Chapter 180: Chapter 179: Defeat Like a Collapsing Mountain
"What? The Mother Star actually exploded?"
"Is the spaceship behind the one used by the high-ranking officials to escape?"
The explosion of the White Star Civilization’s Mother Star completely interrupted the war. Although it was a one-sided war, the White Star Soldiers still struggled valiantly.
However, the fiercely fighting White Star Soldiers never expected such a sudden turn of events. freewebnoveℓ.com
Whether it was the sudden explosion of the Mother Star or learning that the high officials had abandoned them to escape alone, they all felt helpless and desolate!
Though most of them understood the actions of the higher-ups and knew that the White Star Civilization could not be allowed to perish, the thought that the higher-ups had not informed them of the real plan and were merely using them to buy time to escape, made them feel profoundly disappointed. They had risked their lives and gave their all, yet they didn’t receive the respect and trust they deserved; they were just treated as fools, a tool, which inevitably led to feelings of loss!
As soldiers, they were born understanding their duty and destiny.
They were not opposed to dying, but they did not wish to be used like fools until their deaths!
It can be said that due to the explosion of the Mother Star and the high officials’ escape, it dealt a heavy blow to the White Star fleet, causing their morale to plummet from great heights.
This already one-sided war instantly turned into a complete rout.
Many battleships, without even putting up a fight, were destroyed by the energy attacks from Earth Civilization and Light Synthesis Civilization, coming to understand the meaning of existence and death in their demise.
Thus, with Wandering striking like lightning, the end of this war was swiftly brought forward, with numerous White Star battleships being felled by dense energy attacks. From a cosmic perspective, they seemed like mosquitoes being viciously swatted and killed.
After the complete eradication of White Star Civilization’s battleships, Wandering transformed back from Planet Giant Sword to Metal Planet and then moved towards the battlefield’s remnants, using magnetic force to absorb metal atoms scattered in space—these were vital nutrients that Wandering naturally wouldn’t pass up.
At the same time.
The two Constant Stars were still ongoing.
Due to the massive mass of the Constant Stars, it was not so easy to completely tear and absorb them.
Even though the White Star only had about fifty percent hydrogen by mass and nearly a thousand times the mass of Constant Star, the absorption required time.
During this prolonged absorption, the White Star Constant Star constantly tried to counteract, but with the loss of the White Star Civilization’s support, this possibility became even more remote.
Moreover, when it witnessed the capabilities of Wandering, a chill went through the heart of White Star Constant Star.
It never imagined that within the race of level three lifeforms, even a planet could have such terrifying combat power. Not to mention facing Lu Chen with 2390 times the mass of Constant Star, even against that Metal Planet, it wasn’t sure it could win a fight.
Because the Constant Stars remain gaseous, despite their extremely high temperatures, they still need some time for heat transfer, whereas the Metal Planet could travel at 1.5 times the speed of light. That means, if there were an impact before the Metal Planet could be melted by the Constant Star’s high temperature, the Metal Planet would have already pierced through the gaseous star at faster-than-light speed.
In such wild thoughts, the hydrogen on the surface of the White Star Constant Star was continuously plundered by Lu Chen.
When the surface hydrogen was depleted, the White Star Constant Star had lost nearly a thousand times the mass of Constant Star, and Lu Chen had grown by a thousand times, reaching 3390 times the Constant Star mass.
Now, Lu Chen’s diameter spanned eight million kilometers, the core temperature reached twenty million degrees, and the corona layer temperature was at three hundred thirty thousand degrees. The hydrogen proportion hadn’t changed much, still around ninety-nine percent—further decimal points disregarded. However, both the gravitational range and strength had increased, especially the latter, with Lu Chen now able to normally use Gravity Increment to reach 110,000.
Meanwhile, as Constant Star mass increased due to mass-induced gravitational collapse, to combat stronger gravitational collapse, the nuclear fusion reactions in the core accelerated further, also causing Lu Chen to emit more luminosity and energy every moment. However, for a Constant Star, these changes were still trivial.
"Wandering, for the Battle Star plan, you lost some metal, let me compensate you now!"
After depleting the hydrogen, Lu Chen stopped and began distributing the remaining material elements of White Star.
As the White Star was an old star with less than fifty percent hydrogen, the remaining half of the mass was mostly other elements accumulated over the years through nuclear fusion, harmful and not beneficial to stars, so Lu Chen naturally didn’t continue to absorb these.
However, these materials were very useful for Wandering and biological civilizations, so after absorbing the hydrogen, Lu Chen controlled gravity to completely shred the remaining mass of White Star, also totally annihilating White Star, then distributed these materials to those in the life community that needed them.
"Thank you, big brother, my planetary mass is now 980, increased by more than ten times, this feeling is exhilarating."
When Wandering absorbed the remaining metal elements of White Star with magnetic force, it startlingly found that its planetary mass had increased by more than ten times, immensely exciting!
This boost was even greater than the last time when it absorbed the remaining elements from Constant Star Gold.
After all, the last time, Constant Star Gold had only 500 times the mass of Constant Star, whereas this time White Star had 2000, and being older than Constant Star Gold, naturally accumulated more metal elements.
Even the least abundant metal element is so plentiful.
It goes without saying, elements like helium, carbon, oxygen are surely even more abundant.
But neither Lu Chen nor Wandering needed these elements, so they handed them all over to Earth Civilization and Light Synthesis Civilization.
However, because Earth Civilization and Light Synthesis Civilization didn’t need so much material mass in the short term, after discussions, Lu Chen decided to establish a material storage belt within the Wandering Star System.
After all, having nearly a thousand times the mass of Constant Star material on a planet isn’t really scientific; it would not only impact the planetary ecology but also increase planetary gravity, causing inward collapse.
The so-called material storage belt is actually quite simple.
It involves using gravity to fix an orbital zone similar to an asteroid belt, where these temporarily unnecessary materials are stored in orbit within this belt.
When biological civilizations need them, they can then send spaceships to retrieve them.
Actually, this idea was something Lu Chen had back when it absorbed Constant Star Gold.
However, at that time, the primary mission was to escape the Galaxy Nebula, and they didn’t have enough speed, so they had to temporarily abandon some unnecessary materials.
"You have some nerve, daring to take what should belong to me!"
Just when every member within the Wandering Alliance was reaping great rewards, Lu Chen suddenly received an angry high-frequency consciousness message.
