Chapter 803: New Combaticons

"One month!"

Starscream firmly rejected the request for an attack, "You only have one month left!"

Starscream had deployed a large number of sensors in the Kuiper Belt, so as soon as Shockwave's vanguard arrived in the Solar System, they were detected by the sensors he had set up.

This was not a good sign!

Although the main force of the Decepticon Legion led by Shockwave might still need half a year or even a year to reach the Solar System.

But with the arrival of the vanguard sent by Shockwave, Megatron no longer had only Starscream as an available subordinate.

The Decepticons loyal to Shockwave might not every one of them be as loyal to Megatron as he was.

But the vast majority of Decepticons among them were at least still relatively loyal to Megatron and the Decepticon Legion.

Starscream knew very well that once these vanguard troops arrived, Megatron would completely break free from his constraints.

His chassis would be rebuilt at a faster speed than now, and even the current Moon Base and the command of the Replica Warrior Cultivation within the base would be ruthlessly stripped away by Megatron.

A flash of anger crossed Onslaught's face, but he suppressed it.

"You know, this is simply impossible!"

He did not believe that Starscream, an expert who had cultivated Replica Warriors for the Decepticon Legion for millions of years, would not know that it was not easy to cultivate an Advanced Warrior from scratch in just one month, let alone an Elite Warrior.

Yes!

As a perfectionist, although Onslaught seemed indifferent to the accusations he suffered in Soli for his repeated failures during the Cybertronian Civil War in the past.

But the truth was that, being exceptionally confident in his own intelligence, he was actually very angry at the various accusations from the Decepticon Legion.

In the eyes of the arrogant Onslaught, the reason why the Combaticons he commanded failed time and time again during the past Cybertronian Civil War, eventually leading to him and the Combaticons being squeezed out of the power core of the Decepticon Legion.

The main reason was that the other four members of the Combaticons were not only far inferior to him in strength, but each of them was not of one mind with him; the other four Decepticons all obeyed him on the surface, but secretly did not take the plans and strategies he formulated seriously at all.

So before the civil war ended, Onslaught was already planning to reorganize a new Combaticons team that would be completely loyal to him, would absolutely not betray him, and could each possess at least the combat power of an Elite Warrior.

It was precisely because of this dream that after Starscream discovered his resting place, he did not choose to evacuate immediately, but accepted the cooperation with Starscream.

Even if Onslaught knew from the beginning that Starscream would inevitably compete with him for control of Bruticus, and that he would definitely tamper with them in the process of transforming the Combaticons into Bruticus.

But Onslaught still chose to cooperate with Starscream, simply because he knew very well that this was a rare opportunity.

When Megatron led the Decepticon Legion, he was always committed to suppressing all Decepticons within the legion who had ulterior motives against him.

Under his iron-fisted suppression, there might be various ambitious people within the Decepticon Legion, but they were either squeezed out of the power core.

Or, like Onslaught and Starscream, they were closely watched by the intelligence agency under Megatron to ensure they could not obtain too many resources to develop forces loyal to themselves.

Onslaught might also be an ambitious leader, but when it came to playing with human hearts and conspiracies, he was more than a notch behind Starscream.

Having rebelled against Megatron twice and failed, Starscream still remained one of the four giants of the Decepticon Legion after the failed rebellion.

By yielding to Megatron, fawning, and flattering, this ambitious man still, under the close watch of Megatron and Soundwave, slowly became the executive officer of the Decepticon Legion's Replica Warrior Cultivation project through the technology he mastered.

Then, in this process, Starscream also re-accumulated massive resources and a group of confidants loyal to himself.

It was just that having the experience of two failed rebellions against Megatron, the current Starscream was more cautious and hid his power deeper.

For example, right now, even though Megatron was left with only a head.

Yet Starscream still keenly sensed that this commander of the Decepticon Legion, besides faking his death, very likely still had something hidden on Earth.

Even if he took action against Megatron now, he would very likely be unable to truly kill Megatron.

Instead, he would once again expose his ambition that had been hidden for millions of years, and cause the returned Megatron to join forces with Shockwave, who was about to arrive in the Solar System, to completely liquidate Starscream himself and his forces.

A flash of mockery flitted across Starscream's eyes; for this perfectionist with high aspirations, he acknowledged the other's strength and tactical layout ability, but despised his intelligence and means.

So what if he is stronger than himself?

To this day, not only has he been used as a scapegoat by an inconspicuous Decepticon for many troubles, but even the new Combaticons he has always dreamed of building cannot gather the resources to be established, and in the end, doesn't he still need to rely on himself?

However, Starscream could still use him for now, so he quickly and well concealed his mood.

He spoke again: "I know you can definitely do it, and I will also provide you with the necessary assistance!"

Upon hearing this, not only was there no sign of joy on Onslaught's face, but it was also full of vigilance.

"No need, give me two more months, I will try my best to complete it within two months!"

He would not allow Starscream to intervene in the cultivation work of any member of the new Combaticons; facing this cunning villain who was extremely skilled at cultivating Decepticons, Onslaught felt that no amount of vigilance was too much.

Unfortunately, Starscream's attitude this time was unusually firm.

"You only have one month, because I cannot guarantee who will be in charge here after one month!"

However, Starscream did not want the combat power he dreamed of—Bruticus—to die prematurely before it was born.

In the end, he took the initiative to make a concession, "Onslaught, you are merely worried that I will play some tricks in the process of helping you cultivate Swindle!"

Onslaught gave a light snort, his attitude self-evident.

Starscream held his right hand in a void grip, his sharp, blade-like fingernails rubbing against each other, making a series of unpleasant, sharp sounds.

And at this moment, he spoke again: "We are allies now, and Bruticus is also my dream for these millions of years. Therefore, I will do my utmost to make it born."

Opening his void-gripping right hand, a black-brown crystal had appeared there at some point.

Onslaught glanced at it and narrowed his eyes, "A Core!"

He recognized what was in Starscream's palm, and Starscream also generously admitted it.

"More accurately, it is Swindle's Core. After he failed to rebel against Megatron, he was sentenced to capital punishment by Megatron's order. This is a Core he left behind before his execution, which I kept and have preserved until now."

"Now, take it and use it. Use it to cultivate your last Combaticons member; I want to see your Combaticons within one month."

"We have no more time!"
