Chapter 012: Distortion

This was utterly ridiculous.

Minister John wanted to loudly mock Simmons, but he found that he simply couldn't laugh.

Just then, a staff member suddenly pushed open the office door. "Minister John."

"Can't you see I'm working?!" John, already furious, roared at the staff member who had opened the door, venting all his anger on him.

The staff member looked aggrieved but swallowed his displeasure and said, "You'd better come outside and see this."

Minister John quickly composed himself and asked, "What happened?"

"The aliens have contacted us."

Minister John was dumbfounded...

He left his office and went outside. In the spacious hall were hundreds of computers and even more staff, and on the large wall screen, a face filled the display.

Minister John quickly recognized the owner of that face.

It was the test subject from Sector 7... NBE1.

Of course, that was just an abbreviation. The full name was Non-Biological Extraterrestrial, translated as Extraterrestrial Non-Living Entity No. 1.

A mechanical life form from an unknown planet.

"Earth humans, greetings. I am the leader of Cybertron, Megatron!"

"I visited this planet thousands of years ago."

"My reason for coming to Earth is simple: to find our lost treasure, the AllSpark, which once resided in your secret base alongside me."

"The AllSpark is our treasure. Without it, we cannot continue our next generation."

"But the AllSpark was stolen by the evil Autobots."

"The Autobots, like us, come from Cybertron. They were once our comrades, but they are evil and cruel, powerful and skilled in disguise."

"We were deceived by their disguised faces. The Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, is a complete scoundrel. On Cybertron, he gained my trust, accessed the AllSpark, and while I was distracted, cast it into the stars. Without the AllSpark, we cannot continue our next generation."

"We were defeated and enslaved by the Autobots."

"Finally, I made up my mind to flee Cybertron and search for the AllSpark. Only the AllSpark can turn the tide and help us reclaim Cybertron."

"But the evil Autobots discovered this and refused to let us go. They tracked us down and ultimately succeeded in taking the AllSpark from your hands."

"Now, I, Megatron, formally request your assistance. Humans of Earth, kind humans, help us. Help us defeat the evil Optimus Prime and his minions."

In an instant, Megatron's face vanished from the screen, replaced by the faces of Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Bumblebee, Jazz, Ratchet, and Wang Bo.

"Perhaps you have already noticed that among them is a human face. He was once your compatriot, but now he has been seduced by Optimus Prime and become his minion."

"Kind humans, please help us. Help us defeat Optimus Prime and his evil minions, and save Cybertron. If you are willing to help us, we are willing to form an alliance with Earth, establish diplomatic relations, and share advanced science and technology with you."

Megatron deeply understood human greed. The idea of making the horse run without feeding it was impossible.

So he decided to offer humans a small incentive.

That way, these greedy humans would eagerly rush forward to tear that powerful human and Optimus Prime's group to shreds.

As for whether Optimus Prime would use the same tactic against him—

Megatron couldn't help but snicker. He knew Optimus Prime too well. Knowing humanity's warlike nature, Optimus would never offer them any weapon-related assistance.

So even if humans saw through his lie, there would still be plenty of humans willing to act against Optimus Prime's group for personal gain.

After all, in his view, humans were such greedy and short-sighted beings.

In fact, it wasn't just humans; most short-lived species were the same.

Their lifespans limited their vision. Few could see hundreds or even thousands of years ahead, and few could predict events centuries away.

Once greedy humans obtained certain benefits, they would become even greedier, frantically attacking Optimus Prime and that detestable human.

Then, he would be able to obtain the AllSpark and present it to his master... The Fallen!

My master, this time I will not disappoint you.

After his plea, Megatron withdrew from the network, but he left a contact method for the humans to reach him. And Megatron believed that these humans would definitely contact him.

...

"Check it! Find the source of this video!"

After watching the video, Minister John knew things had blown up and couldn't help but shout.

Soon, he received a report: this video had been received not only by his own country but also by France, the UK, Japan, Italy, Germany, and others.

In other words, every country in the world had received this message.

If they were even slightly slower, another country might contact NBE1 first and upgrade their weapons systems, leaving the United States behind.

To that end, John hastily convened a high-level meeting to discuss the matter in depth, emphasizing the danger posed by Wang Bo.

After all, they had already suffered a major loss.

All nuclear warheads had been destroyed, proving that this human was no ordinary one.

"Perhaps we can inform other countries about this person and let them deal with him. If he also destroys their nuclear warheads, we'll all be back on the same starting line," proposed a think tank member, suggesting a strategy of shifting the trouble elsewhere.

The plan received unanimous approval.

After careful planning, they secretly leaked information about Wang Bo's existence and location to other countries through covert channels.

In no time, major nations around the world learned of Wang Bo's existence.

Many who were unaware of Wang Bo's power were eager to act, thinking that while dealing with aliens might be difficult, dealing with a fellow Earthling would be easy.

Thus, over the next few hours, one agent after another entered the United States through various channels.

Meanwhile, the U.S. made a big show of arresting these agents who had entered the country, pretending they didn't want others interfering and wanted to claim the credit themselves.
