Chapter 1890: Red Star and Shortbread

Red Star and Shortbread

"What do you mean?" Everyone was somewhat at a loss.

Ji Xuan stood up, standing under the light, and spoke solemnly:

"If it's a hard piece of pie, it's very difficult to break apart, right?"

"But why does this piece of shortbread crack with just a touch? It's definitely not because my strength has increased, right?"

"Ultimately, it's because..."

"Because the internal structure is different." Chu Changqing vaguely guessed what Ji Xuan wanted to express, "During the process of making shortbread, it's necessary to vibrate every layer of the oil skin and inner filling loose, completely detaching the layers from each other, creating fine hidden seams... The structure becomes loose, so naturally it crumbles at the touch of external force."

"Exactly!"

"Then how should we change the Red Star's internal structure?" Qi Muyun's brows furrowed deeply.

"If, we find a way to change the mass distribution inside the Red Star, making it uneven in thickness, just like layers of shortcrust pastry..."

"In this way, wouldn't it be easier to destroy?"

"...I understand what you mean." Su Zhiwei narrowed her eyes slightly, "With our power, it's very difficult to cause damage to the Red Star. But if it's relying on the Red Star's own mass, it's different... Just like Tai Chi, the most important thing is 'borrowing strength to strike'. What we need to do is not to forcibly obliterate its mass, but to utilize its power to create a mass difference, thereby destroying the structure and causing it to fall into self-collapse?"

"Whether the Red Star will self-collapse or not is hard to say yet... but this train of thought, I feel is fine." Lu Xun nodded in agreement.

"I can manipulate the Higgs Boson and change the mass of objects. If I can enter the Red Star's core and rewrite its mass distribution on a large scale... it's possible to turn the Red Star into a piece of 'shortbread'." Ji Xuan spoke faster and faster,

"And mass and energy both have to follow the mass-energy equation. As long as the mass is uneven, it means the Red Star's energy will also be distributed unevenly... In this way, as long as it's guided a little..."

"But it's still the same problem. The Red Star is too massive. Even if you exert your power regardless of everything, how much of the Red Star's energy can you affect?"

"I can rewrite its mass-energy conversion efficiency by tampering with the Universal Constants." Wu Tongyuan suddenly spoke, "Moreover, we don't need to completely change the mass distribution pattern of the Red Star, as long as we can make its own energy lose control..."

"Like a fuse, as long as it's lit, maybe it will... burn fiercely on its own."

...

The authority of mass was exerted to the extreme deep inside the Red Star.

At this moment, everyone held their breath looking at the Red Star... No one knew what kind of changes were happening inside the Red Star, nor did anyone know exactly how much area of mass distribution Ji Xuan had affected. But the moment the first crack ran through the inside and outside of the Red Star and surfaced on the land, everyone felt a burst of joy in their hearts!

It worked!

The originally dormant Red Star suddenly seemed like a volcano about to erupt. The broken crust began to crazily collide and rub against each other. Abyss-like ravines crazily spread amidst the collisions, like cracks on the surface of an eggshell, becoming denser and denser.

The Red Star's energy was undergoing disorder at its deepest depths!

Almost at the same time,

The aura belonging to Ji Xuan disappeared from everyone's perception.

...

Spirit Void Domain.

Among the ancient temples of Mt. Lingxu, a figure was sitting quietly on the steps.

He was dressed in black and wore thin gloves made of some unknown material on his hands. On the ground before him, seven lifelike puppets lay neatly.

He, was one of the Dukes of the State of the Chengtian Domain... Demigod of the Path of the Puppeteer, Duke of Balance.

The Duke of Balance looked up at the sky dyed scarlet from time to time, his brows furrowed deeply, as if nervously waiting for something.

Just at this moment,

A voice rang out from the depths of his thoughts:

"Lord of Hanging Jade."

The Duke of Balance's gaze concentrated.

Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand and pointed at one of the puppets... The aura of the Path of the Puppeteer activated. The next second, that puppet which looked exactly like Ji Xuan was instantly swapped out!

A broken corpse covered in blood replaced the original puppet and was swapped to the front of the Spirit Void Ancient Temple.

The Duke of Balance's ability could ignore space and swap anyone who had established a connection with a prepared puppet... Even if the other party was already deep inside the Red Star, there were no exceptions.

He was the key figure jointly designated by Chen Ling and Ying Fu, and also the "net" to recover the Seven Monarchs in the chaotic battle.

At the moment the Red Star arrived, humanity no longer had the distinction of friend and foe... Who would have thought that the enemy who was head-to-head with Chen Ling not long ago would now become an existence Acting as a Safety Net for them?

"The first casualty appeared this quickly huh..." The Duke of Balance looked at that corpse covered in blood, only deep admiration remaining in his eyes. He didn't dare imagine what kind of tragic war one had to go through to tear a person into this state?

The Duke of Balance looked up at the scarlet sky, murmuring sincerely:

"Hope you guys... everything goes smoothly."

...

"Ji Xuan did it."

"Next, it's our turn."

Yang Xiao and Qi Muyun exchanged a glance, both seeing the resolution in each other's eyes.

Even if the internal energy began to disorder, even if those abyss-like cracks covering the surface were surging with terrifying Red Star energy, it was still flying towards Earth at high speed, like an unstable bomb.

Yang Xiao raised his hand first. Under the buff of Wu Tongyuan's Universal Constants, the magnetic field inside the Red Star was instantly detonated, electromagnetic induction rapidly intensified, and resistance heat began to climb at an astonishing speed!

At the same time, a cluster of chaotic air currents began to swirl on the surface of the Red Star, forcibly disrupting the heat that was already radiating under the circumstances of chaotic Red Star energy and soaring resistance heat. Like clusters of vortices, they were guided to a few specific locations...

And those locations were the most broken and weak places of the Red Star.

Yang Xiao and Qi Muyun's powers were being consumed at an astonishing speed. They were not Ji Xuan, there was no way to directly enter the inside of the Red Star to detonate everything. They could only crazily burn themselves outside, attempting to expand the coverage range of their power.

Not far away, Wu Tongyuan's eyes were even more blood-red, and his whole person began to age at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Whether it was Ji Xuan, Yang Xiao, or Qi Muyun, none of them could exert their power to the extent of threatening the Red Star... Wu Tongyuan had to constantly provide them with Universal Constants that could be called tampering out miracles, making each of them "gods" in their respective domains.

Electromagnetism and chaotic heat spread and transmitted on the surface of the Red Star, as if someone was using a lock to bit by bit seal all the violent energy inside the Red Star.

Like a scorching fireball stuffed into a pressure cooker.
