Chapter 41: CH: 41 Man Vs Autobot
[Chapter: 41 Man Vs Autobot]
William looked at the longsword close at hand, stretched out his hand, and put it on the sword. "It is a pretty heavy sword."
"Humans, you cannot lift that sword; it weighs over 5000 KG," Drift said with a laugh.
William laughed. The sword in his hand is about 1000 KG, which can't be lifted by normal people. But William can lift it up because he is not normal, so what is so big about lifting it?
Hound smiled. "You're right, he's a pretender. Who are you, kid?"
"I'm called William," William said proudly without looking at the Autobot.
"William? No one has ever dared to act like that in front of me. Boy, you really have the guts. I can tell you that," Hound's voice chilled.
Crosshairs came face to face with William. "No one was doing that because they are not strong enough to speak out."
"You mean you're strong enough, kid?"
"Yep," William responded, hanging his words.
Tessa snorted. "He really has a way with words. He is all talk."
William looked at Tessa with a smile and said with a low chuckle, "I'm not all talk, Tessa. You should be very clear about that, right?"
"You..." Tessa's eyes flashed with a little anger, and the images of what he had done appeared in her mind. "Fuck it, this damn guy."
Cade immediately looked at Tessa. "Tessa, can you tell me what this means?"
"Dad, he just said some shit, and you believe what he said?" Tessa said immediately. If Cade knew it, he would be very mad.
Cade looked at William and then at Tessa, shouting, "I think what he said is very credible. Tell me clearly, Tessa."
The steel face of Crosshairs wrinkled together. "Boy, aren't you too arrogant?"
"Why shouldn't I be, when I have the power to back it up?" William spread his hands.
Hound yelled, "I can't stand it anymore. I'm going to smash this human. Optimus Prime, you have no qualms about that, right?"
"Just don't hurt him if he can't fight," Optimus said.
"It doesn't matter. Hey, do you want to make a bet with me?" William's eyes rolled slightly.
"A little human dares to bet with me? Do you really think you stand a chance against us?" Hound said the line.
"Hey, my body is indeed smaller than yours, but it is not necessarily weaker than yours. How about this? If you can't kill me, then you will take orders from me. How about it?" William looked at the Autobots.
Crosshairs said angrily, "You human, dare to insult the great Autobots. Optimus, no matter what you say, I will kill him. This is about the dignity of our Autobots."
"Ah!" Crosshairs bellowed, yanking out both blasters and unleashing a ferocious barrage at William.
Bang! Bang!
Explosions erupted across the battlefield, the ground trembling as dust clouds and flying debris carved deep craters into the earth.
William stepped lightly out of the line of fire, his expression calm. "Are you just shooting for the sake of it? Where exactly are you aiming?"
Crosshairs froze, his optics narrowing as he registered William standing far to his left. "How did you get there so fast?"
Bumblebee and Hound exchanged uneasy glances, while Drift frowned in disbelief. Even Optimus Prime observed the scene with a flicker of intrigue in his glowing optics.
The ground shook violently as Crosshairs charged forward. "I will break you!" His heavy footsteps reverberated through the air like thunder.
Optimus's tone held an air of gravity. "Let's see how this human fares."
Hound puffed on his cigar, scoffing. "Humans are fragile. They crumble if you so much as tap them. Why bother taking him seriously?"
"Are you kidding me, a human is weak and can be killed easily. It is not we who look down on them. Their bones break when we just touch them." Hound held his cigarette butt, revealing in his eyes disdain.
Drift nodded in agreement. "Indeed. Their bones snap like twigs."
Optimus Prime's metallic brow furrowed. "You underestimate him. This one is far from ordinary."
Hound chuckled dismissively. "We'll see."
Crosshairs unleashed another hailstorm of bullets, shouting in frustration. "Stop running and fight me, coward!"
William darted in and out of the gunfire with ease, his movements blurring with speed. "Why would I just stand still and let you hit me? Do I look stupid?"
With a mighty leap, William soared nearly fifteen meters into the air, his shield gleaming as he prepared his counterattack.
DUANG!
The shield smashed into Crosshairs' chest, sending sparks flying as the massive bot stumbled backward, roaring in pain.
"Dammit!" Crosshairs snarled, his cannons swiveling toward the airborne figure. He fired relentlessly, energy bolts crackling through the sky.
William twisted midair, his shield deflecting each blast with precision. "Is that all you've got? You'll need more than brute force to take me down."
Tessa watched the battle with bated breath, her fists clenched. "He's insane! Fighting a Transformer on the ground is already risky, but jumping into the air? He's asking to get himself killed!"
Cade's expression was one of awe. "I knew he was strong, but this… this is beyond human. It's like he's transcended."
Even Bumblebee and Drift exchanged startled glances. Hound muttered under his breath, the cigar dropping from his mouth. "Optimus, where did you even find this guy?"
"I warned you not to underestimate him," Optimus said, his tone resolute. "The Crosshairs don't stand a chance."
"You think he can actually win?" Drift asked, disbelief creeping into his voice.
"Really?" Hound laughed, obviously not taking Optimus Prime's words to heart.
"No, he's strong, and he's faster than the Crosshairs, and he has a strange shield." Drift said. But that can mean he can win.
Optimus didn't say much. Wait a moment, the facts will prove everything he said.
Crosshairs growled, frustration boiling over. His sheer size and weight were working against him, making it impossible to match William's speed and agility. "Bastard! Stand still and fight me like a bot!"
William's laughter echoed across the battlefield. "Fighting isn't about brute strength; it's about strategy."
With a deafening roar, Crosshairs lunged, his massive fist descending like a wrecking ball. "I'll crush you into dust!"
William braced himself, raising his shield to meet the strike.
DUANG!
The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the area, forcing William to slide back several meters, his boots leaving deep gouges in the ground.
"Die, you pest!" Crosshairs bellowed, raising an artillery tube and launching an energy bomb directly at William.
BOOM!
The explosion obliterated the ground, sending dirt and debris flying in every direction. Smoke and flames engulfed the battlefield.
For a moment, silence reigned.
Then, from the smoke, William shot skyward, his shield gleaming like a comet as he raced toward Crosshairs.
"You…" Crosshairs stammered, frantically trying to aim his weapons.
"It's too late," William said, his voice cold.
BOOM!
The shield slammed into Crosshairs' faceplate, shattering metal and sending electric sparks flying in every direction. Crosshairs roared in agony, stumbling backward as fragments of his chassis scattered across the ground.
