Wandering Meteor-Chapter 248 - 247: Falling into a Trap

In a bid for self-rescue, Constant Star Hao Xing attempted many methods in a short time.

Alas, no matter what Constant Star Hao Xing tried, he could not prevent the Black Entropy Ball from absorbing his thermal energy.

Thus, with no other choice, Constant Star Hao Xing could only command Square Clan’s Mother Star to launch a Blast Bomb at himself.

Ordinarily, the Blast Bomb certainly could not penetrate into a Constant Star Body, but at that moment, because the Black Entropy Ball had absorbed a great amount of thermal energy, the temperature of that particular location had dropped, allowing the Blast Bomb to be shot into the body of the Constant Star.

And what Constant Star Hao Xing intended was to use the power of the Blast Bomb to blast the Black Entropy Ball out from his Constant Star body.

Of course, the prerequisite was that he needed to eliminate gravity in that direction; otherwise, gravity would pull the Black Entropy Ball back in.

However, this would result in some mass loss, but under such circumstances, Constant Star Hao Xing had little choice but to blame this hatred on Lu Chen.

Boom!

Eventually, the Blast Bomb launched by Square Clan Star exploded at the designated location, and the resultant shockwave successfully blasted a huge hole in the gaseous Constant Star Body, with a great amount of Constant Star Mass being blown away along with the Black Entropy Ball.

Constant Star Hao Xing thus resolved a tremendous crisis. Although his Constant Star Body had been blasted with a huge hole, as long as it was safe afterwards, the gaseous Constant Star would quickly restore to round shape using gravitational effects; there was no need to worry. What made Hao Xing extraordinarily heartbroken was the fact that he actually lost more than three thousand Constant Star Mass, how detestable!!

"You scoundrel, today I must kill you! I’ll absorb your hydrogen and intention particles until nothing is left!"

In a fury, Constant Star Hao Xing sent out an extremely enraged message, like a completely provoked lion, his gaze filled with murderous intent looking at Lu Chen.

With a helpless sigh in his heart, Lu Chen said, "What a pity, the strategy I meticulously planned turned out to be resolved by you."

"You damn scoundrel, you’ve run out of tricks, haven’t you? That black sphere has fallen into our hands; next, I’d like to see what tricks you have left?"

As Constant Star Hao Xing sent out this message, he also commanded Square Clan Star to capture the blasted Black Entropy Ball back. He realized that this marvelous object had great scientific value.

Lu Chen said, "You can wait and see!"

"Hmph, playing mysterious, what else can you do now besides the Celestial Body Capture Device? But why didn’t you use the Celestial Body Capture Device earlier? I guess you previously used the Celestial Body Capture Device to capture Huang Xing, you definitely haven’t absorbed it, otherwise, your Constant Star Mass wouldn’t be just this much!" Constant Star Hao Xing confidently stated.

Speaking of Huang Xing, Lu Chen hadn’t wanted to absorb it earlier, it was just that he had been busy with matters inside the alliance, with no time to absorb it; unexpectedly, upon arriving at the Gaseous Nebula, sudden attacks from Square Clan Civilization occurred.

Now that the opponent had guessed it, Lu Chen no longer concealed it and said, "Even if I can’t use the Celestial Body Capture Device, you have lost more than three thousand Constant Star Masses to rid yourself of the Black Entropy Ball, your current Constant Star Mass is only over a thousand more than mine, I do not have zero chance of winning."

"But my Constant Star Mass is still higher than yours, I think defeating you is easier than you defeating me, and our side has more battle stars, your Wandering Alliance simply has no chance of winning... Moreover, do you think our assassination operation this time has spared any effort?" Constant Star Hao Xing mysteriously stated.

Initially, Lu Chen believed that Constant Star Hao Xing was merely bluffing and did not take it seriously.

However, at the next moment, the Constant Star within the Gaseous Nebula suddenly emitted two beams of Crown Hole Radiation, destroying Earth’s number nine and ten Battle Stars that were fighting nearby with Square Clan’s Battle Stars.

The bright flames from the explosion of two Battle Stars illuminated this expanse of space.

Seeing this, Lu Chen of the Constant Star was immediately taken aback and angrily said, "What do you mean by this?"

"You still have the nerve to ask what I mean? I’ve already told you, don’t spread the war to the nebula where I reside. Yet you treat my words as if they were just wind past your ears, not only waging war within the nebula but also coming near me to skirmish. Did you really think I didn’t exist? Or that I was dead? I am a dignified Constant Star Level Celestial Civilization, so you’re saying I don’t need any respect?"

The Constant Star from the Gaseous Nebula spoke confidently, "Earlier, I thought if I endured for a while, there would be peace and quiet; if I retreated one step, there would be a vast and open space. But it turns out, enduring just brings more unrest, and retreating only makes me more indignant. So I took action, to fight for my dignity!"

Lu Chen of the Constant Star furiously said, "I don’t believe you for a second. Even if what you’re saying is true, why do you only attack us and not them? I see you’re all in this together!"

"Hehe, don’t mind that. I was just teasing you. We are indeed in this together. Anyway, you’re bound to die today; it doesn’t matter if you care or not," the Constant Star within the Gaseous Nebula said with brazen arrogance.

Only at this moment did Lu Chen of the Constant Star finally realize that all of this was a plot by the Square Clan Civilization. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

And the Constant Star in the Gaseous Nebula was none other than another star from the Square Clan’s Double Star System, Huang Xing.

Earlier, after obtaining intelligence from the Wandering Alliance, the Square Clan Civilization didn’t take it lightly. After all, the Wandering Alliance had managed to wipe out the Earth Core Alliance, and although the Earth Core Alliance’s combat power wasn’t the strongest, they had at least defeated them and become the Guardians of the Star Realm Ball. So, they certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to underestimate a civilization that could eliminate the Earth Core Alliance.

They considered that the Wandering Alliance must have used some trump card weapons to eliminate the Earth Core Alliance, and they didn’t have enough intelligence on these weapons. Engaging in battle rashly would entail certain risks, so they devised a strategic plan. They had Huang Xing use wormhole technology to arrive in front of the Wandering Alliance in advance, pretending to be a Wandering Star, to communicate with them beforehand.

Although there is always some level of caution and defense when facing an unfamiliar Wandering Star, it definitely wouldn’t be as guarded as directly facing their Square Clan Civilization, and this was an opportunity they could exploit.

To ordinary people, this opportunity might be useless, but to a civilization alliance, it could be a decisive factor in victory or defeat.

The first goal of the Square Clan Civilization’s strategic plan was to extract as much new intelligence from the Wandering Alliance as possible. Of course, the best outcome would be to obtain the opponent’s special weapons, which is also why Huang Xing had always been coaxing the Wandering Alliance to give up something valuable, without revealing what it actually was.

If the trade failed, the Square Clan would have a second plan ready.

Huang Xing would continue to play the role of a Wandering Star while the Square Clan would launch a surprise attack midway to disrupt the situation.

Amidst the conflict of two civilization alliances, Huang Xing, acting as a third party, could collect intelligence on one hand, and on the other hand, guard against the Wandering Alliance’s sudden use of unknown weapons, which could trap the Square Clan completely. At least in such a scenario, it would ensure the existence of the combat power of a Constant Star Level Celestial Body within the Square Clan, preventing the Square Clan from being completely headless and retaining half of their retaliatory strength.

It could be said to be a perfectly executed plan.

The reason Huang Xing revealed their presence now was, of course, because they had obtained a clear understanding of the Wandering Alliance’s intelligence and had even acquired the Black Entropy Ball.

Moreover, in order not to arouse the Wandering Alliance’s suspicions, the originally similarly sized Double Stars decided to disrupt this equilibrium; Huang Xing absorbed more than two thousand Constant Star Masses from Huang Xing, making them appear less like a pair of Double Stars.

It’s clear that in order to eliminate the Wandering Alliance and seize the Celestial Body Capture Device, the Square Clan really went all out, sparing no effort!

And as the Square Clan Civilization’s strategies were fully unveiled, Lu Chen of the Constant Star realized that he had entered the trap of the Square Clan Civilization a long time ago. Despite maintaining a high level of vigilance, he had been outmaneuvered, and now the situation had become extremely dangerous!

If not handled properly, they might indeed meet their demise, ending their wandering journey.
