Chapter 4684: Chapter 760: Doomsday (16)

Immediately, the big screen in the Galaxy Committee hall began to play the tragedy that had just occurred in the Shi’ar Empire’s Fierce Feather Star System.

Originally, Earth and the other battleships and planets crammed together were relatively at peace. Although the scene seemed somewhat comical, at least no one was truly hurt. But soon, things started to change.

A teleportation portal opened above Earth, and a gray satellite was pulled out from inside the portal. The leaders of the Shi’ar Empire fleet were puzzled, as the scanners on their ships indicated that this was just an ordinary satellite, very small, with nothing special about it. Why did Earth suddenly bring over such a satellite?

They vaguely heard of the Earth-Moon System - the system of Earth and Moon, often appearing in their astrophysics or cosmology textbooks. Because it is an extremely precise and perfect system, it can simply be called God’s masterpiece. Not only do Earth and the Moon complement each other, but they also perfectly cooperate with the Sun, possessing the aesthetic value of the sun rising and the moon setting. Such celestial systems are very rare in the cosmos, and it’s even rarer for them to become the home star of a civilization.

Seeing the other party drag their own Moon over, they thought it was needed to stabilize the tidal system on Earth. However, in the next second, they saw Magneto wave his hand, and the Moon started crazily revolving around Earth, spinning faster and faster...

Then, with a "whoosh," it hurled directly towards them.

In fact, the Moon is quite small, not even larger than some of the main ships of the fleet present. But it was incredibly fast, and its hardness was astonishing. Moreover, the fleet was unprepared, so three main ships in the orbital fleet burst into fireworks just like that.

The other fleets realized what happened and started attacking the Moon. But unexpectedly, after the Moon paused for two seconds, it flew back above Earth, leaving the other fleet leaders staring speechlessly at the scattered remnants of warships.

Of course, they could see that Magneto had merely used the gravitational slingshot effect to toss the Moon over.

Just like the Solar System, the Fierce Feather Star System is not stationary. All celestial bodies rotate around the star of their Star System. Moreover, their star system moves at high speed within a larger galaxy.

Earth seemed to be quietly rotating there, but in fact, it was replacing the original Ferocious Feather Star in revolution. You could completely liken Earth at this moment to a high-speed train, with the Moon being a glass marble tossed over. The high-speed train knocking away the glass marble gives it an extremely high initial velocity. This is the gravitational slingshot effect.

But there’s a premise: during the act of knocking away, neither side can suffer damage. But the size of the Moon and Earth doesn’t quite reach the size ratio of a high-speed train to a glass marble. They won’t be damaged mainly because both are extremely hard.

No need to elaborate on Earth; with the Magic Defense Network, nothing is likely to collide with it—didn’t the victimized Ferocious Feather Star just squat there aggrieved?

As for the Moon, it actually utilized the power of Moon God Kong Su to apply some protection to this satellite.

Moon God Kong Su is actually the God of the concept of "Moon," and he cannot directly control the celestial Moon. But he has a certain connection with the celestial Moon, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to make the Moon disappear.

Precisely because he is a Concept God, his power belongs to a type of rule-based power. Although the level of the rule is relatively low—limited to the Earth-Moon System, and useless for other planets’ satellites—but rule power is rule power, still harder than ordinary energy shields.

The Three Great Empires each have a grasp of some rule-based power, but they usually wouldn’t apply this power to ordinary battleships. Even if they do, it would be placed on weapons, not on shields. Because in a situation where resources are overly abundant, the ship itself is not valuable. As long as the strategic goal can be achieved, even using main ships for kamikaze attacks is acceptable.

The Shi’ar Empire’s battleships are equipped only with ordinary shields, which are energy shields. These shields are fine for dealing with artillery attacks from other battleships, but facing rule-based power, they fall short.

Hence, the Moon smashed three main ships in one blow, scaring the rest of the fleet out of their wits. It’s not that these three warships are particularly precious, it’s just that the scene is too frightening—who uses their own satellite to smash others?

But they soon realized there was nothing more terrifying than that, only more terrifying. That was just a trial shot. Because now, the Moon targeted the Ferocious Feather Star.

The people of the Shi’ar Empire were truly scared stiff, with their hair standing on end in the physical sense—those few feathers on their heads standing straight up, now looking like fluffed-up roosters.

The Ferocious Feather Star is slightly smaller than Earth. Earth’s diameter is 3.67 times that of the Moon, while the Ferocious Feather Star is about 3.5 times larger. However, their planet, after a series of modifications, is lighter in mass than Earth, making it more fragile.

The previous collision with Earth depleted a lot of the Planet’s Shield energy. If the Moon were to hit again, the shield energy might run out.

Moreover, looking at their stance, it’s clear they don’t lack energy. Even if one or two hits won’t break it, what if they hit ten or eight times a day? Whose good planet could withstand such battering?

Unable to provoke it, they decided to avoid it. The Shi’ar Empire’s ships quickly activated the gravitational traction system and fled with their home planet.

But don’t forget, there are still many other planets in this star system, and because they didn’t dare approach Earth, they’ve been piled together. When Magneto launched the Moon a second time, he aimed directly at a dwarf planet slightly larger than the Moon, using the gravitational slingshot effect to collide fiercely. In the process of being knocked away, it bounced into the gravitational orbit of another planet, then was knocked away again. Then, as if with eyes, it headed straight for the Ferocious Feather Star being pulled away.

"Bang!"

```

Although sound cannot be transmitted in a vacuum, everyone seemed to hear a crisp collision sound. The Planet’s Shield of Ferocious Feather Star flickered violently, and the entire planet was knocked back.

Fortunately, the Moon itself has no propulsion, only relying on gravitational projection, and it didn’t have enough strength to knock Ferocious Feather Star out of the Star System. But the more troublesome part was that when the Moon collided, some spacecraft hadn’t closed their gravitational traction systems in time and were dragged away by Ferocious Feather Star.

If all the spacecraft hadn’t closed their gravitational traction systems and were dragged away together, it wouldn’t be so bad. However, some captains reacted quickly and turned off the traction systems. As a result, some spacecraft were pulled away while others weren’t—and those that were collided with those that weren’t—"crash","bang", for a moment, the vicinity of Ferocious Feather Star was full of space traffic accidents. One Double God-level main battleship slammed its front, a Queen-level battleship did a triple forward somersault, and two recently launched Fierce Feather Level Escort Ships all became Soul Ring Cars.

With so many traffic accidents occurring, they obviously had to be dealt with promptly. Although battleships weren’t quite valuable and people could be revived, the Earth was still eyeing them covetously, and who knows when this chaos would end, so they had to preserve their remaining strength.

So, a large number of battleships went to handle the scene. They were smarter this time, not daring to gather together and kept a distance, using laser weapons to cut the wreckage of battleships, then burning it, and using traction devices to drag out the battleships that could still be salvaged.

This time the Moon was projected very far away, seemingly beyond Magneto’s range of control. So after the collision, it just stayed in place. The Shi’ar Empire people dealt with the scene briefly and began to contemplate how to handle this big problem.

They wanted to fire the main cannon on their battleships at it, but this thing wasn’t afraid of collisions, so it probably wouldn’t be afraid of the main cannon either. The people of the Shi’ar Empire had no choice but to leave it there for now.

"You damn fools! Cowards!" Lilandra cursed angrily in the conference room, "They even dare to attack our mother with a satellite, and you all just stand there and watch! Send someone to destroy that damned satellite immediately!"

"But, but Magneto..."

"You are all so incredibly stupid!" Lilandra roared, "Magneto has to keep an eye on Earth. If he shows up, you go straight for Earth, got it?!"

The other party complied timidly, not daring to answer. After all, it was quite embarrassing this time, not only did someone crash into their homeland, but also used satellites to smash it, damaging several spacecraft, without effective solutions.

"Send someone over immediately!!!" Lilandra shouted.

The nobles of the Shi’ar Empire had no choice either. They knew that a powerful country needed to maintain composure. Even if some approaches seemed inappropriate, to boost morale, they had to do it. Just like now, even though they might not be able to resolve the Moon issue soon, they had to present a confident demeanor to avoid being laughed at by allies.

The Shi’ar Empire dispatched three ships, and this time they weren’t main battleships, but three small Escort Ships, cautiously flying towards the Moon to observe the situation and probe it.

In the Inhumans’ base, Black Bolt felt sweat on his palms. He turned again and asked, "Is the shielding function activated? Can you detect the opponent’s detection devices?"

"The opponent’s scanning signals have been intercepted. At present, they shouldn’t be able to find our base. They shouldn’t detect anyone on the lunar surface before landing."

"Good. Go tell the soldiers to prepare for battle!"

Black Bolt wasted no time and quickly left the monitoring room, took a deep breath, and went to organize the Inhumans’ troops.

The three Escort Ships on this side found nothing unusual about the Moon itself, and even attempted a small weapon attack to provoke it. The Moon had no reaction, and the energy shield’s wave was very weak. They assumed the Moon’s Shield energy was exhausted.

After all, with such collisions, even the Shield of their Shi’ar Empire home planet was nearly drained. For such a small satellite, it probably couldn’t store much energy; running out of power was normal.

To those from the Shi’ar Empire, it seemed that Earth might be willing to abandon this satellite. Otherwise, there was no need to throw the Moon so far and not send anyone over to recover it yet.

But out of caution, they meticulously examined the Moon to ensure there was nothing on it before sending people to install the gravitational traction device’s receptor.

The gravitational traction device isn’t a weapon, but an engineering device used to tow large celestial bodies. However, gravity is relatively precise, unlike the Universe’s Son like Magneto. To ensure transportation stability, gravitational traction devices are divided into transmitters and receptors. The transmitter is usually installed on a ship, and the receptor is usually fired onto the target, and only when both are connected can the towing operation be conducted.

And placing the receptor requires skill because the shape of the object to be towed varies, and so does the gravitational force. It requires some calculation for accurate placement. Generally, large main battleships have complete towing operation systems, while small Escort Ships lack such equipment and don’t even have devices to launch receptors, hence relying on manual parachuting and walking to the correct installation site to install.

A few soldiers from the Shi’ar Empire, equipped with single-soldier gear and receptors, parachuted from the small Escort Ship and started searching for a place to install the receptors. Then they ran into Black Bolt leading the Inhumans soldiers head-on.

"Stop!!!" Black Bolt shouted loudly.
