His gaze fell on the Russian president in front of him, who, despite not being particularly outstanding among humans, had an exceptionally robust physique.
Although Sun Cheng was not interested in the country of polar bears, he couldn't help but admit that he was now facing a very charismatic Russian tough guy.
However, appreciating someone's qualities didn't mean they couldn't discuss business.
In his eyes, a faint blue light flickered, and Sun Cheng activated the virtual imaging function once again.
In the next moment, Vladimir and the others felt a momentary blur, and the previous presidential residence vanished without a trace, replaced by a planet covered in steel structures with a futuristic vibe.
On this planet, an obvious brutal battle was taking place.
Volcanic eruptions and splashing lava filled the sky, while terrifying mechanical giants with massive frames and fierce expressions flew and fought all around, wielding laser cannons or unstoppable alloy blades amidst the accumulated corpses on the ground.
Sun Cheng took the opportunity to reveal images of Megatron and Optimus Prime, and soon, in the astonished gazes of Vladimir and the others, he spoke, "As I mentioned before, we come from Cybertron Planet, a place far away from Earth. Just like your Earth, our planet is home to two distinct races, the Decepticons and the Autobots."
"Due to various ideological differences, a fierce civil war erupted between our Decepticons and the Autobots, which ultimately destroyed our civilization and our homeworld. It also resulted in the loss of our mechanical life's sacred artifact, the All Spark. To search for the All Spark, Leader Megatron dispatched numerous elite warriors into the universe, and my team and I were among them."
Finishing his words, he blinked his eyes, and the virtual imaging promptly ceased.
Only then did Vladimir and the others realize they were still within the confines of the presidential residence. Their gazes towards Sun Cheng involuntarily carried a mix of wariness and seriousness.
"The All Spark? Mr. Frenzy, I recall you mentioned that your planet is far from our Earth. So why did your sacred artifact appear here on Earth?"
True to his reputation as a political strongman who resurrected a nation in just a few short years, transforming it from a state of ruin and devastation into a major global power, Vladimir, who had repeatedly challenged the United States on the international stage, had been startled by the virtual imaging Sun Cheng had displayed. Nevertheless, he clearly recorded every word spoken and grasped the underlying points.
Sun Cheng's eyes hinted at a faint smile, but he didn't miss the opportunity to cast blame on the Autobots. Shaking his head, he replied in a deep voice, "I'm not sure, but it may be related to the Autobots. Our Decepticon army defeated the Autobots in the civil war, causing most of the defeated Autobots to scatter and escape into the universe. And so, I led my subordinates, tracking the footsteps of Autobot leader Optimus Prime, all the way to Earth!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Vladimir again. "We have been on Earth for half a year. After investigation, we can confirm that the Autobots arrived on Earth at least several decades before us. They have cooperated with a country called the United States on your Earth and have begun to rebuild and strengthen themselves using Earth's resources. In the past six months, although we have defeated the Autobots and the US ** team three times in the battles of Tucson, Las Vegas, and the conflict in Colorado a month ago, my soldiers have also paid a heavy price."
"So, today I come here with sincerity and I'm willing to offer you Russian technology and science that can help Russia regain dominance over Earth. But in exchange, we need a large amount of energy, various metals, and rare earth elements... Whether to accept our goodwill, Mr. President, is up to your choice!"
When he mentioned helping Russia regain dominance over Earth, Vladimir's face showed a slight reaction.
Although he had previously said things like "Whoever doesn't miss the Soviet Union has no conscience, and whoever wants to return to the Soviet Union has no brains" in public, as a political strongman who even dreams of leading Russia back to the top of the world, Vladimir has never forgotten the glory of the Soviet Union.
Sun Cheng's words undoubtedly confirmed some of his speculations and touched Vladimir's heart.
Just as he was about to ask about how to cooperate, there was suddenly a sound of military boots outside the mansion.
Vladimir realized without looking that the incident in the presidential mansion had finally attracted attention from the outside world, and the security system was organizing a counterattack.
His gaze swept over the mechanical giant in front of him. The opponent seemed to be alone. This gave him, who took great pride in Russia's military power, some new thoughts.
He immediately held back the words that were about to come out and his eyes began to flicker.
If the Russian military could destroy or even capture this extraterrestrial visitor, with Russia's military-industrial foundation, Vladimir was confident that he could derive countless benefits from this mechanical body.
But could it really go that smoothly?
Perhaps no one noticed, but the curve of Sun Cheng's smile became wider.
After entering the presidential mansion, he released dozens of miniaturized surveillance devices, covering the entire Kremlin.
At the same time, with Core fully activated, the scanning function constantly fed him real-time information from the outside world.
Because of this, even before the sound of the military boots reached his ears, Sun Cheng had already noticed that a fully armed elite force of more than a hundred soldiers was closing in on him.
He was well aware of the heavy machine guns, rifle grenades, anti-tank rocket launchers, and individual portable air defense missiles they were equipped with.
But would they be of any use?
He turned his head to look at Vladimir's flickering eyes again, and a conspicuous trace of mockery appeared on Sun Cheng's face.
Still using his cold tone, he spoke slowly, "The conventional military forces on Earth are inconsequential in our eyes. Obviously, I forgot to remind you, Mr. President. In front of a Leader who possesses the Space Bridge, you would never expect that even if there's just one person before you, he can summon an entire army at any moment!"
A thought crossed his mind, and without even looking at the bullets coming from behind him, Sun Cheng waved his hand.
The next moment, four fully armed new-generation combat robots appeared out of thin air behind him, instantly making the already cramped hall feel even more crowded.
Although he couldn't summon more combat robots here, they still created an impassable steel barrier for Sun Cheng.
As soon as he gave a command with his Core, the four battle robots raised their weapons simultaneously, aiming their guns at the gap in the wall ahead. Meanwhile, the plasma shoulder cannons on their shoulders began to charge.
Then, Sun Cheng looked down at Vladimir with an exceptionally cold gaze.
"Mr. President, there may be a civilization in the universe capable of defeating the Decepticons, but Earth is definitely not included. So, the choice between war and cooperation is up to you..."
Vladimir's face underwent a swift and somber transformation, and soon, he finally made a decision.
He gently patted the bodyguards surrounding him, who were protecting him tightly, and walked out, approaching Sun Cheng.
"Mr. Frenzy..."
As his gaze swept over Sun Cheng and the four combat robots that suddenly appeared behind him, Vladimir took a deep breath and slowly extended his hand towards him. "Happy cooperation!"
