Transformers: Leader's Proof - Fragile, but Hard to Kill

Chapter 90 [Access Denied, Contact Administrator, Dark X Wolf 17]

Seeing Shockwave return, Megatron turned to Optimus Prime with a triumphant smile.

"So, Optimus Prime, what do you say?" Megatron tilted his head. "Perhaps we should do as you say." Optimus Prime looked at Megatron and chose to concede.

"If my decision jeopardizes the Autobots' future on Cybertron, I accept it. But I will never abandon our human allies." With that, he slammed the Starsword on his back into the ground, then took a step back...

Now that the leader has made his statement, the other Autobots naturally began to remove their sacred objects... including the Death Sweeper 3000.

Seeing the Autobots throw all their weapons on the ground, Megatron slightly raised his head and gestured in Rosa's direction.

"There's another one, she's in danger too." All the planes looked in Rosa's direction. Bumblebee instinctively wanted to protect Rosa, but Rosa pressed his hand down, indicating that everything was alright.

“Incapacitate me? Or kill me temporarily?” Rosa said, slowly walking to Optimus Prime’s side.

"Buzz..." Bumblebee called Rosa's name, and Arcee wanted to go forward and pull her back. Everyone was worried, but Shockwave couldn't understand what she was saying.

“This doesn’t make sense…” Shockwave said, as Starscream stepped forward with Jack in his hand. “No, Shockwave, this makes perfect sense. That monster is hard to kill.”

*Shockwave felt this was even more illogical.

“Since you Autobots are unwilling to do it, why don’t I do it?” Megatron gestured for Rosa to step forward. This time, even the leader wanted to stop her, but she stopped herself.

If saving those humans is the leader's intention, then it doesn't matter if she gives up her own life once; the process is not important, the goal is the most important.

“Megatron, if she is truly indestructible, I would like to apply for research.” These words angered the Autobots even more, and seeing that Rosa was about to walk forward again, Optimus Prime pulled her back once more.

“Optimus Prime, the Autobots will not abandon our human allies, and neither will I. The cost of death is not high for me.” As she spoke, a gun retracted from her hand.

She pointed the gun at her own forehead.

“If this will make them release our ally, then I have no reason to refuse.” This time it was Optimus Prime’s turn to let go. He watched Rosa walk step by step into the pile of relics and shoot him from there.

"Bang—" A gunshot rang out, and Rosa fell to the ground. But when Red Spider saw this, he remembered the clone's experience on the Nemesis.

If someone can stand up even after their brain is blown out, then this one shot is definitely not enough for her and cannot guarantee her safety at all.

Starscream wanted to go up and fire a couple more shots, but Megatron stopped him. Megatron said something inside the paint, and a space bridge opened up near him.

Two soldiers came out pushing something that looked like radar...

Rosa had already repaired the penetrating wound inside her body. That injury would only make her lose consciousness for a few seconds at most, but then she was hit by the dormant ray and temporarily entered a buffer phase.

But the Decepticons actually came and carried her back to the Space Bridge, clearly intending to take her back.

This scene further enraged the Autobots. They thought it was enough that she was lying there peacefully, giving them a sense of security, but why take her away? Bumblebee, in particular, wanted to rush forward. He shouted Rosa's name, but was held back by the barrier, preventing him from doing so.

Because Meiqi and the others are still in the hands of the Decepticons, they cannot...

"Go, Shockwave... find out exactly how that monster works." For some reason, Megatron seemed to be gritting his teeth.

"I want her to be my servant!" Shockwave nodded upon hearing Megatron's order and followed the Space Bridge back to the Responder.

The Autobots were even more agitated, especially Optimus Prime. After exchanging the hostages and the key, they saw the Decepticons activate the Ultimate Lock to reshape Earth and intend to Cybertronize it, wiping out all species.

At that moment, Optimus Prime's anger reached its peak. He couldn't allow Megatron to exterminate other creatures... even if it meant jeopardizing the future of his homeland's restoration.

He swiftly chopped down the two nearest Decepticons with a chop, then rushed to the Star Sword that was stuck in the ground, pulled it out, and ran towards Megatron.

Fueled by rage, he chopped off the arm of "Leader" who was holding the Dark Star Sword in two blows. Taking advantage of Megatron's stagger and lack of reaction time, he swung the Star Sword at the Supreme Lock.

A massive explosion erupted in an instant, and the Supreme God Lock was destroyed... Faced with their destroyed homeland and the still-intact Earth, they chose the latter...

Afterwards, they led a few humans back through the space bridge. Due to the explosion, all the relics were buried under the rubble and there was no time to retrieve them...

Rosa was locked to the dormant ray, which should have kept the action locked, but as before, perhaps the extremely fast processing speed of the code was just enough to buffer it, and Rosa's joint lock was released after a while.

This has already been detected by Shockwave, based on the footage of the previous battle and the scene of the Nascent Soul being hacked that was later transmitted.

She must indeed have a way to extricate herself from this state... He needs to know what that is.

However, there should be a more convenient way to find out all of this. If she herself knows the principles behind everything about her, then the cortical-mental connection would be the most suitable.

He put Rosa in the medical room where Knockout was. Knockout was startled to see Rosa still unconscious and immediately ran far away. He had seen that horrific 'fake machine' footage and knew what she had done.

How did the shockwave bring this fake machine over?

Knocked down, he lay huddled behind the control panel, staring at Rosa in terror. Rosa was beautiful, but her fake-machine appearance and terrifying aura were too strong. She was pretty but also scary, and he was really afraid that she would suddenly leap up and scare him.

Shockwave picked up the cortex-based mental link, just as Megatron arrived to knock down and deal with the arm that Optimus Prime had cut off.

He was about to put his hand back in when he saw Shockwave begin to remove Rosa's armor and helmet, directly attaching the cortical mind-connection device to the back of Rosa's head.

He stood to the side with a forced smile. Megatron wanted to see what was going on in this monster's head. No... he walked over to Shockwave. He wanted to see for himself what was in this monster's head, her memories.

The moment the cortical mental connection was established, Megatron's consciousness was gradually withdrawn, and he saw countless colorful points of light.

The light spot rotated, transforming into countless light stripes, which he traversed, moving through the mental connections in the cerebral cortex.

The multicolored light grew denser and denser; he wanted to see, to see her...page?

At the end of the light was darkness, nothing at all, and then a purple page popped up, displaying the hexagonal three-arrow symbol that often appeared around the monster.

Then Megatron woke up, his consciousness kicked out of the cortical mind transfer.

Shockwave connected to the downlink communication via the screen in the medical room. At that moment, he and Knockout were staring blankly at a burst of multicolored lights as their consciousnesses traveled through time...

Black screen, only a purple page.

Then Megatron woke up, having been kicked out...

Now there are three question marks on my face.

The three machines moved in unison, looking at the result, then at Rosa, then at the result again, then at Rosa again.

The three optical lenses were erratic, and this time even the shockwave reached out to check if there were any connection problems with the brain cortex's mental connection transposition, and even pulled them out to check if there were any problems inside.

Even though it's hard to discern emotions in Shockwave's large eyes now, a hint of doubt can still be seen within them.

The knockdown also revealed that the screens on either side of Rosa's eyes had closed at some point, displaying an "Access Denied" pop-up... the taunt was palpable.

Then, when the shockwave removed the cortical mental connection device for examination, the pop-up window disappeared, and the screen shrank back to the sides.

"This doesn't make sense..."

-

At that moment, the purple-eyed robot, far away in Copper-9, paused, realizing that her permissions seemed to have been temporarily restricted.

Uzi and his yellow tail looked at each other...
