Wandering Meteor-Chapter 229 - 228: The Time is Near

This time, the situation was very dangerous for the Wandering Alliance.

To turn danger into safety, not only did the Planet Annihilation Plan need to succeed, but Constant Star Lu Chen also had to rationally allocate combat power.

Lu Chen was well aware of this, and so he ordered the Wandering, Green Star Battle Star, and Earth Battle Star to continue flying forward, taking on the responsibility of scattering or destroying the Earth Core Battle Stars ahead, clearing the path; while he stayed in place, tasked with launching attacks to delay the main force of the Earth Core Alliance from behind and covering the smooth implementation of the Planet Annihilation Plan.

Such distribution of forces was relatively balanced and best suited to the current situation.

Since the Earth Core Alliance’s internal and external forces had blocked the Wandering Alliance within the Star Realm Tunnel, the Wandering Alliance had to split their powers and conduct a two-front battle. However, considering that the main force of the Earth Core Alliance was at the rear, Constant Star Lu Chen stayed behind alone to delay the main force, allowing the Wandering, Green Star Battle Star, and Earth Battle Star to confront the less powerful forces ahead.

After all, within the Wandering Alliance, no one had more combat power than Constant Star Lu Chen; even the combined forces of the Wandering, Green Star Battle Star, and Earth Battle Star were not as strong as he was. Therefore, as the strongest combat presence and the leader of the Wandering Alliance, Lu Chen shouldered the greatest responsibility.

Thus, at the moment the Planet Annihilation Plan commenced, the Wandering Star System temporarily disbanded.

Metal Planet Wandering, Green Star Battle Star, and Earth Battle Star broke away from their orbit and sped forward at full velocity.

Since their mass was not large, at least not compared to a constant star, they seemed like a speck of dust within the one light-year diameter of the Star Realm Tunnel, and they were able to dodge many energy attacks with their flexible speed, with only a few large-scale spatial weapons needing to be forcibly broken through head-on.

To make the breakthrough more efficient, Wandering, Green Star Battle Star, and Earth Battle Star arranged themselves into a battle formation. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Metal Planet Wandering transformed into a Planet Giant Sword flying in the center, in charge of leading the charge like the tip of a spearhead; Green Star Battle Star and Earth Battle Star flew on either side, responsible for defending and protecting from enemy attacks, as well as covering the Wandering’s charge.

However, to stop the movement of the Wandering and other spheres, the Earth Core Alliance’s forces ahead, in coordination with the main force in the rear, quickly arranged themselves into battle formations as well. They began a battle of wits and courage within the vast Star Realm Tunnel, competing with the power of each other’s weapons.

At first, the distance between the two sides was still quite far.

Their attacks were simply straightforward energy and spatial attacks.

A variety of colorful energy particles whizzed back and forth in space, as if both sides were jointly creating a magnificent and splendid cosmic color strip chart.

But as the distance between the two sides closed, the situation suddenly became chaotic, and the course of the battle turned intricate and unpredictable.

...

Meanwhile, on the other front, as soon as the plan commenced, Constant Star Lu Chen launched a fierce attack on the Earth Core Alliance’s main force behind them.

Boom...

The Crown Hole Radiation, Annihilation Light Column, neutrino superbeam, Constant Star Gravitational Wave, Gravity Black Hole, and other attacks were successively launched, causing a certain degree of distortion in space, which was utterly terrifying.

To impede the advance of the Earth Core Alliance’s main forces and to cover for the ten Cosmic Battleships reaching their designated position, Lu Chen didn’t hold back at all. He even employed long-unused methods, using full-power moves to draw the attention of the main forces of the Earth Core Alliance.

In order to achieve his goal, while utilizing these attacks, Lu Chen also continuously unleashed the Constant Star Storm.

Since the Constant Star Storm is a wide-range attack, as long as Lu Chen controlled the angle and direction, he could launch an attack directly against all Battle Stars behind him. Although the Constant Star Storm is less powerful than the neutrino superbeam, its continuous nature, like water dripping on stone, slowly erodes the equipment on the Planet Battle Stars and can also impede the enemy’s speed.

Moreover, given Lu Chen’s current Constant Star Mass, the Constant Star Storm he fully unleashed was indeed not weak, only relatively less intense compared to those high-density energy particle attacks. In fact, the Constant Star Storm Lu Chen released was over three thousand times stronger than a normal Constant Star Wind. If the Sun had unleashed a Constant Star Wind of this magnitude, Earth’s magnetic field would have been shattered instantly, and life on Earth would have been extinguished within an hour.

Therefore, even just a Constant Star Storm, given Lu Chen’s current Constant Star Mass, is also extremely terrifying for biological life, as the difference in energy levels between them is simply too vast.

The only drawback is that as Lu Chen exhausts himself with various techniques, his own Constant Star Mass is consumed very quickly.

But to resolve the current crisis, Lu Chen could not afford to worry about that.

On another front.

Upon noticing Lu Chen’s desperate actions, Huang Xing couldn’t help but feel smug, looking at the Wandering Star System as if watching a few ants struggling in vain.

After savoring this feeling, Huang Xing ordered the entire army to switch to a defensive formation, using the equipment on the numerous Planet Battle Stars to form a massive protective shield. This minimized the impact of Lu Chen’s attacks, ensuring the army’s advance speed would not be greatly affected.

Huang Xing had received a message from other Planet Battle Stars that the Wandering, the Green Star Battle Star, and the Earth Battle Star of the Wandering Alliance were breaking through the frontlines. Therefore, Huang Xing naturally assumed that Lu Chen wanted to buy time for the offensive forces to break through successfully, and he definitely could not let the enemy’s wish come true.

However, it was precisely because they were deceived by the superficial strategic goals of the Wandering Alliance, coupled with the immense pressure from Lu Chen, that the Earth Core Alliance failed to pay very close attention to their surroundings, inadvertently allowing the ten cloaked Cosmic Battleships to enter their airspace.

Of course, the fact that the ten Cosmic Battleships were able to stealthily reach this point was not only due to the carelessness of the Earth Core Alliance, but also the precise calculations of the Wandering Alliance.

Originally, to ensure the success of the Planet Annihilation Plan, the scientific team at the Wandering Base even took the detection technology of the Earth Core Civilization into account in their calculations and based on this calculated the safest stealth route. Even without Lu Chen’s frontal pressure, the Earth Core Alliance would have to conduct multiple searches to discover them.

Because the stealth route planned by the Wandering Alliance is not a direct frontal assault but a creeping approach along the top edge of the Star Realm Tunnel.

The reason for choosing this stealth route is twofold: first, the diameter of the Star Realm Tunnel is one light-year, and given the flight altitude of the Earth Core Civilization, it is roughly 0.7 light-years away from the top of the tunnel, a distance that can avoid immediate detection.

Secondly, to allow the Anti-Matter Planet to undergo annihilation reactions as completely as possible. After all, to annihilate, the corresponding Positive Matter is needed to neutralize each other. However, the load of ten Cosmic Battleships cannot possibly carry matter equivalent to 109 Planet Masses, so the Wandering Alliance had to rely on the vast amount of matter in Cosmic Space. The most material-rich location in the Star Realm Tunnel is along the edge of the tunnel.

Thirdly, the timing of the release of the Anti-Matter Planet. To inflict maximum damage to the Earth Core Alliance’s main forces, the internal Wandering Alliance discussed and ultimately decided to detonate at five tenths of the way through the main forces. If detonated too early, the Earth Core Alliance could simply retreat to avoid it, but if detonated too late, the blast’s killing power would be greatly reduced. Detonating while the army is halfway through forces a dilemma and maximizes casualties.

As time ticked away, the moment to release and detonate the Anti-Matter Planet drew closer...
