Chapter 326 Fire! (4K)
For Zelos, the planet Aetherias was delicious inside and out.

The most crucial element is the deep ocean of liquid metal, which in a sense is a whole expanse of pseudo-stellar material imprisoned by planetary gravity. For Zelos, this is like discovering a "baby star" that has been stripped of its outer shell, leaving only a boiling core, without having to bear the risk of backlash when it devours a star.

The energy contained in each cubic kilometer of liquid metallic seawater is equivalent to the harvest that Zeros would gain from devouring an ordinary rocky planet ten thousand times.

However, this living planet appears to be particularly cautious.

The planet before us is inhabited by a civilization, and judging from the way it warns itself, it is clear that this civilization is quite intelligent and technologically advanced.

Therefore, Zelos decided to first probe the other party's background.

As a living planet, its methods of probing are also quite ingenious.

That is to launch a comet directly towards the planet Aetheria.

Zelos then began a series of preparatory actions.

Its rotation speed suddenly decreased by one-third, causing its surface to bulge due to the enormous gravitational inertia, instantly forming a ring planet "gravitational ridge" thousands of meters high.

The magnetic field around the body gradually formed a perfect energy gradient field, which compressed the atmosphere to a negative density level.

Under its influence, the comet chosen by it gradually elongates its orbit from a circle to an extreme ellipse, gradually accelerates, and finally bursts out towards the star Aetheria!

The ethereal being in charge of using the interstellar telescope clearly saw this scene and immediately issued a warning.

"Watch out! The enemy has launched a comet!"

The comet plunged into the plasma corona at a speed of up to 180 kilometers per second, tearing a massive rift tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter through the planet's outer shell and creating a spectacular inverted cone-shaped plasma fountain at the point of impact.

The cascading torrent of energy in the corona was forced to change course, becoming completely disordered in the aurora zone and bursting forth with unnatural purplish-black lightning.

Within the plasma corona, the comet gradually accelerated, eventually passing through it and reaching the next layer of iridescent clouds.

This dreamlike landscape has now undergone its most dramatic transformation in history.

The shockwave from the comet impact blasted a ring-shaped cavity nearly 8,000 kilometers in diameter into the sea of ​​clouds, with the cloud walls at the edge rolling outward at a speed of 3,000 meters per second, forming a giant cloud wave.

The immense kinetic energy and shockwaves spread out, forming a world-ending death storm.

In an instant, the entire planet Aetheria trembled violently.

The comet is still moving forward.

At this moment, the supercritical atmosphere becomes the most critical buffer zone.

The density here is extremely high, yet it maintains the fluidity of gas.

When a comet plunges into it, it does not cause a violent explosion like when it hits a solid object. Instead, it is as if it has fallen into an invisible gelatinous ocean, where its kinetic energy is gradually dissipated.

The supercritical fluid gradually dispersed and absorbed the comet's kinetic energy, transforming it into complex eddies within the fluid, thus forming hundreds of rotating gas clouds with diameters of thousands of kilometers.

Although the supercritical atmosphere mitigated the comet's most lethal impact with astonishing resilience, the aftershocks of the collision still spread like ripples, triggering a series of magnificent and dangerous anomalies in the deep structure of Aetheria.

The diamond rainbands were completely disrupted, and the aftershocks propagated through them, accelerating countless carbon crystals to the speed of sound, creating a crisscrossing cutting storm.

The liquid metal ocean where the Tomorrow Alliance is located is naturally no better off.

Under the influence of the aftershocks, the sea surface first sank abnormally, gradually forming a depression with a diameter of nearly 5,000 kilometers, as if the entire ocean was taking a deep breath.

Immediately afterwards, a colossal wave exceeding three thousand kilometers in height rose from the center of the depression. Its crest gradually cooled and solidified into a solid structure resembling a black metallic mountain. During this process, the solid structure could not withstand its own weight and collapsed. The shockwaves generated when it crashed back onto the sea surface gave rise to dozens of secondary giant waves, each hundreds of kilometers in size.

Tomorrow Alliance had no choice but to quickly increase altitude to avoid the giant waves and have the Iron Whale activate its gravitational wave controller for defense.

"My God! What on earth is going on?!" Yang Zheng gritted his teeth and exclaimed.

At this moment, he felt as if the entire planet Aetheria was shaking violently.

"It's probably that the living planet that launched some kind of attack!"

As he spoke, Li Ye looked up.

"It's time to fight back, you Voidlings!"

At this moment, all the ethereal beings in each layer of the planet Aetheria are ready.

Zelos's devastating attack actually had little impact on them, who were energy beings.

Looking at his homeland, ravaged and unrecognizable by the comet attack, a ethereal king roared in fury.

"fire!"

The planetary cannons that the Voidlings had modified and built on their home planet were now in use.

Located in the ocean of liquid metal, the "cannon barrel" was filled with plasma arcs under the energy injection of the Void Spirits, twisting violently like a giant red-hot snake, and the end began to evaporate due to the powerful energy.

The surrounding sea also boiled as a result, with countless metallic waves thousands of meters high bursting from the surface of the sea.

In the deep storm sea, the cannonball, forged by the Void Spirits and reaching a diameter of over a hundred kilometers, was launched.

As it passes through the diamond rain belt, the constraint rings used to stabilize the planetary structure successively overload.

In a supercritical atmosphere, superconducting circulation further accelerates the projectile.

A rainbow of clouds, with a carefully designed focusing array that gradually calibrates the trajectory of the projectiles, ensures they hit their targets.

Zeros, located in space, instantly became alert, his heart filled with extreme vigilance.

It vaguely sensed that the civilization of that planet had launched an attack on it.

Moreover, its attack methods are incredibly vast and magnificent.

In an instant, the brain of this living planet began to think at high speed.

Was it a high-tech attack?
Impossible. This gas giant simply doesn't have the conditions to develop industry.

Its doubts were quickly answered.

A projectile with a diameter of over 100 kilometers pierced through the plasma corona, carrying unstoppable momentum and kinetic energy as it flew toward it!
Zelos was instantly terrified.

"A planetary cannon! It's a planetary cannon!"

At this moment, although it was hundreds of kilometers away from the shell, it was too late to dodge.

After all, it is a planet-sized object, and changing its direction is a very complicated matter. It requires calculating its own gravity and trajectory in advance, and it needs to be done in a way similar to a "comet slingshot".

Under Zelos's horrified gaze, the shell finally struck it.

At the moment of impact, unprecedented kinetic energy and impact swept over it.

The surface of Zeros was instantly blasted into dozens of ring-shaped cracks with diameters exceeding a thousand kilometers, and its thick scales exploded like thin paper.

A mountain range exceeding 10,000 meters in height instantly rose around the impact point, but it quickly collapsed due to its own weight.

The area where it landed was completely destroyed, exposing the pulsating "blood vessels" and "veins" below—formed by a certain type of planetary cell from Zelos.

These blood vessels and veins, which should have been buried deep beneath the earth's crust, are now exposed to the sky like ripped-out viscera, with fluorescent green liquid flowing on their surface.

That's probably Zelos's blood.

The shell gradually pierced the surface, penetrating deep into the Earth's crust, causing unparalleled destruction. Zelos let out an unprecedented wail.

But soon, it keenly realized something.

While the planetary cannons are indeed powerful, they may be the only means of attack available to the civilization of Aetheria.

As expected, there was no further activity from the planet Aetheria in the following period of time.

Although Zelos was badly wounded by the bombardment from the planetary cannon, he still retained some power.

It once again traveled towards the planet Aetheria via a comet slingshot.

As the distance gradually shortened, Zelos felt a rare sense of joy.

Finally, it's time to eat.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the planet Aetheria, it slowly opened its mouth wide—the rift that was already thousands of kilometers deep suddenly expanded, and the earth's crustal muscles rolled up like a volcanic eruption, revealing a dark, colossal vortex beneath.

This is a natural devouring field formed by Zelos distorting its internal structure with its own mass.

As it manipulates its own gravitational field, a reverse-pulling gravitational tornado is formed, and the matter in the plasma corona is like fluid being sucked in by a giant mouth, forming a plasma torrent with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers.

This living planet greedily devours matter from the plasma coronal layer, much like it's sucking up noodles.

A liquid metal ocean.

The members of Tomorrow Alliance sensed something was wrong once again.

"What happened up there?" Li Ye couldn't help but turn his head and ask a nearby spirit.

As energy beings, the Void Spirits can manipulate energy to create different frequency bands in order to communicate messages in different atmospheres.

The ethereal being before them was the messenger for the Alliance of Tomorrow, responsible for informing them of the real-time battle situation.

“Zeroth has reached the vicinity of our homeworld!” the Voidling replied. “My God, it’s currently consuming the plasma corona!”

".Is that so?"

Li Ye's expression changed slightly.

He really wanted to help, but if the Tomorrow Alliance wanted to reach space, it would have to cross several atmospheres, which was tantamount to going back and forth through hell.

"Leader, is this planet doomed?" Fang Yong murmured, sweat beading on his face.

The planetary cannon can only fire one projectile, and after firing, it also collapses due to the powerful recoil.

Apart from that, he could hardly imagine any other means to effectively harm this living planet.

However, the ethereal kings appeared exceptionally confident.

"Don't worry," a ethereal king said calmly, "the destruction of the plasma corona isn't necessarily a bad thing for us."

As time passed, the plasma corona was nearly depleted under the gravitational pull of Zeros. This once glorious gas giant now resembled a king stripped of his finery, revealing its fragile and true nature.

The unobstructed rainbow-colored sea of ​​clouds was thus revealed to Zelos's eyes.

After digesting the food, Zelos's injuries improved somewhat.

It looked with delight at the rainbow-colored sea of ​​clouds before it.

For this living planet, the special photoactive gases and organic aerosols contained in the iridescent cloud sea atmosphere are like a powerful nerve stimulant.

This not only boosts its spirits but also relieves pain.

Unwittingly, it suddenly saw the ethereal spirits in the rainbow-colored sea of ​​clouds.

After seeing the physical structure of the Voidlings, Zelos immediately understood.

It turns out to be an energy-based being.

It should have thought of that earlier.

Fragile carbon-based life forms would have no chance of surviving on such a gas giant planet, and while silicon-based life forms are more resilient, they too would not be able to withstand it.

Gaseous life forms are best suited to live here, but their civilization development is limited.

Only energy-based beings could perfectly combine the characteristics of each atmosphere to create such a terrifying planetary cannon.

Looking at the Voidlings before him, Zelos's anger from his injury dissipated by more than half, and he felt a surge of respect.

After all, these energy beings are fighting to protect their home.

But he's very hungry now.

However, just as Zelos was about to make another move, it suddenly felt an unprecedented pain and burning sensation erupting throughout its body.

Almost instantly, countless beams of light appeared from the rainbow-colored sea of ​​clouds and fell upon it.

This is an aurora energy beam created by the spirits in the rainbow cloud sea. Its principle is to synchronously form a huge lens with the cyclones in the cloud sea in order to focus the light to form a beam.

Moreover, the carbon crystals in the diamond rainbands were also reorganized under the manipulation of the ethereal beings, and trillions of diamonds were thus magnetized to generate autonomous guidance warheads, which were then launched with a roar.

The ethereal beings located in the supercritical atmospheric ocean are responsible for manipulating the ocean currents to contract, gradually accelerating these "miniature diamond missiles" to form a barrage spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Each of these meticulously modified diamond missiles contains destructive power capable of tearing apart the flesh and blood of a planet.

Without the obstruction of the plasma corona, they hit Zelos directly.

In an instant, an unprecedented explosion of ripples erupted from the surface of Zelos.

The combination of the aurora energy beam and the diamond missile swarm made it feel as if its body was about to be completely torn apart.

It gradually became aware of something that terrified it.

If I don't leave soon, I'm really going to die.

So Zelos had no choice but to muster the last bit of strength in his body and use the comet slingshot to escape.

At this moment, its body was already in a terrible state of disrepair.

Unable to capture Aetheria, it had to choose another target—the planet thousands of kilometers away.

"I hope there is no civilization on that planet," it thought wistfully.

This injury will be enough for it to recover for a very long time after it finishes eating.

Using the comet slingshot, Zelos gradually accelerated and headed towards its new destination.

At the very bottom of its core ganglion, a set of quantum codes inscribed by the strong interaction force lies dormant.

The material of this serial number is not ordinary matter, but is composed of information particles frozen in spacetime folds, which will only become visible when the planet is exposed to gravitational waves of a specific frequency.

And its content is
"Production number: X-Ω-7249".
