Volume 8: The Fourth Impact Chapter 68: Have you ever seen something that even a star destroyer can't deal with? Now you have seen it
“That number doesn’t seem right.”
The team led by Mason, led by his adjutant Magneto, pushed all the way to the Star Destroyer Weapon Fortress in the Metal World. He originally thought that the Cybertronians would try to retake this place, but until the Aurora device began to be automatically built, he did not see many robots with names appear in front of him.
From beginning to end, there were only some weak mechanical cannon fodder launching stubborn attacks, but facing Magneto who had already controlled the world's magnetic field, such an offensive was really not enough.
"Are you saying there are too many of them?"
Damian asked, as he held up a gun beside Mason and shot down the lightweight robots flying in the sky. Mason shook his head and said:
"No, too little! Such an Earth that is two-thirds metalized should have given birth to a true Cybertron civilization, a world composed entirely of mechanical life.
But look here, not only are the number of robots small but the quality is also very poor. I can't even see a real Cybertron warrior. They are all cannon fodder that can be dealt with by bullets.
I feel like something is not right here.”
"Speaking of quantity, don't these guys need an assembly shop at all?"
Xiao Qiao, who was hanging beside Mason, glanced at the dark robot line at the end of the steel plain on the ground and said:
"It seems to me that they are automatically generated from a large metal garbage dump nearby? I also saw several pieces of robot wreckage put together to form new robots.
Although it looks similar to the bionic robots in the world of Shinto, it seems that they are not the same creatures. "
“They are true silicon-based life, Xiao Qiao.
The mechanical appearance of these guys is just a deformation they use to adapt to the environment. The real Cybertronians are a kind of versatile machines that can simulate almost everything they see.
In a mechanical way, of course.
So you can think of them as metal versions of the Skrulls, but of course, the technology they master, especially in engineering and mechanics, is much more advanced than the Skrulls."
Mason observed the progress of the magnetic field fusion of the two worlds through the energy readings of his watch. He explained to the children of Team K:
"These guys don't rely on assembly, they have something called a protosome or a primitive circuit board inside them that acts as a brain or embryo, depending on how you interpret it.
Once they are injected with a special energy called "spark", they will be born and grow in the true sense. These robots are difficult to kill completely unless the spark is extinguished.
They also can't feel pain unless they are attacked by strong energy for a long time. Once you encounter a real Cybertron warrior, it will definitely be a tough battle for you. These guys' firepower projection and super endurance make them very suitable for destruction.
I heard that there is a group of Cybertronians who are like superheroes and call themselves Autobots , but seeing how the world has been destroyed, I think the Autobots are finished. "
"So this is a world where superheroes lose and mechanical villains win?"
Blue Beetle sat aside and pushed the Isu Laser Tower to operate automatically. He asked with the same interest as if he was listening to a story:
"Does that mean we don't have to show mercy when we encounter those robot villains? Can I take some of the 'sparks' that can give life to the machines and take them back for research?
The scarab said it was very interested in this thing.”
"As long as you can find it, it's up to you."
Mason frowned. The constantly updated energy readings from his watch showed that the magnetic fields of the two worlds had completed a preliminary fusion, and a new constraint system was being formed under the manipulation of the two magnetic field machines and Magneto.
Everything was going smoothly, except for the Cybertron thugs still wreaking havoc on the surface of the Isu world.
But the captain always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something very important.
If this was a pioneering mission, he would naturally have enough time to unravel the secrets hidden in this world. However, now there is not so much time left for him to slowly explore the secrets.
It needs some intensity !
"Mobius, use penetration mode to scan the internal structure of this world."
The captain gave an order to the Mobius chair floating beside him, and then requested the BFG10000 Star Destroyer in the Isu world to enter secondary charging through Barbara's communication relay.
Mason no longer hesitated as his uneasiness grew stronger. If anything unexpected happened in this strange and silent metal world, he would give up the fusion of the worlds and bombard it with a single blow.
While Mason was wondering whether there was any hidden truth in this metal world, Kara, far away on the other side of the metal world, under the guidance of Batgirl, accurately entered a barren mountain range that had not yet been metalized.
Life signal detection showed that there were some human gatherings here, but Kara doubted whether real humans could survive in this gray-white barren mountain filled with poisonous water, poisonous smoke, and burning smell, with no grass growing.
The air here was so filthy that even the Kryptonians could not stand it. She had to open the breathing mask of the Kryptonian combat suit made of vibranium to feel a little more comfortable. Then she used her super hearing and penetrating rays to look for signs of life.
Soon she made a discovery.
Not on the surface of the mountains, but underground.
About three hundred meters deep underground, in a natural cave system with a very complex internal structure, there is indeed a human settlement. They look like cavemen, but after Kara found the entrance and walked in, she realized that these were not cave-dwelling primitive people.
Because primitive people wouldn't aim RPGs and M16s at her and excitedly yell at her to back off.
These are a group of modern people!
It can be seen from their dirty uniforms that they were once professional soldiers.
"Hey, don't shoot, that thing can't hurt me."
Kara was suspended in the air. After detecting that the air quality here had returned to being breathable, she flicked off her visor to reveal her human appearance, opened her arms and explained to the nervous soldiers in front of her:
"I come from another world, and I am currently helping the Earth that is about to collide with yours survive the impact disaster. I have a few questions for your leader."
"The leader is already dead!"
The mentally disturbed veteran carrying a rocket launcher shouted:
"Killed by those damn Cybertron goons. We haven't been outside since Optimus Prime and the Autobots were sacrificed by the Decepticons to their Mechanical God.
Everything outside has nothing to do with us. There are only a few of us left.
You should go quickly! The guy who can fly.
Go back and be with your families. That horror has eaten our world, and now another world collision is coming, which means it has found another prey to feast on.
They said it was about to wake up!
Optimus Prime said.
On the day when Megatron broke its limbs and dragged it away like a dead dog, it told me that the monster beneath our feet would awaken after eating one more world, and then no one would be able to stop it from conquering the entire universe.
We will all die!
We will all die in the constantly opening and closing alloy mouths of these bastard robots' mechanical evil gods, and there won't even be a chance for us to be turned into feces and excreted!
That hot-melt digestion tank is our final hell!"
"Shut up! Simmons, you're about to reveal all our secrets."
Another soldier holding a rifle, probably in his thirties, with the rank of major, cursed angrily:
"Can't you control your overwhelming desire to express yourself? She can help us. Look! She can fly. She must be no ordinary person."
After saying that, the guy dropped the gun in his hand, took off his hat, revealing a bearded, weathered face. He coughed a few times and introduced himself:
"Hello, flying lady, I am Sam Witwicky, the third commander-in-chief of the Earth Defense Force. Although I don't look like it, I have indeed been fighting against these terrifying mechanical monsters for many years.
We are all strong warriors!
Even though I lost my hometown seventeen years ago, my second hometown three years ago, my third hometown three months ago, and now I am about to lose my fourth hometown...
Ahem, what I mean is, we can help, please save us.
We don't have much left.
We had Autobots fighting alongside us before, but after Optimus Prime and the last of the Autobots were sacrificed three months ago, we have no friends to rely on."
Faced with these two guys who spoke incoherently, Kara was completely confused. It felt like she was communicating with two Bizarros, but Supergirl used her super intelligence and quickly realized that something was wrong.
She flashed over, grabbed the young man in front of her who claimed to be the commander-in-chief of the "Earth Defense Force", and questioned:
"What did you mean when you said you lost your homeland seventeen years ago? Wasn't that when the First Impact happened?"
"Yeah, you call that kind of disaster a 'shock'? Well, that's a very graphic description."
Sam was startled when he was lifted up in the air. He was amazed at how strong this alien woman with big breasts, thin waist and long legs was. However, he had indeed developed courage in the years of chaos, so he answered calmly:
"I had just started college, had just met my good friend Bumblebee, had just fought my first Decepticon, and I thought it was the most awesome thing I'd ever seen.
But I was wrong.
When my girlfriend and I started living together, how should I put it? Sometimes I miss her long legs, but unfortunately she died in..."
"Get to the point, Sam."
Kara scolded, and Sam shrugged and said briefly:
"Our Earth and another Earth almost collided in less than a day, so fast that my Cybertron friends were unable to stop it.
At the critical moment, it was the Decepticons who came up with an idea.
They claimed that an ancient god slept in the earth and that awakening it would save the world, and our scared idiot president did just that.
The next day, our world shattered, and the Mechanical Evil God broke out of the ground, ate up the world it crashed into and used it as its new nest, as a 'reward' or 'award'.
The Decepticons who came to power after that allowed less than a third of the people on Earth who survived to immigrate to their second homeland.
I thought that was the end of it, but then three years ago the same thing happened again, and then three months ago, and you see our world has become metal, right?
That's not actually metallized, flying lady.
The metal part of the earth is the body of the Mechanical Evil God. It has expanded several times compared to seventeen years ago, and the entire world cannot contain it.
The remaining one-third of the earth composed of soil and rocks is the leftover debris of this pitiful world, and your world is its next target.
This "impact" may be a disaster of genocide for other worlds, but I can see clearly that for this evil god under our feet, this is just a good opportunity for it to find food.
So what Simmons said is not wrong.
The world you want to protect is doomed, and it will soon begin its next hunt..."
"Snap"
Sam was thrown to the ground. Kara, with a drastic change of expression, called Mason from the spot. The moment the communication was connected, she shouted:
"Mason! This world is..."
"I already know the body of Cybertron's evil mechanical god Unicron. I just saw the world's stellar structure diagram, and I also heard the conversation between you and Sam.
The information he brings is crucial.”
Mason's serious voice came from the communication, saying:
"The Isu world fusion plan is abandoned!
The Kryptonian team immediately took these remaining Earthlings back to the surface of the Isu world. Little Iris! Stop the operation of the Speed Force Matrix and open the Speed Force channel for these super lucky people who survived the four world extinctions. "
"receive!"
Several voices responded at once.
Mason gestured to Magneto in the air to come down, and at the same time he urged the young K team beside him to go back to Osborne Tower immediately and not stay in this dangerous place any longer.
"Harley, sit on it!"
Mason turned around, picked up Harley and Quinn and placed them on the Mobius chair. While activating the teleportation, he said to them:
"Go back over there and find Sister Ka, and have the BFG10000 fire in full-power annihilation mode! Fire a few shots at Unicron before he makes a move! I'm going to stay here with Magneto to create some trouble for this cosmic Iron Monger."
"We'll be waiting for you over there."
Harley waved her hand and disappeared with the others in the teleportation light of the Mobius chair. Mason lit a cigarette and looked at the endless metal wasteland in front of him.
The thought that this metal land might be the head or fingertips of a robot the size of a planet makes people feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts.
"If you walk on this road at night, you will encounter ghosts..."
Mason blew out a smoke ring with a sad face and started playing with the lighter that was emitting purple light in his hand.
After a few seconds, he felt that the firepower was insufficient, so he took out an identical Galactus brand lighter from his bag and put it on his waist, where the bomb was originally placed.
"Barbara, the Star Society's transfer gate has begun to be issued, but I doubt whether the Isu world can survive until then, so now open the Shenyu World Webway and unlock the global brain wave upload command.
Wait for my order!"
The captain said something to his elder sister, who just hummed.
She had also seen the world structure diagram sent back to the Exile spacecraft by the Mobius Chair. The planetary robot sleeping in a mechanically transformed form really shocked Barbara and Miss Ultra. In the face of such a cosmic monster, Mason's decision to terminate the plan was absolutely the right one.
At this moment, Ms. Ott felt a sense of guilt.
She always calls herself a digital life, but look at her level, this is what a real mechanical life is.
The one-armed Magneto stopped the magnetic field fusion and landed next to Mason. From his dissatisfied look, it was known that he had objections to Mason's decision. But after seeing the world structure analysis diagram that Mason threw over, this knowledgeable conqueror's first-sequence commander-in-chief also fell silent.
"Can you handle this?"
Mason threw down his cigarette butt and asked irritably:
"For example, seal it with a magnetic field, or throw it into the sun or something."
“Are you kidding me?”
Magneto said hoarsely:
"This is a purely mechanical body! The magnetic field it naturally emits is comparable to the magnetic poles of a planet, and its own weight exceeds my influence limit by at least twenty times.
If you dare to attack this thing, I will die of exhaustion in the next second.
This is no longer a problem that the Omega mutants can solve, unless you can find a full version of the Phoenix Force, an adult Franklin, or a horde of crazy people..."
"I do have a large group, but I doubt he can handle it even if he comes over, so I thought, why not blow a hole in it?"
Mason stroked the row of Galactus lighters on his waist. He narrowed his eyes and said to Magneto:
"Come with me, let's fight it out before we evacuate."
"Why?"
Magneto stiffened his neck and asked back:
"This is not what I promised you to do!"
"If you don't come, I will find a way to throw this big guy onto your first-order mothership. You can bet that I don't know where your mothership is?"
Mason threw down a sentence without even turning his head.
Magneto was so angry that his teeth itched, but he had to follow in the end.
A few minutes later, a star-destroying beam several times more powerful than the previous one was fired from the surface of the Isu world and hit the center of the metal world. The energy plume it triggered instantly emitted an energy explosion thousands of times that of Big Ivan.
The good news is that this star destroyer cannon shattered the sleeping Unicron's antibody outer armor and left a broken and collapsed area with a radius of nearly 100 kilometers at the entrance of its outer layer of primary matter.
It looked very spectacular, as if the attack had really achieved remarkable results.
The bad news is that the Mobius Chair has just calculated that the thickness of Unicron's outer antibody armor in stellar form, together with the internal separation device and main transmission gear structure, is... one thousand three hundred and seventy-four kilometers!
The wound caused by the star destroyer cannon was not even a minor damage to Unicron. It was equivalent to a giant being bitten hard by an ant.
Or to put it in a concept that is easier for modern people to understand is... Ding, our attack failed to scratch the enemy's armor.
