Wandering Meteor-Chapter 232 - 231: Turn of the Tide

As a Constant Star with 20,310 times the mass of a normal star, Huang Xing’s self-preservation capabilities were much stronger than those of an ordinary Planet Battle Star. It was not surprising that it could survive a planet-annihilating explosion.

However, although Huang Xing survived, it paid a heavy price for being at the center of the explosion.

Now, Huang Xing’s mass has been reduced to 17,630 times that of a normal star. One can imagine that in order to withstand the shockwave of the explosion, Huang Xing must have desperately ejected a Constant Star Storm to form an Energy Shield. However, due to the explosion’s prolonged duration and the immense energy impact, some Anti-hydrogen atoms were blown towards it, annihilating upon contact with the Hydrogen Element on the surface of Huang Xing, causing great damage to the star.

It was the combination of various factors that led to the loss of 2,680 times the Constant Star mass for Huang Xing.

Whether it was the loss of its own mass or watching the Planet Battle Stars that formed the life community with the Earth Core Civilization turn to dust one by one, the anger in Huang Xing’s heart accumulated to an indescribable extent. It wished it could immediately devour Lu Chen’s Hydrogen and consume his Intention.

Especially when it saw Lu Chen manage to destroy the eight escaping Planet Battle Stars.

Huang Xing’s killing intent rose to a peak, and due to extreme anger, the Nuclear Fusion Rate in its core region increased a lot.

"You bastard, go to hell!"

Huang Xing had nothing nice to say, cursing while charging at Lu Chen.

In the process of rushing forward, Huang Xing, regardless of the loss of its own mass, desperately launched attacks like the 220,000-kilometer-long Crown Hole Radiation and Constant Star Gravitational Waves.

Due to the reduction of mass, Huang Xing’s Energy Levels dropped to a maximum of 220,000 kilometers.

However, even with reduced mass, Huang Xing was still not something Lu Chen could compare to. Lu Chen’s Constant Star Mass was only 16,200 times that of a normal star, still unable to contend with Huang Xing’s 17,630.

Therefore, Lu Chen could only engage in evasion and indirect combat with Huang Xing, dodging when possible and using the same tactics to counter when he couldn’t avoid.

However, due to the difference in attack Energy Levels, Lu Chen usually needed two or three of the same attacks to neutralize one from Huang Xing. Thus, in the battle between the two Constant Stars, Huang Xing had the upper hand and initiated a frenzied chase.

Nevertheless, because Lu Chen adopted different combat strategies, the battle range between him and Huang Xing became extremely broad. Additionally, both had mastered using Gravity Waves for Space Acceleration. At superluminal speeds, their combat range expanded to half a light-year.

From a universal perspective, it looked like two luminous spheres chasing each other at superluminal speed - a miraculous and intense scene!

After the explosion subsided, much of the energy matter had gradually settled down and was quietly floating in the ravaged Star Realm Tunnel. However, with the superluminal combat of the two Medium-mass stars, these energy matters were either blown away or absorbed.

In the meantime.

As Huang Xing was frantically pursuing and trying to kill Lu Chen, it discovered a strange thing.

It found that during the chase, Lu Chen’s mass was not decreasing but instead increasing.

It is known that their use of various attack methods all depended on nuclear fusion as a prerequisite, and Constant Star Nuclear Fusion was constantly ongoing, meaning the star’s mass was always decreasing. However, the consumption of nuclear fusion for a star under normal conditions is very minor and typically negligible.

But during such a period of battle, due to the frequent use of various means, the mass reduction is incredibly rapid.

Take him, for example, after this period of frenzied pursuit, he has almost lost a Constant Star Mass, and yet, Constant Star Lu Chen is actually increasing in mass, an unthinkable possibility.

Consequently, Constant Star Huang Xing started to pay attention to some of Lu Chen’s actions, and soon Huang Xing understood everything!

It turns out that Lu Chen’s circuitous fighting was just a facade. In fact, Lu Chen was using the convenience of Space Movement to quietly absorb some of the matter floating within the Star Realm Tunnel.

Since it was always Constant Star Huang Xing pursuing Constant Star Lu Chen, the matter that Lu Chen passed and absorbed was not easily noticed by Huang Xing who followed after, until the mass Lu Chen absorbed became significant and the change in Constant Star Mass was apparent. Only then did Huang Xing realize that he had been led by the nose the whole time by Lu Chen.

"You scumbag, do you think you can escape death by just absorbing a bit of matter?" Huang Xing said hatefully.

Constant Star Lu Chen said: "Wait until my Constant Star Mass surpasses yours, then you can see if I can tear you apart and absorb you?"

Without waiting for Huang Xing to speak, Lu Chen continued: "And I don’t just absorb at random; I’ve noticed that your Constant Star Mass has diminished by 2680. Plus, most of the loss is the surface Hydrogen, which means there’s a lot of Hydrogen within this Star Realm Tunnel. While I’ve been engaging in evasive combat, I’ve been searching for these Hydrogen locations and absorbing them as I pass. Now, my Constant Star Mass has reached 17100, and the gap between us is not large!"

The original Constant Star Mass of Lu Chen was 16200; it’s now 17100, having increased by 900 during this time.

Basically, with every shift to a new location, Lu Chen is able to absorb over a hundred units of Hydrogen matter from the space, and though due to annihilation explosions there are many other elements mixed within the Hydrogen Gas Group, in such a situation, Constant Star Lu Chen did not have much choice but to absorb it altogether.

Therefore, of the 900 added Constant Star Masses, at least three hundred is of other elements.

Fortunately for Lu Chen, his current Constant Star Mass has reached 17100, so these mere three hundred Constant Star Masses don’t have much impact, and the hydrogen ratio in Lu Chen is still above ninety percent.

After hearing Lu Chen’s words, Constant Star Huang Xing noticed for the first time that Lu Chen had absorbed all the available Hydrogen mass within half a light-year’s vicinity, not even leaving him a single strand. While he, Huang Xing, lost 2680 Constant Star Masses worth of hydrogen, there is plenty more Hydrogen that has been blasted about by explosions, and those are not easy to locate.

So, with no other choice, Constant Star Huang Xing frantically lunged toward Constant Star Lu Chen.

"Do you think I’ll let you continue to absorb? Besides, there’s no more hydrogen within half a light-year nearby, and ultimately your mass is still less than mine. Just accept your death obediently!"

"Not just you, I will obliterate the entire Wandering Alliance with you!"

Thinking about how he had fallen for Constant Star Lu Chen’s tricks repeatedly, leading to such a situation, Constant Star Huang Xing felt particularly furious.

Disregarding everything else, he threw himself at Constant Star Lu Chen, using his 17630 Constant Star Masses to exert a massive gravitational pull on Lu Chen. After grappling with gravity for some time, the two inevitably got closer due to the gravitational pull and entered each other’s Roche limit.

Because now the difference in Constant Star Masses between Lu Chen and Huang Xing is only 530, which is negligible for their tens of thousands of Constant Star Masses, the difference in Gravity Strength and Roche limits between the two is extremely small. Moreover, both stars are very large in size, so when entering Huang Xing’s Roche limit, Lu Chen’s is nearly simultaneous, causing the two stars to start tearing each other apart under nearly indistinguishable gravitational forces.

The battle between the two living entity alliances ultimately still escalated into a fierce physical confrontation.

However, what Constant Star Huang Xing didn’t expect was that in the midst of tearing each other apart, he had actually stepped into another trap...
