Wandering Meteor-Chapter 233 - 232: Capturing Huang Xing

Star Realm Tunnel.

The annihilation explosion had gradually died down, leaving darkness once again.

The space tunnel, with a diameter of one light-year, had gone from its original tranquility and tidiness to absolute chaos; the boundary lines of the tunnel were no longer clear, and a vast amount of matter had rushed into the Star Realm Tunnel.

Within a relatively empty space, two massive Constant Stars were tearing each other apart.

These two Constant Stars were Lu Chen and Huang Xing, with Constant Star Masses reaching 17,100 and 17,630, respectively!

Although a difference of over five hundred Constant Star Masses existed, it had a negligible effect on Medium-mass stars that exceeded ten thousand Constant Star Masses.

As a result, the Gravity Strength coefficients between Lu Chen and Huang Xing were nearly the same. Coupled with both stars having diameters greater than several million kilometers, there was a considerable gradient in Gravity Strength at the ends of the stars, and it was this enormous disparity that was rapidly tearing them apart.

Essentially, nearly a hundred units of Constant Star Mass in surface Hydrogen were being stripped away every minute.

The high-temperature Hydrogen gas torn from their bodies formed several huge orange whirlwinds that directly infused into each other’s stellar bodies.

Lu Chen and Huang Xing were wrestling each other in such a murderous, desperate, and exhausting manner. As time ticked by, the Constant Star Mass of both parties constantly changed. If monitored with equipment, one would notice the increase and decrease of Constant Star Mass formed a consistent waveform.

However, the wavelength of their mass changes were not the same.

Constant Star Huang Xing, being slightly more massive, had a shorter decreasing mass wavelength but a longer increasing mass wavelength.

Besides, the manner in which they tore at each other was also quite peculiar. When celestial bodies normally tore each other apart using the Roche limit, most did so by rotating around each other. But Lu Chen and Huang Xing did not rotate; they were directly facing each other, tearing and absorbing, while progressively reducing the distance between them as they surpassed the Roche limit.

Nonetheless, Constant Star Huang Xing was unaware that it had walked right into Lu Chen’s scheme.

At that moment, the space surrounding Constant Star Huang Xing suddenly became rigid, as the fundamental force that existed since the birth of the Universe began compressing and reducing the normally expansive space to a smaller scale at an equal proportion...

"What? How is this possible?"

Constant Star Huang Xing immediately sensed something was wrong and was shocked.

Lu Chen sneered, "The main forces of the Earth Core Alliance have perished, and now it’s your turn. Don’t think just because you have a little more Constant Star Mass that I have no way to deal with you."

"How did you accomplish this? You’re clearly just a Level 3 Combined Life Entity!" Huang Xing said incredulously.

Lu Chen replied, "It seems you’ve realized what’s happening, but it’s too late. Everything is under my control; you can’t escape!"

Of course, Constant Star Huang Xing had noticed the reason.

Far away in space, at a distance of one astronomical unit, ten Cosmic Battleships gradually appeared. One of them used a special device to lock the space around Huang Xing, then began to compress it.

Being a Celestial Civilization within the Star Zone and living for countless eons, Huang Xing knew very well that the weapon capable of causing such an effect could only be developed by a Level 4 Civilization, specifically designed for Celestial Civilizations – the Celestial Body Capture Device!

It never imagined that the Wandering Alliance would possess such weapons of Advanced Civilization, which they had once attempted to buy from a Level 4 Civilization but failed to procure.

However, in retrospect, these experiences should have been apparent to the Earth Core Alliance long before.

After all, to blow up a Star Realm Tunnel one light-year long in such a manner, apart from an Anti-Matter Planet at Planet-level, tiny quantities of antimatter simply wouldn’t suffice.

The annihilation above them had been detonated by ten invisible Cosmic Battleships, but clearly, they couldn’t carry an Anti-Matter Planet given their size, not even a Planet Battle Star could. The only explanation was that the opponent possessed a Celestial Body-class weapon.

Such clear intelligence, yet they failed to analyze it, resulting in their current dire predicament.

Nevertheless, this could not be blamed on the Earth Core Civilization’s Planet Battle Stars.

After all, in the face of such a terrifying explosion, the primary goal of the Planet Battle Stars was survival; there was simply no time or energy to analyze this intelligence.

Moreover, many Planet Battle Stars were directly disintegrated by the blast.

If even survival was unattainable, what energy did anyone have to care about other matters?

If it were any Level 3 Civilization in their place, they would not have escaped such fate. It can only be said that the Wandering Alliance’s hidden cards and plans were too meticulous, leaving no flaw or chance for the enemy.

The plan to use the Celestial Body Capture Device to capture Huang Xing had actually been formulated since the beginning of the Planet Annihilation Plan; the two were linked. At that time, whether it was Constant Star Lu Chen or the scientific team, they anticipated that the annihilation explosion of the Anti-Matter Planet might not truly kill a Medium-mass star.

Thus, they planned for the worst-case scenario. If Constant Star Huang Xing was not destroyed, how should they deal with it?

With the current strength of the Wandering Alliance, it would certainly be insufficient, so they bet everything on the Celestial Body Capture Device.

After all, if they wanted to resolve the Earth Core Alliance and pass through the Star Realm Tunnel, Constant Star Huang Xing would inevitably be a huge obstacle they needed to overcome. It would be better to resolve it once and for all. Hence, they devised the chained plan—to release the Anti-Matter Planet and then use the Celestial Body Capture Device to capture Constant Star Huang Xing.

Despite some variations in the execution, the final result remained within Constant Star Lu Chen’s grasp.

"Damn it! Cursed Wandering Alliance, I will not let you succeed!"

Of course, Constant Star Huang Xing would not sit around waiting for doom. The moment it realized the truth, it fired the highest energy level Crown Hole Radiation and Gravitational Wave Attack towards the Cosmic Battleship operating the Celestial Body Capture Device, aiming to destroy the Cosmic Battleship and the Capture Device in one strike and extricate itself from the peril.

However, when the Celestial Body Capture Device locked the space around Huang Xing, it was already too late.

The unified force emitted by the Celestial Body Capture Device had already isolated that piece of space, and then it could slowly be compressed.

As a result, Constant Star Huang Xing’s desperate move was futile. The 220,000-kilometer wide Crown Hole Radiation and Gravity Waves were compressed along with the space being compressed.

From a distance, this scene looked quite mysterious. The 220,000-kilometer wide Crown Hole Radiation seemed to be on the verge of shooting out, but as the scale of space diminished, it seemed to be constantly running in place.

This was because the speed at which the Celestial Body Capture Device compressed space outpaced the speed of the Crown Hole Radiation, hence the illusion that the radiation was constantly running in place. This also showcased the high technical content of the Celestial Body Capture Device: it involved unified forces, Space Technology, and even utilized the principles of cosmic expansion.

No wonder the Wandering Alliance had studied extensively and still couldn’t understand it; after all, it involved too many fields they were yet to decipher.
