Chapter 342: Megatron
2022-10-19 by Great Demon Spirit
【Name: Megatron】
【Affiliation: Decepticons (Leader)】
【Chassis Type: Type IV (Good)】
【Height: 10 meters】
【Energy: 100,000 units (Abundant)】
【Allspark: Active (Good)】
...
On the chaotic battlefield, screams and cannon fire intertwined. From time to time, a collapsing skyscraper would topple over, smashing into adjacent buildings, sending cascades of rubble crashing against each other with a deafening roar.
In Megatron’s memory, this was his first time on a battlefield. But for some reason, the Computing Core in his Central Processor told him that his powerful Chassis was experiencing some unusual changes.
Energy flow efficiency had increased by 17%, Allspark pulse frequency had grown by 12%, Central Processor activity had risen by 29%...
Every metric within his body had improved in different ways. Correspondingly, specific indicators like speed, neural reflexes, and explosive power all saw a small boost.
Megatron even tapped his own head. A Status Display materialized before his optics, a direct data feed from the Allspark in his chest that provided a centralized analysis of every characteristic of his Chassis.
Aside from the few simple stats at the top, a long list of specific data points followed below, all of which told him one thing: his Chassis had become healthier and stronger.
Healthier and stronger than ever before.
Then Megatron understood. This feeling was called "excitement."
He was excited! So excited that every one of his body’s metrics had seen a massive improvement!
So this was the legendary feeling of excitement!
Megatron couldn't help but roar at the sky. As he gazed upon the world suffused in blue, a fiery emotion burned within his two eyes, which glowed with a terrifying red light.
Enemies swarming through the sky, aircraft trailing thick smoke as they plummeted to the earth, enemy soldiers carpeting the ground, a ceaseless tide of reinforcements pouring from the tunnel, and the visually stunning Leviathans.
All of it, every last bit, was like a massive injection of super-energy crystal, filling him with a sense of euphoria.
He was born for the battlefield.
His colossal roar was incredibly piercing—not a shrill, sharp sound, but the feral, savage howl of a Beast.
A few aircraft were drawn over. A dozen Chitauri soldiers looked down from above, and after a brief exchange, they fixed their gazes, filled with killing intent, on Megatron.
Although they were intrigued by this metal Giant who had appeared out of nowhere, it did nothing to quell their desire for slaughter.
A dozen Energy Cannon blasts slammed into Megatron's body.
Megatron stared indifferently at the swarm of tiny Reptiles, not even bothering to dodge as he placidly met the attack.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The volley of attacks, each capable of easily destroying a Fighter Jet or a tank, rained down on Megatron. But to the Chitauri's astonishment, Megatron was completely unharmed; his body didn’t even sway.
They had clearly taken his immense size into account and deliberately cranked the energy output to maximum. Even if it couldn't kill him, shouldn't it have had some effect?
Yet under such a dense and powerful energy assault, Megatron hadn't even flinched!
"Insects, my turn!"
Megatron chuckled, his voice laced with an indescribable fury and fanaticism. The energy vessels beneath his excited metal skin trembled.
The Chitauri exchanged glances, suddenly feeling a sense of dread.
A knot formed in the stomach of one Chitauri soldier. He had experienced this feeling before, not long ago, during a military operation to hunt down the Kryptonians. General Zod had been just like this right before he struck.
Except... he didn't seem nearly as intimidating as the metal Giant before them now.
Megatron shook his frame. His metallic skin and the metal flesh beneath it began to shift with his movements. The areas previously struck by the energy blasts suddenly warped, and then, a burst of pure energy erupted forth, pouring back towards the Chitauri!
"Gurgle?! (Vibranium?!)"
The Chitauri managed only a single cry of alarm before they were engulfed by their own energy. Their aircraft and all, they were blanketed by a massive wave of pure energy and sent flying, the Chitauri aboard blasted to pieces.
"Hahahahaha..."
Megatron let out a low laugh that grew louder and louder until it became a deafening, maniacal roar! This newcomer to the battlefield took an ecstatic sniff of the gunpowder-filled air and let out a series of wild howls.
He leaped twenty meters, swiftly scaling a skyscraper. Finally reaching the top, he stood at the apex of the six-hundred-meter-tall building, gazing fanatically at the chaotic battlefield below.
The roars and screams, the gunfire and explosions—it was a symphony composed just for him.
A Leviathan, clad in heavy armor and moving like a great fish, noticed the massive figure of Megatron. His silvery metallic sheen, nine-meter-tall body, and unrestrained laughter naturally drew the Leviathan's attention.
Strictly speaking, this Leviathan, which seemed to defy gravity as it swam freely through the air, possessed a much larger body than Megatron.
But as if Megatron would care. He watched the approaching Giant Beast, ignoring the Chitauri soldiers firing desperately from its back, and let out a low growl. He raised his left hand, and the multitude of metal components on his forearm began to shift and reassemble, finally forming a small cannon.
BOOM!
A tremendous explosion echoed, accompanied by a splatter of flesh and blood. The Leviathan let out a pained cry. Although its vaunted Armor had blocked some of the damage, it had been reduced by less than a tenth.
An exhilarated Megatron had used three thousand units of Energy in a single shot, crippling a Leviathan with one blast.
In truth, even one thousand units of energy would have been extravagant for such a target.
The violent explosion drew attention from all sides.
"Hey, a tough big guy! Tony must be here!" Tony said as he rounded a skyscraper, having just wiped out yet another squad of Chitauri soldiers.
He flew directly in front of Megatron and said, "Tony, you should have come sooner!"
"This trash doesn't require the Creator to take action. I, Megatron, am more than enough!" Megatron stated in a low voice.
Tony was dumbfounded.
Artificial Intelligence?
No, the emotional expression was far too rich. He could clearly feel the fanatical emotion emanating from this thing.
It reminded Tony of the "Bumblebee" who had arrived with the Old Bartender that day.
"Looks like Tony has been secretly up to something amazing again. The Creator, huh? Jarvis, are you jealous? They're some form of intelligent lifeform."
"That's not it, sir. An intelligent lifeform would still be within the understandable scope of artificial intelligence, unable to escape the constraints of its core programming. But they... they possess genuine emotions. I have run 193,000 calculations and made 211,600 comparisons from my database. Every one of his expressions is highly similar to human emotions," the AI Butler Jarvis replied from within the iron helmet.
