Chapter 758: A Plea for Help from Starscream

Ignoring Sun Cheng's slightly changing expression, Dylan Gould acted as if he had completed a task, casually taking off the wristwatch on his hand and placing it on a coffee table in the conference room.

Then, he bowed to Sun Cheng and quickly fled the conference room.

He actually ran!

Seeing this scene, Sun Cheng felt that his Core's computing power was not enough!

"What is the situation?"

He watched the wristwatch on the coffee table in the conference room as it squirmed and transformed back into the appearance of a miniature Decepticon.

Sun Cheng could not guess Starscream's intentions; he only knew about the memories regarding the Web from a corner of Soundwave's memory.

Shouldn't Starscream be secretly building his own intelligence organization in private, taking advantage of the fact that Soundwave is dead, and continuing to hide in the shadows to rapidly develop and grow?

Or did he think that after Soundwave died, there would be no Decepticon who could hold him back?

Chameleon quickly completed the transformation, and what met Sun Cheng's eyes was a ferocious metal monster that looked exactly like a centipede.

He narrowed his eyes slightly; the human soul hidden within his body gave him an innate disgust for this kind of multi-legged creature.

Fortunately, Sun Cheng's composure was good; Chameleon was not skilled at combat, and it posed zero threat to him.

"Chameleon, it seems Starscream left behind quite a few hidden hands behind the scenes; the Web actually still has remnant members..."

Thinking of the replication technology that Starscream excelled at, Sun Cheng was lost in thought.

Chameleon lay on the coffee table, looking up at him and emitting a hissing sound.

This was not Cybertronian language, but Sun Cheng was surprised to find that when he heard the hissing sound, his Core immediately cracked the logic of this relatively simple language.

"Starscream sent you here!"

Sun Cheng looked with interest at Chameleon, who nodded and appeared quite respectful.

"Interesting, he is not busy building a new body for Megatron right now, so why would he think of me?"

The hissing sound emitted by Chameleon was cracked by the Core and converted into English that Sun Cheng could understand.

This was an international language on Earth; because the alphabet and tonal changes were relatively simple, almost all Decepticons and Autobots who came to Earth could master it within a very short time after connecting to the internet.

"Master cannot leave the Moon right now; he needs your help, Commander Frenzy. The Autobots have launched an attack on the Moon, and currently, Master is commanding the Decepticons to stop the Autobots from approaching the Base!"

This explosive news made Sun Cheng's expression stall, followed by an unconcealable joy.

"Has Optimus Prime finally gone to war with Starscream?"

Although this step was the result of his deliberate guidance—after all, Sun Cheng had been laying out a plan to divert the attention of the overly powerful Autobots toward the Moon ever since he intentionally informed Optimus Prime of Sentinel Prime's intelligence.

He knew very well what was on the Moon; Megatron's flagship, the Nemesis, was on the Moon, and there was a Decepticon Base there that Starscream had been managing for over a hundred years, with a foundation of unfathomable depth.

Just look at Base No. 2; it had only been developing in the South American region for less than two years, and it already possessed the ability to cultivate Decepticons in batches.

Silicon-based life forms have innate survival and adaptation capabilities in the universe that are far stronger than humans, who require oxygen and have overly frail bodies.

Even if the resources on the Moon might not be as abundant as on Earth, Starscream arrived on Earth over a hundred years ago, and heaven knows how much he has hidden on the Moon after managing it for a century.

This was also the reason why Sun Cheng had never set his sights on the Moon from the very beginning!

He led the Autobots to the Moon precisely because he wanted the Autobots to continue that war, which had been fought for millions of years, with their arch-enemies—the Decepticons.

Although Sun Cheng's relationship with the Autobots had eased, Optimus Prime, after obtaining the Matrix of Leadership, likely possessed combat power that had already surpassed Megatron.

Having experienced how miraculous the energy of the Matrix of Leadership was, he could not help but feel wary of the increasingly strong Optimus Prime.

In order to prevent the Autobots on Earth from turning their hostile gaze back toward him after their power grew, it was better to let them continue to arm-wrestle with Megatron and Starscream.

This strategy of killing three birds with one stone could not be called brilliant, and Sun Cheng actually did not hold much hope for it.

Regardless of Xia Country or other countries in the world, throughout history, how many monarchs and emperors, after falling into enemy hands, suffered all kinds of torture and abuse? Those who were successfully rescued or ransomed were less than one in ten, and even if they were rescued, they were basically kept in captivity as mascots.

Hidden behind this, the struggle for ruling power among monarchs and emperors was full of bloodshed.

Sun Cheng did not know much about the relationship between the two Autobot leaders—Sentinel Prime and Optimus Prime—because from the intelligence he had collected, although Sentinel Prime was Optimus Prime's teacher, he did not like Optimus Prime's personality, believing that this mild-mannered young student lacked some of the dominance and coldness that a leader should have.

Soundwave was the Intelligence Chief of the Decepticon Legion, leading the Decepticon Legion's most important intelligence organization—the Cassette Corps. Collecting information on the Autobot high command, especially the leaders, had always been one of the important tasks of Soundwave and the Cassette Corps.

According to the memory data of Soundwave and Frenzy, Sun Cheng already knew that before Optimus Prime, Sentinel Prime had once cultivated another junior who, like himself, was of the Prime Dynasty—Shoutiancheng.

This was a young Autobot Commander who had been surrounded by a halo since childhood. Because he obtained power and glory that he shouldn't have too early, his personality became blind and arrogant. Eventually, in an extremely critical battle, he became a huge loophole in the Autobot defense system. The Decepticon Legion, having discovered this, seized the opportunity to strike all the way to the Autobot capital—Iacon—and once captured part of the city area of Iacon.

After that, although Shoutiancheng was not sent to a Military Tribunal because of his status as a member of the Prime Dynasty, he was relieved of his combat command and lost Sentinel Prime's trust, being kicked out of the sequence of successors being cultivated.

Optimus Prime rose to power after that, but in Sun Cheng's view, he was more like a scapegoat that Sentinel Prime had pre-selected for his own faked death.

Just look at Optimus Prime's fate after the civil war ended; the Autobot Council dumped almost all the responsibility for the defeat onto him. A leader who should have been sitting in the Autobot headquarters commanding was forced to wander everywhere in the galaxy.

With a leader falling into such a fate, Sun Cheng was not sure if Optimus Prime resented his teacher, Sentinel Prime, who had dumped the blame on him in a moment of crisis.

Therefore, from the beginning, he did not have much confidence in his arrangement of leading the Autobots to the Moon.

Over the past few months, the Autobots had been sitting still, which also made Sun Cheng feel that his plan had fallen through.

He did not expect Optimus Prime to give him a big surprise without a sound; the Autobots actually concentrated their forces to attack the Moon, forcing even Starscream to come to him for help.

Countless thoughts surged and boiled in his mind, but Sun Cheng soon realized the problem.

From the beginning of this month until now, updates have been lackluster due to various trivial matters; I am starting to make up for the missed updates.
