Optimus Prime ceased the battle, and Sentinel Prime also tacitly refrained from engaging him again.
The two Autobot Leaders stood apart, looking at each other coldly.
Optimus Prime gazed at his former mentor across from him, feeling that this teacher had never seemed so unfamiliar in his entire life.
"I refuse!"
He calmly declined Sentinel Prime's proposal, devoid of anger or resentment.
"I may not be a qualified Leader, but I believe that the peace Autobots seek should not be built on the destruction of another civilization."
"Perhaps the path is winding, but I lead the Autobots to seek another way to coexist peacefully with the humans of Earth."
"As for Cybertron, we've committed enough sins, let it be. Only the power of time or the rebirth of the Creators can slowly restore it now!"
Sentinel Prime stared at the determined look in Optimus Prime's eyes and sighed.
Just when Optimus Prime thought he was about to say something, four jet thrusters appeared behind Sentinel Prime's lower legs.
In an instant, he rocketed towards Optimus Prime, and his menacing face nearly merged with his opponent's.
"Then, you shall die!"
Swish!
A long blade pierced through the shield that Optimus Prime instinctively raised in front of himself, and the blade tip even went into his arm.
"Stubborn!"
Anger rarely appeared on Optimus Prime's face as he was stabbed in the left arm, and the metallic joints above the wound crackled, firmly trapping the long blade.
With all his might, he headbutted Sentinel Prime, who was now inches away, creating a violent collision.
Boom!
Above the heads of the two Autobot Leaders, fragments scattered everywhere.
Optimus Prime grunted, but Sentinel Prime fared even worse. His brain was suddenly struck, and his arm instinctively relaxed.
Optimus Prime, clearly recovering faster than him, swiftly raised his sword and swung it fiercely at Sentinel Prime's left shoulder, where he held the shield.
Swish!
Although the heavy sword encountered some resistance, it still completely severed one of Sentinel Prime's arms.
"You seek death!"
A massive influx of information feedback from his damaged body instantly restored Sentinel Prime from his brain injury.
He roared, first looking somewhat incredulously at his own arm, which had been severed and was still emitting electric sparks at the cut.
Then, Sentinel Prime angrily attempted to retrieve his weapon and strike at Optimus Prime once more.
Unfortunately, the metallic joints that split open on Optimus Prime's arm tightly clamped the long blade.
Sentinel Prime was decisive. After realizing that he couldn't immediately free himself from Optimus Prime, he promptly released the sword.
Seeing him preparing to summon the Universe Rust Gun, which had almost killed him earlier, Optimus Prime would not allow it.
He swiftly closed the distance and swung his heavy sword towards Sentinel Prime's arm.
Sentinel Prime's expression changed dramatically, and he quickly bent his arm to retract his hand.
"Optimus Prime, do you really want to fight me to the death..."
After all, he was a seasoned warrior. Despite his hatred for Optimus Prime at this moment, when he saw himself falling behind, his attitude began to soften.
But unfortunately, he faced a student who was already thoroughly disappointed and cold-hearted.
Boom!
Optimus Prime's shield smashed heavily onto Sentinel Prime's forehead, leaving dozens of cracks on his head.
Countless tiny fragments scattered everywhere.
Watching his former mentor fall, battered and stumbling to the ground.
Optimus Prime removed the long blade that was stuck in his shield and threw it far away.
"Teacher, give it up... Your actions will only make us Autobots lose more possibilities... and among these possibilities, there may be hope..."
"Hmph!"
Sentinel Prime glared at him with annoyance, feeling even more uneasy.
His student had grown too fast, even though not long ago, at the beginning of the battle, Optimus Prime was weaker than him and lacked experience in fighting Leader-level warriors.
But in such a short time, the thing Sentinel Prime feared most had happened.
Under the influence of the [Leadership Module], Optimus Prime's strength, speed, and all other aspects had been significantly enhanced.
It made him feel like the other had already reached the same level as him, or even surpassed him.
In terms of combat experience as well, from being crushed at the beginning, to struggling, and then being slightly disadvantaged, until completely gaining the upper hand.
Optimus Prime's rapid growth was something even Sentinel Prime had to admit he hadn't anticipated.
"More possibilities?"
Sentinel Prime suddenly looked up at the sky. "I'm afraid you won't live to see that day come... because there is only one possibility for Earth in the near future!"
Swish!
As if in response to him, a blue, water-like circular hole appeared in the sky over Cairo, and after reaching a certain size, it stopped expanding.
Above the circular hole, the layer of blue watery light became brighter and began to distort and show anomalies.
Optimus Prime followed his gaze and looked up at the sky.
Soon, his expression became extremely solemn.
"Teacher, are you playing with the lives of the Autobots?"
With Optimus Prime's vision, how could he not see that the circular hole in the sky was a portal?
These portals were obviously different from the one that directly connected the New Iron Fortress city to the Moon; they were long-distance teleportation devices.
And Sentinel Prime was most likely trying to teleport the Autobots from the distant Cybertron Satellite, which was light-years away from Earth.
During the Civil War, although the Autobots had used portals, the farthest distance they had teleported was only tens of thousands of kilometers, according to Earth's current units of measurement.
Optimus Prime couldn't fathom how Sentinel Prime intended to teleport the Autobots from several light-years away to Earth.
Sentinel Prime looked at him coldly, and Optimus Prime didn't take advantage of the situation to strike him down. Resolving the situation in one go would have been his greatest mistake.
But this was clearly advantageous to him and to Optimus Prime.
At least at this moment, Sentinel Prime knew that his young student and himself shared the same interests.
The blue watery circular hole in the sky began to ripple, as if something wanted to rush through from the other side of the portal.
Optimus Prime and Sentinel Prime waited patiently, looking up at the sky in silence.
They didn't have to wait too long. As the watery ripples on the circular hole in the sky intensified, a distorted light and shadow broke through the portal and fell from the sky.
