Chapter 812: Getting What One Wished For (Part 2)

Having obtained what he wanted as he had wished, Sun Cheng took Thunder and flew back to South America at a speed even faster than before he set out.

Once he returned to Base No. 2 and gave Thunder a few brief instructions, he entered his own Laboratory.

Although Sun Cheng did not usually stay at Base No. 2 most of the time, as the commander, quite a few laboratories and lounges were still reserved for him within Base No. 2.

The laboratory he chose was not large, only a little over two hundred square meters.

The interior of the laboratory was empty, with no electronic equipment to be seen, and the surrounding walls were covered with a thick layer of lead plates.

This was the laboratory Sun Cheng specifically used to study the AllSpark Fragment; he had been in this very laboratory when he first came into contact with the restrictions inside the Soul-Reaping Spear.

The thick lead plates and other insulation materials all around could very well isolate some of the strong radiation sources within the laboratory.

Having just walked into the laboratory in a hurry and closed the heavy door, the impatient Sun Cheng immediately took the black box he had just obtained from the Autobot out of the Spherical Space.

After opening the black box, ten azure gems that looked like crystals instantly appeared in his line of sight.

The ten gems in the box were similar in size, all about the same as the head of an adult human male.

However, Sun Cheng reached out and picked one up; in his field of vision, one 【Matrix of Leadership】 energy gem was only about as big as half of his current finger.

During the trade earlier, he had already roughly inspected it, and it was indeed the familiar fluctuation of 【Matrix of Leadership】 energy.

It was precisely the power contained within the three portions of 【Matrix of Leadership】 that Optimus Prime had traded to Sun Cheng.

"What an enviable and jealous energy, filled with surging vitality..."

Unable to help thinking of the 【Matrix of Leadership】 in Optimus Prime's hands, Sun Cheng's heart was also filled with envy and jealousy.

He had almost obtained the 【Matrix of Leadership】 back then, but unfortunately, those persistent Cybertronian Elders clearly did not want this supreme treasure of Cybertronian civilization to fall into the hands of him, a Decepticon.

Suddenly thinking of Solus Prime, who was suspected to also not be dead, Sun Cheng snorted coldly, "Those damn guys!"

He was not very clear about the current state of those few Cybertronian Primes, although all the information he had obtained indicated that all seven Primes, including Solus Prime, had passed away.

However, the facts clearly did not match the information Sun Cheng had obtained before; they were currently continuing to exist in some very bizarre state, just not overly interfering in the current war between the Decepticons and the Autobots.

Every time he thought of this, a doubt could not help but appear in Sun Cheng's heart.

"What secret is hidden on Earth? Why would so many Cybertronians be unwilling to travel across billions of miles of starry sky to come here, and why are there even a few Primes hiding here?"

The overly long Cybertronian history had buried too many secrets.

Although Sun Cheng had been committed to building a database about the planet Cybertron, until recently he had only finished organizing the memories of a batch of Decepticons such as Soundwave, Jetfire, and Astrotrain, recording the major events that occurred during the two Cybertronian Civil Wars one by one, and extending the Cybertronian database he compiled to the end of the Cybertronian Elder Council period.

Before that, there was an even longer history that remained hidden in the unknown mist.

He shook his head and threw these distracting thoughts to the back of his mind.

Sun Cheng reached toward his back, and as his spine suddenly split open, a silver-gray long spear was gradually pushed out, wrapped in metal bone spurs; it was the Soul-Reaping Spear.

Ever since the last time he used three portions of 【Matrix of Leadership】 energy to lift a part of the restrictions within the Soul-Reaping Spear, he had been able to use this weapon.

However, because the Soul-Reaping Spear was the former weapon of The Fallen, his mark had already been deeply branded within the weapon.

In order not to affect his future use of the Soul-Reaping Spear, after returning from Mars for the first time, Sun Cheng spent some time personally having his subordinate Decepticon Engineers make some small modifications to his body, allowing him to temporarily store the Soul-Reaping Spear inside his body.

Over the past few months, he had been continuously communicating with the Soul-Reaping Spear, which possessed a very simple self-awareness, and searching for the remnant soul of The Fallen that was very likely hidden within the Soul-Reaping Spear.

Sun Cheng hoped that he was overthinking it, but with the Forge of Solus Prime as a precedent, he could not guarantee whether that Cybertronian Prime—The Fallen—who had been proven by Optimus Prime to have died at his hands, had used the same means on himself in the past as Solus Prime had.

After months of uninterrupted conscious communication, Sun Cheng had now established a good connection with the Soul-Reaping Spear.

When his hand grasped the Soul-Reaping Spear, he could clearly feel bursts of light tremors from the spear body.

The self-awareness of the Soul-Reaping Spear emitted bursts of joyful humming; it would no longer reject Sun Cheng's use, and he could also feel that the Soul-Reaping Spear was continuously absorbing the electromagnetic waves wandering around, converting them into energy, and injecting it into his body.

Although it was nearly imperceptible, Sun Cheng's Core and Spark could both feel it.

"Old friend, hurry up and lift all the restrictions, let me experience your power!"

Sun Cheng held a 【Matrix of Leadership】 energy gem and brought it close to the Soul-Reaping Spear.

The outer shell of the azure gem could not completely isolate the energy inside; the Soul-Reaping Spear could draw energy from stars, and could even capture and convert the weak electromagnetic waves in the surrounding air into energy.

Therefore, as soon as the 【Matrix of Leadership】 energy gem approached, its spear body began to tremble violently, and at the same time, a suction force came from the Soul-Reaping Spear, targeting the gem in his hand.

One gem was immediately absorbed by it, and at the same time, the self-awareness of the Soul-Reaping Spear actively contacted Sun Cheng.

"More... need more..."

Sun Cheng smiled slightly, and his other hand grabbed four more 【Matrix of Leadership】 energy gems from the black box; just as he brought them around the body of the Soul-Reaping Spear, a powerful suction force appeared again, forcibly attracting the gems onto its own spear body.

The gem shell, made of unknown material by Wheeljack, shattered the moment it collided with the Soul-Reaping Spear.

Instantly, energy filled with surging life force erupted.

And the Soul-Reaping Spear seemed to have transformed into a black hole, crazily absorbing the energy from the 【Matrix of Leadership】.

The azure light quickly enveloped it, and crackling electric arcs even began to appear in the surroundings.

Sun Cheng quickly put the black box containing the remaining six energy gems into the Spherical Space and stood quietly to the side, patiently waiting for the Soul-Reaping Spear to complete its final transformation.

The energy contained in the five energy gems was clearly unable to satisfy the Soul-Reaping Spear.

As the azure light lingering around it faded, the Soul-Reaping Spear buzzed and actively contacted Sun Cheng again.

"Need more... need more..."

Sun Cheng saw that the Soul-Reaping Spear seemed to be undergoing some kind of special transformation; at this point, how could he still feel stingy about anything.

He immediately took out the black box again, took out all the remaining five energy gems, and picked them up to bring them around the Soul-Reaping Spear.

A terrifying energy tide erupted, and the Soul-Reaping Spear emitted bursts of joyful humming, like a greedy giant beast, and began to whale-swallow the 【Matrix of Leadership】 energy.

The electromagnetic field surrounding the Soul-Reaping Spear kept surging at a geometric rate; time passed second by second, and the 【Matrix of Leadership】 energy surrounding the Soul-Reaping Spear was rapidly decaying, but another powerful energy source seemed to have been awakened, beginning to emit a dry heat that made Sun Cheng uncomfortable.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, accompanied by a burst of urgent yet joyful humming, the Soul-Reaping Spear completely finished its transformation.

At this moment, its color had completely changed from the original silver-gray to fiery red, and various complex and gorgeous patterns had emerged on the spear body.

Sun Cheng grabbed this Yuanzu Weapon, and accompanied by a creaking sound, his fingertips were instantly burned red by the high temperature emitted by the Soul-Reaping Spear.

And as he re-established communication with the self-awareness of the Soul-Reaping Spear, information was continuously fed back from the Soul-Reaping Spear.

Sun Cheng's expression quickly turned from excitement to ecstasy.

I need to return to my hometown to visit my elders over the next two days, so updates will lean towards the afternoon and evening; please forgive me.
