Wandering Meteor-Chapter 159 - 158: Neutrino Superbeam

The second round of attacks launched by the Entropy Alliance swept towards the Entropy Beast like cosmic gales and tsunamis.

Originally, between the Entropy Beast and the Entropy Alliance, there were many dust particles and meteoritic material. However, after the two rounds of energy attacks, they were basically shattered into smaller particles that flew at high speed into cosmic space, forming a significant particle storm.

This particle storm continued relentlessly, seemingly becoming the backdrop of this grand battle.

Against this backdrop, the intensity of the battle heightened with the attacks of the Entropy Beast and the Entropy Alliance rapidly closing in.

Since both parties were already moving quickly and in opposite directions, the mere astronomical distance between them was covered in a flash, culminating in a resounding collision.

Confronted by the overwhelming energy attacks, the Entropy Beast’s decision differed from the first round; it no longer ignored the offense, as it detected two attacks that could damage it.

Thus, the Entropy Beast opened its massive jaws as if a Peng bird swallowing the sea and devoured all incoming attacks, including the neutrino beams, whole, then quickly neutralized and decomposed them using the Unified Force Field.

Nonetheless, a space shock is not a conventional attack and cannot be directly swallowed. So, the Entropy Beast used the Unified Force to create constant spatial fluctuations around its body to counter the space shocks from the Pirate Civilization.

Meanwhile, as the Entropy Beast rapidly moved, the spatial fluctuations around it swiftly followed suit. Any life that came into contact with it was instantaneously shattered and killed by these spatial waves.

Unexpectedly, this was an integrated attack and defense of continuous spatial fluctuations.

On the one hand, it could guard against the space shocks utilized by the Pirate Civilization. On the other, as it swiftly approached civilizations or Cosmic Battleships of the Entropy Alliance, it could use the ongoing space shock waves to annihilate its entropy reduction targets, killing two birds with one stone.

However, maintaining spatial fluctuations within a specific frequency and range for a long time is highly energy-consuming and technically demanding.

After all, to establish a continuous area of space shock waves, first and foremost, one must ensure the waves do not affect oneself, as that would be suicidal.

Moreover, while keeping the spatial shock wave zone within a certain range, the frequency of the spatial shock waves must remain under control; otherwise, they could easily become unstable and turn towards oneself.

As a third-level civilization, the Pirate Civilization was well aware of the difficulties involved. Technical bottlenecks aside, even considering the total energy of their Planet Flying Devices, full dedication would only sustain a mere minute’s worth of power.

One can imagine the tremendous energy required to alter spatial properties.

Therefore, the space shocks used by the Pirate Civilization were not continuous but instantaneously shocked space to a certain frequency, then utilized the inertia of the shock to attack the enemy.

Unexpectedly, the Entropy Beast at hand could easily employ this technique, indeed worthy of being a product of Advanced Civilization.

At this moment, due to the Entropy Beast’s sudden change in tactics, the Entropy Alliance was also forced to alter theirs.

Initially, Lu Chen from Constant Star sought to conduct a battle of positions, using a barrage of attacks to encircle the Entropy Beast for an opportunity. However, as it donned Space Shock Armor, they could not afford to be touched by the space shock zone, and so they were forced to change their battle strategy.

This was also why Lu Chen and his group were initially reluctant to concoct complicated plans.

Because their understanding of the Entropy Beast was indeed insufficient, with every change in the Entropy Beast’s tactics, they could only adapt accordingly. Thus, complicated plans were pointless.

Right now, plans couldn’t keep up with changes; improvisation was paramount.

As Lu Chen from Constant Star led the entire Wandering Star System to retreat and dodge, he once again ordered all Cosmic Battleships and Planet Flying Devices of the Entropy Alliance to launch a fierce assault.

This time, even Lu Chen himself took action.

Because the current situation was not as optimistic as imagined, if Lu Chen didn’t join in, these civilizations probably wouldn’t hold out.

What Lu Chen used was a neutrino superbeam; his mass had now increased to 2390 Constant Star Masses, and the amount of neutrinos he emitted every moment was about half more than before. If he exerted his full strength, the energy level of the neutrino superbeam could also be increased by about half.

Boom!

At this moment, with the aid of the celestial magnetic field, Lu Chen from Constant Star launched a neutrino superbeam at the highest energy level.

The moment the neutrino superbeam tore through the Dark Universe, a dazzling blue light streaked across as if a blue-hued new Constant Star was born, causing utter shock among those present!

What shocked everyone even more was that the energy level of this neutrino superbeam reached about ten thousand kilometers. Before, the limit of Lu Chen’s usage was six thousand kilometers, and it was unthinkable that after absorbing a Constant Star, the energy level of the neutrino superbeam grew by nearly half!

This diameter was almost as wide as Earth.

Imagine an Earth-sized energy attack shooting towards you; the mere thought was despairing.

Although the scientists on Earth had anticipated this, the sight still stunned them beyond words.

In fact, it wasn’t just these scientists; many ordinary people on Earth were also very shocked. They had thought they fully understood the gap between Celestial Civilization and biological civilization.

Yet, when they saw the ten thousand kilometer-thick neutrino superbeam, they realized that the gap between Celestial Civilization and biological civilization might be much greater than they had imagined.

From the perspective of the Universe, when that ten thousand kilometer-thick neutrino superbeam was fired, the blue glow illuminated a sector of the Universe like a blue galaxy being formed. The mere energy of this single neutrino superbeam was more terrifying than the total attacks of all other Cosmic Battleships and Planet Flying Devices combined. Its devastating blue might easily overpowered the splendid panorama of colors, unmatched as it shot towards the Entropy Beast.

At this very moment, the Entropy Beast felt like it was facing a formidable enemy.

Even the Entropy Beast with Unified Force Technology dared not be careless towards the ten thousand kilometer-thick neutrino superbeam.

If it were just a regular energy attack, that might be one thing. But the penetrating power of neutrinos was too strong, with effects beyond imagination.

After all, even the neutron skin held together by the Strong Nuclear Force couldn’t block neutrinos. This is mainly because neutrons are not basic particles; they too are composed of other smaller particles. As long as it’s not a basic particle, there are actually gaps between any composite particles, providing an opportunity for neutrinos to pass through.

Thus, to confront the ten thousand kilometer-thick neutrino superbeam launched by Lu Chen from Constant Star, the Entropy Beast unprecedentedly slowed down and then stopped amidst the vast expanse of space, solemnly and indifferently observing the neutrino superbeam that was rapidly approaching at the speed of light.

When the neutrino superbeam sped past the space shock wave zone near the Entropy Beast, it was affected by the unique relationship between space and matter. Not even light was an exception, as it too changed its trajectory when passing through distorted space.

Therefore, as the neutrino superbeam shot through the space shock wave zone, its trajectory was forcibly altered, moving forward in a wave-like motion.
