Chapter 324: Convincing the Enemy! Exploring Cybertron!

Immediately, Optimus Prime quickly dismantled the wreckage of the Ark’s hull, and then led Bumblebee and other Hunter mecha members into the Ark cabin.

There, the first thing that caught his eye was the corpse of an Autobot. Just as Ironhide felt secretly delighted, mistaking it for the dead Autobot.

Optimus Prime simply ignored the corpse, because he could tell at a glance that it was not the corpse of his teacher, Optimus Prime, but an ordinary pilot.

“Search as carefully as possible and watch where you step.”

Optimus Prime reminded everyone, then took out an energy battery and placed it into the main circuit groove in the main control room to provide energy for the spacecraft.

Because the previous Decepticon members had taken out the Ark’s energy battery, the cabin lost power, further accelerating the aging of the spacecraft.

Now that the power supply has been restored, the lights inside the cabin suddenly light up, and the floor next to the main cockpit splits in the middle, revealing the captain’s room below.

In an instant, a sleeping Autobot and five energy pillars slowly rose and emerged.

Optimus Prime looked at the number of energy pillars and found that there were indeed five energy pillars as Otto said.

Its mood became a little depressed.

From this point of view, Skyforge does have the idea of ​​using the space bridge to bring Cybertron to the solar system and rebuild Cybertron.

Putting aside his chaotic thoughts for the time being, Optimus Prime walked forward, picked up the temporarily lifeless and on-standby Megatron, and placed him outside the cabin.

“Teacher, you should go home.”

Megatron has a very high prestige within Cybertron, not only because he is a powerful Transformer warrior.

Moreover, it is one of the few scientists who controls the core technology of Cybertron civilization.

It’s a pity that it took the wrong route, causing it to face the risk of image collapse and reputation being wiped out.

Fortunately, there is still time for all this. Not many Autobots know about this, so there is still room for turnaround.

After finding the trace of the Skybreaker, Optimus Prime will then take it to the headquarters of the Universal Corporation, the Base of All Worlds.

After all, only there can Yu Tiandi be closely monitored and controlled to prevent him from making big mistakes again.

After bringing the Titan out of the cabin, Optimus Prime held the leadership module lent to it by Ultra and slowly placed it into the Titan’s spark protection cabin.

The leadership module originally belonged to Yuanshi Tianzun’s energy core, and could be considered a Cybertronian relic, but this treasure was a trophy obtained by the Universal Corporation from Zhentianzun.

The Autobots only have a short-term right to use it. After rescuing the Archenemy, the leadership module still has to be returned to the global giant.

At the frontline base headquarters, V saw Optimus Prime through the holographic screen. After inserting the leadership module into the core module of the Skybreaker, he asked David beside him:
“We must be alert to the state of the Sky-Enemy after it awakens, and beware of it suddenly attacking and injuring people. How is the defense line deployed on the moon ready?”

After all, the leadership module is the lost treasure of Yuanshi Tianzun and also the magic weapon of Zhentianzun. For the Cybertronians, the role and significance of the leadership module are no less than that of the fire source.

In order to prevent the enemy from escaping, V specifically ordered David to deploy defense forces in advance.

“Don’t worry, sir, everything has been arranged!”

David nodded in response.

At this moment, the Prometheus Legion led by the missionary is orbiting near the moon’s low-Earth orbit. As long as the enemy dares to escape, they can arrest him at the first opportunity.

After hearing this, V stopped talking and turned his head to continue observing the holographic screen in front of him.

At this moment, the moment the leadership module was inserted into the spark cabin of the Yu Tiandi, it instantly burst into a dazzling light, and the surging energy was immediately activated.

This energy continuously flowed into Yu Tiandi’s fire, and then spread throughout his body. Yu Tiandi, who had been dormant for a long time, began to slowly revive.

Under the influence of rapid charging, Yu Tiandi’s body began to twitch. This was because the leadership module was continuing to take effect, quickly restoring its long-stiff body.

Not long after, Yu Tiandi opened his eyes!
The first thing he did when he woke up and saw someone in front of him, Yu Tiandi subconsciously grabbed the other person’s neck and quickly threw him to the ground.

It then pulled out the sword attached to its back, ready to chop off Optimus Prime’s head, but soon, as the calibration of its visual sensors was completed, Megatron recognized Optimus Prime’s face.

“It’s you, Optimus Prime!”

Optimus Prime put down the sword in his hand and got up from the opponent’s body. His first reaction when he saw Optimus Prime was a little surprised.

Because Optimus Prime is his good student, although he cannot reach a consensus with him on rebuilding the new Cybertron, Optimus Prime is still very obedient in other aspects.

Of course, the reason why Optimus Prime still has a good impression on him is mainly because he doesn’t know that his Ark engine device was destroyed by the other party.

When they saw Optimus Prime suddenly attack, the surrounding Autobots and Hunter mechas immediately became nervous, if it weren’t for V, the person in charge of the base, who spoke up to stop him in time.

At this moment, Yu Tiandi has been attacked by concentrated fire.

【Keep calm and don’t fire! 】

After being reminded by V, the Autobots and the Hunter Mech Team did not attack Megatron until Megatron put down Optimus Prime, and then they felt relieved.

At this moment, V also began to examine Yu Tiandi through the holographic screen.

Yu Tiandi has a standard villain face and looks like a rough warrior at first glance.

It is hard for people to associate it with the identity of the Autobots’ chief scientist.

Here, after meeting his teacher and former boss again, Optimus Prime stood up again and looked at him with mixed feelings.

“Yu Tiandi, you are safe now. No one here can threaten your life.”

Although Optimus Prime already knew about Megatron’s conspiracy, he did not intend to reveal the truth directly in front of the other party.

Let Yu Tiandi calm down first. It won’t be too late to settle the score slowly after he returns to the headquarters of the Wanjie Base with me.

Skyforge nodded. After seeing the Autobots beside him and familiar faces like Bumblebee and Ironhide among a bunch of unfamiliar Transformers, he felt a little relieved.

Before the Ark crashed, Megatron had always suspected that it was the Decepticons who attacked him, and the purpose of those bastards was naturally to compete for the source of fire.

Obviously, maybe Megatron never thought about cooperating with him at all, but just wanted to trick him into taking the lead and then follow him to find the source of the fire.

‘Damn you Decepticons!’

Yu Tiandi cursed in his heart.

“Leader, we are always here.”

At this time, Ironhide spoke. On the surface, it was greeting Yu Tiandi, but the cannon in its hand was glowing with the light of being fully charged.

It seems that if Yu Tiandi makes any abnormal behavior, it will fire a cannon at Yu Tiandi at any time, causing the opponent to fall into a sleeping state again.

After the Skybreaker’s gaze rested on Ironhide for a moment, it nodded, then continued to look at Optimus Prime and asked:

“How that war turned out.”

The newly awakened Megatron only trusts his good disciple Megatron. He doesn’t know how long he has been sleeping, and now he just wants to get more information as soon as possible.

Especially the situation inside Cybertron, the ultimate civil war between the Decepticons and the Autobots.

“We both suffered heavy losses in this fight. Now Cybertron is finished. It is no longer suitable for us to live there…”

Optimus Prime said in a low voice, as if recalling a past event that he couldn’t bear to recall.

In that civil war, the gap in strength between the Autobots and the Decepticons was too great. Especially after Megatron left, the demoralized Autobots finally collapsed.

Eventually, the war between the two sides developed to the stage where they launched destructive weapons at each other. These weapons exacerbated the collapse of Cybertron and completely turned it into a “Death Star”.

A large number of Cybertronians are scattered throughout the universe, and the core members of the Autobots and Decepticons have basically come to Earth.

“We found a refuge in the solar system and established an alliance with the humans here.”

While explaining to Optimus Prime, he stared at his opponent’s face the whole time, observing his emotional changes through visual sensors.

It knew that the original purpose of Yu Tiandi was not only to recover the source of fire, but also to find a new habitable place.

Coincidentally, the earth is a very good place. Whether it is to collect energy or to build a “self-built house” on it, it is a good choice.

As expected, after learning that the Autobots and humans had reached an alliance, Megatron’s expression changed from initial anger and regret to a hint of embarrassment.

But soon, Yu Tiandi covered up these emotions, as if they had never happened. It knew that it now needed more information.

“Optimus Prime, where are the energy pillars on the Ark? Do you see them?”

At this moment, Yu Tiandi came to his senses and looked at the Ark which had turned into wreckage behind him. He instantly remembered his precious energy column.

That is the key energy tool to open the space bridge and connect to Cybertron. If it loses this thing, it can only completely abandon Cybertron and build a new Cybertron on Earth first.

“We have found the energy pillars on the Ark, but there are only five of them.” Optimus Prime told the truth.

“Five? How can that be? There should be hundreds!”

Yu Tiandi was very surprised, and then became angry. This amount of energy column was simply not enough to activate the space bridge and complete the traction procedure to Cybertron.

Seeing Optimus Prime’s anxious look, Optimus Prime didn’t say anything.

There were indeed hundreds of energy pillars on the Ark, but most of them were secretly moved to Earth by the Decepticons and used as backup energy for fighting.

After the Decepticons surrendered to the Universe Corporation, these energy pillars fell into the hands of the Corporation, and only these five remained on the entire Ark. “Where are the rest of the energy pillars?!”

Yu Tiandi suddenly raised his voice and said seriously: “We must not let the Decepticons get these energy pillars, otherwise we will be completely finished.”

The energy column is the only entrepreneurial tool of the Archenemy, and it is also his only capital to negotiate with the Decepticons.

Without the energy column, it would be impossible to achieve celestial jump relying solely on its space bridge technology.

“The rest of the energy pillars are on Earth. Also, it was the humans who helped us find you.”

Optimus Prime was silent for two seconds, then opened his mouth to answer Megatron’s question.

It is also hinting to its teacher Yu Tiandi that the current situation is under human control, and even the Autobots cannot escape human constraints.

“Humanity?!”

Yu Tiandi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the hunter mecha team around him. Only then did he realize what was going on.

These “Transformers” with highly similar appearances are not original authentic products at all, but products of human imitation!

No wonder I felt something was wrong just now.

“How could you give the technology of Cybertron civilization to humans and let them create such ugly things!”

Optimus Prime roared angrily and questioned Optimus Prime in public.

If its behavior was a mistake, then what Optimus Prime did was a betrayal of the civilization of his race, which was more serious than violating ancestral teachings!
Before Optimus Prime could make an explanation, William Cage, the captain of the Hunter Mecha Team, stepped forward and said:

“This is a mecha developed by humans. It has nothing to do with your Cybertron civilization.”

“In addition, the energy column you want is in our hands. If you want it, you should actively cooperate with us!”

Cage’s words calmed down the Skyward Dipper instantly. It didn’t have time to think about the technical issues at this moment. It just wanted to get its energy column back as soon as possible.

“I’m telling you, that thing is very dangerous. You must return it to me. Otherwise, if it is leaked or the Decepticons get it, the entire human civilization will suffer a devastating disaster!”

Yu Tiandi threatened Cage by shouting, trying to make him realize the seriousness of the problem, but Cage’s reaction was calm, and even had a hint of disdain.

It felt like watching a joke.

The members of the nearby Hunter Mecha Team also began to gather around, showing an attitude that they were eager to capture Yu Tiandi.

“Why, don’t you believe what I say?!”

Yu Tiandi continued to question, but his momentum was obviously three points weaker than before.

It has just woken up and is still a little confused about the current situation. The humans here are not afraid of Transformers. Could it be that human technological development has surpassed the Cybertron civilization?

At this time, Optimus Prime took the terminal server from Bumblebee and placed the device in front of the Skybreaker. He said in a deep voice:

“Yu Tiandi, I know you are confused about many things right now. Once you connect this device, you will immediately understand our current situation.”

This terminal server was prepared by the Universal Giant Enterprise for Yu Tiandi, with the purpose of letting the other party know about recent events as soon as possible to avoid wasting time.

At first, Optimus Prime was a little wary of this device, but after looking at Optimus Prime, he chose to trust his eldest disciple, pulled out several data cables from his arms, and plugged them into the server.

In an instant, a vast amount of information forcefully penetrated into Yu Tiandi’s information processor.

After a while, it understood most of the truth.

Of course, there is some necessary confidential information that has not yet been revealed to Yutiandi. What it knows now is only what the giant enterprise wants it to know.

Yu Tiandi turned his head and looked at the members of the Hunter Mecha Team. It turned out that these ugly things were all “inferior imitations” made by giant companies in the world.

But what makes Yutiandi feel even more bizarre than the existence of the Hunter Mecha Team is the Giant Enterprise, a super civilization from another universe.

At this moment, Yu Tiandi wanted to escape from here to avoid being controlled by others, but he had just awakened from a deep sleep, and many parts of his body had already rusted.

Even if there is more energy, it cannot support itself to leave the solar system. At this moment, Yu Tiandi is in urgent need of a series of maintenance.

All of this requires human help.

“I need to rest now.”

Yu Tiandi shook his head, as if trying to get rid of some of the confusing information sources, and said to Cage:

“Since the energy column is with you, I’ll give it to you for safekeeping for now. I’ll get it later.”

At this moment, Optimus Prime has not yet figured out what to do next, so he needs to calm down and think carefully.

And Optimus Prime nodded and said, “Come with us. With your current physical condition, you do need repairs.”

Optimus Prime said so, but he knew very well that what awaited Optimus Prime next would be the judgment and interrogation of Megacorp, which would force him to obey orders.

At this moment, Optimus Prime knew nothing about this. While following Optimus Prime to Earth, it was still thinking about how to remove the energy column and open the space bridge to tow Cybertron.

……

Three hours later, at the frontline base on Earth, Megatron, which had just completed a full set of repairs, was imprisoned the next second before it could reconnect with the Decepticons, ready to be judged by Megacorp.

The team responsible for interrogating Autobots this time includes Commander-in-Chief V, as well as Autobot core members such as Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.

As the interrogation process gradually deepened, Yu Tiandi, whose leadership module had been removed, was left with only a rotten core to support his heavy body.

When fatigue and high pressure hit at the same time, its mentality gradually collapsed.

However, once Megatron knows what he has done, it will bring trouble to the Autobots and Cybertron.

Only then did it realize how much trouble its previous wrong behavior had caused.

In fact, if Yu Tiandi continues to be stubborn, the adverse impact caused by his good intentions but bad deeds will become even more serious!
Because if the original plot develops, the Titans will use the space bridge to forcibly pull the planet Cybertron in the Alpha Centauri system, 4.5 light-years away from the solar system.

But during this process, other Autobots interfered, causing Cybertron to be destroyed in the collapse of the wormhole.

Cybertron is the birthplace of the Transformers species and the remains of Yuanshi Tianzun, although it has become a desolate planet due to the Cybertron Civil War.

But the value of Yuanshi Tianzun to the world’s giant companies is immeasurable!

Leon’s next goal is to obtain Cybertron and capture the sleeping Yuanshi Tianzun.

In this case, it is certainly impossible for Leon to easily let the Skybreaker open the space bridge device and forcibly pull Cybertron over.

The civil war between these “filial sons and grandsons” destroyed the remains of their own ancestors. This action is quite explosive in the entire universe.

If Yuanshi Tianzun’s corpse was really swallowed by the wormhole, it would be impossible for the Universe Giant Enterprise to salvage it again.

After all, the existing scientific research capabilities of giant companies have not yet reached the level of being able to comprehend wormholes, black holes, and higher dimensions. At most, they can use matter decompressors to extract minerals from black holes.

Therefore, after the Universal Corporation has won over the Autobots and Decepticons, the next thing it needs to do is naturally to help the Cybertronians “visit” their ancestor Yuanshi Tianzun again.

Let’s see if we can get some more gold coins or something from Lao Deng’s body.

However, this exploration plan cannot be separated from the help of Yu Tiandi.

As of now, the Cosmic Corporation has learned the coordinates of Cybertron through the Decepticons.

Cybertron is only a few light years away from the solar system. With the giant company’s superluminal warships, it will only take a short while to reach the destination.

However, the road conditions inside Cybertron still require a Transformer who is familiar with Cybertron to lead the way.

And Yu Tiandi is the best candidate.

Because as a veteran of Cybertron and the former leader of the Autobots, Maxime must know the internal situation of his own planet better than young people like Optimus Prime.

And in essence, Megatron is not an out-and-out villain. It is just trying to save Cybertron civilization in its own way.

It’s a pity that the harder he worked, the further he was from his goal, and he even stood on the opposite side of the Autobots.

For such a character, as long as you make your words clear and lay out the conditions, he will make the right choice on his own.

“Yu Tiandi, on behalf of the Universal Corporation, I am now giving you a chance to start over. Join our camp and take us to the planet Cybertron.”

After V revealed the whole truth and the current situation to Yu Tiandi, he directly put forward his own demands and conditions.

Of course, even if Megatron agrees to join the Universal Corporation, he can no longer appear in public. He can only appear after the integration of the Transformers universe is completed.

Therefore, this mission to explore Cybertron was carried out in high secrecy throughout the process, with the aim of minimizing unnecessary trouble.

“No need to say more, I join you.”

Yu Tiandi is not an iron-headed kid. After figuring out the whole origin, it knows that in the current situation, cooperating with the world giant enterprise is the best choice.

With its current bargaining chips and capabilities, even if it forcibly pulls Cybertron over, what can it do?

Extracting the earth’s energy and rebuilding Cybertron requires the cooperation of countless Autobots and Transformers. It cannot be done by itself.

But if we stand on the side of the giant corporations, there is still a possibility for the revival of Cybertron civilization!
