Plunder the Heavens from Warhammer

Chapter 257 Optimus Prime: After waking up, I am now a commander without any troops?
[Item detected: Fire source (broken)]

[Quality: unique]

[The residual energy crystals from the planet Cybertron (Yuanshi Tianzun) can activate mechanical life forms and give them wisdom and soul. After the activated mechanical life forms die, their souls will return to the source of fire.]

[Energy available: 100000/? ? ? ]

Finally, the 'Spark Source' was obtained. Looking at the detection information of the navigator, Alvin asked curiously: "What does the question mark of the energy unit mean?"

[Dear navigator, because the fire source is in a broken state, the total energy of the fragment is '100,000'. Each time it is activated and used, it will consume energy units and will automatically absorb the dark matter of the universe to replenish its own energy. The recovery time is undetermined.]

understood!

Alvin roughly understood that the fragments of the fire source were like a central nervous system. Every time the energy consumed was used, it needed to be replenished from the universe.

This is good news. At least he doesn't need to go and think about how to replenish the energy of the fire source.

Just this one fragment can contain 'one hundred thousand' units of energy and transform Cybertron's mechanical life. It is conceivable... if it is a complete 'spark source', how huge the energy source will be. No wonder it can operate a planet!
"It's not that there is no way out..." Alvin put the fragments of the 'Spark Source' into his private space, full of confidence, with a curve at the corner of his lips: "I don't believe that Cybertron's Yuanshi Tianzun is still unable to restore the 'Spark Source'."

Of course, with his current strength, unless he brings the main forces of the Empire to the Transformers Universe, it would be an overthinking to want to confront Cybertron's creator, Yuanshi Tianzun, head-on.

But that doesn't mean it will be the same in the future.

Moreover, let alone bringing in the main force of the empire, even the "Sword of Redemption" Conqueror-class cruiser would have difficulty. In order to allow a space battleship of that level to cross the world barrier, it would require not only "energy" but also "source power"!
But Alvin firmly believes that one day, he will lead more than one space battleship to cross the barriers of the world and let "Yuanshi Tianzun" see the surprise from Warhammer!
When they arrived at the agreed location, Bumblebee, Jazz, Skyfire, and Nightblade were all waiting anxiously, and they were relieved to see him return safely.

"It doesn't matter. We can't be defeated by one failure!"

When Tianhuo saw that he returned empty-handed and did not activate the beacon, he naturally thought that the plan had failed.

"Who told you I failed?"

Alvin turned his head and looked at him in surprise, then took out the fragment of the Allspark from his private space: "It was just a little unexpected. The Decepticons set a trap at the base, so I didn't activate the transmission beacon."

"You...you got it?!" Skyfire, Bumblebee, and Jazz stared with wide eyes, immediately surrounded, staring at the fragment as if they had found a treasure, and swallowed their saliva.

That’s right, it’s the ‘Spark Source’!
"Great, now...Optimus Prime is saved!"

Ratchet could hardly hide his excitement, lubricant gushed out of his eyes, and his voice was a little choked up.

"You can save Optimus Prime, but I have a request." Alvin suddenly put the Allspark into his private space and stared at the ambulance. "This remaining fragment of the Allspark is very important for the next war. There must be no mistakes. Do you... understand what I mean?"

Ratchet was stunned for a few seconds, then reacted: "Commander, you mean to just activate Optimus Prime's spark, but keep the spark source fragments, right?"

As expected of an ambulance, Alvin understood his intention immediately and nodded, "Yes, that's what I mean. Can you do it?"

"This……"

Ratchet hesitated.

From its heart, it hopes to use the Allspark to completely revive Optimus Prime, rather than just activate the extinguished Allspark energy. After all, complete recovery and being seriously injured and dying are two different concepts!
Even for Transformers, if they are seriously injured, it will take a very long time to fully recover their strength, not to mention the serious situation now.

"Saving the fragments of the fire source can help us transform a large number of mass-produced warriors. It is indeed very important in the upcoming decisive battle." Tianhuo also voted in favor.

Jazz opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to speak.

After all, it was they who snatched the Allspark fragments from the Decepticon base at the risk of their lives. It was good enough that they were willing to keep their promise and resurrect Optimus Prime. How could the Autobots have the nerve to ask for more from them?

"Forget it, Ratchet..." After a difficult ideological struggle, Jazz finally made up his mind. He patted Ratchet on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Skyfire is right. Even if we consume this fragment of the Allspark and fully restore Optimus Prime, it will be difficult to help the Autobots defeat the Corrupted Titan. We need more combat power!"

Since Jazz, the adjutant, said so, Ratchet could only obey and nodded: "I understand, Commander... I will consume the minimum amount of energy possible to activate Optimus Prime's spark energy."

This is also something we have to do.

I'll have to put 'Brother Zhuzi' in trouble for the time being. The Fire Source is of great use to him and cannot be treated as a disposable item. As for the Leader Module... that's even more impossible.

"very good."

Having achieved his goal, Alvin handed the Allspark fragment to Ratchet and said, "Go and revive Optimus Prime. I also happen to have a deal to discuss with your 'leader'."

He has a vision for the Transformers world.

They are clearly one race, but because of their two leaders, they have been fighting each other for years, resulting in the loss of their homeland. Isn't this a betrayal to 'Yuan Shi Tian Zun'? !
So he had an idea.

Integrate the Transformers, rebuild order, and let the Autobots and Decepticons once again unite under the same banner to fight in the name of the "God of All Machines" for their home and future!

Conquering Optimus Prime is the first step!
While he was thinking, Ratchet had already started the operation, with the fragments of the Allspark suspended in the air and Optimus Prime's body lying underneath.

The pure energy extracted from the fragments of the Fire Source fell like strands of silk and flowed into the depths of Optimus Prime's broken chest, like flowing blue blood, gradually injecting a glimmer of vitality into the lifeless body!
The energy of the fire that had been extinguished suddenly lit up with a faint light!

Optimus Prime's body was silent. After the 'fire' in his chest was lit, he opened his eyes again and looked around blankly: "Ah... my old friends, Jazz, Bumblebee, and Ratchet, is that you?"

"It's us, you're finally resurrected, Optimus Prime!"

The rest of the Autobots gathered around excitedly.

Ratchet immediately stopped injecting energy, carefully held the fragment of the fire source, and handed it to Alvin beside him: "Commander, thank you very much for your efforts. The fire source... is left to you."

[Energy available: 30000/? ? ? ]

Alvin took the fire source fragment and took a look at it.

Wow, he is worthy of being a "leader-level" person. Even if it is the minimum, igniting a wave of fire consumes a full 70,000 energy.

"???"

Optimus Prime, who had just been resurrected, watched Ratchet hand the Allspark fragment to a human being. His mind was immediately filled with questions: "Ratchet, my old friend, I haven't recovered yet."

"Uh..." Ratchet turned his head away awkwardly and whispered comfortingly: "The current situation is rather special. Please be patient for a while. I will slowly treat you. The fire source is more important and cannot be used to treat you, Optimus Prime."

"Yes, that's right, just be patient."

Jazz also advised it: "You have already been resurrected, so you don't need a little energy."

"..."

Looking at his Autobot companions around him, Optimus Prime felt as if he were in another world. It felt like he had died once. Everyone's attitude towards him seemed to have changed a lot without him noticing.

This is wrong!

If it were the Autobots of the past, how could they have said such a thing and let their leader just lie there?

"What happened?" Optimus Prime's memory still stayed at the Los Angeles battle. After seeing that Ironhide was missing, he immediately asked nervously: "Where are the Decepticons? What's going on with us? Where did Ironhide go?"

Hearing this, Bumblebee, Jazz, and Ratchet fell silent, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, Alvin stepped forward, looked at Optimus Prime, and said calmly: "Let me tell you, the leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime."

"Who are you?" Optimus Prime looked at him in confusion, "You don't seem to be human? My scanning program tells me that your genes are very different from those of humans on Earth."

This shit is not going to work, is it?!

Alvin looked unfriendly, veins on his forehead bulged, and he almost couldn't help but slap him with psychic power.

"Ahem, Optimus Prime, let me introduce you." The knight, who had been slapped before, knew too well how painful it was. If Optimus Prime really got slapped, he would probably die again, so he immediately stepped out to smooth things over: "This is the Rogue Trader, Sir Alvin Valhuis. It was because of his help after your death that we were able to survive the Decepticons' pursuit and even defeated them several times!"

"I see."

Optimus Prime suddenly realized and bowed his head respectfully: "I want to express my gratitude to you, Mr. Alvin."

"No need to thank me." Alvin waved his hand and said unhappily, "Thanks to your wisdom and bravery, otherwise... it would not be my turn to save the Autobots."

Optimus Prime naturally heard the sarcasm in his tone and frowned: "I don't understand what you mean, Sir Alvin."

"Thanks to your act of sacrificing yourself to save humanity, humans and Autobots were almost saved from falling into the abyss." Alvin looked at Optimus Prime and said jokingly, "To be honest, if I were a Decepticon, I would have to thank you for your contribution."

Hearing that his actions were misinterpreted as contributing to the Decepticons, even the good-tempered Optimus Prime couldn't help but get angry. He forced his seriously injured body to struggle to get up and glared at him: "What are you talking about?!"

"Am I wrong?"

Alvin was not afraid at all and stared at it: "Do you think that by sacrificing yourself, you can save both races? But have you ever thought about how the Autobots, who have lost their leader, should deal with the Decepticons?!"

"I……"

Optimus Prime was suddenly speechless, with panic in his pupils: "No, we still have allies, humans..."

"I'm sorry, Optimus Prime." Alvin spoke directly, interrupting it: "The allies you mentioned decisively betrayed you within five minutes of your death and switched to the Decepticons. If it weren't for me... hehe, you probably wouldn't have seen them."

Optimus Prime turned his head blankly, as if he wanted to confirm this with the Autobots.

"It's like this, Optimus Prime." Jazz lowered his head, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth as he said, "After you destroyed the Allspark with your body, humans betrayed us and joined forces with the Decepticons to strangle the Autobots. Your judgment... was wrong."

Hearing these words from his most trusted lieutenant, Optimus Prime was suddenly at a loss: "Am I...really wrong?"

It sacrificed itself for humanity, but the Autobots were betrayed by humans. Humans even joined forces with the Decepticons and drove out the Autobots who saved them!

So if... it doesn't sacrifice itself, will there be another result?

Optimus Prime was completely confused, and he was doubting whether what he was doing was right.

Did Optimus Prime really do something wrong?
No, it is not wrong. From the perspective of humans and even the Autobots, if the Allspark is not destroyed, under the situation at the time, once the Allspark is taken away by the Decepticons, what will be waiting for humans and Autobots in the future will be an endless army of Decepticons, and the result will only be worse!

But unfortunately, as Alvin said, Optimus Prime saved the most dangerous situation, but he also underestimated human nature, which led to another situation.

It's wrong, but it's also right.

The real fault lies with the United States, not all of humanity.

But this is exactly what Alvin wants. The first step to conquering Optimus Prime is to make him doubt his own ideas, so that he can take advantage of the opportunity.

...This is too weird.

Fortunately, this is not Warhammer, otherwise Alvin would be really worried that if he confuses right and wrong and deceives "honest people", he would attract the arrival of "Tzeentch".

"I...what should I do..." At this moment, Optimus Prime fell into unprecedented confusion, feeling that the ideals he had always adhered to seemed to have been completely shattered.

The repeated failures of mankind, the tyranny of the Decepticons, the lost homeland, the exiled Autobots... Optimus Prime didn't know how to solve the problems facing him.

"Blindly sticking to rigid ideas will not allow you to save the Autobots, let alone find your home." Alvin said expressionlessly, "Facts have proven that if you seek survival through compromise, you will die; if you seek peace through struggle, peace will survive."

These two short sentences immediately made Optimus Prime fall into deep thought. In his mind, he recalled countless times the ideas conveyed by past leaders. It seemed that... every one of them was repeating peace, but none of them could help them achieve peace!
On the contrary, it was like countless shackles that bound the Autobots tightly, so that in the era of chaos and war, their home, Cybertron, was eventually destroyed by war!
Optimus Prime looked at the human in front of him and inspired his thinking with just a few words, solemnly and even with a bit of respect: "What do you think... we should do?"

"Let's make a deal, Optimus."

Alvin looked at Optimus Prime, the corners of his lips slowly rising: "I promise in the name of 'Valshus' that I will help all Transformers in the future and rebuild your home 'Cybertron'."

Rebuild your home!

This is the dream of every Autobot, even every Transformer, but Optimus Prime, as the leader, remains rational: "What price do you want us to pay?"

"Allegiance."

Alvin said calmly: "I need your loyalty. When I need help, you can fight for me unconditionally!"

"You think of us... as a legion?!"

Optimus Prime was slightly startled, then looked at him in horror.

"Yes, you will become my legion."

Alvin did not hide his intentions at all. His fiery eyes fell on Optimus Prime: "You will conquer my enemies for me, and in return... I will promise you inexhaustible energy, a rebuilt home Cybertron, and a glorious and prosperous past. In the name of Cybertron, we will no longer be inferior to anyone!"

"No...I can't promise you!"

Optimus Prime's pupils suddenly shrank, and he took a few steps back in horror: "You are a demon, I cannot drag the Autobots into the abyss, I cannot agree to your request!"

However, Alvin was not angry at all, and looked at it with a smile: "Really? I'm sorry... Mr. Optimus Prime, your thoughts don't seem to represent others."

Optimus Prime turned back in astonishment, only to find out...

It turned out that Ratchet, Jazz, and Bumblebee had stood behind Alvin without him noticing, showing shameful expressions to him, but still remained motionless.

"you……"

Optimus Prime was stunned, looking at it in disbelief that those companions whom he once trusted the most were now standing on the opposite side!
"I'm sorry, Optimus."

Jazz clenched his fists and said firmly: "We don't want to wander anymore. Instead of fighting the Decepticons meaninglessly, we would rather fight to... rebuild our homeland!"

Home, yes...home!
In the hearts of every Autobot, they want to return home again, to Cybertron, the land that gave birth to them!

It’s true that Optimus Prime is the leader, but he cannot help the Autobots rebuild the destroyed Cybertron. However, Alvin... has proved his strength to them through a series of actions!
"Optimus Prime, this is reality."

Alvin took a step forward, looked at the distraught Optimus Prime, and said calmly: "Will you continue to fight to the death with your own kind for the humans who betrayed you, or... join my army and fight to rebuild your homeland? Make your choice."

After a long time, Optimus Prime lowered his head dejectedly.

"I...will!"

I reiterate that I have not been blessed by the loving father, nor have I joined Slaanesh... I just have hemorrhoids. I haven't updated much these days and I am too embarrassed to ask for monthly tickets. When I feel better, I will add more chapters to make up for the two chapters of monthly tickets I owe. Thank you all...
