi, set sail. Leave the Mediterranean; we are heading to the Atlantic Ocean to rendezvous with the submarine fleet!"

A medical spider jumped off Pioneer, crawled onto Sun Cheng, and finally stopped at his chest, where its two front limbs began treating Sun Cheng's chest like an electric welder.

Although Sun Cheng felt it looked exactly like welding, he suppressed his psychological discomfort because this type of treatment would allow his injuries to recover faster.

"Returning to Base No. 2 this time, it seems I need to consider manufacturing a new body for myself!"

Manufacturing a new body requires the consumption of vast resources.

Without a certain level of strength and influence, even the Autobots who came from afar could not afford it.

However, Starscream and Sun Cheng were two exceptions!

The former seemed to have arrived on Earth over a hundred years ago; with over a hundred years of operation, Starscream—like the vast majority of Decepticons—looked down on humans and refused to cooperate with them, and by relying solely on his ability to cultivate Decepticon Warriors and Workers, mining on his own was enough to accumulate massive resources.

In this regard, Sun Cheng had an even greater advantage than Starscream.

Behind him, not only was the entire world of reality supporting him, but furthermore, his own human inner self also made Sun Cheng more willing to actively engage with the human nations of the 【Transformers Universe】.

It was precisely through trade, coupled with the continuous expansion of Base No. 2 in South America, that he had accumulated massive resources, which were not only enough to support the consumption of the force he had built but were even sufficient for further advancement.

"A new body, huh..."

Sun Cheng looked down at the medical spider constantly treating the wound on his chest; as soon as this thought emerged, he was immediately tempted.

This was definitely doable!

Although Sun Cheng had only been using his current body for about a year.

But when designing it a year ago, part of the design concept for this body was referenced from the Autobot—Jazz, and part came from the body design left behind by Brawl.

Although Sun Cheng himself and the Decepticon engineers under his command had also attempted to make many improvements based on those technologies.

Yet, limited by the resources and technology he possessed at the time, the body, which was originally designed to match the Commander level, only had a real combat power slightly stronger than an Elite Warrior in the end.

At the very beginning, because he deliberately avoided direct conflict with the Autobots and the Decepticon Legion, Sun Cheng didn't feel this body was that unbearable at the time.

However, recently, as Starscream, Soundwave, and even The Fallen had successively had direct conflicts with him, plus a Megatron whom he had also offended severely and who might return as a king at any time.

Sun Cheng's dissatisfaction with this body had been accumulating more and more!

Perhaps it was time to consider redesigning a more powerful new body for himself.

The battle with The Fallen just now was the best reason.

Super strength, super speed, electromagnetic control—against such a powerful body, the energy weapons Sun Cheng prided himself on could only cause a certain amount of damage.

Even with a massive concentration of military force, there was no way to kill the opponent.

The Fallen was one of the thirteen original ancestors from the planet Cybertron, but as long as he didn't master the ability to kill the opponent, he would have to live under the threat of The Fallen every day.

As for the Requiem Blaster, Sun Cheng had never considered returning it.

Sitting on the deck, looking up at the scattered stars in the sky, he gradually fell into deep thought.

The few Decepticons on the ship could all tell that although Sun Cheng had suffered some losses in the recent battle, it didn't seem as great as imagined.

Scavenger was very curious about the process and outcome of the battle.

He had once followed Starscream and witnessed the awakening of The Fallen with his own eyes.

To this day, Scavenger still remembered the power of that ancestor vividly.

The only one who had ever enjoyed being called "Master" by a cunning villain like Starscream was Megatron.

However, he had recorded at least two rebellions against Megatron.

The more he pondered, the more curious he became; Scavenger rolled his eyes and spoke up to interrupt Sun Cheng's thinking, asking: "Lord Frenzy, what was the result of the battle just now?"

Sun Cheng was in the middle of making a preliminary design for his new body in his mind; being suddenly interrupted, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"If I had lost, do you think I could have returned alive given The Fallen's personality?"

He looked with interest at Scavenger, who seemed like a completely different person recently, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Your sealed memories should be fully awakened now, right?"

Having dealt with Decepticons for a long time, Sun Cheng's personality was inevitably influenced to some extent, "So, what should I call you now?"

A flicker passed through Scavenger's eyes; he wasn't surprised that Sun Cheng had discovered his abnormality, as the two had been dealing with each other for over half a year and were quite familiar with each other's personalities.

Come to think of it, ever since his memories of his previous life were fully awakened, the more Scavenger looked at Sun Cheng, the more he felt a strong affinity with him.

For no other reason than that, a long, long time ago, he also had a name: "Profiteer."

Upon hearing this, the excavator seemed to weigh the pros and cons for a moment before looking at Sun Cheng and speaking slowly.

"Swindle, my name used to be Swindle!"

As soon as this name was shouted out, the blue light in Sun Cheng's eyes instantly flared up.
