Wandering Meteor

A Science and Martial Battle Star approached the side of the Flame Nebula to investigate what lied beyond it. Just as the Flame Nebula was being torn into two parts by two invisible forces, the Science and Martial Battle Star happened to witness the entire process of it being forcibly split.

First, large cracks began to form from within the vast Flame Nebula, quickly turning from a bright red to a dark black. This change was just superficial; the real change was that high-energy, massive hydrogen molecules detached from the gas group. Without a subsequent energy supply, these molecules rapidly cooled down in the deep, dark space.

At first, these cracks were small and numerous, spider web-like within a certain area, but as the gravitational pull increased, these small cracks quickly spread and soon joined into one massive crack. When this giant crack formed, it marked the irreversible phase of the split, resembling black lightning, it rapidly propagated within the Flame Nebula, splitting it into two parts. Alongside the rapid expansion of this great crack, frequent lightning flashed on either side of it, a truly spectacular sight. Moreover, because the Science and Martial Battle Star was close, it could also pick up a strange noise—a weird, sharp sound, like that of two metals fiercely rubbing against each other.

Eventually, the Flame Nebula, originally composed of seven supernovae, split into two parts due to gravitational pull—one part contained six supernovae, and the other held merely one supernova along with a small Hydrogen Gas Group.

After these two irregular cloud masses flew past many light years, one plunged spectacularly into the accretion disk of a Quasar, shredded by the turbulent accretion disk material, becoming part of it; the other headed towards Constant Star Lu Chen. Lu Chen, by adjusting the horizontal angle of Wandering Star System, directed this cloud mass directly past the Heliosphere, and under the gravitational constraints of Constant Star Lu Chen, it orbited and was ultimately completely absorbed.

And it absorbed one-tenth of the mass of the Flame Nebula.

The mass of Constant Star Lu Chen increased by approximately one hundred thousand Constant Star Masses.

That is to say, the current mass of Constant Star Lu Chen is 1,677,000 Constant Star Masses.

As for the Quasar which absorbed nine-tenths of the Flame Nebula, its mass certainly increased by even more, but as the Quasar itself already possessed an abnormal mass, this slight increase was neither significant nor insufficient.

The Quasar, after absorbing nine-tenths of the Flame Nebula, did not stop there; it accelerated towards the Wandering Star System and tried to use its gravity to lock onto the Wandering Star System. Eventually, it sent a message that surprised Constant Star Lu Chen a great deal: "It was indeed you, last time you stole a star from me, this time I will definitely make you pay!"
