They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 433 Hell Star
【Colonial Clothing】

With a thought, black germ cells quickly covered his entire body.

A ferocious suit of armor, brimming with a sense of life and power, took shape on his body, and the sensory crystals on his head shone with a deep light.

The super-sensory system of the bio-armor was activated instantly. Zhang Qi locked his visual focus on the newly appeared point of light, and his field of vision zoomed in and out at a geometric progression.

After traversing hundreds of millions of kilometers of distant space, the true face of that "star" was revealed in Zhang Qi's sensory world in exquisite detail.

Those weren't stars at all.

That was an eye.

An eye so enormous that it cannot be measured in any known unit.

Its "whites" are chaotic, dark matter churning with nebula dust, while its central "pupil" is a pure, absolute void that can devour even light.

It was there, silently suspended in the dark abyss of the universe, as if it had existed since the beginning of creation.

The moment Zhang Qi's senses "gaze" at it, that eye seemed to "look" back as well.

boom--!
What followed was an immense will that defied description, transcending the boundaries of time and space, and instantly descending upon Zhang Qi's sea of ​​consciousness.

Resentment, despair, hatred, madness, destruction... all the most extreme negative emotions that living beings can generate before their demise, like millions of years of sedimentation, transform into a torrent of spirit at this moment, washing over his soul.

He seemed to hear the wails of countless civilizations, see countless planets shattering, and feel the immense lament and pure malice of all things heading towards their end.

Faced with this will, Zhang Qi's personal consciousness was as insignificant as a speck of dust.

Just as his soul was about to be completely submerged and assimilated by this ocean of despair, Zhang Qi's body reacted instinctively.

Gene Lock, Stage 3, Activated!
At the same time, he also connected to that unique network that belonged to him—a collection of consciousnesses called "Zhang Qi" that spanned countless parallel worlds.

If that immense will was a boundless ocean, then Zhang Qi at this moment was no longer a lone boat, but had instantly transformed into an equally vast body of water formed by the convergence of countless streams.

The immense mental pressure that was enough to crush even a god suddenly eased.

Zhang Qi's consciousness broke free from the edge of being crushed and regained some breathing space.

He abruptly took a step back, his breastplate heaving violently, his face beneath the helmet completely drained of color.

"S-"

"Is he really here?..."

Zhang Qi gasped for breath, snapping back to reality, and his expression turned serious.

He had already anticipated the existence of this thing when he encountered Tomie...

In Junji Ito's worldview, the most extreme and unsolvable catastrophe of world destruction.

Hell Star.

……

To verify the speculation that could drive anyone crazy, Zhang Qi immediately sought out Chu Xuan.

After several twists and turns, they managed to gain access to the Japanese National Astronomical Observatory through the channels of the Countermeasures Bureau.

For various strange reasons, this place has fallen into a semi-paralyzed state, but the core equipment is still operational.

When Chu Xuan input the spatial coordinates recorded by the Qiangzhi Armor into the host computer and directed the huge radio telescope array to that area of ​​airspace, his perpetually icy face showed a fluctuation beyond the data for the first time.

The cold, hard observation data and the trajectory diagram processed by the supercomputer were projected onto the main screen.

A blood-red, straight vector line, at an absurd angle, runs through the entire model of the solar system.

"Based on the gravitational lensing effect and redshift data, its mass is immeasurable and it is moving toward us at a speed far exceeding the speed of light, which completely violates the known laws of physics."

Chu Xuan's voice remained steady, but it carried a hint of dryness that even he himself was unaware of.
"More importantly, according to multi-band spectroscopic observations, the presence signals of all celestial bodies in its path have completely disappeared." ...

The atmosphere inside the temporary command center of the Countermeasures Bureau was as oppressive as solidified lead.

The entire Zhongzhou team was present, and everyone's face showed undisguised fatigue.

The battles against the cursed spirits over the past few days have pushed their mental and physical strength to the limit.

When Zhang Qi and Chu Xuan revealed their latest discovery, everyone was stunned.

"Devouring...the stars of a planet?"

Li Xiaoyi's mouth opened slightly, he swallowed, and his face turned pale at a visible speed.

"Brother Zhang Qi, you...you guys aren't joking, are you?"

His voice trembled noticeably.

"Although I really want to say it's a joke,"

Zhang Qi shrugged, his tone heavy.
"But this thing has already appeared within the solar system. In just a few days, all the astronomical organizations in the world will be observing similar phenomena."

"Hellstar... It moves through the universe at faster-than-light speeds, ignoring all physical laws... It will directly smash or tear apart everything in its path with gravitational disturbances, the moon, Mars... everything..."

Li Xiaoyi swayed, as if all his strength had been drained, and slumped into a chair, muttering to himself absentmindedly.

Dead silence.

Li Xiaoyi's words sent a chill down everyone's spine in the conference room.

Zheng Zha clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles making a slight cracking sound from the excessive force.

His immense power, enough to kill a level-one cursed spirit with a single punch, seemed so insignificant and powerless in the face of this planetary-level catastrophe.

He couldn't even find a target to throw a punch at.

"Damn it! I even beat the cursed spirit to a pulp, and now I'm going to get crushed by a broken star? Are you kidding me!"

The overlord slammed his hand on the table, his eyes bloodshot as he growled.

Zero subconsciously wiped his Gauss sniper rifle, but the cold metallic touch did not bring him any sense of security for the first time.

A sense of despair called "helplessness" weighed heavily on everyone's heart, like the most vicious curse.

In the midst of this suffocating silence, Zhan Lan's voice rang out, though faint, it was exceptionally clear.

"There must be... another way, right?"

She looked at Zhang Qi, a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
"If I remember correctly, the giant armor was made using the technology of the Descendants' spaceships, and it should have the ability to survive and travel in outer space."

These words were like a pebble thrown into stagnant water, stirring a faint ripple in the numb eyes of the crowd.

"Theoretically, it is possible, but we have less than half a month and an Earth that is half paralyzed by curses and panic."

Even if a miracle happens and we build a spaceship, will we have a way to escape this star that can travel at the speed of light?

However, Zhang Qi simply shook his head, rejecting the proposal.

His words plunged the conference room into an even deeper, more deathly silence than before.

"Does that mean we have no other options left?"

"I can't speak," Zhan Lan said weakly.

"So, we only have one choice: to shatter this star..."
