"...It's such a nostalgic and annoying face, child... It was longing that brought me back to my homeland, but fate made me encounter you... Seeing you, I can't help but think of him, my dear brother, Liege Maximo... Perhaps our meeting is the arrangement of destiny, child... In the past, when my brothers were still around, I had a name, but that doesn't matter anymore... Once certain things happen, nothing can be changed..."

"Now, child. Are you still desperate for the upcoming duel? Hehe, let me help you. His bloodline flows within you, and what belongs to you is victory and glory, not despair... Now, child, I will teach you how to defeat those vile monsters called 'Giant Grims'... Remember, from this day forward, I, Lord Fallen, am your teacher..."

...

As the data continued to fly by, Sun Cheng's expression began to worsen.

He finally realized why the Decepticons harbored such hatred towards 'Lord Fallen'.

D-16 was the name given to Megatron by the ancient Quintessa colonizers, the Face of Five, shortly after his birth.

There is no doubt that it is a humiliating codename, so after achieving numerous victories in the arena, he eagerly gave himself a new name—Megatron.

Indeed, 'Lord Fallen' was Megatron's teacher. During Megatron's vulnerable stage, he bestowed upon him power and the skills to wield it.

However, his method of instruction was more akin to torture than training.

Clearly, 'Lord Fallen' extended his hatred towards Liege Maximo onto Megatron, whom he believed to be his descendant.

Upon his return to Cybertron and discovering Megatron, he was reawakened to the painful memories of the "Original Civil War." Filled with the intent to kill, he repeatedly subjected Megatron to violence, beatings, and relentless abuse under the guise of training!

Although it is unclear why, ultimately Lord Fallen did not kill Megatron.

Nevertheless, his past actions left an indelible mark in the heart of this hero, igniting uncontrollable murderous intent within Megatron upon hearing news of Lord Fallen from Sentinel Prime!

...

As Megatron's memory data was continuously accessed, an excited blue light incessantly flickered in Sun Cheng's eyes.

The ancient history of Cybertron Planet, long buried by the passage of time, began to unfold before him.

In this moment, he felt as though he had taken Megatron's place, becoming the leader of the Decepticon army. Countless classified secrets pertaining to the Decepticon Legion flowed endlessly through his readings.

These abundant findings finally caused Sun Cheng to forget his previous encounters and unease, greedily delving deeper into Megatron's memories.

Misfortune arrived shortly thereafter.

When Core delved into countless memories and encountered an incomprehensible message, Sun Cheng instinctively focused his mind to decipher it.

However, just as his consciousness made contact with that message, a deep, angry, and malevolent voice suddenly echoed in his mind: "...How long have I been in slumber, and now even a mere insect dares to plot against me..."

Before Sun Cheng could react, a wave of horrifying data began to forcefully infiltrate his Core, causing a surge of alarm.

"Warning, warning. Unknown data intrusion detected... Activating proactive interception function... Initializing defense systems... Core data encryption... Misinformation data function enabled..."

"Warning. Intrusion data exceeds interception threshold, breaching proactive interception system... Warning. Unknown error detected. Defense systems disengaging... Misinformation data system being accessed... Warning, warning. Core data compromised..."

Boom!

It was as if a thunderclap resounded in his mind!

Although Sun Cheng was unable to comprehend the sudden turn of events, his Core instinctively activated its defense mechanisms.

However, his Core, which had once been modified by the All Spark, now seemed unguarded and easily overwhelmed by the deluge of terrifying data. The defense system was swiftly annihilated, followed by the subsequent collapse of the secondary memory storage.

Amidst the onslaught of invading data, Sun Cheng soon felt a complete loss of control over his own body. Core had been thoroughly compromised, and his control over the mechanical body had been seized effortlessly.

In other words, his fate now rested in the hands of this unexpected intruder.

"Damn it, it's Megatron..."

Realizing the dire situation, Sun Cheng's expression turned exceptionally grim.

He could even discern a sudden influx of fragmented information flooding his mind.

Just as he had done to Megatron moments ago, this detestable individual was now subjecting him to the same treatment.

Confronting this Decepticon Leader who had managed to survive despite the complete destruction of his vital Spark, Sun Cheng knew that pleading for mercy would be futile.

Having absorbed vast amounts of Megatron's memory data, Sun Cheng likely possessed more knowledge about Megatron than the other way around.

Having experienced intrusion and the forcible extraction of crucial memories, such humiliation was undoubtedly unbearable for a leader like Megatron.

Now, the other party is probably planning to annihilate him with the intention of killing him.

It is indeed a very bad experience for someone to casually flip through memories, as if an additional consciousness suddenly appeared in your head, browsing through all your memories right in front of you.

Sun Cheng had such an experience in the past.

When he was still very weak at the beginning of his journey, Starscream invaded his Core and almost accessed all his secrets.

I still remember that at that time, even he himself was in despair, but he was unexpectedly saved by a sudden force.

According to his calculations afterwards, it was likely the mysterious spherical space inside his body that saved him at that time.

At the moment, seeing that his memory data is at risk and being recklessly accessed by this invading information.

Sun Cheng quickly tries to concentrate, fully focusing on calling the spherical space inside his body, hoping for a miracle to happen once again.

The will to survive is completely ignited at this moment, and he frantically tries to summon the spherical space hidden somewhere in his body, attempting to defeat the invading information and regain control of his body.

Whether his efforts received a response or not, shortly after, Sun Cheng suddenly feels a familiar, icy sensation rushing out from somewhere inside his body and swiftly flowing into his Core.

The next moment, the voice that was still maliciously browsing through his memory data suddenly expresses surprise, "Huh!"

In an instant, all the terrifying information that had been dwelling within Sun Cheng's Core is completely defeated and expelled.

After reclaiming control of his body, he, who was already drenched in cold sweat from the recent encounter, doesn't dare to linger. He jumps up abruptly, resembling a missile suddenly launched from the depths of the sea, and heads straight towards the ocean.

Unbeknownst to him, not far from Megatron in the muddy waters, something resembling a deep-sea shell slowly opens.

Inside, a spherical object resembling an eyeball slightly turns in his direction and then turns toward Megatron.

Then, it slowly closes!
