CHAPTER 304: CHAPTER 303: CAPTURING CONSTANT STAR WU SHUANG

The vast Universe, the dark void of space.

Two colossal Constant Stars were engaged in fierce battle.

Constant Star Lu Chen, just like drawing a belt, controlled the massive Heliosphere and whipped it towards Constant Star Wu Shuang.

However, due to the vast expanse of the Heliosphere, it surged towards Constant Star Wu Shuang like a meteoric river, overwhelming and forceful, rendering the sphere (Lu Chen) desperate.

Nevertheless, Constant Star Wu Shuang was neither desperate nor afraid.

He only retreated a distance then used his powerful gravity to lock onto the incoming Solar Sphere Material and, through his super-high-speed spin, slowly altered the Heliosphere’s trajectory, beginning to make those materials orbit around himself.

Owing to Constant Star Wu Shuang’s larger mass of up to a hundred thousand times the Constant Star Mass, coupled with his clever methods, he easily snatched part of the Heliosphere materials from Lu Chen’s grasp. As Constant Star Wu Shuang controlled the gravity for expansion and Gravity Increment, some materials that were orbiting around Lu Chen also began to fly towards Constant Star Wu Shuang!

Indeed, he did not talk big, proving his strength with actions.

His desire to plunder Lu Chen’s Heliosphere material was indeed as easy as flipping one’s hand.

At this moment, seen from afar, the battle of the Constant Stars in space seemed to be reversing. The originally dominant Constant Star Lu Chen suddenly became controlled, with vast amounts of Solar Sphere Material being pulled away by the strong gravity of Constant Star Wu Shuang and starting to fly towards the opponent, hence physically connecting the two with a vast amount of Solar Sphere Material between them.

From a distance, it looked as if two glowing spheres were quarreling in a stone pond or mud pond, somewhat shocking and yet also amusing!

However, the trajectory of this Constant Star battle was not good news for the Wandering Alliance; Constant Star Wu Shuang, with his greater mass, began to slowly overpower Constant Star Lu Chen and gained the upper hand in this conflict.

After gaining the advantage, as if to mock Lu Chen’s earlier taunting, Constant Star Wu Shuang said, "The Heliosphere you take pride in is being plundered by me. Once I’ve completely seized your Heliosphere, it will be your turn to slowly taste the flavor of despair!"

Constant Star Lu Chen, of course, knew he was at a disadvantage.

In fact, before the combat had even begun, he knew he would inevitably be disadvantaged because the outcome was determined by mass. Other than using technological aids to compensate, there was no alternative.

Thus, Constant Star Lu Chen could only keep desperately using the Gravity Increment to bind the outer Solar Sphere Material, although taking it back directly from Constant Star Wu Shuang’s grasp was unrealistic, he could at least slow down the rate at which the Heliosphere materials were snatched.

Lu Chen’s actions were precisely to create opportunities for the Wandering Alliance.

Having experienced numerous wars, Constant Star Lu Chen was no longer a rash sphere, especially since he took action knowing full well he would be defeated, he certainly had a contingency plan in mind. This is why he had the Wandering Alliance’s scientists assess the battle, as well as to find out how to counter Constant Star Wu Shuang.

At that time, the scientists had considered various possibilities and concluded that unless Constant Star Lu Chen’s mass suddenly increased or Constant Star Wu Shuang’s mass suddenly decreased, the gap due to the difference in mass was irrevocable.

Eventually, after intense discussion, the Wandering Alliance decided to use a Celestial Body Capture Device to capture Constant Star Wu Shuang, as the safest method. Moreover, they had made some minor modifications to the Celestial Body Capture Device, and it was now an excellent opportunity to test its effects.

But there was one condition for using the Celestial Body Capture Device to capture a target.

The target could not be moving too quickly; it had to be at rest, or at least relatively at rest, otherwise the target could escape the cutting range before the Celestial Body Capture Device could completely cut through the space.

However, restraining a Constant Star Wu Shuang of such massive scale is not an easy task. Within the Wandering Alliance, the only one possibly capable of this feat is Constant Star Lu Chen. That’s why Lu Chen deliberately provoked Constant Star Wu Shuang multiple times just now, using the Solar Sphere Material to compete and constrain him. This way, close combat and the risk of losing Hydrogen mass were avoided, and it also provided an opportunity for the lurking Wandering Alliance.

One could say that this is the real trump card of Constant Star Lu Chen.

As for the previous talk about the Heliosphere, it seemed plausible, but it was only a ploy to lull Constant Star Wu Shuang into a false sense of security.

Moreover, if it weren’t for this plan, given the unity of the Wandering Alliance, they would have probably rushed in and eliminated Constant Star Wu Shuang completely by triggering Quark Decoherence.

However, such an approach would have been a waste. After all, that was a matter of a hundred thousand Constant Star Mass. If all were absorbed by Constant Star Lu Chen, it would greatly enhance his own strength. Therefore, the Wandering Alliance decided to execute the Constant Star Capture Plan.

Now, under the full-force constraint of Constant Star Lu Chen, Constant Star Wu Shuang fell into the quagmire of drag exerted by the Heliosphere.

The Metal Planet Wandering took the opportunity to move to a suitable position, quietly activated the Celestial Body Capture Device, set the data, and began to slice the space surrounding Constant Star Wu Shuang.

Despite the massive amount of meteorites obstructing between Constant Star Wu Shuang and the Metal Planet Wandering, the noise made by the Celestial Body Capture Device still alarmed Constant Star Wu Shuang. When Constant Star Wu Shuang saw the weapon in the hands of Wandering, he was seized by an intense dread: "That... is a Celestial Body Capture Device, a weapon possessed only by a Level 4 Civilization, how could you possibly have one? Damn it, this is your real trump card. I’ve been duped by you all; you are a bunch of deceitful and cunning civilizations!"

After saying so, he flew away rapidly without hesitation.

As for the Solar Sphere Material, he completely abandoned it, after all, his own life was more important.

However, at this juncture, Constant Star Lu Chen naturally wouldn’t let his efforts be in vain. He immediately controlled his Gravity to lock onto Constant Star Wu Shuang, dragging him with his mass and reverse velocity to slow down Wu Shuang’s escape speed.

In the end, before Constant Star Wu Shuang reached the edge of space, Wandering managed to complete the slicing with the Celestial Body Capture Device. Then they saw the space where Constant Star Wu Shuang was quickly compressing and shrinking, until that piece of space was absorbed and confined within the Celestial Body Capture Device.

"You scum, you are all deceitful scum!"

"Damn it, you will all certainly not meet a good end..."

"Despicable civilization, what kind of victory is this using sneaky tricks? Have the guts to let me out..."

Watching his hopes of escape fade away, Constant Star Wu Shuang let out a roar filled with anger and piercing regret!

Constant Star Lu Chen said indifferently: "Thank you for your compliments and blessings. Being numerous and strong, possessing technological weaponry is indeed our forte. We will make sure to pass on your blessings to others."

Hearing Constant Star Lu Chen’s words, Constant Star Wu Shuang was so angry he felt like coughing up blood!

But then, Lu Chen did not bother with Constant Star Wu Shuang anymore and instructed Wandering to open the Celestial Body Capture Device’s releaser, directing Hydrogen towards himself.

This was an improvement made by the scientists of the Wandering Alliance to the Celestial Body Capture Device. The scientists installed a Strong Gravity Field inside the Celestial Body Capture Device that used secondary forces to forcibly strip the Hydrogen from the confined star. Then they grafted a releaser on the outside, so Constant Star Lu Chen could now directly absorb the star inside the Celestial Body Capture Device, without needing to release the star for absorption, which, after all, still posed some risk.

In fact, Constant Star Lu Chen had thought of such an idea a long time ago.

However, due to the lack of prior technological proficiency, he could not modify the Celestial Body Capture Device until recently. To be precise, it was after the advent of Basic String Theory based on the Unification Theory that the scientists finally made it a reality.
