Chapter 565 - Chapter 471 Optimus Prime

After thirteen major cycles.

Iron Fort, the Supreme Council Hall.

This is a perfect fire-shaped building, with radiating branches extending in all directions. In the center of the hall are seats and podiums arranged in a long arc, extending upward in a bowl shape. Each member of the council has a gavel, which they hit when they need to speak. Today, the place is packed, and you can see Cybertronians of all shapes and appearances.

The Mini-Kings were blocked outside and could only see the scene inside the hall by constantly moving. The Combiners sat in the back corner. Some people transformed and flew around the parliament hall quickly, some hung on the edge of the stands, and some floated above the parliament podium. The whole scene was busy and orderly.

The Parliamentary Corps deployed pre-deformation and anti-deformation monitors in advance, and set up an isolation fence to separate the members of parliament from those who were watching the debate and joining in the fun.

As a human being, Fu Qinghai could not enter the Iron Castle Supreme Council Hall to observe the hearing in person, but he could sit at Orion Pax's workstation and watch the live broadcast.

Orion Pax stood by the wall, exactly in the middle of the wall behind the parliamentary dais. The thirteen doors on the back wall represented the spiritual guidance and philosophical vision of the Thirteen Ancestors.

Today's host is Halo Senator. According to Master Titanium's description of Orion Pax, Halo Senator is experienced and visionary. He is open to abolishing the class system and is not opposed to establishing a freer system, such as the social state after the War of the Origin.

"On the other hand," Master Titanium added, "some councillors are very opposed to abolishing the class system because they don't approve of anything that could potentially change the status quo."

Orion Pax was puzzled: "Why? If everything remains unchanged, we may never leave the Well of Fire."

"Why? That's an interesting question."

Master Titanium smiled and said:

"Think about it. If you were a member of the Supreme Council and someone challenged the Supreme Council, what would you think?"

He saw that Orion Pax understood.

"Yes. You will take it as a personal provocation, and that is how the people in the Council Chamber will view you and your gladiator friends. Remember that."

This was Orion Pax's first time entering the Senate Hall. He was shocked by the solemn atmosphere as soon as he entered. Every outstanding figure in Cybertron's history had expounded his ideals and argued for his beliefs here, and he was not qualified to join the ranks of those people. And until this moment, he was still very surprised - a data recorder and a low-level gladiator wanted to change Cybertron society, and the Supreme Council actually agreed to listen to their opinions.

The host banged his gavel.

Everyone sat down in a hurry.

"We gather here."

Councillor Halo said loudly:

"We are going to discuss a well-thought-out issue that has pushed our society from peace to the brink of civil war in a few cycles. The Supreme Council must first condemn the violence that has occurred so far without reservation. Someone must be held accountable for this, and one of our goals today is to find out who should be held responsible for the violence..."

"In addition, the legal issues of the class system will be discussed. The Supreme Council believes that the class system is effective and legal, and the Enemy of Heaven has allowed it to continue to this day in a very careful manner. If he were here, he would definitely be able to speak personally, but now we are faced with a harsh reality: some of us are unwilling to discuss and communicate, and instead choose violence and terror."

Councillor Halo displayed some messages on the communications network, which could be seen from all angles in the hall.

"Enemy, the Council believes that you are still alive and in good condition. We call on your kidnappers to make conditions and release you. Turn yourself in for justice. No matter how much controversy there is, no illegal behavior will be allowed."

"Listen! Listen!"

A mini-King Kong councillor in the last row shouted loudly. His name was Batman, and from what Orion Pax knew, everyone on Cybertron knew he was a corrupt person who only cared about the various interests of the upper class. It was said that Batman would not believe in anything unless he was paid.

Councillor Halo asked for silence.

"I hope that all MPs will be mindful of their words and actions."

He said seriously:

"How else can we ask our audience to be quiet?"

He paused for a moment before continuing,

"It is said that the former gladiator named Megatron was responsible for the disappearance of the Archenemy. This is a serious accusation and needs to be explained. There are also reports that the search team and their commander Starscream were also involved in Megatron's brutal riot. There is a lot of information, so I will not elaborate on it."

Councillor Halo paused for

a moment and said, "Ahem, anyway, the situation is very complicated. Let's hear what the parties involved have to say. First of all, the Supreme Council, in accordance with the rioting, illegal detention and other punishment regulations, now orders Megatron, the Cybertronian from Kalon City, to step forward."

A buzz of whispers echoed through the hall, and everyone present, including Orion, was looking for Megatron. Few people had seen him in person, but everyone had seen his appearance on the communication network. Megatron walked out from the central corridor and stood in the witness stand at the Senate podium.

"I am here at the request of the Supreme Council."

Megatron said calmly.

All the members of the council looked him over carefully.

"You are Megatron? The miner in Kalon City, and the so-called gladiator champion and king of gladiators?"

Secretary-General Feixingyun asked.

He is a great searcher.

"I am."

"What is the basis for your name?"

"There is no basis for this name. I just came up with it myself."

This answer caused a burst of exclamations, partly of approval and partly of condemnation, which spread throughout the auditorium. Councillor Halo struck the gavel again, and the noise finally subsided.

Feiyun looked at the noisy audience with an arrogant look, and then continued to ask questions, his tone becoming even more pointed:

"Do you know that everyone's name is given by the Well of Fire, and cannot be obtained from anywhere else?"

"I have heard of this tradition," Megatron replied, "but I didn't know it was the only way to name something."

"Let's not waste time discussing how the citizens choose their names," the bat spirit interrupted. "Ask more interesting questions."

"Again, observe parliamentary order."

Councillor Halo said.

The bat demon nodded and said no more.

"Your statement before the Supreme Council must be true and complete." Feiyun said.

"I promise," Megatron replied, "although I fear the full truth will displease the members of the High Council, who demand obedience rather than equality."

There was another round of whispers in the audience, and Senator Halo knocked the gavel again for silence, and Flying Cloud once again stared at everyone who dared to look him in the eye.

The class system of Cybertron is over - even if it's not over yet, it's already declining. Fu Qinghai watched the scene in the parliament hall silently. He saw this from the attitudes and expressions of the audience. He didn't know if the members of the parliament saw it too. If they started to calculate their own little tricks, it would mean that the changes proposed by Megatron and Orion would be approved. If so, then these people would most likely put this change into action and rationalize it.

Feiyun nodded towards Halo, signaling the witness to end the identification and oath phase and begin his statement.

"Initially, I had no name,"

Megatron said calmly. He paused deliberately to get everyone's attention. The entire hall fell silent.

"None of us had names. We communicated with each other through electronic signals deep in the mining shafts and smelting plants. We identified each other by different functions. We gave each other nicknames. I was D-16, which was the number of my mine area where I was doing demolition work. Later, I saw the first match in the Colosseum."

Up to this point, Megatron had been speaking calmly to the congressmen. Suddenly, he raised his arm and pointed his finger at the Cybertronians on the second-tier stands, and said loudly:

"That's where I first learned that you don't even bother to spend a second considering the lives of the lower classes. Every Cybertronian sitting on that floor has seen more death than every other person in this hall combined."

"Our lives are meaningless!"

He raised his voice and shouted the last words.

The Halo councillor banged the gavel reflexively.

"Until!" Megatron's voice rose above the pounding of the gavel. "Until we decided to make our lives count. We, the underclass. We, all those workers who died in the mines and factories. We created everything you take for granted. By killing each other in the arenas of Slaughter and Charon, we realized we were individuals. How did we know we were individuals?"

He waited a while, letting everyone think.

The hall fell silent again, as the audience and congressmen waited for Megatron to continue speaking.

"We realize that we are individuals because when we kill our opponents in the gladiatorial combat, we witness their death and realize that they are all independent individuals, so we know that we are individuals. We understand life through killing, and we are beings that can be discarded at any time - after the gladiators died in the battle, their body parts were thrown into the garbage dump, sorted and classified, and the good organ parts were sold to brokers."

"Even though we were easily discarded, we found that we still had value. People paid to watch the gladiatorial games, and when we killed our opponents, some people cheered for us, and when we were killed, others roared in anger. So, if our lives have value, whether others agree or not, then we have the right to have a name."

Megatron finished speaking with great emotion.

"That's how all of this has happened and led to this, where I am standing here before you today. Thank you, my friend Orion Pikes, for helping me get this opportunity and for the time and energy you put into it."

After this unexpected, slightly less dramatic ending, or rather the unexpected mention of Orion Pax, Megatron fell silent, waiting for questions.

Problems soon arose.

"What does the terrorist bombing that happened a few orbital cycles ago, of all places, have to do with you?"

Feiyun asked.

"I had nothing to do with these actions," Megatron replied. "They were done out of pure emotion. I was excited about them, but the difference between me and the people who carried out the bombings was that I channeled my emotions into the direction of 'I want to make Cybertron a better place.' I condemn any attempt to prevent Cybertron from entering a new and better era."

Very clever answer.

Orion Pax thought.

He recalled his previous conversation with Megatron, when Megatron said that the existence of extremists could highlight his rationality. His words were verified here, and now he could speak in front of the Supreme Council and talk about individual values. Representatives of various guilds sat in the front row of the stands and talked in low voices.

"Obviously, you are an exception to your class," Feiyun said, deftly avoiding the previous topic. "But even if you use sweet words to cover up your enthusiasm for the bombing, don't you have any responsibility at all? If you are indeed in a leadership position, then you have the same responsibility as the Supreme Council and its members."

"What you should worry about is what will happen if you don't take my leadership seriously."

Megatron's tone contained a threat.

"We seem to have seen it."

Another voice said that it came from the "transmission system". He was one of the leaders of the digging tigers, belonging to the middle class, responsible for daily construction and engineering construction. Due to his long working years, he was gradually accepted by the senior parliament members engaged in science, art, politics, etc., and was able to express some opinions.

"I emphasize again that I have nothing to do with the serial bombings, nor do I have anything to do with the kidnapping incident in the lobby of Sky City Casino."

Megatron firmly denied.

Orion Pax listened and for a moment he didn't know whether he should admire him or feel ashamed for brazenly distorting the facts in front of the Supreme Council.

"No matter what you say, I won't believe it."

Transmission sneered disdainfully,

"You want us to believe that a data recorder in the Iron Castle Records Hall planned and carried out this attack and kidnapping, and mobilized a force claiming to be 'Decepticons'? And this force specifically claimed to be loyal to you?"

"Decepticon?"

Megatron said calmly:

"What an interesting name."

"Haha, the reason you say that is because this is the name you came up with, am I right?"

Drivetrain asked.

Megatron suddenly stood up straight. He was taller than most Cybertronians, and the lights in the hall made the battle scars on his body look crisscrossed and gleaming silver.

"What I want to say is that you shouldn't make baseless accusations against me and my friend Orion Pax. I don't care what others say. If the Decepticons want to submit to me, I'm happy to accept it!" Megatron stared at the transmission system and said coldly, "Sometimes deception is necessary, because those who should listen to the truth are unwilling to listen. They would rather force themselves to accept the preconceived lies as facts."

The entire parliament hall was in an uproar,

with everyone expressing their own opinions in chaos.

"The Supreme Council has always refused to recognize that this is our right!" Megatron's shout drowned out the banging of the Halo Senator's gavel. "Every Cybertronian has the right to question the Supreme Council. When your actions do not meet the standards set by the Council, Cybertronians should demand change."

"What does the guild have to say?"

Councillor Halo said in a hoarse voice.

"The guild representative, Talisman, requests the floor."

"Speak, Talisman."

"The guild believes that these are the powers of each guild,"

The Talisman nodded to the Guild Masters, who were responsible for managing each class and had full authority over the new Cybertronians who had just joined the class.

"For thousands of orbital cycles, ever since the Thirteenth Progenitor disappeared, the Guild has been managing the work and lives of Cybertronians. Without the Guild, there would be no Cybertron, no Space Bridge, no Hydra Spaceport, no Ironclad Orbital Station, no Satellite Base and Manifestation One, and no Iron Fortress building housing Manifestation One."

After speaking to the audience in the stands.

He turned to the House:

"A criminal who killed countless innocent people with his own will. Such a killer certainly would not feel any heartache when destroying everything created by Yuanshi Tianzun. We must understand that it was Yuanshi Tianzun who created this planet and brought all Cybertronians into this world."

The communications grid carried his words across the planet, as if the planet itself were listening to him.

"The Guild ensures that all Cybertronians live and work in peace and contentment. The Guild has established a large framework within which every Cybertronian can find a social role that suits him or her. If a random criminal can easily subvert the system we have spent countless cycles to build, then I am worried about the future of civilization, and I am worried about Cybertron."

A chorus of approval swept through the hall. Councillor Halo banged his gavel again, asking for silence, and then raised his gavel to point at Orion Pax.

"There is one more person to make a statement."

His voice was low:

"Orion Pax, the data recorder from the Iron Castle Records Office, do you have anything to say?"

"That's nonsense."

As Orion Pax spoke, he left the fast-walking wall and walked through the crowd to the bottom of the central podium. The people around him automatically made way for him. He thought he could see some encouragement and support from the crowd, but he only saw disgust on everyone's face.

"You claim that the Guild has the right to decide the lives of every Cybertronian." Orion Pax asked loudly, "Is this what the Thirteenth Primarch expected? The Guild's power rose, the class system was established, and Cybertron lost its connection with other Transformers in the universe. Is this just a coincidence? You confine every Cybertronian to a smaller and smaller space, and the space for development, prospect and action is getting smaller and smaller. In this world you created, no one knows how to look forward to the future, and no one knows how to imagine."

"I can imagine the outcome of this meeting."

The bat demon said loudly.

There was a burst of laughter in the hall. Orian Pikes looked around, afraid that he would miss some goodwill in the audience... At this time, he saw Jazz. Jazz was sitting in the center of the lowest stand, and his bright color was very conspicuous. Jazz reached out and clenched his fist to cheer him up - hold on!

Orian Pikes turned to the members of the parliament.

He had considered giving a speech, and had even thought about the content of the speech, but at this moment he didn't know how to start, so he could only say simply:

"My fellow Cybertronians, councilors, please listen to me. What Megatron said, although harsh, is true. He has witnessed the tragic experiences of many lower-class Cybertronians, and the experiences of those people are so common that they are ignored. If he feels angry, it is based on love, and this love comes from ideals and the flame of regret for the shattering of ideals."

"The recent attacks were brutal and inexcusable - but only superficially. The unrest across Cybertron will not disappear just because the attacks cease, because it is the normal reaction of people who have been controlled for so long. Due to the constraints of guilds and classes, their latent and ardent wishes have not been realized."

"It is normal for Cybertronians to be able to change from one form to another, so it is normal to want to change from one role to another in society. Lack of change is not stability, it is entropy. Only dead things remain the same."

"No Cybertronian is a simple machine or robot. From the smallest Minitron to the most powerful Combiner, from the simplest and most basic processor to the scientist who teaches us the laws of the universe, everyone contains a unique spark. It is the spark that defines 'who we are', not just 'what we are'. It is the spark that allows us to understand the infinite possibilities brought by freedom, it allows us to live for our ideals, and allows us to choose our own future."

"In the distant past, at critical moments, some Cybertronians stood up to become leaders and lead us through the crisis. For example, Archenemy united all Cybertronians to fight against foreign threats. At that time, parliamentarians, smelters, data recorders and cultural investigators fought side by side to drive away the invaders. What did the invaders want at that time? They wanted to enslave us, turn us into their property, and deprive us of our most basic rights - the autonomy granted to us by the Allspark. Did we drive away the Quintessons just to let the classes and guilds enslave us? Sacrifice independence for the so-called order? I say, no!"

"All Cybertronians should unite again. We don't need leaders who treat the people as mechanical parts, we don't need leaders who drive the people as slaves, and we don't need leaders who regard stagnation as peace. The guild presidents and council members have been too involved and have led to the situation we are facing now. Cybertron needs a new leader who fights for freedom. Such a leader needs to realize that all Cybertronians have autonomy, and everyone is their own master and the master of their own destiny."

"I repeat that once more."

"Every Cybertronian is independent and autonomous!"

"I will remember this moment in the halls of the High Council, for it was at this moment that all free Cybertronians united to fight against those who would rip the wonderful power of the Allspark from us. From now on, we are independent Cybertronians, and if we must give ourselves a new name, it will be the Autobots - we, the Autobots, declare that once we are free, we will never again tolerate oppression."

He finished the last sentence, and a few seconds later he quickly realized that his speech was very good, because when he finished speaking, the parliament hall was silent, and even those who were originally his enemies were thinking about what he said.

Orion Pax clenched his fists.

He raised his arms and shouted:

"For Cybertron! Support the Autobots!"

Everyone also shouted together: "Autobots!"

The sound drowned out the sound of Halo hitting the hammer.

"For autonomy! Support the Autobots!"

"Autobots! Autobots! Autobots!"

Sitting at the highest point of the stands were Megatron's most loyal supporters, and they were also shouting, and their shouts echoed throughout the hall.

This time, it took the Halo Councillor almost a whole cycle to calm everyone down. Orion Pax noticed something strange. He saw Megatron's eyes and expected him to express approval, but he found that he was very angry. Orion Pax didn't know why. He thought: Achieving the goal is the most important thing. There is no need to require us to do every step exactly the same. Orion didn't know if Megatron was angry because of this.

Different from the excitement of the Cybertronians.

Fu Qinghai was almost asleep after listening to it.

What freedom and autonomy.

Political ideas on Earth have evolved to social discipline, economic schools and gender recognition, but the Cybertronians are still reflecting on backward and outdated things such as "freedom".

Moreover, based on the education he received and the historical perspective he formed since childhood, Fu Qinghai actually did not support Orion - wasting time arguing with the parliament? This behavior is not only a waste of effort, but also a waste of the fruits of the revolution. Revolution is not a dinner party, but a bloody sacrifice. Which vested interest group would willingly give up their interests?

"After shouting so many slogans..."

Fu Qinghai yawned:

"It's a complete waste of time."

Cybertron's Supreme Parliament made him seem to see the House of Commons and the House of Lords of Great Britain. The two houses of parliament quarreled every day, and each of them was as ornate and rich in rhetoric as Orion Pax. The prime minister was also replaced, but what problems were solved? Politics requires speeches, politics requires communication, but politics also requires practical work. The antonym of democracy is dictatorship, the antonym of democracy is despotism... But in fact, Fu Qinghai also believes that the antonym of democracy is efficiency.

There is democracy, but no efficiency.

It's always a dilemma.

Fu Qinghai held his cheek with one hand.

I thought: How about opening a bottle of wine?

"Puff."

Fu Qinghai opened a bottle of beer.

"Orion Pax, and Megatron, whether you call your respective followers Autobots or Decepticons, there are obviously more problems at this time."

Councillor Halo banged his gavel hard.

Finally the hall became a little quieter.

"Your actions so far have put this planet on the verge of war. Especially Megatron." Halo pointed at Megatron with his gavel. "Whether or not you ordered your Decepticons to kidnap Megatron, the fact is that the Decepticons did kidnap Megatron, and this is the most critical issue. As for Orion Pax, it doesn't matter whether you discussed worldview or methodology with Megatron. What matters is that your actions, Orion's, and Megatron's, have led to the current crisis."

The words were harsh, but Orion Pikes knew he had no choice but to accept them because they were the truth.

"Yes, Senator," he replied.

The Halo Councillor seemed relatively pleased with him - at least more pleased with him than Megatron's disrespectful silence.

"The issue of freedom has been left for too long. We, this Council, must accept criticism for it. Citizens of Cybertron, I stand before you to express my regret for not recognizing the suppressed indignation that has long perpetuated the class system."

"It's time to look at our future!"

Councillor Halo said loudly:

"We've been turning a blind eye to everything for too long."

Orion stood beside Megatron and listened carefully with him. They looked at each other, and Orion could see that Megatron was still angry, but he also knew that the two of them had to unite at this time. No matter what the senator said, this movement must continue.

And what the MPs said was that they won.

"Without a leader, our civilization will surely decline."

Councillor Halo continued:

"The opinions raised by the Supreme Council may have their own concerns, but in the end, the decision is made by one person. This decision should have been made by Yu Tiandi, but he..."

"We don't know where the Imperial Enemy is."

The magic talisman continued.

Yes, Yu Tiandi is missing, the Supreme Council is arguing endlessly with different opinions, and without a supreme leader to make a decision, the council's discussion will never reach a result - Orion Pax suddenly remembered Qingshan's warning. The human warrior was not optimistic about this trip to the council from the beginning.

Orion looked at Megatron, and judging from his expression, Orion Pax knew that his friend had come to the same conclusion - but his reaction was completely different from his own. Megatron seemed to be looking forward to seeing the institutions and systems of Cybertron civilization completely disintegrated. Although Orion Pax also wanted to pursue freedom, if there was no Cybertron, no Iron Fortress, no Hydra Island or Sonic Canyon...

What's the use of freedom?

"Silence!"

Councillor Halo once again ordered:

"Now is not the time for audience comments. The Supreme Council continues to speak, and we must sort this matter out."

He paused, calming down:

"In the absence of the Heavenly Enemy, we must follow the Supreme Council process and elect a representative first."

"What do you want to do?"

Megatron interrupted loudly,

"If time is of the essence as you say, then don't give us a pretentious speech. Let us hear what you have to say, and say it directly!"

The Halo Councillor lowered his head and stared at Megatron with disdain and anger. From that look, Orion saw all the shortcomings of Cybertron, including the reason that prompted him to make changes. Who cares about the procedures of the Supreme Council, who cares about the ceremony of the Halo Councillors, who cares about the sound of the hammer in this hall and the noise in the audience, it doesn't matter, because in a field underground, unknown workers are dying, maybe in the city of Kalon, maybe in the city of Slaughter...

"Then I'll put it as simply and bluntly as possible."

Councillor Halo said.

Megatron wanted to say something else.

Orion reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Let's hear what he has to say."

Orion whispered.

After a while, Megatron finally relaxed.

"Someone tried to find the leadership module."

The bat demon standing nearby interrupted:

"We suspect the Decepticons were responsible."

"It seems that all crimes committed in the name of the Decepticons are ultimately aimed at finding the Leader Module."

Parliamentary Secretary-General Feiyun said:

"Maybe Megatron or Orion is behind all this. How do we find out?"

"Orion promised nothing to do with the Decepticons."

Councillor Halo said loudly:

"The leadership module is far more important than any other relic left over from the original era. It determines the leader of Cybertron and thus defines the entire society. This decision is irreversible and cannot be changed."

Councillor Halo's tone became more serious:

"But not everyone who can find the leadership module can become a leader. On the contrary, the leadership module can actively discover those who are inherently suitable to be leaders."

"Those who went to search for it have found nothing so far. In other words, the leadership module does not want to be found."

The bat spirit added.

Halo, bat spirit, flying cloud.

The three of them began to sing in unison and echo each other.

It was not like the Batman to treat legends seriously. He should only care about how to accept bribes, but why did he suddenly agree with what the Halo Councillor said about the leadership module? Orion Pax was very confused. He felt that Megatron was not very clear about the current situation.

Halo ignored other people's thoughts and continued,

"The Supreme Council has realized that the events in various cities have completely gotten out of control, partly because of the lack of leaders. This also explains why so many people are suddenly looking for leadership modules. But as we said just now, leadership modules will not be easily found."

Secretary-General Feiyun stood next to Halo and said:

"However, everyone, fortunately, someone has helped us find a breakthrough to solve this problem. We went to consult Master Titanium, the archivist of the Iron Castle Data Records Hall, and he told us something unknown."

"continue."

Megatron said in a low voice. Only Orion Pax could hear him mumbling.

What do they want?

Orion Pax didn't understand the meaning of these polite words. Yes, the leadership module is missing, and many people are looking for it. The whereabouts of the enemy is unknown. But what does this have to do with the class system? What does this have to do with the free will of those ignored individuals on Cybertron?

Orion Pax had never been able to see through the Supreme Council, but he had always believed that these people should not be so hesitant and cowardly. Now they looked like they had been caught doing something wrong, and although they intended to make amends, they would never admit their mistakes.

Councillor Halo continued:

"The leadership module is indeed on Cybertron, but no one has seen it for millions of cycles. According to the Archivist, it will appear in troubled times. Whoever finds the leadership module will lead Cybertron into a new era."

After saying that, Councillor Halo pointed his gavel at Orion and Megatron.

"Yes."

Megatron said in such a low voice that Orion Pax doubted he had heard it.

Councillor Halo said seriously:

"Olean Pax."

"We grant you the leadership module."

"puff--"

Fu Qinghai spit out a big gulp of beer.

The wine mixed with foam splashed onto the screen.

The entire hall was in complete silence. When everyone was absolutely silent, Orion Pax realized how noisy it was just now. It seemed that all the members and audiences in the parliament hall had stopped all functions, and time and space had frozen. The Supreme Council's declaration was set off with exceptional clarity.

Orion Pax couldn't believe what he just heard, and subconsciously said:

"Feel sorry--"

Orion Pax felt that there must have been some misunderstanding just now, so Councillor Halo should say it again.

However, he did not notice that Megatron, who was standing beside him at this moment, was as quiet as a deserted city.

"Bang!"

The members of the Supreme Council suddenly banged their gavels in unison to express their greetings to him.

"Now, it's up to you to go find the leadership module."

Councillor Halo's voice echoed in the hall.

It drowned out the surprised discussions in the audience.

"From this moment on."

"You, Orion Pax."

"You are Optimus Prime."

"You will unite the entire Cybertron planet and all Cybertronians, and lead everyone into the beautiful era you described."

Fu Qinghai stared at the screen with a dull expression.

He didn't even notice the wine sliding down the machine onto the floor.

Optimus Prime...

Orion Pax is Optimus Prime.

Then who am I?

I am Optimus Prime's teacher.
