Family System: Chapter 46

Megatron's "dream of domination" had awakened.

Looking at the invincible Vex, Megatron couldn't accept the stark contrast for a moment.

At this point, Vex pulled out half of the AllSpark and casually tossed it to Megatron.

Megatron caught the long-desired object, but there was no great joy in his expression.

Even if Cybertron was revived, with their current level of technology, when could they ever catch up to those otherworldly powers?

A flash of orange-red briefly flickered in Megatron's electronic eyes.

Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind!

He raised the AllSpark high and half-knelt before Vex.

"Megatron, leader of the Decepticons, swears eternal loyalty to you. Should there be any betrayal, I will personally execute the traitors!"

Vex smiled.

Although the Phoenix Force could modify one’s will, Vex, not yet fully adept with it, couldn't guarantee a permanent effect.

If he were too far away, the Phoenix Force would lose its influence.

And when that happened, Megatron would likely retaliate with twice the fury.

But if he could plant a seed in Megatron’s heart and water it with words...

Letting Megatron choose loyalty on his own would be the most stable path.

Megatron's dream of domination fit perfectly within the Transformers Universe, but in realms like Marvel or DC, it was laughable.

Using this to shatter his confidence, while planting a seed with the Phoenix Force, would allow for a smooth victory.

However...

Seeing that the system was still silent, Vex turned his gaze toward Optimus Prime.

Was it aiming for a complete conquest?

Compared to the difficult Megatron, Optimus Prime would be much easier to sway.

"Stand up," Vex commanded. "No matter what happens next, do not intervene."

"Yes, my king!" Megatron responded reverently.

Vex then lifted the stasis field.

The three energy beams, previously frozen, continued their trajectory.

Vex raised his hand to "catch" them, altering their vector direction until they swirled in his palm, forming a ball.

Then, with a powerful grip, he extinguished the devastating attack.

This display of strength further solidified Megatron's conviction that following Vex was undoubtedly the right choice.

Jazz and the others stood dumbfounded.

Blocking the attack was one thing, but to toy with it like that? That was a whole different level!

Especially...

Why was Megatron kneeling before Vex?

"Optimus Prime, if I’m not mistaken, the Autobots originally splintered off from the Decepticons, right?" Vex spoke slowly. "So the AllSpark only catalyzes Decepticons, correct?"

Optimus Prime nodded in silence.

As sharp as he was, he had already begun to suspect what Vex was about to do.

"As you can see, Megatron has already pledged his loyalty to me," Vex continued, turning his gaze to Megatron. "From now on, the Decepticons are forbidden from mindless slaughter. Our brutality will be reserved for external enemies, not our own."

Megatron hesitated...

But when he met Vex's piercing gaze, he shuddered!

—This wasn’t a negotiation; it was an order!

"Yes! I will restrain my forces!" Megatron lowered his head.

This response shook Optimus Prime and his team.

This was Megatron?

The one who had ruled over Cybertron?

What kind of joke was this?!

Vex didn’t use the Phoenix Force this time; he merely looked at Optimus Prime calmly.

"Now, you have two choices: lead the Autobots back into the Decepticons' fold, or... become my enemy."

He didn’t mention killing, but every word was filled with a message of submission or destruction.

The most terrifying part...

In the face of Vex, Optimus Prime had no desire to resist—there was no way he could win!

So...

"I only have one question," Optimus Prime said seriously. "If Megatron fails to restrain his forces and they resume their indiscriminate killing, what should we do then?"

"That’s simple," Vex smiled. "You will form a law enforcement unit. If anyone violates the orders, you have permission to execute them before reporting to me."

What the...

Megatron raised his head sharply!

Optimus Prime was a stickler for justice—there was no way he’d tolerate any wrongdoing!

If he hadn’t rebelled, he wouldn’t have formed the Autobots in the first place!

This left Megatron no choice—either change or die!

"If that’s the case... I’m willing to give it a try."

Optimus Prime knelt on one knee, offering his half of the AllSpark.

"I pledge my highest respects to my king. Optimus Prime, leading the Autobots, returns to the Decepticons to rebuild Cybertron’s former glory!"

With Optimus Prime kneeling, Jazz and the others had no choice but to follow suit.

""Return to the Decepticons, rebuild Cybertron’s former glory!""

With both leaders of the Transformers now loyal, the system finally responded.

【Congratulations, host, on obtaining the AllSpark, granting your family the ability to create an army of Transformers!】

【Congratulations, host, on gaining the loyalty of “Megatron” and “Optimus Prime,” bringing the first civilization under your family's banner!】

【Your family’s strength has grown significantly. Rewards are being calculated...】

【Congratulations, host, for receiving the reward 《......》】

Vex’s eyes widened gradually!

This reward? Unbelievable!

Vex looked at the two halves of the AllSpark in his hands and silently merged them together.

The two halves fused automatically.

"Alpha, can the warlike and violent nature of the Decepticons born from the AllSpark be modified?"

【Scanning in progress...】

【Analyzing...】

【Calculating the solution...】

【Calculation complete!】

【The optimal solution: using the ability "Phoenix Force" to modify emotional parameters, allowing free customization of the personalities of newly created Transformers!】

Oh?

The "Phoenix Force" truly lived up to its S-tier status—impressively powerful.

Vex closed his eyes as the Phoenix Force surged forth, flowing into the AllSpark

In his perception, most objects lacked "emotions."

But one blood-red dot stood out, and upon contact with the Phoenix Force, it revealed a "violent will."

Vex immediately erased the violence, replacing it with "loyalty."

As for their personalities...

"Alpha, implant an algorithm that ensures absolute loyalty to me, but with random personalities."

"Otherwise, if they all have the same personality template, that’d be too boring."

"Be sure to eliminate violent and murderous traits."

【Writing the algorithm...】

【Inserting the algorithm...】

【Insertion complete!】

With that done, the Phoenix Force retreated like the tide, flowing back into Vex's body.

Opening his eyes, Vex accessed the Gate of Babylon extracting three Telekinetic Floating Cannons.

He placed the AllSpark on one of them.

Visible electrical currents surged around the Floating Cannon, coursing over its surface before flowing back into the AllSpark

“Ka-chunk, ka-chunk—”

The Floating Cannon transformed with dazzling flair, turning into a Transformer over three meters tall, kneeling respectfully before Vex and offering the AllSpark

"Decepticon Cybertronian, offering my loyalty to my king!"

"Mmm, convert the other two as well," Vex said casually.

"Yes! Thank you, my king, for your grace!"
