Wandering Meteor-Chapter 14: The Name of the Demon Star

Lu Chen frantically spun the massive asteroid, creating a cosmic tornado.

And he was the eye of the tornado, as immense gravity extended outward, absorbing all the dust and matter within a radius of 500,000 meters, rapidly increasing his own mass.

In a short while, his mass had grown to a diameter of 300,000 meters!

The dust cloud generated by the explosion of those 200,000 Gold-Resistant Nuclear Bombs was massive; after being completely absorbed by him, it became the main material for his size increase.

Secondarily, the enormous amount of Hydrogen that was scattered upon the collision with the Small Constant Star was escaping in all directions, which he captured; a part of this high-temperature Hydrogen became a thin atmosphere, the denser Hydrogen merged into the ground, and some combined with Oxygen to form lakes in various depressions!

Sources of water began to emerge on the surface of the asteroid, a cause for celebration!

However, before Lu Chen could rejoice, he perceived something that seemed to have breached the interior of the asteroid.

......

On Iron Base Star, there was an eerie silence.

Although the weather was not particularly cold, every Iron Base person felt an unprecedented chill!

What occurred today had completely overturned their world view, even the hosts and guests who had been talking incessantly during the live broadcast were now shivering and speechless.

After all, who could have imagined that an asteroid could disperse a Small Constant Star.

Logically speaking, since the asteroid helped the Iron Base people disintegrate the Small Constant Star, resolving this crisis, they should have been happy, but they couldn't bring themselves to feel any joy.

Because seeing the asteroid spinning as if it had life, absorbing the surrounding interstellar material, thoroughly overturned their world view and the knowledge they held, instilling them with fear!

Moreover, while the asteroid absorbed interstellar material, it continued to hurtle towards Iron Base Star.

It was a case of one trouble following another; the Small Constant Star crisis had just been resolved, only for the asteroid crisis to arrive immediately after, a pain so suffocating it rendered people breathless!

"The end of the world has truly come!"

"We were completely wrong, we originally thought that asteroid was just a satellite of the Small Constant Star, but it's not only absorbed the Small Constant Star, which is not the behavior of a normal asteroid, it must be a Demon Star with life, posing a greater threat than the Small Constant Star, it's the real BOSS!"

"If this Demon Star truly has life, we definitely cannot contend with it; it would be best for us to submit!"

"Perhaps it's not an asteroid at all, the asteroid is just its outward appearance, in reality, it is a vessel of an Advanced Civilization, do you still remember the Metal Ball we observed? That Metal Ball must be the vanguard of this Advanced Civilization; this would explain everything!"

"..."

While the public was embroiled in heated discussions, the supreme command center of Iron Base Star also rapidly came up with responses.

Iron Star Lord, Iron Army Marshal, and other high-ranking leaders swiftly proposed various possibilities and response measures, and ultimately for the sake of safety, Iron Star Lord first ordered the Hope Battleship to send out communication waves, attempting to establish contact with the Demon Star, while also having scientists recalculate the Demon Star's trajectory and speed.

The calculation results showed.

The trajectory of the Demon Star overlapped with that of Iron Base Star, meaning a collision was still imminent.

This forced them to quickly devise a response as the Demon Star entered the star system, the situation growing increasingly perilous!

Even though they had experience capturing asteroids, that was only in dealing with ordinary asteroids, not such a peculiar Demon Star.

At this moment, the Hope Battleship sent back a message.

They had attempted to send over a hundred communication signals, but the Demon Star remained unresponsive, making it uncertain whether the Demon Star hosted life or was a flying vessel of an Advanced Civilization.

However, the Hope Battleship detected the signal of the expedition fleet's black box on the Demon Star, which meant that the expedition fleet had indeed crashed on this Demon Star!

A tale sealed five hundred years ago unexpectedly surfaced before everyone's eyes.

Five hundred years ago, after the expedition fleet tasked with exploring the Universe sent back a message saying "Encountered a mysterious Small Constant Star, requesting support," there was no further news.

The Iron Army Marshal conducted an in-depth investigation but was never able to uncover the truth. In the end, the matter was left unresolved. When this news broke out, there were even voices in society questioning the incompetence of the Iron Base Government.

"Since there's no response, it means they intend no communication; they might be targeting us directly. It seems this war is inevitable."

"We must fight to survive!!"

New grievances combined with old enmity left the Iron Star Lord with no other choices.

Moreover, the stance between the Iron Base Star and this Demon Star was determined already five hundred years ago.

The Iron Star Lord immediately ordered the Hope Battleship to launch the last hundred thousand Gold-Resistant Nuclear Bombs at the Demon Star, to destroy this peculiar star. Whether it is a Demon Star or a vessel of an Advanced Civilization, it surely will not withstand the explosive power of a hundred thousand Gold-Resistant Nuclear Bombs.

This is unlike the battle against the Small Constant Stars.

As Small Constant Stars are themselves extremely hot, Gold-Resistant Nuclear Bombs cannot approach too closely and can only be detonated at the maximum distance.

However, there are far fewer concerns with this Demon Star; nuclear bombs can be used directly against its body, shattering it in one fell swoop!

At this very moment.

Lu Chen was completely unaware of the external situation because his attention was all on the confrontation with the twin Small Constant Stars.

It turned out that when he dispersed the twin Small Constant Stars, the Consciousness Particles of the twins took the opportunity to enter his body.

Right now, he needed to first address the threat of the twin Small Constant Stars' Consciousness Particles and temporarily had no capacity to concern himself with outer events.

"Dammit, I'm going all out against you!"

As the twin Small Constant Stars delivered a dying counterattack, their Consciousness Particles vibrated wildly, forming a terrifying wave of particle storms that rushed towards Lu Chen.

"Heh heh, I'm quite happy to strike down a brat like you who lacks self-awareness and still thinks it's an honor for your victim to be killed by you."

Lu Chen possessed more Consciousness Particles than the Small Constant Star and was not afraid of its onslaught. He controlled his vast Consciousness Particles to surround and slowly exterminate the Small Constant Star's Consciousness Particles.

After forcefully erasing the imprints inside the Small Constant Star's Consciousness Particles, the Small Constant Star completely vanished from the Universe, and those Consciousness Particles naturally became his possessions.

This caused his Consciousness Particles to almost double in size instantaneously.

Only at this moment did he realize that Consciousness Particles could also grow in this manner, as if a new door had been opened for him!

If one could directly seize the Consciousness Particles of others, this growth rate would certainly be much faster than converting Cosmic Rays.

Of course, that presupposes the presence of Consciousness Particles, but the reality is that celestial bodies capable of producing Consciousness Particles are as rare as planets that harbor intelligent life.

Having roamed the Universe for so long, he had only encountered the twin Small Constant Stars.
