Chapter 559: Chapter 332: The Lord of Light Appears The Zerg spies flew into outer space to observe. From outer space, the mass and volume of this planet did not seem large. Its surface held tens of thousands of towering Planet Engines spewing plasma intense flames. On the planet, there were still residents of the Ice Sea Civilization living, some on the surface, others underground. Since this planet was far from a constant star, the surface oceans were long frozen, so these people lived in underground cities beneath the Planet Engines, using the thermal energy from the engines to survive. No matter the perspective, this was a Wandering Planet. “The Wandering Planet has arrived!” The Zerg spies transmitted the intelligence back, causing all the insects to stir. “It’s our turn to enter the scene!” “Over the years, we have replenished our energy, just in time to use this opportunity to eradicate all intelligent life within this Star System!” “When it gets a bit closer, we attack!” The Zerg did not hasten to take action, fearing they’d scare off humanity. This Wandering Planet, for now, seemed capable only of sub-light speed flight. When it came a bit nearer, the insects could use warp travel, and it wouldn’t be able to escape. Over on Deer Tail Star, upon hearing news of the Wandering Planet’s approach, the residents could not wait any longer. Every day they observed its distance, and some even prepared ships, ready to move once the Wandering Planet approached. After about three months of travel, the Wandering Planet finally closed in on Deer Tail Star. The Blue Star Civilization announced that a migration event would occur in half a month. Just as the residents of Deer Tail Star were rejoicing, an anomaly occurred! The Constant Star Giant Beasts hibernating on Antler Star awakened one after another, flying out towards the Wandering Planet. “The Zerg have mobilized!” The reconnaissance department immediately reported the information. “They’ve finally mobilized!” He Xingzhou felt a sense of relief upon hearing this intelligence. He had been worried the insects would sit idly by, in which case, they would need a new excuse to keep this planet in the Star System. “Where is the Lord of Light?” He Xingzhou inquired. They had always used star detectors to locate the Lord of Light’s position. “The Lord of Light has also awakened. It is about to fly out from the constant star, but cunningly lets its subordinates spearhead the charge,” the scout reported. “In that case,” He Xingzhou ordered, “since the Lord of Light doesn’t show up, our fleet isn’t afraid of them. Deploy the Blue Star Civilization’s Guardian Fleet to attack. First, target the other Constant Star Giant Beasts, and the moment the Lord of Light appears, immediately retreat to the vicinity of the Gold Battle Star.” “Additionally, arrange for the residents of Deer Tail Star to evacuate immediately, in case the Lord of Light doesn’t play by the rules.” “Understood!” The subordinates promptly began executing the plan. The Zerg had been watching them all along, and as soon as they moved to evacuate, the Zerg would harass and attack. This time, the Zerg did likewise, but their calculations fell short. Several Planet Devourers approached Deer Tail Star, attempting to melt its crust. However, they were hit by Fast Particle Weapons from a light year away, with Resonance Torpedoes and kinetic energy weapons combining to strike directly at their Crystal Cores. Before the Planet Devourers could approach Deer Tail Star, they were shattered! “Kill, kill, kill!” The Constant Star Giant Beasts charged forward, quickly arriving near Deer Tail Star and the Wandering Planet. The human fleet had long been prepared, and the Blue Star Civilization’s Guardian Fleet comprised nearly eighty Warp Speed Battleships! Though most were Level 2 or below Warp Speed Battleships, their weapon systems were not low-grade, capable of rivaling Level 4 Warp Speed Battleships! In direct combat, speed at warp didn’t affect the battleship’s power. Meanwhile, the Blue Star Civilization had also crafted Level 5 Warp Speed Battleships, the Destruction Battleships. The Guardian Fleet served as the fleet protecting the Blue Star Civilization’s allies, with currently two Destruction Battleships in service. One Constant Star Giant Beast approached Deer Tail Star, only to be intercepted by a Destruction Battleship. “Target is within attack range!” “Attack!” The Destruction Battleship launched an assault immediately, with both the main and secondary cannons firing. The main cannon was a Fast Particle Weapon, an evolved version of the Fast Particle Light Spear— the Fast Particle Torrent. The Fast Particle Torrent carried more particles, naturally resulting in greater destructive power. In the blink of an eye, countless fast particles reached the Constant Star Giant Beast, its protective layer pierced instantly, and a large hole blasted into its massive body. “More Fast Particle Weapons!” The Constant Star Giant Beast was very vexed. It could only endure passively against these attacks. Fortunately, it was a stronger Constant Star Giant Beast compared to the Planet Devourers, able to recover quickly from the loss of that mass. “Human warships can attack me from afar with Fast Particle Weapons, but I can’t catch them. So, we should directly attack the planet. Unless they abandon it, they’ll have to come close to rescue, and then we’ll trap them all at once!” an insect suggested. At this time, the insects had been hit by a round of Fast Particle Weapons, with even two Constant Star Giant Beasts killed. Changing strategies, they ceased searching for the human fleet and began directly assaulting the planets. Over thirty Constant Star Giant Beasts headed for Antler Star, while others aimed for the Wandering Planet. “The enemy wants to encircle a point to hit the reinforcements!” He Xingzhou stated, “According to the original plan, split into three teams. The main force heads to Antler Star, cutting off the insects’ retreat route.” “The second team heads to Deer Tail Star to protect the planet and assist the residents in evacuating.” “The third team heads to the Wandering Planet, feigning an attack.” “Understood!” The fleet was quickly divided into three parts, with the first team being the strongest, and the second team barely capable of defense. As for the third team, they were purely for show, comprised entirely of lower-level Warp Speed Battleships. Though greater in number, their combat capability was weaker than that of the first and second teams. In the space battlefield near Deer Tail Star, the Constant Star Giant Beasts had already engaged the second team. Both sides launched attacks, with the Constant Star Giant Beast’s gamma rays having immense destructive power, while the warp speed battleships possessed equally formidable weapons. As both sides bore high-energy traits, the conflict was at a stalemate for a time. The Lord of Light observed the battle from afar. “The number of human warships heading for the Wandering Planet exceeds those going to Deer Tail Star.” Content originally comes from novel✦fire.net “Thus, the Wandering Planet’s defensive power is weaker, or this planet holds greater importance.” “If that’s the case, I shall first crush your hope, plunging you into despair!” The Lord of Light sped towards the Wandering Planet! The third team also engaged with the Constant Star Giant Beasts, but their strength was clearly insufficient, continually retreating. “So this is the Blue Star Civilization? Not that impressive!” The insects pressed on, swallowing the destroyed warships whole to transform them into their mass and energy. The human fleet kept retreating, backed to the defense perimeter of the Wandering Planet. “Almost secured the victory!” The insects intensified their assault. “This planet is mine. Get out of here!” Emerging from the warp bubble, the Lord of Light drove away the other insects. “Damn it, it was almost ours!” “We can’t afford to provoke it now; it’s a Constant Star Devourer!” “This guy probably plans to use this planet to incubate its Split Body.” “Working for nothing!” Despite their frustration, the insects didn’t dare defy the Lord of Light’s command. Some moved toward Deer Tail Star, others to other planets. Currently, humanity lacked the resources to monitor the other planets, allowing the insects to seize them all. Now that humans were spent, the Lord of Light cast its gravitational force upon the wandering planet, creating a spectacle as though a new sun had appeared in the sky! From the planet’s surface, the Lord’s radiance appeared even brighter than a constant star! Before it attacked, its emanating heat had already raised the Wandering Planet’s atmospheric temperature by over a hundred degrees Celsius, and its immense gravitational pull added further stress. The cumulative effects devastated the planet’s surface before any direct assault was launched!
