Just like how Sun Cheng didn't notice the change in Sun Cheng's words, high above the sky, using a special device to project his image over the distance of more than 380,000 kilometers between Earth and the Moon, Starscream's face still had a brilliant, somewhat creepy smile as he watched Sun Cheng quietly.
On the other hand, Sun Cheng's expression remained calm as if nothing had happened, looking up at the sky and facing Starscream in silence.
Only the occasional flicker of blue light in his eyes revealed that the owner's heart was far from as calm as he appeared.
After gazing up and down for a while, Sun Cheng clearly saw a hint of surprise on Starscream's face, but he didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it as he revealed a playful smile and took the initiative to speak: "You really surprised me, little member of the Cassette Legion!"
Upon hearing this, a sudden flash of blue light appeared in Sun Cheng's eyes.
Obviously, this cunning conspirator had already guessed his identity even though he was far away on the Moon, relying on something that Sun Cheng didn't know when it was exposed. It's no wonder that Megatron, who was always stubborn and arrogant, admired this ambitious person so much.
"What a troublesome guy!"
Although he didn't expect to truly deceive Starscream, Sun Cheng felt a little heavy-hearted that the other party recognized him without even meeting him. The excitement he felt from his new mechanical body's power also dissipated in an instant.
After his eyes flickered slightly, Sun Cheng organized his thoughts and calmly replied: "I owe everything I have today to Your Excellency... thanks to you, I was able to lead Soundwave to Earth and then you kindly lifted the memory seal left by Soundwave for me. Thanks to you, I almost wasn't torn to pieces by Soundwave... However, thanks to you, I was able to meet Lord Onslaught. He sends his regards and asks if you are still satisfied with the previous gift?"
Since he had already been recognized, Sun Cheng naturally had no intention of hiding it.
Facing Starscream, a cunning conspirator like him, even the most exquisite lies were just jokes, because every word he said was likely to be a lie.
However, although Sun Cheng was somewhat wary of him, he was not entirely afraid. With his new mechanical body, he was bursting with confidence, and he held many cards that Starscream might not even be aware of. Therefore, he was confident that he could prevent the other party from taking action lightly.
"Onslaught is indeed a good card!"
The Core was running at a speed that had never been seen before, and at this moment, Sun Cheng's brain was seriously considering how to solve the trouble in front of him - he had been targeted by Starscream.
Starscream let out a sharp, grinding laugh that was like metal being polished.
"You have encountered a good master... Onslaught is also willing to invest in you."
After speaking, Starscream's face suddenly darkened, and his blood-red electronic eyes stared at Sun Cheng coldly and murderously. "Unfortunately, it's not going to happen... Frenzy, do you really think I won't dare to kill you? How about I start by cutting off one of your arms?"
"Just with your bunch of trash followers? Or is it Barricade?"
Sun Cheng immediately retorted without hesitation, his gnashing teeth occasionally flashing a cold light in the firelight. "... I heard Lord Fallen has been awakened. Will he allow you to leave the moon?"
As soon as he spoke, he saw Starscream's eyes on the projection above narrow sharply, looking at him with a murderous expression.
Seeing this, the heavy stone in Sun Cheng's heart was immediately lifted.
Sun Cheng was gambling. Although he knew little about the existence of Lord Fallen, he could guess that the ancient battle had seriously injured him, otherwise he would not have been sleeping on the moon until recently. Lord Fallen, as one of the Thirteen Primes, obviously could not tolerate anyone who dared to defy his position. Sun Cheng speculated that even though Lord Fallen could still suppress Starscream before fully recovering, he could not be completely confident. Lord Fallen must need some means to control Starscream, or to control the Decepticons by controlling Starscream.
Therefore, he speculated that Starscream might not be able to leave Lord Fallen's side temporarily and had to come to Earth to end him personally.
Clearly, even if he did not guess completely correctly, he was at least 70-80% right.
Knowing that he had won the bet, Sun Cheng immediately adjusted his attitude and no longer acted so aggressively. "You may not know this, but although the All Spark was broken in the Battle of Las Vegas, Onslaught has received its blessing. After he completes his evolution, he will have the power to fight against Megatron..."
What he needed was a period of stable development, not to completely provoke Starscream and end up with a fight to the death. After all, although Onslaught was a very useful card, he was also a wildcard.
Although Starscream's face was full of killing intent upon hearing this, his eyes kept flashing with red light, and he did not interrupt Sun Cheng.
Sun Cheng also tacitly did not stop talking. If the other party was willing to listen, it was a good sign, at least indicating that there was still a chance. So he continued, "Megatron is dead, and his corpse has been taken away by the humans... Onslaught believes that he did not simply die at the hands of humans and that he must be scheming something in secret... And that Lord Fallen on the moon, since he left such a heavy mark on Cybertron's history, why not become a part of history completely... Decepticons need a new leader, a true leader who can lead the Decepticon army to become even stronger... So, Starscream, let's make a deal..."
