章 168: C150
"Damn!"
"Too... terrible!"
Seeing this scene before them, all the agents of sector 7 were in sync, their faces filled with horror. They hadn't expected that the seemingly mighty alien mechanical life, a robot as massive as a hill, would be effortlessly disarmed by cyborg, as though a god had descended to suppress them with a mere flick of his hand.
Everyone had no doubt that the enemy had completely lost the power to fight back. Both of Barricade's hands were gone! Even in vehicle form, with two tires missing, he couldn't escape!
Not far away, Keller and Tom finally breathed a sigh of relief as the heavy weight in their hearts lifted slightly.
To be honest, even though they held the Justice League in high regard, witnessing one of its members—cyborg—displaying extraordinary abilities in front of them, the shock was inevitable. It rose from deep within their hearts and occupied their entire inner world.
If the military had talents like this, they would be invincible, even without any aircraft or artillery. Keller couldn't help but think this. He suddenly understood why Ross, now part of history, had been so persistent in hunting down the Hulk.
Once you've truly witnessed such extraordinary power, you can't help but subconsciously want to capture it.
Then again, cyborg was the top combatant in the Justice League, not just one of them.
However, even a man with such immense power must obey Batman's command. Moreover, what couldn't be ignored was that Batman, who had been sitting calmly from the beginning, was the true founder of the Justice League!
All members of the Justice League regarded Batman as their leader.
The military had long since arranged a simple order for the Justice League members, as announced by the Daily Bugle. From a pure combat power standpoint, Batman's current level was likely inferior to cyborg.
Of course, in their view, after cyborg, the next most powerful member of the Justice League was Batman, followed by the unpredictable Spider-Man, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Venom, and finally, Arrow and Daredevil.
It's easy to understand why Arrow and Daredevil were ranked last. The most important factor was that they weren't extraordinary. Unlike Spider-Man, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Venom, Arrow and Daredevil seemed like ordinary people, though they were highly skilled in combat.
What? Batman seems like an ordinary person too?
Though that was the case, since Batman was the leader of the Justice League, the military dared not regard him as an ordinary person.
So, back to Arrow and Daredevil.
Needless to say, Arrow was often compared to Hawkeye.
And Daredevil's super hearing was something you couldn't perceive with your eyes.
To sum it up, compared to these two, Spider-Man and others were not only capable fighters, but slightly more impressive overall.
While thinking about this, Keller and Tom exchanged a glance, then turned their gazes to Batman.
"Batman, as you said, this Bumblebee is a good guy among the aliens. Their faction, the Autobots, has no malice toward Earth..."
Keller asked, "And the one that just appeared is a Decepticon? They want to obtain the AllSpark, take over Earth, and transform it into their home planet, Cybertron, right?"
"Yes," Anton nodded. "According to the information we've collected, that's exactly it."
He turned his head to look at Keller and said slowly, "The AllSpark is the key. The Autobots intend to take the AllSpark and leave Earth, returning to Cybertron to rebuild their home. The Decepticons, however, have completely different intentions."
"This is a battle of factions!"
Anton's tone was solemn. "If we don't respond properly, Earth will become a battlefield for the Autobots and Decepticons. Keller, get ready... the AllSpark is in your hands. If the situation escalates, your final decision will be critical!"
While the two conversed, Barricade, who had lost both his hands, wore a grim expression.
He knew that the opponent before him was unbeatable and that escape was impossible.
Yet, gritting his teeth, he charged again.
At that moment, cyborg remained expressionless, giving him no chance.
Boom!
A shell blasted Barricade's head.
Flames erupted from the Decepticon's body as its mechanical joints shattered. The lubricating oil ignited on contact with the sparks, and Barricade's massive frame burned as it gradually stopped moving.
Bumblebee, watching the scene, looked solemn.
The battle between cyborg and Barricade ended faster than Bumblebee had anticipated. But based on the data he'd just collected, Bumblebee understood that cyborg and the others had recently dealt with other alien threats in New York.
The giant alien spacecraft cyborg's group had faced seemed especially daunting to Bumblebee, who now realized that while humans were a young race in the universe, they were far from weak.
Despite Barricade's defeat, cyborg didn't immediately leave the wreckage. Instead, his electronic eyes scanned it, detecting abnormal energy fluctuations.
Boom!
Another shell exploded.
Out of the smoldering wreckage, a small robot leaped to avoid the attack—Frenzy!
Frenzy was the smallest Transformer among the Decepticons. With his four slender arms, he could launch CDs from his chest as hidden weapons.
Often disguised as household electronics like portable stereos or mobile phones, Frenzy was an excellent spy, adept at monitoring humans with remarkable camouflage.
Most importantly, Frenzy was Barricade's trusted partner, capable of emerging from Barricade's chest when needed.
As the cyborg—a clone of Anton—of course, he hadn't forgotten about this tiny Transformer.
The moment Frenzy appeared, he launched a disc from his chest, hoping to distract cyborg and create an opportunity to escape.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Cyborg sneered, completely unfazed by the attack.
With a wave of his hand, he swatted the disc away. Another shell followed, blasting Frenzy's body. Cyborg then stomped on the Decepticon, crushing him into literal scrap metal.
Yet, even in his final moments, Frenzy had anticipated this fate.
A second before his destruction, Frenzy scanned the audience and attempted to transmit the scene to the Decepticons through the network.
However, cyborg—constantly connected to the internet—intercepted the signal with ease.
With a simple motion, he deleted it.
Bumblebee, observing the interaction, stared at cyborg in amazement. He hadn't expected the half-human, half-mechanical being before him to possess such advanced network capabilities.
This was far beyond human talent.
To a certain extent, cyborg's abilities rivaled those of Cybertronian creations like himself. Perhaps even more impressive.
Bumblebee's gaze lingered on cyborg's metallic body. His evaluation of him quietly rose to a new level.
'This individual might be the strongest being on Earth', Bumblebee thought.
"It's over!"
Cyborg turned his attention back to Bumblebee, his voice cold and authoritative. "Now, back to the previous topic, Autobot."
Hovering in mid-air, cyborg expression was unyielding as he said, "This is Earth, not Cybertron. If the Autobots want to remain here, they must first seek our permission."
"We have no intention of staying here forever," Bumblebee replied decisively.
"Where is Optimus Prime?"
Suddenly, Batman stepped forward, instantly drawing all eyes to him.
He stared directly at Bumblebee, speaking slowly but firmly: "You don't make the decisions here, Bumblebee. Bring Optimus Prime. If he wants to negotiate, it is the kind of sincerity the Autobots must show."
"Batman!"
Bumblebee quickly accessed the global network and discovered the name of the man before him: Batman.
Leader of the Justice League!
Wait...
Bumblebee processed the information further. Cyborg, with all his immense power, listened to Batman.
Is Batman the strongest human?
The thought raced through his mind, but something else gnawed at him.
Optimus Prime.
Bumblebee realized Batman knew his name—and not just his. Batman also knew about Optimus Prime.
This revelation hit Bumblebee like a shockwave.
'The humans know more than we expected,' Bumblebee thought. 'They know about Cybertron, the Autobots, and the Decepticons!'
And then another chilling realization struck him.
Megatron.
The leader of the Decepticons had arrived on Earth thousands of years ago. His current location remained a mystery.
Could it be?
The more Bumblebee thought about it, the more unsettling the implications became. He locked his gaze on Batman, his processor churning with possibilities.
"Well?"
Anton stood unmoving, his cape billowing behind him.
His expression was calm and resolute as he spoke again.
"Bumblebee, have you made your decision?"
