A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 458 - 345

Chapter 458: 345

Chapter 458: 345

But Optimus Prime just wanted to be the good old man! He was even willing to sacrifice everything for his own principles!

Thus, Megatron couldn’t help but worry. What if Optimus Prime acquired The Source of Spark? Would he willingly sacrifice The Source of Spark, along with the future of Cybertron, for his so-called principles?

This was Megatron’s biggest mistrust towards Optimus Prime!

In his viewpoint, if a leader wishes to lead his forces to rise and develop, they must be firm! But Optimus Prime would prefer to sacrifice everything for his boring principles and emotions! Moreover, many robots were moved by his sweet words, believing that what he was doing was right!

How ridiculous! Would allowing Cybertron to go extinct and all the robots on Cybertron to die be in accordance with these principles?

Absolutely foolish!

Thinking of this, Megatron snorted coldly. As the leader of the Decepticons, he was determined to make the whole Cybertron rise again, becoming the ruler of the universe, and his goal was just within his reach!!

“Boom!!”

Having broken through another thick steel wall, Megatron paused and looked up. Right in front of him, deep into the massive cave, there was a huge object standing, several dozen meters tall. Its exterior was rectangular, carved with countless mysterious symbols and patterns. Upon seeing this huge object, a trace of joy appeared in Megatron’s eyes.

It was what he had been searching for… The Source of Spark!

Of course, Megatron alone couldn’t move such a huge Source of Spark, but he didn’t need to. Because… Megatron knew the secret of The Source of Spark!

Looking at The Source of Spark, Megatron took a deep breath and then walked to the bottom of it, extending his hand to put it on The Source of Spark. He then started to rub it slowly, and as Megatron performed this motion, The Source of Spark that seemed to be sealed for a long time also began to change—— it decomposed into several cubes like a Rubik’s cube, overlapping each other, rapidly shrinking. Soon, the giant cube, originally several dozen meters tall, transformed into a small cube that could be held in one hand by Megatron!

“The Source of Spark… I finally got it!”

Looking at the cube calmly lying in his hand, Megatron was extremely excited.

The Source of Spark, he finally got The Source of Spark. With this, the revival of Cybertron was just around the corner!

When he returned to Cybertron, he would be the new supreme ruler, a true king……!

However, just as Megatron was lost in his fantasies, suddenly, the Source of Spark in his hand flew up and disappeared into the darkness like it was attracted by something!

“What’s going on?!”

The duck in his grasp had flown away, Megatron was infuriated. He hurriedly looked up in the direction where The Source of Spark had flown, only to see a tall figure in Power Armor standing there, staring at him. And what he was holding in his hand was The Source of Spark.

“Who are you? Give The Source of Spark back to me!”

While speaking, Megatron also raised his weapon and aimed it at the mysterious figure.

“Give it back to you?”

Hearing Megatron’s roar, Duanmu Huai sneered and then tossed the cube in his hand.

“This was originally ours, why should I give it back to you?”

“You……”‘

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s response, Megatron was left speechless.

So there were such shameless individuals?

“Alright, I got what I came for, so it’s about time I left.”

Having finished his sentence, Duanmu Huai’s body flashed with brilliance, and in the next moment, he disappeared right in front of Megatron.’

Seeing this, Megatron was even more infuriated.

“Ah… Ahhhhhhhh!! Damn it, I’m going to catch you and I will reclaim The Source of Spark!!”

While roaring with rage, Megatron fired angrily at the spot where Duanmu Huai had just stood. Of course, this achieved nothing except bringing down some debris and stones.

“Megatron!!”

While Megatron was helplessly furious, Optimus Prime also stormed in angrily. Currently, he was also covered in injuries – it seemed that those Skynet robots outside hadn’t given him an easy time.

But just when Optimus Prime was preparing to fight with Megatron to retrieve The Source of Spark from him, he was surprised to see Megatron’s current helpless and furious state.

“What’s… what’s happened to you? Where is the Source of Spark?”

“It was stolen!!”

Megatron was so furious at the moment that he was about to lose his mind, that was his catch, how could it just fly away?!

“Stolen?”

Upon hearing Megatron’s reply, Optimus Prime was taken aback.

“By who?”

“I don’t know, but it’s very likely the force that attacked us before…”

“This happened too?”

Optimus Prime doubted if Megatron was lying, but he didn’t look like it. So, he furrowed his brows, giving Megatron a glance, and then started speaking.

“Anyway, we should get out of here fast, there will be more from the Mechanical Legion incoming. If we don’t leave, we……”

However, before Optimus Prime could finish speaking, suddenly, the entire cave shuddered violently. In the next moment, the thick rock wall and cement wall disintegrated instantly. When he looked up, all he could see was a dazzling white light, which filled up his entire field of vision.

An aqua green plasma beam came thundering down, completely swallowing up the figures of Optimus Prime and Megatron.

“Target has been completely destroyed.”

“Hmm, good.”

Hearing the report, Duanmu Huai nodded. He couldn’t possibly leave these robots behind, regardless of whether they were alive or dead. In case the wreckage of these robots was taken by Skynet and then analyzed to create more powerful robots, that could be troublesome.

Besides this, there is another problem.

This thing he’s holding.

“Oh… This is such a bother.”

Duanmu Huai lowered his head, looking at the Source of Spark in his hand, and sighed helplessly.

In the beginning, Duanmu Huai intended to smash the Source of Spark along with the two alien robots. But what he didn’t expect was that when he found the Source of Spark following the clue, the system surprisingly alerted him to the presence of a [Dark Artifact]!

Good grief, this thing was actually a product of the Dark Age of Mankind?!

Needless to say, this news startled Duanmu Huai. But after thinking about it, he felt it could be possible. After all, it was well known that the Dark Age of Mankind was incredibly significant, and human beings created a massive amount of mechanical artifacts at the time. Based on the information he previously gathered, this thing called the Source of Spark can bestow intelligence and life to inanimate machines, it might well be the thing that the Golden Age humans used to create Iron Men!

The problem is just that this thing is too huge for Duanmu Huai to transport back. So, he decided to leave it behind and observe what these robots might do———Well, thanks to Megatron for being of help.

[Dark Artifact—The Source of Spark（Damaged）]

[Sacred artifact from the Dark Age of Mankind, which can transform a machine into a sentient robot. However, it is damaged due to a flaw in its internal structure and logic]

“Hmm… what should I do with this thing…”

Looking at the Source of Spark in his hand, Duanmu Huai seemed indecisive. In reality, he really wanted to exchange this for something else. After all, the rebellion of the Iron Men was a mandatory course for Judges. The humans in the Dark Age had created sentient robots to fight alien races in the Milky Way, but later, Iron Men thought they were far superior to humans whose survival in the Milky Way depended solely on them. This resulted in the rebellion of Iron Men.

The rebellion swept through the entire Milky Way that compared to it, Horus’s rebellion and the Dark Expedition were like a drop in the bucket. Of course, in the end, the rebellion was put down, but humans suffered heavily, were greatly damaged, and many of the technologies of the Golden Age and even the Dark Age were lost.

Because of this, the Human Empire strictly prohibited the creation of similar mechanical lifeforms.

As a Judge, Duanmu Huai, of course, would not be foolish enough to violate the Crimson Protocol.

But on the other hand, this is the first Dark Age human artifact he got.

If this were placed in a museum, it would be the museum’s treasure!

“Hmm…”

After contemplating for a while, Duanmu Huai made a decision.

“I’ll put this thing in the library for analysis first, see if we can extract any useful technology from it, and then decide what to do.”
