Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Escaping After a Blunder

"It seems this is your plan!"

Lu Chen immediately understood that the reason why Constant Star Silver suddenly turned around was to cover for Kim to emit Crown Hole Radiation from behind.

Because of the high temperatures on the surface of the star, the Double Star Civilization couldn’t use conventional solid weapons and could only use attacks with Particle Energy which wouldn’t be destroyed by the heat.

The stars were even better at this tactic, so they planned to have Silver draw Lu Chen’s attention, while Kim would fire Crown Hole Radiation from behind, catching him off guard and shattering the convection layer of Constant Star Lu Chen.

They had simulated this plan countless times in their calculations, incorporating the flight speed of the Crown Hole Radiation, the flight speed of Constant Star Silver, and even the short lateral distance that Silver would eventually move; all were within their calculated range. In order for the Crown Hole Radiation to hit Lu Chen from Silver’s surface unexpectedly, they had even told Silver the calculated flight speed and the gradually deviating angle trajectory, instructing Silver to follow it exactly.

Otherwise, even the slightest error would result in Silver being hit by the Crown Hole Radiation.

It can be said that their plan was a risky gamble, but Silver executed it very well.

During the process of closing in on Lu Chen, Silver had been deviating at a very small angle, until at the end, a slight lateral move was all it took to perfectly avoid the trajectory of the Crown Hole Radiation, allowing it to strike Lu Chen unexpectedly.

At this very moment, the Crown Hole Radiation, as planned, fiercely shot towards the center point of Constant Star Lu Chen.

Faced with the sudden onslaught of Crown Hole Radiation, even Lu Chen dared not be careless.

He could see that the 200,000-meter-wide Crown Hole Radiation was the maximum power that Constant Star Kim could wield.

If it really hit him, although it would not be fatal, it would certainly have a significant impact on the two convection layers and the core’s Nuclear Fusion Zone, which was clearly the strategic objective of the opponent.

Therefore, Lu Chen immediately controlled the gas flow on the stellar surface to form a 200,000-meter-wide Crown Hole, from which a blazing Energy Beam shot out from the pitch-black Crown Hole, violently colliding with the oncoming Crown Hole Radiation!

Boom!

The collision of the two 200,000-meter-wide Crown Hole Radiations caused a terrifying explosion, sweeping catastrophic Energy Waves into the space around, the intense flashes of lighting up the dark void, creating an extreme spectacle of electrical detonation!

Since the explosion occurred relatively close to Lu Chen, about 30,000 kilometers outside the Roche limit, he was also somewhat affected.

However, fortunately, the fierce Energy Wave only blew some Hydrogen off the star’s surface and did not affect the internal environment.

"Phew!"

Seeing this, Lu Chen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It had to be said that the combat power of a life community was far stronger than that of single Celestial Civilizations or biological civilizations.

If he had only faced Silver, a single Celestial Civilization, he wouldn’t have been pushed to such a state, and could even use the advantage of Constant Star Mass to easily tear Silver apart and consume it.

But now, with a whole team behind Silver strategizing for him, the combat power displayed was on a completely different level.

This was the first time Lu Chen had battled a real life community, and with this experience, he finally began to understand the terrifying attributes of a life community.

A life community is a group of wisdom that complements each other’s weaknesses and maximizes their advantages.

Moreover, this was a comparatively lower-level life community. If the members of the life community were Level 3 Civilizations or Level 4 Civilizations, it would undoubtedly be even more horrifying!

"No, that’s not right!"

Just as Lu Chen was beginning to relax, a sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.

He immediately became vigilant and looked in the direction where the energy fluctuations were intense, only to see a 400,000-meter Crown Hole Radiation speeding towards him at the speed of light!

"Now that you’ve noticed, it’s too late. This is our real strategic attack, the previous Crown Hole Radiation was just a feint to deceive and paralyze you. Now we’ve doubled the energy level of the Crown Hole Radiation, your 75 Constant Star Masses will definitely be unable to withstand it!"

After launching this strike, Silver laughed complacently; he seemed to have seen the dawn of victory.

As it turned out, this was their real strategic plan.

They had already calculated Lu Chen’s Constant Star Mass and Nuclear Fusion Rate.

Knowing that with Lu Chen’s Constant Star Mass, he should be able to fire a Crown Hole Radiation approximately 250,000 meters in diameter, while Constant Star Gold and Silver only have 70 Constant Star Masses, capable of firing one up to 200,000 meters at most. A mere 200,000-meter thick Crown Hole Radiation could certainly not strike Lu Chen.

Because Lu Chen would certainly intercept with his Crown Hole Radiation.

Therefore, the first step of their plan was to pretend to ambush, then use the cover of the explosion’s Energy Wave, while Gold and Silver each launched their most powerful Crown Hole Radiation and fused them into one 400,000-meter thick Crown Hole Radiation.

Faced with this Crown Hole Radiation whose energy level was doubled, Lu Chen could at best fire a 250,000-meter thick Crown Hole Radiation, which would definitely be unable to resist, and in the end, he would be hit by the 400,000-meter thick Crown Hole Radiation, penetrating both layers of the convective zone and causing disruption in the nuclear fusion reaction area.

Although this was still not enough to truly kill Lu Chen, they could take the opportunity to quickly retreat while Lu Chen was stabilizing his Constant Star Body.

This plan had also been calculated countless times by the Double Star Civilization, and every calculation came to the same conclusion, which is why they implemented it with confidence.

However, they still underestimated Lu Chen.

And, they had only calculated Lu Chen’s paper strength as a Constant Star.

But they could never have imagined that Lu Chen was actually hiding even stronger attack methods that he had not used.

Luckily, Lu Chen was smart enough not to reveal his full hand from the start; otherwise, if all the information had been calculated by the opponent, the situation would be very uncertain.

At this moment, watching the Crown Hole Radiation that was rapidly approaching at the speed of light, Lu Chen couldn’t help but smirk coldly: "It seems this is your real plan, it’s just too bad, I didn’t go all out from the beginning either!"

Having said that, Lu Chen immediately initiated collisions between positrons and electrons outside the atmosphere, unleashing the Annihilation Light Column.

With Lu Chen’s current 75 Constant Star Masses, the Annihilation Light Column he could unleash had been boosted to a thickness of two million meters!

Under the two-million-meter Annihilation Light Column, the 400,000-meter Crown Hole Radiation looked like a slender pipe, instantly scattered by the wave-like Annihilation Light Column, and then, the overwhelming aftermath of the Annihilation Light Column struck the unsuspecting Constant Star Silver, penetrating its convective layer and brutally bombarding the nuclear fusion reaction area!

Taking advantage of the turmoil in the nuclear fusion region inside Constant Star Silver, Lu Chen quickly made his move, finally pulling the distance between them to within his Roche limit. As his mass was five more than Silver’s, he could directly control Gravity to tear apart and absorb Silver!

This scene happened in the blink of an eye.

When Double Star Civilization and Gold realized what was happening, they saw that Lu Chen had already begun to tear Silver apart.

However, this was not the most helpless part, what was truly hopeless was that they had no means of rescue at the moment.

They had never expected that Lu Chen could use the Annihilation Light Column, and to such a terrifyingly extreme extent of two million meters!

Although the Double Star Civilization also understood Annihilation Technology, to launch an Annihilation Light Column of the same energy level would be impossible even if they expended all the resources of a Level 2 Civilization.

After all, compared to the massive Constant Star Celestial Civilizations, biological civilizations were far too insignificant!

In the end, after a painful realization and communication, the helpless Constant Star Gold, along with the Double Star Civilization of the Double Peak Star, swiftly retreated. Otherwise, if they waited until Lu Chen finished absorbing Silver, they probably would not be able to escape themselves.
