Doomsday Volcano, the edge of the mechanical palace.The newly resurrected Scourge was standing there like a statue.From here, you can see the whole of the Wasteland Hell, which of course requires excellent eyesight.For a robot whose binocular focal length can change, the field of view is not a problem.The black mountains at the end of the wasteland, as well as the demons flying along the River Styx, are also vividly visible."
I've never seen anything like it."
He whispered, "It's a strange sight, it's hard to describe." ”"Won't it?"
Merlin's voice came from behind the machine, and he said, "Whether it's Optimus Prime or Shockwave, they all swim through the stars, and in that endless sea of stars, aren't there many barren worlds?"
”"But that's just sheer desolation."
The scourge leaned slightly over the man levitating beside him, and then replied in a respectful voice: "Mere desolation and despair emanating from the inside out are not the same concept. ”"In my memory, I have seen worlds that have died because the stars have gone out; I've seen the wasteland shattered by asteroids; Even I left footprints on Mars. ”The machine paused, and he said, "But those places, those landscapes, are different from your land. ”"Hopeless?"
Merlin wasn't angry or out of shape at Sapien's comments.He just said, "You've only been here for a day, and you've already learned the truth about this wasteland?"
Should I praise you for being smart?
Or should you say you're sharp?
”"Neither."
The sapient machine blinked suddenly, and he said to Merlin, "I just met a young lady named Hope, who briefly told me the story of this hell, about the past of this wasteland, which was used as a cage for the fallen evil spirits who had nowhere to go, a prison that could never be freed. ”"The tone of such a prison must be hopeless and gloomy.""
I'm just judging this from logic, don't you think I've come up with the precise adjective despair from the scenery in front of me?"
”"I'm a robot."
He said: "I don't have such an emotional thought circuit, maybe the former Optimus Prime can perceive it, but I can't, I'm just born after all." ”The "hahahaha" confession of the natural disaster and that kind of weird humor made Merlin laugh out loud.He suddenly thought that this robot made of two souls was quite interesting.Speaking of which, it is probably because Icarus was born from a part of Merlin's soul, which led to the distinct character of the soul that founded the Cult of the Mechanicus.In the current Cult of the Mechanicus, those high-level intelligent machines seem to have their own unique personalities.While not as varied and complex as human personalities, they are very different from the traditional notion of absolutely cold robots.This can probably be regarded as another embodiment of people gathering like and things grouping.Merlin floated a few steps backwards, he stopped, looked back at the scourge leaning over, and suddenly asked, "After you recovered, you chose to join the Cult of the Mechanics, I'm actually curious what drove you to make this decision...
Do you really believe that Icarus and I can help you remake Cybertron?
Or is it just a compromise made under pressure to be dismantled?
”The Scourge maintained that bent movement.He didn't answer.Merlin added, "Or maybe I'm asking more directly, joining the Cult of the Mechanica, do you do it from the heart?"
Or is it just a temporary choice?
”"Your question doesn't make sense, Your Majesty."
After a few seconds, Scourge replied, "I have written the data information of my conversion to the Mechanicus into my thought circuit, and I am now the Guardian Knight of the Mechanica. ”"I've accepted this identity, and it doesn't matter if I want it or not, and for what purpose I'm going to do it.""
No, it's important."
Merlin accentuated his tone, and he said, "The Cult of the Mechanics doesn't know much about the Cybertrons' mechanical souls, and the peculiarities of your soul, you have gathered the will of two legendary warriors, Optimus Prime and Shockwave. ”"With the right body, you can burst out with even more power than Icarus.""
In other words, in some special circumstances, Icarus does not yet have the ability to command you to do what you are not willing to do."
Merlin blinked, and he was very honest, "Icarus is trying hard to be a good leader, but I know that she is still lacking, she has a sense of trust in robots, in her people, and she has not experienced 'betrayal' yet. ”Raven Maharaja smiled and said, "I don't want her to go through something that wasn't good. ”"Ah, I see, are you out of concern for the people around you, but also worried that I will defect at a critical moment?
Thus having a terrible negative impact on the development of the Cult of the Mechanica. ”Scourge looked up, his mechanical eyes looking at Merlin.After a few seconds, he said, "With all due respect, Your Majesty, your worries are unwarranted. ”"Explain, then."
With his hands behind his back, he hovered in the air and said, "Let's have a more open and honest conversation." ”"Don't use the glorious reason of reviving Cybertron as an excuse this time, you also said that Optimus Prime is just one of your minds, it will make this decision, but you don't have to.""
Okay."
The machine straightened up.He didn't hide his true thoughts anymore, Merlin was such a powerful creature as clear as he was talking very clearly, and the conversation between the two had gone so far as to get to this point.The Scourges were clear that Merlin was not so polite to him because the Raven Maharaja was gentle by nature.To put it more bluntly, the Cult of the Mechanica, which was in its infancy, needed Scourge force and knowledge of Cybertron's affairs.The two had this conversation just because he had enough value.But after seeing Merlin's hell, Scourge also realizes that he is not irreplaceable, and Merlin's attitude proves it.The kind of openness that he had shown before when he was recovering did not deceive the perceptive Maharaja.If the natural disaster no longer knows what is good or bad, if he does not tell the truth, then his fate is destined to be miserable."
I'm not lying, Your Majesty.""
I joined the Cult of the Mechanics in large part because I believe that you and Lady Icarus are more trustworthy than Quintasha who deceived Optimus Prime with lies. ”"Of course, it would be rude and impossible to ask the two of us to help us rebuild the world when we first met."
Speaking of this, he hesitated.He glanced at Merlin's expression, and then said what he really thought in his heart: "Even the reconstruction of Cybertron, the idea itself may actually be more of an obsession left in my will by Optimus Prime. ”"To be honest, I'm not sure if that world can be rebuilt, after all, I still have the scene when it was completely torn apart, and it is almost irreparable."
Merlin nodded.The voice of the heart that vanity hears is consistent with the statement of natural disaster.The robot, who didn't know anything about magical powers, didn't know that Merlin didn't really need to have this conversation with him, Merlin could hear all his thoughts with his ears.It's a conversation, and it's a test.As soon as the Scourge makes any concealment, any insincerity, any harboring evil, vanity will take over its soul and will.Its soul was stitched together by Merlin's own hands.It would be strange if the cautious Raven Lord did not do anything in the process.The force and knowledge of the Scourge is indeed what Merlin needs.But Merlin had already paid the price for being gullible to others.He would rather destroy the free will of this robot with great potential, even to break through the Father, than to expose himself or Icarus to another shameful mutiny.Being deceived for the first time can be attributed to bad luck.But if you get cheated a second time, it's all your own problem."
But as you can see, I still made my choice."
The Scourge didn't know what Merlin was thinking, nor did he know that he was walking on the edge of a terrible cliff, and that a single lie would plunge him into the abyss.He said to Merlin, "The reason why I chose to believe you and Miss Icarus is actually very simple, just now, I heard from Miss Hope about the relationship between the robots of the Mechanicus and this hell. ”"I can't understand the belief in life and death in the Cult of the Mechanicus, which the Cybertrons don't have," he said. ”"But I think if you can accept a group of primitive robots into your Hell, you can treat the robots as your people, and allow them to exist, multiply, and develop civilization in the wasteland...""
Then, in our time of need, this hell should also open its arms to the Cybertrons of the stars.""
Optimus Prime's will is asking me to rebuild the world, but if Cybertron is completely unable to rebuild, then settle for the second best thing and find a new home for the exiled people without war and discrimination." ”"I think this should also satisfy Optimus Prime's last prayers and obsessions."
He pointed to his head and said, "Of course, there is Shockwave, that guy is much easier to convince than the troublesome Optimus Prime." ”"It craves war, it craves destruction, and I heard from Miss Hope that this hell is preparing for war, and it seems like you are going to war with the other hells."
The machine shrugged his shoulders and said, "Shockwave's thirst for war will also be satisfied in the battlefields of hell." ”The machine stretched out its arms and said to Merlin: "I do have selfish intentions, and if I don't satisfy the obsession of these two guys, my newborn soul will not be at peace, and there will even be a risk of tearing, and I don't want to die." ”"And a world that satisfies both Optimus Prime's desire for peace and a future, as well as Shockwave's fervent pursuit of war...
It's really hard to find. ”Scourge looked at Merlin, seemingly a prisoner awaiting a verdict.Merlin folded his hands behind his back, and his blue eyes were calm.After a few seconds, he turned around, waved his hand without looking back, and said to the Scourge, "Icarus has a new body for you. ”Merlin said, "Go to the construction workshop to change back into the Cybertron body, and conduct a comprehensive test of your future body, don't choose to wronged yourself because of adaptation, and make sure that your new body can use your full strength." ”"After that's done, you and Icarus come to my office."
Merlin said, "I have some questions for you about the leadership module you brought back. ”"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Scourge leaned over again and sent Merlin away from the edge of the volcano.After the Raven Maharaja's figure disappeared, the natural disaster breathed a sigh of relief, and although the wisdom machine did not have the function of breathing, his nervous heart finally relaxed a little.When confronted by Merlin, even a robot can feel the instinctive fear of a predator.That Your Majesty only needs to wave his finger, and the life that has just begun in the natural disaster will be completely ended.All living beings have a desire to be "alive", even robots."
Thou shalt not lie, nor shall thou conceal it."
The robot looked back at the scenery of the wasteland hell, whispered, and then turned and walked to the construction workshop located beneath the crater of Doom.A few minutes later, he came to the large cabin of the construction workshop.A giant figure about 15 meters tall is standing there.Hundreds of robotic arms are dazzlingly making the final corrections to the body that has just been crafted from the Smart Tower's workshop.The massive body was made up of tens of thousands of parts, and it stood like a hill in smoke in the white gas used to cool it.Its appearance is very similar to Optimus Prime's body, except for some minor differences, such as the weapon module, which seems to be borrowed from the body of Shockwave.Icarus and Hope, as well as Adam with the hammer on his back, the triumvirate of the Cult of the Mechanicus, stood beneath the mechanical body.They seem to be talking about something.The Scourge carried its arms on its back, and with the thrusters of its feet, walked in their direction.He wasn't trying to imitate Merlin.It's just a subconscious act, and at the moment of any life being is born, they instinctively imitate the person they see at first sight.It's like the seal of a chick."
Our mighty cathar knight is here."
Hope, the sharpest-eyed man, turned his head and saw the scourge silently drifting in at a glance.She said a word to the two people beside her, and the Great Dark Sky nodded very politely to Miss Hope, who stopped beside Icarus, looked up, and looked at his new body.The glasses lady noticed the natural disaster and didn't say a word, she asked curiously, "What?"

Not satisfied?
”"Do you want to hear the truth?
Ms.
Icarus?
”Scourge turned his head and said, "You sapient machines are very smart, just like the Cybertrons were in a primitive society, but your understanding of machines...
Anyway, if I had to judge, this body is pretty badly made. ”"You just combine Optimus Prime and Shockwave's body very stiffly, and that's not going to work."
He glanced at the mighty body, shook his head, and said, "Tear it down." ”"It doesn't meet my requirements, of course, you can leave it for other robot warriors to use, and on the way here, I observed the combat training of the Cult's mechanical warriors.""
The training was crude and ineffective, and from today onwards, I'll take over the training of the Mechanical Samurai...
No problem, right?
