Chapter 629: Temporary Cooperation
"The Dark Side of the Moon?!"
From the mouth of the doctor, the history of Transformers revealed is undoubtedly a sharp shock.
Tony didn't think the Doctor was lying about this, because the so-called ruins behind the moon could have flown to the moon with a set of nano suits if he wanted to.
"Tell me your purpose, doctor?"
So, take a deep breath and suppress the emotions that are shaking inside yourself because of the hidden history of Transformers.
Tony asked with a frown as he looked at the doctor in front of him with the usual face.
Regarding the origin or past of Transformers, it is certainly shocking, but he has not forgotten the connection between the doctor in front of him and the Nine Shadows. Because of Penglai's relationship, the Avengers have fought with Jiuyou more than once, and the result is even more dangerous, under this premise, the doctor so simply revealed the secret about the Transformers to himself, and the purpose of it naturally makes people suspicious.
Tony didn't think the Doctor would be such a helpful being.
"I've already stated that Transformers are the main goal of my trip."
In the face of Tony's questioning, the doctor's expression was quite calm, or he had expected Tony's reaction.
"I'm very curious about the internal composition of this super mechanical lifeform, and I'm looking forward to proving some interesting results from the Transformers, in fact, the purpose of joining the Nine Shadows is very simple, that is, to be able to carry out the research on certain existences more smoothly, which is full of the Transformers that appear in front of me, and also includes those [Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons] who are sealed in Penglai......"
The doctor's straightforward explanation made the expression on Tony's face a little complicated.
"Don't you find it funny, Tony Stark, this world has too many secrets that we don't know, obviously within reach, but most people turn a blind eye to it, and are happy to accept such an existence, but do not think about exploring the meaning behind it, Transformers, [Extraterrestrial Demons] Have you ever thought about what kind of connection exists between these special life forms?"
As he said this, a smile appeared on the doctor's face that he had never felt before, and although he quickly put it away, it was still in the eyes of Tony in front of him.
In this change in expression, Tony suddenly discovered that perhaps such a doctor was the most dangerous existence in the Nine Shadows.
The purpose of the Nine Shadows? At least as far as the Avengers know so far? All the actions of this organization are to release the [Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon] that was sealed in Penglai.
And judging from the details revealed by the Doctor, as well as the invasion of the Avengers Mansion by the King of Phase? The Nine Shadows seemed to vaguely intend to control the power of these [Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons] to carry out research.
Because of the lack of clues? Tony couldn't say for sure if his guess was correct.
But whether the purpose of the Nine Shadows is or not? It's never going to be easy.
Thinking of the possible purpose of the Nine Shadows, Tony's heart obviously became a little heavier.
He looked at the doctor in front of him? The arc reactor on the chest flickered with a faint glow? But he quickly restrained the thoughts in his heart and suppressed the urge to make a move at the moment.
Because, Tony knows very well, even if he takes action now to eliminate and subdue the doctor on the other side? It didn't help the Avengers and the Nine Shadows in their struggle.
Especially? The doctor in front of him is nothing more than a nanorobot clone made by a real doctor.
"You made the right decision, Tony Stark."
"No time was wasted in stupid places."
Withdrawing his gaze from the arc reactor on Tony's chest, the Doctor said in a light tone.
“……”
The doctor's compliment, for Tony, was more of a mockery.
He was silent for a moment, adjusting his heart? Then he looked at the doctor.
"Since, our purpose is all for this so-called Transformers? Then, maybe we can cooperate on the issue of Transformers for the time being. ”
And if you can? Tony was naturally reluctant to make such a compromise.
After all, anyway? The relationship between the Nine Shadows and the Avengers is not the friendly one.
But? The appearance of Megatron has made Tony understand the power and danger of Transformers? Just a Megatron like a Transformer, Tony didn't forget that he was in the Avengers Building, and what he saw was the dense mechanical wreckage spread over the entire spaceship, or should I say Transformers.
Although, most of them seem to have lost their lives, who can guarantee that there will be no existence like Megatron among them.
At the same time, Tony has not forgotten the self-proclaimed confused Transformers he first came into contact with.
The body of the confusion before the transformation was not a mechanical life form inside a spaceship, but was transformed from a seemingly ordinary video camera.
The connection between this made Tony even more uneasy.
If, it's not just a video camera that is transformed, but the rest of the electronic items.
It was precisely because of this that Tony had to make concessions on his immediate position with the Doctor, and asked for a temporary alliance.
The question of a Transformer alone was enough to give him a headache.
If you add a doctor on the side, Tony feels like he can give up Australia.
He's confident, but he's nowhere near arrogant enough to be able to play against two opponents at the same time.
"It's all up to you, Tony Stark."
Faced with Tony's offer to collaborate, the doctor did not refuse.
"Well, for now."
Hearing the doctor's reply, Tony breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew very well that this kind of cooperation in front of him was not solid, but at least he could stabilize the situation for the time being, and pay more attention to Megatron and the Transformers.
"Standing on the side of a collaborator, I need to remind you that when it comes to Tony Stark's question about Transformers, Australia is not as cooperative as you think."
Glancing over the base in front of the ruins, the doctor suddenly looked at Tony and said something meaningful.
In the face of the doctor's words, Tony's performance suddenly fell silent.
In fact, there is no need for a reminder from the doctor, and Tony knows this.
From the point of view of the Australian government, whether it is the spaceship behind the stone gate or the Transformers, they are important assets belonging to Australia.
And, in this case, Tony is undoubtedly a less popular existence.
In the face of an uninvited guest like him, although Australia had to agree to let Tony participate in Australia's research on the ruins behind the stone gate because of the domineering of the American big brother, the reluctance and hidden attitude were naturally obvious, which can be seen from the previous colonel's performance towards him.
Originally, Tony knew all about it, so his purpose was just to confirm his goal.
As for the rest, about the mechanical wreckage behind the stone gate, and even the spaceship.
It's up to Australia and the United States to fight for.
However, after the appearance of Transformers, all this has obviously changed dramatically.
……
"Report sir, some of the researchers are trapped in the ruins."
In the ruined base after Megatron's sweep, the colonel looked at the collapsed tents around him, as well as a large number of instruments and devices destroyed by the battle, even if he had been prepared for a long time, but he was still a little distressed.
Most of these instruments were prepared by the Australian government at great expense, and they were worth enough to build four schools in Australia.
And such an expensive instrument device was destroyed by a sabotage by Megatron.
Not to mention, there are also those researchers who have been arranged to enter the stone gate.
"Immediately arrange personnel to launch a rescue operation against them!"
Giving the order to rescue the soldier in front of him, the colonel turned his head, and immediately saw Tony and the doctor.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Stark, but you've seen that the situation at the base is no longer suitable for you to continue visiting here."
His eyes swept over the doctor beside Tony, and in the face of this superhero from the United States, the colonel gave the order to evict the guest in a blunt tone.
"Perhaps, I can help you, Mr. Colonel."
"No, Mr. Stark, these are the people of Australia, and we can save ourselves."
As far as the position of the military, especially the Australian military, the colonel is obviously not friendly to superheroes like Tony.
"Okay."
Seeing the Colonel's resolute attitude, Tony also shrugged his shoulders and gave up his plan to help.
His gaze withdrew from the busy personnel in the base, and fell on the colonel in front of him, who had a straight face and a faint hint of rejection all over his body.
"Mr. Colonel, what do you think of this iron giant who has emerged from the ruins?"
“……”
Tony's question made the colonel's expression pause slightly, but he quickly retracted and shook his head.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Stark."
"No, in fact you should know very well, Mr. Colonel."
"This steel giant, it can easily destroy the base, even the fighter jets you send can't damage it, you can't even lock it on, the Australian military scrapped an expensive fighter jet, but it didn't bring the slightest chance of victory in this war."
"It was just an accident and Australia was not prepared."
Hearing Tony's words, the Colonel couldn't help but open his mouth to make a defense.
"The military will prepare for war and will not let this happen again."
In the Colonel's opinion, Megatron is terrifying, but after all, he is just a special mechanical giant, as long as the Australian military is prepared, surrounded by a large number of artillery fire, even Megatron will not have the possibility of surviving.
"It's just a giant of steel, so what about facing more legions of steel?"
"It can't be!"
Faced with Tony's words, the colonel subconsciously retorted.
Soon, however, he fell silent again.
Obviously, he also thought of the dense mechanical wreckage of those spaceships behind the stone gate.
The existence of these mechanical wrecks proves that the existence of the Iron Legion in Tony's mouth is not unreal.
"Looks like you're aware of the dangers of this Iron Giant, or, Megatron, Colonel."
Seeing that the colonel in front of him fell silent, Tony took advantage of the victory to pursue, and then continued.
"To stop Megatron, you have to know what it is trying to do, the name it has been calling out since it came out of the ruins - Tinder."
"I suppose, Mr. Colonel, you know better than I do about Tinder."
“……”
Hearing Tony's words, the expression on the colonel's face fell into a noticeable silence.
He glanced up at Tony in front of him, and then stopped at the doctor beside him for a moment before speaking slowly in a hesitant tone.
"I can't promise your request, Mr. Stark, and I need to consult the higher authorities."
"Of course."
In response, Tony hooked the corners of his mouth and made a gesture of please.
He was well aware that the Colonel's attitude had softened and that his purpose had been achieved.
……
"Let me in!"
Outside the ruins base, Corason looked at the devastated ruins, his eyes were red, and he shouted with some emotion.
"You damn guys, in order to achieve your goals, you have done so much to destroy the site of such a precious ruin......"
Because of the speed of movement, by the time Colaston arrived at the ruins, it had been a while since Megatron's battle.
All he could see was the ruins and the people who were working hard to rescue them.
Preconceived notions, they thought that this was their destruction and excavation of the ruins.
"I'm sorry, sir, but stand back!"
Raising the muzzle of the gun and pointing it at the emotional Colason in front of him, the soldiers in front of the base were not so easy to speak.
"You, you ......"
Although Corason's emotions were a little agitated by the sight of the destroyed ruins, he was not to the point of ignoring the bullets.
Facing the pitch-black muzzle in front of him, Corason's anger stopped, and he could only freeze in place, stretching out his finger angrily.
"Let him in."
Corason's move undoubtedly attracted the attention of Tony and others in the base.
Upon learning that he had been summoned by the Doctor, Tony was surprised by the Doctor's reason for letting him over, but he cooperated with Collasson to enter the base.
After all, he and the doctor are still in a situation of cooperation.
"Please leave your communications equipment with us for safekeeping."
Receiving a nod from Tony, or rather, the colonel next to Tony, the soldier lowered the muzzle of his gun, but still said to Corason.
Inside the base, the Doctor's gaze retracted from the phone that Colaston had given to the soldier, and replied to Tony's puzzled look.
"Everyone has the value of their existence, and the key is how to master it."
