Chapter 63
They resisted desperately, killing several Transformers consecutively, but ultimately had their limbs severed and were captured alive.
"Why? We've never offended Martin!" Madame Gao was soaked in blood, her face filled with despair.
But it was useless.
The Hand, which had existed for hundreds of years, met its end in a blaze of war. Although there were still many remnants of The Hand's power around the world, they were of no consequence.
The five blood-soaked leaders were dragged back to the Earth Base.
"Welcome, five esteemed amputees."
Martin was holding a cup of alluringly fragrant coffee in his right hand. Two bright gems shimmered, like exquisite ornaments. He sat calmly in his chair, gesturing to the five old undying ones.
"Martin! We surrender, the entire Hand is yours!" Murakami let out a shrill scream. His torso, all that remained of him, writhed like a caterpillar, seemingly trying to ingratiate himself, but only making it more disgusting.
"A bunch of trashy ninjas from The Hand, what use do I have for them? I can casually create a group of Transformers who are better fighters, more skilled in assassination and combat than them... I only need the Divine Dragon Power within you five."
Martin had a smile on his face, a smile that, to the five esteemed amputees, looked utterly demonic.
Martin opened his hand, reached out his right, and first seized Madame Gao by the neck. A massive absorbing force emanated, devouring everything about her.
"This amount of Divine Dragon Power is far from enough."
Martin pondered for a moment, then walked towards the other four. He acted on each in turn, completely disregarding their screams, devouring all the Divine Dragon Power from their bodies. Only then did he satisfy the basic requirements for unlocking.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for unlocking an Ancient Transformer, rewarding you with the Transformer [Grimlock]."
Grimlock!
A Tyrannosaurus Rex-shaped Transformer with formidable strength.
【Grimlock】
【Belonging to the Dinosaur Legion, a sub-group of the Autobot Army】
【Personality: Reckless (Impact Strength +20%)】
【Height: 16 meters】
【Energy: Eight million】
【Chassis: Healthy】
【Combat Power: Level Three】
【Motto: Among the victors, there is no place for the weak.】
【Evaluation: Commander of the Dinosaur Legion, reckless in nature but with hidden cunning, he created Computron, the strongest Combiner of the Autobots. He has saved the Autobots multiple times, disregards Optimus Prime's leadership, and frequently challenges him to duels.】
In the movie version, Grimlock is Optimus Prime's mount. In the G1 animated version, he was created by Autobot scientist Wheeljack, combining the CNA genes of Transformers with dinosaur fossils from Earth.
"It's actually this big guy."
Martin looked at Grimlock, a smile playing on his lips.
Originally, it would have been best if a Predaking had appeared. Even a single Predaking is a formidable character capable of challenging Primes one-on-one. Even using one as a mount would be an extremely majestic and domineering act.
However, Grimlock isn't bad either.
As soon as Grimlock appeared, he immediately roared skyward, his voice deep: "Me!"
His fierce gaze swept around, finally landing on Optimus Prime, and immediately, a sense of disdain arose.
"Hmph, very well, Optimus Prime, since you're here, let's settle this with a decisive battle. Only the winner is qualified to lead all the Autobots!"
Grimlock strode forward, his colossal steel form charging ferociously.
He found Optimus Prime extremely displeasing; it was something ingrained in his very being. Having just been born, if this were Martin's previous life, the impulsive and reckless Grimlock would utterly ignore Optimus Prime's commands. He would rather follow his own will, crashing wildly through battlefields.
Megatron let out a strange laugh, stepping back to create space. With arms crossed, his blood-red eyes swirled, full of mischievous amusement.
"Very well, Dinosaur. If you lose, you can join my Decepticons. Your temperament is naturally suited for the Decepticons." Megatron chuckled softly.
"Get lost! I don't need to join anyone; I'll make everyone join me!"
Grimlock moved with a thunderous roar, like a walking mountain, exuding immense deterrence.
Martin even laughed then; this dinosaur was the most peculiar he had ever seen, challenging Optimus Prime to a duel the moment he appeared.
Grimlock found Optimus Prime displeasing in every way. It was like this in his previous life, and it remained so even after coming to the Marvel Universe.
He wanted to fight at first sight.
Optimus Prime fell silent for a moment, then directly drew the greatsword from his back. With a casual swing, terrifying blue-purple lightning flashed, its aura daunting, accompanied by howling winds.
Boom!
Optimus Prime plunged the greatsword into the ground, creating a massive ripple of energy.
"You don't need to challenge me, Grimlock. If you can lift this sword, I'll concede." Optimus Prime released his grip and stepped back, his face expressionless.
Grimlock burst into laughter, his gigantic 16-meter body swaying, shaking the ground. He pointed a claw at the sword on the ground, then at his own chest: "Me, Grimlock! Can't I even lift a sword? Optimus Prime, if your small frame can use it, then it's even less of a problem for me! You'll regret this!"
Grimlock's demeanor was arrogant, as if he had heard a great joke.
Optimus Prime shrugged and made a gesture to invite him.
Grimlock sneered, his two claws directly grasping the hilt, and terrifying power erupted.
Grimlock grasped the greatsword.
Grimlock began to pull the sword.
Terrifying power erupted, and the ground immediately cracked open.
The greatsword remained utterly still. Its weight far exceeded its size, as if directly connected to the Earth's Core. Lifting this sword would be like trying to drag a planet.
"Hmm?"
Grimlock released his grip, stared down with wide eyes, and froze.
"What kind of sword is this? How can it be so heavy?"
Grimlock's eyes widened. Refusing to believe it, he roared skyward, his two small claws fiercely pounding his chest, emitting a massive tremor that resonated for miles around. One could imagine the sheer magnitude of his strength! In terms of pure power, even Optimus Prime couldn't match him!
"I, Grimlock!"
"Today, I will definitely lift this sword and become the supreme leader of the Autobot Army!"
Grimlock stomped his foot heavily into the ground, took a stance, and once again grasped the greatsword, his ferocious blue pupils glaring at Optimus Prime.
Optimus Prime's face was indifferent: "I'm waiting for you to pull the sword out."
This nonchalance completely infuriated the big guy, Grimlock.
"Rise!!"
Terrifying immense power erupted, and the entire Iron Base suddenly produced a terrifying roar. Fortunately, the base utilized a large amount of Vibranium elements as its main structural framework material, making it incredibly sturdy.
But even so, many fragile materials were still affected, beginning to crack and crumble in the face of this terrifying power, a truly shocking sight.
Dr. Banner watched this scene dumbfounded. His entire body swayed with the impact, trembling all over.
"Th-th-this is too terrifying..." Dr. Banner whispered.
Suddenly, half of his face swelled and turned green, and Hulk burst out, roaring: "His strength is even greater than Hulk's!"
He felt a bit inferior.
Hulk's strongest attribute was strength, yet he had been pounded half to death by Megatron's fists. Now, here, many people present possessed far greater strength than him.
Grimlock roared repeatedly, his two legs sinking deep into the ground, yet... the sword remained utterly still.
"What material is this sword made of? Why can't even I budge it?"
Grimlock was utterly bewildered.
This was completely unscientific, beyond his comprehension.
At the very least, it should have swayed a little, yet there wasn't even the slightest tremor. It truly seemed rooted to the Earth's Core.
Optimus Prime strode forward, pushed Grimlock aside, and snorted: "Watch closely."
He merely reached out a hand to rest on the hilt, then gave a gentle tug, and the sword lifted effortlessly, as if it weighed nothing at all. The movement was incredibly light and casual.
"???"
Grimlock fell silent. His already not-so-bright mind seemed to freeze entirely.
After a long moment, he opened his mouth wide and roared: "Very well, Optimus Prime, you've won. I will obey you from now on."
"Mm."
Optimus Prime remained expressionless, as if he had performed a trivial task. Moreover, within his calm, there seemed to be an impatience at wasting time, and the glance he cast inadvertently held a deeper meaning.
This made Grimlock even less able to fathom Optimus Prime's true confidence, and he immediately felt a profound respect. Unconsciously, a hint of awe for Optimus Prime blossomed within him.
"Ah, you won, Optimus Prime. Your immense strength actually surpasses mine, Grimlock."
Grimlock spoke in a deep, peculiar tone, his small claw pointing at his chest again: "I will keep my promise and honor you as leader, but don't get complacent. When I become stronger in the future, I will still challenge you!"
Optimus Prime hung the greatsword on his back and said indifferently: "When you can pull out this sword, then we can talk about challenges."
"Ahh!!"
Grimlock let out an angry roar, and with thundering footsteps, he strode away, his mood utterly foul.
After Grimlock ran far off, everyone present couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"When he learns the truth, he'll fight you to the death." Martin burst out laughing, teasing Optimus Prime.
Optimus Prime lifted his chin: "He'll have to lift this sword first, then. He chose this himself; I didn't force him."
Indeed, a truly amusing scene.
Foolish Grimlock.
An ordinary person couldn't even lift that sword. Even if Martin were to try, he'd need to rely on the power of the Supreme Divine Armor and Infinity Gems to forcibly break the rules and wrench it up. If he relied solely on some whimsical "recognition" nonsense, he wouldn't be able to lift it even if it killed him.
He wasn't a person with a pure heart — except when it came to ambition.
"This weapon, forged by combining Thor's Hammer and Stormbreaker (primarily made of Uru material) with the Transformation Gold obtained from lottery draws and a massive amount of Vibranium unearthed during this period, also possesses the characteristic of testing one's heart."
Martin gazed at the greatsword on Optimus Prime's back, a look of marvel on his face...
This greatsword had already touched the threshold of a Universe-tier Divine Artifact.
It's no exaggeration to say that, among those present, aside from Optimus Prime who could wield it effortlessly, not a single other person could master this greatsword without brute force.
This greatsword was custom-made specifically for Optimus Prime, representing the pinnacle of research and manufacturing by Shockwave and others to date.
For a simpleton like Grimlock, being able to budge the greatsword would truly be a ghost's tale.
