The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

The responsible young woman listened attentively, showing little hesitation.

Besides, if she can save an alien planet, she should at least get a peace prize, right?

“If the twelve guardian knights agree to let me hand over the scepter, I will have no regrets,” Vivian said resolutely.

Since I've never seen what the scepter looks like, and I have no idea what its abilities are, I might as well return it rather than cause trouble.

They, the British Empire, cannot be ungrateful.

“In that case…” Flgen stood up, “I respect your choice!”

Disrespect is unacceptable!

Others are using the destruction of the planet as a moral blackmail, and strictly speaking, the scepter does indeed belong to someone else.

Seeing that the deal was being settled so smoothly, Sam stepped forward and asked, "So when are we going to get the scepter?"

“Well… could we go tomorrow?” Vivian pointed to the sky outside the window. “It’s so late, my mother will worry.”

"Ethan and I were really scared by you guys today. Now all I want to do is get a good night's sleep."

Faced with her complaints, Sam felt genuinely embarrassed and scratched his face.

Ultimately, the meeting ended hastily after Vivian insisted on returning home to let everyone know she was safe.

Watching Heatwave leave with Vivian and Ethan, Flgen turned to look at Sam.

"Child, would you be interested in joining the monastic order?"

"The Monastic Order? Is there any point in its continued existence?"

"Uh... cough cough, of course there are, just tell me if you want to join?"

Maybe everything here will be yours in the future~

"(?ω?)!"

"President! Whether or not I inherit the family bloodline is not important. Since I have inherited the family bloodline, I will naturally do my part for the Cultivation Association!"

…………

British Royal Navy Submarine Museum.

Fergen, who had booked the entire venue, led the group to a massive submarine.

"This is the Soyuz submarine!" Sam exclaimed in amazement, as this was the first time he had ever seen a warship up close.

“His name is Steel Tide,” Rebo said, touching his old comrade’s metal frame. “During World War II, his transformation gears were damaged in battle, and he could no longer transform back into human form.”

"Let's go, let's go up and take a look!" Heatwave sent a low-frequency signal to a seemingly ordinary metal deck on the side of the submarine.

The next second, the submarine's tightly sealed aft deck slowly opened, revealing a sufficiently tall passageway entrance, just large enough for Hornet and Heatwave to enter.

"Wow~ That's so cool!" Ethan followed the others in, his mind incredulous.

Unlike the cramped and confined interior of a submarine, this place has far fewer pipes and wiring, clearly making room for the arrival of the Autobots.

After looking around, Vivian slowly walked to the control panel. Looking at the devices she had never seen before, she unconsciously reached out and stopped in front of the main control console.

The moment her fingertips touched the control panel, the submarine's previously silent mechanical parts began to emit a low rumbling sound, and the entire submarine began to tremble slightly.

"What's going on?!" Ethan seemed flustered.

Sam, however, thought of the scene Brother Lu had described with admiration. It was exactly the same as what he had said. It was simply amazing!

"Don't panic!"

"Steel Tide is taking us to the underwater spaceship!"

"Everyone, hold on tight!"

Without any further instructions, the submarine's propulsion system started up in full, and it slowly headed towards the underwater museum.

As the mechanical propeller spun rapidly, it sank completely to the bottom of the sea.

As Vivian looked at the submarine that had come back to life, the last trace of resistance and panic in her heart completely dissipated, replaced by a heavy sense of mission.

She knew that her mission had begun from this moment on!

The submarine was enveloped in the darkness of the deep sea, with occasional glimmers of light gradually fading into darkness as it descended.

After an unknown amount of time, the outline of an enormous alien spaceship gradually emerged from the darkness of the deep sea.

Steel Tide arrived at the spacecraft's internal platform and floated up, accompanied by a mechanical meshing sound.

The submarine hatch opened, and everyone stepped off the submarine one by one onto the metal floor of the alien spaceship.

"Hahaha... That's so cool!"

"I never imagined that I would one day board an alien spaceship."

"Hey, Ethan, calm down a bit." Vivian looked at her yelling boyfriend speechlessly.

They don't even know if there are any dangers or traps on the spaceship. If they shout loudly, they might attract the guards on the spaceship and they could be in big trouble.

However, she would soon no longer have to worry about such things.

Sam spoke a few words on the bracelet to confirm that he could be contacted.

He took out a prism-shaped crystal and threw it into the air. Countless nanoparticles quickly spread up, down, left, and right, soon forming a door frame.

After waiting for several minutes, the scene on one side of the door frame transformed into a smoother, more polished space than the spaceship itself.

The towering Optimus Prime stepped out first, followed by Jazz, Ironhide, and Ratchet, all fully armed.

Finally, Yu Tiandi and Lu Qianwei followed behind.

In the Transformers universe, resources are scarce in the Milky Way due to millions or even thousands of years of mining by the creators and mechanical civilizations.

The Iron Blood World also becomes precious due to the large number of races like interstellar civilizations.

The multiverse presented by the consortium is thus a warehouse with inexhaustible resources.

Sentinel Prime retraced Optimus Prime's steps, and his eyes turned red!

They still don't understand the endless resources brought by the time portal.

The choice between the Decepticons and the Alliance is self-evident.

Besides, the Cosmic Emperor is Earth. No matter how stubborn he is, he wouldn't be stupid enough to bring his home planet over here!

Even after receiving a promise from the Alliance and a seat as a representative of civilization recommended by Optimus Prime, he decisively chose to sever ties with the Decepticons!

He even had a plan in mind to use the space bridge to carry out a massacre and end the countless years of internal strife on Cybertron!

Chapter 152 The Twelve Knights

"This is Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots."

"She is the wielder of Merlin's Scepter, and this is Count Flgen of the Order of the Monks; he has been keeping our secret all along..."

Sam used both hands to introduce the identities of both parties.

Optimus Prime knelt down on one knee in gratitude toward Vivian and the others, displaying his calm and magnanimous leadership qualities.

"Now, everyone, please follow me." Optimus Prime stood up and looked in one direction; he knew Cybertron's spaceships all too well.

"Autobots, protect humanity!"

Before determining whether there were any hidden dangers to the spaceship, Optimus Prime led the team forward to explore the area.

Fortunately, no dangers arose along the way, and the group safely reached the alloy hatch of the bridge.

After glancing at the ancient patterns engraved on the bulkhead, Optimus Prime raised his hand and lightly touched the sensor area on the bulkhead.

The heavy hatch opened slowly, accompanied by a deep mechanical roar.

Lu Qianwei walked in unhurriedly, and his eyes immediately fell on an ancient wooden coffin placed in the center of the bridge.

Around the coffin, twelve tall Cybertronians, clad in ancient armor, stood or sat asleep.

The mottled rust and dust covering its body clearly indicate that it has been asleep for thousands of years.

Optimus Prime strode to the center of the bridge and looked at the group of sleeping knights.

He called out in a deep voice, "Wake up!"

As a special sound wave was released from his body, the consciousness of the Twelve Knights was forcibly awakened.

"Intruders!" A deafening shout rang out first, and twelve knights suddenly stood up, gripped their weapons, and launched a fierce attack on Optimus Prime without saying a word.

"It's me!" Optimus Prime shouted in a deep voice, using his sword and shield to block the fierce attacks from all sides.

As Quintessa's direct forces, the Twelve Knights possessed considerable strength and attack speed.

But now, facing Optimus Prime with the Leader Module and a fully upgraded car form... the hardness and density of his exoskeleton are on a completely different level!

In addition, the Twelve Horsemen had just awakened from their long slumber, and their consciousness and physical functions were somewhat chaotic, greatly reducing their strength. In no time, Optimus Prime used his shield and sword hilt to knock them away and subdue four or five of them.

"Calm down!"

"Don't make a move! We've brought Merlin's descendant!"

Optimus Prime swung his shield to deflect the incoming weapons, his movements still perfectly measured.

"Wait!" A deep voice suddenly rang out, and the leader of the twelve knights, the Red Knight Storm, narrowed his originally scarlet eyes slightly.

He immediately raised his hand and sternly stopped the other knights' attack.

The knights halted their attack, immediately stopped and slowly retreated, their fighting spirit fading but their weapons still gripped tightly as they warily eyed Optimus Prime.

Only then did they realize that there were still many humans and Cybertronians standing around them.

The Red Knight stepped forward slowly, his armor creaking as he stared at Optimus Prime and asked in a deep voice, "Have you brought Merlin's descendant?"

“That’s right!” Optimus Prime put away his sword and shield and nodded solemnly. “We must retrieve the scepter; it concerns the future of Cybertron.”

Storm frowned, even somewhat annoyed. "Take the scepter back to Cybertron?"

"Are you Quintasha's lackeys?"

“No!” Optimus Prime shook his head. “We’ve already kicked her out.”

Having explained enough about the Decepticons' civil war with the Autobots, Optimus Prime immediately chose to share the events of the past millennium with the old man via data transmission.

Of course, to deepen the impression and gain recognition, he generously revealed the Supreme and Leader modules as well.
