Chapter 892: The First Battle Against Bruticus (Part II)

Onslaught, as a high-ranking commander of the Decepticon Legion, immediately realized the intentions of Sun Cheng and his group.

After all, whether it was the Decepticon Legion or the Autobots, there were only a few ways to deal with a Giant Combiner.

Because he understood this, Onslaught had also conducted targeted training for the Combaticons after they gained the ability to combine.

As the command hub of Bruticus, the moment Onslaught saw the movements of Sun Cheng and his group, a grin appeared on his ferocious head, "Teach them a lesson!"

Two thick cannon barrels, radiating a deep metallic luster, quickly extended from Bruticus's back and were mounted onto his shoulders.

"Danger!"

The moment he was locked onto by the muzzles, a feeling of extreme threat suddenly welled up in Sun Cheng's heart.

He trusted his intuition; this was not some sixth sense, but a crisis warning based on data.

Regarding the unfamiliar Giant Combiner before him, composed of Onslaught and his Combaticons, Sun Cheng felt that being extra cautious was not an exaggeration at all.

And this point of view of his was soon confirmed.

The moment he was locked onto by the muzzles, Sun Cheng pushed his speed to the limit.

Almost by instinct, he subconsciously leaped violently to the side the moment before the muzzles lit up.

"Zzzzt!"

A beam of light pierced through the spot where Sun Cheng had been standing, easily leaving a pit dozens of meters deep in the ground.

"Laser cannon!"

After scrambling up, Sun Cheng raised his arm and fired several Combat Missiles from his forearm.

Just a moment ago, the unfamiliar Giant Combiner before him had aimed its muzzles simultaneously at an Advanced Decepticon Warrior who had already followed orders and fled over a hundred meters away.

These vicious fellows clearly wanted to kill all of his teammates one by one right in front of Sun Cheng.

And he had indeed succeeded; relying on the terrifying speed and power of the Giant Combiner's two laser cannons, Sun Cheng himself had only managed to dodge them with some difficulty, so the fate of the other locked-on Advanced Decepticon Warrior could be imagined.

With one shot, the beam of light easily pierced through the Advanced Decepticon Warrior who had already run over a hundred meters away, instantly evaporating most of his upper body.

The Combat Missiles fired by Sun Cheng soon exploded one after another on Bruticus's chassis.

Although the Micro Combat Missiles equipped within his chassis all had warheads using high-explosive explosives specially designed by his subordinate Decepticon Engineers, the power was such that even some Elite Warriors would be injured if they took one.

But when these Combat Missiles hit Bruticus's massive chassis, the explosions only made him frown slightly, and soon his face was filled with a cold sneer again as he mocked Sun Cheng, "Is that all you've got, Frenzy?"

It seemed that after combining, the chassis strength had also increased to a certain extent.

The Combat Missiles launched by Sun Cheng, hitting the Giant Combiner chassis formed by five Elite Warriors, actually only left behind some fine cracks.

But he was clearly happy too early!

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

With several successive violent explosions, more missiles and Energy Bullets began to continuously hit Bruticus's massive chassis; amidst the sounds of explosions, fine cracks and concave craters appeared on his body in large patches.

It was Thunder, Frenzy, and the other Advanced Decepticon Warriors under Sun Cheng; their counterattack had arrived.

The two laser cannons carried on Bruticus's shoulders fired again, this time both muzzles aimed at Sun Cheng.

After being narrowly dodged by him again, the big guy simply stopped targeting the more difficult Sun Cheng and instead turned his gaze, which made no effort to hide his murderous intent, toward the Decepticons he had brought.

The two shoulder cannons fired continuously, and at the same time, he pulled a huge Energy Cannon from his waist, rapidly hunting the Decepticon Warriors under Sun Cheng's command.

"Hold him off, buy me some time!"

After Sun Cheng issued an order in the communication channel, he quickly increased the distance between himself and Bruticus.

Thunder and Frenzy did not let him down; the former leaped and quickly completed his transformation in mid-air, firing with terrifying full firepower, as rockets and missiles rained down densely toward Bruticus, instantly attracting the big guy's attention.

Sun Cheng knew that Thunder and the others could not buy him much time, so he only glanced at them, withdrew his focus, and began to prepare for a counterattack.

He did not have many ways to deal with the Giant Combiner before him for the time being.

This kind of weapon of war was originally a monster created by the great Decepticon Scientist, Shockwave, inspired by the Primal Titans and Predacons.

They had once caused countless horrific disasters during the Cybertronian Civil War, and countless Elite Warriors had died at the hands of the Giant Combiners of the Decepticon Legion and the Autobot faction.

Even the Cybertronian cities and military bases they had destroyed and ruined were too numerous to count.

However, although he could not come up with a better response plan than the Autobots and the Decepticon Legion, it did not mean Sun Cheng and his group had no countermeasures at all.

He glanced up at the dazzling "meteor shower" in the sky and calculated the time in his heart; it should still take dozens of seconds to fall to the ground.

"There is still plenty of time; it's just the right time to test the secret weapon I prepared for Megatron and Optimus Prime!"

With a thought, Sun Cheng immediately took out a huge metal cube with a length, width, and height of about seven meters from his Spherical Space.

He quickly reached out and pressed his hand onto the huge metal cube in front of him; the next moment, a cold mechanical voice rang out in his Core.

"External weapon system detected, link?"

"Link!"

The moment the order was given, lines of strange data quickly appeared in Sun Cheng's azure eyes.

At the same time, metal bone spurs quickly split out from his right hand, which was pressed onto the huge metal cube, and then rapidly inserted into the metal cube.

"Click!"

The huge metal cube began to tremble violently, and at the same time, the surface metal on the front and bottom of the six sides slid rapidly, completing the transformation in less than ten seconds.

When the transformation of the metal cube was completed, several fixing plates with shock absorbers extended from its bottom, firmly anchoring it to the ground.

And on the front of the metal cube facing Bruticus, in the lower part, two Missile Launchers, each consisting of 16 parallel launch tubes, extended out.

At the same time, in the upper part of the front, two 120mm caliber cannon barrels extended out.

Following Sun Cheng's order, the two Missile Launchers, each with 16 launch tubes, took almost only two or three seconds to load all the missiles, and then 32 missiles simultaneously locked onto Bruticus under his control and were launched.

At the same time, the two 120mm caliber cannons also began to roar, rapidly firing Depleted Uranium Armor-Piercing Shells, specially made by the Decepticon Engineers, toward Bruticus.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

One after another, missiles and shells accurately hit Bruticus.

The moment the first wave of missiles and shells struck him, this giant immediately abandoned the Thunder and Frenzy who were annoying him like flies, and once again focused his attention on Sun Cheng.

He had no choice but to shift his attention back, as this external weapon system—which Sun Cheng had personally designed for himself due to his own insufficient firepower, inspired by Hailishi who had already transformed into an Arsenal Ship—carried his hopes of not falling behind when facing Megatron and Optimus Prime in the future.

Although the missiles and shells stored inside it could not be compared to those of Hailishi in a fully loaded state.

But Sun Cheng had tested it before at Base No. 2, and once he awakened this external weapon system, he could completely unleash more destructive power in just a few minutes than all his Elite Warriors combined, excluding Hailishi.

"Hold him off!"

Sun Cheng's eyes were almost turning red; the Advanced Warriors he had brought out this time had already seen seven or eight of their number die at the hands of Bruticus in the blink of an eye.

Although this was not enough to hurt his foundation, it was enough to make his heart ache for a while.

The external weapon system was still continuously bombarding Bruticus with missiles and shells.

Under Sun Cheng's control, in just twenty or thirty seconds, four waves of missiles and shells had been fired in succession.

Under the bombardment of hundreds of missiles and shells, even Bruticus, whose body strength had been greatly enhanced after combining, was struggling to hold on.

Large areas of cracks began to appear on the surface armor of his body, and worse still, his left arm had been struck by a Depleted Uranium Armor-Piercing Shell at the joint, making it somewhat unresponsive to control.

"Damn Frenzy!"

Bruticus attempted to use his ship cannons to deal with Sun Cheng again, but Thunder and Frenzy, two guys stronger than the average Elite Warrior, were desperately pinning him down under Sun Cheng's orders.

There was also a group of Advanced Decepticon Warriors who had all aimed their muzzles at his shoulders and head.

So much so that with a scream, the barrel of the left shoulder cannon skewed, and it could not be used again for a short time.

However, Bruticus's right shoulder cannon still fired a laser, accurately striking the external weapon system in front of Sun Cheng.

"Boom!"

The laser detonated the ammunition stored within the external weapon system, and Sun Cheng, who was a step too slow to run, was blown more than ten meters away by the shockwave generated by the explosion.

He was slammed hard onto the ground, and at the same time, large cracks appeared on his body due to the aftermath of the explosion.

But as he propped his body up to stand, looking at Bruticus who had already rushed not far from him, he smiled.

Because the Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb launched from outer space by the Golden Eagle Fighter had finally arrived at this moment.

He issued an order on the communication channel, "Advanced Warriors, retreat immediately! Once the Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb is detonated in a moment, all Decepticons, evacuate at full speed!"

After giving the order to prepare for evacuation, Sun Cheng did not relax his vigilance.

He drew his Long Sword and held it in his hand, watching Bruticus, who was getting closer and closer, with caution.

Within his line of sight, the condition of the injuries on Bruticus's body was already clear to him.

"The external weapon system still deals too little damage to a giant like a Giant Combiner, but the approach should be correct..."

"After going back this time, besides having the Engineer team continue to upgrade the external weapon system, I must also pull a group of personnel to focus on tackling individual weapons targeting Leader-class Warriors and Giant Combiners!"

A long time ago, after Swindle awakened some memories of his original body, Sun Cheng had once tried to get some powerful weapons from the peak of the Cybertronian civilization from this former Decepticon arms expert.

It was a pity that the guy always did the bare minimum, and even when threatened, he only brought out some weapons that could threaten Elite Warriors.

Therefore, even though Sun Cheng's New Body strength had reached the Leader Class, there was still a significant gap in attack methods compared to Leader-class Warriors like Optimus Prime and Megatron.

He suppressed the urge to use the Soul-Reaping Gun; unless it was an absolute last resort, he intended to keep this trump card hidden for a while longer.

Megatron had been trying to scheme against his teacher—The Fallen—all these years, so he must already be familiar with the secret of the Soul-Reaping Gun.

Once the Soul-Reaping Gun was exposed, Sun Cheng could not be sure if that greedy guy would move him higher up on his target list.

The infuriated Bruticus had already arrived not far from Sun Cheng. Looking at Sun Cheng, who was gripping his Long Sword and already on guard against him, Onslaught—as the command center of Bruticus—felt his murderous intent grow even stronger.

He had only just obtained this terrifying giant, and he had not expected to suffer such a significant loss so quickly at the hands of a little guy he used to look down upon.

"You should be honored!"

He sneered as he aimed his weapon at Sun Cheng, "To be able to die at the hands of the great Bruticus!"

Sun Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, "Bruticus?"

A name heard for the first time; it must be the name of this strange Giant Combiner before him.

The muzzle aimed at Sun Cheng and fired, and he subconsciously raised his Long Sword to block in front of him.

The Energy Bullet struck the blade, and the shockwave formed by the explosion sent Sun Cheng stumbling back seven or eight steps again before he could barely stand still.

And the Alloy Longsword in his hand, at the spot where it had just been struck by the Energy Bullet, was already glowing red and emitting a scorching high temperature.

"I want to see how many more times you can block!"

Bruticus's cold voice rang out, and the muzzle aimed at Sun Cheng once again.

He was already too lazy to pay attention to Thunder and Frenzy, who were still trying to pin him down on the side; these two Elite Warriors had decent speed and decent body strength, but their weapons were not enough to severely injure him.

And for Onslaught at this moment, there was only one thought left in his head, and that was to kill Sun Cheng.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

Whoosh...

The Electromagnetic Pulse Bombs launched from outer space by two Golden Eagle Fighters, traveling at a speed exceeding Mach 50, successfully arrived over the area where Sun Cheng and the others were fighting after several minutes of flight.

"Boom!"

The first Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb exploded dozens of meters away from Sun Cheng and the others, instantly releasing tens of billions of watts of microwaves, causing Bruticus, who had already been pinned down and distracted by Sun Cheng and the others, to immediately let out a scream.

Then came the second, the third, the fourth...

Like the terrifying electromagnetic waves generated after dozens of nuclear bombs were detonated, they easily penetrated the armor of all the Decepticons present and began to scorch the various electronic components inside their bodies.

The Electromagnetic Pulse Weapon had achieved success once again.
