Was there any choice in a mere basic attack?
Of course not.
Martina needed some time to adapt after merging with the Allspark.
Optimus Prime didn't even know how long this adaptation period would last; she was like an unstable battery during this time.
She could explode at any moment.
What would Martina do then? She could only stay by Lin Feng's side for the time being.
After all, in the Transformers universe, there was likely no one who could suppress, nor willing to suppress, an Allspark explosion.
The Transformers universe wasn't without its powerful beings, but where were they all hiding? Lin Feng certainly didn't know.
Furthermore, even if he found a powerful being, why would they help him suppress the Allspark? They were strangers.
The Allspark could destroy planets, but it couldn't destroy the universe.
Thus, there was only one path left for Martina: to return to Marvel with Lin Feng.
If she wanted Lin Feng to help suppress it in the Transformers world, he'd say, "Sorry, you can't afford the price!"
And if she stayed too long, would the Allspark even want to come back? ...Ahem...
Well, those who understand, understand.
After a few hours of tedious chatter with Optimus Prime, Martina's condition finally improved.
The previously volatile energy gradually became docile, no longer attacking Lin Feng's bio-force field.
Red Martina's skin color returned to human tones, though faint sparks of energy still danced on its surface like arcs of electricity.
But soon, the energy was completely absorbed into Martina's body.
Martina slowly opened her eyes, looking around with a hint of confusion.
"What… happened to me?"
"Ouch!"
Before she could finish speaking, a torrent of information flooded her brain.
Martina fell to the ground, plopping down.
"I… merged with the Allspark??"
Lin Feng didn't need to explain; the surging information stream answered Martina's doubts.
Information on how to use the Allspark, its origins, and even the energy supply for Transformers, all poured into her mind.
Martina stared blankly for a long while, struggling to accept the reality.
She didn't even know what to feel!
It was so sudden.
Suddenly, she knew she had a metal mother, and then she merged with her mother.
In the end, Martina also learned that she herself was the Allspark.
So, my mother is myself? Can you believe it?
What a scam! Martina felt like crying without tears.
She had always imagined that after she grew up and Earth became peaceful, she would embark on a journey to find her father and mother!
But now…
Seeing this, Lin Feng sighed.
Although the girl was stubborn, Lin Feng could tell that Martina craved family affection.
As an orphan himself, Lin Feng understood that feeling!
But he couldn't even solve his own problems, so how could he help Martina?
He could only step forward, pat Martina's shoulder, and comfort her, "Child… try to look on the bright side!"
"If that doesn't work, you can consider me your father from now on!"
Lin Feng meant every word.
This was purely out of sympathy for Martina, a fellow orphan!
Though he didn't have children yet, Lin Feng didn't mind experiencing fatherhood early.
These simple words struck Martina's young heart with a heavy blow!
Martina's small face contorted, and a large question mark appeared on her forehead.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How old are you!"
Martina retorted, a mix of amusement and disbelief in her voice.
Her somewhat melancholic mood was disrupted by Lin Feng's carefree statement.
"It's okay, don't worry about me! What's so bad about the Allspark!"
"I've become strong now! I'll protect Earth and the Autobots from now on!"
Martina clenched her small fists and declared with bravado.
Years of hardship had forged Martina's young heart into something resilient.
She had learned to empathize with others and accept reality.
Lin Feng looked at the red energy uncontrollably pulsing on her fist with a hint of regret.
What to do? Though he hated to, he had to temper her expectations…
"You probably won't be able to fulfill that wish, child…"
You can barely control yourself now, how can you help Earth and the Autobots!
If left to live on Earth, everyone might be buried with you…
After a lengthy explanation, Martina was in a daze.
She numbly sat into theToxic Gallon vehicle.
This wouldn't work, that wouldn't work.
Life… it's truly too hard. Why must I, a child, bear all this!!
Lin Feng shook his head and got into the driver's seat.
The Allspark had stabilized for now, and it was time for them to head back to Earth!
Optimus Prime produced a miniature device identical to Lin Feng's, and the group teleported back to Cybertron.
As for this planet in the alternate dimension, it was unlikely any life would visit it again.
Sitting in the car, Martina lowered her head, lost in thought about her predicament.
It happened too fast, way too fast!
In less than two days, Martina's fate had undergone a seismic shift!
Her days of constant tension and danger, yet with moments for respite, now seemed impossibly distant.
Martina felt the heavy burden of fate crash down upon her frail shoulders without mercy.
She was the Allspark, with no father or mother, her own mother.
The energy within her body also held the risk of an uncontrolled eruption.
For her own safety and that of others, she would now have to travel to other universes with Lin Feng, whom she didn't know very well…
The amount of information was overwhelming; Martina couldn't process it all at once!
But as Lin Feng had said.
Did she have any other choice? Absolutely not!
Poor Martina, a lamb of fate, was placed on the chopping block, unable to decide her own path!
Lin Feng sat leisurely in the car, quite pleased.
Although the process hadn't gone exactly as he'd planned, he had obtained the Allspark in the end.
His Transformer army could now be put on the agenda.
Next, he'd take a trip to the Time Variance Authority and assemble a team of six-gem Transformers.
Hmph, even Silver Superman couldn't help but feel a flicker of excitement.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but glance at Martina.
The previous Martina had been like a hyperactive child, constantly fidgeting.
Now, she was like a child with dementia, silently fiddling with her fingers while looking down.
It was clear the child was very anxious.
Lin Feng patted her shoulder.
"It's alright, we're just going to another universe!"
"Aren't you looking forward to it?"
Martina's index fingers on her lap unconsciously tapped against each other.
"I… I'm just worried about Uncle Raymon and Skynet…"
Initially, with newfound power, Martina had felt capable of helping them defeat Skynet.
They had lived under the threat of Skynet for years.
Martina knew firsthand the danger Skynet posed.
If Martina's life could bring peace to Earth, she wouldn't hesitate for a moment.
Fortunate like Lin Feng, Martina had excellent role models in her childhood, which led to her having a strong moral compass, a rare and valuable outcome.
