Chapter 847 - Optimus Prime (2/2)

“But this isn’t enough yet, it’s not flashy enough… I remember we still have those 10 construction-use spiritual robots sent to us by the Truth Department somewhere in the System Preservation Area.” Sir System mumbled to himself, then, Fang Ning heard the ping of the system notification.

[The System consumed 10,000,000 experience points, using legendary carpenter skills, converting the Construction Mode Spiritual Robots into Combatant Mode Spiritual Robots.]

Then, right before Fang Ning’s eyes, appeared an Optimus Prime!

The classic red and blue stripes, the tall, sturdy build of the machine body, all appeared daunting to the eye.

“Uh, good taste, Sir System.” Fang Ning stared up at the gigantic automobile leader.

“I think it’s fine, I originally intended to go for Megatron but I thought better of it. I’m still a heroic system after all, how could I possibly associate myself with the nemesis?” Sir System explained.

“Well, technically, your thought process’s still a little too simple. Megatron was not just a saboteur, it had its own philosophy and dreams… Forget it, it might be better for children to just think of Optimus Prime as the good guy and Megatron as the bad guy.” Fang Ning was too lazy to give Sir System another lesson.

“I know you’re secretly insulting me again, but I’ve no time to deal with you right now. Now, let Lei Tian enter this Optimus Prime, he’s definitely big enough and flashy enough to capture the attention of Mars’ consciousness.” Sir System said proudly.

“Mmhm, I can totally believe that.” Fang Ning agreed entirely with the other on this matter.

…

The minute the Optimus Prime appeared in the sky above Mars, just as they had expected, the Earthen Dragon immediately rushed up to it and engaged in battle.

Just like in the past, it was killed, then resurrected, and the cycle continued.

Lei Tian appeared incredibly pleased with this kind of battle, as this meant that he would have an opponent

If the combat skill of Sir System was on par with that of the Gods, then the combat skill of Lei Tian was second only to that of the King of Angels.

Meanwhile, Sir System had transformed into a small Azure Dragon, barely the size of an earthworm, and successfully infiltrated into Mars without raising any suspicions.

“Impressive,” Fang Ning could not help but exclaimed, “You actually managed to get past Mars’ consciousness, this guy’s way too easy.”

“Hoho, what do you know, the Optimus Prime is my creation and shares my energy, that’s why the Mars’ consciousness didn’t suspect a thing, because it doesn’t rely on physical shape to distinguish objects, it relies on energy.” Sir System said, looking very pleased with himself.

“Oh, well now, that’s normal,” Fang Ning said disinterestedly, “You are almost three years its senior, it’s not surprising that you’re able to fool it.”

“…” Sir System had nothing to defend himself with, as it was the truth.

Had the Mars consciousness been any older and be more experienced, it would not have had its attention stolen away by Lei Tian that easily and neglected another threat.

At this time, the mini Azure Dragon had already landed on the desert. On the yellowish, brown sand, there were traces left behind by a massive object passing through.

“Just as I expected, this place is surrounded by a strange energy.” Sir System immediately discovered the source of the problem.

“What of kind energy?” Fang Ning asked curiously.

“Demonic, but very faint, if I wasn’t used to killing demons by now, I wouldn’t be able to identify it.”

“Looks like it’s the remains of the Lunar Devil you killed last time; a new species was born from its remains, that’s why there’s demonic energy. I think this demonic energy also forms the basis of their existence,” Fang Ning analyzed, “If that’s the case, they should be closely related to Mars’ consciousness, you just need to capture one of their worship leader of sorts and you’ll be able to establish contact with Mars’ consciousness, and from there locate its whereabouts.”

“You’ve finally made yourself useful.” Sir System said in a pleased tone.

“I don’t like those words of yours, I’ve always been very useful, alright?” Fang Ning responded unhappily.

“Hmmph, every time when it comes to battle, you’ve always fished around in muddled water, what contributions have you made?” Sir System refuted.

“Of course I’ve made myself useful, in every fight, when have I ever not given you moral support?” Fang Ning said with conviction.

“…”
