Chapter 74: Chaotic Battle

Sun Cheng was somewhat disappointed; the space inside the laboratory was too small. Otherwise, if he had transformed back into his Reaper Drone form to utilize high-altitude suppression, although the possibility of defeating Bumblebee would have been slim, he could have at least bought more time for the attack.

Now, seeing that Bumblebee was truly very decisive, upon noticing Onslaught was still in the midst of evolution at the 【AllSpark】, he didn't even think before firing a shot directly at him.

Although this shot only left a few cracks on his body armor, it interrupted Onslaught's evolution process.

So much so that after staggering back a few steps, moving away from the 【AllSpark】 and exiting his evolution state, Onslaught, who quickly regained his composure, had his face filled with killing intent: "Vile Autobot, you are seeking death..."

Angrily, he immediately summoned that Sonic Cannon. Perhaps influenced by his recent evolution, the gun was clearly a size smaller, but its power had increased by several degrees.

Sun Cheng carefully peeked from his hiding spot and saw Onslaught angrily raise his hand and fire two shots. One shot forced Bumblebee to leap in place to dodge, but the other shot accurately struck his lower abdomen. Accompanied by an explosion, the immense force immediately sent Bumblebee tumbling in mid-air in a sorry state, crashing into the wall in a corner of the laboratory.

Seeing that a good opportunity had arrived, how could Sun Cheng not seize it? He immediately jumped out from his hiding place, raised the Vulcan Cannon in his hand, and prepared to beat the underdog.

He did not expect that just as he raised his gun, his entire body would be locked onto by a powerful fluctuation. At the same time, a dignified, overbearing voice immediately rang out in his head: "Stand down, let that Autobot take the 【AllSpark】 first, then surround him!"

This suddenly appearing voice gave Sun Cheng a fright. Although he had encountered many intruders so far, including Starscream and Soundwave, both had invaded his Core and even read some of Sun Cheng's Memory Data.

But to be so effortlessly and suddenly invaded in the brain and have a voice message left while his Core functions were fully active was a first.

For a moment, a somewhat panicked Sun Cheng looked around vigilantly. However, when he saw that Onslaught's face nearby had also become unusually strange—looking closely, it was clearly joy mixed with a bit of apprehension and a trace of an indescribable emotion—Sun Cheng pondered for a good while before determining that the emotion seemed to be called 'regret'.

"Who is this person? Could it be that besides Starscream, Blackout, and Soundwave, another more powerful Decepticon has also arrived on Earth?"

Sun Cheng couldn't help but feel suspicious. Just as he was about to ask Onslaught, he didn't expect a transmission to have already been sent from Onslaught: "Do as he says!"

The tone was clearly beyond question.

Sun Cheng paused. It was clear that Onslaught had also received the other party's order and had no intention of resisting at all, which made his heart tighten.

Within the Decepticon Legion, there were truly few people who could make an Elite Warrior like Onslaught obey orders. Starscream and Shockwave each counted as one, but the former had just had a falling out with Onslaught, and the latter had to stay in Cybertron to suppress the still-resisting Autobot Guerrillas, so both could be directly ruled out.

Combining this with his memory and the information he possessed, Sun Cheng vaguely felt he had guessed who the owner of the voice was.

Once Onslaught stopped, although Bumblebee was suspicious, he would not let such a good opportunity pass.

He jumped up from the ground and fired two shots, one at Sun Cheng and one at Onslaught.

Seeing Onslaught act as if he hadn't reacted, taking a shot without moving, he was knocked back staggering, away from the 【AllSpark】.

Although Sun Cheng didn't know the thoughts of him and the person who transmitted the voice, he also knowingly jumped further away, both of them putting some distance between themselves and the 【AllSpark】.

Bumblebee was relentless, firing another series of rapid shots. Onslaught also understood the principle of putting on a full act; after quickly 'reacting', he raised the Sonic Cannon in his hand and fired a burst of shots at him. However, the accuracy was far from what it had been just now. Although a few shots grazed Bumblebee, they never hit him again.

Sun Cheng was also on the other side, taking the opportunity to raise his gun and fire two shots at him. He now saw that the owner of that voice and Onslaught clearly had other plans for this Bumblebee; otherwise, they would never have allowed him to approach the 【AllSpark】.

At the moment, he also followed suit and slacked off, letting him approach the 【AllSpark】 calmly.

The chaotic battle only lasted a few dozen seconds. Seeing the 【AllSpark】 right before his eyes, Bumblebee couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

Rolling into a blind spot beneath the 【AllSpark】, he avoided Onslaught's line of sight. Although he noticed he was still within Sun Cheng's field of vision, he wasn't worried that he could hurt him, so he reached out and touched the 【AllSpark】, simultaneously transmitting a special piece of information into it.

The next moment, Sun Cheng, who had just raised his gun at Bumblebee, was surprised to see that the massive 【AllSpark】, after a strange vibration, suddenly revealed countless tiny grid-like cubes on its surface.

As Bumblebee's hands continuously input segments of special information into the 【AllSpark】, it was like a shrinking Rubik's Cube toy. Those countless grid-like cubes retracted rapidly from top to bottom and from outside to inside, quickly transforming from a behemoth into the size of a packaging box.

"Huh..."

Sun Cheng couldn't help but exclaim. If he hadn't witnessed all this with his own eyes, he would never have believed that such a huge 【AllSpark】 could have such a transformation.

You must know that the last time he broke into the Sector 7 Base alone, Sun Cheng had the idea of taking the 【AllSpark】 away.

It was just that when he saw with his own eyes that the 【AllSpark】 was no less than fifteen meters in length, width, and height, he calculated the weight in his heart and gave up completely.

A piece this big, let alone a meteorite, even ordinary rocks would weigh no less than several thousand tons. Even if the one with the greatest load capacity, Onslaught, came, it would be useless. It was truly hard for the Americans to have transported it here over ninety years ago.

Sun Cheng was very close to Bumblebee. Although he didn't know how much load capacity Bumblebee had, he reckoned it was absolutely impossible to exceed Onslaught's. Now he clearly saw the other party pick up the 【AllSpark】 and hold it tightly in his arms. In an instant, he wasn't the only one with crooked thoughts.

"Do it..."

Suddenly, a loud shout came from a corner of the laboratory. Sun Cheng didn't need to look to know it was Onslaught.

The two of them tacitly attacked at the same time. Although Bumblebee was also wary of them, his heart clearly showed a flaw at this moment with the 【AllSpark】 in hand, immediately giving them an opportunity to exploit.

"Boom..."

"Da-da-da..."

Onslaught fired several shots in succession at Bumblebee, all of which were dodged by Bumblebee, who had been wary of him all along.

However, although he dodged Onslaught, he couldn't take care of Sun Cheng. At this moment, he no longer cared about energy consumption. Seeing the opportunity, Sun Cheng used the Vulcan Cannon to sweep a row of tiny cracks onto Bumblebee's body.

"There's a chance..."

The Vulcan Cannon, after being modified by the 【AllSpark】, had no reduction in fire rate or power, and its efficiency was even higher. Being hit by nearly a hundred rounds per second, even with Bumblebee's decent body strength, after being ambushed and swept twice while dodging Onslaught, his expression changed drastically, and he no longer dared to take it head-on, distracted as he dodged.

Amidst the three of them fighting, a series of chain explosions approached from afar. Hearing this, the expressions of Onslaught and Sun Cheng changed slightly, and Bumblebee was so anxious that he added three more points of offensive power, clearly having brought out a desperate stance.

It turned out that all three of them felt an astonishing energy fluctuation rushing quickly from the distance of the base.

Soon, accompanied by a low roar, Sun Cheng only felt a blur before his eyes, and suddenly saw an unknown type of aircraft rush into the laboratory.

Watching him land and transform into a steel giant even more burly than Onslaught, before Sun Cheng could react, he saw Onslaught kneel on one knee on the ground: "Subordinate Onslaught, greets Lord Megatron. Seeing that you are safe and sound, I am relieved!"

Sun Cheng's expression changed. He didn't expect the owner of that voice to really be Megatron.

After quickly reacting, he immediately followed Onslaught and knelt on one knee, paying tribute to this Tyrant of Cybertron: "【Cassette Corps Frenzy】, greets Lord Megatron, long live the Decepticons!"

Just as he knelt down, he felt two gazes locked tightly onto him. Even without looking up, Sun Cheng knew it was Megatron.

The other party watched him quietly, seemingly silent for a while, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Sun Cheng was feeling uneasy when he suddenly heard several gunshots. Before he could react, he was hit by a shot. Feeling his body lighten, he flew up and hit the laboratory wall.

When he landed and looked down, he saw more than a dozen terrifying cracks on his body, which made him both heartbroken and angry. He hurriedly stood up and raised his gun to look—it was none other than Bumblebee.

It turned out that although this guy had obtained the 【AllSpark】, he had been tightly blocked in the laboratory by Sun Cheng and the others. Coupled with the fact that the Leader of the Decepticon Legion, Megatron, had also arrived, he originally thought he wouldn't be able to leave. He didn't expect the worship of Onslaught and Sun Cheng to give him an opportunity.

Raising his hand, he fired several shots that hit Onslaught and Sun Cheng one after another, forcing Megatron to dodge. With such a good opportunity, how could Bumblebee miss it? He transformed directly into that Chevrolet sports car and rushed outside with desperate speed.

"Where are you running..."

Megatron's expression didn't change. He sneered as he looked at Bumblebee, who had already reached the depths of the corridor, transformed back into that unknown aircraft, and without informing Sun Cheng and the other, chased after him directly.

2. Yesterday I was asking for trouble. My younger sister said it was rare for the whole family to be off on May Day, and driving to the suburbs to hang out was better than being cooped up at home, so she suggested going to the zoo. But I wanted to exercise, so I suggested hiking. At the time, I was leading the way, and then, at over 190 pounds, I collapsed after getting home without even eating dinner. To this day, I still feel like I have no energy at all.
