"As expected of Optimus Prime!" Anton said admiringly, looking at the behemoth in front of him, and somewhat understanding why none of the Autobots were dissatisfied with Optimus Prime. 

Even the sentinel prime who had betrayed the Autobots later regarded Optimus Prime as his successor. The Sentinel prime never thought that Optimus Prime was not a qualified leader.

The reason the Sentinel betrayed the Autobots was because he had long seen that the civil war would bring down Cybertron. He planned to end the war before the planet fell into dire straits or the resources were exhausted. 

Ending the war meant that one side would have to be completely defeated or eliminated. Both the Decepticons and the Autobots were powerful, and when they faced each other, ending the battle required one side to be disbanded.

In the eyes of the Sentinel prime, the right choice was to disintegrate one side from within. Thus, the ruthless defense strategy led to the betrayal of the Autobots, cooperating with the Decepticons. 

While the plan seemed cold, it was actually meant to end the civil war before Cybertron reached the brink of destruction.

However, a series of accidents occurred, and the "hero" of the Autobots became a tragic figure. The stage was still occupied by Optimus Prime and Megatron.

"Since the cooperation is reached, then when the time is right, I will take the Allspark away," Anton said calmly. "All we have to do now is wait."

"Wait?" Bumblebee asked, surprised. "Wait for what?"

"Wait for the Decepticons to discover the location of Megatron and the Allspark," Anton replied. "You don't understand American arrogance... Wait. After the Decepticons and the U.S. military fight, they will need us."

Washington. White House.

A few minutes earlier, under the leadership of cyborg, Keller and Tom reached the interior of the White House instantly through the teleportation device, causing chaos among the internal guards. 

The guard in the monitoring room saw someone suddenly appear and immediately notified the patrol guards to rush off with guns. When they met, they found it was an acquaintance: the Secretary of Defense.

There was also the person in charge of a confidential department, both of whom were regular visitors to the White House. Secretary of Defense John Keller didn't make a fuss. 

He simply spoke to Tom, the head of the sector 7. After the alien invasion in New York not long ago, Tom had stayed in the White House for an entire day and night on the second day of the incident.

The guards also saw cyborg with them. His shape and characteristics were too obvious. During this time, cyborg's reputation had followed Batman, especially his black face, which had almost been regarded as a symbol by the black community. 

Of course, the guard knew him.

"We want to see the President!" Keller said, not waiting for the guard to ask any questions. "Take us to the President."

"You guys?" The guard glanced at cyborg.

 "Don't count me in."

Cyborg waved his hand and looked at Keller and Tom. "I don't plan to participate in your conversation. Once you've made your decision, you can contact Batman again. You know how to find him."

"Okay," Keller responded, his eyes flashing, and he didn't say much more.

Seeing cyborg's action, Keller connected to the teleportation device and instantly disappeared in front of the guards.

"Hiss!" At this moment, the guards finally realized how the three of them had come to the White House.

"Teleport?" one of them whispered.

Keller and Tom soon met with the President.

"I heard you just moved here in an instant?" the President asked, quite curious. "Is it confirmed that it's teleportation technology?"

"It should be correct," Keller said. "Today, I traveled from New York to Los Angeles, then to Washington, and it only took a moment... It is still unclear where the Justice League moved the teleportation device, but Batman promised me that the Justice League is willing to cooperate with us. For all counter-terrorism actions, I think it is unnecessary for the time being to treat the Justice League as an imaginary enemy."

"The preparations that should be made are still necessary."

The president was noncommittal. "Go back to business. You suddenly came here, so you shouldn't be here to chat with me."

"Regarding the true identity of the alien NBE-ONE, and... we have actually discovered the figure of an alien on Earth," Tom spoke, his tone serious. "Mr. President, NBE-ONE is a huge threat!"

After a moment, the president finally understood what was going on. His face gradually became serious.

The president sternly said, "If things are as they say, then the threat of NBE-ONE should not be underestimated. Tom, you immediately go back to the Hoover Dam and increase military strength to ensure that the situation does not deteriorate further. As for what to do next, wait for my instructions. I need to find someone to discuss it with."

"Understood."

Tom hesitated for a moment and left the president's office without saying anything. Although, as the person in charge of the sector 7, he held considerable power and knew many secrets, when facing the president, his identity seemed insignificant.

Keller watched Tom leave, looked at the president in front of him, and hesitated. "Mr. President, NBE-ONE is a threat. I think it is necessary to destroy it."

"But do you know that from it, we have the first opportunity in technology!"

The president frowned and said solemnly, "Without it, the United States today would not be as strong as it is. Moreover, it represents the future... We cannot destroy it just because of a word from others."

"Mr. President, I have to say that the enemy is stronger than you think."

Keller fully understood what the president meant. He could only add, "If a group of NBE-ONE stood in front of you, you might take back that statement."

"No, you are wrong," the president said. "Don't forget, Keller, we still have the Allspark!"

Allspark!

Keller suddenly looked up at the president, seeming to realize something.

"Mr. President, are you hiding something from me?"

"This is confidential," the president said. "But when things have reached this point, it's okay to tell you—we have entered the experimental stage of the Allspark research you mentioned. It is indeed a rare treasure. Imagine if we can use it to transform machinery into mechanical warriors. We will be unmatched because of this mechanical army."

Coming out of the White House, Keller always felt that the situation was a bit beyond his control.

Whether it was the confidence of the president or the threat from aliens, he felt the current situation was a mess, unclear and chaotic. 

The Decepticons from the planet Cybertron were staring at Earth, and the Decepticon's old enemy, the Autobots, had simultaneously descended on Earth, preparing to prevent the Decepticons from occupying the Earth and conquering the universe.

On Earth, the U.S., which held Megatron and the Allspark, was full of confidence. Also on Earth, the Justice League, led by Batman, seemed inclined to cooperate with the Autobots. Keller thought for a moment, his mind racing.

At the same time, Anton, who had been observing the interior of the White House through the perspective of cyborg, sneered.
