Wandering Meteor-Chapter 158 - 157: The Moment of the Final Battle
Chapter 158: Chapter 157: The Moment of the Final Battle
Originally, during the process when Lu Chen of Constant Star was absorbing the newborn star.
The entire Wandering Star System had been exerting all its effort to guard against the sudden attacks of the Entropy Beast, striving to buy more time for Lu Chen.
However, having lost the restraint of Lu Chen’s neutrino superbeam, only the Space Shock used by the Pirate Civilization in the Wandering Star System could pose a threat to the Entropy Beast.
This made the Entropy Beast less wary, but increased the peril for the Wandering Star System considerably.
Therefore, during the prolonged siege and defense, the ever-strategizing Entropy Beast finally found an opportunity to use a wormhole to arrive near Earth, and with a gaping maw, headed straight for Earth to devour it!
The reason Earth was regarded as the primary target for devouring was that the Entropy Beast detected that Earth was gathering all the scientific teams from every civilization; Earth could be said to be the center of intelligence, scientific research, and command within the Wandering Star System, making it a very logical primary target for consumption.
Boom!
However, at this critical juncture, suddenly a neutrino superbeam, six thousand kilometers in diameter, blasted forth.
After its system detected the threat of the neutrino superbeam, the Entropy Beast immediately retreated, wisely giving up on devouring Earth. If it had forcibly consumed, it would have definitely been hit by the neutrino superbeam first.
And thus, Earth narrowly escaped catastrophe.
The people on Earth, having survived the ordeal, completely exhaled in relief, feeling immensely grateful to Father Sun.
Because they were very clear that an attack of that energy level could only be initiated by a Constant Star Celestial Civilization; among them, only Lu Chen was capable of this feat.
They did indeed guess correctly; the neutrino superbeam was indeed fired by Lu Chen. freewёbnoνel.com
At that time, just as Lu Chen had finished absorbing the newborn star and his Constant Star Mass reached 2,390, seeing the Entropy Beast daring to target Earth, he thus directly fired the neutrino superbeam.
After repelling the Entropy Beast.
Lu Chen did not rush to launch the next attack, but instead discussed with the civilizations within the anti-entropy alliance.
Because his current Constant Star Mass had reached a new height, and Gravity Strength also met the requirements, they needed to plan how to successfully kill the Entropy Beast.
This was also the reason why Lu Chen had not used the Gravity Wave weapon just now.
Because the Gravity Wave was his biggest trump card at present; if used carelessly, allowing the Entropy Beast to gain intelligence on it, the effectiveness of that trump card would be greatly reduced.
After some discussion, the remaining three civilizations of the anti-entropy alliance decided on the plan for the killing blow.
Their biggest trump card now was the Gravity Wave, so naturally, everything was planned based on the premise of the Gravity Wave. Coupled with the intelligence they had previously collected, knowing that the core of the Entropy Beast was not located in the head but in the middle position, they planned to unite all civilizations in a frenzied bombardment on the Entropy Beast, diverting its attention. Lu Chen would then look for an opportunity to use the Gravity Wave to destroy the core of the Entropy Beast in one fell swoop, completely killing it.
The plan was actually very simple, without too much scheming or calculation.
Because facing the Entropy Beast, a colossal being with mechanical systems, the intelligence they possessed was not much; too much guessing and planning were pointless, instead, a straightforward and forceful approach would be more effective.
It was only after the assassination plan was finalized that the real signal for a counterattack was sounded.
All civilizations had long tuned their weapons and equipment and stood ready, waiting for the Entropy Beast to reappear.
Not long after.
On the traveling route of the Wandering Star System, the Pirate Civilization detected fluctuations from a spatial node.
According to past experience, they knew that was where the Entropy Beast would soon emerge, so they did not hinder and allowed the wormhole to form properly.
After the wormhole was formed, the colossal Entropy Beast flew straight out of it, heading towards the Wandering Star System.
As soon as the spatial node was discovered, the Wandering Star System had already halted, quietly waiting in the universe for the arrival of the Entropy Beast.
Moments later, in the vastness of space.
A half-astronomical-unit long Entropy Beast stood majestically, its blood-red eyes coldly focused on the advancing Wandering Star System.
At this moment, the Wandering Star System was slowly rotating, radiating bright light as if it had donned a blazing suit of battle armor, with every civilization within brimming with war spirit!
"Fire!"
As soon as the Entropy Beast entered a range of one astronomical unit, Lu Chen immediately issued the command.
In this instant, all the cosmic battleships, planet flying devices, and space ships of every civilization launched their highest energy level attacks simultaneously.
After being continuously pursued by the Entropy Beast, the stifled rage in everyone’s heart seemed to be fully vented at this moment, fiercely shot towards the Entropy Beast.
Boom! Boom!
The attacks consisted of energy attacks and a small proportion of physical weapon attacks, coloring the cosmos with bright lights once more, like cosmic fireworks cast by all civilizations into space, creating a more grandiose and stunning spectacle than before.
From afar, it looked as if God had left behind a magnificent and dazzling color oil painting in the universe!
These converging attacks made for a once-in-a-millennium sight and were extremely spectacular.
But it’s a pity that as far as the power of the weapons was concerned, they were still too weak to pose any threat to the Entropy Beast, which measured eight thousand kilometers in diameter. Many of the attacks, including energy attacks and physical weapons, were repelled by the neutron skin on the surface of the Entropy Beast without leaving so much as a spark.
It was as if a thousand arrows were shot fiercely at a steel plate, leaving not even a trace.
Despite the desperate situation, the people didn’t have too many thoughts.
They had long understood the terror of the Entropy Beast, with its attack centered on the unified force, and knew their attacks wouldn’t have much effect; they were merely to provide cover, so everyone, without hesitation, launched their highest energy level attacks again.
Faced with the second round of bombardment, the eyes of the Entropy Beast remained icy and blood-red!
In the next moment, the Entropy Beast quickly moved its serpentine head, darting like lightning towards the Wandering Star System up ahead.
The attacks that came head-on were all ignored by the Entropy Beast. After hitting the neutron skin, they were once again repelled, and many reflected energy attacks hit nearby asteroids, causing violent explosions!
"Now it’s our turn to take action!"
Upon seeing the Entropy Beast approach, the Pirate Civilization fired a three thousand kilometer neutrino beam and the strongest spatial shock without delay.
The neutrino beam shot straight towards the central position of the Entropy Beast, aiming to assist Lu Chen in further pinpointing the core; whereas the spatial shock, mixed with other attacks from cosmic battleships, aimed from the front at the Entropy Beast, primarily to delay and slow down the excessive velocity of the Entropy Beast.
For the Entropy Beast’s maximum speed could reach three times the speed of light, and that’s without considering the traversing through wormholes.
If they did not figure out a way to reduce the velocity of the Entropy Beast, given only their weapon technology, it would likely be very difficult to defeat the Entropy Beast.
