Chapter 688: Chapter 498: Shocking the Milky Way Galaxy (Part 1)
His girlfriend looked puzzled and said, "If that’s the case, why did the king announce such a thing to all races?"
"Who knows." Kulu replied offhandedly, "The rulers have their own thoughts, not something we common folk can speculate on. But I guess that intelligent being called Lu Li might be a bit special."
An old Celestial Deer Star person nearby interjected, "’Lord of Ten Thousand Stars’ has passed away, hasn’t he? I think this Earthling named Lu Li is very likely a candidate our king’s faction wants to support as the new ’Lord of Ten Thousand Stars’. That’s why they’re creating momentum in this way, so when the election comes around, everyone will vote for Lu Li."
"Right!"
"I think that’s possible."
"It’s definitely to build momentum for this Lu Li, otherwise, could he really control the power of an antimatter weapon?"
"Impossible, even the iron-based life forms, claimed to be the strongest in the cosmos, can at most avoid being harmed by antimatter bombs; they absolutely cannot control them."
"It seems this Earthling called Lu Li is preparing to run for the next ’Lord of Ten Thousand Stars’."
A lot of people around joined the discussion with mixed opinions.
Just like the Cybertron people, none of them believed that Lu Li really controlled the power of the antimatter bomb; they just thought he represented the Celestial Deer Star faction, ready to participate in the election of the Milky Way Galaxy.
...
Similar events continued to unfold across the Milky Way Galaxy.
"Really?"
"Controlled the power of an antimatter bomb?"
"This is way too sci-fi, I really can’t believe it."
"It’s right not to believe it; no matter how powerful an intelligent being is, it couldn’t accomplish such a feat."
"Exactly, this is an antimatter bomb, said to be much more powerful than the best antimatter bomb of the Kebi Race. Fine, let’s not even discuss if such a powerful antimatter bomb really exists; assuming it does, imagine this: an antimatter bomb capable of covering a range of twenty light-years—how much energy would it release? That power would probably be comparable to some smaller supernova explosions; it’s simply nonsense!"
"I don’t believe it’s true either."
"If there were such an incredible intelligent being, the Milky Way Galaxy would have long become its plaything, instead of allowing us to develop so peacefully."
"Alright, just listen to such things; don’t take them seriously."
Bieber Star!
Lick Star!
Xuyi Star!
Weaver Star!
Across the four spiral arms of the Milky Way Galaxy, almost every planet involved in the Four Major Spiral Arm Interstellar Alliance or the Galaxy Alliance was talking about this.
The sheer number of intelligent beings involved was a sum the capital city couldn’t describe.
The universal truth was that none of these intelligent beings believed in Lu Li’s sensational achievements.
Disbelief was one thing.
The other was that everyone remembered the name "Lu Li" and that there was a civilization called "Earth" in the Milky Way Galaxy.
...
Of course, not all intelligent races disbelieved that this event was real.
For instance, at the site of the incident on Kebi Star.
When they first heard about Didan thanking Lu Li, the Kebi people, like people from other planets, found it hard to believe it was true too.
Because of this, some Kebi netizens argued online for two or three days.
If someone were to browse through the social websites of the Kebi Race, they’d surely find remarks like "How could it be possible," "I’d never believe it," and such.
Indeed, even people at the incident site of Kebi Star didn’t believe it; how could others from different planets?
This situation persisted for two or three days.
Until around nine o’clock this morning.
The Cosmic Defense Department of the Kebi Race released an astonishing video.
This video was edited and not "one continuous take."
It couldn’t be helped; the explosive power of the antimatter bomb was just too massive. Once launched, it released vast amounts of antimatter, causing explosions in cosmic space and naturally destroying the Kebi probes spread out across the starry skies.
Most of these images were captured and relayed back to Kebi Star by the probes before they were destroyed; some were also taken by satellites orbiting Kebi Star.
Well, those satellites were protected by Lu Li with energy, so they weren’t destroyed by the antimatter bomb.
Regardless, this precious footage finally got released, showing people the truth.
On the largest social website of the Kebi Race,
countless netizens were watching a grand and magnificent spectacle.
In the footage, a massive antimatter bomb was launched from within the Hedal Spherical Star Cluster, spewing large amounts of antimatter as it flew at great speed.
As the antimatter spewed forth, the bomb jumped through space, and then the region drenched in antimatter erupted violently.
The sky was afire, as if the apocalypse had arrived.
Similar scenes played for about two or three minutes.
Until the antimatter bomb reached outside Kebi Star’s atmosphere, where it abruptly shattered.
At this moment, all the Kebi people watching the footage were horrified to discover that, despite having already released a lot of antimatter, the bomb still burst out with even more antimatter upon shattering.
In an instant, the entire sky outside Kebi Star was ignited with terrifying energy, forming an enormous "cosmic firewall."
This "cosmic firewall" resembled the plasma firewall at the edge of the solar system.
As the cosmic wave-like flames appeared, they swiftly spread towards Kebi Star.
Anyone could see that this flame moved at speeds comparable to the speed of light.
In other words, in the next moment, Kebi Star would be completely engulfed by the terrifying flames.
This was something everyone had experienced.
Even now, many couldn’t help but shiver upon seeing this scene.
In this critical juncture, suddenly a sparkle of starlight shot from the direction of the Holy Mountain to outside the atmosphere, spreading quickly to cover the entire Kebi Star.
No.
Not only did it cover Kebi Star, but it also enveloped the entire area within a light-year radius.
At this moment, within that light-year radius, it seemed to become an ocean of starlight.
That seemingly thin layer of starlight leaped continuously, denser than water in the ocean by thousands or tens of thousands of times over!
When the starlight filled the cosmos, it suddenly contracted, engulfing the terrifying power unleashed by the antimatter bomb’s explosion, as well as the potency of some small stars igniting, pulling it all inside.
Ultimately, an even more astonishing scene unfolded.
The starlight encasing the flames contracted tighter and tighter until it became a "marble."
This marble traversed cosmic space, returning to Kebi Star.
It landed in the hand of an upright walking intelligent being.
The footage, thoughtfully accompanied by captions, letting people know the intelligent being holding this starlight "marble" was none other than Lu Li.
Lu Li held and toyed with the starlight "marble" for a little while, then flicked it with his fingers, and it passed through Kebi Star’s atmosphere in an instant, leaving.
At this point, no one knew where the "marble" ultimately went.
The next frame revealed all mysteries.
Everyone only saw a marble suddenly appear on an artificial metal planet at the Galaxy Alliance Headquarters, then it hurled straight into the "Prophet Great Hall."
Upon the "marble" touching the "Prophet Great Hall," its frightening power erupted.
The scene on the screen was similar to a supernova explosion.
That intense light continually radiated in all directions.
Soon after, the footage cut again.
This time, it seemed to be a super distant shot.
Everyone saw a vast star region ahead, plunged into a sea of starlight and flame.
This situation persisted only for a moment, yet after the light dissipated, all Kebi people were horrified to discover that both the metal planet where the "Prophet Great Hall" was situated and hundreds of nearby stars had vanished without a trace!
Shock!
All Kebi netizens were shocked to the extreme!
No one had thought that what they previously deemed impossible was now vividly presented before their eyes.
At this moment, the Kebi people finally understood one thing.
That this intelligent being called "Lu Li" was indeed the deity from myth and legend!
Why was everyone so convinced?
Isn’t it obvious?
If not a true deity, how else could such a colossal power as an antimatter bomb be controlled?
And how else could a "marble" traverse over a hundred light-years in an instant to smash into the "Prophet Great Hall," destroying hundreds of stars?
All Kebi people were utterly dumbfounded.
One second later, short video sites, social networking sites, news portals on Kebi Star, and even every corner of real life exploded with activity!
