The rock is never late, and it is never early.

For stones do not count years. They don't pay attention to the time. However, the rock cares about some numbers. Quality. Diameter. Velocity.

Starting with these three things, most other things follow. The stone has a simple idea: if it encounters a problem, it will try to increase these three numbers, and more often than not, the problem will be solved.

It has been successful for so long.

So when the rock finally reached [Doomsday Meteor] after a long journey, it noticed the numbers.

It knows how quickly it can approach the other side. It knows how fast the other person grows in its sight. It can estimate things. With patient calculations in its head, the rock estimated the [Doomsday Meteor].

It's about...... 10,000 meters wide, assuming its density is the same as that of our hero, its weight may be around 1361 3556 816 5555 580 kg. Make a simple calculation of our rocks. The results are clear.

This is...... Much bigger than rocks.

But - the bigger rocks have no sparks. When it is thrown with its [cultivator] senses, our hero sees that there is no will to guide [Doomsday Meteor] forward, only the iron claws of gravity.

Is it disappointed? Maybe. Perhaps the stone hopes to eventually meet its kind. What would such a meeting look like?

The closest thing to it is the earth element, but that's the magic-controlled structure of the rock, not the actual rock itself.

A cousin at most.

So, when the rock sees a huge meteor without sparks, it doesn't feel sad because it doesn't know what it has lost. But any potential hope is dashed, and a journey full of anticipation becomes the norm.

It's business as usual.

However, the rock was in no hurry to fight its larger kind, nor was it in a hurry to destroy it. It also didn't try to absorb it into its asteroid swarm or use its gravitational abilities to derail it.

No, for a moment, the rocks just watched. and thoughts. It remembers the flesh-and-blood people who manipulated metal shells from the inside. A small thing, control a big thing.

The rock has an idea.

This system prohibits it from absorbing new mass directly, forcing it to grow only through layers. But our hero is not a man who follows the rules, when a more straightforward path is in front of him.

First, it tries.

The rock stopped the three concentric asteroid rings around it, pausing the eternal dance for a moment. Then it drew a deep well, a deep hole, in its place, and sat at the bottom of the well.

Other stones began to fall. Party. Gather.

Until the rock was covered by a huge layer of stones, and the volume expanded a hundredfold. Feel...... Very good. It's like something that makes sense.

But when it moves, the shell moves with it, like a loose pebble blanket.

Not an iron shield.

The rock realized that it was made of such small pieces that it was too fragile to be dressed in iron forged from something like meat. But...

It once again observed a huge meteor in front of it. That one is really good.

So the rock finally sped up and flew towards the jagged surface. But it's not too fast, it's slow.

Flow rate: 18.2 m/s

Because the rocks don't want to knock the meteor into pieces. They had to be connected and intact for the rock's plan to work. A simple plan, as always. Increase mass, increase diameter.

It landed on the surface of the moon. On a hard surface like a rock one is very much like its own, although the precise composition is a bit poor.

How did it get in?

It remembered the two sets of metal armor again, especially the other. Because although it has not been used in combat, it does have a very unique shape on its right arm. Tools on previous mining suits.

A drill.

The rock focuses on its diamond skin, this time trying to make something different. Not covering the whole body, just a little. It gathers all the qi and does not send them to the surface, but to the outside. Form a diamond arrow that sticks out of the rock, like the big horn of a unicorn.

It aimed its drill at [Doomsday Meteor] and did something different, something new. It uses [Energy Conversion] but does not do the same kinetic energy conversion as usual.

No, it creates spin.

The rock began to spin, and the drill bit against the giant began to dig holes in it. Rocks are eternal, but so are diamonds, so the drill bit drills through.

There is no hurry. There is no hurry.

It's calm. Methodically.

The drill crushes the rock into dust, which then has to use the gravity of the meteor shower and small channels to move it. Occasionally, it has to be pulled out to let the crushed pulp flow out, and then it will return inside.

Soon, very soon, the rock reached the center of the meteor.

It stops drilling, allowing the diamond fragments formed by the qi to fade away and concentrate its senses. Focus on its field.

Because what is the difference between the rock it is on now and itself? Why does the rock have sparks and [Doomsday Meteor] doesn't?

It gathered its borders, expanded its borders, and began to compress it. Because it fits right over a meteor, like a good-sized glove. It's getting closer. On the surface of the giant meteor until it almost exploded through the seams.

Then it began to inject Qi into the entire region, taking control of the entire region.

The rock felt the gas container germinate and spread through a meteor, like a small cable, to cover it wholesale. Gradually, its consciousness expanded.

It can feel larger rocks. Not like itself, but like an appendage. It is firmly anchored inside.

Next, the rock drew a deep gravity well in the hole it had dug, allowing the rock and dust to fall into it and block the hole. Then it tries to activate [Diamond Skin]. A glittering shell unfurled.

It covers the entire asteroid, even though it's a huge thing. Even the hole in which the stone was drilled.

The rocks are getting bigger and bigger, bigger than anything you can see on the top of the mountain.

Then, with the action of gravity, it gives the tiniest thrust to the whole object. Let it go off course.

Saved a planet.

Guardians of the Galaxy mission complete!

Congratulations!

Bonus Experience!

Experience!

5 000 / 20000 xp

The rock is not too happy not to upgrade, but on the other hand, it does not need the help of the system to grow. It's not about learning new skills, either.

It attaches itself to a larger rock and controls it, thus growing larger. It has learned to do this entirely on its own, simply by practicing its qi manipulation.

It touched its new shape, more connected than before, and gave it another push. Just the smallest one.

Guardians of the Galaxy Alert!

Level 10 [Doomsday Meteor] () will hit [Earth Planet] in 220 years!

Yes, the stone pushes the route back to where it came to be – not because it is trying to trick the system into giving it infinite experience, although it is good, but because the form is worth it. This shape is huge. With this form, it has grown enough to challenge its enemies to reach the end of its mission.

However, its three key numbers have only grown by the first two. A real solution still needs one last point, and our heroes aren't just lifeless (Doomsday Meteo

》)。

It uses [Energy Conversion] and begins to accelerate. Not only the mass and diameter, but also the speed.

A number began to shrink.

The old one, the one it followed for so long, but also a new one. That new car went very slowly—very slowly. Because it's not easy to speed up so many new qualities. But...... It also began to shrink.

Pursue:

Planetary destruction: 220 years

After a long period of acceleration, it finally stopped.

Pursue:

Planetary Destruction: 219 years

Yes, that number is also shrinking now, faster than it should. The rock rumbles in its new shell, looking forward to a grand return.

Looking forward to the end of its mission. The jade carving, stretched out its hand to it.

Now, it's really time.
