Chapter 893
For Cybertronians, an Electromagnetic Pulse Weapon is like a biological weapon to humans.
Just like the cells humans possess, inside a Cybertronian's body, there are tens of thousands of various electronic components.
Although the intense electromagnetic waves released by an Electromagnetic Pulse Weapon are harmless to humans, to the external environment—especially various electronic components that are highly sensitive to radiation—it is no different from being thrown directly into a brazier or a vat of strong acid, making them very easy to damage.
For Sun Cheng and his forces, who possess no nuclear weapons and have not yet climbed the technology tree to a sufficient height, the Electromagnetic Pulse Weapon is undoubtedly the most powerful weapon he can currently master.
When dozens of Electromagnetic Pulse Bombs exploded one after another in this combat zone, the terrifying electromagnetic waves instantly made all the Decepticons within this area feel as if they had fallen into hell.
Screams rose one after another; some came from the Combaticons, but more came from the Warriors under Sun Cheng's command.
The Electromagnetic Pulse Bombs launched from outer space by the Golden Eagle Fighter do not recognize friends.
Dozens of Electromagnetic Pulse Bombs covered an area of several square kilometers within the combat zone, so when these Missiles exploded, Sun Cheng and the Decepticon Warriors under his command were also within the bombing zone.
Sun Cheng, Thundercracker, and Frenzy—Decepticons at or above the level of Elite Warrior—were one thing, but the remaining dozen or so Advanced Decepticon Warriors, despite their bodies having undergone anti-electromagnetic Enhancement, could ultimately not escape the inherent flaws of Cybertronians.
Therefore, when dozens of Electromagnetic Pulse Bombs were detonated, the erupting violent electromagnetic waves caused them damage not much less than that suffered by Bruticus.
In the chaotic electromagnetic Storm, each Decepticon was like a traveler struggling to survive in a storm, angry, terrified, and helpless.
Although it was not the first time he had been affected by his own side's Electromagnetic Pulse Bombs, feeling it all over again, Sun Cheng still felt terrible.
It was as if he had been thrown into a hot space filled with dangerous radiation, naked and without any protective suit.
Right now, Sun Cheng only felt that all the 'cells' in his body were emitting unbearable, painful wails under the impact and scorching of the electromagnetic waves.
Thick white smoke instantly began to seep out from inside his body, gradually shrouding him.
"Clatter!"
It was the sound of an Advanced Decepticon Warrior briefly losing the ability to act and falling to the ground.
Sun Cheng struggled to stick the Long Sword he was holding into the ground to use as a cane.
The destructive power erupted by the Electromagnetic Pulse Bombs, which had undergone several upgrades, made even him feel somewhat unable to endure it.
Of course, this also had to do with him being at the center of the explosion of two Electromagnetic Pulse Bombs.
However, the Giant Combiner formed by Onslaught and his Combaticons looked to be in an even worse state than Sun Cheng and his group.
Crackling electric sparks kept jumping across the body of that Giant Decepticon, who looked like a steel titan.
At this moment, Bruticus looked like a dilapidated building that had just been extinguished after a fire; the pungent odor produced by the scorching of electronic components rose straight into the clouds along with the white smoke permeating around him.
"Frenzy!"
Bruticus stared fiercely at Sun Cheng, the killing intent on his hideous face making his features even more distorted.
Among them, the one with the heaviest killing intent toward him was Onslaught.
If seeing Sun Cheng and probing his current strength and state shortly after arriving on Earth from the Moon had already caused Onslaught to feel jealousy born of resentment,
then now, under the influence of this jealousy, his mood was so twisted that he wished he could kill him immediately.
"Damaging us to this extent... Damn it... Damn it... I won't spare you..."
After briefly sensing the damage sustained by the combined body, the five Decepticons of the Combaticons all changed color.
The natural suppression of Cybertronians by the Electromagnetic Pulse Weapon caused all five of them to suffer heavy damage in the recent wave of bombing.
Among them, Onslaught and Swindle were the most severely injured; the latter, Swindle, was because he was the weakest among the five members of the Combaticons.
And Onslaught was because he was too powerful; he was the main body that formed Bruticus and was also the command center of Bruticus, so naturally, he suffered the most severe damage from the Electromagnetic Pulse Bombs.
Facing their undisguised killing intent, Sun Cheng responded with a cold sneer.
"Let's go!"
He gripped the Long Sword in his hand tightly and simultaneously took the initiative to issue a retreat order to all his subordinates.
Thundercracker, who had been affected by the electromagnetic waves and fallen from mid-air to the ground when the Electromagnetic Pulse Bombs exploded earlier, struggled to transform back into his combat form.
Covered in thick white smoke himself, he exchanged a glance with Frenzy, and with a tacit understanding, they began to retreat slowly while remaining vigilant against Bruticus, who also seemed to have suffered heavy damage.
The surviving Advanced Decepticon Warriors on the field, although almost all of them had been heavily damaged by the recent Electromagnetic Pulse Bombs, also helped each other in twos and threes, staggering toward the location Sun Cheng had marked on the communication channel earlier.
Sun Cheng, Thundercracker, Frenzy, and the other Elite Warriors kept their guard up against Bruticus, retreating slowly while remaining alert; his gaze remained locked with the hideous Bruticus's eyes, neither side yielding.
And upon seeing them retreat, Bruticus's expression and body underwent a slight change.
Unfortunately, Sun Cheng and his group clearly noticed this; their retreating movement stalled immediately, and each of them gripped the weapons in their hands.
This attitude of being ready to counterattack at any moment finally made the Leader of the Combaticons—Onslaught—give up on fighting them to the death.
In the end, until they disappeared from each other's sight, he did not make any reaction.
And as Sun Cheng and his group retreated more than ten kilometers away, Onslaught and his team, who had been holding on for half a day, finally stopped struggling to maintain their combined state.
A cluster of azure electric arcs once again enveloped the giant-like Bruticus; after the arcs disappeared, five Decepticons, all covered in thick white smoke and looking exceptionally disheveled, fell one after another onto the muddy ground.
"Ah...", Swindle let out a miserable scream; he had been heavily slammed onto his lower back by the explosion as he landed.
"Damn it... Damn it... I'm going to kill them..."
He kept making a noisy racket; in his view, the battle just now was simply a great humiliation experienced after waking up.
Onslaught was soon annoyed by him to the point of an inexplicable rage; he swung a palm violently, slapping the noisy, defenseless guy to the ground, "Shut up!"
He coldly scanned the direction in which Sun Cheng and his group had left, his face shifting between light and shadow.
After a long while, he let out a muffled grunt and was the first to stagger away in the opposite direction.
"Let's go!"
A long-lost defeat; this time, Onslaught admitted his loss.
