CHAPTER 283: CHAPTER 282: A STRONG ATTITUDE

At the outset, to grasp that one in ten thousand miracle, the Mushroom Civilization ruthlessly broadcasted their coordinates to the entire universe.

This meant that civilizations receiving this electromagnetic wave message would definitely not be limited to the Wandering Alliance; any civilization with their receiving equipment switched on would receive it.

Of course, not all civilizations receiving this message would be interested in rescuing a Level Two civilization. Excluding those from vast distances or with inadequate technology, the lowest estimate dictates that there should still be civilizations deciding to come other than the Wandering Alliance.

Thus, in reality, many civilizations had already gathered outside the asteroid belt.

After the Wandering Alliance completely annihilated the Shell Clan Civilization, they hadn’t even had the time to clear the battlefield before discovering alien civilizations approaching from outside the asteroid belt.

According to the newest ultra-lightspeed detection equipment aboard the Earth Battle Star, there were altogether four different civilizations distributed outside the asteroid belt. The first civilization had fewer forces, still using cosmic battleships as their combat units, indicating their Civilization Level was probably still Two.

The reason for their arrival was probably because they had been constantly searching for traces of alien civilizations. Now that they finally received a message from an alien civilization, they could not contain their curiosity and risked sneaking over.

Among the countless civilizations in the vast universe, there was no shortage of daring and death-defiant civilizations.

The second civilization’s cloaking technology was much more sophisticated, leading the Wandering Alliance to speculate that this was a Level Three civilization, but they did not obtain much intelligence because the civilization had used technology to conceal itself.

The third civilization, strictly speaking, was not a civilization, but rather a Planet Battle Star. It seemed to be a reconnaissance troop responsible for gathering intelligence from a certain civilization. Since their goal was reconnaissance, this Battle Star did not dare to approach too closely and was the farthest away among the four.

The last civilization was a Celestial Civilization, a Constant Star with a Constant Star Mass of over three thousand.

This Constant Star was a Wandering Star, with no captured satellites and not forming a symbiotic life with other civilizations. It was like a lone ranger who came and went alone, the closest to the asteroid belt among the four.

After detailed analysis of this intelligence, the Wandering Alliance quickly came to a decision.

In order to save time, Metal Planet Wandering sent a strong message to these four civilizations: "The four of you are late. This asteroid belt is now our territory. I warn you to leave our defensive perimeter immediately, or bear the consequences!"

Even when facing four different civilizations, Wandering remained unyielding, with an attitude equally strong.

After receiving the message from Wandering, the Battle Star responsible for intelligence scouting was the first to leave knowingly, obviously not wishing to conflict with the Wandering Alliance.

The second to leave was the Level Two civilization among them. Although they wanted to understand the situation and attempt to establish communication with the alien civilization, the Wandering Alliance had issued an ultimatum. Naturally, they could not continue forward. To do so would not be a death wish, for a death wish still carries a slim chance of survival. If they ignored the warning and stubbornly advanced, it would be an unequivocal march towards death.

The third civilization to leave, with very advanced cloaking technology, was the Level Three civilization.

However, this Level Three civilization hesitated for quite some time before deciding to leave. It seemed that they were engaged in intense internal discussions. They decided to temporarily avoid conflict with the Wandering Alliance out of caution for certain factors.

Although they were well aware of the inevitable conflict between the entropy-increasing universe and entropy reduction civilizations, eliminating potential rivals was also an art. If there was a significant risk, and both parties did not yet have undeniable contradictions, and the universe had not reached the point of true destruction, there was no need to rush into a decisive battle. They could postpone this moment until their technological strength grew stronger.

Unlike the first three civilizations, the Wandering Star did not retreat but advanced instead.

And sent an equally strong message: "I claim the Constant Star at the center of the asteroid belt. The rest of the matter is yours. After all, hydrogen isn’t much use to you; don’t be too greedy. With your combat power, you can’t swallow this big fatty!"

The Wandering Star’s goal was clear: to devour the Constant Star and grow. Hence, it had traveled in this direction. But now, an imposing civilization suddenly appeared, demanding it leave. As a Constant Star Level Celestial Civilization, it too had its pride. There was no way it would easily agree.

Wandering got straight to the point: "You think we can’t take you down, is that it?"

The Wandering Star responded: "Although your technological weapons are strong, I am a Constant Star Celestial Civilization, with a mass greater than all of you combined, not even making up five percent of mine. I know your technological weapons have a certain probability of killing a Constant Star Celestial Civilization, but as long as I’m cautious with your weapons, it is your situation that will become more dangerous. So I think if you’re a smart civilization, you should understand there’s no need to clash with a formidable enemy over something unimportant!"

"Heh, well then, good luck to you!"

Wandering didn’t say much, only some words that left the Wandering Star puzzled.

Just as the Wandering Star was at a loss, the space node nearby began to fluctuate.

In an instant, the node turned into a massive space wormhole, and immediately afterward, an enormous medium-mass star burst forth, rushing directly at the Wandering Star.

"Damn it!"

By the time the Wandering Star paid attention, it was too late.

It was bound by the gravity of the suddenly appeared medium-mass star, and because their proximity was too close, it was pulled into the Roche limit before it could react, making escape impossible.

"Damn, who are you?" The Wandering Star was both anxious and angry in its heart, yet powerless.

Because its own Constant Star Mass was just over three thousand, whereas the mass of the star before it reached 86,600, many tens of times its own. Compared side by side, it was no bigger than a basketball. In such a vast disparity of stellar mass, it was like an infant, completely incapable of resisting.

"Weren’t you just bullying my kin for not having as much mass as you? Now we can have a good comparison of mass!"

The suddenly appeared medium-mass star was none other than the leader of the Wandering Alliance, Lu Chen. He was delayed because he needed to absorb the newborn Constant Star. Following Lu Chen, the Earth Battle Star, Green Star Battle Star, and Earth Number Battle Star emerged one after another from the wormhole, meeting up in the asteroid belt.
