Transformers: Survival of Defective Products

Chapter 177 Deep Water

The vector-guided pulse cannon and Megatron's fusion cannon fired simultaneously, and two beams of light, one blue and one purple, tore through the boiling air in the seawater, heading straight for the Quintesson Judge's mutilated head.

The five-faced judge hastily retreated, while the remaining tentacles emitted white-yellow beams of light from below to intercept the artillery fire, and bubbles and white mist instantly rose from the sea.

She gripped his wing with one hand, holding onto the surrounding falling metal debris, which formed a temporary protective layer along their sides.

The fusion cannon charged up again, and her pulse cannon fired a second round.

Two barrages of artillery fire clashed, and cracks appeared in the first layer of protection that the Five-Faced Monster had just built.

"Bottom left," said Wei Zhentian.

Several shark-like vehicles surged diagonally upwards from the lower left of the undercurrent.

They swam through the water, their sharp edges barely making a sound as they skimmed the current.

The traction vector loosened his wing, and he plummeted for a moment under the influence of gravity and water pressure.

Immediately afterward, the Cybertronian assault ship folded up and skimmed past the swarm of shark demons. Magnetic attraction pulled onto a broken fragment, causing it to perform a near-physical reversal in the water.

The three shark demons missed their target and collided with each other.

The vector cuts back to human form, the double-edged sword spins open, and the blade, drawn by magnetic attraction, slashes back in an arc, cutting off the tail of the nearest shark demon.

Megatron swooped down and blasted the remaining two units to pieces with a single shot.

The five-faced judge is adjusting his position in the deep water. The curator, acting as a makeshift underwater signal tower, is constantly issuing instructions to the shark demon and others.

The prosecutor's red search line drifted in the seawater, adding to the danger. The eccentric activated the makeshift underwater device.

The crocodile spirits blended perfectly into the water, leaving only watermarks, while the shark spirits now swarmed in large numbers and moved swiftly.

The enemy's numbers were hidden in the shadows. Each artillery barrage illuminated only a small patch of the nearby sea before the shadows disappeared back into the bluish-black darkness.

The vector returned to Megatron's side, one hand gripping his outer armor, the other wielding a double-edged sword to sever the beam and search line.

A smiling voice suddenly rang out, and the sticky feeling underwater made her even more uncomfortable.

"You are nothing but intruders."

"They actually think they can take Aquitron by destroying a courthouse?"

Megatron's Fusion Cannon fired in response to the sound, and the Quintesson Judge quickly dodged. His mechanical tentacles swam fast in the water, like squid.

It launched a counterattack, sending several white and yellow beams of light crisscrossing towards it. Megatron dodged by circling around the beams, using the vectors to evade them.

Low-frequency cognitive interference was more pronounced in the water than in the courtroom, and the gravitational vector was still detectable despite being unaffected.

The sound waves were received from a distance, resulting in a slight delay in sound transmission.

"Low-frequency enhancement, interference underway."

BICk0 followed up: "Underwater propagation efficiency is higher than expected; we are responding. Please refrain from posting any comments during this time!"

Vector: "...I'm fighting seriously."

Tong Tianxiao's voice came through: "The home team is approaching, forty-two seconds."

The home team is still some distance away from them, and with this underwater front, forty-two seconds is enough for the Quintessons to rebuild some of their advantage.

"Keep the formation," Vector said. "Don't break up the formation to catch up."

Tongtianxiao: "Understood."

A short, sharp hissing sound came from 97's direction: "I'm almost there!"

Red Spider: "Your wing is still smoking."

97: "Tsk, I've wanted to say this for a long time, Red Spider, you should learn that keeping quiet is a virtue!"

-

The sharks finally closed in from all sides like a true hunting pack, with the front row closing in and the rear cutting off their escape route. Several others, using the wreckage as cover, silently circled around to the rear of Megatron's thrusters.

Megatron noticed this and naturally handed it over to the Graviton.

She flipped the entire machine backward, switched to assault boat mode in the water, accelerated briefly, and then suddenly transformed back into human form, gripping the double-edged sword in reverse, using the momentum to stab it into the head of a shark demon.

The wreckage was lifted by an unseen force field and slammed into the shark demons from both sides, forcing them to scatter and leaving a gap in the encirclement.

Megatron seized the opportunity and unleashed a fully charged Fusion Cannon.

The seawater was split open by the purple and white light, and a gaping hole was blasted out in the middle of the shark spirit group.

In an instant, the red search line rose from behind the empty band, as if it had been waiting for this moment.

The curator's chilling voice drifted across the sea: "Grab her."

The search lines converged toward the pull vector, and at the same time, the Quintesson's beam locked onto Megatron.

They began to divide the battlefield.

Water is their cover, wreckage is their battlefield, and shark demons and crocodile demons are their familiar weapons.

The attractor uses magnetic attraction to pull the nearest search lines, forcibly changing the convergence angle.

The retrieval line barely grazed her wrist nail, leaving a red mark.

Megatron took the beam of light head-on, and a patch of charred blackening appeared on his left wing.

"Megatron!"

"Don't worry about me."

His tone was cold and hard. He suddenly transformed back into human form, and the fusion cannon first shattered the search line that was trying to entangle the guiding vector.

The vector burst forth from the breach, the double-edged sword slicing through the water and striking the skeleton controlled by the curator.

The curator retreated, realizing they were trying to stall until the main team arrived, and sneered.

"You only have two machines."

The vector attack missed its mark, so he followed up with a pulse cannon shot.

You'll regret saying that.

Before the curator could respond, the water vibrated violently, and the deep echo drowned out the low frequency of the five-faced monster.

The sharks suddenly stopped moving, and the curator exclaimed in surprise.

"impossible!!"

In the darkness, the enormous shadow rose rapidly.

They rush in from the deep sea and the seabed, their backs sweeping across the undercurrents, their fin-like exoskeletons and the water swirling around their tails even swallowing sharks that didn't have time to react.

The largest Leviathan was the first to crash into the shark demon swarm, which immediately scattered.

The net woven from the search lines was torn apart by the water flow and the giant shadow, and the curator's control skeleton was deflected and exploded.

On the back armor of the largest Leviathan, Optimus Prime stood firmly.

The ion cannon had already fired, and the other arm transformed into an energy blade, blue light flashing along the blade's edge.

The aquamarine-like optical lens carries both compassion and unwavering resolve.

Optimus Prime's team arrived aboard Leviathan.

Jazz gripped the edge of his carapace, laughing so hard his goggles shook.

"Hahahaha! That's the coolest way to enter!"

The other two Autobots clung tightly to their back armor, neither having time to argue with him. Instead, Jazz turned around with a smile and said:

"Hurry up, friends! This is a limited-time experience!"

The deep-water battlefield was in complete chaos.

The Leviathans charged into the underwater locking array, their tail thrusters stirring up the undercurrents, scattering the sharks from their previously tight hunting group.

The five-faced judge was so angry he looked like a crazed octopus.

The curator, however, focused his attention on Optimus Prime and Jazz first.

"That's impossible!"

"We could still detect your signal before the courtroom collapsed."

It stared intently at Optimus Prime, Jazz, and the other two Autobots:

"You haven't left!"

In the shark spirit group, one of them suddenly laughed.

The "Shark Demon" bit through the red control line beside it, its tail whipping out and overturning two of its kind. The edges of its outer armor twisted like a shadow in the water, and the camouflage layer deformed from its serrated edges, back armor, and tail.

AZ stepped out from the group of shark demons and even politely raised his hand to greet them.

"You did detect them."

His smile was so innocent yet so irritating.

"It's just my version."

Just then, Tongtianxiao's home team finally approached the outer perimeter.

The Knight of Law hurled his shield at the enemy from the water, while Alita led her elite guards straight into the center. Arcee was swift, slaying several shark demons in just a few breaths.

The sonic mechanical tentacles locked onto some shark and crocodile demons, instantly releasing a small-scale electric current.

When Starscream and Nine-Seven entered the scene, Nine-Seven immediately spotted Optimus Prime standing on Leviathan.

"Vector! Chief Justice! I want to ride too!"

The vector also saw it and chuckled, "I haven't even ridden it yet."

Optimus Prime looked at her, and through the deep water, wreckage, firelight, and enemy hordes, he smiled and nodded gently at her.

The largest Leviathan, seeing this, swam past her, and Optimus Prime scooped her up and put her on its back.

The Leviathans finally spoke:

"This is Aquitron, the Leviathan."
