Chapter 134
However, Megatron was in an extremely foul mood.
Seeing his old rival growing stronger at an astonishing rate, Megatron's heart was filled with intense unwillingness.
He gazed into the distance, his expression grim, now walking with an icy demeanor across this colossal metal planet.
"Hmph, isn't that Megatron..." The Guardians of the Galaxy had also emerged from the Dawn Spaceship. Lockdown, seeing Megatron, immediately crossed his arms and snorted.
"Get lost, Lockdown, I don't have time for you."
Megatron walked past the Guardians of the Galaxy with an indifferent expression.
"What's wrong with that guy?" Rocket Raccoon asked, bewildered. "I don't remember us offending him."
"Sometimes, a heart unwilling to settle for mediocrity is more terrifying than an actual feud," Drax said with a profound look.
Rocket Raccoon shouted, "Hey, how do you always know?"
"Yes, I've always known..."
This group of idiots looked like they were about to start arguing again.
Lockdown frowned, staring intently at Megatron's retreating back. He vaguely felt that the guy had made some crucial decision...
Megatron went directly to the Global Academy of Sciences.
"Shockwave, I have an important task for you."
Megatron said chillingly.
Shockwave immediately stopped his work and said coldly, "Of course, it would be my pleasure to serve you."
"I know the fragments of the Infinity Stones are in your possession. Now... give me those Infinity Stone fragments!" Ambition burned like flames in Megatron's eyes.
Ah, the Infinity Stones. They were exactly what he needed right now.
The many scientists in the entire Academy stopped what they were doing, looking at Megatron with astonishment.
"Though the Infinity Stones are shattered, their residual power still directly touches upon the Laws of the Universe. If you forcefully use them, the risk is immense... nothing is more dangerous than broken, disordered Laws of the Universe."
It was Wheeljack, an Autobot scientist, who spoke.
"Then find a way to restore order from their disordered state!" Megatron's eyes flashed with dazzling red light, and he forcefully poked Wheeljack's chest with a finger.
"There is a way," Shockwave said coldly. "To piece together the power of the Infinity Stones again, you need a living vessel capable of holding them. If you are not afraid of death, I will directly use your chassis as a living crucible to nurture the Infinity Stones and slowly repair their fragments."
This would involve implanting the many fragments into Megatron's body, using Megatron's chassis as a medium to link the power of the fragments.
It was an extremely risky, yet truly effective, endeavor.
Wheeljack's face turned ashen with rage. "You're insane, Shockwave, you're absolutely mad! You'll kill him!"
Shockwave exuded a cold aura. You can never discuss emotions with a Transformer who thinks purely logically.
He would only consider the most advantageous and logical plan.
"Excellent, Shockwave, proceed. You truly are my most capable assistant," Megatron praised, letting out a terrifying laugh.
"..."
Wheeljack's face was grim. He finally gritted his teeth and contacted Ratchet and Dr. Banner, beginning the process of implanting all the Infinity Stone fragments into Megatron.
"This unprecedented experiment will be led by me." Shockwave set up an experimental table, one that seemed tailor-made for Megatron, as if, through countless calculations and simulations, he had already anticipated Megatron's attempt at such a feat.
Four top scientists, all serious, began to implant the Infinity Stone fragments into Megatron.
"This is the craziest experiment I've ever done in my life," Dr. Banner muttered softly, carefully picked up a fragment of the Mind Stone, then looking solemnly at Shockwave.
Shockwave showed no hesitation, directly controlling the machine to cut an opening on Megatron's chassis surface.
As soon as an Infinity Stone fragment touched Megatron, it immediately erupted with a loud roar. A surge of yellow Mind power swept out, blasting away some weaker individuals.
"The Mind Stone fragment. Your powerful Willpower is enough to suppress it, making it the least risky choice," Ratchet said, frowning deeply.
"I feel immense power... Continue! Implant more fragments!"
Megatron lay on the experimental table, growling softly.
Soon, waves of maddened roars of pain frequently echoed from the Global Academy of Sciences, accompanied by incredibly terrifying Energy Fluctuations that suppressed everything.
The data on the energy detection devices used for monitoring soared. With each terrifying surge of light, the data on the detector exploded upwards, and Megatron's power increased at an astonishing rate...
Level Four, peak Level Four, Sub-Skyfather, peak Sub-Skyfather...
The terrifying energy index climbed in a heart-stopping manner, quickly attracting the attention of many residents.
"That Megatron fellow has gone mad!"
Five Predacons warily circled in the distance around the Academy. Feeling Megatron's wildly surging power, they exchanged glances, a mixture of awe and shock on their faces.
What a madman, to actually take such a step.
Boom!
Finally, the last surge of orange Soul power erupted, then abruptly contracted back, and everything settled.
Dr. Banner, covered in dust, emerged from a pile of experimental equipment, anxiously looking at the experimental table: "Did it succeed?"
The terrifying energy fluctuations were so frequent they nearly destroyed the entire laboratory. Such a Megatron... could it be considered a success?
Shockwave's towering figure slowly straightened. After scanning for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "It succeeded. We did it."
Whoosh!
Six slightly dim lights suddenly flickered, emitting a dazzling radiance, and a mysterious Cosmic Pressure emerged, as if facing a miniature Single Universe.
Megatron slowly rose, his dark silver chassis now adorned with shimmering fragments of different sizes, like exquisite ornaments evenly spread upon him. Yet, the four great scientists who personally conducted this experiment knew that each glimmer of light symbolized power.
This terrifying sense of oppression covered the entire Cybertron, and was sensed by many powerful beings within the World Tree.
"Excellent, absolutely excellent! I feel immense power!"
Megatron let out a chilling, terrifying laugh. This was truly magnificent; this was the taste of power.
"Shockwave, report the results."
Megatron gazed imperiously at his capable assistant.
"You now stand at the peak of the Skyfather-tier. In fact, if the six Infinity Stones hadn't been so severely shattered, with ninety-nine percent of their Laws of the Universe and power lost, you definitely wouldn't have stopped at the Skyfather-tier..." Shockwave said coldly.
Megatron revealed a bloodthirsty smile: "I won't stop at the Skyfather-tier now either. I already feel the barrier ahead. Breaking it will allow me to step into the Universe-tier. For me, it's only a matter of time!"
[Sob sob, performance is declining, please support!]
Chapter 167
Martin was personally grinding coffee when suddenly, his movements paused slightly, revealing a hint of astonishment.
"That Megatron fellow, he truly is crazy, but at least he succeeded in the end..."
Originally, he had thought that if Megatron couldn't endure, he would use the Allspark to support him, even if it meant exhausting endless Life Force and Psychic Power, at least to save Megatron's life.
Megatron actually endured it on his own.
"Skyfather-tier, huh... and a peak Skyfather-tier just one step away from Universe-tier... that's not bad. Optimus Prime's advantage was instantly nullified."
Martin finished brewing the coffee, every movement impeccable. He sniffed the faint aroma, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
There was nothing wrong with such competition.
Now, Cybertron had another powerful Skyfather-tier being.
Heavy footsteps sounded, and Megatron had already arrived before Martin.
Martin looked up, casually glancing at Megatron's chassis condition, and praised, "Not bad, you actually fully integrated a large number of Infinity Stone fragments."
On the dark silver chassis surface, six powerful and brilliant colors now displayed, emitting immense power as time passed.
Whenever Megatron activated the Infinity Stone fragments, the implanted fragments on his body would immediately light up, using Megatron's body as a medium to link their powers.
However, the overall light was extremely faint, likely due to the severe shattering of the Infinity Stones. Compared to their complete state, they were far too diminished.
This only allowed Megatron to possess peak Skyfather-tier strength.
"How do you feel now? Are there any discomforts?" Martin, holding his coffee, walked around Megatron.
"I feel fantastic. The power of the Infinity Stones has become a part of my body. This power is intoxicating."
Megatron clenched his fists, red light flickering in his eyes. Vast fluctuations of power emanated from his body, spreading outwards. The peak of the Skyfather-tier, just one step away from the noble Universe-tier God.
Martin squinted at Megatron, and on his smiling face, a profound thought stirred in the depths of his eyes.
He thought more profoundly.
After killing Thanos and defeating Chthon, he had forcefully seized the Destiny of this Universe through aggressive means. With Destiny now favoring him, he would proceed smoothly for a long time to come—and now it seemed that not only he, but even Megatron, was currently being blessed by Destiny. Such a dangerous endeavor as implanting Infinity Stones had succeeded in one go, which was simply incredible.
"Implanting shattered Infinity Stones... is this also part of the entire Destiny?"
Martin looked thoughtful.
He roughly understood why those Deities paid so much attention to the destined ones; the entire Universe seemed to yield before them.
Though, he wasn't particularly fond of this thing called Destiny.
"Where's Optimus Prime?" Megatron clenched his fist, asking in a low voice.
"That guy went to the World Tree's roots and is trying to master the Divine Power and Laws of the World Tree. Perhaps by the time he returns, he'll have surpassed you again."
"Hehehe, impossible. I'll only be faster and stronger than him!"
Megatron revealed a ferocious smile, eager for a challenge. He was impatient to compete with his old rival.
Soon, Megatron left. With each step, extremely powerful Energy Fluctuations emanated from his body, and amidst the shimmering glow, a terrifying sense of Cosmic Pressure subtly arose.
Martin drained his coffee, his gaze deep, contemplating quietly.
"Whether it's the World Tree or the Infinity Stones, they are ultimately external forces, and only external forces limited to a Single Universe. If I can't find a way to break the boundaries of a Single Universe and discover a method to truly connect the entire Multiverse, this method of getting stronger will ultimately have significant drawbacks..."
To put it simply, if this Universe were to be destroyed one day, the World Tree's Divine Power would become useless, and the Infinity Stones would become garbage. Optimus Prime and Megatron would both be instantly rendered powerless.
But it's better to take things one step at a time; having strength is better than having none.
"No matter who the enemy is, no matter what happens in the future, as long as I, Martin, am here, no one can stop my progress... not even the Gods!"
Martin put down the cup and slowly walked to a wall. With a casual wave, the wall instantly opened, revealing a hidden compartment behind it.
A blue, crystal-like long sword hung quietly.
Martin grasped the hilt and slowly lifted it. Even without swinging, the terrifying cold gleam flashing from the blade subtly severed Space-Time. Its sharpness, capable of cleaving through anything, even the most fundamental Laws of the Universe, was palpable.
"Star Sword..."
Martin squinted, carefully examining this Divine Artifact. It was the foremost offensive Divine Artifact of the Cybertronian Civilization in his previous life. Since defeating Chthon and acquiring this Divine Artifact through a Multiverse-tier Prestige Draw, he had never once used it.
Not even during the Ten Realms war had he used it. Malekith and Nidhogg, such trash, were not worthy of him using the Star Sword.
At the very least, he needed to slay a Universe-tier foe to properly inaugurate this weapon, which was destined to make even Deities tremble.
Skyfather-tier enemies were not worthy.
