A Higher Level

Can humans turn into Transformers?

Impossible!

One is Carbon-based lifeforms, the other a Silicon-based lifeforms; they're not even the same species, their core life elements are completely different. Anyone with a brain knows the probability is zero. So the question is, how did Russell manage to do it?

"As you can see, I am a magician, and shapeshifting is my specialty. Once I identify a target, I can transform into their appearance and possess all their abilities." Russell began to fabricate the story with a straight face. Because he had transformed into Starscream before, almost everyone believed him, even though they didn't understand a word he said.

"Russell, do magicians really exist in the world?"

The most shocked person was Sam. Optimus Prime and the others were outsiders whose knowledge of Earth came from the internet. They were only slightly surprised to learn that there was a profession called wizard on Earth. But Sam was a native. Upon hearing that wizards actually existed and even seeing one in person, his worldview was immediately shattered, and he felt that he had been a complete novice for the past 18 years.

"Genuine!" Russell raised his hand and waved it, a dazzling Electric Arc flashing from his fingertips, continuing to strike at Sam's fragile Mind Stone.

"Incredible! Your transformed Starscream is even more powerful than the real Starscream!" Jazz exclaimed. "According to you, besides Starscream, you can also transform into our likeness?"

Russell nodded. "That's right!"

"Optimus Prime too?"

"Certainly!"

The Jazz clicked his tongue in amazement, pointing to himself with great interest. "Can you become me too? Can you transform into me just once and show me?"

Russell immediately put on a disgusted face and said dismissively, "No, you're too weak. Becoming you would only be a waste of Magic Power."

Jazz: "..."

Let me tell you, if you hadn't saved my life, I guarantee I would have shot you dead.

Ironhide patted Jazz on the shoulder. Having survived the war and witnessed Megatron's death, he was full of hope for the future. In high spirits, he couldn't help but joke, "Jazz, don't be sad. Mr. Russell was just telling the truth. As a brave Cybertron warrior, you must face the harsh reality."

Jazz: "..."

Let me tell you, if we weren't old comrades-in-arms, I guarantee I'd destroy your oil pipeline with a single shot.

The America soldiers who had been observing the battlefield moved from the edge of the battlefield and cheered around Megatron's corpse.

Because of the energy shield, America soldiers have made virtually no contribution on the battlefield, which could very well affect the Autobots' status on Earth. Optimus Prime and the others will no longer be in such an awkward position as in the original story, becoming cannon fodder that can be discarded at any time.

Looking at the cheering warriors, Optimus Prime felt a sense of relief and knelt down to approach Russell: "Mr. Russell, do you think we Autobots will be accepted by the human government?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Although we come from different worlds, witnessing your courage and strength, I have to admit that you possess great power. Also, I can sense that the Decepticon exiled in space are approaching Earth..." Optimus Prime pondered for a moment, his words tinged with worry. "I suspect that besides the AllSpark, there is something else on Earth that is attracting them."

Russell nodded without speaking. Optimus Prime's intuition was accurate; the Fallen were lurking on Mars, Sentinel Prime's conspiracy had just begun, the crisis continued, and Earth remained in danger.

"I don't know who the enemy is, or where they are hiding, but I know for sure that their target is Earth..." Optimus Prime continued, "I want to lead the Autobots to stay on Earth and join forces with humanity to fight against the unknown enemy, but can the human government really tolerate our existence?"

At this point, Optimus Prime cast a deeply affectionate gaze...

In Russell's view, Optimus Prime's eyes were like that; they weren't asking for advice, but rather wanting him to put in a good word for him.

Russell couldn't help with this; he was just a car repair shop owner, insignificant and unable to influence the decisions of the human leadership. Don't be fooled by his self-proclaimed magician status and exaggerated background; whether anyone would believe him was another matter entirely, especially given human greed—it would be troublesome if they actually did.

"I can only say that I met the America Department of Defense of Defense once, but I can't guarantee whether he will trust me."

"Thank you for your help!"

Several months have passed since the Battle of Los Angeles. Without Megatron and the AllSpark, Section 7 has been abolished and replaced by a new organization called 'The Nest'.

The America. government acknowledged the Autobots' interstellar friendly visit and integrated the soldiers from the Los Angeles battlefield, as they had experience fighting the Decepticon. They were specifically brought together to cooperate with the Autobots and form part of the 'Nest' to prevent the Decepticon from making a comeback.

The America government was merely using the Autobots to eliminate the Decepticon on Earth, and Optimus Prime was well aware of this. Although the America government's motives were impure, it played right into his hands. With intelligence provided by the America government, the Autobots serve as the main fighting force to eliminate the Decepticon who kept visiting Earth.

Deuluth City!

Besides being Russell Russell held the additional role of advisor to the Department of Defense.

The minister had many advisors, numbering over a hundred across various industries. They didn't hold any significant positions, but Russell readily accepted the offer of a substantial annual salary as a white-collar worker.

Although the status of an advisor does not exempt him from taxation, it at least allows Russell to know some information that ordinary people cannot obtain, such as the series of actions and trends of the Nest Squad.

This is important; it's directly linked to his mission!

Mikaela has moved into Russell's house. She moved in the day she returned to Deuluth City and moved into the master bedroom. She and Russell had a blast for the summer.

An ordinary person's physical condition couldn't withstand Russell's torment. Even though Mikaela was young and energetic, she was still completely subdued. Russell didn't make Mikaela drop out of school, nor did he make her his office secretary. Instead, he transferred money to her account so that she could finish high school and try to get into college.

Russell will leave once he completes his mission. He can't make any promises to Mikaela, but he can still give her a future and help her find a good job after graduation.

Consider it compensation; he can't bring himself to turn his back on someone after he's done his work.

During the holiday, Russell's digital cameras underwent many changes, and with new products being launched, older models naturally became obsolete.

He deleted a lot of Jennifer's photos. Mikaela has the same face as her, but is younger, prettier, and has thinner legs. Why not save the memory for her?

During this time, Russell began to study the AllSpark fragment. A fragment the size of a thumb contained boundless information, but he could not determine how it was stored. Russell did not rush to access the knowledge within.

That was too reckless!

Sam learned a great deal from it, but the side effects were significant; the overwhelming amount of information nearly drove him insane. Although Sam seemed to have forgotten everything later on, given his experience, Russell would never act rashly without complete certainty.

Russell converted his garage into an underground laboratory. In one experiment, he discovered that Magic Power could stimulate the AllSpark, drawing out the energy it contained and radiating it to create new Decepticon.

The AllSpark gave the machines life, granting them souls and intelligence, but the newborn Decepticon were like human infants, only knowing how to follow their instincts and cause destruction.

Russell lost a large number of household appliances, gained a pile of useless corpses, and came to the conclusion that human nature is inherently evil!

If the AllSpark hadn't been modified to only create Decepticon, the Autobots might have started out the same way. The endless wars made them yearn for peace, which led to the creation of the Autobots faction.

This was different from the history of Transformers that Russell knew. He didn't study it in depth and quickly put it out of his mind. He began to try to use Magic Power to stimulate the AllSpark and extract the information from it little by little.

However, importing and exporting information always requires a medium; data storage methods such as hard drives are completely ineffective, as computers simply cannot read them.

He gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, using the Ironhide Character Card to try and access the information within.

The effect was good. Although Ironhide was not enhanced, a huge, chaotic mass of information did appear in his mind, all written in Cybertron's original script, a script accessible only to the leader and a group of elders.

After extensive exposure to these texts, Russell's 'intelligence' attribute points increased automatically, and he inexplicably mastered this obscure language.

Ironhide's Character Card only lasted five minutes. To receive the information from the AllSpark more safely, Russell had to use his Wealth Points to extend the time. The significant time consumption halved his Wealth Points, and he only stopped his reckless behavior when his head started to throb and he felt dizzy.

Knowledge is priceless, Russell, reflecting on the information in his mind, felt that the money was well spent.

At the same time, he also learned why Sam forgot all his knowledge later on. It was because the amount of information was too large for the human brain to handle. This information would automatically be converted into another kind of energy, actively leaving the human brain and drifting outside the world that humans could not observe.

Upon reaching this conclusion, Russell instantly realized that the AllSpark could not be destroyed; it could be resurrected!

It is not something Russell can understand at present. The Cosmic Cube is its physical projection, which was stripped out and fixed into the shape of Cosmic Cube by some higher-level mysterious being in an unknown way.

That's terrifying. To be able to do that, that mysterious being must be a superhuman who could destroy the universe with a flick of their wrist!

Unicron?

Yuanshi Tianzun?

Or even a higher level?

These people were of too high a level, so Russell gave up after thinking about it. After coming into contact with some of the AllSpark information, he began to extract the information from it in human form.

Like Sam, he couldn't control the flow of information; it would pass through his mind once and then disappear. How much he learned depended entirely on his own destiny.

Russell has an advantage over Sam; he has transcended conventional thinking and can absorb more information, allowing his 'intelligence' attribute points to gradually increase. As his 'intelligence' attribute points grow, he can learn the knowledge contained within more information, creating a virtuous cycle.

Since he was destined not to be able to fully grasp all the information in the AllSpark, Russell decided to go all out and try his best to go through all the information in his mind. Even if he couldn't grasp even one ten-thousandth of it, he would still have the blessing of increased 'Intelligence' attribute points as a consolation prize.

The learning process was tedious, and the extreme mental activity created a stark contrast, making Russell feel incredibly slow. His physical movements couldn't keep up with his thoughts, so he needed to find a way to improve his physical attributes.

Same old method, turn on the power!

The electricity he absorbed daily gradually increased his 'physical strength' and 'power', but the process was too slow to keep up with the pace of his 'intelligence'. As a last resort, he had to interrupt the loading of information about the AllSpark.

Clutching the AllSpark fragment, Russell felt a sense of unease, like "possessing a treasure trove but not being able to use it": "This world came too early; it would be such a waste to give the AllSpark to me now!"
