Fusion with Megatron

[Bite!]

[The host has come into contact with the story character the Fallen, triggering Lottery Draw. Two chances to draw are granted. Do you wish to draw now?]

"Extract!"

Upon hearing the system notification, Russell immediately responded, stating that the Fallen, as one of the supreme beings, stands at the top of the Transformers pyramid, and drawing it now would be a sure-fire way to make a profit.

[Character Card: The Fallen - Remnant (Ancient Mechanical Lifeform)]

[Skill Card: Telekinesis (Intervening in the movement of a material system through mental power)]

After drawing the card, Russell saw the Fallen in his sight. Its face was ferocious and sinister, and beneath its black armor, fiery red energy flowed like magma.

Unlike other Transformers, the Fallen has long arms and legs and a slender build; Russell thinks he looks more like an Xenomorph. A mechanical Xenomorph born from Silicon-based lifeforms form!

"Idiots, what are you doing?"

The Decepticon's infighting greatly angered the Fallen. His red electronic eyes flashed, and an invisible force enveloped the entire area around the pyramid.

Without jet propulsion, the Fallen floats in mid-air on its own, its five fingers spread wide, and the spear it had thrown earlier returns to its hand on its own.

As he raised his spear high, Russell was instantly immobilized, as were the Decepticon present, who were dragged into the air by telekinesis and then thrown far away.

"A bunch of useless trash. They don't even know where the enemy is, yet they dare to fire indiscriminately." The Fallen pressed down with his hand, and the heavy air was suddenly compressed downwards. The Decepticon robots screamed in agony as their bodies suffered varying degrees of damage and breakage.

After dealing with his unworthy underlings, he glanced at Russell, sneered, and with a wave of his hand, pulled Russell in front of him. He looked Russell up and down before speaking, "Interesting. You can actually transform into our appearance completely, and you also have information about the AllSpark within you. I'm becoming more and more interested in you."

Upon closer inspection of the Fallen, Russell discovered that although he was thin, he was a head taller than his younger version of Skyfire, estimated to be at least 12 meters tall.

The long, gloomy mask, the sharp red electronic eyes, and the two rows of constantly trembling metal tentacles—this face put immense pressure on Russell. He could feel the difference in strength even with his toes; the younger version of Skyfire was no match for him, and by a significant margin.

"Are you a human from Earth, or some other life form from another universe?" The Fallen, holding a spear against Russell's mask, said coldly, "Let me interrogate your memories and see what the truth behind your abilities really is."

The pressure around him increased dramatically, and the air seemed to freeze, making it impossible for Russell to speak. He cursed Optimus Prime for betraying his teammates. Optimus Prime had appeared invincible, but now he had vanished without a trace.

A surge of energy, almost Magic Power, flowed from the tip of the spear into his body, reaching the fire within his chest cavity in the blink of an eye. Russell knew he had to change his Character Card, or he would be the Fallen.

However, just as Russell was about to use the Fallen Character Card, the system prompted him that a long-forgotten card might have a surprising effect—it was an Item Card.

[Item Card: Mysterious Metal X (One of the most mysterious metals in the universe, a sacred object sought after by mechanical life forms)]

Judging from the reviews alone, this Item Card looks very high-end, but the system says that before using it, it doesn't know what 'Mysterious Metal X' is or what kind of abilities it has.

Boom!!!

A loud bang came from afar, the Fallen's ferocious smile froze instantly. He was hit by a shell that came from behind and was sent flying uncontrollably.

The roar of the engine shot out, and a disheveled Optimus Prime appeared beside Russell, covered in wounds, clearly having been thoroughly thrashed by the Fallen in the previous battle.

"Mr. Russell, are you alright?" Optimus Prime said apologetically, "The Fallen's abilities are very strange. I was caught off guard and fell into his trap."

Tell me, when have you ever escaped a trap?

Russell thought to himself, but under pressure from the Fallen, he said bluntly, "His telekinesis is very powerful, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to help you."

"No problem, I can handle it on my own. We'll split up, I'll deal with the Fallen, and you destroy the energy source of the shield." Optimus Prime was full of confidence, and after saying that, he the Fallen.

Russell didn't know where Optimus Prime got his confidence from. After all, compared to the Fallen, the Fallen had all sorts of bizarre abilities, while Optimus Prime only had a thicker cannon barrel and no advantage in any other aspect.

To prevent Optimus Prime from being tortured to death, Russell hurriedly used the 'Item Card: Mysterious Metal X', and a lump of silver-gray metal ore the size of a stone appeared in his hand.

It's plain and unremarkable, pitted and uneven, and doesn't look like a sacred object at all!

Besides the weight!

Russell held the Mysterious Metal X in his hand, instinctively feeling that it was as light as a feather, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

"So light, and you can call it metal?"

As if in response to Russell's sarcastic remark, the silvery-gray ore transformed from a solid to a liquid, seeping into his palm through the gaps in his armor. Before he could even process what was happening, an unknown energy surged into the spark, and then, a cluster of information automatically appeared in his mind.

Mysterious Metal X!

This is a magical metal that only mechanical life forms can use. Although it is called a metal, it is more like a product of some advanced civilization. Because its origin is unknown and its constituent matter cannot be analyzed, it has this name.

It's considered a sacred object because it can bless mechanical lifeforms, greatly enhancing the user's power. Most interestingly, each different user can gain a superpower from it.

Superpowers vary from person to person. For example, Russell's superpower is... fusion!

A slight tremor ran through the fire within him, and Russell instinctively landed on the ground. His arm weapons fired continuously, blasting away the Decepticon that tried to block his way. He soon spotted a target that he could absorb.

Deep within the crater, a severely damaged Decepticon robot lay silently. Due to the artillery fire, its limbs and torso were damaged to varying degrees, and its chest appeared to have its ribs ripped open, with its embers brazenly exposed to the sunlight.

Russell recognized the Decepticon; judging from the familiar features, if he wasn't mistaken, it was Megatron!

"What would happen if it merged with Megatron...?"

Skyfire!?

That name is so lame!

For some reason, Russell wasn't opposed to merging with Megatron; in fact, he was somewhat looking forward to it. He knew that the so-called merging meant he would be in control, and Megatron would become a part of his power.

"Hehe..." Russell squatted on the ground, looking impatient, and reached out his sinister hand towards Megatron, who was lying dead.

In his severely injured state Megatron felt his vision dim. He barely managed to light up his flickering electronic eyes and saw Russell Zhang's evil face approaching. Before he could open his mouth to question him, a large hand covered his mouth.

"Behave yourself, it'll be over soon!"

"Mmm..."

Megatron instinctively sensed the danger, but his injuries were too severe, and he had no strength to resist. He could only watch in humiliation as Russell grasped his spark.

The fusion begins!

Megatron's body trembled, a sharp pain gripping his heart, and he lost consciousness the next second. The greatest and most irreplaceable leader in Decepticon history closed his eyes just like that, without even leaving a last word.

Unlike Optimus Prime, who fused with the Skyfire, Russell, holding Megatron's spark, instantly devoured its power, turning Megatron's body into a liquid that flowed up his limbs and torso like water.

Russell's body began to stretch and transform, growing from 10 meters to 15 meters in height. As his body became more powerful, his armor also became more ferocious.

Eight sword-like backplates extended, folding back like mechanical wings. Cybertron script, unique to the ancient leader, appeared on his body, and his large hands transformed into claws resembling Megatron's.

After the fusion was complete, Russell clenched his fist tightly, opened his red electronic eyes, and grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs.

"This power..." No need for further explanation, it is absolutely above the level of a leader.

The Decepticon around them were all stunned to see Megatron vanish into thin air and a strange newcomer appear in his place. Although Russell seemed to be one of their own in terms of aura, they couldn't help but feel fear and instinctively took a step back.

Whoosh!

In a moment of haste, a Decepticon launched his arm weapon, the missile hurtling straight at Russell's face. He whirled around, raised his hand, grabbed the incoming missile, and crushed it with his claws.

Rumble!!

Amidst the flames, two red beams shot out, instantly slicing the Decepticon into pieces.

Russell strode out of the raging flames. His scorching electronic eyes cooled slightly, and the fire within his body burned at an unprecedented speed, the accumulated energy exploding and being transmitted to his limbs and bones.

He scanned the entire area, his electronic eyes marking the targets, and with a clang, he pulled out two back armor plates, transforming them into a one-handed longsword.

A surge of power coursed through his body, and Russell vanished in a blur of black light, leaving a crater in the ground where he had stood. In the blink of an eye, he had broken free of the Decepticon robots' encirclement.

Hiss—

Dozens of metallic tearing sounds rang out simultaneously, and the Decepticon, in their astonishment, disintegrated into metal parts of varying sizes.

Ordinary Decepticon could no longer detect Russell's strength. He sheathed his twin swords, opened the blades on his back, activated his jetpack, and became a blur as he moved around the pyramid.

Everyone reacted two beats slower than him, and the metal spire only collapsed into a pile of parts after he had moved far away. Several metal spires were smashed to pieces by his rampage, and the aura of the defensive shield trembled twice before gradually dimming and dissipating.

With the defensive shield breached and the undefended pyramid right in front of him, Russell didn't hesitate. He raised his arms in front of him, transforming them into a giant fusion cannon, and with a bang, shattered the pyramid's tip.

BOOM!!!

Just then, a huge figure descended from the sky and crashed into Russell.

He slightly turned to dodge, and the attacking figure crashed into the ground, creating a large crater. After a suppressed cry of pain, Optimus Prime shook his dazed head and got up.

"Russell... Mr. Russell!?"

Looking at the towering Decepticon robot in front of him, which bore an 80% resemblance to the younger version of Skyfire, Optimus Prime lowered his arm cannon and tentatively asked a question.

"It's me!"

Russell nodded, glancing up at the Fallen flown to the top of the pyramid. "What, you've fallen into a trap again?"

Optimus Prime was silent for three seconds, then his visor popped out, covering most of his face except for his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Yes, the Fallen is more cunning than I thought."

Russell: "..."

You don't need to cover your face, anyway, you Transformers don't blush when you lie.
