Chapter 156: Devastator: Suck! Suck! Suck!
The moment tony mobilized, he eliminated the Wakandan warriors who were monitoring and tracking him. He charged onto the battlefield with the force of a thunderbolt, deviating slightly from his original path to launch an attack from the rear of the Wakandan warriors.
When the Wakandan spaceship he controlled crashed into Ross, tony knew he had succeeded.
At the moment of impact, tony remotely controlled the spaceship Transformer to secretly open a hatch, drawing Ross and his companions inside in one swift motion. Then, the smaller Transformers already lying in wait within immediately knocked them all unconscious.
Everything transpired in the blink of an eye.
With his ruthless methods, tony had wiped out the entire Headquarters in one fell swoop.
While the Wakandan soldiers were slaughtering the Military personnel at the front, tony attacked from behind. His advance was unstoppable; hundreds were instantly killed by tony's Legion, and more and more warriors fell.
Devastator broke through the enemy lines. tony had now embedded a Core Module into each of Devastator's Transformer components, causing its Combat Power to soar. Although this significantly increased the difficulty of controlling it, tony, who was just a hair's breadth away from Level Four, didn't mind the extra strain.
Optimus Prime was positioned slightly behind, its numerous energy cannons spraying Allspark particles.
At this time on Earth, the Chitauri had not yet delivered equipment and technology to humanity. Energy weapons were not yet widespread, and it was indeed a great effort for tony to get his hands on some.
tony had already learned about the Wakandan warriors' weapons while analyzing their spaceship. The awkward part was that tony had no Vibranium, and all of Wakanda's weapons were related to Vibranium.
"I need to rendezvous with the soldiers showing signs of collapse as quickly as possible..."
tony frowned slightly. Energy weapons were too troublesome. Aside from the twenty Transformers equipped with Core Modules, the other units would suffer considerable damage.
The forty-plus Transformers of his Legion formed a ferocious, interlocking web of firepower, leaving no blind spots under tony's control.
With the Headquarters taken out, tony had an opportunity to seize control.
"This is Lieutenant tony. All personnel, converge on my position immediately! The enemy won't give us time to scatter and flee to the coast! All Carrier Battle Groups, deploy your fighters at once and conduct carpet bombing on the following locations! The coordinates are..."
Using a headset with a frequency he had altered, tony issued orders to the remaining troops, simultaneously requesting the carriers to bomb several locations.
After a moment, a Major General on one of the carriers contacted him.
"Lieutenant, I need a reason."
"My Legion will inflict effective casualties on the enemy. If we don't make them suffer, no one will get out of here alive. Wakanda's aircraft won't spare our warships either!"
The carrier's commander fell silent for a moment before issuing the order: "Commence bombing at the following coordinates..."
This was a very risky move. Some even thought the Major General had gone mad. Why would he listen to an untrustworthy Mutant?
But the Major General knew this was the smartest move. It wasn't that there weren't officers on the front lines with higher rank than tony, but everyone was fighting their own battles, and the Headquarters had been wiped out.
In a situation like this, even the worst command was ten thousand times better than indecision. Hesitation meant waiting for death, with no hope of survival. It was better to let tony, who was on the front lines, call the shots.
As for the specific details of command, those battalion and regiment commanders weren't idiots; they would know how to best execute the plan.
Urged on by the hoarse shouts of the remaining officers, more than thirty thousand soldiers began to converge on tony's position.
This was an opportunity. If he succeeded, tony would become a "Superhero" in people's hearts. If he failed, with the commanders all but "wiped out," he would be the perfect scapegoat.
tony's expression was impassive. On this chaotic battlefield, he slowly spread his arms.
Following tony's movements, the forty-two-meter-tall Devastator opened its ferocious metal maw and let out an incredibly deep roar. A terrifying suction force began to build, growing stronger and stronger.
This absorbing force grew more and more powerful, erupting with a deafening noise!
This was a trump card tony had prepared!
An unrivaled suction pulled everything into that great maw, which was composed of countless metal meat grinders, and pulverized it completely.
"What did he do?!"
A Wakandan pilot screamed in terror!
Even the Wakandan aircraft teetered before this suction! The nearest spaceship was simply devoured by Devastator. The sight of the massive, layered, grinding gears within its mouth—enough to make one's skin crawl—was enough to make anyone with weak nerves break down on the spot.
The despair of struggling with all their might, only to watch helplessly as they were dragged toward the meat grinder to be brutally torn to shreds, drove many people insane on the spot.
What is this monster? What kind of ability is this? It's unheard of!
The Wakandan warriors on the ground were in an even worse state. Rhinoceroses and men alike were dragged by the immense suction, flying into Devastator's mouth to become a bloody pulp.
At that moment, the forty-two-meter-tall Devastator became like a mythical giant beast that could swallow heaven and earth, devouring everything in its sight!
tony and his Legion stood tightly behind Devastator, clustered together, coldly watching this unimaginable slaughter.
Tons of matter were ferociously devoured and shredded by Devastator. The grass and even the deeper layers of sand and stone on the ground were completely uprooted by the immense suction, as if it intended to swallow the entire continent.
From time to time, thoroughly pulverized materials could be seen spilling from Devastator's mouth.
But Devastator was also sustaining increasingly severe damage. Whether it was the energy cannon attacks from the enemies' desperate struggles or the Vibranium-based weapons of the spaceships, they all increased the difficulty of grinding them up.
If tony weren't so determined—with a fierce expression, willing to wipe out everything in sight in one go regardless of the cost—by frantically repairing and resupplying parts, Devastator's head might have been worn down to nothing by now.
As time went on, some semi-Vibranium composite materials animated by tony were also used to replace parts on Devastator.
This was a feast—an utterly insane, gluttonous feast.
Countless horrified expressions and shrill screams did not cause tony's expression to change in the slightest. The only thing on his face was a deep ruthlessness.
tony was no stranger to this all-encompassing despair. That day, that nightmarish day, it was in despair that he had lost everything—and gained everything.
This frenzied slaughter continued until the main force drew near. This insane scene was filmed by a recorder within the Military, and the soldiers who had been saved by tony at the beginning and had followed him since wore expressions of shock and fanaticism.
On this battlefield filled with sin and madness, tony was, at this moment, shining with boundless radiance. His ordinary body, though it seemed incredibly small before Devastator, emitted an indelible brilliance.
Many years later, soldiers who had luckily survived the battlefield, even when old and frail, would still fanatically grab others to recount this deity-like scene.
"Back then, on the battlefield in Wakanda, the master of Cybertron saved my life..."
