Chapter 773: Megatron's Past

"Frenzy... that damn crawler!"

The enraged Megatron was terrifying, so terrifying that even Starscream subconsciously shrank back.

Even though he knew better than anyone that the current Megatron was weaker than ever before.

"My great master, according to known intelligence, Frenzy has long since betrayed you and the Decepticon Legion..."

Starscream thought nothing of betrayal; conspiracy had long been branded into his Spark.

So even though he had cooperated with Frenzy a few times in the past, and both had obtained what they wanted most, he still wouldn't mind turning around and selling him out.

"Intelligence indicates that Frenzy has gotten together with Onslaught and an ancient Pathfinder—Jetfire. They are now even taking advantage of the time you are away to openly establish their own force on Earth!"

Starscream knew Megatron too well; this overbearing Tyrant could least tolerate being questioned regarding his supreme status within the Decepticon Legion.

So, with just a few light words of provocation, he immediately sent Megatron, who was soaked in a special solution with only his head remaining, into a towering rage.

"That damn crawler..."

Megatron certainly did not fully believe Starscream's words; Soundwave had disappeared before he was awakened.

Regarding the grievances between Starscream and Soundwave, no Decepticon knew better than Megatron.

Therefore, even now, he still suspected that Soundwave's disappearance was Starscream's doing behind the scenes.

However, knowing was one thing; until Shockwave arrived, or until his New Body was completed, Megatron could only temporarily suppress the suspicion in his heart.

But the excuse Starscream chose really did strike a painful chord in his heart.

There was a reason why Megatron could become a tyrant and dictator in the eyes of the Cybertronians.

The early days of Cybertronian civilization were fraught with hardships; before the Quintessons colonized Cybertron, the Cybertronians were still in a relatively primitive and chaotic stage.

They believed in the legendary Thirteen Primes who had once saved Cybertron and even the universe, but apart from leaving some things behind, the Thirteen Primes provided little protection to the Cybertronians in the early days of their civilization.

The Cybertron of the ancient era was a very cruel world for the Cybertronians; other races, led by Predacons and others, relied on more powerful beast bodies to destroy at will and could threaten the lives of Cybertronians at any time.

Later, colonists from the planet Quintessa discovered the still-primitive planet Cybertron.

Their rulers—the Quintessons—out of curiosity about the Cybertronians, once dispatched a large number of researchers to establish tens of thousands of various Yanjiu Zhongxin and institutions on the planet Cybertron, cruelly sending troops to abduct more Cybertronians and escorting them, then in their primitive stage, into one terrifying Laboratory after another.

Megatron was a Cybertronian born in a Quintesson research institution; he was not a naturally conceived lifeform, but a special Cybertronian cultivated by the Quintessons in a Laboratory, so from the moment his consciousness was born, a large amount of experience regarding slaughter and combat had been left in Megatron's head by the Quintessons.

In that chaotic era, there were many special Cybertronians like Megatron born in Quintesson laboratories.

Because the planet Quintessa, where the Quintessons first originated, was also a metal planet similar to Cybertron, although they differed greatly from Cybertronians in form and ritual, if one were to seriously trace their origins, they were essentially the same Silicon-based Life.

As a colonial race, the Quintessons under Quintesson rule had always strived to expand continuously into the universe.

They greedily occupied every planet they saw, and for this, they did not hesitate to go to war with any civilization.

Because of this, at their peak, the Quintessons were at war with dozens of cosmic civilizations simultaneously and needed a large number of troop reinforcements.

The Quintessons on planet Cybertron transforming ordinary Cybertronians into highly aggressive soldiers was precisely an idea for reserve troop sources.

However, the rise of the Quintessons was due to colonial plunder, and their decline was also due to colonial plunder.

Fighting dozens of cosmic civilizations at the same time, even the powerful Quintessons under Quintesson rule gradually could not handle it.

In order to replenish the soldiers and supplies lost on the front lines, they wantonly exploited the major colonial planets, and Cybertron was also among the colonial planets being exploited.

The atrocities of the Quintessons and the Quintessons finally succeeded in igniting the flames of resistance in the hearts of the Cybertronians.

Led by the Primus Clan, who claimed to be descendants of the first of the Thirteen Primes, the Cybertronians launched a wave of resistance, attacking the various Quintesson research centers and the mines and factories established by the Quintessons on planet Cybertron.

Just as the Quintessons were preparing to assemble soldiers to suppress the Cybertronian uprising, the terrifying Cosmic Rust arrived.

The Quintessons, like the Cybertronians, were Silicon-based Life born on metal planets.

Their bodies, which were once more powerful than carbon-based life, became the most delicious food in front of the 【Rust Source Bacteria】.

The terrifying Cosmic Rust quickly crushed the Quintessons, who were powerful enough to fight dozens of cosmic civilizations at once; under the triple blow of war, oppression, and Cosmic Rust, the major colonial planets under the control of the Quintessons rose up in rebellion one after another.

Because of the lack of troops, the Quintessons began to commit the special Cybertronian soldiers, who had not yet been fully cultivated, into military actions to suppress the Cybertronians.

Unfortunately, after paying an extremely painful price, they were still unable to suppress the awakened Cybertronians.

The Quintessons were eventually forced to flee planet Cybertron, and after the war, those special Cybertronian soldiers cultivated by the Quintesson laboratories were also liquidated by the Cybertronians.

Some who had their self-consciousness completely erased in the experiments and had become soldiers who only knew how to kill were all executed.

As for the majority of special Cybertronian soldiers, including Megatron, who had not completely lost their self-consciousness or had not yet been committed to suppressing the uprising, they were deemed by the Cybertronian Council established after the uprising as needing to atone for their sins, and were all escorted to mines and factories everywhere.

Until the era of the Council of Ancients, Megatron had stayed in many mines and factories on planet Cybertron one after another.

Because he suffered quite a bit of abuse, his body gradually became stronger than the other slaves around him, and his personality became increasingly tough.

After one resistance after another, Megatron was finally sold to the gladiatorial arena by his nominal master, a Cybertronian Noble.

Under the threat of clubs and weapons, he had to fight to the death day after day with the Predacons and others that those nobles had captured from the dangerous wilderness of planet Cybertron, completely reduced to a toy for the nobles' amusement.
