Chapter 125 - Trust

Kang De knocked on the hood.

“Let’s talk.”

The Hummer, which was more than a circle larger than before, let out a buzzing sound. Amidst the clear mechanical sound, the hood suddenly separated and rose. The precise parts separated and riveted, transforming into a human form. His hands separated and pressed the ground. His body stood up. The shell of the car was reorganized and spread out like armor, and the Autobot was changing shape.

“…Wait!”

Kang De suddenly shouted.

The transformation stopped abruptly. The Hummer maintained this posture and froze on the spot.

“Change back!”

Without any doubt, with a mechanical sound, its body converged and turned into a Hummer.

Kang De took out his phone and turned on the camera mode. He took a few steps back and aimed at the car in front of him. He said, “You can change now!”

The car changed shape with a bang. Under the film of the high-definition camera, the parts of various sizes changed and combined perfectly and accurately. Accompanied by a metallic sound that made one’s heart tremble, the Autobot stood up upright, separated his arms, twisted his waist, and stretched his head. The car shell turned into armor, and the small parts were pieced together. This cold and precise beauty of steel shocked the mind. It was the art of order.

Perfect.

Kang De turned off the camera mode and gave the Autobot a thumbs-up. “You’re very stylish.”

The Autobot looked at Kang De with its purple electronic eyes and did not feel puzzled. He knew the use of the phone and understood what Kang De was doing.

He half-knelt on the ground and looked at Kang De. He said gently, “Are you going to show it to Old Wang?”

Kang De was stunned. “You know Old Wang?”

The Autobot nodded and said, “If Old Wang specially refers to the Earth girl you can’t forget, Father, that’s indeed the case. This is because be it forging me, driving me, or writing in the car and talking to yourself, the name you mentioned the most is Old Wang, also known as Wang Xiaoman. She’s your good friend.”

“I see.”

Kang De nodded. Then, he suddenly recalled something.

“…You have memories of everything before? Before you obtained life?”

The other party replied, “To be precise, after I was born and first came into contact with you, although I didn’t have any consciousness at that time, my body and metal have memories. I can recall them, Father.”

Kang De’s expression immediately became very subtle, “…All the memories?”

The Autobot was clearly extremely smart. After all, its thinking method came from a structure that was difficult for humans to understand. It said, “Yes, all my memories, including Father, when you lay in the back seat the night before and used your iPad to play the human [Beep—] videos and stimulate the [Beep—] organ with your right hand…”

“…Shut up!”

“Yes.”

Even with Kang De’s shamelessness, he was a little embarrassed to be publicly exposed.

He said sternly, “Forget about this!”

“Yes sir.”

The Autobot’s purple eyes flickered twice before it said, “The relevant memories have been erased.”

Kang De looked at it suspiciously, “…Are you sure? Have you forgotten?”

The Autobot tilted its head and said in a puzzled tone, “What do you mean, Father?”

“…”

Kang De looked around and did not see anything for the time being.

D*mn, this was either an honest child or a genius liar like him.

However, it did not matter.

He slowly exhaled.

That small matter was only a small detail.

Looking at the Transformer in front of him, he organized his words slightly and asked, “Where are you from? Cybertron? Are you an Autobot?”

“Cybertron? Father, I was born in that lifeless and silent place. It’s the place you brought me out. I think that that place is definitely not called Cybertron, and I’m not the kind of Autobot you remember. I was born in that desolate white fog and was given life by you. This is my origin.”

The mechanical lifeform close at hand replied seriously.

It sounded very serious.

Kang De was slightly relieved, then he muttered to himself, “But why did I succeed this time… Many previous attempts have failed… Why were you born?”

“This question is not something I can understand and comprehend after being born today.”

The new life pondered for a moment before saying, “However, if you let me guess the greatest difference between me and those failed works…”

It looked at Kang De and slowly said, “I was born from nothingness and chaos. I only have a cold and mechanical body. The power of spirituality that my father personally gave me made me feel light and heat, iron and fire. The mysterious power of the other world turned into runes and brands that swam in my body.”

“I walked in the new world with you and lived with you day and night. I listened to your lonely words and shared the emotions you expressed. In the end, my mechanical soul awakened and my spiritual power ignited the spiritual fire. You personally enlightened my wisdom. This is the process of my birth.”

It said seriously, “The previous failures might have lacked these.”

Kang De nodded slowly.

This was very easy to understand and was not much different from his guess.

—In other words, I’ll return to Earth and find the best doll shop to customize a super real and beautiful product from the shape of her face to her body. Moreover, I’ll enchant a number of things on her entire body. I’ll put on the Flame Spirit Concubine’s clothes and wig and treat her as my wife. I’ll hug her to eat, sleep, and chat every day. I’ll do it three times a day. After my feelings are in place, I’ll find an empty space, pour gasoline on it, and light a fire. I’ll pour white fog into her with the feeling that “if the enchantment doesn’t succeed, my wife will be burned to death” and obtain a wife?

Logically speaking, according to the deduced pattern, it was still very easy to succeed.

Probably.

However, he did not have the time to do such a shameless thing now… Moreover, it was really impossible to treat a physical doll as his wife wholeheartedly.

He threw out the messy thoughts in his mind.

“Then…”

Kang De looked at the magical life in front of him and said, “Originally, you had no intelligence and were only a transportation vehicle. However, now that you’ve obtained life, intelligence, and an independent will, I can’t treat you like before. Therefore, what are your plans for the future?”

The Autobot in front of him smiled—it indeed had a mouth and could smile.

“Father, I’m very happy that you can say that. I’m also very glad that I was created by you. My spirituality was awakened by you. My will is dotted with the light of your soul. I’ve inherited many things from you. Benevolence, decisiveness, respect, and caution, but that’s only Father’s impression of this world. If possible, I want to use my memories to shape my impression of this world and the rules of my own actions.”

“But before that, I hope to travel with Father. Just like how chicks shouldn’t leave the wings of their relatives too early, this world is mysterious and unknown, hiding hostility and malice that we don’t know about. I’m not confident that I can leave alone, and I don’t want Father to face malice like tonight alone.”

“Moreover…”

The Autobot said seriously, “The kindness of creating and enchanting has not been repaid, and I can’t think of any reason to part ways—this is my thought, Father.”

Kang De smiled and nodded. “But there’s another problem.”

“Please speak.”

The Earthling said, “You should know that I’m from another world. I have my own life. I came to this wilderness to fulfill a promise and a little personal grudge.”

“If I want to do something, it means that I have to take the initiative to interfere in a war. My friend’s country has been invaded by an enemy country and betrayed by the suzerain country. They’re fighting alone, so I definitely won’t sit back and do nothing. The enemy is an overlord-level power. The country is powerful and above the world. If I fight such an enemy, I have to use all methods and even lead an unimaginable slaughter. I don’t know what will happen in the future.”

Kang De said, “The path ahead will definitely be filled with death and blood. Are you fine?”

It was not surprising to have such a worry.

This was because Kang De still felt that this guy was a Transformer.

The Autobots were completely on the good side of order. They loved peace and protected the weak, especially Optimus Prime. He was simply a perfect, benevolent, and kind leader.

Although the movie version of Optimus Prime was very charming and indeed had the demeanor of a hero, loved peace, and respected every life, he had all kinds of patience for idiotic humans. He was simply a saint, but when fighting the Decepticons, he tore their faces and hearts apart without any pity. He was simply even more ferocious than the Decepticons.

However, overall, the Autobots had a very good impression of humans.

Therefore, Kang De was worried that he would definitely help Goethe fight the elves next and settle scores with the Eldest Prince. There would definitely be countless killings and deaths during this period. He had long been prepared—it was just that he did not know if this “Autobot” would have any objections.

It was better to make this clear as soon as possible.

He would not have any thoughts like “I created you, so you must be loyal to me. No matter what I do, you won’t object or have any objections”.

“About this…”

The Autobot said, “Father, I have to remind you again that I’m not related to the Autobot in your impression. My memories, will, and concepts originate from your spirituality. In other words, I basically don’t have a good impression of the humans of this world.”

“As for the worries you mentioned…”

It smiled again and looked at Kang De, its tone sincere, “Although I don’t know your plan or what you want to do, I’ll follow you and fight for you. I won’t be confused or puzzled.”

“If there’s a reason…”

The Autobot said, “Because I believe you won’t do the wrong thing.”

Kang De was stunned, then he smiled. “You’re very confident in me.”

The other party also smiled. “Of course, it’s always been like this.”

Therefore, Kang De stretched out his hand.

He held the huge steel hand.

“Welcome aboard,” he said. “Also, what’s your name?”

The Autobot smiled and said, “This is Father’s mission. Make me leave my mark in the world.”

Kang De scratched his head. “I’m not good at naming…”

The Autobot said indifferently, “The name is only a code. It’s not important what I’m called. What’s important is what I’ll do.”

“Then…”

Kang De suggested, “…Invincible Iron Bull?”
