Chapter 462 Riddler Titanium Master
Iron Fort, also known as "Central Iron Fort".

The Records Hall of Iron Castle is not open to the public, and the desk of the data recorder Orion Pax is conventionally arranged next to the file shelf. This arrangement is also related to his social class.He has connected to the communication network, which is invisibly distributed throughout Cybertron. Orion Pax monitors and records every piece of communication in the network, listens to the communication content that has reached a certain standard, and classifies it , annotation, and then stored in a specific area in the data network.

The Hall of Records, like other buildings in the Iron Fort, is also made of golden alloy materials, presenting a curvilinear architectural style as a whole, which is popular throughout the city.The architects of the Iron Fort were fond of building tall, monumental buildings with conical spires that looked as if they were about to rise into the sky.This whole city exists to commemorate ideals and great aspirations... and now the Cybertronians have no aspirations.They are born into a fixed class, which will never change throughout their lives.

The citizens of Cybertron are currently living in a state of perfect stasis that has persisted for millennia.In a sense, the Iron Castle is the common ancient memory of the entire Cybertronian civilization—this memory no longer exists in the memory bank of the Cybertronians today.

Inside the Hall of Records, there is another stagnation state.From the age of mythology, the 13 Primordial Wars that lasted billions of cycles, to the latest network information monitored by Orion Pax - the history of Cybertron is all here.History is fully cataloged and indexed and cross-referenced.Unless the Supreme Council or some other authority has concerns about the order of the citizens, the ever-growing records in the Hall of Records are never cared for.

In the past, Orion Pax had read in the older records - that the Cybertronian civilization was in touch with civilizations on other planets, that Cybertronians visited other planets.Cybertronians on distant planets can also maintain contact with Cybertron through a network of space bridges built using lost ancient technology.Now that the space bridge is out of service, even Orion Pax, who is good at digging information from the Vision One and the data network, doesn't know how long the bridge has been abandoned.

Today, a Cybertronian like Orion Pax will not go to another planet, nor will he fight noble battles for the great ideals of the original ancestors.Orion Pax would monitor, evaluate, and classify the communications network, as a Cybertronian of his class should be doing.People from other classes are either engaged in construction work, or management work, or conducting trade, making laws... and maybe fighting in the arena.

Oddly enough, Orion Pax has recently picked up some interesting content from the communication network.

"We are all individuals!"

"We were once free Cybertronians!"

"We don't want classes! I want to break permissions!"

Megatron's voice pierced Orion Pax's head.God, he couldn't help thinking, what would other communication monitors think if they heard this communication?
They will report Zhentianzun within a nanosecond!
Surely they will report, Orion Pax thought.He became very interested in this gladiator, and immediately began to search for some clues about him in the communication network.Orion Pax quickly found a new communication message, just as he thought, the king of gladiators also had an expectation of the consequences of his words and deeds:

"If the Supreme Council could hear me now, it would silently melt me ​​into slag, no doubt. They are probably listening now. If I disappear, please continue my work. Soundwave, you and Shockwave Keep going. You are my most trusted lieutenants."

He has a team.

They are tandem!

Orion Pax analyzed.

Strictly speaking, investigation and analysis are not the job of Orion Pax, he is only responsible for monitoring, observing, and recording.Investigators come from other classes.But he could report directly to the archivist, and Orion Pax would take a sample of the sound and spend a few cycles completing a report.He must have a very good reason and sufficient evidence to prove this reason before he can meet Master Titanium.

Iron Keeper's archivist, Master Titan, was a man much older than Orion Pax, who was said to have existed since the days of space bridges, when Cybertronian civilization was at its peak.What would it be like to travel to other planets through a multi-dimensional cross-space-time bridge street...

"Orion Pax," said Master Titan, "why do you interrupt my work here?"

"I need some advice, Master Ti."

Orion activates Megatron's record.

Master Ti put down his antique stylus, which he used to write in the notebook on his desk.Iron Castle has databases and countless hard copy records of almost everything that has happened in Cybertron's history.But he still chooses stylus and notebook as his interface.Orion Pax knew that Master Tau, like many old Cybertronians, had grown eccentric.

The record was broadcast by the loudspeaker on the wall, and Master Titanium slowly put the stylus back on the table, thinking about how to answer.

Finally, the archivist pronounced the name:

"Zhen Tianzun."

"Why did he name himself after a mythical figure?" asked Orion Pax.

"If those legends are true, Zhen Tianzun has always believed that he is innocent." Master Tai said, "He firmly believes that what he has done is correct, even though what he has always believed in has been destroyed by his own actions gone."

"He's not a good example if you want to start a revolution," said Orion Pax.

Master Titanium gave a dry laugh.

Standing up tremblingly, he said:

"It's not. But maybe the Tiantianzun thing is not just a role model for him. Who is this pretentious person?"

"He is a gladiator in Karon City. At the beginning, he had no name like other workers—these workers all went to be gladiators in order to become famous. But he never lost, so his reputation grew. Others No one is willing to fight one-on-one with him. Now it seems that becoming the king of Karon's wrestling is no longer enough for him, and he has even greater ambitions."

Orion Pax explained.

"Ambition." Master Tai nodded and repeated, "But you also know that Cybertron does not respect ambition."

After speaking, Master Titan fell into silence.

Orion Pax guessed that he was probably trying to choose a suitable statement as the archivist, so he waited, and after a few cycles, Master Titanium said:

"Go back to your station, Orion Pax, and continue to monitor. You will report after you discover the plan of this Tiantianzun, and we will discuss follow-up actions at that time."

……

After the young Orion Pax left, only Master Ti was left in the depths of the Hall of Records. He thought about the situation before him.Master Titan admired Orion Pax very much. Few young people had such a keen intuition for what had just happened, let alone that it might not happen again.But Orion Pax had been listening in here the whole time, so it wasn't surprising that he'd noticed.

The Supreme Council should know that there was a gladiator who named himself Zhentianzun.But he wasn't sure which way to deal with it was the best, after all, since Master Tau and Royal Enemy had a fundamental disagreement about the governance of Cybertron, he was sent to the Iron Citadel by the head of the Supreme Council, strictly speaking these things How to deal with it is not up to him to comment.

"The Covenant, the Covenant."

Master Titanium whispered to himself:

"How much do we know about Zhen Tianzun?"

He flipped open the tome in iron paper in front of him.

The cover reads: Covenant of Cybertron.

When the aftermath of the Yuanzu War was not settled, he created this "Cybertron Covenant", which included the entire history of Cybertron and the people who were active in the history. It can even be traced back to the universe emperor and Yuanshi Tianzun.

Master Titanium quickly read the current timeline, which was written by him.But when he turned back, the content behind began to become obscure and vague. Not only were the words and sentences arranged in disorder, but the meaning of the rhetoric was also unclear. At the end, even the words became unfamiliar. The Covenant is no longer written in Cybertronian.

Master Titan wants to glimpse a fragment of the future.

See if there is some kind of answer in there.

Unfortunately, as expected, it failed again.

This is the norm, and the archivist is not discouraged.

"Perhaps...the time has not come yet."

Master Titanium said to himself.

…………

Karon City, the arena.

Megatron strode across the exit of the arena and into the labyrinth of abandoned tunnels beneath the factory with victorious attitude.This place was once used to mass-produce parts for semi-autonomous mining machines, and now most of the underground area of ​​the factory is used for gladiatorial leagues. Although it is illegal, it is lucrative.Both the gladiator machines and the Cybertronians are trained here and then restored.Dead Cybertronian gladiators are recycled as repair materials.

One orbital cycle ago, everything here was controlled by a criminal gangster who enslaved all the gladiators like a machine.

No one knows and no one cares. People in this class are born workers in Kalong City, and people in the upper class will not pay attention to them.As long as the ore is still being turned into finished products, the Supreme Council will never care that some of its compatriots are being enslaved in the smelting plant or refining workshop.

At this time, a secret talk is going on here.

Several big bosses of the Colosseum in Karon City, their respective armed bodyguards, Megatron and his small gang.

"You are the most powerful gladiator we have ever seen, with true immortality. But the audience is not satisfied with this. If you keep winning, the audience will get bored."

A big boss first praised Megatron.

He is responsible for singing red face.

Another boss took the lead and said:

"Your remarks today are very dangerous, do you know that? Although the Supreme Council turned a blind eye to the gladiatorial industries in Karon City and Slaughter City, it doesn't mean they are ignorant. Your rebellious remarks have already fermented and spread. , in the data network, thanks to our efforts to suppress this matter, otherwise you would have been arrested by now."

He is responsible for singing bad faces.

Megatron stood silent.

"We need other people to win as well."

The bosses said to Megatron:

"But they don't need to win every time, they just win once or twice, so we can manipulate the odds, you understand? Just do it the next time you play."

There is no meaning to discuss.

It is simply a command.

Megatron lifted his head slowly.

He had thought of this moment long before he had decided to deliver that speech.Should he succumb to the control of others, or fight to the death for himself?For a person, this moment may only come once in a lifetime.

Not even any one command.

Megatron jumped straight at the bodyguard.

A long-planned riot began.

……

Jazz is very headache now.

He knew very well that the alien gladiator was in the Karon City arena, but he couldn't do anything about it.

He's just a cultural investigator.Although he is a member of the official law enforcement personnel, he can understand with his feet that wrestling is an illegal business. However, the wrestling industry in Karon City and Slaughter City is still booming, which is almost open, which shows that the criminal groups here have no business at all. Putting the law in your eyes, there may be people from them in the Supreme Council, and you will not take him as a so-called investigator in your eyes, especially that "space warrior" has shown extraordinary gladiatorial strength , the arena bosses are even less likely to let him go.

But the Jazz are not one to give up easily.

He had promised Orion Pax.

To bring this alien race back to Iron Castle.

The Jazz was shuttling through the arena in Karon City, looking for an opportunity and a loophole, so that he could bypass the guards and approach the prison where the prisoners were held, so that the human warrior could be rescued.However, the security work of the criminal groups seems to be full of loopholes, but in reality, Jazz has not found a particularly good opportunity. On the contrary, he was almost exposed.

Just when the Jazz were at a loss.

Suddenly he discovered that the entire Karon City was in chaos!

All gladiatorial events have been suspended, and even mining work and smelting work have also been suspended. He witnessed with his own eyes that a large number of gladiator fighters rushed to the streets and started a violent fight. An extraordinary scale of riots and riots was going on, as if overnight, The whole city lost order.

The Jazz knew that the opportunity had come.

He first reported the riot to his department.

Then take this opportunity to rush to the prison quickly.

……

The Jazz have worked hard.

Finally arrived at the prisoner's place.

Half a mile below the arena, all the underground support structures, worker dormitories, material warehouses, and refining pipelines are intertwined, forming a complex maze.

Seeing the human warrior sitting quietly in the prison, he was still intact cross-legged on the ground, his eyes were slightly closed, and his breathing was calm, as if he was undergoing some kind of breath adjustment.

Jazz couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief:

"Huh, fortunately, you are still alive."

The human warrior gently opened his eyes:

"Hello, listen to your words, do we know each other?"

"We didn't know each other before."

Jazz's arm popped out of the blade's mouth and said at the same time:
"But I'm here for you, human, and I want to bring you back to Iron Fortress. Don't worry, friend, you've been free since you saw me, and you won't be..."

"crunch..."

With a little force from Jazz, the cell door was pushed open.

The cultural investigator was suddenly stunned.

"This door, why...could it be you?"

Jazz stuttered for a moment.

"Yes."

Fu Qinghai smiled and stood up:
"No one can imprison me. I stay here voluntarily. But I am also very interested in your proposal. I am happy to leave here with you and go to the so-called 'Iron Fort'."

What Fu Qinghai thought in his heart was:

Someone actually came to rescue me?

Has the big event of the plot line finally started!
