Chapter 461: The Hundred Million Mark
Starry Sky Battlefield, ever changing in the blink of an eye!
Surrounded suddenly by twelve Battle Stars, the Black Hole Tian Bo found itself encircled.
These Battle Stars were all from the Wandering Alliance, led by Green Star and Mushroom Star, they commanded ten communications Battle Stars to arrive instantaneously around Black Hole Tian Bo using the Jump Engine.
However, due to the wariness of the gravitational force of the Black Hole Tian Bo, Green Star, Mushroom Star, and the others did not approach too closely but maintained a distance of about five astronomical units—a range that was within the firing reach of the Information Shock, yet also allowed for a certain degree of defense against counterattacks from Black Hole Tian Bo.
On the other side, the Earth Civilization, Eternal Life Civilization, and eleven other Battle Stars responsible for eliminating Black Hole Tian Fe employed the same tactics. They also surrounded Black Hole Tian Fe using the Jump Engine, and then promptly unleashed the ultimate weapon, Information Shock.
They were very clear about their mission and objective—they didn't come for a sightseeing trip to the black hole, of course, they aimed to eliminate the enemy's leader, Black Hole, as swiftly as possible. After all, at this moment, the united forces of the Bose-Fermi Alliance were also heading for an assault on Constant Star Lu Chen, with one-third of their joint forces urgently returning for support. Whether it was for the safety of Constant Star Lu Chen or for their own sake, they had to settle the fight quickly!
"Damn it, a bunch of treacherous bastards, we must not let you achieve your goals!"
Faced with the Information Shock offensive from the Wandering Alliance, both Black Hole Tian Bo and Black Hole Tian Fe, despite being in different locations, found themselves in the exact same predicament. They were encircled by the Wandering Alliance's twelve Battle Stars and had no way to simultaneously dodge the onslaught of Information Shock waves coming from twelve different directions. Perhaps foreseeing their death, they roared in unwilling rage and desperately retaliated with High Energy Gravitational Waves in all directions.
Alas, despite the strength of the gravitational waves from the black holes, their technological content was not very high. With technology a notch above, Green Star, Earth, and others had the equipment to cope, but Black Hole Tian Bo and Black Hole Tian Fe, solitary to the last, were unable to contend with the encirclement. If it were an attack from a single direction, they might have had a chance to evade, but an assault from twelve directions undoubtedly sealed their fate entirely.
This was also something the Wandering Alliance had anticipated when designing the plan.
It could be said they had made incredibly detailed preparations for victory in this war.
The situation where their twelve Battle Stars fought fiercely against the black holes, was much like the legendary twelve constellations battling the lord of the underworld. Not to mention the match between the black of black holes and the dark overlord, the shimmering twelve Battle Stars were also analogous to the images of the twelve constellations.
Eventually, under the valiant offensive of the twelve constellations that had penetrated deep into the enemy camp, all resistance and struggle from Black Hole Tian Bo and Black Hole Tian Fe proved futile. They were directly hit by Information Shock, a vast number of Celestial Consciousness rapidly perished, and as all Celestial Consciousness vanished, the consciousness field also disintegrated simultaneously. The two black holes, deprived of Intention control, ceased their intense resistance at once, and space fell into a peaceful tranquility. The two black holes floated silently under the starry sky.
Until the moment before their demise, Black Hole Tian Bo and Black Hole Tian Fe, as well as the united forces of the Bose-Fermi Alliance, could not understand why the Wandering Alliance would dare to compete in a deadly struggle against their leaders?!
They had assumed that with their forces aggressively advancing on Constant Star Lu Chen, the Wandering Alliance could only defend. They had never anticipated such a bold decision from the Wandering Alliance, truly catching them off guard.
It was like a game where they had finally secured the major dragon buff and were pushing towards the Wandering Alliance's base, expecting an imminent victory, but to their surprise, the Wandering Alliance chose not to defend but to trade bases. And given that the Wandering Alliance was already fully equipped with powerful gear, they moved faster and ultimately destroyed the enemy's base before the Bose-Fermi Alliance could.
Needless to say, the Bose-Fermi Alliance was infuriated and filled with regret.
Of course, this was not merely a game, Black Hole Tian Bo and Black Hole Tian Fe had no chance for regret, and they ultimately paid the price for their complacency.
In fact, had the environs of the two black holes been equipped with a Satellite Matrix like that of Constant Star Lu Chen's Black Hole Avatar, and could wield weapons like Gravity Gold Waves, they might have had the chance to break through. Unfortunately, due to their overconfidence and never considering utilizing technological power to arm themselves, along with indeed being technologically inferior to the Wandering Alliance, they ended up as the sacrificial victims and turning point of the war.
The moment Black Hole Tian Bo and Black Hole Tian Fe perished.
The united forces of the Bose-Fermi Alliance were plunged into chaos; they seemed unable to believe their leaders had been wiped out, still attempting to contact Black Hole Tian Bo and Black Hole Tian Fe multiple times, only to be met by the cold and darkness of the universe.
Once they realized their leader, Black Hole, was indeed dead, the will to fight of the Bose Civilization and Fermi Civilization vanished instantly, and their valiant momentum dissipated in the blink of an eye, like a deflated balloon.
At the same time.
At the heart of the Wandering Star System, Constant Star Lu Chen's momentum surged.
Firstly, because he saw that Earth, Green Star, among others, had successfully destroyed both Black Hole Tian Bo and Black Hole Tian Fe, and secondly, after this period of stalling, his process of absorbing sixteen Constant Stars was nearing its end.
All of these sixteen Battle Stars were massive Constant Stars, the heaviest weighing over ten million Constant Star Mass, and even the lightest having several million Constant Star Mass. After Constant Star Lu Chen completely absorbed all sixteen Constant Stars, his Constant Star Mass ultimately settled at 160 million!
A ten-fold increase from the original 16 million!
Constant Stars with over a hundred million Constant Star Mass are exceedingly rare existences even in the vast Universe. Through this hard-fought battle, Constant Star Lu Chen finally made a breakthrough past the hundred million mark, clinching a final mass of 160 million!
Now, Constant Star Lu Chen's diameter spanned a colossal ten astronomical units, quadrupling in size from before, while his mass increased tenfold, clearly showing that to maintain such a massive Constant Star Body, the density of Hydrogen within Constant Star Lu Chen is now much higher than before.
With mass skyrocketing, the gravitational collapse naturally soared as well. To counteract gravity collapse, the nuclear fusion reaction zone within Constant Star Lu Chen tripled, and the Nuclear Fusion Rate increased by about eight times, ejecting light and heat more than ten times greater than before every moment.
As the Nuclear Fusion Rate increased, the core temperature of Constant Star Lu Chen also rose to 5 billion degrees, and due to the massive Constant Stars' convective zone temperature lock, the corona layer's temperature did not rise significantly, only reaching 140 million degrees.
As for the proportion of Hydrogen within Constant Star Lu Chen, it had slipped to around ninety percent.
This was because those sixteen Constant Stars had also lived for many years, accumulating non-Hydrogen material through nuclear fusion, and due to the war, Constant Star Lu Chen had no time to sift through carefully, opting to absorb them entirely.
