Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Quasi-star

As soon as he arrived, Lu Chen couldn’t help but be speechless at such a murderous statement.

Had it not been for his clear memory, he would have thought he bore some grudge against this White Dwarf Star!

However, speaking of which, this White Dwarf Star was very special, at least its current state was very special, and perhaps it could no longer be called a White Dwarf Star.

It should be referred to as a Quasi-star or a Variable Star.

A Quasi-star mainly refers to a dead Constant Star that, by some chance coincidence, begins nuclear fusion again. But because the light and heat it emits are much weaker than that of a real Constant Star, it is called a Quasi-star.

Now, the Quasi-star in front of Lu Chen has a Constant Star Mass of 42.

Despite seeming not small in mass, the hydrogen content of this Quasi-star is only about twenty-five percent.

At such a ratio, a normal Constant Star would absolutely not be able to undergo nuclear fusion, and most would have even stopped nuclear fusion, with its life completely ended.

The specialty of a Quasi-star lies in the fact that its core contains a Solid Star Core, and it is also a high density, high temperature White Dwarf Star, which is conducive to accumulating temperature. When a certain amount of hydrogen accumulates on the surface of the White Dwarf Star, the atmospheric pressure and friction heat up the surface. Once the conditions are met, it will ignite the thermonuclear reaction of Hydrogen Element.

Such surface nuclear fusion Quasi-stars are not common, and it was unexpected for Lu Chen to encounter one!

With a helpless smile, Lu Chen explained, "I really have no ill intentions, I just want to ask if you have seen a blue Planet, or Earth Civilization and human civilization. If you just answer me, I can leave immediately!"

"Sounds nice, if I hadn’t absorbed the hydrogen in time, would you dare say you wouldn’t snatch it?"

The Quasi-star didn’t believe it at all and said coldly, "Even if you truly wouldn’t snatch it, why should I answer your question?"

Lu Chen could see the Quasi-star’s intention to make things difficult. Suppressing his anger, he asked, "Then what would it take for you to give an answer?"

"My condition... very simple, just let me absorb you, and I might consider telling you. But I don’t guarantee it will be the answer you want," the Quasi-star said teasingly.

Lu Chen said angrily, "You’re simply courting death. It seems I really need to take action!"

"Your awareness is too poor. Did you really think that we two could coexist peacefully?"

The Quasi-star laughed coldly, "Don’t think that I don’t know. If I hadn’t absorbed the hydrogen in advance and suddenly became larger in mass than you, you would surely have attacked me long ago. Why are you still pretending? Now of course I won’t let you go. It was not easy for me to return to the stage of a Constant Star. Since you have come to me, I will unceremoniously take you!"

No wonder the Quasi-star did not answer Lu Chen’s question, even after what Lu Chen had said. It turns out the Quasi-star’s thoughts were always the same; regardless of whether Lu Chen’s words were true or false, he would not let go of Lu Chen, this piece of fat meat. If anything, blame it on Lu Chen’s Constant Star Mass being smaller than his own!

Weakness is the original sin!

Lu Chen suddenly realized, "So you’ve set your sights on me. You are overly confident!"

"Confidence comes from strength. My Constant Star Mass is two more than yours; that’s the confidence. Die!" the Quasi-star said, and suddenly flew toward Lu Chen at full speed.

Whoosh whoosh!

In the process of moving forward, the Quasi-star emitted eight beams of Crown Hole Radiation, each of which was a whopping one hundred thousand meters thick. The high temperature twisted the surrounding space, terribly terrifying!

Seeing this, Lu Chen did not shrink back, and from the surface of the Constant Star, he also emitted eight rays of Crown Hole Radiation. They accurately collided with the eight fierce rays emitted by the Quasi-star, and the intense spark of light splashed in space. They looked like eight cosmic fireworks scattering around, gradually dimming after a brilliant display, and finally becoming part of the material in space.

After this trial strike, both the Quasi-star and Lu Chen knew that the power of Crown Hole Radiation was not enough to resolve each other.

"You should have seen it too, those feints are useless. Let’s settle the victory directly with Gravity!" Full of confidence, the Quasi-star accelerated towards Lu Chen, trying to lock him down with Gravity.

Since this is a celestial-level battle, of course, only the big killer like Gravity can resolve the opponent!

Lu Chen scoffed, "You are as naive as a child, resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement. That’s not the way adult orbs fight!"

During the conversation, Lu Chen retracted his Gravity, maintaining it at the Constant Star’s atmosphere. Then, controlling his Constant Star body to back away, he wasn’t foolish enough to fight the Quasi-star head-on!

No matter what, the Quasi-star had two more Constant Star Masses than him, and the Quasi-star also had a White Dwarf Star as a Solid Star Core. Its diameter was only a third of his, and it had a much higher density. He couldn’t afford to fight closely.

"Don’t you want to know the whereabouts of Earth Civilization? By running away, does it mean you don’t want to know anymore?" The Quasi-star suddenly said.

Lu Chen couldn’t help but pause, and his first reaction was that it must be just an excuse for the Quasi-star to attract him to fight head-on. However, his current goal was to find clues about Earth, so even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he couldn’t let it go, and so he asked.

"Have you really seen Earth Civilization?"

"Do you want to know? Then trade your life for it!" the Quasi-star said mockingly.

A decision formed in Lu Chen’s heart, "Since you are so stubborn, then I will let you taste my method!"

Right away, Lu Chen unleashed the Annihilation Light Column. Countless positrons and electrons collided at high speed on the surface of the Constant Star’s atmosphere, annihilating each other, and an infinite number of photons sprayed out, forming an Annihilation Light Column nearly a million meters tall that shot towards the Quasi-star like lightning.

With Lu Chen’s current mass, the power of the Annihilation Light Column had certainly increased, up from three hundred thousand meters to a million meters.

Moreover, as Lu Chen had become a Constant Star, the Star Core already contained countless Electrons, which allowed Lu Chen to use the most powerful Annihilation Light Column more conveniently and quickly, without the need for the previous warming-up process.

"This is... this is not Crown Hole Radiation, it’s annihilation reaction, how could you possibly use it?" the Quasi-star was shocked.

As a Constant Star himself, he knew very well that Constant Stars are essentially powered by nuclear fusion, and annihilation reactions are generally used by biological civilizations. He had not expected Lu Chen to be able to do so!

But, surprise aside, the Quasi-star had no intention of dodging. Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t possibly be faster than the speed of light, so he was instantly hit by the million-meter-thick Annihilation Light Column.

Boom boom!

The million-meter-thick Annihilation Light Column pierced through the Quasi-star’s surface Nuclear Fusion Layer and fiercely struck the core White Dwarf Star, leaving dense, numerous cracks across the highly dense White Dwarf Star, and causing a terrifying explosion on the surface of the White Dwarf Star, the power of the explosion briefly surpassing the nuclear fusion itself!

One can imagine just how terrifying the energy level of this strike was!
