Wandering Meteor-Chapter 245 - 244 Prelude to the Counterattack

Gaseous Nebula.

The lone constant star within the Gaseous Nebula helplessly watched the great battle between two factions.

It realized that the Square Clan Civilization’s forces were continuously pushing the Wandering Alliance, inadvertently forcing them into the territory of the Gaseous Nebula, and soon after, the Square Clan Civilization also entered, causing the conflict between the two civilizations to eventually extend onto its own domain.

However, it had made it clear, very seriously stated that the warfare was not to spread into its nebula.

Yet, these two civilizations completely disregarded its words, to the extent that they engaged in fierce combat within the Gaseous Nebula, which was precisely why it felt so helpless.

After all, for a lone Constant Star Celestial Body to deal with two civilization alliances, or even halt this war, was indeed a case of willing spirit but weak flesh, so after much thinking, it could only turn a blind eye, as long as the two alliances didn’t go too far and the flames of war didn’t reach within one light-year of itself.

As the saying goes, endure a moment of calm and retreat a step to behold the vastness of the sea and the sky.

Subsequently, it continued to observe the grand battle between the two civilization alliances, but when it saw the Wandering Alliance actually break through the Square Clan Civilization’s Space Rhombic Boundary, it too was utterly in disbelief!

It was very aware of the defensive strength of the Space Rhombic Boundary, never expecting it to be breached by the Wandering Alliance!

At the same time.

After breaking through the Square Clan Civilization’s Space Rhombic Boundary, the Wandering Alliance immediately launched various energy attacks, forcing the enemy’s Battle Stars to retreat, regaining some maneuvering space.

Immediately after, Lu Chen ordered the Wandering Alliance to implement the strategy of scattered combat.

Although unity is stronger, the enemy’s numbers were clearly more, and in terms of force in numbers, the Wandering Alliance was surely no match for the Square Clan Civilization.

Thus, Lu Chen had each Battle Star engage in scattered combat to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by the Square Clan, while also dispersing the fighting strength of the Square Clan, aiming for isolated take-downs.

Another advantage of executing scattered combat was that the Wandering Alliance possessed Invisibility Technology, which could make the Battle Stars invisible, this could maximize evasion of concentrated firepower, while also finding opportunities to ambush the opposing Battle Stars.

However, since Lu Chen and the Metal Planet Wandering did not possess such invisibility devices, and due to the scattering strategy preventing the use of Battle Star devices for invisibility, when the Green Star Battle Star, Earth Battle Star, and other such stars became invisible, Lu Chen and Wandering remained visible in space, turning into the most exposed targets.

Of course, Lu Chen was a Constant Star with a mass of over twenty thousand Constant Star Mass, and Wandering was a Metal Planet that could freely Transform, thus they did not fear the Square Clan Civilization Planet Battle Star’s firepower attack, and hence did not need to become invisible. On the contrary, being exposed in space could exert some pressure on the Square Clan Civilization and also provide cover and coordination for the invisible Battle Stars to launch their attacks.

Ultimately, this battle, which was initially lopsided, suddenly became confusing and unpredictable.

Within the Gaseous Nebula, a terrifying energy attack would occasionally emerge out of nowhere, akin to swaths of Cosmic Light Sabers slashing across the sky, and as the chaotic battle continued, the area of engagement between the two civilization alliances steadily increased, nearly spreading to half of the Gaseous Nebula.

Seeing this, Constant Star Haoxing said, "I didn’t expect you to be able to break through our defenses, you do have some skills. But if you think these sneaky tactics will lead you to victory, then you’re being too naive. I’ve given you your chance, and since you’ve refused it, prepare to die!"

"Who hasn’t struggled for survival in the Universe?" retorted Constant Star Lu Chen, completely disregarding Constant Star Haoxing’s threat. "What’s the use of these superficial words you speak? If you want something, just make your move! Idle talk will only lower my opinion of you!"

Boom!

Enraged by Lu Chen’s words, Constant Star Haoxing immediately unleashed a Crown Hole Radiation of the highest energy level, shaking the Universe to its core.

The Crown Hole Radiation beam was 330,000 kilometers thick, with terrifying energy fluctuations that rippled through it, distorting space into a cosmic riverbed!

Facing Haoxing’s full-force attack, Lu Chen dare not take it lightly. He immediately started to retreat while firing back with his Crown Hole Radiation to counter the assault.

However, as Lu Chen only possessed 22,815 units of Constant Star Mass, over 5,000 less than Haoxing’s 28,000, his Crown Hole Radiation, with the highest thickness being only 280,000 kilometers, couldn’t fully block the 330,000 kilometers beam; hence Lu Chen often needed two shots to fend off one from Haoxing, quickly putting him in a disadvantaged position.

Despite Lu Chen’s counterattack efforts using Gravity Waves and Gravity Black Holes, the lack of 5,000 units of Constant Star Mass meant his Gravity Increment was less powerful than Haoxing’s, leaving him with no effective measures against Haoxing. His only advantage was utilizing the Unified Force Stone to enhance the upper limit of his Gravity Black Holes. To make the Gravity Black Hole effective in attacks, Lu Chen had to combine it with several Gravity Waves.

As the Gravity Waves were emitted, they formed transparent twisted spirals in space and quickly soared towards Constant Star Haoxing.

Haoxing initially thought these were just plain Gravity Waves like before, but the Square Clan Civilization Battle Star’s warning system alerted him differently. The detectors on the Battle Star noticed one of the Gravity Waves was exceptionally strong, causing highly frequent space distortions, prompting Haoxing to be extra cautious.

Haoxing immediately countered with his strongest Gravity Wave.

Upon contact, Lu Chen’s Gravity Wave was instantly devoured, and Haoxing couldn’t help feeling smug: "Heh, your Constant Star Mass is only 22,815, while I have 28,000. How could the strength of your Gravity Waves possibly surpass mine?"

But the next moment shocked him.

As Haoxing’s bold and confident Gravity Wave met the Gravity Black Hole, it was swallowed immediately.

However, due to the influence of the Gravity Wave, the Gravity Black Hole didn’t reach the intended target and exploded prematurely, creating a massive temporary Black Hole in the dark recesses of space.

"How is this possible? With your Constant Star Mass, the Gravity Strength should not possibly increase to such a high degree. Did you use some other tools or devices?" Beyond the unexpected Gravity Strength, what surprised Haoxing the most was Lu Chen’s innovative idea of using Gravity Waves to create a Gravity Black Hole.

Knowing he had more Constant Star Mass and higher Gravity Increment than Lu Chen, exceeding the strength of 300,000, he had never thought to transform Gravity Waves into a Gravity Black Hole. Witnessing it firsthand, he was hugely inspired and enlightened; Gravity Waves could be utilized in this way.

Despite being enemies, Haoxing truly had to admire Lu Chen’s intelligence.

At that moment, Constant Star Lu Chen suddenly said, "Surprised by just a simple Gravity Black Hole? Then what comes next will truly shock you!"

With these words, the Wandering Alliance formally commenced their counterattack!
