DC HERO AT MARVEL

The White House internal network had already been breached by Cyborg the moment he arrived.

For Cyborg, whose brain functioned as a quantum computer, hacking into the White House systems was not a challenge—it was, in fact, downright enjoyable.

This allowed Anton to clearly hear every word exchanged between Keller, Thomas, and the President, even inside the Oval Office.

As Anton expected, the U.S. government, led by the President, had no intention of destroying Megatron.

What caught him slightly off-guard, however, was their growing ambition: they were already experimenting with the AllSpark energy and even entertaining the idea of building a mechanical army.

Are they out of their minds?

Leaving aside whether the mechanical life forms created by the AllSpark would obediently follow military orders and serve as expendable soldiers, there was an undeniable risk.

In the original storyline, the mechanical beings created by the AllSpark were almost all Decepticons. That alone would be enough to give the U.S. government a headache.

There were two plausible explanations for why AllSpark-created Earth machines turned into Decepticons:

The machines take on the nature of the AllSpark holder.

This means whoever controls the AllSpark can dictate the allegiance of the mechanical beings it creates.

Earth technological foundation is based on Megatron reverse-engineered technology.

Since Megatron is a Decepticon, the resulting mechanical life would naturally align with the Decepticons.

While both explanations made sense, Anton leaned toward the second.

It was easy to foresee the disastrous consequences of the U.S. government hubris.

Should they genuinely believe they could control the AllSpark and start assembling a mechanical army, they would inevitably end up as puppets to their own creations, ultimately devoured by them.

The result would be a future dominated by mechanical life.

It would be humanity own doing—digging a pit and leaping into it with glee.

Even the Autobots wouldn't be able to save humanity from such self-destruction.

"The AllSpark should never be left in the hands of these power-hungry fools," Anton muttered to himself.

He admitted his own greed for the AllSpark power but was self-aware enough to avoid overreaching.

In contrast, the U.S. government barely understood the AllSpark and was already gambling recklessly. Their obsession with power had blinded them.

With a thought, Anton withdrew from Cyborg perspective.

"If it convenient, I'd like to invite you to our base. Perhaps it will help you understand the sincerity of our alliance."

Anton addressed Optimus Prime.

"A base?"

Optimus Prime was taken aback.

"That right."

Anton moved closer to Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.

In an instant, the group disappeared.

The Sector Seven agents left at the scrapyard were dumbfounded.

Looking around, they found that Batman, Cyborg, and the Transformers had all vanished without a word.

What now?

Should we just sit around?

Somewhere in a Military Base.

Starscream awakened his comrades, Brawl and Blackout.

Brawl was a tank, while Blackout was an armed helicopter.

Together with Starscream, who transformed into a fighter jet, they blended seamlessly into the base.

Starscream sighed inwardly.

If his calculations were correct, these were likely the only Decepticons left on Earth.

As for Scorponok?

To the Decepticons, he wasn't even considered one of them—just Blackout pet.

Starscream quickly shared his intelligence with Brawl and Blackout, immediately grabbing their attention.

"Megatron might be at that Sector Seven secret base?"

"And the AllSpark could also be in their possession?"

Brawl and Blackout exchanged comments, gradually piecing together the situation.

But what Starscream said next shocked them even more.

"Barricade, Frenzy, and Bonecrusher are missing?"

"Chances are slim they're still alive!"

"What on Earth could possibly pose a threat to them?"

Brawl and Blackout weren't under the illusion that Transformers were invincible on Earth.

But in terms of individual combat capability, Barricade and Bonecrusher were formidable enough to take on entire armies. How could they suddenly lose their signals and disappear without a trace?

Everyone understood the euphemism of "disappearance." The harsh reality was... they were almost certainly dead.

"Stay alert. Earth isn't as simple as you think."

Starscream replied firmly.

He then transmitted footage from the Daily Bugle, covering the recent alien invasion in New York, to Brawl and Blackout.

After watching the videos, the two slightly revised their opinions about Earth. Still, they remained somewhat dismissive.

"Batman? Cyborg? Iron Man?"

"Looks intriguing."

"Wait a second. The technology on this Cyborg… it doesn't seem like it belongs to Earth. I can't reverse-engineer it at all. This definitely isn't Earth technology."

"Exactly why I'm telling you to stay cautious."

Starscream tone was grave.

"Through this organization called the Justice League, it clear that Earth might have already had contact with extraterrestrials before our arrival.

There even mention of someone called Superman who said to be hiding among humans. Regardless, we can't afford to repeat Barricade and Bonecrusher mistakes."

"Understood!"

"You can count on us!"

Brawl and Blackout almost pounded their chests in assurance.

"The next step is to locate the AllSpark!"

Starscream declared. "If we can obtain the AllSpark, we'll become the heroes of Cybertron. The entire planet will sing our praises, and we'll rule both Cybertron and Earth!"

"Heroes?"

Brawl burst into laughter. "Hearing that word from your mouth is truly amusing, Starscream."

"And what about Megatron?"

Blackout interjected. "Where is Megatron?"

"Megatron might be in the same location as the AllSpark, or he might not."

Starscream replied coolly. "Blackout, let me emphasize something: our primary objective is not to locate Megatron but to find the AllSpark."

"Fine."

Within the Decepticon ranks, everyone was well aware of Starscream ambition—even Megatron himself.

To some extent, this was something Megatron had deliberately allowed.

Understanding this, Blackout didn't argue.

"Our next target is here."

Starscream said, sharing a map with his companions.

Within the networked view of the three Decepticons, a specific location was highlighted in red:

Hoover Dam.

In a distant galaxy.

A massive war fortress floated silently in the vast expanse of space.

Inside the fortress.

Optimus Prime and Bumblebee had just been transported there.

The two glanced around at their surroundings, their expressions filled with astonishment.

Optimus Prime deep, commanding voice resonated through the chamber:

"We're in space. Based on the coordinates, this doesn't seem to be the Solar System… Batman, is this the Justice League base?"

"That right, this is our base."

Anton gestured toward the central area of the war fortress, where the teleportation device was situated.

"Once everything is resolved, I'll use this to transport all the Transformers back to Cybertron."

Intergalactic teleportation!

Optimus Prime had never anticipated that his earlier doubts would be so swiftly disproven.

His tone carried a trace of amazement:

"You've already mastered such advanced technology? This is truly unbelievable."
