Fu Qinghai ignored the beer foam still ticking on the instrument, wiped his mouth and immediately jumped off the seat, ran quickly to the stairs, jumped all the way through several stairs, and finally simply started the jetpack and flew directly to the top floor of the data hall.

Fu Qinghai pushed open the door.

Look at the old Cybertron who is still sitting at the table with a pen in his hand and writing and drawing.

"So, everything was expected by you, wasn't it?" Fu Qinghai stared at Master Ti's back, "I know very well what it means to be a 'vested interest class', unless the muzzle of the gun is on the head, it is impossible for the Supreme Council to willingly put down the power in its hands." Although Orion Pikes is young and naïve, he is not a fool, he cannot be at the mercy of the Supreme Council as a puppet, once he is put in power, he is bound to set off a change, and the Supreme Council is reforming his own life! ”

Master Titanium is still writing.

Fu Qinghai said word by word:

"So, you told the High Council that Orion is Optimus Prime, and it was you who told the High Council that you wanted Orion Pikes to be the leader, am I right?"

Master Titanium finally stopped writing.

"You're sharp, human warrior."

The old Cybertron turned:

"Back when you were talking to Orion Pikes about Earth politics, I could see that you weren't just a general, you had a deep political consciousness, and you were completely stronger than Orion Pikes, a political amateur. You're right, Aoyama, it's me who asked the Supreme Council to appoint Orion Pikes as the new leader and give him the new name 'Optimus Prime'. ”

Fu Qinghai stared at the huge book on the desktop and asked:

"If you let Optimus Prime lead Cybertron, Megatron and Decepticons will certainly not agree, in my opinion, civil war is imminent and inevitable, and the planet is about to fall into conflict, bloodshed and burning, did you also anticipate all this? Is that what you'd expect? ”

Master Ti followed Fu Qinghai's gaze and looked at the "Cybertron Covenant" in front of him and the iron pen in his hand, couldn't help but smile dumbly, shook his head and said:

"You're mistaken, Aoyama."

"This book is called The Covenant of Cybertron, and I created this Covenant in the aftermath of the War of the Ancestors, which includes the entire history of Cybertron and the people in its history, and can be traced back to the Emperor of the Universe and the Primordial Celestial. As you might have guessed, the covenant also includes the future—though some parts of it are unstable. ”

"I can foresee certain things that are bound to happen because they seem so certain in the covenant that they seem to have already happened. But I'm not entirely sure what I see will come true. I carry the burden of knowing the future, and this burden can only be carried by me. But my burden is occasionally lightened – because I know that the future can change at any time. ”

Speaking of this, Master Titanium laughed at himself.

"But I saw you writing and drawing on the Covenant, what is going on?"

Fu Qinghai frowned and continued to ask.

Master Titanium smiled and explained:

"Of course, I have other powers - this iron pen. Young Orion Pikes didn't know how powerful this pen was, it was actually an artifact left behind by the Thirteen Ancestors, and it was also the most powerful weapon known in the universe. Through this pen, I can write the future into the Covenant. Theoretically, these things would have happened as long as I had written in future chapters, but the power was dangerous to use, and future modifications might not be sustainable, or even worse, so I almost never used it. I'm just documenting what has happened. ”

Master Titanium said meaningfully:

"In addition, the Covenant itself has a final chapter, and it is a pure book of fate."

Fu Qinghai understood.

There is no shortage of powerful soothsayers in the Warhammer 40k universe.

The most powerful prophet of the Human Empire, the Emperor, the most powerful prophet of the Aydarin, Adrad, the most powerful prophet of the space necromancer, Orikan the Astrologer...... In addition to Tzeentch, a pure god of joy who fears that the universe will not be chaotic, all of the above-mentioned people who have the power of prophecy want to use prophecy to strengthen their own race, and Master Titan, as a Cybertron, must be no exception.

However, he can't and doesn't dare to abuse this prophetic power, because just like the prophecy in the Warhammer 40k universe, through the "Covenant", Master Titanium sees only a fragment of the future and not the whole content, and there is an old saying in China that can well describe this situation - if you lose your horse, you will not know if you are blessed. For example, if he sees Cybertron in the midst of a civil war and thinks that this future is not good, and he intervenes to rewrite the future, will that incur more serious consequences......

Like the complete extinction of the Cybertrons?

"I see."

Fu Qinghai nodded and said:

"One last question, Master Titanium, do you support the Autobots or the Decepticons?"

Fu Qinghai was relatively negative in the entire plot line before, like a bystander who had been standing by. Two reasons: First, I found that I couldn't get assimilation points and didn't deduct assimilation points for killing Cybertrons, and I didn't understand the division of factions. Second, he always felt that someone was hiding behind the scenes and controlling everything, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

He met Orion and Master Titanium in the Iron Castle, and for a long time, he always felt that this stall manager had a superior demeanor, and Master Titanium behaved like a very riddler, like a sweeping monk in the Iron Castle Data Hall. Now that the civil war is about to begin, and he wants to participate in the civil war to earn assimilation points, then Master Titan's attitude will be especially important.

"Hehe, Aoyama."

Master Titanium shook his head and said:

"I've lived from the time of the Thirteen Ancestors to the present, and I've seen more serious disasters and wars than now, do you think it's important for me whether the Decepticons or the Autobots are still the Autobots?"

"I see."

Fu Qinghai nodded, and secretly said that he was really stupid, for people like Master Titanium, what kind of crazy Bo faction, what Decepticon Autobots, are all things that the juniors did later. Master Titanium is definitely one of the Thirteen Ancestors, and he must not support any of them, what he values is the entire Cybertron, and he only cares about the overall interests of Cybertron, not one faction.

"Orion Pikes is my friend, and in this civil war, whether he asks me for help or not, I will do everything I can to help him win, then you ......"

Fu Qinghai looked at Master Titanium and asked cautiously.

Master Titanium waved his hand and said:

"As the new leader said, every human being is born free, whether human or Cybertronian. Do whatever you want, so why ask me? I'm just a dying old man, and I won't hold you back. ”

"Okay."

Fu Qinghai got his answer, and was about to say goodbye, but Master Titanium suddenly stopped him:

"Still, Aoyama ......"

"How?"

Fu Qinghai raised his head.

"It's not just you who have problems with me, in fact, I have several problems with you. I've just answered your question, and I hope you can give me some advice. ”

Master Titanium said as he flipped the "Cybertron Covenant" in front of the table, and said seemingly casually:

"One of the peculiarities of Covenants is that the reader, who exists at some point in time, may not be able to understand the language when reading a passage about the future. Even I can only understand a small part of the future chapters. The further into the future, the more ambiguous the content becomes, and the more difficult the wording becomes. The first page of the Covenant, for example, is written in the ancient Cybertronic language, which has been used for thousands of sidereal cycles. The last page of the Covenant was written in an unfamiliar language that no one knows about the entire planet of Cybertron...... Can you tell me, Aoyama, why would I write the Covenant in this script in the future? ”

Master Ti casually flipped to the back pages of the book, and suddenly lifted the entire huge book to show Fu Qinghai to see.

This is...... High Gothic!?

Fu Qinghai looked at the fragments of obscure words in "Cybertron's Covenant", and his heart was suddenly shocked.

"Smack!"

Master Titanium reluctantly closed the book.

"I saw that your child's hole was tightened, I guessed correctly, you really know this kind of writing, Qingshan."

Master Titanium laughed and said:

"You can't see more, if you get a glimpse of the future, it will affect your choices, and the future will not be the future. Go, Aoyama, do what you want to do, don't be presumptuous, you are already part of the future. ”

……

Fu Qinghai left the data hall with a lot of concern, but he didn't know that on the other side, after the Supreme Council announced Orian Pikes as the supreme leader, there were more conflicts breaking out one after another, and the whole situation was almost inconclusive.

……

Iron Castle, Council Hall.

The atmosphere in the council hall crackled with tension for a moment, and then suddenly erupted into a state of utter chaos out of control: the presidents of the various unions shouted and slapped the tables in indignation, and they could not accept that the council should entrust such a great duty to an anonymous data recorder, while the other data recorders rejoiced. The gladiators who had come from afar in the Great Wasteland could not help but speak ill of their leader, Megatron, who had come to see their leader Megatron seize power.

Orion Pikes was stunned.

He slowly looked around, and for a moment he couldn't figure out how the chaos had happened.

Optimus Prime? I'm Optimus Prime now?

Why is a data logger called Optimus Prime and has to go looking for a leadership module?

As soon as this question arises, another question arises: What right does he have to refuse?

The Supreme Council took a cycle to greet the new leader, and then retreated to the bottom of the podium, leaving only the Halo Councillor, who banged the gavel to signal everyone to keep order, and then asked Optimus Prime to step forward.

"It's tense right now." The aura ignored the cacophony that had faded away, "Cybertron chooses the truly sharp flames. Optimus Prime, be sure to guide us through the coming chaotic times. ”

Optimus Prime slowly walked to the witness stand. He suddenly realized in anguish that he was being watched closely. He paused for a moment, then said in the most serious tone possible:

"I don't deserve this duty."

"Pretending to be modest."

Megatron said sarcastically.

The voice was soft and scathing, and only Optimus Prime could hear it, and he turned his head to look at Megatron in shock. He didn't notice that Megatron followed him to the witness stand.

"Pretend to be modest!"

Megatron repeated it again loudly.

He turned to the stands and said:

"My friend Orien Pikes came and said he wanted to make peace, and he said he didn't want to see all kinds of unorganized violence trigger civil war! He invited me with him in the name of friendship and trust, and he brought me here under the guise of mediation and peace talks – but all he really wanted was power! ”

As soon as Megatron's words fell, a thunderous response rang out again, and his supporters crowded to the front of the stands.

And on the ground, in the audience, Optimus Prime supporters gathered together to go toe-to-toe with Megatron's supporters.

Optimus Prime turned back and forth and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, but he didn't think that everyone would listen to him from his heart - but surprisingly, everyone actually quieted down, and the commotion in the whole venue gradually subsided.

"I didn't think it would be like this."

Optimus Prime said seriously:

"I didn't want that to be the case until now. If I could, I would like to continue working as a data logger and read the data in the communication network at my workstation. ”

"But I believe in Cybertron, and I believe in the history of Cybertron that I read as a note-taker. I believe in the legends that whenever Cybertron is in a critical moment, someone will always appear to illuminate the darkest of times. ”

"I don't know if I'm that person or not, but I respect the Supreme Council and our traditions, if they decide so...... Then I will do my best to complete my duties. ”

He lowered his arms and looked around the council hall.

Then he turned his head to look at Megatron:

"Brother." He said, "You believe me, don't you?" ”

"Optimus Prime."

Megatron said. He stared at Optimus Prime for a long, long time, as if he had seen Orion Pikes, the data recorder of the mediocre Iron Castle Data Office, suddenly involved in a major event that he could not control or understand.

Then, Megatron looked away:

"It doesn't matter if I don't believe you, brother. I used to believe in you. If we start this movement together, then we have to do it together. If the Supreme Council thinks you are the next leader, that is their prerogative. ”

For a moment, Optimus Prime felt that Megatron had calmly accepted this fact, but then Megatron's next move surprised him.

He turned to the stands and shouted:

"Optimus Prime! Do you have a leadership module? Where are your heroic deeds? Could it be that the great Cybertron found a data logger in a time of crisis? ”

"Brothers......

Optimus Prime raised his hand and said.

"Stop calling you a brother!"

Megatron roared.

Then he came to the Supreme Council:

"This ...... Farce will be the last straw of injustice, and will only provoke the neglected classes to rise up and revolt. Condemn them if you wish, but don't forget to condemn yourselves. Because you know that under the shackles of the class system and the guild system, some people have been hurt, but look at what you have done? You sent troops to suppress it. What are you going to do when those people don't submit to your army? You've got a new leader, a new leader, a new dictator! ”

Megatron raised his voice again and continued:

"A new dictator, make sure that the Supreme Council can safely hide behind the podium, maintain the old order in Cybertron, and let the guild president and those in the upper echelons continue to watch us fight each other in the gladiatorial arena with peace of mind!"

Megatron pointed to the stands and shouted:

"Do you want to stay in the Colosseum?"

"No!"

"This Optimus Prime, this puppet of the Supreme Council wants to lock you up, will you let it go?"

"No!"

"See? Brothers? Megatron viciously squeezed the last two words out of his teeth as he turned to Optimus Prime, "They don't want to be controlled by you, they want to be free." ”

"I don't want to control them either, and I, like you, believe that freedom is the right of all intelligent beings."

Optimus Prime Road.

"You're lying!"

Megatron's expression was distorted by anger, and his emotions were so agitated that he almost deformed.

"Lie!"

There was an echo from above the stands.

Optimus Prime guessed that it was the sound waves that were echoing Megatron.

"No!" Optimus Prime exclaimed, "I don't want to be a leader, but I won't shirk if necessary. If you want to break the laws of Cybertron and the legacy of its leaders, then I should be the leader. Brother, the way it is now is not what I want to see, in fact, I would prefer to work with you to bring about the changes that we think must be achieved. ”

"You didn't tell me how to cooperate." Megatron replied nonchalantly, "While you're still busy listening to the filtered communications network, I've already figured out how to do it. You learned all the so-called development methods from me. From now on, you will learn more from me. The Supreme Council appointed you as its leader? I'm against it! I lead the Decepticons of Cybertron, and I fight for the freedom of all Cybertrons! ”

"Silence! Quiet! ”

Councillor Halo kept banging on the gavel, trying to suppress the dissent in the room.

"You must obey the decisions of the Supreme Council!"

Councilor Halo said loudly:

"This is not the gladiatorial arena of Caron City, Megatron, don't want to disrupt the order of the meeting."

"This is not your council hall anymore, Councillor Halo." Megatron responded to him, "Don't you remember? You've just designated Optimus Prime as your leader, so now it's up to him. And I refuse to recognize his leadership – and I refuse to obey you, and this Supreme Council! ”

Megatron turned to Optimus Prime and added:

"And you, brother. You betrayed those words you said to me in the first place. I should have expected that. ”

"You must not speak to the leader like this—"

Before Councilor Halo could finish saying this, Megatron completely lost his patience. His arm shifted mechanically, revealing the muzzle of the fusion cannon, and with a flash of blinding blue light, the Halo Councilor's podium was blown to pieces.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Everyone was shocked by the sudden turn of events.

Then, in a short cycle, a series of events took place. The parliamentary guards were mobilized en masse, and twenty-six heavily armed, formidable Transformers dispersed across the hall, locking onto the audience and the councillor's seats in all directions—now thirteen podiums became twelve, and black smoke was emitting from the middle position.

The bataspirit crept onto the Flying Cloud's shoulder in horror. The sound of weapons unlocking and the rapid transformation of the mech reverberated through the council halls, and Megatron's supporters prepared to shoot the entire hall from the stands, and the Autobots on the ground prepared to fight. All of a sudden, missiles were erected, shells were loaded, various small arms devices flickered, and everywhere there was a hissing sound from the movement of energy.

"Stop!"

Optimus Prime hurriedly shouted.

He knew very well that if someone set fire in the council hall, the entire building would be destroyed, and the casualties would be countless, including many important people.

Enough to directly detonate the civil war in Cybertron.

Optimus Prime gradually understands that no matter what his goals and ideals are, he can't stop Megatron from going to extremes, and he can't stop his large following.

Optimus Prime stands between the guns of Megatron and the Parliamentary Guard. "You are not allowed to shoot him." He ordered, "There can be no conflict in the halls of the council, and if you regard me as a leader, then you must obey my commands." ”

The guards hesitated for a moment before lowering their weapons.

Very well, Optimus Prime thought to himself, I have power.

"Well done, Leader." Megatron stood behind Optimus Prime and said in a strange manner, annoyed by the sarcasm in his tone, but he ignored it.

"But what if I let the gladiators fire at you?" Megatron asked, "Do you think they'll hesitate because you're the leader?" ”

"I'm sure any Cybertron person trusts the idea of Cybertron."

Optimus Prime replied without looking back:

"If I die defending the idea of Cybertron, it's worth it."

There was silence again, shorter but no less tense than before. On the edge of the stands, the weapons of the gladiators were densely arranged. There are a large number of barrels and antennas gathered around the council podium, and the Autobots are mostly dealing with the Decepticons, but some of their weapons are aimed at the parliamentary guards beyond Optimus Prime.

Glued, very glued.

Optimus Prime is sure that this will happen again in the future.

He didn't look at Megatron, he just waited.

"Decepticons."

Megatron finally said:

"Retreat for now."

After a tidal click, the Decepticons put away their weapons and stood quietly, waiting for Megatron's command. Optimus Prime turned to face his friend.

"I'll keep your advice in mind,"

Optimus Prime said with a complicated expression:

"And your friendship."

"I will also keep in mind your advice, and your betrayal." Megatron glared at him and said coldly, "Now that you've been chosen, you've fallen into the trap they set, and I can tell that you enjoy staying in the trap." ”

Megatron took a step back and raised his hand to signal to the gladiators, and soon, not only the gladiators, but also several Cybertrons on the first floor reacted and immediately took their positions.

"See how many of us there are? And that's just in the council halls, how many people do you think are waiting for you in the Great Wasteland? How many people are there in Slaughter City and Karon City? ”

Megatron asked coldly:

"Are you ready to die?"

"No matter how many Decepticons you get from the Colosseum, I'm ready to do whatever it takes."

Optimus Prime had an angry expression.

"It doesn't matter how many Autobots you gather from the library and data room." Megatron's voice turned cold with rage, "The Decepticons will stop you. You have council support, but it's hard to say who will get the leadership module in the end. ”

He changed his form and prepared to leave, and all the Decepticons in the hall changed shape with him. The wheels and tracks went straight through the wall, leaving behind the smashed and shattered wall, and more than half of the stands were pushed to the ground. The flying Decepticons hovered above the vault of the council podium, waiting for Megatron's next instruction, their weapon systems and engine vents humming.

Fragments of rubble continued to fall on the stands, and the rest of the people ducked, and the bolder ones dared to push away the steel debris and concrete blocks that had fallen on them.

Megatron crashed the vault into a hole and flew away.

The search party followed and left.

Optimus Prime watched them leave, with a heavy heart.

Megatron finally took a stand.

The matter is completely irreparable.

……

Iron Castle, top floor of the Data Logging Hall.

In the quiet study, Master Titanium put his hand on the cover of the iron book and said two names gently and loudly:

"Optimus Prime."

"Aoyama Khan."

…………
