Boom!!!

With a deafening roar, a scorching wave of fire erupted from the tip of the pyramid, like a volcanic eruption. Accompanied by the earth-shattering sound, thick smoke billowed up like a curtain, obscuring a large portion of the sunlight.

Before the flames had been burning for long, a dark figure burst out of the stone wall—it was Optimus Prime.

Immediately afterwards, deafening explosions emanated from inside the pyramid. The massive pyramid expanded, then collapsed in sections, turning into ruins amidst the rising dust.

"Where is the Energy Matrix? Where did you hide it?" Optimus Prime roared, charging straight at the Fallen. The conspiracy was revealed, and his unease intensified.

"You'll see, I'll take your spark there." The Fallen raised his hands high and swung his spear at Optimus Prime, unleashing a torrent of telekinesis that instantly pinned him to the ground.

The sand dunes sank, Optimus Prime was trapped deep within it, roaring as he tried to start his engines and take off. However, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't move an inch under the terrifying pressure.

Russell had just started his sneak attack when he was spotted by the Fallen. The Fallen glared at Russell, and Russell was sent flying like a cannonball, as if struck by a heavy hammer.

Boom!

Russell crashed into a pile of metal debris, gliding for quite a distance before coming to a stop. He heard a cracking sound of glass breaking beneath him, and immediately froze, his body stiffening.

The sound was crisp and melodious, very familiar, so familiar that it chilled his heart to the bone.

"Haha, that sound... whose windshield is that... no, it must be the windshield, or maybe it's the fighter jet's rearview mirror..." Russell reassured himself, stiffening his neck as he pulled a cable from behind his back.

The cable itself isn't the key point; the key point is the round ball hanging in the middle of the cable, scientifically known as a spark!

Originally, this spark should have been blue, luminous, and full of vitality, but now, the ball has been crushed by a plop and turned into worthless junk.

Russell: ( ̄△ ̄;)

I sat on two Decepticon and killed them with one stomp. Suddenly I felt so awesome!

"Which blind bastard dared to place fragile items in the middle of the battlefield? Step forward, I promise I won't kill him!"

Russell was furious. His bloodshot eyes were filled with murderous intent. He glanced around at the neatly stacked metal parts and his face fell. He realized that things were not so simple.

Russell: "..."

Regardless of what I just said, even if that blind guy really is a bastard, he must be a very handsome one.

"System, these two heads don't count as mine. It was the Fallen who did it. I was just a flying tool at best, and even that was passive." Looking at the mission quota of [18/20], Russell's heart skipped a beat. If he had to ride it again later, wouldn't he only have 24 hours left?

Are you kidding me? We haven't even fully studied the AllSpark fragments yet!

The system indicated that Russell's feelings were understandable, but the Fallen could only get an assist at most; the fatal blow would be attributed to him.

Russell stood up, his heart bleeding, his feet wading through the sand, carefully avoiding the metal parts around him, his eyes fixed on Optimus Prime, who was fighting the Fallen.

"We've taken too many kills. I need to play it safe from now on and absolutely cannot kill any more. And Brother Zhu, you've been playing the minor role for so long, it's time for you to step up and shine..."

Click!

"Huh!"

Russell was struck dumb, standing there for a long time without daring to breathe. Judging from the sensation on his foot, it seemed as if he had kicked and shattered a... glass ball.

[World Quest: Personally End Cybertron Machine Lifeforms 19/20]

Good heavens! Even a toe can kill Decepticon! This is unbearable!

Filled with grief and indignation, Russell retrieved the AllSpark fragment and, no longer concerned about wasting energy, instantly repaired the shattered back thrusters.

Eight sharp blades were regenerated, and he took flight, charging towards the Fallen with murderous intent.

In the center of the battlefield, the Fallen was mercilessly torturing Optimus Prime, feeling immense satisfaction at seeing the traitor's descendant struggling in his grasp. He didn't rush to extract Optimus Prime's spark; having been tormented by hatred for tens of thousands of years, he wanted to thoroughly humiliate Optimus Prime to make amends.

The whooshing sound of air being torn apart came, the Fallen caught a glimpse of Russell coming, sneered inwardly, and flung Optimus Prime over in mid-air.

Russell and Optimus Prime locked eyes, and Russell immediately shouted, "Optimus Prime, Plan B!"

The Fallen was startled: Plan B? What Plan B?

Optimus Prime's heart skipped a beat: Plan B? What Plan B?

In a daze, Optimus Prime's eyes widened. This scene seemed familiar, and he remembered the battlefield in Los Angeles.

Chirp chirp!

Russell's back armor shifted, revealing eight menacing missiles that spewed flames from their tails and flew out simultaneously, all striking Optimus Prime.

Rumble!!!

A massive fireball shot into the sky, and the sudden burst of light left the Fallen stunned. What kind of battle plan was this?

Just then, a loud bang of sharp blades piercing the air rang out. He looked closely and saw eight sharp blades piercing out from the waves of fire, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.

The Fallen instantly realized that Russell's unexpected move had lowered his guard, and that the eight blades were the real attack.

As the killing intent descended, the Fallen remained calm. He had learned his lesson from this move before and wouldn't fall for it a second time. He narrowed his eyes and unleashed a massive burst of telekinesis in front of him. The eight blades instantly seemed to sink into a quagmire, their speed abruptly halted, and the tail thrusters trembled, unable to advance an inch.

"Very good teamwork, but too immature..."

Buzzing!

Before the Fallen could finish speaking, Russell suddenly appeared behind him with an Electric Arc, raising his right fist and slamming it down. In the instant the Fallen turned around hastily, the punch struck him squarely in the face.

Bang!

Red energy liquid splattered, accompanied by several golden metal fangs, and the Fallen's body leaned back, spinning as it crashed onto the sand.

Without saying a word, Russell slammed his butt, which was big enough to crush Decepticon, onto the Fallen's waist, and then swung his two Iron Fist down on its head.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK—

The Fallen's mask shattered, revealing a round face covered in metal parts. He was stunned by the flurry of punches, so dizzy that he even forgot he could teleport.

Clang!

Eight sharp blades pierced through the air and stopped in front of Russell. His hands moved with lightning speed, taking down the blades one after another and stabbing them into the Fallen.

Four thorns pinned his hands and feet, two pierced his chest and abdomen, one pierced his mouth and emerged from the back of his neck, and the last one went straight into the Fallen's forehead.

"Roar roar roar————"

The pain fueled the Fallen's inner fire, making him seem Immortal Body. Despite suffering fatal wounds, he did not die. The attacks that could not kill him finally shattered his reason, and his gaping mouth emitted Beast- like roar.

The sudden surge of telekinetic energy acted like an unbreakable wall. Russell was struck and sent flying into the sky along with the eight blades.

"You lowly creature, I will crush your embers!"

The Fallen hovered in mid-air, waving his hand to sweep away the sharp blades in mid-air, then gripped Russell tightly and yanked him down from mid-air.

Seeing Russell plummeting rapidly, a murderous glint flashed in the Fallen's eyes. No longer considering reading the secret of transformation from Russell's mind, he raised his spear above his head, preparing to pierce Russell's spark directly.

The spear gleamed coldly, and Russell's red electronic eyes instantly lit up as he silently chanted to use the 'Skill Card: Telekinesis'.

He had become very skilled at using the enemy's techniques to defeat them.

To the Fallen's astonishment, Russell suddenly broke free from the telekinetic restraints, his five fingers clenching in mid-air and forcefully flinging open, pulling the spear from his palm and tossing it aside.

The sudden pressure made the Fallen's body sink, and the weight pressed down, causing his legs to sink directly into the sand. Then, a fist rapidly enlarged in his eyes.

"It's telekinesis? How come he can do that too?"

The Fallen was a veteran of many battles. Although he had been bedridden for ten thousand years, the old dog still had a few teeth, and the fighting spirit etched deep in his soul would not fade with time. He suppressed his shock, raised his arm, and blocked Russell's punch.

"Optimus Prime!!"

Russell yelled at his incompetent teammate, grabbed the Fallen's arm and pulled him back, delivering a deafening headbutt to the center of the Fallen's forehead.

Amidst the Fallen's dizzy groans, Russell landed on his feet and sprang back up, accelerating with his back thrusters, delivering another uppercut to the Fallen.

Metal teeth flew everywhere as Russell sent the Fallen flying into the air. Before the Fallen could land, Russell raised a leg and brought it down with a powerful kick. The kick, like a battle axe, sliced through the air with a deafening roar, creating red-hot flames as it struck, shattering the Fallen's chest armor.

Boom!!

The Fallen to the ground, creating a large crater, its head held high, spewing out red energy.

With his telekinetic powers still intact, Russell raised his arm as a weapon and bombarded the Fallen's head at close range. Then, he raised one hand and slammed it down, unleashing eight beams of cold light that pinned the Fallen to the ground once more.

"It's no use. You are not a descendant of the Supreme Being. You cannot kill me." The Fallen, with several sharp blades stuck in his forehead and chest, was still able to speak.

"I can't, but Optimus Prime can."

Russell replied coldly, then drew two sharp blades, combined them into a broadsword, and thrust it into the Fallen's chest with both hands.

This spot is the spark, yet the greatsword clearly pierced through it, the Fallen just won't die.

"Optimus Prime!?" The Fallen grinned maliciously. "Do you think I'd give him a chance?"

Upon clashing with Russell's telekinetic abilities, the Fallen realized that their powers were evenly matched. Instead of pursuing a decisive victory with Russell, he turned his gaze to Optimus Prime and sent the latter flying far away.

"Hateful!"

Russell realized he was in trouble. The Skill Card wasn't Item Card or Character Card. He could feel his telekinetic power starting to wane, and he might not be able to hold on for another second.

Looking down at the Fallen's smug, laughing face, Russell felt a surge of resentment, cursing the six Supreme Beings from back then as utter trash. They couldn't even win against one of them; they were just lucky to have died young. If he had encountered this group of utterly incompetent fools, he would have given them a sound beating.

Buzzing!

The moment Russell had that thought, his vision blurred, and a blinding white light made it impossible for him to open his eyes. He could vaguely see six enormous figures walking towards him.

Russell: "..."

Hey, I overheard the Fallen talking badly about you guys. I was so angry that I knocked him down right then and there and gave him a good beating.

"We have been watching you for a long time. You fight bravely, love life, are strong, and have compassion for the weak. You are a true strongman, a true leader, and a hero to whom we can entrust our hopes."

The booming sound came from all directions, like the echo of thunder, making Russell's ears ring.

"You fought alongside Optimus Prime and saved his life several times. He still has a lot to learn, and we entrust this mission to you."

"The Fallen is not invincible. His bloodline makes him rampant. Now, let us lend you a hand."

"Swipe your blade and end evil!"

Russell: "..."

Wait, what are you guys trying to do? I'm already at 19/20, so get the hell away from me!
