Wandering Meteor-Chapter 251 - 250: The Battle Intensifies

Gaseous Nebula.

After discovering that the Wandering Alliance escaped through the gap in the defense line, Square Clan Civilization immediately held urgent discussions.

Square Clan Star said, "How come the Constant Star of the Wandering Alliance has disappeared? It’s impossible for it to just vanish into thin air. Could it be that the Wandering Alliance has also mastered space wormhole technology?"

Constant Star Haoxing said, "I think that’s unlikely. If they really had mastered wormhole technology, they should have escaped together. But now they are fleeing separately, which suggests that they want to delay our pursuit efficiency."

Constant Star Hanxing said, "I also believe it’s impossible for them to control wormhole technology; otherwise, they would have used it to cross this nebula earlier. As for the true reason behind the disappearance of that Constant Star, I think it has to do with the Celestial Body Capture Device. They must have this kind of weapon, which can accommodate a Constant Star without being detected by us."

"If that’s the case, then he must have entered the Celestial Body Capture Device to devour the Huang Xing of Earth Core Alliance. This appears to be their reliance, but at the same time, it’s an opportunity for us. As long as we get hold of the Celestial Body Capture Device first, we could effortlessly control him and annihilate the Wandering Alliance!" Based on the current intelligence, Constant Star Haoxing quickly analyzed the purpose of the Wandering Alliance.

Square Clan Star agreed, "That makes sense indeed. It also explains why only that Constant Star has disappeared while the remaining Battle Stars are fleeing separately. It seems they are not just trying to delay us, they also want to confuse us, preventing us from determining the exact location of the Celestial Body Capture Device on that Battle Star."

"If they really think that way, then it just shows how naive they are."

Constant Star Haoxing sneered, "Such tactics might work on lower-level civilizations, but they are meaningless to us. We have a large number of Battle Stars and have mastered space wormhole technology, which allows us to easily catch up with them. None of their Battle Stars can escape; we have plenty of time to search for the whereabouts of the Celestial Body Capture Device!"

Although he said this, Constant Star Haoxing was very cautious in his heart. He immediately dispatched teams of three Battle Stars each to pursue the eight fleeing Battle Stars of the Wandering Alliance, determined to capture all of the Wandering Alliance’s Battle Stars. Furthermore, to deal with the chaos caused by three Battle Stars damaged in the explosion, Constant Star Haoxing specifically ordered soldiers of the Square Clan Civilization to seize those three Battle Stars and gather more intelligence data on the Wandering Alliance.

Thus, the war between the Wandering Alliance and Square Clan Civilization entered its second phase, which was an intense phase.

The battle went from an initial stalemate to one side engaging in a chase to capture, while the other side defended on the damaged Battle Stars.

Since the Constant Star Lu Chen had found Earth and formed a life union, they had not been formally invaded by any alien civilization. The last invasion by a Parasitic Civilization was done by exploiting a loophole, not a direct confrontation. However, this time with Battle Stars six, seven, and eight immobile, the residents and soldiers on board could only firmly hold their ground and fend off the invasion by the soldiers of the Square Clan Civilization, reflecting just how dire the situation was!

Compared to the immobilized three Battle Stars, the situation of the other fleeing Battle Stars was also very grave.

Currently, each Battle Star was being pursued by a squad of three Battle Stars belonging to the Square Clan Civilization. The Square Clan’s Battle Stars had mastered wormhole technology and could use wormholes to jump in front of the fleeing ships to blockade them, turning the chase into an unfavorable battle of encirclement.

Eventually, of the eight fleeing Battle Stars, apart from Metal Planet Wandering, which relied on its strong abilities of splitting and transforming to counter-kill the two chasing Battle Stars, the other seven Battle Stars (including Earth Battle Star and Green Star Battle Star) had their equipment destroyed and were then taken control of by the pursuing three Battle Stars. The entire Battle Stars were brought back within the Gaseous Nebula.

Constant Star Haoxing exclaimed in surprise, "I underestimated that Metal Planet. After all, it is a Celestial Civilization and even possesses splitting and transformation technologies, similar to the Battle Stars of Metal Civilization. Sending only three Battle Stars was indeed underestimating it, and I should dispatch more Battle Stars, or perhaps I should take matters into my own hands."

"Considering that the combat strength of that Metal Planet is the strongest among them, I speculate that the Celestial Body Capture Device must be on it. Let’s take action together to quickly secure the Celestial Body Capture Device, otherwise, if the opponent absorbs Huang Xing, it will pose a threat to all of us!" Constant Star Hanxing said.

Constant Star Haoxing said, "No rush, we have so many prisoners in our hands, we can pressure him first and see how he decides."

Immediately, the Square Clan Civilization sent a message via the captured Earth Battle Star to Wandering, stating that if Lu Chen did not return to surrender obediently and offer the Celestial Body Capture Device, they would kill all the prisoners of the Wandering Alliance. This type of killing wasn’t just about taking lives, which was too slow and troublesome; they would directly destroy the entire Battle Star, leaving no loose ends.

Upon receiving the message, Wandering angrily said, "Damn it, this Square Clan Civilization is utterly despicable, Big Brother, what do you think we should do now?"

...

Inside the Celestial Body Capture Device.

Constant Star Lu Chen’s Constant Star Body had already fused with Huang Xing’s Constant Star Body by more than half, and their consciousness fields had also merged together, thus officially triggering a massive Intention battle.

Constant Star Huang Xing had long harbored bone-deep hatred for Constant Star Lu Chen and now mocked him crazily, "Haha, you cunning villain, now you have fallen into difficult times. You know too little about the Square Clan Civilization, not realizing they have a Double Star System. In fact, I knew long ago that it was Hàn Xīng disguised as a Wandering Star, but I just didn’t tell you, deliberately letting you fall into the trap. Watching this has been very satisfying for me, haha!"

"How much longer do you think you can be smug?"

Constant Star Lu Chen couldn’t be bothered to say more, directly controlling his massive tide of Intentions, rushing towards Huang Xing.

One could see Constant Star Lu Chen’s Intentions like massive ocean waves, crashing towards Huang Xing. As they moved forward, those numerous Intentions seemed to mutate with Lu Chen’s emotions, transforming into knives, spears, swords, sticks, and myriad beasts. It was an infinite army with overwhelming momentum, charging at Huang Xing.

Huang Xing was fighting back with all his might, but as his number of Intentions was less than Lu Chen’s, he quickly became utterly scattered and disorganized.

However, at this moment, Constant Star Lu Chen received an important message from Wandering. The Square Clan Civilization was actually threatening them with the lives of the prisoners.

"Heh heh, let’s see what you do now? You consider yourself smart, but you’re still at the mercy of the Square Clan Civilization!" Although Huang Xing was now miserably retreating into the corner of the consciousness field, he didn’t miss the chance to mock Lu Chen. His hatred for Lu Chen had even surpassed the value he placed on his own life.

Constant Star Lu Chen remained very calm, not paying any attention to Huang Xing’s mockery, anyway, there would soon be a way to vent his frustration on him.

Right now, the most important issue was dealing with the threat of the Square Clan Civilization. Constant Star Lu Chen instructed Wandering to relay to the Square Clan Civilization that they would be willing to negotiate regarding the prisoners but refused to surrender.

In truth, Lu Chen could completely disregard Earth Civilization and Light Synthesis Civilization, allowing Wandering to flee with the Celestial Body Capture Device. However, since the Solar System, Lu Chen had always targeted Earth and Earth Civilization, which had taken deep root in his heart, and it was fundamentally difficult for him to give up easily now. Moreover, having wandered and struggled together for so long, they had grown accustomed to each other’s presence. If they suddenly returned to the state before liberation, becoming isolated orbs like him and Wandering, it would undoubtedly be a defeat and setback. Therefore, he would do everything possible to protect the companions of his life community.

Upon receiving the message, the Square Clan Civilization quickly agreed to the negotiation.

However, what neither Constant Star Lu Chen nor the Square Clan Civilization expected was that at this moment, an unexpected dramatic change occurred at the scene!
