Wandering Meteor-Chapter 31 Pirate Civilization

After the Cosmic Battleship fleet was annihilated, Diamond Planet became unclaimed, occupied only by some mining robots still operational.

Lu Chen did not rush to scavenge the materials of Diamond Planet but first asked about the status of Wandering, "Wandering, how are you doing?"

"I've tried many times, some of the metal elements still can't fuse."

Wandering miserably reported to Lu Chen while floating next to a huge metal ball, with a few hundred-meter-long metal chunk floating beside it. The surface color of the metal chunk was different, clearly oxidized!

Lu Chen said impatiently, "Why are you so foolish?"

"Big Brother, I'm already wounded, why are you still scolding me?" Wandering replied with a grievance.

"Because you really are foolish!" Lu Chen said with a tough-love tone, "Have you forgotten how you initially transformed? By using the flow of energy!"

Lu Chen continued, "Oxidized metal is merely molecules formed through the covalent bonds between metal atoms and oxygen atoms. If you use the flow to destroy the covalent bonds in between, wouldn't that separate the oxygen and metal elements? Then you can use magnetic force to absorb them back into your body, right?"

Wandering, as if awoken from a dream, awkwardly laughed, "I panicked too much and forgot about that!"

While talking, Wandering immediately attempted it. He enveloped the oxidized metal, destroyed the covalent bonds using the flow, absorbed the metal atoms, and finally expelled a ball of oxygen out of his body.

"Big Brother, here, to thank you, I'll give you this ball of oxygen!"

Wandering sent the ball of oxygen into Lu Chen's atmosphere, completely aiming to please.

Lu Chen said impatiently, "So I was right to say you're foolish, right? Those Oxidation Bombs originally posed little threat to you, you just needed to put in a bit more effort to neutralize them."

With this, Lu Chen said with a mix of arrogance and jest: "However, don't think that by giving me oxygen, you're off the hook from the hard labor. You still need to bring back the rare metals and diamonds from Diamond Planet."

This was also why Lu Chen was not in a hurry to scavenge Diamond Planet.

His size and mass were too large, unlike Wandering who could transform, so only Wandering could be tasked with such laborious work.

However, before heading to Diamond Planet, Lu Chen first had Wandering absorb the remnants of the stationed Cosmic Battleships.

After Wandering absorbed all the wreckage, his size ballooned, reaching a diameter of over 8000 meters and a mass of 0.6 planetary mass.

Subsequently, Wandering, cheerful, flew towards Diamond Planet ready to bring back diamonds and rare metals.

Boom!

Just as Wandering was about to arrive at Diamond Planet, a hundred-meter-wide ion cannon suddenly shot out of the void. If Wandering hadn't dodged quickly enough, he would definitely have been blasted into smithereens.

"Who's there? Come out!"

Sensing a change in the situation, Lu Chen immediately shot a Molten Lava Ball towards the origin of the ion cannon.

He was perplexed; there was clearly no one there, and he hadn't sensed anything unusual. How could there be a sudden attack?

Moreover, the attack was different from that of the Yin Yang Star People, with clearly greater energy levels and power.

Lu Chen suddenly had an intuition that it didn't seem like a weapon that a First-level Civilization should possess.

"Bang!"

Indeed, the Molten Lava Ball Lu Chen shot exploded mysteriously mid-air, as if some force was hindering it.

Concurrently, a space that was previously invisible suddenly underwent transformations, gradually withdrawing its camouflage to reveal a Super Cosmic Battleship of one hundred thousand meters, its presence cold and formidable like a colossal beast of the universe, startling both Lu Chen and Wandering!

"How is this possible? Big Brother, how could we not have detected such a huge battleship?" Wandering retreated to Lu Chen's side, watchfully said.

Lu Chen spoke gravely, "It looks like they have mastered some sort of spatial invisibility technology."

"Could this be the Reinforcement Fleet from the Yin Yang Star People? Isn't it too large?" Wandering said in astonishment.

Lu Chen paused for a while before slowly saying, "No, observe carefully. The structure of this Super Battleship is unlike that of the Yin Yang Civilization. Moreover, the size of a civilization's manufactured battleship is closely related to its own Civilization Level and technology. With the level of the Yin Yang Civilization, it's clearly impossible for them to build such a large Super Battleship."

"Boss, you're right, I see it now, the creatures on that battleship are different from the Yin Yang Star People, they're not from the same civilization!" Wandering exclaimed.

Suddenly at that moment, a Consciousness Wave interrupted their communication, "No need to speculate further. We are right before you, you can ask us directly!"

"You can intercept our Consciousness Wave?" Lu Chen sent out a surprised Consciousness Wave.

"To be precise, we can detect your Consciousness Wave."

Lu Chen replied, "So you also possess Consciousness Particles?"

"No, we have just mastered the tools to detect Consciousness Waves, and the Consciousness Waves issued are also imitated."

Lu Chen queried, "Then, are you the Reinforcement Fleet of the Yin Yang Civilization?"

"Don't get it wrong, we have no relationship with that inferior First-level Civilization."

Lu Chen pressed on, "Then why did you attack us?"

"It's because that Diamond Planet is our target, you cannot meddle with it!"

Lu Chen rebutted, "We occupied it first, are you intending to seize it by force?"

"After answering so many questions for you, we have to collect some compensation after all, and that Diamond Planet is now ours, better for you to leave if you know what's good for you!"

It seems this was their reason!

Lu Chen scoffed, "You think you can easily defeat us?"

"Just a mere Planet-level Celestial Civilization, don't overestimate yourself. We are a third-level Civilization in the universe; we have even destroyed Constant Star Level civilizations before, what are you in comparison?"

Lu Chen challenged, "Third level civilization? What civilization are you?"

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, we are the mighty Pirate Civilization!"

Lu Chen responded, "Pirate Civilization? Is your Mother Star called Pirate Planet?"

"The universe is vast; there are many wonders that your tiny Planet cannot comprehend. You'll understand eventually, now stop wasting words. Hurry up and leave; if you keep questioning us, then we have to collect more interest, and I doubt you want to pay with that Metal Ball, do you?"

Lu Chen replied defiantly, "What if I don't agree?"

"Currently, you don't get a say in this. We saw everything during your recent war with the Yin Yang Civilization. We have all your intelligence; if you engage in battle, your defeat is assured. We are speaking to you like this only to avoid losses, hoping you would recognize the reality!"

"Then I'm sorry to disappoint you!"

Lu Chen declared sternly, "Wandering isn't going anywhere, neither is that Diamond Planet, and neither are you!"

In fact, Lu Chen knew very well that if the opposition really intended to talk, they wouldn't have used the ion cannon to ambush Wandering. Thankfully Wandering dodged in time, otherwise, he would have been history already, so there was no need for courtesy now!
