Chapter 1496 Vegapunk is temporarily detained
Figaland Shamrock and Junzi were temporarily recruited to Egghead Island without receiving any notice and were just doing their own things.
Shamrock was keeping an eye on the battlefield in Marinford, while Junzi was resting in his room. Now the pair appeared together to help Saint Somaz clean up the mess.
As Shanks' brother, the coldness on his face had not yet faded, and Junzi's cold eyes were still fixed on the embarrassed Somaz Saint.
The smoke and residual energy that filled the research layer seemed to be temporarily solidified by the arrival of these two divine knights.
The next moment, before Saint Somaz could give any explanation, the light above his head suddenly dimmed.
It wasn't that the lights went out, but rather that the shadows of two huge monsters, like actual mountains, completely enveloped them with suffocating pressure.
The shadow was so huge that the space that had just stabilized seemed to groan under the weight.
Shamrock Sheng and Junzi looked up almost at the same time, and what came into their eyes were two extremely oppressive metal giants.
One was crimson and the other azure blue. The Knights of God had never seen robots of this style before.
They stood silently, the light from the sensors on their heads, like the gaze of an ancient behemoth, coldly focused on the two uninvited guests who had just been teleported in.
"Vegapunk's new toy"?
Shamrock sneered. He was filled with a desire to destroy any large-scale construction. He subconsciously regarded this as part of the defense force of Egghead Island. "It's built to be quite intimidating..."
But his words stopped abruptly, because he looked along the arm of the azure metal giant and saw an even more frightening scene.
In that huge metal hand, something was being casually grasped. It turned out to be the remains of half a pacifist.
Sparks crackled from the broken mechanical skeleton and circuits, and the alloy body that could not be blown apart by artillery fire was twisted and torn like a broken toy.
Although the surrounding research layer was damaged, the degree of damage was strange. It was not caused by a large-scale energy bombardment or indiscriminate destruction, but more like some kind of precise and violent physical breakthrough.
Junzi's voice was more solemn than usual, and he instantly pointed out the key point: "They are not Vegapunk's creations, these iron men are invaders."
"Iron Man Invasion", the contempt on Saint Shamrock's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a kind of excitement and vigilance of encountering unexpected prey.
He looked around, at the remains of the Pacifist held in the blue giant's hand, and then at the two metal giants in front of him, which exuded a primitive and violent aesthetic that was completely different from any technological creation on the island.
Saint Somaz's miserable appearance and his haste in using the brand to summon reinforcements finally had an explanation.
What they faced was not an internal rebellion or a Vegapunk uprising, but a terrifying existence from an unknown force that could directly destroy the pacifist forces.
The cold murderous intent and the fiery fighting spirit rose from Shamrock and Junzi at the same time, colliding fiercely with the terrifying pressure emitted by the two metal giants. The already tense space in the research layer seemed like it would explode completely at any time.
"Where is Vegapunk?"
Shamrock used his Observation Haki and began to wander around the research floor, but he didn't find any trace of the old man for a while.
Were Vegapunk and his clones killed by external enemies? Was it too late for Saint Somaz to use the summoning ritual?
Saint Somaz stood up, pointed at the crimson metal giant and said, "Vegapunk, his clones and other researchers are temporarily detained by him."
The situation moved forward a few minutes, and the two Transformers, with their highly sensitive sensors, captured deeper and more hidden fluctuations.
"High-energy life response detected, stealth mode, with unique biological markers," the electronic sound of the sound wave sounded, cold and precise.
"The matching database characteristics match the members of the Knights of God, identification: Saint Somaz"!
A highest-ranking guardian of the Celestial Dragons, lurking in the dark with unknown intentions.
Regardless of whether his target is Vegapunk or themselves, once a conflict breaks out, the first to bear the brunt will be these flesh and blood bodies who have no ability to protect themselves. These fragile humans cannot be left exposed.
"Frankie, use your body," Soundwave's prompt was extremely brief.
The red giant immediately understood that now was not the time to be particular about methods; protecting (or controlling) these key assets was the top priority.
He made a low metallic friction sound, and there was a crisp sound of mechanical transmission on his huge body.
Part of the crimson carriage structure fixed to his back and shoulder armor suddenly separated from the main body in a series of dazzling folding, contraction and reorganization!
The heavy metal parts quickly deformed with a clanging sound, not turning into weapons, but combining into a temporary, airtight cubic cage.
The railing is made of thick hydraulic rods with narrow gaps and a closed top, like a red metal box.
"Go in!" Franky's voice came through the external speakers, with an unmistakable metallic texture.
He did not give Vegapunk and his clones a chance to choose. The huge metal palm made a sound of wind, but it swept over them with extraordinary precision, covering the astonished Vegapunk, Shakya, Lilith, Pythagoras and several researchers!
"Hey, what are you doing!"
"open!"
The screams were drowned out by the roar of machinery. Like a group of light-weight dolls, they were "stuffed" into the red cube cage without any resistance.
The railing closed tightly with a "click", completely isolating the inside and the outside.
Then, Franky waved his arm and threw the temporary cage like a building block, accurately throwing it towards the huge punk record not far away.
The cage landed heavily on the relatively flat top of the punk record, making a dull thud and coming to a steady stop.
Through the gaps in the cage bars, Vegapunk and the others could overlook part of the ruins and see the two huge figures, but they had been completely isolated from the battlefield.
Some researchers were unwilling to give up and smashed their fists against the railings, or tried to cut them with a small laser pointer, but it was useless except for leaving a tiny scratch and the pain of the recoil.
This is the alloy of Transformers, and with their mortal bodies using Earth technology, there is no way they would be able to break it open in a short time even if they were given the tools.
After explaining the situation of Vegapunk and others, Saint Somaz finally revealed the purpose of the Transformers' trip, "Vegapunk has deceived all of us. He is secretly studying the theoretical model of the Anti-Life Equation, and these iron men must not be allowed to get it"!
Hearing the words "Anti-Life Equation", Shamrock's pupils shrank in shock. If the Celestial Dragons couldn't get the Anti-Life Equation, they would rather destroy it.
