chapter 477: Blood of Unicron

After the Battle of Blade City, the Cybertron Civil War became stalemate again. The overall strength of the Autobots was still weaker than that of the Decepticons, but they had the flying Transformers led by Skyfire and the giant Combiners built by Ratchet, and their military technology was back to the same starting line. They no longer had to organize retreats and abandon cities as before, and they were already capable of a head-on decisive battle. Three large-scale battles broke out in succession, namely the Battle of Cloud Mountain City, the Battle of Dawn Highlands, and the Battle of Shensi New City.

In the Cloud Mountain City, the Autobots struggled to resist the Decepticons' attack, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

At Dawn Highlands, Ultra Magnus led the Thunderbolt Rescue Team in a hard battle to resist the Decepticon attack.

The city of Sensi is a gathering place for philosophers, thinkers and educators. After the invasion of Sensi, Megatron, who was so angry that he lost his mind, ordered a massacre of the city because he refused to submit to the Decepticons. All citizens of Sensi who were unwilling to join the Decepticons were executed. This was the first time such a vicious incident of massacre had occurred since the outbreak of the civil war. For a moment, the whole Cybertron was shocked.

The massacre of a city has two sides. On the one hand, many neutral Cybertronians are even more disgusted and disgusted with the Decepticons and Megatron. But on the other hand, many cities are afraid of suffering the same fate, so they surrender without any resistance when Megatron leads the Decepticon army to arrive.

Since Qing Ming was allowed to access the Cybertron data network, he has been working hard to explore and search carefully, trying to find clues about the "Iron Ankylosaur Orbital Station" so that he can predict what actions the enemy will take next.

What was it that Red Spider would rather miss the battle of Blade City and ignore the incident in Qingqiu City to protect?

Fu Qinghai and Optimus Prime were very curious.

However, Qingming never found anything. The person who erased the data had very advanced skills. Deleting data is not an easy task. It actually requires a very deep technical level to leave no trace of fragments. Optimus Prime didn't even know which data recorder in the Iron Castle Data Hall had this ability.

Megatron was equally curious.

There is no artificial intelligence in the Decepticon camp.

But they were the first to break through.

…

Cybertron, Charon City.

Megatron was pacing around fidgetingly.

To be honest, he was tired of this battle. It was time to end the war so that he could start rebuilding Cybertron, a vision he had been looking forward to for a long time.

Perhaps it was this kind of boredom and impatience that prompted Megatron to make the decision to massacre the city. He didn't want to waste any more time fighting with Optimus Prime and the Autobots. He wanted to end the battle quickly so that he could lead "his" Cybertron to greatness again.

At this point in the civil war, both sides had nothing left to fight with. They had run out of ammunition and food and could only retreat to their respective positions.

Megatron realized that as the initiator of the war, the Decepticons might need to make some changes. Megatron knew very well that victory could not be won by numbers or training alone. Therefore, he gave Soundwave an order to find ancient relics or ancient technologies that could be used on the battlefield.

If Fu Qinghai knew about this.

He would definitely sigh: There is nothing new under the sun. When a war reaches a certain point, one side will inevitably want to find some solutions from the dead. In ancient times, there was Cao Cao, and in modern times, there was Sun Dianying, both of whom relied on tomb robbing to raise military funds. However, Megatron is different from the above two. He does not want to raise military funds through tomb robbing - tomb robbing cannot dig out super-energy bodies, but he wants to find some ancient relics and technology to turn the tide of the war.

All the actions gradually bore fruit.

Sound waves have made a major breakthrough.

This information is about the "Iron Ankylosaur Orbital Station".

It came from the spies he planted next to Starscream.

After the RoboDog lost contact, the Hun Tian Pan convoy was ambushed immediately. Megatron didn't believe that there was no connection between the two events. But since Soundwave made up for his mistake and was the first to find the information of the Ankylosaurus orbital station, Megatron didn't continue to pursue the matter of RoboDog and Hun Tian Pan.

"Dark super energy body."

This is the only keyword that Soundwave found.

"Dark super energy body? What is that?"

Megatron wondered.

Soundwave had obviously done his homework in advance. When he heard his leader's question, he immediately explained in a serious manner:

"After my Mini-King Kong spy sent back the key information about 'Dark Super Energy Body', I immediately went to look up relevant information. According to records, the Dark Super Energy Body is related to Unicron. After Unicron was expelled from Cybertron, what was left behind is now the Dark Super Energy Body. Just like the Super Energy Body is believed to be the blood of Yuanshi Tianzun, the Dark Super Energy Body is believed to be the blood of Unicron."

Soundwave explained patiently.

Megatron understood.

Every element has its opposite. The super energy body is the source of life and action for all Transformers. Its opposite element is the dark super energy body. The dark super energy body contains huge energy, even far more than the super energy body... but no one knows the consequences of using it. There have been records and warnings about it in ancient texts.

Soundwave once thought that the warnings in ancient texts were nothing more than feudal superstitious nonsense, but now it seems that he has reason to believe in its existence.

Megatron called Shockwave over.

The three Decepticons had a discussion.

"If the legend of the dark super energy body is true."

Megatron looked at his two men and said in a deep voice,

"Then we may be able to find a way to completely solve the energy shortage problem, and then annihilate all the Autobots and the treacherous Optimus Prime once and for all!"

Although he still didn't know what the dark super energy body was, according to the ancient archives that Soundwave had found, after Unicron was defeated, his living fragments orbited Cybertron, slowly entered low-Earth orbit, and then aggregated into a substance with the same density as clouds.

"My guess is that the ancient Cybertronians knew that this substance was extremely dangerous - as dangerous as Unicron himself, so they sealed it away in the Ironclad Orbital Station... Perhaps the Ironclad Orbital Station was built for this purpose."

Shockwave expressed his opinion cautiously.

"According to some scattered records, the dark super energy body is both a source of energy and connected to the origin of the Universe Emperor. After Yuanshi Tianzun destroyed the Universe Emperor, his forbidden energy needed an outlet. These energies poured out and then slowly accumulated together to become the dark super energy body. This also explains why Red Spider refused to return to the planet."

Soundwave voiced his opinion.

In essence, it is still a way to put some eye drops on Megatron.

"I think you're right, Soundwave."

Megatron narrowed his eyes and whispered.

He felt it was time to have a talk with the captain of his search team. Megatron had to make sure that all the actions of the Decepticons were under his control.

…

"They found it."

Master Titanium muttered to himself while sitting in the study.

A text has just appeared on Cybertron Covenant, and this is what has happened so far.

No one had ever used the Dark Super Energy Body in the past, and no one had ever considered such a thing. Because it was Master Titanium himself who had personally erased all the reports and files related to the Iron Dragon Orbital Station and the Dark Super Energy Body from the data network. Those were reports sent by the Cybertron expedition team a long time ago, and they recommended isolating the Dark Super Energy Body.

So Qingming searched the Internet but found nothing.

What changes and effects would the use of the Dark Super Energy Body have on the Cybertronians? Master Titanium was not very clear, but he had read some fragments of the future, which made him feel deeply terrified. The damage and losses caused were even greater than the civil war itself. He saw the Dark Super Energy Body poisoning the entire Cybertron planet for millions of cycles.

The planet withered and died.

So Master Titanium erased the information. He wanted both sides of the civil war to not know what was in the Ankylosaurus orbital station. But things did not go as planned. Starscream knew about it and was secretly studying it. Now Megatron also knew about it. The civil war was sliding into an abyss, an abyss that Master Titanium could not control or predict. Would Cybertron be destroyed because of this?

Master Titanium imagined this scene.

This breaks my heart.

But he can't change.

He didn't dare to change.

He can see the future, but he can't say anything. He can only carry this burden alone and move forward silently.

"Perhaps this is the process that Cybertron must go through - a kind of nirvana, after which it can be reborn."

Master Titanium comforted himself in his heart.

......

　1. I personally don't like the settings of "super energy body", "dark super energy body", "light force" and "dark force". I think this kind of black and white good and evil dualism is childish. The simple and crude settings of these sci-fi IPs in the early days may also be to cater to young audiences. After all, the world is not black and white. Warhammer 40K does this very well - all the characters are villains, which is very novel. However, these classic IPs have developed into modern times. Many screenwriters and authors have joined in the creation and added a lot of rich content to them. The opposition between the camps is no longer so simple, so adults can also watch it.
