Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1293: Chapter 1292: Get Ready to Burn

The tattered Star-Spangled Banner lay scattered on the ground, corpses everywhere. Flames burned amidst the ruins of the city, and the White House had become a wasteland.

”Boom!!”

The enormous body of the Thunder Beast howled as it crashed into the Lincoln Memorial, roaring as it charged at the Decepticons on the opposite side. The Decepticons raised their weapons, launching round after round of attacks at the swarming Zerg. Whistling missiles plunged into the swarm, erupting in a series of explosions that blasted thousands of Jumping Bugs and Hydralisks into bloody fragments. Yet, at the same time, more of the swarm surged forward, breaking through the blockade.

They pounced on the Decepticons, tearing at the hard steel, ripping arms, limbs, weapons, heads, and everything else to pieces. A Decepticon raised its greatsword, stabbing it forcefully into the body of the Thunder Beast before it, but the next moment, a Flying Dragon descended from the sky, its foreclaw stretching out to slam it to the ground and biting off the Decepticon’s head in one swift motion.

At the same time, the energy source within the Decepticon abruptly radiated a dazzling radiance.

A colossal explosion, equivalent to three hundred nuclear warheads, shot into the sky, sweeping across the entirety of Washington, engulfing all life within it and turning it to ash in the flames. But the next moment, even before the dust and debris in the sky could fall, billions of Zerg swarmed once more, valiantly pushing forward, continuing their boundless assault on their enemies.

In the rear, the once-flourishing city had completely become a nest for the swarm. Insect eggs rolled out from The Hive, rapidly splitting apart, and the newly born Zerg, without a moment’s hesitation, charged once more onto the battlefield as if seasoned soldiers.

The entire city was thoroughly overrun by the dense swarm. Although some humans hid in shelters or sewers trying to escape the calamity, it was meaningless to the swarm. The Aliens patrolled the city in groups, killing every living thing they saw and using the corpses to spawn new Aliens.

Where the hell did these damned bugs come from?!

Sitting within his spaceship, observing the scene, Megatron’s expression was grim—though his metal face was always gloomy.

He had thought that after obtaining the Fire Seed Source, all problems would be solved. Their home would be saved, and the Decepticons would be rejuvenated. But... what the hell are these damned bugs?

They were definitely not creatures from Earth, but where did they come from? And why were they opposing them?

Megatron couldn’t understand it. He was certain Cybertron had never provoked such a race, but now the swarm was relentlessly attacking them, ignoring the humans, indicating it was clearly targeting them. But... what exactly are they?

”We must find a way to stop those damned bugs! Megatron!”

At this moment, another Transformer beside Megatron couldn’t help but speak, and hearing its voice, Megatron showed a hint of irritation.

”Of course, I understand, Master... but our current strength is still insufficient to completely eliminate those bugs...”

Megatron dared not speak the truth. In fact, he believed that not only could the Transformers not defeat the swarm, but they could also be defeated by it!

”They’re just bugs!”

However, the Fallen Transformers were clearly dissatisfied with Megatron’s response.

”No matter how many there are, they’re just bugs. I want you to lead the army personally and wipe them out completely! This planet belongs to us!”

But at that moment, suddenly, a voice rang out.

”No, this planet doesn’t belong to you.”

”Who is it?!”

Hearing the voice, both the Fallen Transformers and Megatron were shocked. They hurriedly stood up, looking ahead, only to discover that a human had somehow appeared on the open space before them. He wore silver armor and held two swords, one black, one white, one long, one short.

A human? How did he appear here?

”Optimus Prime is dead.”

However, Fang Zheng didn’t care about their thoughts. He simply raised the Pitch Black Greatsword in his hand, pointing it at Megatron and the Fallen Transformers before him.

”Next, it’s your turn. This planet is not a place for you, be it Autobots or Decepticons; I’m here to send you on your way... Are you ready for that world?”

”Die! You lowly human!!”

Before Fang Zheng could finish his words, Megatron had already raised his arm. With the mechanical click, a mechanical cannon rapidly formed on Megatron’s arm, and then his whole body trembled suddenly, firing a whistling shell straight at Fang Zheng.

Yet, as Megatron attacked, Fang Zheng’s figure had already flickered. Just as Megatron’s shell was launched, he saw a flash of a figure, and in the next moment, the Pitch Black Greatsword in Fang Zheng’s hand suddenly erupted with a brilliant red flame radiance, transforming into a fiery greatsword descending like cutting through butter, easily severing Megatron’s arm.

”You——!”

Before Megatron could react, Fang Zheng had already thrust a sword backward, piercing through the steel plate on Megatron’s chest and into its body. The next moment, flames erupted, instantly engulfing Megatron’s gigantic form.

”No... Ahhh!!”

With a scream, Megatron’s body began to melt under the burning of the Primordial Fire, its power source ruthlessly plundered and devoured. As Fang Zheng pulled out the Greatsword and landed on the ground, Megatron’s massive steel body had melted away like straw, collapsing weakly to the ground before disappearing without a trace.

Nothing remained except for some pitch-black ash.

”What on earth are you?!”

Witnessing this scene, the Fallen Transformers was also taken aback, quickly raising its right hand towards Fang Zheng. With the motion of the Fallen Transformers, various objects floated up under a mysterious force from all directions and were hurled towards Fang Zheng’s location.

However, facing the oncoming attack, Fang Zheng gripped the sword in his right hand while rapidly opening his left hand, quietly tracing a few mysterious runes in the air, then pointing forward.

A streak of green radiance appeared in a fan shape from Fang Zheng’s fingertips, sweeping forward. Everything covered by the green Magic Radiance instantly disintegrated and vanished.

This was the Cataclysmic Rupture Spell!

Simultaneously, the Magic Radiance around Fang Zheng flashed abruptly, and upon sensing the attack, the Chain Magic on him immediately activated. Hundreds and thousands of Magic Missiles streaked across the sky in brilliant trails of light, fiercely striking the Fallen Transformers, causing it to soar into the air from the immense impact before crashing heavily against the wall. Before it could land, the pitch-black Greatsword spun over, piercing through the Fallen Transformers’ head.

The next moment, flames erupted again, incinerating it to ashes in the blink of an eye.

”Easy and simple, dealt with.”

Watching the scene before him, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction. This was merely simple fodder after all—speaking of which, Fang Zheng had always been puzzled by how powerful the Transformers really were. In the past, comics seemed to describe the Transformers as invincible, capable of single-handedly challenging Reapers.

But here, in Fang Zheng’s view, the Transformers are just oversized, self-thinking, talking, shapeshifting iron frames, not even as strong as Gundams in terms of combat power.

Oh well, a little victory is a victory; at least it can burn.

With this thought, Fang Zheng shook his head. Then he once again gripped the pitch-black Greatsword in his hand, raised it high, and forcefully plunged it into the ground.

In the next moment, flames surged upwards.

If one were looking from the sky, they would see bright flames rapidly spreading in all directions, covering the entire North America within minutes. The solid ground burned under the blaze, crumbling like fragile tofu and sinking. The seawater roared along the coastline, merging with the flames, releasing white steam.

Soon after, a fiery spark shot upward like a lit fuse, piercing through the atmosphere and entering Cybertron, floating outside the Earth.

With another eruption of flames, people on Earth seemed to witness the birth of a second Sun. They gazed at the sky in awe, where the once steel-covered firmament was now entirely enveloped in raging flames.

But no one knew that at this time, another mysterious spaceship was slowly approaching Earth.

As this spaceship was about to reach Earth, Cybertron began to burn and explode. Upon seeing this, the spaceship abruptly halted, swiftly changing direction and disappearing into the endless void.

However, it was too late.

Just as the spaceship initiated its jump, a fiery spark sensed its prey like a wolf pack and pounced on it, closely following it into the depths of the dark universe.

”———————!!”

Who knows how much time passed, but a flicker of light burst in the dark depths of space.

Then, it disappeared again.

”Hmm?”

Fang Zheng withdrew the Longsword, looking inexplicably at the flame in his hand. Just now, he felt a surge of energy similar to that of the Transformers but even purer and older being absorbed by him...

Could it be that he accidentally burned something wrong again?
