Chapter 289 - There Really is Nothing Left
Chapter 289: There Really is Nothing Left
Suspended in deep space, Chen Yu couldn’t distinguish between directions.
The gray Gisella could be above or below him, depending on how he oriented his body.
“Viewers in front of the screen, this is the asteroid that will collide with the sun 25 years later. As you can see, its surface is grayish, which is probably a result of the asteroid being too far away from the sun, and only a subtle amount of light is refracted off of its surface.
“Well… From my perspective, it can be considered a gorgeous celestial body. Unfortunately, it is going to become history after today.”
After saying so, Chen Yu hugged the Oscillating Planet Smasher in his arms tightly and propelled himself toward the asteroid’s surface with the protective suit’s plasma engine.
Whoosh—
Without an atmosphere’s hindrance, the blue tail flame coming out of the plasma engine extended to an extreme length. From afar, it looked as if a massive, blue sword was pushing Chen Yu forward.
Meanwhile, as Chen Yu moved closer and closer to Gisella, the asteroid’s gravitational force also began acting on his body, finally giving him a vague sense of direction.
[It’s so beautiful!]
[I want to fly in space as well.]
[I recommend the game No Man’s Sky. You can experience all the beauty in the universe through the game!]
[All you guys can think of is having fun, while I am only thinking of business!]
[I wonder why I can always find perverse content among the endless stream of bullet comments…]
[I am a staff member of Universal Pictures. The company wishes to use the screen material of the following asteroid destruction. UP, please grant me access to privately message you. I will convey the information to you on behalf of our company. Thanks!]
[Columbia Pictures: We’re the same. We’ll give you even more money.]
[Interested in some clips? Message me @ V***…]
[I can’t add him. Did he get insta-banned?]
[This is unreasonable. Both are advertising for their companies, and both are in the business of selling movies. Why ban one but not the other?]
Under the plasma engine’s powerful thrust, Chen Yu arrived on the asteroid’s surface in no time at all.
Chen Yu jumped lightly after powering down the engine, his body ascending by more than four meters. “The gravity here is incredibly weak. I think it’s not even half that of the moon. However, this might be a misconception of mine as this asteroid’s radius is only slightly smaller than the moon.”
Setting down the planet smasher, Chen Yu looked at his surroundings before continuing, “I suddenly have the thought to take a picture with it. However, we have limited time, so let’s forget it and just start with the review.”
After gesturing an ‘OK’ to the camera, Chen Yu oriented the device so that its head faced the ground and the two spherical at its rear faced upward.
After flipping the device around, Chen Yu discovered that the flat surface at the planet smasher’s rear was actually the device’s console.
Wiping the dust off the console, he observed the console for a while before clicking the physical button at the console’s center.
Buzz!
A sound similar to a ringing bell actually rang out in the vacuum environment! Moreover, aside from Chen Yu, even the livestream’s 40 million viewers had heard this sound.
“This is…”
Raising his head, Chen Yu looked at the array of lights dancing before him. “This should be an interactive brainwave control! Many graphical interfaces have appeared in my mind right now. The interfaces resemble Microsoft’s computer systems, and there are at least 50 of these interfaces displayed in my mind! However, I can easily sort out the content and information displayed on each interface! Crap… This is too magical.”
[What kind of performance is this?]
[50 graphical interfaces? Won’t you faint from information overload?]
[You fool! It’s definitely different from having 50 computer monitors displayed before your eyes! It should be a more efficient experience.]
[I can’t understand at all, but I still feel envious.]
[In that case, if the host watches 50 Japanese action movies simultaneously… Won’t he die from pleasure?]
[There are always old drivers who can power through all kinds of terrain.]
Chen Yu released his grip over the Oscillating Planet Smasher and spread out his arms. However, the device remained standing and did not fall over. Seeing this, he took a few steps back, stretched out a finger, and tentatively flicked the device. With the introduction of an external force, the device began oscillating left and right.
“This way of interaction is amazing. All information relating to the Oscillating Planet Smasher is filtered and displayed in my mind. Moreover, I can freely control the device’s movement, angle, oscillation, and activation at will. This really is no different from magic.
“Technology has really progressed to a scary degree in the 42nd century…”
Sighing, Chen Yu raised his right hand slowly.
Whoosh!
Like the flying swords mentioned in fantasy novels, the Oscillating Planet Smasher rose into the air!
“Fall!”
Whoosh!
The next moment, driven by an unknown force, the top-half cylindrical portion of the device plunged and buried itself into the soft surface of the asteroid.
“According to the animated guide displayed in my mind, the Oscillating Planet Smasher goes through three steps to destroy a planet.
“Step one: Insert the probe, which is that long cylindrical stick, into the target’s surface.
“Step two: The device will release an extended polymer pipe to the target’s step.
“Step three: The device will release the anti-gravity particles to inhibit the target’s gravitational force.
“As everyone can see, we have already completed the first step. For safety’s sake, I will withdraw from the asteroid first.”
After saying so, a blue tail flame sprayed out from the back of Chen Yu’s armor once more, propelling him into outer space. Only after distancing himself over 20,000 kilometers away from the asteroid did Chen Yu feel confident enough to stop.
“The connection between me and the oscillator should be a connection based on the principle of quantum entanglement. There won’t be any delays in conveying information due to distance, which means that even if the device and I are positioned at two separate ends of the universe, I can activate it instantaneously.
“Also, I just received a notification in my mind stating that the second step is completed. The polymer pipe’s extension is very fast. Before I even stopped moving, it had already reached the asteroid’s core.”
Although Chen Yu had flown 20,000 kilometers away from the asteroid, the floating camera still remained on Asteroid Gisella’s surface.
Hence, the 40 million viewers watching the livestream could clearly see that the oscillator’s left…sphere was currently shrinking at a rapid pace.
Evidently, the particles stored within it had entered the polymer pipe and were making their way toward the asteroid’s core.
Five minutes later, the particle injection process finished, and the left sphere had shrunken down to its very limit.
“The third step is also complete now!
“Next, all we need to do is wait for the anti-gravity particles to spread. As long as they spread to the mantle layer, Gisella will disintegrate and die. This process should take no more than five minutes.
“This will also be the last five minutes of the asteroid’s life…”
[Farewell, Gisella! I pray that heaven doesn’t have someone like Transdimensional’s UP!]
[Can this be considered death by “that”?]
[If you want to say it, say it openly! Death by *!]
[Brother, you got censored. (ಥ_ಥ)]
[There’s only one ball left! Erm…]
[I suddenly feel like laughing.]
[Dammit! Can’t you let me watch the show properly?]
Twenty thousand kilometers away, Chen Yu beckoned with his hand. Immediately, the Oscillating Planet Smasher rose up from the ground and shot toward Chen Yu at a terrifying speed.
However, the floating camera’s flying speed was still superior. It reached Chen Yu far sooner than the Planet Smasher did.
Swish— Bang.
After crossing the 20,000-kilometer distance, the Oscillating Planet Smasher rapidly decelerated, and Chen Yu caught it steadily with his arms.
Lifting up the device’s cylindrical portion, Chen Yu noticed a drop of liquid resembling mercury hanging off its tip…
Reaching out, Chen Yu wiped the liquid off the device and rubbed it in his hand. Immediately, the drop of liquid shattered into tens of millions of tiny particles that disappeared into the endless void.
“Mhm.
“There really is nothing left this time…”
