Pam: Ah, Pam?
"Danheng: March... never mind, whatever makes you happy."
"Eriol: Alright, everyone, turn your eyes to me, I have something to announce."
"Qingque: This self-regulation ability is quite strong."
[Now playing: Coastal Ranger: Huh? I've become the villain?]
"Potio: Tsk, this title..."
The scene suddenly changes, revealing a gray, overcast sky.
The image paused briefly before rapidly panning downwards.
[Until two figures came into view.]
Beneath their feet lay a vast expanse of land severely polluted by industry.
"Have you figured it out?" one of the men, named Ize, asked his companion.
"Hmm, it's about the same as the intelligence report."
The other person's brows were furrowed, and his eyes held a hint of anger.
"Tell me the specifics."
[Ize also sensed his companion's anger and asked in a somewhat heavy tone.]
"I've studied the history of this planet. Hundreds of years ago, they were no different from normal civilizations."
[The companion named Riel let out a slight sigh of relief, then continued:]
"However, as civilization continued to develop, coupled with the inaction of the government at the time, the people faced increasing pressure to survive."
But hard work doesn't guarantee them a good life; the wealth they accumulate will return to certain upper classes in various forms.
During this period, several economic wars broke out, but... the results were unsatisfactory.
"So, how did this planet become like this?"
"After the war, the upper class continued to seize the wealth of the lower class, but cleverly prevented them from collapsing. As a result, they gradually became numb."
Subsequently, the gap between the rich and the poor widened, and in terms of power, technology, and even life, the poor and the rich were no longer equal.
"In the past, people here believed that if the rich were heartless, they could simply exchange their poor and lowly life for a rich and noble one, since they only had one life and anyone would die if they were stabbed."
But they were too naive. As the wealthy poured their riches into technology, they ultimately became powerful, and life ceased to be fair.
[Ize's expression also turned serious, and he asked gravely:]
【"What's wrong?"】
"The poor can be killed by a single bullet, while the rich are hard to kill even by a cannonball."
So now...
"This place is now hell for the poor; they want to rebel, but they've discovered there's absolutely no hope of winning."
"But interestingly, after they achieved complete dominance, their technological progress stagnated, and they haven't even entered the space age yet."
March 7th: This...
"Potio: These two are also brothers from the Sea Ranger, right? Come on, give me the coordinates, let's go together."
"Ize: I don't know."
"Rail: I'm checking, I'm checking."
"Come on, I'll take you to find someone to ask."
Seeing that Izzy remained silent, Riel realized that simply stating the facts might not fully capture the problems of this planet. So, he took Izzy to a factory and randomly asked a worker:
"Hey bro, do you like your job?"
The worker who was being pulled along said expressionlessly and without any emotion:
"I...like it, working 16 hours a day."
[Izzy was somewhat incredulous. When he heard Riel talk about it, he only felt sorry for the people here, but now, seeing the numbness in their bones with his own eyes, he felt horrified. So he asked:]
Why is it taking so long?
"Experts say that four hours of rest a day is enough, and there's no need for entertainment; that's a waste of time. Work makes me happy."
The worker only said this, but his eyes were dull and lifeless, showing no joy whatsoever.
Bai E: I...I simply can't believe it.
"Potio: Holy crap, don't let me find this place, or else..."
"Fireworks: Otherwise, the cowboy will have to spend all his savings to buy bullets~"
But just when everyone thought the story would end with the Sea Ranger saving the planet, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
Suddenly, an explosion rang out on screen, followed by a deep, resonant voice.
"I am Megatron, and I have come to rule you."
Chapter 136 666
"Optimus Prime: Megatron?"
"Potio: Alright, alright, everyone's here, right?"
Tibo: The people there are already pitiful enough... how could this happen...?
"Danheng: Megatron... I think I heard him in the recent interstellar peace broadcast..."
Toppa: Oh, right, I remember now, isn't this the Cybertronian leader who was just recently announced?
"Ize: I have these coordinates."
"Potio: Post this. I'm not going to the martial arts ceremony. I'm going to show that little cutie Megatron the consequences of invading others at will."
"Walter: Cybertron... How could this be?"
On the celestial ship Luofu, the cloud knights, who had relaxed, became vigilant again.
However, this time they were wary of Optimus Prime, who had just helped them deal with the Bu Liren.
Of course, this is just a precaution.
After all, a civilization has both good and bad people. They naturally wouldn't go too far before the other party showed any malice, especially since they had just helped them.
But Danheng looked at Jiang Lin with a complicated expression...
Jiang Lin noticed Dan Heng's complicated gaze as soon as he turned around, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, a clear conscience fears no accusation.
Moreover, even if Megatron and his group really did cause some problems that Jiang Lin couldn't ignore, it would at most be a matter of issuing an order.
Seeing that Jiang Lin didn't seem guilty or remorseful, Dan Heng breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But he still muttered to himself:
"I hope you won't stray into the dark side of expansion (aggression, colonization). Otherwise, I will do everything in my power to wake you up."
At this moment, a Cloud Knight soldier came to Yan Qing's side.
"Yanqing Xiaowei, we've just confirmed that the big android over there is indeed from Cybertron. Should we detain him temporarily?"
At this moment, Yan Qing couldn't help but turn his gaze to Jiang Lin. After all, he wasn't stupid and could easily guess that Cybertron and this Mr. Jiang Lin had a very close relationship.
In addition, there's the favor this person did for the league...
Jiang Lin gently shook his head at Yan Qing.
After seeing Jiang Lin's actions, Yan Qing hesitated for a moment before finally saying:
"No need. Luofu has no rules that restrict tourists' freedom just because their hometown has problems."
"But...that big guy looks quite strong, what if there really is a problem..."
The Cloud Rider still hesitated somewhat before speaking.
"Alright, I understand your concerns, but some things just can't be done. Go ahead."
Yanqing's attitude was firm.
The cavalry had no choice but to compromise, since their superior had already used an order, and as soldiers, they had to obey orders as their duty.
March 7th was completely oblivious to what had just happened, only looking at Welt, who was being stopped along with Optimus Prime, with a worried expression.
"Uncle Yang... will he be alright?"
On March 7th, she tentatively asked Star beside her, and then she saw Walter and Optimus Prime being released.
"That's great, Uncle Yang, you're alright."
"666, great prophet."
Xing was stunned for a moment, then looked at March 7 with admiration.
Is this what happens when a top prophet's prediction comes true the very next second...?
"Alas... the world shouldn't be like that..."
Sunday didn't pay much attention to these little incidents. After all, with Jiang Lin around, there wouldn't be any problems. No one knew Jiang Lin's abilities better than him.
All he cared about was the tragic world depicted in the live stream.
At that moment, Megatron appeared in the live stream...
Chapter 137 Master, I'm yours for life!
[In the scene, Megatron and his henchmen brazenly invade the area.]
"Leader, this is the largest factory in the vicinity."
[A slightly lower-ranking subordinate respectfully addressed Megatron.]
"Okay, you guys stay here and keep watch. I'll go in and talk to the humans inside. Don't let anyone disturb us."
Megatron nodded, then gave the order to his subordinates beside him.
