Everyone's playing Red Giant? I, Black Hole, devour everything!

On the other side, Lin Tian turned off the communication, his calm expression unchanged.

Star nucleus bombs are indeed a problem.

But it's just a hassle.

Unlike ordinary stars, black holes have a singularity at their core.

What is a singularity?

It is a point with infinitely small volume and infinitely large density.

It's a place where even time and space are crushed.

Even the most powerful star nucleus bomb can only release a large amount of energy and radiation.

This energy and radiation would likely be enough to completely evaporate an ordinary star.

But for black holes, energy and radiation are just another form of matter.

Anything that is matter can be devoured.

Moreover, his primordial black hole now possesses an event horizon.

Within the horizon of events, not even light can escape.

How could the energy from a star core bomb possibly escape?

Of course, this does not mean he can rest easy.

Black holes can devour everything, but it takes time to do so.

If, during the process of absorption, the energy release rate of the stellar core bomb exceeds the event horizon's tolerance limit, then the structure of the primordial black hole could still be impacted and disintegrated.

But Lin Tian didn't intend to fight it head-on.

He has a gravitational lens.

The locking mechanism of the Star Core Bomb, like the skills of most observers, relies on capturing the gravitational field signal of the target.

However, gravitational lensing can distort spacetime, deflect light, and conceal the true form of a black hole.

If, at the moment the star core bomb detonates, a false gravitational signal can be created using gravitational lensing, the shockwave of the explosion can be redirected elsewhere...

"It's not that difficult."

Lin Tian let out a soft breath, temporarily putting the matter out of his mind.

There's still some time before the secret realm closes. Instead of worrying about what will happen after we get out, we should make the most of this time to consume as much nebula matter as possible.

After all, quality is his greatest source of confidence.

……

Ninety-six hours passed in the blink of an eye.

When the announcement from the will of the universe popped up, Lin Tiancai withdrew from the state of devouring.

[The Nebula Realm is about to close. All observers will be automatically teleported to the entrance coordinates in ten seconds.]

【10, 9, 8...】

He glanced at the current mass data of the primordial black hole.

Five thousand two hundred times the mass of the sun.

He was very satisfied with this number.

The black hole, with a mass 5,200 times that of the Sun, has expanded its event horizon by a full three times compared to before it entered the area.

The strength of the gravitational field has more than doubled.

If he were to face those five red giants again now, he wouldn't even need to deliberately activate tidal forces; the passive pulling of the gravitational field alone would be enough to tear them to shreds.

hum!

A flash of white light appeared, and the surrounding nebula material vanished instantly.

Instead, there was that cold, dark space of space.

The teleportation has been completed.

Almost at the same time, Lin Tian felt that the surrounding space was locked by a powerful gravitational field.

The host star of this gravitational field is an exaggeratedly large red giant, radiating a dark red halo and with terrifying heat waves surging on its surface.

Behind this red giant star are nearly a hundred smaller stars.

They were lined up in a dense row, completely blocking the exit of the secret realm.

At the very front of this group of stars, a bright, dazzling, incandescent white star floats.

Chen Wuye.

"Lin Tian." Chen Wuye's voice came through the communication channel, his tone as cold as ice, "You've kept me waiting a bit longer."

Lin Tian's voice remained as calm as ever: "So?"

"So, I was originally going to give you a chance to leave your last words." Chen Wuye paused, "but on the way here, the patriarch specifically instructed—no need for words, just do it."

The moment the words left his mouth, the dark red giant star suddenly burst forth with a blinding light.

Its surface seemed to have been torn apart by an unseen force, and a thick, suffocating beam of light shot out from the depths of the star's core.

The star core bomb has been detonated.

In that instant, the entire starry sky seemed to be illuminated by a small sun.

Centered on that red giant star, a destructive torrent of energy surged outwards in all directions!

Light, radiation, high-energy particles, shock waves—all the destructive elements imaginable were unleashed at this moment!

Interstellar dust within a radius of billions of kilometers was instantly evaporated, and nearly a hundred surrounding stars lit up their protective shields, desperately trying to escape outwards.

Even Chen Wuye himself retreated without hesitation.

Star core bombs don't distinguish between friend and foe, and he didn't want to be affected by the bombs he had planted.

However, just when everyone thought that the dim yellow star was about to be completely swallowed up by this torrent of energy, something unexpected happened.

The energy surge has gone astray.

The energy torrent that was supposed to hurtle straight toward Lin Tian was deflected as if it had hit an invisible mirror after entering the area around the Primordial Black Hole, and it slid past the edge of the black hole!

Moreover, the intensity of that energy torrent decreased dramatically the instant it swept across the edge of the black hole.

The originally incredibly violent high-energy radiation seemed to be having its energy frantically drained by something, becoming thinner and weaker.

By the time they bypassed the black hole, their energy had already decreased by a full 90%!

"How is that possible?!"

Chen Wuye stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

He played the online game "Cosmic Online" for fifteen years and witnessed the detonation of countless star core bombs.

He had seen people use space technology to move explosions away, people use spacetime barriers to withstand them, and even people use supermassive stars to completely absorb explosions.

But he had never seen anyone who, without dodging or using any defensive skills, could neutralize 90% of the power of a star core bomb simply by distorting light!

What the hell is this thing?

Gravitational lensing, of course, cannot reduce energy.

But it can change the direction of energy.

What truly reduces energy by 90% is the event horizon.

The space around the primordial black hole is highly distorted.

For the torrent of energy to penetrate this distorted space, it must withstand the extreme gravitational pull.

Under this pulling force, any form of energy will be broken down and absorbed, eventually becoming the mass of a black hole.

"You—what exactly are you?!"

For the first time, a slight tremor appeared in Chen Wuye's voice.

Lin Tian did not answer.

The gravitational field of the primordial black hole was released without reservation in that instant.

Chen Wuye felt as if his star was being gripped by an invisible hand, and no matter how he tried to move the star, he couldn't move it even a fraction of an inch backward.

He could only watch helplessly as his star, bit by bit, fell toward that dim, yellowish little star.

"No—!! No!!!"

Chen Wuye let out a heart-wrenching roar.

But before the roar could travel far, it was completely drowned out by a cold announcement from the will of the universe.

[Universal Will Announcement: Observer Lin Tian has successfully devoured Observer Chen Wuye...]

Current number of devices consumed: 7

[This entity has been added to the threat-level observer list for the Seventh Star Sector, and this has been announced throughout the entire sector.]
