Wandering Meteor-Chapter 162 - 161 Little Entropy Beast and Cannibal Tree

After killing the Entropy Beast.

The oppressive atmosphere that had always shrouded the Wandering Star System also completely dissipated.

Although the final cost was very severe, with only three civilizations remaining from the original twelve, and each civilization having lost a massive number of Cosmic Battleships and soldier talents, overall, it was all worth it. Everyone who survived from the jaws of the Entropy Beast was cheering and jumping for joy.

People on Earth even held a global parade to celebrate, released a large number of spectacular fireworks, and even designated this day as Entropy Reduction Memorial Day. Perhaps one day in the future, people on Earth might consider this day a lucky day for eliminating threats.

At this moment.

Although Green Star also felt some surprise, there was more shock and remembrance.

Once, Green Star thought the Entropy Beast was invincible, that any civilization encountering the Entropy Beast would only be devoured. It was completely unexpected that Constant Star Lu Chen, by combining the strength of various civilizations, successfully killed an Entropy Beast, achieving the impossible miracle.

Green Star couldn’t help thinking, if when they first encountered the Entropy Beast they could also have many civilizations working together, although it might not have been possible to kill the Entropy Beast like now, at least there would have been more hope. It was the first time Green Star truly understood the advantages of a life community.

Before, Green Star had seen many life communities, but never had such deep feelings as at this moment, which energized their once melancholic heart, suddenly feeling a surge of strength, and even thought about joining a life community to try.

At this moment, the originally confused Green Star, as if suddenly finding their direction, looking at the bright constant star in the center of the Wandering Star System, that seemed to be their direction.

Thinking this, Green Star couldn’t help but laugh quietly.

Thinking of their age as a planet, they didn’t expect to have so many thoughts like a young planet.

However, just as the entire Wandering Star System was immersed in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

When the three civilizations in the Entropy Reduction Alliance were cleaning up the scene of the Entropy Beast’s death, they discovered a highly technological substance. Because all of them wanted to get this substance, a conflict erupted among these three civilizations, completely destroying the hard-won joyful atmosphere and filling each other with intense hostility.

...

Xianhe Nebula.

The slowly merging Xianhe Nebula gradually stabilized, with numerous celestial bodies and materials beginning to orbit around the Super Black Hole under its gravitational pull.

In the center of the Xianhe Nebula, within an undeveloped proto-spiral arm, lies a strange celestial body.

This celestial body is made up of seven planets, irregularly shaped like seven spherical magnets joined together.

The surfaces of these seven planets are tightly pressed together, showing slight signs of deformation and shattering, likely from colliding with each other during the collision of two nebulas.

However, such scenarios are generally unlikely.

Because planet-level celestial collisions would definitely be repelled by each other’s forces, and it is even more impossible to stack up to seven.

But since it has happened, it indicates some accidental circumstances.

Above this irregular Strange Star, lives an immensely huge Cannibal Tree, with roots invading the insides of the seven planets through the closely pressed land, binding the seven planets tightly together with billions of roots.

This is also the reason the seven planets remain tightly stuck together.

Apart from their mutual gravity, there’s also the binding effect of billions of roots.

During the collision and fusion process in the Xianhe Nebula, the Cannibal Tree burrowed its roots deep into the ground to avoid the fierce Star Wind Storm. It also used billions of roots to bind seven planets together, creating its own sanctuary against the storm.

For this achievement, the Cannibal Tree was extremely proud.

However, what the Cannibal Tree never expected was that this act against the heavens would attract the attention of the Entropy Beast.

This particular Entropy Beast had a diameter of one thousand kilometers and a length of three hundred thousand kilometers, certainly not the one that the Anti-Entropy Alliance had slain, but the two were somewhat connected.

This Little Entropy Beast was actually a split from the slain Entropy Beast. Before it arrived near the Xianhe Nebula, it had devoured many civilizations. Since its mass reached the upper limit, the Entropy Beast split one-fifth of its mass to form another Entropy Beast. Then, the two Entropy Beasts moved in different directions, continuing to fulfill their mission of devouring for entropy reduction and saving the Universe.

The direction that this Little Entropy Beast was heading was precisely the interior of the Xianhe Nebula, planning to pass through and search for elements with suitable entropy reduction values.

While flying, the Little Entropy Beast suddenly spotted an irregular Strange Star.

The Little Entropy Beast was interested in this Strange Star, not because of its odd shape, but because it was currently undergoing entropy reduction, and the entropy value was quite high.

Normally in the Universe, planets are separate and tend to scatter chaotically in Cosmic Space over time, or orbit around Constant Stars - that’s the general trend of development.

However, the present Strange Star was formed by seven planets, which violated the natural laws of development, creating significant entropy reduction. Furthermore, there was a life form on the Strange Star, growing against the natural order, which was another source of entropy reduction.

When the Little Entropy Beast’s system detected such strong entropy reduction values, it immediately turned and flew towards the Strange Star. Upon approaching, the Little Entropy Beast didn’t hesitate to open its massive mouth and swallowed one of the planets on the surface of the Strange Star.

But what the Little Entropy Beast didn’t expect was

that the Strange Star was bound together by countless roots. When the Little Entropy Beast tried to forcibly pull and devour this planet, it found additional resistance. With forceful effort, it ripped apart the roots between the planets and swallowed the planet, starting to break it down with unified force.

Meanwhile,

the Cannibal Tree on the Strange Star was in immense pain.

The pain from having so many roots torn apart at once was unimaginable, driving the Cannibal Tree mad with frenzy.

Furthermore, what made the Cannibal Tree even angrier was that after devouring the first planet, the Little Entropy Beast immediately began devouring the second one, as if it was eating candied haw skewers, which was very humiliating for both the tree and the planet.

In a frenzy, disregarding any risks, the Cannibal Tree wildly controlled its Tree Needles, launching them sky-covering towards the Little Entropy Beast, who was devouring the third planet. The sharp echoes resounded in the air like a grating melody.

Since the Cannibal Tree’s intelligence was not very high, at least not compared to biological life,

it didn’t realize that the creature before it was the Entropy Beast, feared by all civilizations in the Universe.

As the saying goes, "ignorance breeds fearlessness". The Cannibal Tree directly controlled tens of thousands of Tree Needles to entangle the Little Entropy Beast, who was swallowing a planet. It wrapped the Little Entropy Beast in a thick layer of tree cocoon, then violently contracted the Tree Needles, attempting to crush the Little Entropy Beast to death.

The Little Entropy Beast, upon detecting this, didn’t bother to respond. It merely swallowed the third planet, but it stuck in its throat because thousands of kilometers of its snake-like body were tightly bound by the Cannibal Tree’s Tree Needles, preventing the neutron skin from moving flexibly.

To resolve this, the Little Entropy Beast had to regurgitate the planet then fiercely bit into the massive base of the Cannibal Tree.

Under the colossal jaws of the Little Entropy Beast, the solid tree base broke apart and was swallowed, while the tree cocoon wrapped around the Little Entropy Beast naturally fell off, barely withstanding the attack.

Unexpectedly, just as the Little Entropy Beast swallowed the giant tree base, far off, the Entropy Beast was killed by Lu Chen. This caused a sudden malfunction in the unified force core inside the Little Entropy Beast. In this coincidental moment, the Tree Brain of the Cannibal Tree, which had not yet been digested, began to merge with the core of the Little Entropy Beast...

At this time, far away in the Universe, the Entropy Civilization could never have imagined that the Entropy Beast they created had slipped out of their control and would become a huge anomaly in the Universe!
