Rushing back from Tucson, Senior Agent Seymour Simmons had a very ugly expression on his face. "Damn it, we really gave the District Seven Governor face. There were so many people surrounding an NBE, and yet they managed to let it escape!"

"Simmons, they did their best!" Tom Banachek, who was in charge of the Advanced Technology Research Department of District Seven, comforted his old friend, but his smile was forced.

"This is really bad, Tom. We are in big trouble! You didn't go to Tucson and didn't see the crimes committed by those NBEs with your own eyes. I dare say that even a whole army from Russia or China would not be able to cause such a massive attack on Davis-Monthan Air Force Base!" Seymour shook his head frantically, looking annoyed. "Damn it, the President has demanded that we find those NBEs hidden in the United States within a month. But have you seen the footage I just brought back from Tucson? Those disgusting machines, they can transform too."

Tom nodded, looking very helpless. This was also one of his biggest worries as one of the senior officials of District Seven. He was not unfamiliar with NBE-1, the big guy discovered in the Arctic, which he had been researching for many years as the leader of the research team for advanced technology.

However, after all these years of research, District Seven had only scratched the surface. But if that was all, they wouldn't be too sad. With the continuous progress of technology, decades ago, when the pioneers of District Seven first discovered NBE-1, they couldn't even extract a small particle from the surface armor of its mechanical body, but now they could rely on more advanced scanning equipment to complete a detailed structural scan of it.

Unfortunately, it seemed that God was not going to give them any more time. Suddenly, some NBEs appeared from somewhere, and worse still, they attacked two US military bases and stole four nuclear warheads. Those lawless extraterrestrial mechanical lives were not only powerful but also crazy. Who knows where those four nuclear warheads will be used tomorrow in their hands?

The White House was restless, and the insiders in Washington were now like frightened cats. Two days ago, Tom was summoned to the Pentagon again and he still remembered what the Secretary of Defense said before he left. "Perhaps after tomorrow, there will be no civilization left on Earth. Now America's nuclear weapons are waiting for launch orders..."

"Damn it..." He couldn't help but curse like his old friend Seymour, feeling extremely tired. To find an unknown number of extraterrestrial mechanical life forms on the vast land of the United States, and the other party also had the ability to transform. Just thinking about it made his face droop a little more. He could only helplessly tell Seymour, "Seymour, you're going to be burdened next..."

Before he finished his sentence, suddenly the alarm in the base sounded loudly. Tom was stunned, but Seymour, beside him, reacted first, his face changing dramatically as he shouted, "What's going on? Fire alarm?"

After one of his agents took out his phone and inquired with the control room, he answered with a pale face, "The PB (Pandora's Box) laboratory has been invaded by an NBE!"

"Damn it!" Seymour pulled out his weapon from his waist and shouted at those around him, "You bastards, don't just stand there. Raise the security level of the base to the highest, send some people to the NBE-1 hangar, and don't let the invaders get close to it. Order the security team to mobilize, everyone follow me..."

"Yes!"

...

When the brand new Core data feedback entered his mind, Sun Cheng was so excited that he almost jumped up.

[Frenzy: Intelligence Expert.]

[Faction: Decepticon (Cassette Legion).]

[Energy: 27500/27500.]

[Height: 189.5 cm. Weight: 417.12 kg.]

[Core: lv3 Spy-type Spark with enhanced strength.]

[Equipment: Two 5.56mm caliber rapid-fire machine guns, 397 special armor-piercing bullets, 8 sets of advanced insect detectors.]

[Status: Good!]

Was it really the Sacred Artifact of Cybertron Planet, the All Spark, that made such a big difference? A brief contact allowed Sun Cheng to achieve a complete upgrade. The effect was not comparable to the mechanical body modification Onslaught had done for him not long ago.

The enhancement on his mechanical body was very obvious. Onslaught's design for his mechanical body was good, but there were still many shortcomings. Under the influence of the All Spark, not to mention the strength of his mechanical body had been increased, those two rapid-fire machine guns that he loved and hated could finally shoot energy bullets like Lazerbeak and Spectro.

The hundreds of human ammunition stored in his body were also transformed into special armor-piercing bullets. Moreover, what excited him the most should be the last eight sets of insect detectors remaining in his mechanical body. Under the enhancement of the All Spark, the detection radius had increased from ten kilometers to thirty kilometers, and the endurance had also skyrocketed. This undoubtedly raised Sun Cheng's intelligence collection ability to another level.

Of course, the enhancement to his mechanical body was nothing compared to the change in his Core.

Sun Cheng was excited to discover that his Core had finally evolved from a low-level template to a Spark!

The Spark was a symbol of advanced Decepticons. It not only had terrifying information processing capabilities, but also stored energy far beyond that of low-level Decepticons, often dozens or even hundreds of times more.

As a Spark that had been promoted from a non-combat unit like him, the energy stored was more than twenty times that of the Spy Template that he had been modified with by Onslaught before. Sun Cheng finally understood why he was seen as a lowly being that could be ordered around by the likes of Barricade, Onslaught, Soundwave, and Starscream.

The difference was just too big!

Compared to the template, the strength enhancement brought by the Spark was too obvious. With his current mechanical body, it would take six or seven days to consume one unit of stored energy. Even if he entered a battle with all his firepower, he wouldn't be as weak as before.

The All Spark was even more amazing than he had imagined. After his Core was upgraded from the Spy Template to a Spark, all the functions of the original template were enhanced. Additionally, Sun Cheng gained a new function that only high-level Decepticons with a Spark possessed: simulation transformation.

Using the ability to scan structures provided by the Spark, high-level Decepticons could complete structural scans of most machines in a very short time and use the Spark to reverse engineer themselves into the desired target.

Of course, this function, while amazing, was not without limitations.

Simulation transformation was limited by the strength of the mechanical body and the performance of the Spark. For example, if Sun Cheng, who already had the form of a fierce beast, wanted to use the simulation transformation function, he would have to give up his current form. This was because simulating a new form involved a major change in the structure of the mechanical body. Unless his Spark was even more powerful and his mechanical body was specially designed to accommodate more transformations, it would be impossible to accommodate multiple transformations.

"Bang!"

A gunshot woke Sun Cheng from his study of the Spark. He immediately saw a group of heavily armed base guards in black combat uniforms rushing towards him.

"Troublesome!"

Sun Cheng frowned and glanced unwillingly at the huge All Spark in front of him. He had wanted to take it with him, but it was too big to move.

The enhancement that the All Spark had given him was not just a one-time thing. It had been recognized by the Decepticons as a sacred artifact for a reason.

Because at this stage, Sun Cheng could only accept so much. Any more energy or information would exceed the limits of his current mechanical body and Core.

However, this also meant that someday in the future, when Sun Cheng completely digested the gift of the All Spark, fully mastered the Spark, and obtained a more powerful mechanical body, he could use the All Spark to upgrade once again.

"Forget it, the All Spark is so big that even humans can't move it easily. Let's just leave it here for now!"

Sun Cheng was equally distrustful of Decepticons as he was of humans. So after hesitating for a moment, he made his decision.

Without transforming back into his fierce beast form, Sun Cheng lifted his hand and aimed the speed shooter gun that had also been enhanced at the rushing base guards. "Da da da da da..."

With blood splattering, he remained calm and grim as he prepared to make a bloody escape.
