Sun Cheng hovered in the air for a while before finally landing in the Grand Canyon. Judging by the time, it had been six or seven hours since he left his base.

"It seems that the Americans have a long memory after our previous disturbances," he thought to himself.

He transformed back into his human form and walked slowly towards the platform that led to Onslaught's base, which was not far from the entrance.

Although it wasn't too far from his own base to Onslaught's, even if he didn't fly at full speed, he estimated it would take about two hours. However, as soon as he left his base, he sensed that something was amiss.

[Spark]often detected satellite reconnaissance signals in the sky, as well as electromagnetic waves emitted from ground-based radar stations.

It was clear that their previous actions, such as forcibly attacking military bases and secretly infiltrating the seventh district, had angered the Americans. Before they could confirm whether these non-human mechanical life forms were still lurking within their borders, the country's nerves would remain tense.

Jumping onto the platform, Sun Cheng noticed that he had been detected by the surveillance equipment, but he didn't care. He didn't bother to notify Onslaught beforehand, as he had done in the past, and simply walked straight into the cave.

Just a few steps in, Onslaught's communication came in, sounding very impatient. "Didn't I warn you not to bother me if there's nothing wrong?"

"Are you sure you want to drive me away?" Sun Cheng had the [All Spark]with him, so he was full of confidence.

He replied casually and continued walking towards Onslaught's base deep in the cave.

Perhaps because the base was located in a desolate area of the Grand Canyon, there were clearly not as many defenses as other places. Although he didn't walk fast, he soon entered the main hall of the base, where he saw Onslaught, who looked very annoyed.

Hearing footsteps, Onslaught turned his head and noticed Sun Cheng's transformation. His eyes lit up immediately. "Spark? You've found the [All Spark]!"

Sun Cheng nodded slightly and looked at him without saying a word.

He knew that Onslaught would definitely notice his transformation as soon as he saw him. Not to mention the powerful frequency of Spark, which was different from that of a low-level Core. His mechanical body was originally made by Onslaught, but it had been enhanced by the special energy of the [All Spark], making it even better.

Seeing him nod, Onslaught was overjoyed and excitedly pushed aside the machine that he treasured so much. He took a few steps forward and asked Sun Cheng eagerly, "Where is the [All Spark]? Take me there quickly..."

It seemed that he had already completely mastered all the information in his body. As long as he could get his hands on the [All Spark], his Spark could be upgraded again.

At less than two meters tall, Sun Cheng was dwarfed by the huge Onslaught. Even though he was confident, he couldn't help but feel a little intimidated.

However, he was used to the Decepticons' style of doing things and said slowly, "Lord Onslaught, the [All Spark]is currently stored in a human base. I have been searching for it everywhere and finally found it after a lot of effort!"

After this long-winded explanation, Onslaught's face was already very displeased. He snorted angrily, "Greedy reptile..."

He glared fiercely at Sun Cheng, and the light in his eyes flickered. Sun Cheng's heart tightened, and he immediately assumed a fighting stance while simultaneously widening the distance between them, ready to escape.

After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, although he was annoyed by Sun Cheng's extortion, Onslaught was indeed itching to get his hands on the [All Spark]. He didn't dare to bet on whether he could catch Sun Cheng immediately, as he didn't know what his Spark ability was. He was also worried that if Sun Cheng really got away from him, he wouldn't know how many years he would have to wait before he could find the [All Spark]again.

Soon, he became impatient with his calculations and said, "Speak up, tell me your demands..."

"A mechanical body!" Sun Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when he finally compromised, but remained cautious. "I want a new mechanical body!"

"That's impossible!"

Onslaught stomped his foot in frustration, leaving a deep hole in the hard rock ground.

He glared at Sun Cheng with undisguised anger, "Don't push your luck. The resources needed for a high-level Decepticon's mechanical body cannot be collected in just one or two years with just the two of us."

Sun Cheng felt a little disappointed. He deliberately didn't make it clear, just to test Onslaught's bottom line. It seemed that he couldn't get his new mechanical body from him.

Not wanting to break with such a powerful Decepticon warrior, he had to settle for less and said, "I don't need a mechanical body with that kind of strength. The one you designed for me last time is good enough. And I also need a construction worker..."

Onslaught's eyes flickered. He could reluctantly accept this request.

But being threatened by a younger and weaker opponent made him very angry. He was about to attack him again when Sun Cheng said, "Once I have the stuff, I promise to take you to the All Spark immediately."

After hesitating for a moment, he finally agreed reluctantly.

"I can give you a construction worker first, but it will take a few days for the mechanical body. You have to collect the materials yourself just like last time..."

Sun Cheng knew that this was probably the bottom line he could accept. He was about to agree when suddenly his body froze. He turned to look in the direction of an unknown distance.

After a moment of dark change on his face, he shook his head and refused Onslaught directly, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to help me collect the materials..."

Onslaught squinted at him, recognizing Sun Cheng's state just now. He must have received an interstellar transmission.

He couldn't help but ask, "Who else has come to Earth?"

Obviously, this guy also guessed something about Sun Cheng's relationship with Soundwave, Starscream, and others, and could tell from his use of the All Spark information to trade with him.

Sun Cheng frowned and took a while before gently uttering two words, "Blackout!"

Blackout!

This name made Onslaught fall silent for a while, and he nodded slightly after a while, "You can take the construction worker away first, and come back for the mechanical body in two days. Remember, don't try to trick me!"

Obviously, Blackout's arrival made him, a Decepticon elite warrior, very wary. Even the conditions that he didn't want to agree to before were now accepted voluntarily.

Sun Cheng nodded slightly and, after obtaining his consent, picked up a low-level Decepticon construction worker from Onslaught's base and left. He had to hurry and take it to his own base and then go see a troublesome big guy.
