The final battle had only just begun?
What did that mean?
Hearing those words, Lennox felt his scalp prickle with unease.
Boom!
In front of him, the battle between several Transformers raged, a chaotic mix of close-quarters combat and the blasts of energy weapons that sprouted from their bodies.
The clashes sent waves of powerful air currents surging through the base, accompanied by a constant shower of sparks.
Lennox could almost smell the acrid, burnt odor in the air.
Buzz!
The Batmobile, driven by Batman, roared forward. Terrifying weapons sprouted from its chassis, the long, thick barrels of its cannons sending a chill down anyone who saw them.
But the Transformers seemed unimpressed by this display.
Even among the Decepticons, Scorponok, the weakest of them all, was dismissive.
But Scorponok soon learned the hard way.
BOOM!
The Batmobile, once it entered combat mode, was enough to suppress all the villains in Gotham.
Anyone who underestimated it would pay the price.
Equipped with a Gatling gun, armor-piercing rounds, and homing missiles, it even carried Batman's signature grappling hook.
Scorponok was the first to be hit, with two homing missiles striking his head.
CLANG!
Scorponok's head shattered, most of it gone.
But its vitality was tenacious. Despite the heavy damage, it didn't fall. Instead, it swung its giant claws, gathering energy, planning to retaliate with a barrage of missiles.
Anton didn't give it the chance.
A piercing round detonated at Scorponok's feet, blowing it apart.
For the first few seconds, Ratchet, one of the Autobots fighting Scorponok, was stunned by the sight.
So strong? What kind of vehicle is that?
Ratchet fell into a deep thought.
Anton, however, ignored Ratchet. Seeing Scorponok on its last legs, broken into several pieces, its crimson eyes flickering like faulty circuits, he knew it wouldn't last much longer. He turned to Bumblebee, Ironhide, and Jazz, who were not far away.
These three were currently locked in combat with Starscream, Brawl, and Vortex.
The close quarters, a decidedly cramped space for Transformers, limited the effectiveness of many maneuvers and techniques, resulting in a brutal fight.
Sparks flew as the metal armor and outer shells of both sides suffered significant damage.
The battle was back and forth, with neither side gaining a decisive advantage.
Which was understandable.
Both the Decepticons and the Autobots had long lifespans.
Their conflict had begun millennia ago, even tens of thousands of years in the past.
The extended stalemate had resulted in countless clashes on Cybertron, always involving the same individuals.
Even battles of this scale weren't unprecedented.
They'd been fighting for years. If a victor could have been decided, it would have happened long ago, preventing Cybertron from being drained of its resources, and forcing them to come to Earth to continue their conflict.
However, this time it was different.
In the Autobot ranks, there were two more, or rather, one more person.
Batman, and Cyborg.
Collectively, Anton.
Sshhh!
The Batmobile fired another tracking missile, striking Starscream, Brawl, and Vortex, pushing them back a few steps.
The Autobots, seeing this, turned around and lined up behind the Batmobile, adopting battle stances.
The Decepticons, battered by the tracking missiles, turned to face the menacing Autobots. They were already barely containing their inner rage.
The two sides clashed again.
Meanwhile, Anton controlled the Batmobile, stealthily taking potshots at the Decepticons from behind the Autobots.
In a direct fight, the Batmobile's mobility and firepower weren't strong enough against the Transformers, and the abilities the Arkham Knight Armor provided also weren't sufficient to directly confront them. It could only deal with weaker opponents, like, for example, nearly killing Scorponok – which he had already done.
Therefore, avoiding direct combat was the most effective way to contribute.
Besides, the other "Anton" was currently locked in an intense battle with Megatron, so there was no shortage of firepower.
"Human, who are you?"
Megatron had just awakened and was unfamiliar with Cyborg's identity.
Cyborg's technologically advanced appearance made Megatron highly doubt his humanity.
"Victor Stone, you can call me Cyborg."
Cyborg's avatar was expressionless as he raised his hand and fired a sonic cannon, forcing Megatron back. He sneered, "Don't doubt it, I am human. It's just that, I'm a little different from the humans you remember!"
"The humans of today, even though most of them seem weak to you, remember this... humans never lack strong individuals!"
As his words fell, powerful streams of energy erupted from behind Cyborg, surging towards Megatron.
He used an energy field to draw the Allspark into his palm.
The intent was clear: to strike directly at Megatron's spark.
At the same time, Optimus Prime held Megatron back, creating an opportunity for Cyborg.
The Autobot leader swung the Broadsword on his right arm, and the air exploded in an instant, sending gusts of wind everywhere.
Due to space limitations, the Broadsword couldn't be fully deployed and was thrust into the mountainside.
The blade and the rock surface rubbed violently, sending out a dazzling shower of sparks.
Deep fissures appeared on the mountainside.
Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!
Megatron felt an unprecedented sense of danger.
He had to avoid Cyborg's attacks while he held the Allspark, and also evade the slashes of his old rival, Optimus Prime. He was caught in a dilemma.
He ultimately chose to evade Cyborg, so in a rush, he took Optimus Prime's sword head-on.
Clang!!
The sound of clashing metal reverberated.
The sound, like the ringing of a bell, echoed through the enclosed underground base, the sound waves bouncing back and forth, the echoes ringing in everyone's ears.
Everyone looked over, without a word.
They saw Megatron kneeling on the ground, under immense pressure, as evidenced by the circular depression in the ground.
The key point was that the metal shield he'd formed from his arm had blocked Optimus Prime's broadsword.
This saved him from a devastating blow.
At the same time, a shocking surge of air spread outwards from the point of impact between Broadsword and the shield.
Visible ripples in the air exploded outwards, kicking up thick dust and mountain ash in their wake.
Swoosh!
Cyborg, his initial attack thwarted, turned and charged again, moving with the ferocity of a hunting eagle.
His momentum was terrifying.
The Allspark, which was attached to his other hand, emitted a bright blue light with the movement.
For Transformers, this light was a manifestation of something akin to a miracle.
But in Megatron's eyes, it was a vision of death drawing closer, a crisis that went beyond mere danger and was instead a true disaster.
Megatron gritted his teeth, his expression resolute.
Under Optimus Prime's restraint, he couldn't effectively respond to Cyborg's attacks, and could only defend passively.
Especially the threat of the Allspark to him, which was simply beyond anything he'd faced before.
The Allspark could utterly kill him!
Here, "utterly" meant that after he was killed by the Allspark, the Allspark would also be destroyed.
This meant he would lose his chance of revival.
Of course, Megatron's resurrection in Transformers 2 was purely a tail left by the screenwriter, so I won't go into detail here.
In short, the threat Cyborg posed to Megatron at this moment was greater than Optimus Prime under any circumstances.
Of course, Megatron's hatred for Optimus Prime at this moment was also greater than at any previous moment.
Because, at this moment, Optimus Prime wasn't just going to kill Megatron, he was also going to destroy the Transformers' sacred relic.
This was a fact that Megatron couldn't accept at all.
"Optimus Prime, do you know what you're doing?"
Megatron grew angrier the more he thought about it.
In his fury, he ignored Cyborg's attacks and insisted on a fight to the death with Optimus Prime.
"You're abandoning Cybertron's hope for the sake of those insignificant humans!"
Megatron clenched his fist.
"This time, it's just you and me!"
"Only one can live, the other must die!"
Megatron's red optic glowed intensely.
Even at a disadvantage, Megatron issued his triumphant declaration.
"You dare to duel the victor, you are destined to lose!"
"There is no victory without sacrifice."
Optimus Prime's reply was simple. He didn't engage in a direct confrontation with Megatron, but his statement was no less resolute.
He wasn't afraid to sacrifice himself.
BOOM!!
The two figures collided, the cannon fire from their hands slamming into each other's chests.
At the same time, Kong appeared between them.
He'd interrupted the fight after Megatron and Optimus Prime had just exchanged a few blows and declared their duel.
"Scum, get out of my sight!"
Megatron roared in fury.
A massive energy blast was unleashed, aimed at Kong.
Kong's expression remained neutral.
He fired a laser, detonating the energy blast prematurely.
Amidst the raging inferno, Kong broke through the flames, the Allspark in his hand aimed directly at Megatron's chest.
"No!"
A wave of immense fear washed over Megatron.
At the same time, Starscream, Vortex, and Brawl, witnessing the scene, wore expressions of disbelief.
They knew what was about to happen.
BOOM!!
Suddenly, a massive burst of fire erupted from an unknown source, engulfing the area where Megatron, Optimus Prime, and Kong were located.
The entire base was illuminated as if it were daytime.
It was as if the sun had come closer.
Even Lannos thought so.
The raging flames singed his eyebrows.
The flames blocked his vision, even making it hard for him to open his eyes.
Lannos had no idea what was happening inside the fire.
However, the amazing battle that had just occurred before his eyes allowed him to imagine how intense the clash within the flames must be.
Plus, Batman's explanation earlier!
Only by pressing the Allspark into the enemy's chest could the enemy be completely killed...
But, the Allspark would also be destroyed in the process.
In Lannos' mind, the recent conversation surfaced instinctively.
Unbeknownst to him, the massive flames were a deliberate feint orchestrated by Kong and Optimus Prime, designed to mislead the "humans."
Whoosh!
Simultaneously, the instant the colossal flames erupted, Kong retrieved the Allspark. He placed a hand on Megatron's chest, activating the Mind Transfer Device.
In a flash, the two of them arrived in a galaxy far, far away from Earth.
"Huh?"
Megatron was startled.
As a mechanical lifeform, he could, of course, survive in the vacuum of space.
Looking around, he saw a gigantic sphere, brimming with technological marvel, suspended in space before him.
The human named Kong, who had brought him here, was now standing before him.
"It seems you weren't willing to destroy a treasure like the Allspark."
Megatron realized something, a triumphant smile spreading across his face as he let out a hearty laugh. "If it weren't for the Allspark, do you think you could have threatened me? Human!"
"You might be misunderstanding something."
Kong remained calm, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Aren't you going to take another look at why I made this choice?"
As the words left his mouth.
Crack! Crack!
The War Fortress behind Kong finally revealed its original, terrifying appearance.
Countless gun barrels emerged from the exterior, and terrifying energy fluctuations gathered within, including the simultaneous activation of an external energy shield.
The terrifying weapon, capable of devastating the Earth's inhabitants, was finally revealing more than just the tip of the iceberg.
Although Lannos was the former commander of the War Fortress, when Lannos invaded Earth: first, the War Fortress wasn't fully assembled; second, Kong's incredible hacking abilities, which could crack any alien technology, restricted the War Fortress's capabilities.
This gave the Justice League, or rather, Anton's transformed Batman, and Kong, a chance to turn the tables.
Otherwise, Tony wouldn't have struggled for so long without even getting past the first stage, the War Fortress's external defense mechanisms.
Of course, don't compare it to the plot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2; as everyone knows, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is a comedy.
Getting back to the point.
Seeing this, Megatron was terrified.
Although he was the strongest among the Transformers, he was still outmatched against such a powerful weapon.
Unless he could solve the problem from within.
The key was that he was currently outside the War Fortress, facing its most formidable aspect.
"Damn it!"
Megatron's expression was grim as he was relentlessly bombarded by countless energy blasts.
Finally, under Kong's indifferent gaze, Megatron's limbs were blown off by the blasts. A fatal blow to his chest ended Megatron's wicked life.
Megatron's eyes gradually dimmed.
The fatal wound on his chest was a mark deliberately created by Kong's avatar.
After confirming Megatron's death, Kong returned to Earth with Megatron's body, heading to Sector 7's base located in the Hoover Dam.
Of course, he'd left the Allspark inside the War Fortress.
Whoosh!
As they arrived back at the base.
Optimus Prime, still maintaining the flames and occasionally making some noise, exchanged a glance with Kong. Then, he looked at Megatron's corpse, sighed softly, and dispersed the flames that had been obscuring his vision.
Clang!
At the same time, he retracted the broadsword from his arm.
Considering Megatron's body on the ground, along with his severed limbs, it was clear that this outcome wasn't solely Kong's doing; Optimus had also played a significant role.
Everyone present witnessed the result.
Megatron was dead!
The severed limbs and the massive hole in his chest were undeniable.
Megatron, who had battled the Autobots for tens of thousands of years, had died on a remote planet in the cosmos?
The Decepticons were all stunned.
The Autobots, however, were invigorated. Fueled by the extraordinary victory, they unleashed combat power that surpassed their limits, driving the Decepticons back in defeat.
Run!!
Starscream, Vortex, and Brawl exchanged glances, their faces mirroring the same fear.
Megatron's death had sapped them of all their spirit.
At the same time, Megatron's death also signaled the destruction of the Allspark.
They hadn't missed the gaping hole in Megatron's chest, nor the sight of the human, Kong, running towards Megatron with the Allspark just moments before.
Of course, the Autobots wouldn't let the Decepticons escape so easily.
In a critical moment, there was no concept of not pursuing fleeing enemies.
The Autobots relentlessly pursued the Decepticons.
Vroom!!
Anton slammed the Batmobile's accelerator, zipping through the legs of the Decepticons and arriving first at the base's sole large entrance, the only way for the Transformers to initially enter.
Click-click-click!
Tracking missiles, accompanied by countless armor-piercing rounds, were fired in a massive barrage.
Flames and smoke spread throughout the entire base, slowing down the Decepticons' retreat.
The Decepticons were caught up to by the Autobots.
"Damn it!"
Starscream roared in fury.
Brawl and Vortex were also in a complete mess, so they simply transformed their hands into cannons and began indiscriminately firing.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Energy blasts shot out from all directions.
It had to be said, the base was built inside a cave, and the continuous bombardment, along with the previous battles of the Transformers and others, had caused great damage to the cave's stability.
At this moment, the walls on all sides of the cave, including the ceiling, had all cracked.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Spiderweb-like cracks immediately spread.
The gaps grew larger and larger.
Lannos simply dodged the artillery fire, but at the same time, the stone debris falling from the cracking walls around him startled him.
The cave's collapsing!
Lannos spun his head, looking towards Optimus Prime and Kong at the edge of the smoke and fire.
He couldn't help but shout, "The cave's collapsing!!"
Hearing this, Kong turned to look and saw that it was indeed true.
As Lannos had said, the battlefield was overwhelmed by the intense fighting and had reached its breaking point.
The cave was about to collapse.
"We need to retreat!"
Kong glanced at Starscream and the others, who were being suppressed and couldn't lift their heads. "The Decepticons have no chance of turning things around!"
"You take the humans and evacuate first. We'll be out before the cave collapses."
Optimus Prime looked at Starscream and the others, who were gradually falling into despair.
"The battle between Transformers should be finished by Transformers. You've helped us a lot! Thank you, Justice League."
Optimus Prime nodded slightly, saluting Kong.
"Alright."
Kong nodded in response.
The next moment, air currents burst from behind him as he arrived beside Lannos, carrying him as he flew towards the outside of the base.
At the same time, Anton drove the Batmobile, retreating from the base.
About ten minutes later.
Boom!
The cave completely collapsed, and a huge depression appeared on the edge of the Hoover Dam, where the mountain had previously been slightly convex.
The spreading dust filled the entire Hoover Dam.
The Batmobile hovered in the air above Hoover Dam. Anton sat inside, turning his head to look down and seeing Optimus Prime and the others emerge from the dust. He smiled slightly.
On the other side, Kong, after dropping Lannos in a safe place, flew towards the Batmobile and stood beside Anton. He also saw Optimus Prime and the others.
Whoosh!
The moment he saw Optimus Prime and the others, Kong didn't hesitate. He rushed into the billowing dust and arrived beside them. Using the Mind Transfer Device, he brought them inside the War Fortress, which was located in a distant galaxy.
Seeing this, Anton also recalled the Batmobile, and with a thought, returned to the War Fortress.
Lannos stood at a high point overlooking the Hoover Dam, the swirling dust making it hard to breathe.
Finally, most of the dust settled.
At the edge of the distant sky, a squadron of fighter jets arrived, circling overhead.
Soon after.
Row after row of military jeeps, packed with soldiers, arrived at the scene.
They didn't notice Lannos, who was completely enveloped in dust, instead, they charged headfirst into the massive, sunken area beside the Hoover Dam.
They were stunned.
The leading general surveyed the scene and fell silent for a moment before taking out his communicator to contact the White House.
"I'm sorry."
He hadn't heard what the other party asked at all. With a heavy and sorrowful heart, he continued, "We're late..."
