Wandering Meteor-Chapter 256 - 255 Uninvited Guest

"Big brother, what do we do now?"

Wandering saw that nine of the Li Eagle Squadron’s Battle Stars had left, with only one remaining, so it hurriedly inquired Constant Star Lu Chen.

Constant Star Lu Chen, still lurking within the Celestial Body Capture Device, replied: "Although this seems like an opportunity, it is not a true one, we still need to wait. Moreover, the battle between a Level 4 Civilization and a Black Hole-level Celestial Civilization is very valuable to observe, and it might help our technology, allowing the Wandering Alliance’s science team to pay attention to data collection. If the time comes, I will notify you."

Wandering: "Okay, I got it."

Suddenly, Lu Chen spoke again: "By the way, have you felt something strange around us?"

"No, what exactly are you referring to, big brother?" Wandering was puzzled.

"It doesn’t matter if you haven’t felt it; it may be my misperception or perhaps a psychological effect from staying inside the Celestial Body Capture Device for too long."

Since returning to the space of the Star Realm Ball, Constant Star Lu Chen had been feeling something odd, as though he was being watched by something. He couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but the feeling had suddenly arisen in his heart. However, after asking Wandering and finding it had no such feelings, Lu Chen began to believe it was just because he had stayed inside the Celestial Body Capture Device for too long and had been constantly observed by outsiders, causing him to feel this way.

In fact, Constant Star Lu Chen’s feeling was not wrong.

At this moment, both the Square Clan Civilization and the Shell Clan Civilization had turned their attention to the Wandering Alliance, especially towards their target—the Celestial Body Capture Device. But from the previous war, they only knew that the device should be in the hands of Metal Planet Wandering, without knowing its exact location, so they were constantly using their equipment to surveil Metal Planet Wandering’s situation.

However, they dared not act too conspicuously, considering there was still a Battle Star from the Li Eagle Squadron present.

And they had too little intelligence on the Metal Civilization; they were even unaware of the charge time, attack range, and usage restrictions of the ultimate weapon—Absolute Zero Domain—used by the Li Eagle Squadron. Thus, they were also waiting for the best opportunity, just like Lu Chen.

...

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

After a brief standoff, the Li Eagle Squadron immediately began battle with the Black Hole-level Celestial Civilization.

Driven by the inner urge to grow, the Black Hole-level Celestial Civilization, ravenous like a starving beast, launched a Gravitational Wave Attack at the approaching Li Eagle Squadron.

Despite the black hole’s gravity far exceeding a strength of 300,000, when the Gravitational Wave got close to the Li Eagle Squadron, it was forcibly absorbed by the opposing equipment, causing the attack to fail before it had truly begun.

Meanwhile, other civilizations of the Wandering Alliance watching from afar witnessed the technology capable of directly absorbing and neutralizing Gravitational Wave Attacks for the first time, spontaneously using their most advanced equipment to observe.

However, regrettably, they did not obtain any useful data in the end.

Still, they speculated that it must have something to do with a higher form of Unified Force.

After all, only a more advanced Unified Force could dissolve a Gravitational Wave Attack so effortlessly.

And upon the battlefield.

Having neutralized the Gravitational Wave, the Li Eagle Squadron quickly launched a counterattack.

They did not waste time probing and instead, launched the ultimate attack, Absolute Zero Domain, aiming for a fatal blow.

Otherwise, the longer they delayed, the more the black hole would impact the Star Realm Ball.

A transparent film was deployed by the first Battle Star of the Li Eagle Squadron, which soared towards the black hole.

Last time, Constant Star Lu Chen and others were too late to carefully observe the attack process of the Absolute Zero Domain; this time, traces captured by the Superluminal Detector revealed that the transparent film, as it flew and expanded in the dark space, resembled an elegant jellyfish swimming in the sea.

Of course, this spectacle was only visible when slowed down hundreds of thousands of times.

In reality, as the transparent film expanded while flying, it enveloped the black hole in a blink of an eye, like a miniature baby universe.

Even the duration of its entrapment was shorter than when it killed the Constant Star Haoxing.

Because although the black hole was massive, it was much smaller than a medium-mass star in size, and the Absolute Zero Domain was perfectly suited to attack such spatial volumes.

However, what the Li Eagle Squadron and other forces like the Wandering Alliance did not anticipate was this.

After the Absolute Zero Domain had enveloped the black hole, it did not cleanly eradicate it like it did the Constant Star; although the outer black hole material came to a static disappearance, the core material still maintained faint vibrations.

Unexpectedly, the always triumphant ultimate weapon suddenly became ineffective!

The Li Eagle Squadron was shocked. They hadn’t expected that the core vibrational energy of the black hole could resist the binding of the Absolute Zero Domain and even faintly showed signs of breaking free.

To prevent the black hole from escaping, the Li Eagle Squadron immediately ordered the other eight Battle Stars to also deploy the Absolute Zero Domain, layering them one on top of another outside the black hole, and with the initial layer, a total of nine layers of Absolute Zero Domain Energy Levels stacked, no matter how great the energy of the black hole core was, it would be impossible to resist.

Indeed, as predicted, under the stack of nine layers of the Absolute Zero Domain, the struggling black hole inside suddenly vanished, as if a clump of black sesame seeds had burst open, and finally disappeared completely from the universe.

At the moment of the disappearance of the black hole with over three billion Constant Star Mass, a flowback of Space Waves occurred, created by the space distortions from the mass of the black hole restoring—spreading out in all directions of the universe in a circular fashion.

Normally, having successfully eliminated their ultimate target, the Li Eagle Squadron should be jubilant.

However, the reality was that the Li Eagle Squadron was grave and serious because they detected two unexpected issues during this battle.

The first was the energy at the core of the black hole; the fact that it could resist the Absolute Zero Domain clearly exceeded the known limits of a Black Hole-level Celestial Civilization.

Having clashed with many Black Hole-level Celestial Civilizations, the Li Eagle Squadron was aware of the general situation; typical colossal black holes were not supposed to withstand the Absolute Zero Domain. This might confirm the headquarters’ scientists’ speculation—this might indeed be a life granted by a Level 5 Civilization, hence the extra energy.

The second issue was that after eliminating the black hole, their sense of crisis only increased.

This peculiar situation was the first encounter for the battle-hardened Li Eagle Squadron; they trust their combat intuition, and their sense of imminent danger definitely originated from a nearby threat.

No sooner had the Li Eagle Squadron realized this, they detected an anomaly in the space ahead; a massive Space Wormhole quickly formed and out drilled an enormous, bizarrely large tree, rooting and sprouting atop the fabric of space, a sight stunning beyond belief!
