Wandering Meteor-Chapter 22: Uncontrolled Annihilation
Chapter 22 - 22: Uncontrolled Annihilation
Swish, swish...
299 Flow Base Bombs furiously launched towards Demon Star Lu Chen, marking the final valiant counterattack of the Iron Base Star.
Now, Lu Chen's stature had reached a monumental height of four hundred thousand meters, with a mass equivalent to 0.7 times that of a planet. His impact resistance was top-notch and, given the power of the Flow Base Bombs, they shouldn't pose much of a threat to him.
Of course, this was merely a hypothesis, and the definitive outcomes would only become clear afterwards.
However, Lu Chen had no intention of taking this risk, nor was there any need for him to. He still had offensive measures to counter the Flow Base Bombs!
That was the Annihilation Technology he acquired from absorbing the Binary Small Constant Stars. In truth, Lu Chen was quite curious about the power of annihilation and had long wanted to test it out—the perfect opportunity had now presented itself!
When he initially absorbed the Binary Small Constant Stars, Lu Chen preserved their two cores.
These were two dense masses of Electron Cloud, terrifyingly compact. Despite being only a hundred meters wide, each weighed over a hundred million tons. These two cores alone accounted for sixty percent of the mass of the Small Constant Star.
Previously, Lu Chen kept these two Electron Clouds bound within the stratosphere, positioned far apart from one another.
At this moment, he utilized Gravity to cause the positive and negative Electron Clouds to approach each other at high speed. The phenomena exhibited by these Electron Clouds were domineering; they tore apart any matter they encountered along the way, forcibly extracting electrons from within atomic nuclei to replenish their own mass and create pairs of positrons and electrons.
Zzzt!
The rapidly approaching Electron Clouds ejected positrons and electrons, which violently collided in the air, creating small-scale annihilation reactions.
However, the light emitted from the annihilation of positrons and electrons into photons was very faint, reminiscent of the starlight one sees when looking up at the night sky from Earth.
But as the two Electron Clouds got ever closer, the number of colliding positrons and electrons increased, and the scale of annihilation began to escalate rapidly, generating more and more photons with a linear increase in visible luminosity.
It was at this point that an unexpected accident occurred.
Since it was the first time Lu Chen employed the Annihilation Technique, he lacked experience. His control over the two Electron Clouds was insufficient, leading the scale of the annihilation to grow increasingly larger until it finally spiraled out of control. The two dense Electron Clouds themselves joined the annihilation reaction, and the energy released at that instant was terrifying, radiating outwards like ripples in the universe!
Boom!
The horrifying explosion erupted thunderously, with intense beams of light formed by photons firing off in all directions. Infinite Energy Waves rampaged, akin to a small-scale Big Bang!
The explosion was immensely terrifying; the energy released was much greater than that of the two hundred thousand Gold-Resistant Nuclear Bombs the Iron Base Star had detonated in an attempt to destroy the Small Constant Star. If calculated using the power of a single Gold-Resistant Nuclear Bomb, at least five million bombs would be required to barely match the force of this explosion.
Hence, one could imagine just how fearsome the 100% mass-energy conversion rate of annihilation could be!
Such a terrifying explosion naturally resulted in irreparable severe consequences, especially for the several celestial bodies that were closest.
In this explosion, the entire planetary surface of the Iron Base Star was violently stripped away layer by layer, with hundreds of meters thick of Earth's crust material being blasted into outer space.
Even the rotation and revolution of the Iron Base Star were affected by the explosion. Its rotation paused for a moment, and its orbital path shifted by tens of thousands of kilometers.
And the Iron Base Civilization that lived on the Iron Base Star was completely obliterated in this explosion, not a single trace or spark of civilization left behind.
As for the Flow Base Bombs, they were designed to break molecular covalent bonds, but electrons and photons are subatomic particles, which the Flow Base Bombs couldn't affect. They were dispersed by the shockwave before even reaching the surface of the asteroid.
Moreover, the Iron Base Star originally had three satellites, two of which were captured by the Iron Base Civilization later, but all were blown away in this explosion, breaking free from the gravitational bondage of the Iron Base Star. Two of the satellites, being small in size and close to the center of the explosion, were torn apart by the shockwave into several pieces and hurled into the vast universe.
In this annihilation explosion, Lu Chen also inevitably sustained some damage.
Fortunately, he did not aim the annihilation at himself to begin with, so he was only affected by the expanding shockwave and not as severely as the Iron Base Star.
Now the surface of the asteroid was pockmarked and scarred. Newly formed lakes, mountains, volcanoes, and other landforms had all been destroyed.
Keep in mind that the asteroid had been compressed multiple times by Lu Chen, making its density much greater than that of ordinary asteroids, even planets, but it was still damaged to such a state in the explosion, which shows how terrifying the explosion was. Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a little frightened afterwards. It seemed that he had to practice his annihilation skills more in the future, otherwise, he could bring disaster upon himself!
"Having put in so much effort, it's also time to reap some interest!"
At this moment, Lu Chen saw some fragments of the Iron Base Star's satellite flying towards him, and he unceremoniously controlled the gravity to collect them all.
After completely absorbing those two shattered satellites of the Iron Base Star, his mass finally reached the standard mass of a planet!
However, due to the large size and varied shapes of the fragments, his surface was very uneven, so he immediately controlled the gravity to compress the planet again. Ultimately, his size stabilized at around 700,000 meters, and his gravitational range reached 1,500,000 meters. The three-layer structure of the planet's crust, mantle, and core was also fully developed, giving it the appearance of a genuine planet, with the core temperature reaching over 4,000 degrees.
His title should change from Asteroid Lu Chen to Planet Lu Chen now!
"Wandering, are you alright?"
Planet Lu Chen remembered Wandering and quickly sent out a Consciousness Wave.

"Big brother, don't worry, I'm fine. When the explosion happened, I hid behind you!" Wandering smartly replied.
Only then did Lu Chen breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at the unrecognizable Iron Base Star, he said with regret, "It's a pity, you didn't get to acquire Gold-Resistant. Your avatar was just about to enter my gravitational range!"
"Big brother, what I want to tell you is, my avatar is fine!" Wandering cheerfully said.
Lu Chen asked in surprise, "How is that possible? I clearly saw..."
Wandering interjected, "Big brother, don't forget, I originally possess Flow Base myself, so I can freely change covalent bonds. How would their Flow Base Bombs work on me? Even if they destroyed the original covalent bonds, I can completely reshape them. This kind of special weapon is a lethal blow to ordinary material, but for me, it doesn't really do anything!"
"Oh, I did forget about that. What about your No. 1 avatar then?" Lu Chen had been worried and confused.
Wandering replied, "While you were using Annihilation, I had the No. 1 avatar merge with me directly in an atomic state. I also got the Gold-Resistant material, and now I should be able to withstand temperatures around 6,000 degrees!"
With the absorption of Gold-Resistant material and Flow Base brought back by the No. 1 avatar, Wandering's diameter now increased to 800 meters!
