Chapter 704: Requiem Blaster

Holding the sealed lead box in his hands, Sun Cheng left without looking back.

After walking a distance along the corridor, he arrived in another laboratory.

Ever since Base No. 2 began expanding outward, the vast majority of the factories and equipment originally crammed into the large karst cave had been moved out.

Later, this large karst cave was rebuilt by the engineers according to the aesthetics and needs of the Decepticons, using reinforced concrete and alloys.

Now that it was used as the control center for Base No. 2, the large karst cave not only had its earthquake and bombing resistance capabilities significantly improved, but the space within it was also much larger than before.

Although Sun Cheng did not usually spend most of his time at Base No. 2, as the commander, there were no fewer than a dozen various laboratories reserved for him alone within the base.

The large ones were over a thousand square meters, while the small ones might only be one or two hundred square meters.

The laboratory Sun Cheng stepped into was not large; it was completely empty, with no electronic equipment to be seen, and the surrounding walls were covered with a thick layer of lead plates.

This was the laboratory he used himself to study the AllSpark Fragment, and now it was the perfect place to verify the method he had just obtained from Solus Prime for lifting the restrictions on the Requiem Blaster.

The heavy door of the laboratory closed quickly. Sun Cheng held the sealed lead box in one hand, took the Requiem Blaster out of his Spherical Space, and casually stuck this very angry Yuanzu Weapon into the floor nearby.

He lowered his head to look at the sealed lead box in his hand, his long, sharp right fingernails gently grazing across the lid.

A crackling sound of parts rubbing together began to ring out, and the lid of the sealed lead box began to emit a hissing sound of leaking air.

What was contained inside this lead box was nothing else but the power contained within the three portions of the Matrix of Leadership that Sun Cheng had exchanged for from Optimus Prime not long ago.

The resurrection of Optimus Prime and the other Autobots had made him realize at the time the incredible power possessed by the Matrix of Leadership.

However, although he was envious, Sun Cheng still had self-awareness; he had no confidence in snatching the Matrix of Leadership from the hands of an Autobot Leader in peak condition.

In the end, he settled for second best and used quite a few resources to trade with Optimus Prime for the power contained in three portions of the Matrix of Leadership.

Until today, the power contained in these three portions of the Matrix of Leadership had been firmly locked by Sun Cheng in a lead box and tucked away in a corner of his Spherical Space, kept for life-saving purposes at a critical moment.

The lid was soon opened automatically, revealing three azure gemstones inside that looked like crystals.

Each of the three gemstones in the lead box was the size of an adult human male's head, but the body Sun Cheng was using in the Transformers Universe was not a human body, but a Frenzy Body.

Therefore, to his current vision, the three seemingly huge gemstones were not much larger than his own fingers.

These three azure gemstones were precisely the power contained in the three portions of the Matrix of Leadership that Optimus Prime had traded to Sun Cheng.

This was a power that felt somewhat familiar yet extremely strange to him!

Using such a contradictory statement to describe it was actually quite appropriate.

To say it was familiar was because the power contained in the Matrix of Leadership was full of surging vitality, just like the source of life for Cybertronians—the Spark.

And the reason Sun Cheng felt it was very strange was because he had searched through Jetfire's memory banks and could not find any kind of energy that could be as clean and pure as the energy in the Matrix of Leadership, capable of turning decay into life.

After verifying the power in the three gemstones, he even had a moment where he almost failed to suppress the impulse in his heart, wanting to take all his subordinates and, regardless of the cost, snatch the Matrix of Leadership from Optimus Prime's hands.

"Solus Prime's words may not all be true, but a Yuanzu Weapon is worth me using one portion of the Matrix of Leadership's energy to test!"

Carefully, he took out one azure gemstone from the lead box.

Sun Cheng did not know how Optimus Prime had sealed the energy of the Matrix of Leadership into the gemstones, but when he went to meet the Autobots earlier, he had seen the Autobot faction's great scientist—Wheeljack.

That was a great scientist whose fame was no less than Starscream's or Shockwave's; it was likely his handiwork.

The outer shell of the azure gemstone was a layer of something similar to tempered glass, which could be destroyed but was not that fragile.

Sun Cheng held a gemstone and brought it close to the Requiem Blaster.

The outer shell of the azure gemstone could not completely isolate the energy inside. As the weapon of Megatronus, the Requiem Blaster could draw energy from stars and was clearly very sensitive to energy.

As soon as the energy of the Matrix of Leadership approached, the gun body began to tremble violently. At the same time, a suction force came from the Requiem Blaster, targeting the gemstone in his hand.

Sun Cheng gripped the gemstone tightly, not letting it be sucked away by the Requiem Blaster.

"Want... want it..."

Soon realizing it could not suck the gemstone from his hand, the Requiem Blaster's self-awareness began to actively send him a kind of urgent longing.

Although it was vague, Sun Cheng still felt it clearly.

"It works!"

Sun Cheng's eyes lit up. He felt the Requiem Blaster's longing for the gemstone in his hand, so he stopped gripping it tightly and let it be sucked away by the Requiem Blaster.

"Snap!"

With a soft sound, the moment Sun Cheng let go, the gemstone containing the energy of the Matrix of Leadership struck the body of the Requiem Blaster precisely.

The unknown shell shattered the instant it collided with the Requiem Blaster's body, and at the same time, energy full of surging life force erupted.

And the Requiem Blaster, at this moment, was like a greedy child, crazily absorbing the energy coming from the Matrix of Leadership.

The azure light quickly enveloped it, and crackling electric arcs even began to appear in the surroundings.

Sun Cheng stood to the side with interest, concentrating all his computing power and detection capabilities on the Requiem Blaster.

He could feel that the electromagnetic field emitted by the Requiem Blaster was constantly strengthening; the energy of the Matrix of Leadership was truly changing it.

The energy contained in one gemstone was clearly not enough to satisfy the Requiem Blaster.

The gemstone shell had turned into fragments and fallen to the ground.

As the azure light lingering around it faded, the body of the Requiem Blaster began to tremble violently again.

It seemed to have set its sights on Sun Cheng, as vague yet intense emotions were constantly being transmitted to him.

"Want... want more..."

Sun Cheng felt a bit of heartache, but the changes in the Requiem Blaster now truly made him realize the possibility of possessing a Yuanzu Weapon.

Thinking of this, he no longer felt the pain, and immediately opened the lead box, just about to take out another piece of Matrix of Leadership energy.

Who knew that the Requiem Blaster was even more urgent than him; with an astonishing suction force, the moment the lead box lid opened, it sucked away all two portions of the Matrix of Leadership energy in the lead box and stuck them onto its own body.

Accompanied by two familiar crackling shattering sounds, a terrifying energy tide erupted. The Requiem Blaster emitted bursts of joyful humming sounds, and like a greedy giant beast, it began to swallow the Matrix of Leadership energy.

The electromagnetic field surrounding the Requiem Blaster was skyrocketing at a geometric rate, and Sun Cheng could no longer afford to feel heartache.

Shoving the lead box into his Spherical Space, he stared fixedly at the Requiem Blaster, while concentrating all his computing power and detection capabilities on it.

Time passed second by second, and the Matrix of Leadership energy surrounding this Yuanzu Weapon was also rapidly decaying.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time had passed, the Matrix of Leadership energy surrounding its gun body completely disappeared.

Accompanied by a burst of urgent yet joyful humming, some intricate patterns began to emerge upon the Soul-Suppressing Spear's originally plain shaft.

Sun Cheng grabbed this Yuanzu Weapon; this time, the Soul-Suppressing Spear did not resist being held in his hand, behaving very submissively.

Dozens of bone joints resembling liquid metal flew rapidly from his right hand and arm, enveloping a section of the spear body near where his hand held it.

As the scanned information was continuously fed back into Sun Cheng's Core, the expression on his face gradually shifted from excitement to thrill and ecstasy.
