Chapter 482 Death of the Leader

Cybertron, Qingqiu City.

Megatron led the Decepticons into the air command center.

"No Starscream, Boss."

A subordinate came to report.

"Arrogant and ignorant."

Someone was talking in the darkness, and a faintly glowing human figure moved in the shadows.

Megatron stopped and raised his hand to signal all the commandos to stop, and the man slowly walked out.

It turned out to be Yu Tiandi!

Megatron had no idea why he was here - the world had a surprise in store for him.

The Enemy of Heaven stood in the center of the spacious room:

"It seems you are the one who calls himself Megatron."

Megatron felt that the gladiators around him were extremely shocked - the enemy was still alive, he managed to escape? What was most unbelievable was that he was still ready to fight?

It's Starscream... Megatron thought.

He did it, and he has to pay for it.

But first we have to eliminate the natural enemies, because no matter what, there can only be one leader in any era.

"Don't blame your men. They are not at fault."

The Archenemy looked at Megatron and said,

"It was my fault for letting the Decepticons act and allowing you to survive in the Wasteland and Charon. If you had been destroyed there, all of Cybertron would have been much better off."

"My mistake is irreversible."

Megatron continued to reflect on himself:

"But at least it can be made up. Your war ends here, Megatron. Surrender now, Cybertron will regain peace, and you will live. This is my promise."

"You forgot there is another possibility."

Megatron said coldly:

"I defeat you, the war goes on, and I am still alive. Once I gain control of the plasma energy chamber, the Autobots will be doomed. You think too highly of yourself."

"Do you still remember that before the war started, you were just one of the gladiator leaders in the killing field?"

Yu Tiandi asked.

Megatron did not answer.

Yu Tiandi continued:

"I heard that someone was killed in the arena, so I sent two officials to investigate. Do you remember those two people?"

Megatron still said nothing.

"You killed them to protect your men."

Yu Tiandi said calmly:

"You later formed an organization and launched a revolution, but you have been a murderer from beginning to end. Megatron, no matter what title you give yourself, you are a murderer."

"What if I really killed them?"

Megatron asked back:

"What are two mere officials compared to the countless tragedies caused by your class?"

"So is this how you convince yourself? Or do you think you have to wait until Optimus Prime destroys you before you can convince yourself this way?"

"Optimus Prime is just a librarian!"

This sentence touched Megatron's sore spot.

He roared,

"It was that rigid and corrupt Supreme Council that appointed him as the leader. He was just a lackey of Master Titanium before, and now he is a lackey of the entire Supreme Council."

Megatron drew his sword with a clang.

He felt that all the weapons in his body were eager to try.

"I don't want to waste any more time on you now, Yu Tiandi. You're blocking my way, get out of the way or die."

Yu Tiandi's dazzling energy sword suddenly emerged from the dim air and slashed over in an instant.

"I am still the enemy of nature, the thug!"

The old Cybertronian roared,

"I was fighting for the future of Cybertron before you existed. I was already fighting when you first crawled out of the Allspark Well."

"I will continue to fight after you are gone."

Megatron says:

"The future will eventually replace the past."

The two swords collided violently.

Megatron blocked the full force attack from the Titanoid.

The Archenemy deflected Megatron's sideways attack.

"My way of making amends is to create a better future, a future that is better than the one I allowed in the past."

Yu Tiandi said as he fought.

Megatron nodded sarcastically.

"Well said. When your body falls to the ground and becomes a pile of scrap metal, I will carve this sentence on your tombstone."

The dark super energy body circulated in his body. He blocked every sword of Megatron. When he was stabbed by the sword, the pain made him particularly excited. The dark super energy body absorbed the pain and turned it into strength. When Megatron's sword hit Megatron, the former leader could only rely on his own will and super energy body to fight against it.

Soon, Megatron gained the upper hand.

First, he stabbed the thigh with a sword, and then cut it from the base to the knee, and metal fragments flew everywhere. Then he threw the tyrant to the ground, and the two began to wrestle. Megatron was younger and more agile, and he had the power of the dark super energy body. He hit the tyrant's head with great force, and sparks flew. Finally, the former leader of Cybertron pushed Megatron away with the last bit of will, stood up again, and held the sword tightly in his hand.

"You can kill me, Megatron,"

Yu Tiandi said weakly:

"I sense the element of Unicron in your body. It gives you a power that ordinary people cannot resist."

"You should say 'irresistible force'?"

Megatron smiled, feeling very strong and energetic, as if he had just started a battle.

Yu Tiandi once again assumed a fighting stance:

"Everything has a price. The universe doesn't give anything away for free. The same goes for Unicron."

Megatron raised his sword in salute, and this time there was no mockery. The Archenemy was a worthy opponent, but now the battle was over.

They started the final round of fighting.

Sparks flew when the two swords collided.

Megatron cut off one of Megatron's arms with one sword.

"ah--"

Yu Tiandi's cry was his regret for all his failures and all his unfinished business.

Megatron left a deep wound on the other arm of the Archon, and then slashed again, Archon staggering and barely avoiding it, "crack, crack, crack", Megatron kept slashing into Archon's body. Megatron drew his sword, Archon fell to his knees, raising his last arm to try to block the next attack, and Megatron cut his arm off at the elbow.

"You were a great leader."

Megatron looked down at the Arch-Necromancer,

"But you grew weak, and Cybertron grew weak. I will make it strong again."

He raised his sword high, dark energy flashing on the tip of the sword, and then delivered a final blow, which shattered Yutian's armor from neck to belt, including the mark of the great leader Yin Tianxing hung on the belt of Yutian's enemy.

Yu Tiandi fell to one side, his limbs twitching and shaking, and after a few seconds, the former leader was motionless. The fire in his eyes was still emitting a dying light, but it was so faint that it could only be seen in the dark.

"Bitstream."

Megatron yelled:

"Where is the code key for justice?"

"It's very close, Chief."

The scientist replied:

"Look inside Yu Tiandi's body."

…

Wait until Optimus Prime arrives at Qingqiu City.

Megatron has already taken his men away.

Finally, the Autobots dug out Megatron from the ruins of the Aerial Command Center. The Cybertronians were very tenacious, and the former leader was not completely dead, but was only breathing his last, with his body half buried in the ruins.

"Sir, scout the surrounding area."

"Police car, set up defensive cover."

Optimus Prime gave two orders in succession.

"leader."

Optimus Prime knelt down beside Megatron, whose body was crisscrossed with wounds from Megatron's search for the code key, his back was melted and scorched, and there were older scars around his limbs, indicating the brutal treatment he had suffered in prison.

"Don't call me that." said Yu Tiandi.

"But you are indeed a leader," said Optimus Prime.

"Not anymore. You are the true leader."

The dying Yu Tiandi said:

"The Supreme Council has gotten a lot of things wrong in the past, but this is the right decision - for whatever reason they made it."

"I never wanted to take your power away from you."

Optimus said.

"I believe in you." Yu Tiandi said slowly, "But the title of leader must be passed on to someone else. I have been a leader for too long and am no longer competent. I hope you can become a true leader who is more worthy of the title than I am."

"You have always been a true leader."

Optimus Prime said sadly:

"People don't forget."

Optimus Prime closed his eyes and lay in silence for a while. Optimus Prime almost thought he was dead. Then, Optimus Prime did not open his eyes, but continued with his eyes closed:

"There are still some things you need to do."

"Tell me about it."

"You go find the core of the planet."

Yu Tiandi said slowly:

"I heard that voice, and it's getting weaker. Megatron, that idiot, is obsessed with the dark super energy body. If we don't take action, Cybertron will be destroyed."

A hole popped up on Yu Tiandi's chest, and a holographic projection was played out. Inside the projection was a complex three-dimensional map, winding and twisting its way to the underground.

Yu Tiandi let out a long sigh:

"And all of us..."

These were his last words.

Optimus waited a moment.

The fire of the enemy left.

The Cybertronian turned into a cold machine.

"Sir, take his body back to the Iron Keep."

Optimus Prime stood up and said solemnly,

"Everyone else, let's go underground."
