American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

The reason he was in such a hurry to leave was quite simple—it wasn't because a new dimensional beacon was about to be refreshed.

Instead, it's Yuri from the Red Alert world who is finally activating the time machine today to return to his original timeline.

Josie was in a hurry to get back and witness the impending "Yuri's Revenge."

"How's it going?" Josie asked Yuri as soon as she boarded the private jet, unable to wait to get home.

"...I have returned to my original era, but I don't know how to explain the current situation..." However, as the communication was opened, Yuri's expression on the other end was quite strange.

"What do you mean?" Josie looked completely bewildered. I was still waiting to see you take on the Allied forces and the Russians in a one-on-one battle, and you're telling me you don't know how to say it?

"Don't worry, it's like this. Normally, after I was banished to another dimension, the world I'm in should return to a state of bipolar confrontation, right?" Yuri waved his hand and said.

“That’s right. Although the two sides cooperated once when dealing with you, they still have to fight when the time comes!” Josie nodded in agreement.

"That's the problem. When I came back, I found that the actual situation was that both the Allies and the Russians were almost pushed to their doorsteps!" Yuri said with a rare shrug, no longer the aloof person he was before.

Clearly, returning to his own era and the misfortune of his old enemy put him in an exceptionally good mood.

But now it was Josie's turn to have a strange expression.

Both the Allied forces and the Soviet Union were driven to their doorsteps?

"The country you're talking about that was pushed to someone else's doorstep, it wouldn't be the Rising Sun Empire, would it?" Josie said with a smirk.

"Huh? How did you know?" Yuri was quite surprised to hear the name Josie mentioned, because this suddenly rising power was indeed the Rising Sun Empire.

How did I know that?

Good grief, buddy, you've time-traveled to the wrong time! You've gone straight from Red Alert 2 to Red Alert 3.

Now things are really messed up: the Allies, the Soviet Union, Yuri, and the Rising Sun.

But for Josie, this doesn't seem like a bad thing?

Although the Empire of the Rising Sun is despicable, it has a lot of good stuff!

Chapter 239 Red Spider's Operation

"That newly emerged power is indeed the Rising Sun Empire, and my reconnaissance forces have also discovered that the Rising Sun Empire possesses many advanced technologies, such as nanotechnology, shapeshifting technology, and energy technology. It can be said that in terms of conventional military technology, the Rising Sun Empire is a generation ahead of the Soviet Union and the Allied forces to a certain extent..." Yuri spoke eloquently on the other end of the trade communication.

"Did it cause you any trouble?" Josie asked casually.

"Trouble? Of course not. This level of technology is only good for bullying the Russians and their allies. Compared to the Cybertronian technology you gave me before, it's nothing... And speaking of which, many of the technologies of the Rising Sun Empire do have some similarities with Cybertronian technology."

Moreover, the first stronghold I chose after returning to this era was the moon. It can only be said that the Allies and the Soviet Union did not learn any lessons and made no progress in the development of the moon. It was easily occupied by me, and it won't be long before I can launch a full-scale attack.

Besides that, I discovered something very interesting! A rare smile appeared on Yuri's face.

It has to be said that his decision to postpone returning to the modern world was the right one. If he had returned rashly when he first met Josie and had just regained his strength, he might have really suffered some losses if he had encountered a situation like the Rising Sun Empire.

But now... nanotechnology, shapeshifting technology, energy technology—all of these are present in the Cybertronian technology that Josie obtained before, and their level of maturity is far beyond what the mere Rising Sun Empire can compare to.

Not to mention materials and energy.

Of course, this does not mean that the technology of the Rising Sun Empire was entirely useless.

On the contrary, because it is more "down-to-earth" than Cybertronian technology, it is more suitable for direct grafting and use, especially in Josie's era, or as a primary product supplied to some lower worlds.

"Oh? Tell me about it?" Josie asked cooperatively. Something that Yuri found interesting must not be simple.

“That’s the current three-way alliance. While their other technologies are more advanced than when I left, their nuclear energy industry seems to have vanished into thin air… Don’t you find that interesting?” Yuri explained.

It turns out to be this.

“Actually, I know the reason!” Josie said.

“Oh? Right, I forgot you know a lot about my universe… Tell me about it!” Yuriko was intrigued by Josie’s words.

"Who is the current leader of the Russian bear over there?" Josie didn't answer directly, but asked in return.

“A guy named Anatoly Chadanko… I’ve never heard of him before. I do know Kukov, the current Commander-in-Chief of the Soviet Union’s armed forces, but he was only a lieutenant general back then… and almost all the other politicians I’m familiar with have disappeared!” Yuri said, frowning.

"Actually, the reason is very simple. It's still the time machine's fault. After your defeat, the Soviet Union was also on the verge of disintegration due to the war. So this guy named Anatoly Chadanko used the time machine you left behind to go to 1927, erase Einstein's existence, and thus create a new timeline... And then, the world became what you see now!" Josie shrugged and explained.

After listening to Josie's explanation, Yuri fell into deep thought for a long time before letting out a long sigh: "So that's how it is. As expected, those who play with time will eventually be played by time... You're right, Josie, the time machine is a huge trap!"

The two had known each other for many years and had gone through countless transactions. Yuri had also given Josie the technology of the time machine. Although it was uncertain whether the time machine could still operate properly in different worlds, Josie had never even tried it.

This naturally piqued Yuri's curiosity.

But every time the topic came up, Josie would brush it off by saying she didn't need it.

Now, Yuri understood.

However, even though I understand it, I still use it when necessary.

Although he had arrived in an era that didn't belong to him, it was still a modern world, much better than the primitive era of the Cretaceous, right? Otherwise, relying solely on Josie to bring in people from other worlds would still be too slow for development.

"Speaking of which, you've only just taken over the moon and haven't attacked the three major powers yet, right?" Josie suddenly asked.

“That’s right, but if there are no surprises, based on the assessment, we’ll start with the Russians…you know why! What? You have other ideas?” Yuri nodded.

“No, that’s not it. I just want to remind you of something. The Rising Sun Empire also has a superhuman research project, and among their experimental subjects is a very powerful little girl named Yuriko. However, it’s not certain whether this is her real name or a code name. If it’s a code name…” Josie said.

"Yuriko?" Upon hearing this name, Yuri frowned. While Yuriko was a fairly common name in Japanese, her meaning in English was somewhat different.

Because Yuri is spelled Yuri in English.

In the past, many players of Red Alert 3 had speculated that the Rising Sun Empire was able to create such a terrifying war machine as Yuriko because it had obtained Yuri's genes!

However, this is just speculation, since the game developers have not offered any explanation.

However, Yuri can now verify the veracity of this hypothesis himself.

“That’s right, she’s also a psychic…and as far as I know, she’s incredibly powerful!” Josie emphasized again.

"...I understand, I'll go check it out!" Yuri nodded. A little girl with a similar name and abilities to him? Interesting.

As Yuri pondered this, he couldn't help but think of his daughter.

I wonder whose talent is stronger, Yuriko's or Libra's.

Libra Yuri is the name of Yuri's daughter. This name is a transliteration. If it were a translation, it would mean Libra!

As the conversation ended, Josie also cut off contact with Yuri. Yuri must be very busy now, and even though Josie was very interested in the development of that world, she couldn't keep bothering him.

However, he knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Rising Sun Empire would become Yuri's primary target.

Hmph, don't think I won't recognize you just because you changed your name, you little chicken feet! Just wait until Yuri feeds you a few big Ivans!

After ending his communication with Yuri, Josie checked the system notification; there were still 15 hours until the new dimensional beacon was generated.

Josie then shut down the system and began to rest and recuperate.

Just a few minutes later, the system notification sounded again.

When Josie opened the system, she saw that the communication was from Red Spider.

...Looks like this guy has arrived on Earth!

After establishing a trading relationship with Josie last year and completing the first transaction, Starscream did not rush to Earth as Josie had instructed. Instead, after upgrading himself with vibranium, he first launched an internal purge.

Having eliminated Shockwave and Soundwave, two threatening adversaries, he truly achieved domination over the remaining forces of Cybertron.

Soundwave wisely chose to submit during the Great Purge, while Shockwave and his pet, the Drill Demon, were killed by Starscream to establish their authority.

Of course, Starscream still has a Fallen sitting on his head right now, which is not something Starscream can deal with immediately, even if he upgrades himself with vibranium.

To deal with the Fallen, we'd need Starscream to get the Leadership Module before we even have a chance.

Fortunately, aside from urging the search for the AllSpark and the Matrix of Leadership, the Fallen doesn't directly interfere with Starscream's rule, so Starscream, the King of Cybertron and the Decepticon leader, is living a relatively comfortable life.

The actual time when Starscream led his people from Cybertron to Earth was three months ago.

Although Cybertron possesses faster-than-light engine technology, it's not as outrageous as some science fiction worlds; three months is already quite fast.

Furthermore, the Cybertronian universe is not like the Marvel universe, where advanced civilizations and space jump points are ubiquitous. As seen in Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain Marvel, even faster-than-light engines are considered high-tech in the Marvel universe. Most civilizations in the Marvel universe are able to travel quickly through the vast universe not because of faster-than-light engines, but because of a massive network of space jumps, also known as wormholes.

Therefore, compared to many science fiction worlds, space travel in the Marvel Universe can be considered a different approach.

When the communication was established, what Josie saw was not Starscream in human form, but an F-15 fighter jet.

This is clearly Starscream's vehicle form.

Even this form was provided by Josie before Starscream upgraded himself, and it can be considered Starscream's most classic skin among many Transformers works.

Behind him were fifteen fighter jets of various models, including F4 and F16.

Under normal circumstances, it is obviously unlikely that such a large number of different types of fighter jets would be flying together.

So these are undoubtedly Starscream's henchmen.

"Mr. Kahn, I'm on my way to Hoover Dam!" After the communication was connected, the voice of Starscream came from the fighter jet on the screen.

"Have you already confirmed it?" Josie asked.

In the movie, Megatron and the AllSpark were placed there before the dam was built.

To be precise, in the Transformers universe, Hoover Dam was built for Megatron and the AllSpark.

"Yes, the robot dog has already infiltrated the dam as an inside agent and met Megatron and the AllSpark. We can proceed with the next step of the transaction immediately!" Starscream's voice was filled with excitement.

If before he only agreed to Josie's conditions because of vibranium, and was only half-believing Josie's talk of the AllSpark, the Matrix of Leadership, and other items, now he completely believes in them and is incredibly excited.

He has even begun to dream of the day he becomes the king of the universe.
