Chapter 458: Perfect Timing
Within the Wandering Star System.
Constant Star Lu Chen was frantically absorbing the constant stars that had been captured.
These stars originally all belonged to the Bose Alliance and Fermi Alliance's Constant Star Celestial Civilizations.
After their Celestial Consciousness was destroyed by the Wandering Alliance's Information Shock, they were successively sent within the Roche limit of Constant Star Lu Chen for him to absorb unifiedly.
At this moment, one could see an incredible sight in the dark universe where sixteen orbs of light were simultaneously revolving at high speeds around a central massive orb of light, appearing like an atom magnified countless times.
But unlike real atoms, these orbs of light were each a massive constant star!
One could see the sixteen outer stars rapidly rotating, and at every moment, a large amount of hot Hydrogen was forcibly stripped away, transforming into ferocious ancient dragons of orange hue, roaring and cascading down towards the center, towards Constant Star Lu Chen.
Moreover, as the rotation speed increased, the rate of plunder accelerated too, and the mass loss from the outer stars also grew more significant. Gradually it spread out and from a higher perspective, the scene of many stars spinning rapidly also formed a huge and dazzling vortex of light!
Thus, Constant Star Lu Chen rapidly plundered the mass of these outer stars, and his Constant Star Mass also swelled significantly, soaring from the original 16 million to 20 million, 30 million...
However, at that moment.
Constant Star Lu Chen, who was indulging in the absorption of Hydrogen mass, suddenly received a message from the Wandering Alliance.
It turned out that the forces of the Bose Alliance and Fermi Alliance on both sides of the battlefield had suddenly started to retreat simultaneously, with a tendency to convene, seemingly intending to form an alliance.
Having received this information, Constant Star Lu Chen immediately instructed his eastern and western frontline troops to converge, rapidly advancing towards the Bose Alliance and Fermi Alliance. Furthermore, during this process, Constant Star Lu Chen continued discussing with the Battle Star troops how to sabotage the alliance between the two. Although the Wandering Alliance did not fear a coalition of losers like the Bose Alliance and Fermi Alliance, they would surely disrupt them if possible and were unwilling to expend any extra energy or effort if they could easily obliterate their opponents.
Eventually, after some discussion, the Wandering Alliance decided on two methods to disrupt the alliance between the Bose Alliance and Fermi Alliance.
One was for Constant Star Lu Chen to use the Crown Hole Beam for ultra-long-range bombardment. Now, the distance between the two parties was around thirty light-years, which was precisely within the range of the Crown Hole Beam.
Second was for the Battle Star of the Wandering Alliance to use Space Wormholes to deliver Energy Attacks to the enemy's location, executing trans-dimensional shuttle strikes.
However, it is important to note that due to the Flow Base Disassembly's debundling nature with everything, including space, such weapons couldn't be transported through Space Wormholes, which would only cause the Space Wormholes to be destroyed into a fluid state; and although the power of Information Shock was formidable, it was limited by range and could not perform ultra-long-range attacks; whereas Quark Decoherence was difficult to stack Energy Levels, preventing it from causing large-scale bombing damage to the opponent; in short, due to various restrictions, the Wandering Alliance ultimately used Matrix Beam, which is similar to the Super Distance Light Beam used by the Bose Alliance and Fermi Alliance, a weapon technology that also uses matrix arrangement to converge numerous beams into one.
Boom! Boom!
At this moment, two piercingly bright beams of light suddenly erupted from within the ranks of the Wandering Alliance.
One could see that the size of these two beams was immense, looking more like two Milky Way star seas, illuminating the expanses of space!
The two galaxy-like beams of light, however, followed different paths. The Matrix Beam, formed by the convergence of numerous Battle Stars, suddenly entered an already opened Space Wormhole and vanished from sight; whereas the Crown Hole Beam launched by Constant Star Lu Chen, powered by a continuous thrust, surged towards the gathering location of the Bose Alliance and the Fermi Alliance.
At the same time.
The Bose Alliance and the Fermi Alliance naturally noticed the offensive from the Wandering Alliance. As they were in the critical period of forming an alliance, to ensure that the Battle Star forces undergoing integration were not affected, Black Hole Tian Bo and Black Hole Tian Fei decided to take action personally.
Black Hole Tian Bo, utilizing intelligence provided by the Bose Civilization, arrived behind the spatial node. When the Matrix Beam emerged from the Space Wormhole, it was directly bound by the high-energy gravitational hold of Black Hole Tian Bo, forcibly compressed, and then absorbed into the black hole's event horizon, becoming a part of Black Hole Tian Bo's mass.
Black Hole Tian Fei, on the other hand, positioned itself in the path of the Crown Hole Beam. As the Crown Hole Beam approached, Black Hole Tian Fei first used its high-energy gravity to compress the beam, and after reducing the Crown Hole Beam to a size smaller than its own black hole stature, it engulfed the beam into the black hole, becoming part of its own mass.
Seeing this development, Constant Star Lu Chen wisely abandoned the sabotage tactic.
Although he could still use the Crown Hole Beam to perform a holding action, it would certainly no longer be able to disrupt the enemy's alliance process. With the opportunity lost and intentions revealed, continued use would only give Black Hole Tian Fei more mass freely. It was better to focus on absorbing the sixteen nearby constant stars, and so Constant Star Lu Chen gave up the sabotage and began arranging a new strategy.
Since he could no longer prevent the enemy's alliance, it was best to arrange strategies and tactics that could defeat them, as flexible response is the best policy without a guaranteed winning tactic.
Constant Star Lu Chen was very clear about this.
And so, the two sabotage plans of the Wandering Alliance ultimately ended in failure.
The Bose Alliance and the Fermi Alliance therefore managed to successfully complete the integration and adjustment of their Battle Stars.
Subsequently, the joint forces of the Bose Alliance and the Fermi Alliance launched a massive counterattack against the Wandering Alliance.
Boom! After a brief respite, the grand battle between the alliances erupted once more, and for a time, terrifying energy beams filled the starry sky.
However, this time the complexion of the battle had changed; it was no longer a three-way confrontation but a life-and-death struggle between two supercivilization alliances.
Aside from the change in numbers, there were also adjustments to the microscopic tactics. Learning from the lessons of the previous two wars, the Bose-Fermi Alliance no longer allowed the Battle Stars to engage in a melee. Instead, they used Celestial Civilizations as cores, supporting them with a subset of Battle Stars as satellites, forming battle units like this, to engage the three-star squads of the Wandering Alliance in combat.
It must be said that the adjustments made by the Bose-Fermi Alliance were very astute. They keenly realized that the Wandering Alliance favored targeting Celestial Civilizations first, and so they simply deployed Celestial Civilizations as cores and Battle Stars as satellites, a tactic specifically against the Wandering Alliance.
The effectiveness of this strategy was clear. On the battlefield, the Wandering Alliance could no longer single out Celestial Civilizations, and any other enemy stars were all grouped around Celestial Civilizations, forming a collective; therefore, the Wandering Alliance could only target entire teams for elimination. This approach made the Wandering Alliance's assault less thunderous than in the previous two encounters, and the war had entered a more pitched state for both sides.
This situation greatly invigorated the joint forces of the Bose-Fermi Alliance; after all, it was the first time they had managed to hold their ground on the battlefield after numerous wars.
Moreover, Constant Star Lu Chen was currently absorbed in drawing in sixteen constant stars and was temporarily unable to join the battle; it was an excellent opportunity. Black Hole Tian Bo and Black Hole Tian Fei thus personally led the army and launched a fierce attack towards Constant Star Lu Chen's position, clearly aiming to disrupt Lu Chen's absorption process and deal him a heavy blow.
