Chapter 1152: The Energy Planet’s Secret

"These idiots! If Planet Noctis really has 70-80% of its energy intact, there’s no way the Space Insectoid Queen would abandon it. If we try to seize her energy, she will undoubtedly fight us to the death."

Despite his warnings, the group of reckless adventurers refused to listen.

Since the technician was not the highest-ranking officer on the ship, there was nothing more he could do other than stomp his feet in frustration.

"Come on, maybe things won’t be as bad as you think," said a red-haired woman nearby, smiling as she patted his shoulder.

"You don’t understand. The abrupt departure of the space insectoids from that energy planet—it’s highly suspicious. I have a strong feeling it’s connected to what’s happening on Planet Noctis."

"Oh?" The red-haired woman’s interest was piqued. "Are you suggesting that someone may have gotten to Planet Noctis before us?"

"I don’t know," the technician replied, noting her eager expression and deciding it wasn’t worth explaining further.

Ultimately, the spaceship followed Velzok and Nykthar’s plan, beginning its journey toward Planet Noctis.

Meanwhile, Planet Noctis, shrouded in its relentless particle storm, was undergoing noticeable changes.

Just as Amalia had predicted, Planet Noctis was indeed a pure energy planet.

Over 70% of the planet’s composition was energy, making it incapable of developing planetary consciousness.

Without the interference of planetary consciousness, there was little feedback the energy planet could provide to Amalia.

However, the absence of planetary will also meant there was less resistance to the assimilation process.

The outer particle storm was visibly shrinking at an astonishing rate.

Amalia’s spacecraft had already returned to the cosmic battleship,

A massive battleship stationed nearby.

Everyone aboard was tensely watching the real-time data displayed on the monitors, their eyes fixed on Planet Noctis.

According to the updated readings, the size of Planet Noctis had already shrunk to 90% of its original mass.

Although it might not sound like much, you have to understand that Planet Noctis is massive.

Even 0.1 of its volume is still larger than Planet Shadron.

Piercing through the barriers of the particle storm, they witnessed something incredible.

They already knew that Planet Noctis was extremely rich in energy, but they hadn’t realized just how abundant that energy was—until now.

The surface layer of the planet had been mostly absorbed by Amalia, leaving behind the core and a surface blanketed with pure energy.

An entire planet composed almost entirely of energy was a sight they had never seen before in their lives.

Just then, the control room of the cosmic battleship was suddenly filled with the sharp beeping of an alarm.

Everyone jumped in surprise.

The battleship they were using was stolen from the aliens, and if anyone were contacting them, it could only mean one thing: the aliens.

"What’s going on?" Khalil asked in confusion, his eyes darting to Officer Khan.

Officer Khan’s expression turned grave. "It’s not that the aliens are contacting us directly. The cosmic battleship’s sensors have detected a nearby alien spaceship approaching and picked up the signal it emitted."

"The aliens are coming?" Khalil’s face immediately hardened with seriousness.

"It seems so," Officer Khan replied. "This could be troublesome. We don’t know which faction this spaceship belongs to, but any alien spaceship capable of reaching this area is unlikely to be weak."

"How much time do we have until they arrive?" Khalil asked, his brow furrowed deeply.

"Approximately three and a half hours."

"We need to notify Amalia and the others about this immediately."

"How are we supposed to contact them? They’re inside Planet Noctis right now, and the entire area is surrounded by the particle storm, which is disrupting all communications. Even if we wanted to, we couldn’t get through to them."

Khalil fell silent for a moment, lost in thought. "If I remember correctly, the alien cosmic battleships have cloaking capabilities. Maybe we could try that. It’s probably best if we keep the fact that we stole an alien battleship under wraps for now—this way, we might have the chance to launch a surprise attack later."

"I’ll give it a try," Officer Khan said while nodding his head.

Fortunately, Kenny Lin had taught them how to make the cosmic battleship invisible.

The invisibility of the cosmic battleship was achieved by coating it with a special material on the outside.

However, this special material could not render the battleship completely invisible; it merely made it unseeable to the naked eye.

In addition to this, the material had another unique property—it could block signal detection from other battleships or spacecraft.

As they activated the invisibility function of the cosmic battleship, Kenny Lin suddenly looked up toward the direction of the battleship.

His gaze lingered for a moment before he casually looked away.

Suddenly, an overwhelming aura surged around him, gathering into a massive sword in midair.

The giant sword that was entirely formed of condensed sword energy, shimmered as it coalesced into a solid form.

With a mighty shout from Kenny Lin, the sword came crashing down with a thunderous roar.

The sword energy raged wildly, carving out an even longer chasm in the ground.

The energy spread sideways, slicing the earth into scattered fragments.

Amalia stored the fragmented energy into her small world.

Using the small world to devour the energy always resulted in a portion being absorbed.

Although the energy held little value to her, serving only as a minor nutrient, it was still more efficient to store it in her small world.

After its expansion during the last incident, her small world had grown to a considerable size, making it effortless to store the energy.

Layer upon layer of energy fragments piled up along the edges of the small world, resembling endless mountain ranges from a distance.

"This small world of yours isn’t as good as it was before it evolved," Kenny Lin remarked casually as he once again sliced the energy into countless pieces.

Before its evolution, although the Soltice Ring only had few compartments, but each compartment could hold infinite amounts—potentially even an entire planet.
