Lockdown was silent for a moment and then said, "The price must go up."
Quintessa withdrew her gaze. "Deal."
"I need you to immediately lead your army and travel with me to Earth."
"Before he completes that unknown evil plan, eliminate them."
Quintessa flew towards the sky, and Lockdown followed without a word.
Above the sky of this dilapidated palace.
A huge spaceship, resembling an inverted round table, was suspended.
This was Lockdown's Knight Ship. Previously, it was the exclusive spaceship of the Ancient Cybertronian Knights, but after the Knights betrayed Quintessa and took the Staff of Merlin, this spaceship was seized by Lockdown and became his exclusive throne and Aerial Prison.
Quintessa originally wanted to first control Megatron, indirectly seize control of Cybertron, and command all Decepticon members. Then, she would manipulate Cybertron to travel to Earth and drain Earth's energy.
But now it seemed those damned Autobots and Decepticons had strayed from her predetermined plan.
As the two boarded the warship, the Knight Ship rapidly ascended, and quickly traveled toward Earth via a Space Wormhole.
At this very moment.
Before Aaron entered the Castle, Megatron and Optimus Prime arrived first.
"Creator, there is a situation on Cybertron."
Megatron hurriedly came before Aaron. "According to reports from our members remaining on Cybertron, an unknown transformer who calls herself the Prime of Life Quintessa took advantage of our main forces being absent and enslaved Cybertron."
"Now Cybertron has become her private domain, and our brothers have all been enslaved by her."
"But just now, Quintessa left with the Bounty Hunter Lockdown, destination unknown."
Another small, pink Autobot beside Optimus Prime said at this time, "Creator, we suspect she might be heading here. Perhaps we should prepare defenses."
Aaron looked at the Autobot who spoke.
Wasn't this the female Autobot he had just been thinking about?
Optimus Prime introduced them, "These are Arcee, Chromia, and Elita. Don't let their small size fool you, they are extremely powerful fighters."
The three looked at Aaron curiously.
After they received Optimus Prime's message, they had immediately rushed over from a nearby Star Domain. They were also very curious about this legendary creator.
Aaron scrutinized the three female transformers. He didn't know if it was the color, but honestly, they looked quite unique.
Hiss...
Aaron took a deep breath.
Was his inner fire growing again? Carly and Mikaela alone couldn't quench it?
Now even female robots looked so delicate and pretty.
No! This really won't do! They are robots!
Wait, robots should be able to take more punishment?
Wrong, damn me, what the hell am I thinking?!
Aaron abandoned the strange thoughts and smiled and nodded at the three female transformers.
"Welcome to the New Cybertron family."
Upon hearing this, The three's favorable impression of Aaron instantly increased greatly.
The legendary creator seemed easy to get along with.
They just didn't know if he was truly as miraculous as Optimus Prime claimed.
Aaron then instructed, "Have the Decepticons and Autobots prepare. Quintessa's target is Earth."
"I think she already knows our movements and is impatient to complete her plan."
"Plan?"
Optimus Prime was confused.
"She will claim to be the creator, demand your service, retrieve the Staff of Merlin, and sacrifice Earth to save Cybertron."
"Furthermore, she possesses a Data Invasion ability. As long as she hits your head, she can confuse your consciousness and make you her slave."
Aaron was not certain whether Quintessa was the real creator.
According to the original setting, Quintessa might be a Quintesson.
Quintessons once invaded Cybertron, altered history, and brainwashed the Cybertronians. They were only driven out later by the awakened Cybertronians.
In Transformers 5, Quintessa called herself the Prime of Life and prepared to use the Staff of Merlin to absorb Unicron's energy, thereby restoring Cybertron, acting as if she was dedicated to Cybertron.
But many of her actions were suspicious. Perhaps she was still an outsider, just like in the original setting.
Otherwise, the Cybertronian Knights would have no reason to betray Quintessa and denounce her as a liar.
As a dignified creator, she could only rely on the Staff of Merlin to save Cybertron?
From this perspective, it seems too unreliable.
Is this the dignity of a creator?
Aaron didn't care whether Quintessa was the creator or not. After all, since his appearance, there has only been one creator, and that is him.
Megatron and Optimus Prime exchanged glances upon hearing this.
They were not tempted. Instead, they were filled with rejection toward the so-called creator Quintessa.
If it had been before, Megatron might have considered Quintessa. His goal has always been to save Cybertron, even if it meant sacrificing the Sun or Earth.
But now, he had already determined in his heart that Aaron was the only creator.
Quintessa was heresy!
"Lord creator, I volunteer to lead the Autobots and execute that heretic." Optimus Prime immediately requested the mission.
Megatron reacted quickly and immediately said, "Me too."
Aaron waved his hand, interrupting the two competing individuals. "Enough. Let her come. I happen to want to meet her."
Seeing this, Optimus Prime and Megatron could only bow their heads in submission.
The three female transformers became even more curious. They hadn't expected that the mighty Megatron would be so obedient to a single person. This behavior did not match their understanding of Megatron.
Aaron then looked at the three female transformers. "Are you three one entity?"
Arcee nodded. "We were originally one entity, but we have now lost the ability to integrate together."
Aaron thought for a moment and then separated three clusters of light, merging them into the bodies of the three female transformers.
In an instant, their colors became more vibrant. Although their height hadn't changed, their internal armor structure underwent massive changes.
While strengthening them, Aaron also reinforced their modules.
The three, who were originally a trinity, now had their minds unified once again.
The three, in the middle of being strengthened, felt a certain stirring in their hearts. The three of them seemed to be connected by this power, achieving telepathy.
Subconsciously, they leaned together. As gears and chains meshed, the three human-sized transformers instantly combined into a medium-sized robot, four meters tall, mixed with pink, blue, purple, and some gold.
The entire body was made of a mix of Uru, Admantium and Vibranium, and faint mysterious runes covered the surface.
In her chest was a beating, blazing eternal core, like a red heart.
Her figure was actually quite slender, and her metallic face wasn't as uneven as typical transformers. Instead, it was a smooth, almost flawless face like that of a human woman.
If viewed from a distance, she would appear to be a beautiful girl with gigantism.
"My power... My goodness, I feel like I've become more than a hundred times stronger."
"Just the energy output power alone is a million times what it was before."
"And the total energy... immeasurable?!"
Arcee felt this invincible body, now imbued with infinite, eternal energy, and couldn't describe the sensation.
In any case, she felt she could crush the thirteen-meter tall Optimus Prime and Megatron with one hand.
Don't let her height, less than one-third of theirs, deceive you. Compared to other transformers, she looked a bit malnourished. But the energy contained within her body was enough to terrify any Transformer.
