Within the province of Great Canada, approximately eighty kilometers away from the River Valley region, lies a vast sinkhole area.

This area resembles a crater formed by a meteorite impact, spanning several square kilometers.

However, it is not a crater formed by a meteorite impact. A careful examination of the surroundings reveals that it is a special soil formed by the blastoff and prolonged combustion.

In comparison to impact craters formed on the ground by meteorite falls, which may also lead to crystallization of the ground in a short period due to high temperatures, there is a distinct difference from the special soil formed by prolonged burning.

This place is the recent battlefield left behind by the conflict between the U.S. Military and the Decepticons.

The craters on the ground, strictly speaking, should be the impact craters formed by the Blastoff after the Decepticon's airborne squadron shot down U.S. Military aircraft during their confrontation.

Because the U.S. Military aircraft carried a large amount of fuel and ammunition, it inevitably continued to burn for some time after crashing.

When Sun Cheng and his team arrived here, some time had passed since the conflict.

The U.S. Military had cleaned up the area, recovering a large amount of wreckage from the crashed military aircraft to prevent information leakage in case some military aircraft did not burn completely.

Only a very small number of metal fragments remained here, as the equipment on military aircraft contained metallic elements with radioactive properties, and ignoring them for a long time could still have an impact on the surrounding environment.

Sun Cheng did not expect to encounter Onslaught in this situation.

Obviously, Onslaught did not expect it either!

Both groups almost simultaneously entered the sinkhole area, and Thunder and Sun Cheng, who had been at the forefront of the team, noticed Onslaught and his team climbing out of a crater several hundred meters away.

"It's you?"

The moment their gazes met, Onslaught recognized Sun Cheng.

Although his Electromagnetic Spectrum had changed a lot, he could still vaguely discern many things.

"Long time no see!"

Sun Cheng raised his hand, and instantly, all the Decepticon warriors behind him stopped.

Red light flickered in Onslaught's eyes, and his expression darkened.

Indeed, he had heard a lot about Frenzy's deeds from Starscream over the past few years, but he had never taken them seriously.

After all, he was a senior Decepticon commander, a veteran giant-like figure.

In the long years Onslaught had experienced, he had witnessed the rise of many latecomer Decepticons or outstanding Autobots.

However, each of them had received strong support from their own camp.

Or they had survived dangerous experiments by evil scientists like Shockwave and Starscream, coming out alive from them.

So, compared to Starscream's extravagant narration, this veteran Decepticon giant believed more in what he had personally witnessed.

In Onslaught's memory, Frenzy had indeed left a somewhat profound impression on him.

But in Onslaught's original memory, that weak and pitiful guy was at most labeled as 'a somewhat ambitious Decepticon.'

If Frenzy hadn't presented the memory chip of Jazz back then, Onslaught wouldn't have given him a second glance.

After all, in the beginning, Frenzy, in Onslaught's mind, was just a pawn that could be slightly manipulated to cause trouble for Starscream and Soundwave, someone who didn't matter whether he was there or not.

Later, before preparing to enter stasis, Onslaught, though generous once, threw all his unused belongings on Earth to Frenzy.

But in Onslaught's eyes, when he returned from stasis, the once somewhat ambitious little guy had, at most, become an advanced warrior.

Onslaught had considered the possibility that Frenzy might attach himself to other Decepticons, but he knew Decepticons too well—they were almost all selfish and full of pride.

Bullying the weak was commonplace within the highly hierarchical Skytiger Legion, and even Onslaught himself looked down on Frenzy. Naturally, he didn't think Frenzy could climb any high branches.

However...

In just over two years, when they met again, he realized he was not only wrong but incredibly wrong!

"Elite Warriors... No, his current strength is probably not below mine..."

Crimson eyes continuously scrutinized Sun Cheng, and the more Onslaught looked, the more shocked, envious, and angry he became.

Regarding the classification of Cybertronians, it had emerged before the Civil War but was truly formalized by the Skytiger Legion after the onset of the Civil War.

From its inception, this ranking system almost firmly trapped over 99.9% of Decepticons at the bottom of the enslaved pyramid.

Although over the millions of years, a considerable number of Decepticons had climbed from the lower ranks to become advanced warriors or even Elite Warriors based on military achievements, they were still a drop in the bucket compared to the entire population.

Most Decepticons, despite having longer lifespans than Earthlings, never lived long enough to die a natural death. They were treated as cannon fodder, dying on the battlefield.

Someone like Frenzy, who started as cannon fodder, had climbed to the same height and position as Onslaught in just a short two years.

Even with Onslaught's extensive experience, he now only felt shock, envy, and anger.

For Onslaught, born during the era of the Cybertron Council of Primes, it took millions of years of careful body refinement to reach his current Leader status.

Although the entire Cybertron Planet had slept for millions of years during World War II to avoid Cosmic Rust, Onslaught had spent much more time reaching this point than Frenzy.

The more he looked, the more infuriated he became, and the more he thought, the angrier he got.

"It's the All Spark fragments... Yes, it must be the All Spark fragments..."

In his mind, a piece of information he had heard from Starscream came up: Frenzy had obtained an unknown number of fragments after the All Spark shattered during the battle in Las Vegas.

Thinking back to when he had also come into close contact with the All Spark a few years ago, causing his own body to undergo transformation, Onslaught's greed and resentment surged uncontrollably.

He knew that Jazz's memory chip was obtained by Frenzy during the battle in Las Vegas.

Now, on careful consideration, he realized that Frenzy had only brought out a memory chip of an Autobot advanced warrior to trade with him, never revealing the intelligence that he had also acquired All Spark fragments.

Decepticons were inherently selfish beings, and considering Onslaught had met Frenzy again just two short years later, discovering that his strength had caught up, it was unsettling for someone as self-assured as Onslaught.

"Damn... truly damn..."

His face became increasingly sinister due to his murderous intent, and Onslaught's gaze locked onto Sun Cheng as he ordered in a condescending tone, "Hand over the All Spark fragments, or die!"

At this moment, thoughts of Quintessa civilization, carbon-based metals, and being used as a gun by Starscream were all thrown to the back of his mind. Onslaught now had only one goal: to snatch the All Spark fragments from Sun Cheng's hands.
