CHAPTER 302: CHAPTER 301: DOG EAT DOG

"What is that, it seems like there is something hidden in the space membrane!"

Although the Double-faced Alliance was engaged in intense combat, they were still vigilant of their surroundings. When that massive space rift appeared, every Battle Star noticed the Wandering Star System hidden within.

They had only detected the tip of the iceberg, so they were temporarily unsure of what exactly it was.

However, it was because of this unexpected event that the internal warfare of the Double-faced Alliance came to a temporary halt. Both the Battle Star Group of the Double-faced Civilization and Constant Star Wu Shuang wanted to determine what was hidden beneath the space membrane, to prevent being sneak-attacked by some sinister Alien Civilization.

After communication between the various Battle Stars, the Double-faced Civilization quickly deduced that what was hidden beneath the space membrane was likely the Wandering Alliance.

This was because, recently, the Double-faced Civilization had only been involved in grudges and skirmishes with the Wandering Alliance. Moreover, they had detected a vast Asteroid belt within the space rift, which corresponded to the dense Heliosphere surrounding the Wandering Star System. Moreover, based on the intelligence they received, the Wandering Alliance happened to possess Space Wormhole Technology. Therefore, under all these factors, the identity of the Wandering Alliance was almost certain.

But what the Double-faced Alliance never expected was that...

Without pursuing revenge against the Wandering Alliance, the Wandering Alliance dared to take the initiative to seek them out, which was purely a death wish. Although the Double-faced Civilization’s technology might not be as advanced as their adversary’s, Constant Star Wu Shuang was a massive Constant Star, weighing a hundred thousand Constant Star Masses. When it came to overall combat strength, they were somewhat stronger than the Wandering Alliance. So, in their view, the Wandering Alliance was simply foolhardy and seeking its own demise.

Of course, this premise was based on the necessity of unity within the Double-faced Alliance.

Constant Star Wu Shuang was also very aware of this, and thus he proposed that everyone temporarily puts aside their grudges and focuses on confronting the Wandering Alliance first. Otherwise, they would certainly be defeated one by one by the Wandering Alliance, which was undoubtedly something that nobody wanted to see.

In response to Constant Star Wu Shuang’s proposal, all the Battle Stars of the Double-faced Civilization agreed. After a brief communication, they launched a synchronized attack towards the spatial coordinates of the Wandering Star System. Under a massive onslaught of Energy Attacks, the space rift appeared once again, exposing the full extent of the Wandering Star System to the Double-faced Alliance.

"Sigh!"

Seeing his position inadvertently revealed, Lu Chen from the Constant Stars sighed in his heart, and then helplessly led the Wandering Star System out through the Space Wormhole.

The Wandering Star System was a massive 0.7 light-years in diameter, and its arrival in Cosmic Space had an immense gravitational influence. Distant interstellar material and Planets were affected in their trajectories by the powerful Gravity. Moreover, after the Wandering Star System emerged, the Heliosphere continued to absorb interstellar material from the surroundings. The Wandering Star System looked like a gigantic devouring beast, majestic and wild, consuming all matter it encountered.

Compared to the 0.7 light-year size of the Wandering Star System, the Unrivaled Star System with a diameter of fifty astronomical units seemed as small as a grain of sesame. Moreover, following the fierce internal warfare, many Planet Battle Stars had been destroyed, and the size of the Unrivaled Star System had significantly reduced. Therefore, when a giant star system appeared like a colossus, every Double-faced Star People on each Battle Star could not help but inhale a breath of cold air in shock!

"The Wandering Alliance, it really is you. We didn’t come looking for you, yet you’ve delivered yourselves to our doorstep. A death wish, heh." Constant Star Wu Shuang wasn’t surprised and sent out a calm telepathic message.

The reason Constant Star Wu Shuang wasn’t surprised was that his Constant Star Mass was even greater, being 74,000 higher than Lu Chen’s 92,600. Forming a Giant Star System, or even a Super Star System, wouldn’t be an issue for him, but he didn’t see the need. They did not aim to fly towards the Cosmic Center but to develop their power at a fixed location; with abundant resources nearby, there was no reason to erratically carry so much matter.

In his opinion, Lu Chen’s approach was ineffective. His Gravity was greater than Lu Chen’s, and although capturing Lu Chen’s Hydrogen would require entering the Roche limit, seizing the meteoric material from the Heliosphere was like taking candy from a baby.

After receiving the telepathic message, Lu Chen from the Constant Stars expressed his pity: "What a shame, I wanted to watch you fight amongst yourselves. It seems like God cherishes your fur, and I suppose it must be quite valuable!"

"Don’t boast with your words; it will only hasten your demise!" Constant Star Wu Shuang was seething with anger and resolved in his heart to kill Lu Chen. Of course, the killing intent had been there already, but it intensified after hearing Lu Chen’s taunts.

Lu Chen from the Constant Stars responded: "You strange ball, my Constant Star Mass can’t compare to yours, so I can only suppress you with words, would I be so foolish to clash directly with you and be absorbed?"

Constant Star Wu Shuang was intrigued by this admission: "If you know that you can’t match my mass, why then did you still come seeking us out? Do you have some sort of scheme?"

Lu Chen from the Constant Stars replied: "Don’t worry, even if I had a scheme, I wouldn’t tell you."

"Whether you tell me or not doesn’t matter, as your annihilation is assured. Once I absorb your Hydrogen, I will naturally obtain the answers I want from your Intention particles."

Having said that, Constant Star Wu Shuang immediately communicated with the Battle Stars of the Double-faced Civilization about tactics to attack the Wandering Alliance.

Lu Chen from the Constant Stars bantered with Constant Star Wu Shuang as a delay tactic.

During this time, Wandering’s avatar within the Heliosphere had absorbed a vast amount of Metal Elements. Now, just the avatar itself weighed over six thousand Planet Masses. To allow the Wandering to more freely control such a tremendous planetary mass, Lu Chen allocated some spare Intention particles to the Wandering. At this moment, after merging the avatar with the main body, the Wandering became a Metal Planet with 8,500 Planet Masses!

Apart from waiting for the powerful Wandering to return to the fold, Lu Chen from the Constant Stars also instructed the science team within the Wandering Base to analyze the current combat strength of the Double-faced Alliance and come up with feasible tactical plans as soon as possible, adding some chips to the scales of victory for the upcoming war.

According to the science team’s analysis, the Double-faced Civilization currently had only sixty Planet Battle Stars left, having lost thirty-eight in the previous internal battles. Meanwhile, the Wandering Alliance’s fifty Science and Martial Battle Stars had been produced and tested; with the addition of Eternal Life’s twelve and Earth’s eight, they had a total of seventy Planet Battle Stars. Considering the technological disparities between the groups, the Wandering Alliance was conservatively estimated to have an absolute overwhelming advantage.

Of course, the only uncertainty was Constant Star Wu Shuang.

Constant Star Wu Shuang’s mass was considerably larger than Lu Chen’s, which warranted vigilance. Before the battle commenced, they would need to devise a strategy to overcome the enemy.

While Constant Star Wu Shuang believed that sheer Constant Star Mass superiority was all that mattered, the Wandering Alliance considered that technology could bridge the gap. This was the judgment of the battling forces, leaving both sides confident in their potential victory. An imminent battle that would determine the life or death of both civilizations was about to unfold!
