The sudden attack didn't faze Sun Cheng.

On the contrary, his face seemed to blossom with a smile in an instant.

"Are you threatening me?"

Sun Cheng stared unwaveringly at Onslaught, his eyes slightly narrowed.

He wasn't worried about a direct confrontation with Onslaught. Though he didn't know much about Onslaught, someone else knew him very well.

As the Intelligence Director of the Skytiger Legion, Soundwave's memory database contained a detailed profile of him.

Onslaught, a former high-ranking commander and one of the giants of the early days of the Skytiger Legion.

However, his perfectionist personality and pride led him to formulate numerous combat plans against the Autobots during the first Cybertron Civil War. Even if the plans had flaws due to his excessive pride, Onslaught wouldn't allow any Decepticon to question him.

During the first Civil War, his pride became a weakness, exploited by Sentinel Prime and his Autobots, leading to crucial victories.

Later, when Megatron could no longer tolerate him, Onslaught was ousted from the highest decision-making levels, and Shockwave, a scientist, took over military command.

Because of his prideful nature, Onslaught didn't have many friends, even within the monster-filled Skytiger Legion. His Warbot Team, exclusively his, was suppressed by Megatron during the first Cybertron Civil War due to several members participating in a rebellion.

So, when Sun Cheng first encountered Onslaught in the Transformers Universe, he was a lone figure.

Knowing all this, Sun Cheng wasn't worried about a direct confrontation with Onslaught.

That's why he personally led a team to Earth upon learning of Onslaught's presence, rather than engaging in an immediate face-off. Sun Cheng was more concerned that Onslaught might infiltrate Earth and, after understanding the situation at Base Two, betray him, tempting Decepticon engineers to turn against him.

"Maybe I overestimated you... or perhaps you underestimated me..."

The smile on Sun Cheng's face became even brighter as he stared directly at Onslaught, showing no signs of fear.

Onslaught furrowed his brows slightly, disliking Sun Cheng's current attitude.

Glancing at the group of Decepticons behind him, he questioned, "Are they the reason you dare to challenge me?"

Although the Electromagnetic Spectrum radiating from Sun Cheng now was powerful and unfamiliar, giving Onslaught a feeling more dangerous than Starscream, he didn't believe that Sun Cheng could transform from an inconspicuous soldier into a powerful leader in just a few years.

Onslaught, who dreamed of becoming a leader, knew well the challenges involved.

The resources required to transform into a leader could be accumulated by an ordinary Decepticon in two or three years. However, having resources alone wasn't enough. Becoming a leader from an Elite Warrior was a transformative process at the level of life.

Even mighty figures like Sentinel Prime and Megatron accumulated power over countless years. Sentinel Prime once wielded Sacred artifacts like the All Spark for an extended period, and Megatron, from a slave to an arena gladiator and then to the Cybertron Military Commander-in-chief, had undergone numerous adventures.

After them, there were not many leaders born naturally on Cybertron.

The most famous, Shockwave, and Optimus Prime both received countless resources from the Skytiger Legion and Autobot faction, experiencing countless life-and-death battles before attaining their current strength.

"Only with All Spark fragments... with fragments alone, it's absolutely impossible..."

A sin called Envy, despite being known for his self-assured intelligence and rationality, influenced Onslaught, and his gaze toward Sun Cheng now revealed undisguised murderous intent.

However, Sun Cheng observed this scene quite clearly and couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha... Haha... Hahahaha..."

Subconsciously wiping his eyes, Sun Cheng realized in the next moment that the version of himself in the Transformers Universe did not possess a human body. Therefore, he couldn't shed tears while laughing.

This abrupt laughter left all the Decepticons present somewhat puzzled.

Onslaught stared at Sun Cheng with an unpleasant expression, revealing a set of fierce fangs. "Are you laughing at me?"

"No, no, no..."

Sun Cheng restrained his smile, shaking his head to deny Onslaught's speculation. "I'm just laughing at myself... how ridiculous..."

Indeed, he wasn't lying. At this moment, Sun Cheng was genuinely laughing at himself, realizing how foolish it was to apply human thinking and conjecture to understand Decepticons.

Thinking about the past few days, his various apprehensions and precautions, even expending considerable computational power to formulate and discard plans against Onslaught after Thunder reported their movements captured by the satellite. Sun Cheng felt he was truly laughable.

"After all, he is a Decepticon..."

As he laughed, the smile on his face completely disappeared, replaced by an openly displayed murderous intent.

"No one can take away what's mine!"

Sun Cheng's voice remained calm. "If you want it, step over my dead body to get it!"

Having said that, he reached behind his waist, and a Plasma Cannon appeared in his right palm.

Although the barrel of the handheld cannon was aimed at the ground, all Decepticons present knew that if Sun Cheng needed it, the next moment it could be directed at his enemies.

Onslaught's expression froze; he had indeed guessed wrong from the beginning. He never expected that this little guy who, two years ago, needed to flatter him to avoid being manipulated by Frenzy and Soundwave, would now have the courage to point a gun at him.

"How dare he... How dare he... How dare he... Damn it..."

Intense humiliation and anger instantly transformed into fury, and Onslaught, with a ferocious expression, roared out the command, "Warbot Team, attack!"

The Sonic Stun Gun, at almost imperceptible speed, quickly appeared and aimed at Sun Cheng, simultaneously unleashing a blue light without hesitation.

Sun Cheng had long been on guard. This guy's Blackout gun was a special electromagnetic weapon that could emit a strong electromagnetic pulse. When hit, the electronic components inside Cybertronians would be severely burned, leading to a loss of combat power or even consciousness.

Because of its rapid firing speed, it earned the name Sonic Stun Gun.

Although Sun Cheng's mechanical body underwent anti-electromagnetic treatment, he hadn't personally tested the power of Onslaught's weapon.

Easily dodging Onslaught's attack, Sun Cheng raised his Plasma Cannon for a counterattack, all the while wearing a smile on his face.

It was just a bit more arrogant and excited than before.

It wasn't until today that Sun Cheng completely adapted to and enjoyed his identity in this world.

"Can violence solve everything... Megatron, I'm starting to find your position intriguing!"
