Somewhere in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way, a red star is silently burning.

Its glow was no longer as blazing as it had been in its youth, but it still radiated a warm and soft glow, illuminating the cosmic space around it and the three planets that had been following him.

The star has entered the twilight of its life, and once the core has been depleted of the heavy elemental nucleus reactions in its core, the star with a mass of three times the mass of the Sun will expand into a red giant, and in some cases, the core will merge into heavier elements.

The star then evolves into a degenerate form and returns some of the matter to the interstellar environment to help a new batch of stars form.

But this is a long time ago, even if the star has entered its twilight years, it will take hundreds of millions of years for it to expand rapidly and become a red giant.

For some civilizations, this star system has too few resources to provide, after all, there are young stars in the universe that are more abundant in material energy.

The three planets around this star also have nothing special to do, the most abundant is probably iron, and they are all dead planets with no signs of life.

Coupled with the fact that it is far away from shipping lanes and space gates, this star system has always been uninhabited, although it has been documented by all maps.

And in today's dead galaxy, a new change has finally appeared.

Under the shadow of the stellar light, a blinding light appeared out of thin air, and the space was distorted.

When the light dissipated and the space returned to normal, a figure appeared in the cosmic vacuum.

"Shhh...... The coordinates are a little problematic, the coordinates that are teleported are a little closer to the star, it seems that the celestial motion operation model that Wenshan gave me is a little backward, and it needs to be improved a little bit when there is time. ”

Looking at the star less than two light minutes away from him, Zheng Shu frowned, and a large number of protective magic arrays appeared on his body, resisting the stellar energy radiation at close range for him.

Behind him, the biomass space jump engine twitched abnormally, and the black carapace on the surface cracked, eventually exploding into a puddle of slime-mixed biological debris.

Even though Zheng Shu used a large number of magic circles in time to resist the excessively high energy radiation for it, in the face of the overwhelming mass and energy pressure of the stars, the space engine that was too "fragile" could not withstand the double squeeze of high gravity and high heat and collapsed.

It was a little pity to look at the collapsed space engine Zheng Shu, but he quickly restrained this emotion and turned to look at a few planets not far away.

Through the bloodline sense, he was able to sense that inside the three planets, there was a breath of life that he had once marked.

"Sure enough, this is one of their hiding bases. So it is through the earth's crust containing a lot of metals to block the detection of interstellar joint reconnaissance instruments, no wonder it can be hidden all the time. ”

The three planets in this star system are all metal planets with a lot of iron, and the iron content in the planet's soil can even exceed 50%, making it a real bonanza.

But because they are iron ore, these three planets are quite inexpensive for the high-tech civilization within the interstellar union, and they are not even comparable to ordinary rock planets.

After all, although iron is used in large quantities, it is completely a by-product of energy generation for civilizations that have reached a certain level of technology.

In addition to antimatter, whether it is heavy element fusion or light element fission, the final product of conventional energy production solutions is iron, and it is iron without any impurities at all.

The most important thing is that compared to the iron elements that need to be smelted in nature to be used, the iron produced in this way has no cost at all.

It is precisely for this reason that even if there is a large number of metal reactions inside these three planets, it will not attract the attention of interstellar joint inspectors.

The complex magic circle converged in Zheng Shu's eyes, causing his eyes to turn brilliant blue in a short period of time.

By constantly enhancing the power of the clairvoyant magic, Zheng Shu finally saw through the thick crust and various energy protection devices to see the situation inside the planet directly below.

At this time, the base inside the planet seemed relatively calm, after all, although the way Zheng Shu appeared was a little magical, his appearance did not look like an interstellar annihilation force, but more like a traveler who was lost in space because of an accident.

So there were just a few emergency fighters inside the base just in case, and other than that, there was not much action.

After all, it takes a lot of time and effort to build such a base, and there are not many such suitable galaxies even in the entire galaxy, if it is exposed, then the previous investment can be regarded as a waste.

Therefore, before confirming whether Zheng Shu has the ability to communicate with the outside world, the people at the base will basically not act rashly.

However, the otherwise peaceful interior of the base was soon interrupted by the sound of a cacophony of alarms, as the base's monitoring instruments discovered that the seemingly ordinary figure in the outside world suddenly appeared on the body of an energy fluctuation beyond common sense.

And as time passed, the energy level continued to grow rapidly, and the energy level soon reached the level of planet-level weapons.

"Gee, the reaction speed is pretty fast, but it's a little late now."

Standing in the void out of thin air, Zheng Shu smiled slightly as he watched the planet-level energy shields erupt from these three planets, and above his head, a huge magic circle was constantly gathering energy.

However, Zheng Shu's purpose in providing it with energy was not to let the circle release attacks such as shockwaves, but to make the circle more durable and durable.

Not far away, on the surface of the star, another huge circle is slowly taking shape.

Soon, as the circle on the surface of the star took shape, the diameter of the circle above Zheng Shu's head had also expanded to thousands of kilometers.

The surface of the three planets has opened up a large number of exits, making it look like a beehive. A steady stream of flying machines and combat creatures poured out of these exits like swarms, converging into three black clouds and flying towards Zheng Shu.

"It's really worthy of being a cosmic-level underworld force, even if it's just a hidden base, it has so much combat power."

Zheng Shu looked at the three black clouds flying towards him with a slight surprise, although most of them were unmanned machines controlled by supercomputers, but some of them were genuine biological weapons.

Every combat unit, if brought to Earth, can suppress the military power of the entire planet of Earth before it runs out of energy.

And such a terrifying force that could rule the earth was now converging on an unimaginable scale in front of Zheng Shu's eyes.

Carefully calculated, each black cloud has more than 100 million numbers, and this number is rising rapidly with the continuous surge of troops from within the three bases.

"Unfortunately, it's not strong enough."

Zheng Shu raised his arm indifferently and pointed to one of the three planets in the distance.

The giant circle above his head slightly reversed direction with his gestures, and the circle that originally only emitted a faint glimmer of light instantly released a violent brilliance, as if there was another small star in this galaxy for a moment.

At the same time, another giant circle that had penetrated deep into the interior of the star also emitted light.

Through the spatial passage between the two magic circles, the red-hot energy inside the star was teleported to the magic circle above Zheng Shu's head along with the operation of the magic circle.

The binding circles prepared in advance lit up one after another, and a large number of magic circles formed a long passage in front of the spatial teleportation circle, which looked like the barrels of the binding energy.

Due to the energy difference between the two sides, the terrifying power inside the star gushed out at the moment when the space circle was linked, and in an instant, a blazing pillar of light was formed under the adjustment of the massive restraint circle.

Not only was the energy restrained and the power became more concentrated, but the speed of the energy tide also became faster and faster under the acceleration of the layers of magic circles, and it hit the target planet directly.

In the face of such a simple and brutal but extremely terrifying attack, the combat units released by the planet also tried to defend, but in the face of the high-energy bombardment from the interior of the star, all combat units that tried to intercept disappeared in an instant.

After the black cloud composed of a large number of combat units was grazed by the giant energy light pillar, the most central combat unit was completely vaporized and disappeared, and the combat units at the edge of the light pillar were barely able to maintain their shape, but they were all destroyed by the high temperature.

Only a few lucky ones were able to dodge this attack, but they were also frightened by this terrifying attack and converged towards the other two black clouds without looking back.

Erasing the "black clouds" released by the planets, the front end of the energy light pillar is slightly lost and becomes unstable.

It immediately exploded when it touched the energy shield on the planet's surface, and although the heavy energy shield of the explosion kept fluctuating, it did allow the opponent to resist the first round of attacks.

However, with the continuous infusion of stellar energy behind them, this planetary-level energy shield only blocked for a short moment.

In the next moment, the energy shield generators scattered throughout the planet were collectively overloaded, and the huge heat even caused fire and explosion after fire inside the base.

But no one paid attention to these things anymore, because the horrific attack had fallen directly on the surface of the planet.

The surging and rough energy infusion caused the surface of the planet to turn from hard and cold rock to magma at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the entire planet emitted a faint red light.

The blazing light cannon that had been strengthened by Zheng Shu's restraint was still unswervingly drilling into the interior of the planet, and soon melted the specially reinforced crust of the outer layer of the planet and entered the interior of the planet that had been hollowed out.

After a brief period of calm, the planet, whose surface had completely turned into a sea of magma, erupted from the inside with a faint light, as if some light source inside that was difficult to conceal was about to erupt.

！！！！

The planet, which had long since turned crimson, silently exploded in the universe, bursting out a large amount of crimson liquid inside, and quickly cooled into metal in the vacuum of the universe.

The heavy crust and sturdy energy shield did not change the fate of the planet at all, and the whole planet burst open like an egg shot by an arrow.

Although no sound could be transmitted in a vacuum, everyone who saw this scene involuntarily accompanied the scene with a violent explosion in their hearts.

"Monster ......"

Looking at a base that had been completely destroyed in the blink of an eye, the commanders of the bases inside the other two planets couldn't help but let out a roar.

"All combat units spread out! The unmanned machine enters an overload state, and the biological combat unit is released from the genetic limit! Fast! It's absolutely impossible for him to use this trick continuously, and beat that guy to death while he's weak! ”

"How's the main gun charged? How long is it going to take?! Overload the energy-type power furnace for me, don't care if it explodes or not, survive first! Push all the energy into the engine for me, and don't be idle with the secondary gun, and shoot him in a pinning down and harassing way first! ”

"Open the emergency passage, I will take the initiative to meet the enemy!"

One order after another was issued from inside the two bases, and the two planets that had seemed to be ordinary suddenly revealed their hideous faces, and dense cannon barrels protruded from under the earth's crust.

One of the planets even split apart from the center, revealing a giant cannon barrel that looked like a black hole right in the middle of the planet.

At this moment, a large number of starlight-like energy clusters were constantly converging inside the barrel, gradually forming a dazzling mass of energy under the constraints of the restraint.

The excessive use of power has even caused the power furnace inside the base to be unstable, and this terrifying power furnace with an energy output comparable to the core of the planet is on the verge of exploding at any time.

But now they don't care about that, and they have to fight back before the other side is ready for the next attack.

It's a pity that Zheng Shu didn't give them a chance to fight back.

In the desperate gaze of everyone, the light cannon did not dissipate after blasting one planet, but became thicker because of the infusion of energy, and under the command of Zheng Shu's fingers, it began to "slide" towards the other two planets.

"Impossible!! With such a high output power, why didn't the energy ring he built appear disordered?! ”

The scientists inside the base exclaimed, feeling like the knowledge they had learned in their lifetime had collapsed.

Although they didn't quite understand the specific operation of the magic circle above Zheng Shu's head, they could roughly deduce how it worked through the effects.

It was beyond their imagination that this circle could draw energy from the stars, but it was unreasonable to be able to continue to use it after unleashing such a powerful cannonball.

To put it simply, if his energy structure could really withstand this level of power, then he wouldn't need to use the power of stars to directly destroy the planet in the first place.

"It can't !!" The screams of despair were engulfed in a surging pillar of energy in the next moment.
