Sun Cheng clenched the Heaven's Pride Hammer in his hands, his expression showing a hint of excitement.

After persuading Heaven's Pride Hammer, or rather, the consciousness within Heaven's Pride Hammer that seemed to resemble Cybertron Primus Solus Prime, it finally agreed to help Sun Cheng forge some ordinary weapons and equipment.

Hmm!

"Ordinary" here was relative to the Primus weapons previously forged by Solus Prime.

As one of the Thirteen Primes of Cybertron, Solus Prime was a master of weapon and equipment forging. Every weapon she crafted was a sacred artifact capable of world-shattering power.

While Sun Cheng hadn't encountered other Primus weapons, he possessed Megatronus Prime's weapon from the past, the Requiem Blaster. He was well aware that this weapon, forged by Solus Prime for her former lover, had the ability to draw energy from the Stars themselves and even destroy Stars.

Judging by this glimpse, Solus Prime's ability to forge weapons and equipment was truly extraordinary.

"Teletraan, have the Robots deliver a batch of metal materials to my laboratory..."

"Very well, Commander-in-chief. May I ask how much materials you require?"

"The eight common metals, each delivered in one ton, and several rare earth materials, fifty kilograms each for those."

"No problem!"

Sun Cheng gave the command to the Central Main Control Artificial Intelligence, known as "Teletraan," to dispatch the Robots to deliver the metal materials.

Indeed, Heaven's Pride Hammer could forge powerful weapons and equipment, but it required materials. Creating something from nothing violated the laws of physics, and in this science-centric parallel world, such feats were not easily achieved.

Sun Cheng didn't have to wait long; after about fifteen minutes, his laboratory received a notification.

"Commander-in-chief, the metal materials have been delivered. Shall I open the laboratory door?"

Sun Cheng had granted himself the highest level of access to his laboratory, which theoretically meant that even the Central Main Control AI of this base, "Teletraan," could not open the lab without his permission.

"Open it."

Following his command, the alloy door of the laboratory slowly opened.

Several teams of transport Robots brought in smelted metal ingots and plastic barrels containing rare earth materials, placing them on a designated area within the laboratory.

Without the need for further instructions, these transport Robots promptly left the laboratory without lingering for even a second.

Once the laboratory door closed again, Sun Cheng glanced at the various metals and rare earth materials not far away, then lowered his gaze to the Heaven's Pride Hammer in his hand.

"Your Excellency, what do I need to do next?" he asked.

Heaven's Pride Hammer trembled slightly in his hand, and a beam of light shot out from the hammer, quickly scanning the nearby materials. The familiar female electronic voice then spoke again, "You need to visualize the appearance of the weapon or equipment you want to forge and provide any other required data. Once you transmit these details to me, I can assist you in the forging process."

"Is it that simple?" Sun Cheng was somewhat surprised.

"There are a few things to keep in mind. First, since you are not the true owner of Heaven's Pride Hammer, I cannot exert my full power. Therefore, during the forging process, you cannot have unrealistic expectations, or else what you create will be a failure."

"Second, Solus Prime once placed restrictions on Heaven's Pride Hammer. Besides her, anyone else, even a super Leader using Heaven's Pride Hammer to forge weapons or equipment, will need to draw energy from the user during the process."

"So, you need to be cautious."

Sun Cheng thought for a moment before asking, "Can I forge equipment capable of withstanding the attacks of Leader-class warriors?"

Heaven's Pride Hammer's response was direct, "I'm not sure what level you consider Leader-class warriors to be, but the weapons or equipment forged using your energy can, at best, allow you to unleash your full power."

"Only weapons or equipment that allow me to perform at my best?"

Sun Cheng didn't feel disappointed; in fact, he felt pleasantly surprised. His mechanical body had already met the standards of a Leader-class warrior, thanks to reference data from Skyfire and some Elite Warriors of Decepticons and Autobots, continuously redesigned and improved.

What Sun Cheng lacked was combat experience and some unknown factors that temporarily prevented him from taking that final step to becoming a true Leader-class warrior.

However, with his current strength, if he went all out, he was confident in facing Optimus Prime, even if it meant sustaining injuries in the process.

So, from Sun Cheng's perspective, having equipment that allowed him to perform at his best, capable of resisting Leader-class damage and dealing significant blows, was more than sufficient.

After a brief moment of thought, he answered without hesitation, "That's enough! I have no intention of harming others, but I need to protect myself from potential threats. So, for the first piece of equipment, I would like you to forge a shield that can integrate with my body."

"No problem. There are enough materials here. Shall we begin now?"

"Let's get started!"

Sun Cheng gripped the Heaven's Pride Hammer tightly, quickly constructing an image of a shield in his mind, along with some basic requirements. He then inputted all this data into the Heaven's Pride Hammer.

In the next moment, he felt the Heaven's Pride Hammer he held in his hand suddenly become like a magnet, firmly adhering to his hands.

Sun Cheng instinctively struggled but found that he couldn't shake off the Heaven's Pride Hammer.

At the same time, a powerful suction force began emanating from the Heaven's Pride Hammer, continuously drawing energy from his Spark.

The rapid depletion of energy made Sun Cheng feel an uncontrollable fatigue and weakness that he hadn't experienced in a long time.

As his energy rapidly diminished, the Heaven's Pride Hammer also began to react.

"Buzz!"

Amidst a buzzing sound, a beam of light shot out from the Heaven's Pride Hammer, sweeping up most of the materials on the nearby empty space, suspending them in mid-air.

Under the influence of this powerful energy, those materials rapidly disintegrated into atomic states, too small for Sun Cheng's eyes to perceive.

Then, the materials began to rapidly reassemble, forming components that gradually grew in size. Before long, as if attracted by like forces, these components came together, leaving no trace of their previous existence.

With Sun Cheng growing weaker, he witnessed a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.

In the empty space before him, a gigantic shield, approximately three meters tall and half a meter thick, made of an unknown silver-gray metal material, rapidly took shape within less than an hour, seemingly out of nothing.
