Starscream is too terrifying. Sun Cheng, who finally connected all the clues, felt a chill in his heart.

But he still had to gather his courage to deal with the enraged Soundwave.

"Lord Soundwave, Frenzy has always followed your orders and has never hidden anything!"

He tried to make himself appear calm, although Sun Cheng himself could hear the trembling in his tone. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have come with Lazerbeak to see you immediately when he asked me to."

"Oh?"

Soundwave impatiently flicked a miniature medical Decepticon that had accidentally climbed onto his eye with a finger.

Seeing him turn to look at him, Lazerbeak's eyes flickered, but in the end, he didn't lie and truthfully replied, "Yes, master, he didn't lie."

"Hmph!"

Soundwave finally sneered, and threw him angrily to the ground. He looked down at Sun Cheng, his eyes full of anger, "Now, repeat everything you experienced from when you arrived at Baricade's to seeing me!"

"Yes!"

Sun Cheng couldn't even stand up after landing. He had been targeted too harshly by Soundwave just now. Although his new mechanical body was sturdy enough, it had been twisted and deformed by Soundwave's insane strength and would take some time to recover.

He recounted everything he had experienced from being sent to Baricade's side, but of course, Sun Cheng didn't tell the whole truth and also concealed some things, such as his deal with Starscream.

Soundwave listened quietly as he finished speaking. The orange light in his eyes kept flickering, and he stared at Sun Cheng tightly, a dangerous atmosphere constantly stimulating Sun Cheng's nerves.

"You're lying..." Soundwave sneered, his face twisted in a grimace.

He kicked Sun Cheng hard, sending him flying dozens of meters away.

"Lazerbeak..."

Soundwave called out, and Lazerbeak immediately flew up and quickly grabbed the helpless Sun Cheng back and threw him in front of Soundwave.

"Lord Soundwave, every word I said was a lie!"

Seeing the dangerous light in his eyes grow stronger, Sun Cheng quickly tried to defend himself.

"You dare to lie to me, worm..."

Soundwave angrily punched the ground next to him, leaving a deep fist mark on the ground with his terrifying strength, "Why didn't Lazerbeak immediately see him when he arrived on Earth?"

"I've already told him!" Sun Cheng had already thought about and prepared his excuse, so he immediately answered, "That day, while Baricade was meeting with Onslaught, I took a risk and sent an interstellar message to alert you that Starscream had come to Earth. After that, because I had consumed too much energy, I briefly fell into a sleeping state. When I woke up, I was already in Baricade's car. He and Starscream seemed to have discovered my actions. After that, Baricade immediately took me to Onslaught's place, and I waited until the mission started before I found a chance to contact Lazerbeak!"

"Do you still want to lie to me?"

Soundwave angrily lifted him up, and the sharp fingertips kept rubbing against Sun Cheng's new mechanical body, producing sparks. "You didn't betray me? Where did you get your new mechanical body? Where did you get your new Core?"

"The new mechanical body was designed by Onslaught for me. He isn't a follower of Starscream, and I've confirmed that. As Lazerbeak should have told you, Starscream planned an operation to steal four nuclear warheads from the humans, and Onslaught took two of them! Onslaught helped me get a new mechanical body so that I could help him find several rare metals on Earth. He needed these metals to build a new turret to strengthen himself. In addition, Onslaught also asked me to search for information about the All Spark. As for the Core, I'm still using the original one, but Onslaught has slightly strengthened it!"

Soundwave lifted Sun Cheng up to his face, and suddenly two red lights shot out of his eyes and entered Sun Cheng's eyes.

Before he could react, he immediately heard a series of dense warning sounds coming from Core: "Warning, warning, unknown data intrusion detected... Active interception function activated... Defense function activated... Core data encryption... Misleading data function activated... Ding, highest authority transfer... Core data being read..."

"This guy..."

Sun Cheng's heart sank. His Core was able to resist Starscream for a moment last time, but in front of Soundwave, he had no defenses and his highest authority was taken away, completely in the hands of the other party.

Having been with Onslaught for a while and experiencing a lot of things, he understood that Soundwave had already tampered with his Core at the beginning of his resurrection.

Letting someone blatantly look through his Core memory data was a very bad experience, like suddenly having a consciousness added to his head, looking through all his memories in front of him.

Sun Cheng had already experienced it once before. The reason why he was so wary of Starscream and even dared not to follow Baricade back to the base to receive the Spark promised to him was because he didn't know how much of his memories the other party had seen.

Now, with Soundwave's intervention, Sun Cheng was extremely angry. He was afraid that Soundwave would see something he shouldn't have seen and was even more worried about his biggest secret as a time traveler being exposed.

"Damn it... I swear... this kind of thing will never happen again..."

Under anger and unwillingness, his will to survive was completely stimulated in an instant. Sun Cheng madly tried to regain control of Core and forcefully expelled Soundwave's invading data.

Seemingly sensing his resentment, Sun Cheng quickly felt a strange and powerful data suddenly surging out from an unknown part of his body.

In an instant, all the invasive data from Soundwave was driven out of his Core by this data.

When Sun Cheng reacted, he subconsciously tried to find that data again, but found that it had disappeared.

"Huh..."

The failure of the forced memory retrieval made Soundwave unable to help but make a soft noise.

But soon he realized something, and sneered at Sun Cheng, throwing him back to the ground from his height and taunting, "I knew something was off about you. Turns out you've already unlocked my seal..."

Glancing at Lazerbeak beside him, he frowned and ordered, "Go guard the area..."

"Yes, master!"

Although Lazerbeak was surprised by Soundwave's change in attitude, he still obediently responded and quickly disappeared from their sight.

As soon as Lazerbeak left, Soundwave coldly looked at Sun Cheng and said in a flat tone, "A few days ago, when Lazerbeak suddenly told me that you had betrayed me, I was surprised. With your current state, it's impossible for you to unlock my seal. Was it Starscream? Or Onslaught?"

Sun Cheng also reacted now, knowing that Soundwave had discovered that his seal had been lifted.

However, judging from his tone, it seemed that he had not read much of his memory data. Sun Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and continued to maintain his original tone, calmly answering, "Does it make a difference? Lord Soundwave, for you now, crushing me is just a thought..."

"Don't underestimate yourself!"

Soundwave snorted, then strangely fell into silence.

As Sun Cheng anxiously speculated whether he was considering how to deal with him, he heard Soundwave's cold electronic voice again, "Now that you have regained your memory, let's talk openly. Thanks to your intelligence, I was led into an ambush in his base and had to prepare for hibernation to repair my injuries."

"But don't be too happy yet, Starscream is up to some conspiracy again. He suddenly left Cybertron and came here decades ago, and he must have acquired information about the All Spark or the Leader."

Not concealing his killing intent, Soundwave coldly stared at Sun Cheng. "I made some changes to your Core, so I won't kill you. Blackout will arrive on Earth in half a month. Before then, do your best to search for information about the Leader and the All Spark. When I wake up again, I will consider whether to let you continue living based on your efforts!"

"Now, get as far away from me as possible!"
