Chapter 884: Collision (Part 2)

Within the borders of Newfoundland, in a sinkhole area about eighty kilometers away from the River Valley.

This was a sinkhole area that looked exactly like it had been formed by a meteorite impact, covering an area of several square kilometers.

However, this was not a sinkhole formed by a falling meteorite; upon careful inspection of the area around the impact crater, one could see it was special soil formed by explosions and prolonged burning.

In contrast, while the impact craters formed by falling meteorites on the ground might cause the surface to crystallize in a short time due to high heat, there was still a distinct difference compared to the special soil formed by prolonged burning.

And this place was precisely a battlefield left behind when the U. S. military clashed with the Decepticons not long ago.

Strictly speaking, the sinkholes on the ground were impact craters formed when U. S. military aircraft were shot down by the Decepticon air squad and exploded upon crashing.

Because the U. S. military aircraft contained large amounts of fuel and ammunition, it was inevitable that they would continue to burn for a period of time after crashing.

By the time Sun Cheng and his group arrived here, some time had already passed since that conflict.

The U. S. military had already finished cleaning up the area and recovered a large amount of wreckage from the crashed aircraft to prevent information leaks from aircraft that had not completely burned.

Only a very small number of metal fragments remained here; after all, the equipment on the aircraft contained metals with radioactive elements, and leaving them unattended for a long time would still have an impact on the surrounding environment.

Sun Cheng did not expect that he would run into Onslaught under these circumstances.

Clearly, Onslaught likely had not expected it either!

Both parties entered the sinkhole area almost simultaneously, and Thunder and Sun Cheng, who had been walking at the very front of the team, were the first to notice Onslaught and his group, who had just climbed up from an impact crater hundreds of meters away.

"You?"

The moment their gazes met, Onslaught recognized Sun Cheng.

Although his electromagnetic spectrum had changed a great deal, many things could still be vaguely distinguished.

"Long time no see!"

Sun Cheng raised his hand, and instantly, all the Decepticon Warriors behind him came to a halt.

Red light flickered in Onslaught's eyes, and his face shifted into a gloomy expression.

He had indeed heard quite a few stories from Starscream about what Frenzy had done over the past few years, but he had always been dismissive of them.

After all, as a high-ranking Decepticon Commander and a veteran titan-like figure.

In the long years Onslaught had experienced, he had seen too many rising Decepticons or excellent Autobots.

But every one of them had without exception received strong support from their own faction.

Or they had survived dangerous experiments by evil Scientists like Shockwave or Starscream, only then...

Therefore, compared to Starscream's unusually exaggerated narrative, this veteran Decepticon titan preferred to believe what he saw with his own eyes.

And Frenzy had indeed left a fairly deep impression in Onslaught's memory.

But in Onslaught's original memory, that weak and pathetic guy was at most labeled as "a Decepticon with a bit of ambition."

If Frenzy hadn't produced Jazz's Memory Chip back then, Onslaught wouldn't have even given him a second look.

After all, initially, in Onslaught's mind, Frenzy was just a pawn that could be slightly courted to cause some trouble for Starscream and Soundwave, the kind whose presence or absence didn't matter.

Later, before preparing for stasis, although he had been generous once and thrown everything he no longer needed on Earth to Frenzy.

But in Onslaught's view, when he returned from stasis, that little guy with a bit of ambition from the past would at most have become an Advanced Warrior.

It wasn't that Onslaught hadn't considered that he might latch onto the coattails of other Decepticons, but he knew Decepticons too well; almost every one of them was selfish and arrogant.

Bullying the weak was a daily occurrence within the strictly hierarchical Decepticon Legion, and since even Onslaught himself looked down on Frenzy, he naturally wouldn't think he could climb any high branches.

As a result...

In just over two years, when the old acquaintance met again, he discovered that he was not only wrong, but dead wrong!

"Elite Warrior... no, his current strength is probably not below mine..."

His scarlet eyes kept scrutinizing Sun Cheng; the more Onslaught looked, the more shocked, jealous, and angry he became.

Although the classification of Cybertronians had begun to emerge before the civil war.

It was only truly finalized after the civil war began, introduced by the Decepticon Legion.

And from the moment this grading system was born, it had almost firmly locked over 99% of Decepticons at the bottom of the Pyramid of enslavement.

For millions of years, although a large number of Decepticons had indeed climbed up from the bottom through military merit to become Advanced Warriors or even Elite Warriors.

But the number of these Decepticons compared to the entire race was still a drop in the bucket.

Even though Decepticons had a much longer lifespan than humans on Earth, the vast majority of them died on the battlefield as Cannon Fodder before they could ever reach the end of their natural lives.

Like Frenzy, climbing from a piece of Cannon Fodder to the same height and position as himself in just over two short years.

Even with Onslaught's extensive experience, at this moment, only shock, jealousy, and anger remained in his heart.

You must know, born during the era of the Cybertronian Elder Council, he had spent a full several million years meticulously polishing his body before finally getting one foot into the ranks of the Leaders.

Although during the first and second wars, the entire planet of Cybertron slept for millions of years to avoid the Cosmic Rust.

Yet the time Onslaught spent to reach this step was still far more than Frenzy's.

The more he looked, the angrier he got; the more he thought, the more furious he became.

"It's the AllSpark Fragment... yes, it must be the AllSpark Fragment..."

A piece of news he had heard from Starscream back then couldn't help but surface in his mind: Frenzy had obtained an unknown number of fragments after the AllSpark shattered during the Battle of Las Vegas.

Linking this to the fact that he himself had also had close contact with the AllSpark a few years ago, which had caused his body to begin to transform.

The greed and resentment in Onslaught's heart grew uncontrollably.

He knew that Jazz's Memory Chip was something Frenzy had obtained during the Battle of Las Vegas.

Now that he thought about it carefully, back then, he had only taken out an Autobot Advanced Warrior's Chip to trade with him, yet from beginning to end, he had never revealed the intelligence that he had also obtained AllSpark fragments.

Decepticons were inherently very selfish creatures, not to mention that Onslaught, seeing Frenzy again after a short two years, found that the other party's strength had actually caught up to his own.

It would be strange if he, who had always been conceited, could keep his composure.

"Damn it... truly damn it..."

His face grew increasingly ferocious due to his murderous intent; Onslaught locked his gaze firmly on Sun Cheng and ordered in a condescending tone: "Hand over the AllSpark fragments, otherwise, die!"

At this moment, things like the Quintessa Civilization, Carbon-based Metal, and being used as a pawn by Starscream were all thrown to the back of his mind.

Frenzy now has only one thought, and that is to seize the AllSpark fragment from the hands of Sun Cheng.
