Chapter 799: Primordial Titan

"Elder Script?"

Inside the Mars Base, the Decepticon Engineer stationed there, Adam, reported to Sun Cheng about the discovery they had made while scouting Mars earlier.

This discovery made Sun Cheng frown immediately, "Which Elder Script characters are they? Let me see!"

Prometheus responded; there were only two Decepticon Engineers who had arrived on Mars in the first batch, himself and Adam.

Among them, Adam was responsible for daily management, while he was responsible for technology.

After discovering something suspected to be Elder Script on Mars, Prometheus had studied it in his spare time.

Two beams of azure light projected from his eyes, forming a very realistic virtual image in front of them.

Floating in the image were two Decepticon Workers, accompanied by a squad of Combat Robots.

This must have been the scouting squad Adam mentioned earlier, and the location where they appeared was right at the base of a brownish-red canyon stone wall.

On the stone wall in front of them, several lines of peculiar characters could be clearly seen; they were somewhat similar to the Normal Mode Cybertronian Script currently used by Autobots and Decepticons, yet they were also more ancient and magical.

"It is indeed Elder Script!"

Sun Cheng nodded. Having suffered from not understanding Elder Script long ago, he had put a great deal of effort into researching it.

Ever since he accidentally encountered Jetfire and peeked into Jetfire's Memory Data, although Sun Cheng could not be called an expert proficient in Elder Script now, he already had a considerable understanding of it.

The characters that his Decepticon scouting squad had discovered on the Martian stone wall were indeed Elder Script.

After noting down those lines of Elder Script, Sun Cheng began to decipher them.

Elder Script is known on Cybertron as the language of the Prime; one theory claims they are ancient characters created by the Thirteen Primes, containing a large amount of encrypted information.

Another theory suggests that Elder Script was a secret language created by the noble elders who dominated the Yihui during the peak of Cybertronian civilization, intended to facilitate easier communication among themselves.

Judging by the acceptance of the Cybertronians, the former theory is accepted by more Cybertronians; at least, that is what Jetfire believed.

Every Elder Script character is a massive encrypted information package containing patterns, text, and information. Because very few Cybertronians understand Elder Script, its confidentiality is extremely high.

This decryption took Sun Cheng several hours.

As a large amount of white smoke rose from his head, the surrounding Decepticon Engineers and Workers all stood there trembling with fear, not daring to make the slightest movement.

It was not until Sun Cheng let out a muffled grunt and the azure characters dancing in his eyes abruptly vanished that he was heard whispering in disbelief: "Maximus... Shadow Guard... Primordial Titan... What secrets are hidden in the Solar System, and why did the Thirteen Primes all appear here!"

"Master!"

The Decepticon Engineers Adam and Prometheus were right beside him and had heard his low murmurs clearly.

But they dared not ask, nor did they dare to speak.

Sun Cheng had his train of thought interrupted by them; he looked up at them, "I need to rest for a while!"

"Prepare a lounge for me!"

He suddenly spoke, and then, as if remembering something, he said again: "Before that, first prepare two warehouses with enough space. This time I brought a batch of equipment from Earth, as well as ten Decepticon Engineers, over two hundred Technical Officers and Workers, and fifty Decepticon Warriors! They are all currently in hibernation within an Imaginary Space, and I need to open the Space Bridge to release them."

Adam and Prometheus did not dare to delay; after responding, they contacted the Smart Brain to arrange two empty warehouses.

Sun Cheng first went to the empty warehouses and released all the machinery and equipment he had brought to Mars in the Spherical Space, as well as the hibernating Decepticons.

After doing this, he entered the lounge that Adam and the others had prepared for him and began to digest the information from the Elder Script he had just deciphered.

Discovering Elder Script on Mars was something Sun Cheng found somewhat unexpected and surprising.

From a long time ago, he had vaguely sensed that Earth in the 【Transformers Universe】 seemed to have some kind of special attraction to the planet Cybertron.

In ancient times, the Thirteen Primes of the Cybertronian civilization had once arrived on Earth.

Later, the successive Pathfinders, and then the current Autobots and Decepticons, all came to Earth from several light-years away under some kind of special attraction.

If one were to say all this was a coincidence, Sun Cheng certainly did not believe it.

However, compared to Earth, some other planets in the Solar System were relatively inconspicuous.

Mars was one of these inconspicuous planets. According to Sun Cheng's previous thoughts, although he also felt that Pathfinders might have visited Mars long ago, because it was far from Earth and even Starscream and the others had not taken a fancy to Mars, it must have been relatively safe here.

This was also the reason why Sun Cheng built Base No. 3 on Mars!

It was just that he had not expected that such a huge secret was hidden on Mars.

There was an ancient Laboratory on Mars; more accurately, it should be the Laboratory of Maximus, one of the Thirteen Primes of Cybertron.

Maximus could be said to be the most mysterious one among the Thirteen Primes of Cybertron.

On the planet Cybertron, there were not many legends about him.

Even the knowledgeable Jetfire had only heard that he had betrayed the Thirteen Primes.

And Sun Cheng had also obtained some data in the past; the data showed that Maximus had once instigated Megatronus to duel with his lover Solus Prime and accidentally killed her, and he had also been hunted by the other Primes, forced to flee into the universe.

As for whether the intelligence was true, he would not comment on it.

But there was one point Sun Cheng could be certain of, and that was that Maximus had also visited the Solar System and had stayed on Mars.

The Elder Script discovered on the stone wall by the scouting squad sent out by Adam and the others was a warning.

They were suspected to have been left behind by the Cybertronians who had hunted Maximus back then, intended to warn all successors who reached this planet and discovered the marks they left behind not to approach the forbidden area hidden within the mountain wall.

That place was a Laboratory once used by Maximus; this Cybertronian Prime had committed heinous acts and cruel experiments after his fall.

It is said that in that Laboratory on Mars, a very dangerous evil combat machine created by Maximus in the past—the Shadow Guard—was sealed, and there might be even more dangerous existences within the Laboratory.

For example, a Primordial Titan!

PS:

Incorporating a small amount of plot from the IBW Comics; it won't be too much, because the writers of the IBW Comics often draw as they think, and while their imagination is indeed vast, there are also too many self-contradictory plots.
