Drift Of The Multiverse: [Marvel] [Resident Evil] [DC] [Bleach] [DB] Chapter 437: Water (BONUS)

In the end, Ethan still revealed the "truth", though he did not ntion Diana’s na.

Upon hearing that Ethan had a girlfriend capable of killing Ares, the God of War, Kevin Smith beca even more wary of him and increasingly grateful that the White House had not taken any drastic actions.

If Ethan had truly been attacked by humans, how would his companions have reacted? Could Earth withstand their retaliation?

These were all things they had to consider. He decided to report all of this information to the President and his colleagues. Until they had a complete understanding of the full extent of Ethan’s power, it was best not to casually make an enemy of him.

Ethan’s goal of showing off his strength was largely achieved ahead of schedule by this unexpected turn of events, which ant he had no part in the subsequent battle to use gatron as bait to ambush the Decepticons.

He understood the principle of diminishing returns. If he kept displaying his strength frequently, it would not make the other party more wary. Instead, it could arouse suspicion about his true intentions.

If he accidentally overstimulated them, and these people, in their panic, decided to go for a mutually destructive outco, it would be a huge waste. Not that he would be hard by it, but after spending so much effort and ti to finally establish contact and being on the verge of cooperation, only for talks to suddenly break down, anyone would feel annoyed.

Tony did not try to steal the spotlight again either. He and Ethan sat quietly in the command vehicle, watching the spectacular performance of the Autobots and the Arican soldiers.

With full preparations and a large deploynt of equipnt, the combat effectiveness of the US military was astonishing. Moreover, the number of Decepticons attracted this ti was very small. Even without the help of these soldiers, the Autobots could have fought them to a standstill.

Now, with the large number of soldiers equipped with various advanced weapons joining the fray, it was simply a brutal, one-sided beatdown.

The Decepticons were beaten terribly.

Brawl and Blackout, powerful military weapons, beca pri targets. Not only were they destroyed, but the ground they stood on was blasted several ters lower than the surroundings.

Although Bonecrusher was large, he was no match for Optimus Pri and was easily torn apart, just like in the original plot.

Even worse, gatron, the most powerful fighter among the Decepticons, was completely immobilized, frozen by Ethan’s magic, unable to wake up for a while.

He wondered if gatron could receive information in this state. If so, what would he think watching his subordinates being killed one by one by the Autobot traitors in league with outsiders?

Unfortunately, no one would ever know. After annihilating the Decepticons, Ethan casually finished off the Decepticon leader, directly crushing the space within gatron’s head, ice and all, into fragnts.

Seeing Ethan rely clench his fist from a distance toward gatron, causing the massive tal head to be crushed into pieces like a rotten tomato, the Secretary of Defense and the Senator beca even more wary of this powerful interstellar friend.

This was why Ethan did not participate in the battle. Showing too much strength would be counterproductive.

gatron had to be eliminated. Throughout the Transforrs movie series, gatron was like an unkillable cockroach, constantly popping up to cause trouble. Since Ethan wanted to use this world as a logistical base, he could not tolerate such a character constantly causing disruptions.

The bodies of the Decepticons, including gatron, would be transported away by the US military. As for where they would be sent, Ethan did not care at all.

During the previous discussions, no one had ntioned the Decepticon corpses. This was an unspoken agreent. All these war trophies would be handed over to the humans for research.

Optimus Pri was initially a bit reluctant to accept this, but Ethan persuaded him.

"You want to live on Earth, but you will not pay for lodging? And you expect humans to understand and trust you?"

It sounded unreliable no matter how you looked at it. In the Transforrs movie series, so human politicians who suddenly appeared were quite annoying, but putting yourself in their shoes, Optimus Pri and the others’ actions could not help but cause suspicion.

They suddenly arrived on Earth, started frantically gathering comrades without permission, claid to help humans fight the Decepticons, but kept all the core technology in the Autobots’ hands, sharing nothing with humans. Even if you just brought out so outdated Cybertronian technology for a show of technological assistance, that would be sothing.

Instead, the great Optimus Pri declared: You humans are a bunch of war maniacs, I will not give you Cybertronian technology.

His domineering attitude was utterly overwhelming.

To put it bluntly, from the beginning, the Autobots did not treat humans as equal allies. Optimus Pri saw humans as an uncivilized, weak civilization, while they were guardians from a higher civilization who had descended upon this world.

But now it was different. From the beginning, Ethan had guided Optimus Pri onto a different path. The Autobots had contacted the Earth governnt from the outset, engaging in sothing akin to formal diplomatic negotiations. This ant that from the beginning, humans and Autobots were interacting on a relatively equal footing.

Especially after this major battle, Optimus Pri also realized that the Transforrs were not invincible when facing human weapons. Against the endless variety of weapons, the Transforrs did not hold the advantage.

"I would like to know how many of you Autobots are still on Earth?"

"All of us are here. If Bumblebee had not sent a signal to contact us, we would not be here."

"What about the Decepticons?"

After the battle, the remaining task was cleaning up the battlefield, but the big shots from the three sides had more issues to discuss. The soldiers cordoned off an area so that Optimus Pri, John Keller, Kevin Smith, Ethan, and the others could talk without being disturbed.

"We used gatron as bait to lure out the Decepticons. When the Decepticons received the ssage, they would definitely have co out in full force. Since no new Decepticons appeared, this should be all of them."

Optimus Pri spoke with great confidence. As an old opponent who had fought the Decepticons for who knows how long, he felt he understood them very well.

However, in the eyes of Ethan, who knew the subsequent plot, this was full of things to criticize.

As the Autobot leader in the movie version of Transforrs, Optimus Pri’s portrayal was definitely not as perfect as in the animated series. He often made inexplicable judgnts, and the Autobots’ tragic fate in later plots was definitely partly due to Optimus Pri’s contribution.

As a spoiler enthusiast, Ethan could not help but almost start spoiling again, but this ti he managed to hold back.

He still wanted to recruit Dylan Gould, the human traitor controlled by the Decepticons in the third movie, to his side. Before that, he could not reveal too much.

But this did not an he and Optimus Pri had no excuse to stay on Earth. After all, if they wanted to find reasons, there were plenty.

"The Decepticons received the ssage about gatron’s location and would definitely transmit it. More Decepticons might co to Earth in the future. It is foreseeable that there will be many battles against the Decepticons on Earth in the future."

The Secretary of Defense’s face was as dark as could be. He had originally thought there would be no trouble during his term, but who would have thought such a thing would happen just before the transition? If not handled properly, it could beco a lifelong stain on his record.

"As the Autobot leader, I absolutely cannot stand by and watch the Decepticons wreak havoc on Earth. So you do not need to worry, we will help humanity fight the Decepticons from now on."

Ethan frowned. He had originally wanted to say sothing, but ultimately held back. He was not an Autobot mber, nor was he a Transforr, so he could not keep telling Optimus Pri what to do.

Moreover, Optimus Pri might not be willing to listen to his advice. Ultimately, these were Transforr matters.

Compared to what might happen to the Transforrs in the future, Ethan was more concerned about his own treatnt in this world.

While the Secretary of Defense and Optimus Pri discussed how to form a military alliance against the Decepticons, Ethan and Kevin Smith walked away slightly to discuss other matters.

Compared to the Transforrs, who were completely different from humans, Kevin Smith felt closer to extraterrestrial life forms like Ethan who had the sa appearance as humans. And in so ways, Ethan’s race had many connections with Earth.

When a politician deliberately tries to get close to soone, most people, unless they are resistant from the start, can have a very pleasant conversation with them. Even though Ethan knew the other party was trying to please him and get close for various reasons, he still felt that Mr. Smith was a very nice person.

At the sa ti, he repeatedly emphasized that he would not stay on Earth permanently, but could visit frequently and engage in so trade activities with Earth.

"Mr. Ethan, what goods do you plan to sell?"

Ethan thought for a mont. Introducing high-end technology right away was definitely not suitable. This could wait until after multiple transactions had built a certain level of trust between the two parties.

"How about ore?"

"Ore?"

"You know, minerals that are very rare on one planet are actually not worth much in the universe. Perhaps so minerals rarely seen on Earth are floating around in space in unknown quantities."

Kevin Smith’s eyes lit up. He also felt that ore was very suitable for increasing mutual trust, and his advisor imdiately whispered another resource into his ear.

"Water?"

After a male advisor with glasses whispered a few words in his ear, Kevin Smith imdiately understood what this ant and quickly brought it up with Ethan. "If possible, we hope you can collect more teorites with rich water resources in space."

Ethan could naturally hear the advisor’s words and understood why the other party wanted teorites with water resources, and this was not difficult for him.

"teorites containing water? That is easy."

The advisor beside him, seeing Ethan’s indifferent attitude, was afraid Ethan would not take it seriously and quickly added, "Preferably water that is harmless to humans and potable."
