The Lord of Light fired thermal energy beams at the Wandering Planet, reheating the planet’s surface, melting the Planet Engine, and turning mountains and rocks into magma!
On the Wandering Planet, countless lives wailed in despair, ultimately consumed by the fiery sea of lava.
Watching its masterpiece, the Lord of Light was immensely satisfied. Next, it only needed to implant one of its Split Bodies into the planet’s core, where it would devour the core’s energy and grow. When it broke free from its cocoon, it would surpass the Planet Devourer phase and become a Constant Star Giant Beast!
"The Lord of Light has attacked the Wandering Planet!" Those evacuated from the Deer Tail Star witnessed the changes on the Wandering Planet, and their hopes, which had just risen, were dashed once again.
"Deer Tail Star is under attack, the Wandering Planet is also destroyed, and the Zerg are rampant in space. We’re finished!"
"We should have evacuated earlier!"
"This Star System will become our grave!"
Despair and pessimism spread among the crowd, unable to conceive any way to repel or eradicate the Zerg.
Meanwhile, inside the Wandering Planet, Commander Meng Hai was checking the internal situation of the planet.
"The planet’s surface temperature is rising, and all our bionic robots have been destroyed," reported the planet’s intelligent core.
"Currently, the thermal energy beams haven’t penetrated our thermal insulation shell, so we’re temporarily safe."
This was an artificial planet, also a War Star Weapon, designed with such issues in mind.
The Lord of Light had not anticipated that, while it destroyed the planet’s surface, the planet itself was hollow!
"Fleet, evacuate and avoid the Lord of Light." He Xingzhou simultaneously issued the order, as the third squad’s objective had been achieved, which was to lure the Lord of Light here.
"Retreat, go to Deer Tail Star to support the second squad!" The ships of the third squad evacuated one by one, as if avoiding the Lord of Light.
"Humans are already frightened!" The Lord of Light did not pursue, instead ordering other Constant Star Giant Beasts to give chase.
It began to enjoy the fruits of its victory.
A large hole appeared in the Lord of Light’s body, and a Light Cocoon slid out, flying towards the Wandering Planet.
"It’s getting closer!" Meng Hai monitored the distance, anticipating the Light Cocoon’s approach to the Gold Battle Star, and noting how close the Lord of Light was to the Gold Battle Star.
"The time has come!" At the Blue Star Alliance Command Headquarters, the Commanders’ nerves were tense; disguised for years, they had been waiting for this moment!
"Initiate the attack, eliminate the Lord of Light!" shouted He Xingzhou.
Meng Hai received the order and commanded, "Activate the main cannon of the Planet Destruction Cannon, aim for the Lord of Light. Use the energy cannon with the secondary cannon to attack the Light Cocoon, but don’t shatter it, as it’s our important research target."
"Main cannon is starting up..."
"Secondary cannon is activated."
The main cannon of the Planet Destruction Cannon, due to its massive size, requires some time to start up.
The secondary cannon attacked first, with energy weapons bombarding the Light Cocoon, gradually wearing down its protective shield.
"What? Someone’s still alive?" The Lord of Light noticed that someone was attacking its Light Cocoon.
As it attempted to lock onto the opponents to destroy them, it detected something amiss.
The lava surface of the Wandering Planet suddenly split open, revealing a huge gash in the ground, yet the lava ocean did not pour in, blocked by a strong magnetic field on both sides.
The dark crevice seemed to lead straight to the planet’s core.
"Is this a human weapon?" The Lord of Light sensed a strong energy reaction, the result of a planet-level Antimatter Reactor operating at full power.
"War Star, this is a War Star Weapon!" The Lord of Light realized it had been tricked; this planet was no Wandering Planet, but a War Star!
"How could this be? How could the Blue Star Civilization have a War Star? Could it be that an advanced civilization from the Order Alliance has arrived?" Inside, the Lord of Light was utterly terrified, opting to abandon the protection of the Light Cocoon and its attack target, planning to flee.
In its memory, a War Star was sufficient to deal with a Starry Sky Giant Beast; it, as a Constant Star Devourer, couldn’t compete.
"What kind of weapon is that?" The residents of the Ice Sea Civilization watched the scene unfold through battlefield news, extremely shocked.
They had originally thought the Wandering Planet was destroyed, but who knew there was more beneath its surface!
The Lord of Light rapidly fled, noting that the opponent hadn’t locked onto it with a Gravity Weapon.
"What’s happening?" While escaping, the Lord of Light observed. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovelfire.net
It saw within that crevice emerged a realm of absolute darkness.
"It’s Antimatter, this scale, not good!" The Lord of Light realized that light had been annihilated by a reaction with the material, preventing any light information from reaching it.
And the mass of Antimatter had surpassed its capacity to withstand.
"Planet Destruction Cannon, fire!"
On the Gold Battle Star, the Planet Destruction Cannon finally launched its attack!
Countless Antimatter was accelerated through the magnetic field barrel, shooting towards the Lord of Light.
At this moment, the Lord of Light could not escape via Warp Speed. With no choice, it released its internal energy, forming a planet-sized Light Shield to face the Planet Destruction Cannon!
All of these were high-temperature Plasma. If used for an attack, it could possess the power of a Dyson Beam, vaporizing a planet into gas!
Under normal circumstances, the Lord of Light would never release so much energy to attack, as consuming this mass and energy would take many years.
Now, driven to desperation, it no longer cared about any of that; all its Light Shields were to protect its Crystal Core from harm!
