Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Helium Flash

In the dark vastness of space.

A violent explosion occurred on the surface of the Quasi-star, and the luminosity instantly increased several folds.

The Wandering, stationed on the far side of the Constant Star Lu Chen, was all lit up, turning into a massive reflective planet.

Witnessing such a terrifying spectacle ahead, the Wandering was utterly shocked, praising how terrifying the boss’s power was, to be able to harness the Annihilation Light Column to such an extent of a million meters!

Yet, what shocked the Wandering even more was the situation of the Quasi-star.

Following the turbulent surge, the atmosphere of the Quasi-star gradually calmed down.

And the nuclear fusion reaction within the atmosphere, after being bombarded by the Annihilation Light Column, seemed to become even more vigorous!

"I admit, using annihilation, your way of attack is indeed powerful, but it’s too bad it’s hard to kill a star!"

Finding that its body only had some cracks and wasn’t seriously damaged, the Quasi-star laughed coldly with reassurance.

However, before its cold laughter could stop, it noticed a strange change within its body!

At the same time, Lu Chen’s indifferent laughter came: "Of course, I know this can’t kill a star, so this is not my real killing move!"

It turned out, the Annihilation Light Column was just a decoy, the real killer move was the Constant Star Gravitational Wave that Lu Chen secretly used. While the Quasi-star was focused on the Annihilation Light Column, Lu Chen utilized the Gravity Stone to unleash the Constant Star Gravitational Wave, directing it right into the center of the Quasi-star.

By the time the Quasi-star realized, a transparent space vortex had already formed at the center of the White Dwarf Star, and under the laws of the vortex, any matter, no matter how dense, had only one path—to turn into dust. The instant transformation of material structure also created tremendous tearing force, making the already cracked White Dwarf Star even more battered and hole-riddled!

"How is that possible? With your mass, you shouldn’t be able to use the Constant Star Gravitational Wave!"

The Quasi-star knew what hit it, but disbelief remained, Lu Chen could actually use the Constant Star Gravitational Wave, something he couldn’t even use when he was still a Constant Star.

Then, the Quasi-star suddenly realized, Lu Chen must have many secrets on him; if it could grasp those, the benefits would be unfathomably immense!

In an instant, the Quasi-star’s murderous intent towards Lu Chen deepened!

Lu Chen said: "That’s why I said you are too self-confident. Growing to a Constant Star, it’s no longer purely a matter of mass."

"Hmph, really?"

The Quasi-star scoffed, "But it seems your boasted killer move has no effect on me, all your calculations are just a waste of effort!"

The Quasi-star had carefully examined its own body and found that apart from the center turning into dust, there was no serious damage. As long as its mass wasn’t lost, even if turned into dust, controlled compression by its own gravity would still turn it back into solid state, nothing to worry about!

"One move certainly doesn’t have a big effect, but use a few more and you may not be able to withstand it. Most importantly, this move doesn’t cause any mass loss, I can use it indefinitely!" Lu Chen was very clear about the power of the Constant Star Gravitational Wave, but he wasn’t worried at all, after all, if once doesn’t work, use it ten times, if ten times don’t work, use it a hundred times.

He really wasn’t afraid of anything.

Following that, Lu Chen relentlessly attacked the Quasi-star with the Constant Star Gravitational Wave Attack.

After resisting a few hits, the Quasi-star realized that its compression speed couldn’t keep up with the breaking speed, the dust range inside the White Dwarf was getting larger and larger. Realizing that this situation would be grim, the Quasi-star began attempting to dodge and move.

However, gravity spread in the form of waves.

No matter where the Quasi-star hid, as long as it was within the range of effect, it would always be hit, causing horrendous consequences.

This relentless tactic frustrated the Quasi-star greatly, and it had no idea how to counter Lu Chen’s attack.

It had tried many things, such as increasing the nuclear fusion rate on the surface of the White Dwarf, trying to use the impact of a Constant Star Storm or the nuclear fusion to resist the Gravitational Wave Attack.

Unfortunately, all methods were completely ineffective.

It seemed that gravity and those forces were simply not of the same dimension.

In the end, the Quasi-star floated aimlessly in space, giving up all resistance, completely disheartened.

Seeing this, Lu Chen also stopped the attack.

His original intention was not to kill the Quasi-star.

He mainly wanted to extract information about Earth Civilization from the Quasi-star’s mouth; he only resorted to violence because the other party was unwilling to speak.

Then, controlling his stellar body, he flew in front of the Quasi-star, looking down and said, "Are you willing to talk now? Where on earth did you encounter Earth Civilization?"

"I once encountered a biological spaceship and obtained something from them. You will understand after you’ve seen it," the Quasi-star finally replied after a long silence, seemingly hesitant for a long time inside.

After finishing speaking, it controlled the movement within its body, preparing to take out that peculiar object.

For Earth, Lu Chen had always been yearning, and now that the clue was right in front of him, right at the Quasi-star, he suddenly became excited and slowly moved toward the Quasi-star.

The Wandering also followed behind very curiously, wanting to see what the object would be.

Boom!

However, just as Lu Chen got close to a certain distance, the Quasi-star suddenly underwent a horrific explosion!

Initially, Lu Chen and Wandering thought that some accident had happened to the Quasi-star, even more afraid that the object about to be taken out had exploded, but then they realized that the explosion of the Quasi-star, after releasing huge energy in a very short time, suddenly contracted and cooled down violently, a coldness colder than vacuum temperature rapidly spreading into the universe.

Due to being too close, Lu Chen couldn’t retreat in time, directly making contact with this cold stream of particles.

The outermost high-temperature atmosphere of the star rapidly cooled under the continuous impact of the cold temperature, turning into a thin layer of hydrogen ice. However, the internal heat of the nuclear fusion reaction released immense heat, instantly vaporizing the hydrogen iceavigational, and the vaporized hydrogen, under the continuous impact of the cold temperature, turned back into hydrogen ice again.

Thus, the atmosphere of the star’s surface was caught in a drastic condition of ice and fire, one side near Absolute Zero cold, and the other side hot enough to vaporize any substance, the continuous conflict between ice and "flame" formed an increasingly thick layer of snow-like hydrogen ice!

Hydrogen turns into a snow-like solid state at -259 degrees!

From a distance, it looked like a cosmic war between the Ice God and the Fire God, the bright flame red and pure snow white forming a magnificent and stirring space oil painting.

"Big brother, what’s going on?"

The Wandering exclaimed, "How could that Quasi-star possibly unleash such terrifying low temperatures?"

"We might have been tricked!" Lu Chen spoke darkly: "If I’m not mistaken, this must be a Helium Flash!"
