American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

Starscream, who had initially looked down on Josie, couldn't take his eyes off vibranium after just one glance at the brief description of vibranium in the message box.

Does such a bizarre metal really exist in this world?

Oh right, this human isn't from his world.

If I could use this kind of abnormal metal to modify myself...

Megatron, Shockwave, and Fallen are all trash!

You don't even need much; just coat your body with a layer of vibranium...

Just as Starscream was having impure thoughts, Josie took Vibranium from the trade box.

Red Spider's beautiful dream vanished with a snap.

At this moment, Red Spider really wanted to curse loudly and give Josie's relatives a good scolding.

However, although Red Spider is a prime example of someone who is all talk and no action, he is not without brains.

At this point, he realized that Josie was not just an ordinary Earthling, and that the interdimensional trading device was not as simple as he had thought.

So he managed to suppress the urge to curse, his electronic eyes flashing wildly, and his CPU running at breakneck speed, trying to figure out how to trick Josie out of some vibranium.

Money? That's unrealistic. With such a powerful metal and the ability to conduct interdimensional transactions, Red Spider doesn't believe that such a low-level substance could sway the other party.

Beauty?

Although Cybertronians also have genders, their physical structure dictates that they cannot be paired with humans—humans are possible, but they would have to be captured from Earth.

However, if the other party is not short of money, they are probably not short of beautiful women either.

Power?

Hmm... I wonder what the technological level of this human world is. If it's very low, we could try using some of the more basic Cybertronian technology.

"Alright, I know what you're thinking. Actually, it's very simple to get vibranium from me..." Seeing Starscream's hesitant look, Josie could guess what he was thinking and said leisurely.

“Hehe, esteemed sir, actually I’m a very kind person, and I love dealing with humans and making deals. Decepticons and humans are one family. We arrived on Earth a long, long time ago, and I love Earth culture. What I was doing just now was… um, practicing a play. Yes, that’s right, a play!” Starscream said, his eyes gleaming. “Not long ago, we even sent two ambassadors to Earth.”

Look, look.

What does it mean to be opportunistic and to lie through one's teeth?

That's it.

Without substantial content, one is a lowly crawler; with substantial content, one is a distinguished gentleman.

Josie estimated that among all the Transformers, there wasn't another one as shameless as this guy.

You actually like it when humans send ambassadors to Earth? I don't believe you for a second; they're more likely to send secret agents!

Josie thought to herself.

However, he didn't care about these things. What he cared about was how to extract enough benefits from Red Spider through the transaction.

"You don't need to use the same methods you used on Megatron and the Fallen on me, Starscream. My demands are simple: the entire Cybertronian technology system, the Space Bridge, Sentinel Prime, and—the Fallen and Megatron!" Josie stated her terms of the deal very straightforwardly.

When Josie stated her first condition—the full range of Cybertronian technology—Starscream's expression already became quite reserved.

The next two conditions were so shocking that Emperor Xingxiao's jaw almost dropped.

Is this human insane? He must be crazy!

Or does he think I'm stupid?

What kind of confidence would make this human think he would trade the entire Cybertronian technology for vibranium?

While vibranium is indeed amazing and has a high probability of enabling one to become the true ruler of Cybertron.

However, based on this alone, exchanging for the entire Cybertronian technology system is still an unequal trade. Only a madman would make such a losing deal.

The last two conditions that Josie mentioned almost made Starscream lose his composure.

Putting aside the Space Bridge technology and the value of Sentinel Prime, Fallen, and Megatron, the question is, what makes the other side think that they can trade these three as commodities?

"Oh, right, if you're willing, Shockwave, Drillmon, Soundwave, Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Bumblebee, and all the Transformers and their corpses are all available for trade with me. Of course, their value is definitely not as high as the first three." Just when Starscream thought Josie was a complete madman, Josie continued as if she didn't know anything.

"Human! I admit that the vibranium you possess is important to me, but that's no reason for you to treat me like a fool!" Starscream stared at Josie with his bloodshot electronic eyes and said in a cold voice.

If Josie hadn't been there, Starscream would definitely have taught this human a lesson.

"Tsk tsk tsk, don't be in such a hurry, I haven't finished yet, our incomparably noble Star Howl Emperor." Facing the Red Spider who was clearly furious to the extreme, Josie said without any panic.

"Heh... Very well, I'd like to hear what other reasons you can come up with!" Red Spider laughed angrily.

“Vibranium is just a basic trade. I could give it to you for free. What I’m really prepared to trade with you are other things. These things are enough to make you a true king, not just the king of Cybertron, but the king of the universe.” Josie said calmly, so calmly that Starscream even felt a bit of the pressure he felt when facing the Fallen.

"What is it?" Although Josie spoke with great certainty and her tone left Red Spider puzzled, he still asked instinctively.

"The Spark Source, the Leadership Module, the Scepter of the Celestial Being, and—Unicron!" Josie uttered four words, each one deliberate and precise, that nearly caused the Red Spider's CPU to short-circuit.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The AllSpark has been missing for tens of thousands of years. Megatron died searching for it and no one knows where he is. How could a human from another universe know its whereabouts? The so-called Celestial Being and Unicron are just legendary beings, all nonsense!" Starscream immediately retorted after Josie finished speaking.

"Heh, wasn't the Fallen a legend before his return?" Josie said nonchalantly, looking at Starscream's incredulous expression.

Putting aside Unicron, in terms of the history of Transformers, the Fallen existed long before Quintessa, the Celestial Being.

In the movies, the earliest Transformers were the seven original Transformers, including the Fallen.

Moreover, the first generation of Transformers, led by the seven original Transformers, did not actually have the ability to transform.

However, during the first Cybertronian Civil War in prehistoric times, the other six Protoss were defeated and killed by the Fallen, and the Fallen himself was banished to another dimension.

This resulted in Cybertron losing all its leaders at once, and the First Civil War ended thereafter.

And it was after this that the powerful Life Celestial Venerable Kuntasha appeared.

Although this thing appears to be a living being, it actually has no real relationship with Cybertron.

Her counterpart is actually the Quintesson from the comic book series, a real intruder.

She defeated Cybertron and enslaved the original Transformers.

At the same time, she also began to study the source of fire.

Furthermore, using the AllSpark as a blueprint, they created second-generation Transformers with transformation abilities, who were more suitable as "tools," namely the newer Transformers such as Optimus Prime and Megatron, which are more well-known.

However, during Quintessa's reign, Cybertron was exploited to the extreme, which quickly led to a shortage of energy resources on Cybertron.

Quintessa was naturally unwilling to do so. She knew that the original form of Cybertron was the super being Primordial Celestial, so to restore Cybertron's energy, it was necessary to use an equivalent energy source.

Without a doubt, this energy source is the Cosmic Emperor.

So she created another batch of Transformers, who, carrying her scepter, went to draw energy from the Earth—the twelve horsemen in Transformers 5.

What Quintessa didn't expect was that the Twelve Knights had betrayed them and gone into hiding on Earth. They remained hidden for tens of thousands of years before Merlin accidentally stumbled upon them and discovered them.

Quintessa originally intended to chase after Earth, but an even more embarrassing thing happened: due to the depletion of energy, the Decepticons and Autobots also betrayed her and successfully drove her out of Cybertron.

After Quintessa was driven out of Cybertron, the Autobots and Decepticons, led by Megatron and Sentinel Prime, began the well-known Second Civil War in their struggle for energy. This civil war also led to the disappearance of the AllSpark and the complete destruction of Cybertron.

It was during this period that The Fallen returned from the other dimension.

So even though the Fallen appeared earlier than Quintessa, it doesn't mean that Quintessa is older than the Fallen.

Chapter 227 Let’s dry out

"How do I know you're telling the truth?" After Josie recounted a series of secrets about his universe, Red Spider was excited, but as a schemer, he couldn't be easily fooled by Josie's words.

“Don’t rush, we can take it one step at a time. I’ll give you vibranium first, and you give me some of Cybertron’s general technology, like a faster-than-light engine… Then I’ll tell you the location of the AllSpark and Megatron. The AllSpark is yours, and Megatron is mine. Then we can talk about the next step… What do you think?” Josie said slowly.

“That makes perfect sense. I’ll have someone prepare the technical data right away.” Starscream thought about it and agreed that this was indeed a good approach. A step-by-step transaction would prevent him from suffering too much loss. He immediately waved to a henchman and ordered him to prepare the standard technology data that the Decepticons possessed.

He was currently in Skull Keep, the city of Kane that Megatron had built.

Although the largest and best-preserved city on Cybertron is Ironforge, the birthplace of the Cybertronian Council of Elders and later the capital of the Autobots.

However, Starscream still prefers Skull Castle, which represents power and terror.

It must be said that he and Megatron share a similar view on this point.

"By the way, you just said that you recently sent two people to Earth? Who were they? What were they there for?" Josie asked casually while Red Spider had his people prepare the technology.

"Oh, it's Bounce Ball and Smash. We recently received news that some of the defeated Decepticons have fled to Earth, so we sent two scouts to check the situation!" Starscream said without much thought.

Wait, a smash and bounce ball?

"You mean those two scouts didn't also take down an Autobot called Cliffjumper?" Josie asked, a smirk playing on her lips.

"Huh? You even know this?" Red Spider was very surprised again upon hearing Josie's words.

They are humans from another universe, yet they know so much about their own universe, even knowing the name of a dead grunt. This unfathomable feeling is even stronger than when facing the Fallen.

Of course, this only refers to the sense of mystery. The oppressive aura emanating from the powerful Fallen is something Josie doesn't possess, and even if it did, Starscream wouldn't be able to feel it across the universe.

I have to say, it feels pretty good to show off from across the universe.

However, Josie didn't feel much pleasure from showing off at this moment. Instead, she focused her attention on the information revealed by Red Spider.

Wow, bouncing ball, smashing, flying over the mountain.

It turns out the universe I've connected to isn't the original Transformers movie, but the prequel, Bumblebee.

Flying over the mountain, tsk, poor thing.

But that's not right. In the Bumblebee movie, when the Autobots were defeated and fled Cybertron, Starscream made an appearance, using his comic book counterpart, as did Shockwave and Soundwave.
