Chapter 471 Optimus Prime
After thirteen major cycles.
Iron Castle, 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 a podium arranged in a long arc, extending upward in a bowl shape. Each member of Parliament has a gavel, which he bangs when he needs to speak. The place was packed today, and Cybertronians of all shapes and appearances could be seen.
The mini King Kong was blocked from the outside, and he could only see the scene in the hall by constantly moving his position. The Combo was sitting in the back corner. Some people transformed and flew quickly around the parliament hall, some hung on the edge of the stands, and some were suspended above the parliament podium. The whole scene was busy and orderly.
The parliamentary army deployed pre-deformation and anti-deformation monitors in advance, and set up an isolation fence to isolate the members from those watching the debate and joining in the fun.
As a human being, Fu Qinghai could not enter the Iron Castle Supreme Council Hall to watch the hearing live, but he could sit at Orion Pax's desk and watch the live broadcast.
Orion Pax stood by the wall, exactly in the middle of the wall behind the parliamentary podium. The thirteen gates on the back wall represent the spiritual guidance and philosophical vision of the thirteen ancestors.
Today's host is Councilor Halo. According to the Titanium Master's description of Orion Pax, Councilor Halo is experienced and visionary. He is open to the abolition of the class system and is not opposed to the establishment of a freer system, such as that of the Original Ancestor. The kind of social state after the war.
"On the other hand," Master Titanium added, "there are some MPs who are very opposed to abolishing the class system because they don't favor anything that might change the status quo."
Orion Pax was very puzzled by this: "Why? If everything remains the same, we might never leave the Well of Fire."
"Why? What 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.
"That's right. You'll take it as a personal provocation, and that's how you and your gladiator friends will be viewed by the people in the council chambers. Keep that in mind."
This was the first time Orion Pax entered the parliament hall. As soon as he entered, he was shocked by the solemn atmosphere. Every outstanding figure in the history of Cybertron has expounded his ideals and argued for his beliefs here, and he is 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 Cybertronian society, and the High Council actually agreed to listen to their opinions.
The host banged his gavel.
Everyone hurriedly took their seats.
"We gather here."
Councilor Halo said loudly:
"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 would first and foremost condemn without reservation the violence that has occurred so far. Someone must Responsible for this, one of our goals today is to figure out who should be responsible for the violence..."
"In addition, the legal issues of the class system will also be discussed. The Supreme Council believes that the class system is valid and legal, and the Natural Enemy has continued it in a very cautious way. If he were here, he would definitely be able to speak personally, but now we are faced with A harsh reality: Some of us don’t want to discuss communication, but choose violence and terror.”
Councilor Halo showed some messages on the communication network, which could be seen from all angles in the hall.
"Defying Natural Enemy, the Council believes that you are still alive and in good condition. We call on the kidnappers who kidnapped you to propose conditions and release you, and voluntarily surrender to seek justice. No matter how much controversy there is, no illegal behavior will be allowed."
"Listen! Listen!"
A mini-King Kong councilman in the last row shouted loudly. His name is Bat-Elf. According to what Orion Pax knows, everyone in Cybertron knows that he is a corrupt person who only cares about the interests of the upper class. It is said that Bat-Elf does not believe in anything unless he accepts money.
Councilor Halo asked for silence.
"I hope that members of Congress will be careful about their words and actions."
He said seriously:
“How else can we ask our audience to be quiet?”
After a pause, he continued:
"It is said that the former gladiator named Megatron is responsible for the disappearance of the Predator. This is a very serious accusation and needs to be explained. There is also news that the search group and their commander Starscream are also Participated in Megatron’s brutal riot. There is a lot of information, so I won’t go into details.”
Councilor Halo paused:
"Ahem, in short, the situation is very complicated. Let's listen to the explanations of the parties involved. First of all, the Supreme Council now orders the Cybertronian Megatron of Karon City to come forward in accordance with the riot crimes, illegal imprisonment crimes and other punishment regulations."
A buzzing murmur echoed through the hall, and everyone present, including Orion, was looking for Megatron. Few people have seen him in person, but everyone has seen him in the communication network. Megatron walked out of the center aisle and stood on the witness stand at the parliamentary podium.
"I am here at the request of the Supreme Council."
Megatron said calmly.
All the members of the Council looked at him carefully.
"Are you Megatron? The mining worker in Caron City, and the so-called Gladiator Champion and King of Gladiators?"
Secretary-General Fei Yun asked.
He is a great seeker.
"I am."
"What's your basis for this name?"
"There is no basis for it. I came up with this name myself."
This answer aroused exclamation, some approval, some condemnation, and the exclamation spread throughout the audience. Councilor Halo knocked the gavel again, and the sound finally subsided.
Feiyun looked arrogantly at the noisy auditorium, and then continued to ask questions, his tone even more pointed:
"Did you know that everyone's name is given by the Well of Fire Source and cannot be obtained elsewhere."
"I've heard of the tradition," Megatron replied, "but I didn't know it was the only way to name someone."
"Let's not waste our time discussing how citizens choose names." Bat-Elf interjected, "Ask more interesting questions."
“Again, parliamentary order must be observed.”
Councilor Halo said.
The bat spirit nodded and said no more.
"Your statement before the Supreme Council must be true and complete." Fei Yun said.
"I promise," Megatron replied, "although I fear the full truth will displease members of the Conclave who demand obedience rather than equality."
Whispers erupted again in the auditorium. Councilor Halo knocked his gavel again to signal for silence. Flying Cloud once again stared at everyone who dared to look at him.
Cybertron's class system is over - if not over yet, it's in decline. Fu Qinghai silently watched the scene in the parliament hall. He could see this from the attitudes and expressions of the audience. He didn't know if the members had also seen it. If they started to plot against their respective Xiao Jiujiu, it would mean Megatron The changes proposed by Sky and Orion will be approved. If this is the case, then these people are likely to act on and rationalize the change.
Feiyun nodded toward the halo, signaling the witness to end the identification and oath stages and begin making statements.
"Initially, I didn't have a name,"
Megatron said calmly. He paused deliberately to draw everyone's attention. The entire hall was silent.
"None of us have names. We talk to each other through electronic signals deep in mining shafts and smelting plants. We identify each other by our different functions. We give each other nicknames. I am D-16 and this is mine. The mine area was numbered and I was doing demolition work at that location. I later saw my first game in the Arena."
Up to now, Megatron had been speaking calmly to the congressmen. Suddenly, he raised his arm and pointed at the Cybertronians on the second floor of the stands, and said loudly:
"It was there that I first learned that you never bothered to spend even a second thinking about the life of the lower class. The Cybertronians sitting on that floor, every one of them had seen More deaths than all the other people in this hall combined."
"Our lives are meaningless!"
He raised his voice and yelled the last words.
Councilor Halo banged his gavel as a reflex.
"Until!" Megatron's voice drowned out the sound of the hammer. "Until we decide to make life count. We, the underclass. We, all the workers who die in the mines and factories. We create what you think Everything is taken for granted. By fighting each other in the gladiatorial arenas of Slaughter City and Caron City, we realize that we are an independent individual. Why do we know that we are an independent individual?"
He waited a moment, letting everyone think.
The hall fell silent again, and the audience and councilors were waiting for Megatron to continue speaking.
“We are aware of ourselves as individuals because when we kill our opponents in gladiatorial combat and witness their death and realize that they are individuals, we know that we are individuals too. We understand life through killing, we It is an existence that can be discarded at any time - after a gladiator dies in battle, the body remains are thrown into the garbage dump, picked and sorted, and the good organ parts are sold to brokers."
"Although easily discarded, we find ourselves valuable. People pay to watch the gladiatorial games. Some people cheer us when we kill our opponents, and some people roar in anger when we are killed. . So if our lives have value, whether others agree or not, then we have the right to have a name."
Megatron finished speaking emotionally.
"That's why this happened, and why it's here today, and I stand before you. My friend Orion Pax, thank you for helping me get this opportunity and the time and energy you put into it. "
After this unexpected, slightly toned-down ending, or rather the unexpected mention of Orion Pax, Megatron fell silent, waiting for questions.
The problem came quickly.
"What does the terrorist bomb attack that happened a few orbital cycles ago, of all places, have to do with you?"
Fei Yun asked.
"I have nothing to do with these actions," Megatron replied. "These actions were purely motivated by emotion. I was also excited by it, but the difference between me and those who carried out the explosion is that I used my Emotions lead in the direction of 'I want to make Cybertron a better place.' I condemn any action that prevents Cybertron from entering a new and beautiful era."
Very smart answer.
Orion Pax thought.
He recalled his conversation with Megatron, when Megatron said that the existence of extremists could highlight his rationality. His words were proven here, and now he could speak before the Supreme Council and speak of individual worth. Representatives from various guilds sat in the front row of the stands and chatted quietly.
"Obviously, for your class, you are a special case," Feiyun cleverly bypassed the previous topic and said, "But even if you use rhetoric to cover up your enthusiasm for the explosion, don't you have any Are you responsible? If you are indeed in a leadership position, then you have the same responsibility as the Supreme Council and its members."
"What you should be worried about is what will happen if you don't take my leadership seriously."
Megatron's tone contained a hint of threat.
"We seem to have seen it."
Another voice said that it came from the "Driveline". He was one of the leaders of the Diggers. He belonged to the middle class and was responsible for daily construction and engineering construction. Due to his long working experience, he was gradually accepted by senior members of parliament who were engaged in science, art, politics, etc., and he was able to express some opinions.
"I would like to emphasize again that I have nothing to do with the serial bombings, nor do I have anything to do with the kidnappings in the Soaring Sky City Casino lobby."
Megatron firmly denied.
Orion Pax listened to this and didn't know for a moment 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."
The drive train sneered disdainfully:
"You want us to believe that a data recorder from the Iron Citadel Records Hall planned and carried out this attack and kidnapping, and also used a force calling itself the 'Decepticons'? And this force specifically claimed allegiance to you?"
"Decepticon?"
Megatron said calmly:
"What a fun name."
"Haha, the reason why I say that is because this is the name you came up with, am I right?"
Driveline demanded.
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 criss-crossed with silver.
"What I want to say is that you should not accuse me and my friend Orion Pax without any basis. It doesn't matter what others say to me. If the Decepticons want to submit to me, I am willing to accept it!" Megatron Staring at the drive train, he said coldly: "Sometimes deception is necessary, because the people who are supposed to hear the truth are unwilling to listen. They would rather force themselves to accept preconceived lies as facts and then accept them."
The whole parliament hall was noisy
Everyone expressed their opinions and became a mess.
"The Supreme Council has always refused to recognize that this is our right!" Megatron's shout covered the sound of the hammer of the Halo Councilor. "Every Cybertronian has the right to question the Supreme Council. When your actions When the standards set by the Council are not met, it is time for Cybertronians to demand change."
"What's the guild's opinion?"
Senator Halo said hoarsely.
"Guild representative Magic Talisman, please speak."
"Say it, Magic Talisman."
"The guild believes that these are the rights of each guild,"
Magic Talisman nodded to the guild leaders. The guild leader is responsible for managing each class and has full authority over the new Cybertronians who have just joined the class.
"For thousands of orbital cycles, since the disappearance of the Thirteen Primordials, the Guild has managed the work and life of Cybertronians. Without the Guild, there would be no Cybertron, no space bridge, no Hydra spaceport , there will be no Ironclad Dragon orbital station, no satellite base and Xianxiang-1, and there will be no iron castle building housing Xianxiang-1."
After speaking to the audience in the stands.
He turned to face the Council:
"A criminal kills countless innocent people by his own will. Such a killer will certainly not feel heartache when he destroys everything created by Yuanshi Tianzun. We must understand that it was Yuanshi Tianzun who created this planet, and it was Yuanshi Tianzun who made all The Bertans came into the world.”
The communications grid carried his words throughout the planet, as if the planet itself was listening.
"The Guild ensures that all Cybertronians live and work in peace and contentment. The Guild has established a large framework in which every Cybertronian can find a social role that suits them. If any criminal can easily subvert us, it will take us countless cycles The system that has been established, then I am worried about the future of civilization, and I am worried about Cybertron.”
A burst of approval swept through the entire hall. Senator Halo banged his gavel again, asking everyone to remain silent, and then raised his gavel and pointed it at Orion Pax.
"There's one more person to make a statement."
His voice was deep:
"Data recorder from the Iron Keep Record Hall, Orion Pax, do you have anything to say?"
"That's nonsense."
Orion Pax said as he left the quick-step wall, passed through the crowd and came to the bottom of the central podium, and the surrounding crowd automatically made way for him. He thought he could see some encouragement and support among the crowd, but all he saw was disgust on everyone's faces.
"You claim that the Guild has the right to decide the life of every Cybertronian." Orion Pax asked loudly, "Is this what the Thirteenth Primordial Ancestor expected? The Guild's power rose, the class system was determined, and Cybertron lost Is this just a coincidence? You have restricted each Cybertronian to a smaller and smaller space, and the space for development, prospect and action is getting smaller and smaller. You have created a world where no one knows how to look forward to the future, no one knows how to imagine.”
"I can just imagine the outcome of this meeting."
Bat-Elf said loudly.
There was a burst of laughter in the hall. Orion Pax looked around, fearing that he would miss some kindness in the audience... At this time he saw Jazz. Jazz was sitting in the center of the bottom stand, and the bright colors were very conspicuous. Jazz reached out and clenched his fist to cheer him up - hold on!
Orion Pax turned to the Council members.
He once considered giving a speech and even thought about the content of the speech seriously, but at this moment he didn't know how to start, so he could only say simply:
"My fellow Cybertronians and congressmen, please listen to me. Although what Megatron said is harsh, it is true. He has witnessed the tragic experiences of many lower-class Cybertronians, and the suffering of those people is really real. So common that it is ignored. If he feels anger, it is out of love, and this love comes from an ideal and the fire that regrets the destruction of an ideal."
"The recent attacks have been barbaric and inexcusable - but that's just the appearance. The unrest across Cybertron will not disappear just because the attacks are stopped, because it is a normal reaction of people who have been controlled for a long time. Due to the constraints of the guild and class , their potentially fervent expectations were not realized.”
"For Cybertronians, it is normal for us to be able to change from one form to another. Therefore, it should also be 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 unchanged.”
"Any Cybertronian is not a simple mechanical body or robot. From the smallest mini Kong to the powerful combined Kong, from the simplest and most basic processor to the scientists who teach us the laws of the universe, everyone contains The unique fire, it is the fire that defines 'who we are', not just 'what we are'. It is the fire that allows us to understand the infinite possibilities brought by freedom, it allows us to live for our ideals and allows us to choose own future.”
"In the distant past, at critical junctures, some Cybertronians stood up and became leaders to lead us through the crisis. For example, the natural enemy, who united all Cybertronians to fight against foreign threats. At that time, members of the Parliament , 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, they wanted to turn us into their property, they wanted to deprive us of our most basic The rights - the autonomy given to us by the source of fire. Did we drive away the Quintessence just to let the class and the guild enslave us? Sacrificing independence for the so-called order? I said, no!"
"All Cybertronians should unite again. We don't need leaders who treat the people as mechanical parts, leaders who treat the people as slaves, and leaders who treat stasis as peace. The guild president and the council members are in charge. Too much has led to the situation we are facing now. Cybertron needs new leaders in the fight for freedom, leaders who realize that all Cybertronians have autonomy and that everyone is their own master and their own destiny the master."
"I'll say it again."
"Every Cybertronian is independent!"
"I will remember this moment in the High Council Chambers, because it is at this moment that all Free Cybertronians will unite against those who would steal the beautiful power of the Fire from within us. From now on From now on, we are independent Cybertronians. If we want to give ourselves a new name, it will be called Autobots - we Autobots declare that once we are free, we will never tolerate oppression again."
He said the last sentence, and within seconds he quickly realized that he had made a good speech, because when he finished, the parliament hall was silent, and even those who were his enemies were thinking about what he said.
Orion Pax raised his fists.
Fenran raised his arms and shouted loudly:
"For Cybertron! Support the Autobots!"
Everyone also shouted: "Autobots!"
The sound drowned out the sound of the halo hitting the mallet.
"For autonomy! Support the Autobots!"
"Autobots! Autobots! Autobots!"
Those sitting at the top of the stands were Megatron's most loyal supporters, and they were also shouting, and the shouts spread throughout the hall.
This time, it took Councilor Halo almost an entire cycle to get everyone to quiet down. Orion Pax noticed something strange. He saw Megatron's eyes and originally expected him to express approval, but he found that the other person looked very angry. Orion Pax didn't know why. I thought: Achieving the goal is the most important thing. There is no need to ask us to do everything exactly the same every step of the way. Orion wondered if Megatron was angry about this.
…
Unlike the excitement of the Cybertronians.
Fu Qinghai was about to fall asleep after hearing this.
What freedom and autonomy.
Political concepts on Earth have evolved to social disciplines, economic schools, and gender recognition. Cybertronians are still reflecting on backward and outdated things like "freedom."
Moreover, based on the education he received since childhood and the historical outlook formed since childhood, Fu Qinghai actually does not support Orian - spending time arguing with the parliament? This kind of behavior is not only a waste of effort, but also a waste of the achievements of the revolution. Revolution is not a dinner party, revolution is bloodshed and sacrifice. Which vested interest group will willingly give up its interests?
"I shouted so many slogans..."
Fu Qinghai yawned:
"It's a waste of time."
The Supreme Council of Cybertron made him vaguely see the House of Commons and the House of Lords of Great Britain. The two houses of Parliament were bickering every day, and their rhetoric was as gorgeous and rich as that of Orion Pax. The Prime Minister was also replaced by If you change it, what problem will be solved? Politics requires speech, politics requires communication, but politics also requires practical work. The antonym of democracy is dictatorship, and the antonym of democracy is autocracy... But in fact, Fu Qinghai also believes that the antonym of democracy is efficiency.
There is democracy, but there is no efficiency.
It's always a dilemma.
Fu Qinghai dragged his cheek with one hand.
I thought: How about opening a bottle of wine.
"Pfft."
Fu Qinghai opened a bottle of beer.
…
"Orion Pax, and Megatron, whether you call your respective followers Autobots or Decepticons, there are obviously more questions at this point."
Senator Halo banged his gavel hard.
Finally the hall became quieter.
"Your actions so far have plunged this planet into a war. Especially Megatron." Halo pointed at Megatron with a gavel, "Whether you have instructed your Decepticons to kidnap natural enemies or not, the fact is that the Decepticons are It is true that the natural enemies have been kidnapped. This is the most critical issue. As for Orion Pax, it doesn't matter whether you and Megatron discuss worldviews or methodologies. What matters is your actions of Orion and his actions of Megatron. The same thing has led to these current crises.”
The words were harsh, but Orion Pax knew he had to accept them because they were the truth.
"Yes, Senator," he replied.
Councilor Halo seemed more satisfied with him—at least than with Megatron's unflattering silence.
"The issue of freedom has been put on hold for too long. We, this Council, must accept criticism in this area. Citizens of Cybertron, I stand before you to express my regret for failing to see that class Suppressed outrage perpetuated by the system.”
"It's time to look at our future!"
Councilor Halo said loudly:
“We have turned a blind eye for too long.”
Orion stood next to Megatron and listened carefully with him. They looked at each other, and Orion could see that Megatron was still angry, but also knew that the two of them had to join forces at this point. No matter what MPs say, this movement must continue.
And what the congressman said was, they won.
“Without leaders, our civilization must decline.”
Councilor Halo continued:
"The opinions put forward by the Supreme Council may have their own concerns, but in the end they are all decided by one person. This decision should have been made by Yu Tian Enemy, but he..."
"We don't know where the natural enemies are."
Magic Talisman answered.
Yes, the natural enemy is missing. The Supreme Council is arguing endlessly with its own opinions. Without the supreme leader to make a decision, the parliamentary discussion will never reach a result - Orion Pax suddenly remembered Qingshan's warning, that human warrior This trip to parliament was not optimistic from the beginning.
Orion looked at Megatron. 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 Seth. The institutions and systems of Bertan civilization were completely dismantled. Although Orion Pax also wants to pursue freedom, if there is no Cybertron, no Iron Castle, no Hydra Island or Sonic Canyon...
What's the use of freedom?
"Quiet!"
Councilor Halo ordered again:
"This is not the time for audience comment. The Supreme Council continues to speak and we must sort this out."
He paused to collect his emotions:
"In the absence of the Prime Minister, we must go through the Supreme Council process and first elect a representative."
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Megatron interrupted loudly:
"If, as you say, time is running out now, then don't give a pretentious speech. Let's hear what you really want to say and say it directly!"
Councilor Halo lowered his head and stared at Megatron with contempt and anger. From that look, Orion saw all the shortcomings of Cybertron, including the reasons that prompted him to want to change. Who cares about the process of the Supreme Council, who cares about the ceremony of the Halo Councilors, who cares about the sound of hammers in this hall and the noise in the auditorium, it doesn't matter, because in some underground venue, unknown workers are dying , maybe in Caron City, maybe in Slaughter City...
"Then I'll put it as simply and straightforwardly as possible."
Councilor 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 relaxed.
“There was an attempt to find a leadership module.”
The bat spirit stood nearby and interjected:
"We suspect it was the Decepticons."
"It seems that all crimes committed in the name of the Decepticons are ultimately driven by the search for the Leadership Module."
Fei Yun, Secretary General of the Parliament, said:
"Maybe Megatron or Orion is behind this. How do we know the truth?"
"Orian promises to have nothing to do with the Decepticons."
Councilor Halo said loudly:
"The Leadership Module is far more important than other relics left over from the Prime Era. It defines the entire society by determining the leader of Cybertron. This decision is irreversible and irreversible."
Councilor 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 proactively discover those who are inherently suitable to become leaders.”
"Those who went to look for it have found nothing so far. In other words, the leadership module does not want to be found."
Bat Elf added.
Halo, bat spirit, flying cloud.
The three of them started singing and echoing each other.
It's not like the bat spirit to treat legends seriously. He should only care about how to accept bribes, but why does he suddenly agree with what Councilman Halo said about the leadership module? Orion Pax was very confused. He felt that Megatron couldn't figure out the current direction of things.
Regardless of what others thought, Halo continued:
"The Supreme Council has realized that the events in various cities have been completely out of control, partly due to the lack of leaders, which also explains why many people are suddenly looking for leadership modules. But as we just said, the leadership module It won’t be found easily.”
Secretary-General Fei Yun stood next to Halo and said:
"However, everyone, fortunately, someone helped us find a breakthrough to solve this problem. We went to ask Master Titanium, the archives manager of the Iron Castle Data Recording Hall, and he told us some unknown things."
"continue."
Megatron said in a small voice. Only Orion Pax could hear him muttering.
What do they want?
Orion Pax did not understand the meaning of these scenes. That's right, the leadership module is missing. Many people are looking for it, and the whereabouts of the natural enemy are also unknown. But what does this have to do with issues of the class system? What does this have to do with the neglected individual free will of Cybertron?
Orion Pax has never been able to see through the Supreme Council, but he has always believed that these people should not be so hesitant and timid. They now look like they have been caught doing something wrong. Although they intend to make amends, they will never admit their mistakes.
Councilor Halo continued:
"The Leadership Module is indeed in Cybertron, but it has not been seen for millions of cycles. According to the Archivist, it will appear in the Troubled Times. Whoever finds the Leadership Module will lead Cybertron into a new era. "
After saying that, Councilor Halo pointed the hammer in his hand at Orion and Megatron.
"Yes."
Megatron said in a very small voice. Orion Pax even doubted whether he really heard it.
Councilor Halo said sternly:
"Orian Pax."
"We grant you leadership modules."
"puff--"
Fu Qinghai spit out a big gulp of beer.
The wine mixed with foam was sprinkled on the screen.
The entire hall was silent. When everyone was absolutely quiet, Orion Pax realized how noisy it was just now. It seemed that all the members and spectators in the parliament hall had stopped all functions, and time and space had frozen. The declaration of the Supreme Council was highlighted with great 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 Councilor Halo should say it again.
However, he didn't notice that Megatron standing next to him at this moment was as quiet as an abandoned city.
"Snapped!"
The members of the Supreme Council suddenly banged their gavels in unison to express their respects to him.
"Now, it's up to you to find the leadership module."
Councilor Halo's voice echoed in the hall.
Overshadowed the surprised comments in the audience.
"From this moment on."
"You, Orion Pax."
"You are Optimus Prime."
"You will unite the entire planet Cybertron and all Cybertronians, and lead everyone into the wonderful era you describe."
…
Fu Qinghai looked at the screen blankly.
He didn't even notice the wine sliding down the machine and onto the floor.
Optimus Prime...
Orion Pax is Optimus Prime.
So who am I?
I am Optimus Prime's teacher.
