After arriving above a tripod mecha standing in the streets of Washington, they directly dropped the bacterial bomb onto it.
When the bomb struck the thick fog, it dispersed into a cloud of fine mist.
In truth, everyone had doubts about whether bacteria could penetrate the force field shield and reach the interior.
But a few minutes later, reality proved that Martian technology was not advanced enough to isolate everything.
The tripod mecha, which had stood motionless like a statue, suddenly began to sway violently.
Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, the terrifying mecha lost control, collapsed, and detonated itself.
"It worked?!"
Everyone who witnessed the experiment went completely wild.
"Quick, hurry! Have all countries and all factories start producing bacterial bombs! Let these damn bastards witness the might of Earth!"
The United Nations mobilized immediately.
At this moment, the stronger a nation's industrial base and overall strength, the faster it was able to manufacture bacterial weapons.
As one tripod mecha after another was poisoned and incapacitated, the Martians could no longer remain calm.
They abandoned the terms they had agreed upon with the Cybertronians and launched their invasion of Earth ahead of schedule.
But it was already too late.
The tripod mecha began running frantically through the streets, desperately trying to evade the bacterial bombs.
When Shockwave learned that his "allies" were being massacred by Earth's forces and received their distress signals, he was utterly stunned.
Seriously… is this all you're capable of?
And you still dared to invade other planets?
Shockwave immediately reported the entire situation to The Fallen.
The Fallen was also left speechless.
These Martians, who had guaranteed they could conquer Earth, turned out to be nothing but flashy trash that accomplished nothing.
"My Master, should we assist our Martian allies?"
"Allies? We Cybertronians have no need for trash!"
The Fallen refused without hesitation.
"Shockwave, while everyone is distracted by this Martian garbage, go to New York immediately and seize the AllSpark."
"Yes, my Master!"
Shockwave immediately led the Decepticons to depart.
Luke had originally been preparing to head to the Antarctic continent to clean up the situation.
Instead, Ada Wong sent him another video link.
Luke tapped it open and saw—A gigantic monster, roughly ninety meters tall with an axe-shaped head, emerging from the coastline of San Francisco.
It immediately collided with a tripod mecha that was desperately fleeing toward the shore.
After a fierce battle between the two, the gigantic monster, at the cost of losing a small portion of its body and with the added effect of bacterial and viral bombs, completely annihilated the tripod mecha.
Then the monster rushed off to pick a fight with another tripod mecha.
Below the link, a crowd of onlookers was cheering wildly for the monster.
Some even hailed it as the guardian beast of the United States, the protector of Earth.
Seeing this, Thor couldn't help but exclaim, "So Earth also has righteous monsters protecting it."
Luke's mouth twitched slightly. "Protecting? I think it's just protecting its food."
Good grief—the Precursors from Pacific Rim had come to Earth to compete with the Martians for territory.
Fight, fight!
You all fight it out first, and whoever wins gets the right to invade Earth.
In an extremely short amount of time, the biological behemoth dispatched by the Precursors had already destroyed three tripod mecha.
It had also sustained heavy damage itself.
Eerie blue blood flowed from part of its body, gushing out like a fully opened faucet.
Yet even so, the monster paid it no mind and single-mindedly continued to hunt down the tripod mecha.
Moreover, during its rampage, the behemoth destroyed human buildings along its path, casually killing at least hundreds of people.
At this point, anyone with eyes could see that something was wrong.
This was no guardian beast. It was clearly another enemy.
Its presence in fighting the Martians was nothing more than a dog-eat-dog conflict, not an act of protecting humanity.
And what was even more despairing was that
the monster's blood appeared to contain some kind of special chemical agent.
It was highly toxic and corrosive.
It could decompose most materials, making it extremely difficult for humans to collect or study.
Once its blood dripped onto the ground, its extreme volatility caused irreversible environmental damage.
Vegetation was destroyed, and the affected areas were no longer suitable for plant growth.
If humans inhaled the surrounding air, it would cause lesions in their respiratory tracts and lungs.
These were only the abnormalities discovered in a short period of time. No one knew whether the monster's blood possessed even more terrifying properties.
Seeing this, the military simultaneously continued deploying bacterial and viral bombs against the tripod mecha while dispatching fighter jets and armed helicopters to attack the behemoth.
However, the conventional weapons currently available to humanity were simply incapable of causing it meaningful harm.
Unless they struck its existing wounds—but doing so would only cause the monster to bleed even more toxic blood.
For a time, there was no choice but to let the monster and the tripod mecha fight each other, allowing them to wear each other down in a brutal dog-eat-dog struggle.
Seeing this, Thor immediately understood the deeper meaning behind Luke's earlier words.
"More invaders?"
"Midgard is far more dangerous than I imagined…"
Thor had to admit that Luke had been absolutely right.
He also found himself increasingly regretting the destruction of the Bifrost Bridge.
If the Bifrost Bridge were still intact, Asgard could have dispatched a large army to deal with these invaders.
But now, it was clear that these alien forces had calculated Asgard's inability to reinforce Earth. After the initial probing by the Transformers, they swarmed in without restraint.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—!!
Accompanied by the roar of armed helicopter rotors, a heroic, sharp-looking woman descended rapidly along a rope. Just before touching the ground, she released the rope, flipped lightly, and landed precisely not far from Luke and Thor.
When Thor saw her, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Buddy, I saw this woman first. Don't even think about competing with me."
"Of course," Luke replied with a smile. "I wish you a pleasant date."
Luke smiled faintly and glanced at his 3D stereoscopic view.
Two large red dots stood out with extreme clarity.
One was the woman standing in front of him.
The other was the armed helicopter hovering overhead.
If someone were observing from a higher vantage point, they would discover something even stranger—the helicopter currently had no pilot at all.
[Anomalous objects detected: Surfboard and Alice. Gained 200 Anomaly Points. Current Anomaly Points: 700 / 3,600]
Yes, the woman standing before him was Alice, a Decepticon spy robot.
Her prototype was a mechanical leopard. In Transformers 2, she transformed into Sam's senior, Alice, and deliberately approached him in an attempt to lure and kill Sam.
Sam had nearly met an early end.
This thing looked like a hybrid of a Terminator and an Alien. Luke even suspected that the Cybertronians might have had dealings with Xenomorphs before.
"Hello, Mr. Luke Rowling. I'm Alice. The Secretary of Defense has specifically asked me to pick you up for an emergency meeting."
The glamorous and composed Alice smoothly ignored Thor and stepped directly in front of Luke.
As she extended her hand, she bent forward slightly, making her curves even more eye-catching.
Luke reached out and shook her hand. He had to admit that Cybertron's artificial skin technology was astonishing.
The texture… the temperature… it was virtually indistinguishable from that of a real human.
It was genuinely difficult to tell the difference.
Thor walked over, preparing to greet Alice as well.
However, right in front of Thor's wide-open eyes, Luke suddenly reached out and grabbed her chest.
"No—wait! I didn't know Midgardians were so… uninhibited? Quick, tell me, is this Midgardian greeting etiquette? I feel I should follow local customs…"
Thor was filled with envy.
"The texture is really good. If they opened a cosmetic surgery clinic on Earth, they'd definitely make a fortune."
Luke Rowling showed no restraint as he tested the Transformers' biotechnology.
Alice's smile stiffened slightly as she felt the overwhelming force on her chest, but she didn't scream. Instead, she allowed Luke to continue, maintaining a composed demeanor.
"So Mr. Luke likes this sort of thing. In that case… before the meeting starts, I'm sure the Secretary wouldn't mind if I helped Mr. Luke relax a little."
Alice blinked her electric-blue eyes and gave him a seductive look.
"No thanks. I'm not interested in inflatable dolls. No matter how realistic something looks, it's still fake."
Luke already had plenty of natural, living companions at home. He had no interest in artificial substitutes.
Thor desperately wanted to say, "I'm actually quite interested."
But Alice slowly moved closer to Luke, as if preparing to embrace him.
