Chapter 495 Blue Star Coordinates, Locked!
But soon, another question arose in Yax's mind.
If the civilization is on that planet, why did the warp-creatures open the wormhole here?
Aren't the coordinates pointing towards that blue planet?
How did it end up on this dead star?
He frowned, lost in thought.
The warp beast was definitely not lying; the coordinates were correct, and the wormhole was open normally.
The problem can only lie in one aspect—
Location!
When a warp-creature opens a wormhole, it locates the planet's position using spatial coordinates.
But planets are not stationary.
Every planet revolves around a star and is constantly moving!
The coordinates recorded by the warp beasts corresponded to the location of that blue planet at a certain point in time.
Now, that blue planet has moved away along its orbit.
Occupying that original position is this blazing dead star beneath our feet.
When the warp beast opened the wormhole, it detected a planet at the coordinates that was similar in size and mass, so it assumed there was no problem and opened the tunnel directly.
If there is nothing at this location, just empty space, the warp beast will recalibrate.
But there happens to be a planet here.
Unfortunately, this planet happened to be orbiting at that exact coordinate point.
and so--
All of this was just a coincidence.
A coincidence on an astronomical scale!
This led to a million-strong demon army, along with a peak eighth-tier demon god, landing in a vast and imposing manner on the wrong planet.
If it weren't for this coincidence, the wormhole exit would be right on the surface of that blue planet.
Kogas descended from the sky with his army, leaving that technologically advanced civilization no time to react.
But...
"Yax".
Kogas's voice came from behind, low and slow.
"Did you find it?"
Yax jolted awake, turned around, and saw Kogas with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he was about to devour him at any moment.
Yax quickly pointed to the distant blue planet.
"My lord!! I've found it!"
"The target is on that blue planet!!"
Kogas looked in the direction Yax was pointing.
In the pitch-black depths of the universe, stars are as sparse as dust.
That planet, however, stood out conspicuously.
A deep blue halo enveloped the surface of the star, its edges edged with a faint grayish-white mist that refracted soft arcs of light under the starlight.
Compared to the scorching dead star beneath their feet, it was like heaven and earth.
Kogas narrowed his scarlet vertical pupils, seemingly making a judgment.
Seeing this, Yax quickly offered his opinion.
"Sir, beings from technologically advanced civilizations are extremely frail and have very high environmental requirements in order to survive."
"Our planet now has a surface temperature of over 400 degrees Celsius, making it impossible for even liquid water to exist."
"A technologically advanced civilization could never survive in such a place."
"But that planet is different!"
Yax raised his hand and pointed to the distant blue dot of light, his voice rising.
"Azure blue indicates a large amount of liquid water on the surface, suggesting a moderate temperature. The presence of an atmosphere refracting light indicates sufficient air."
"Only under these conditions can a technologically advanced civilization with a weak constitution survive!"
"When the warp beast recorded the coordinates, that planet was in this location."
"But planets revolve around stars, and their positions are constantly changing."
"It moved away, and the dead star right beneath our feet just happens to be orbiting at the same coordinates!"
"It's just a coincidence, sir!"
Yax used every reason he could think of to try and save his life.
Kogas remained silent.
Its crimson vertical pupils scanned back and forth between the blue planet and Ax twice.
Yax felt like he had a knife to his throat.
That knife represents Kogas's patience.
Kogas finally spoke.
"Yax".
"This is the last time, if..."
He didn't continue speaking, but everyone understood the meaning behind his tone.
Yax swallowed hard and knelt even lower.
"Rest assured, sir! This time there will be no mistake!"
Kogas looked away and stopped looking at him.
The colossal body, hundreds of meters tall, turned and swooped down toward the orange-yellow death star beneath its feet.
The demon lords behind him glanced coldly at Yax and followed.
They had no good feelings towards this traitor who had turned against them.
Besides, they've already completely fooled them and have long since lost their patience.
Yax breathed a sigh of relief; the weight on his heart finally lifted.
survived.
But he knew very well that his life was borrowed.
Whether or not it is returned depends on whether there is a civilization on that blue planet.
……
The surface of an orange-yellow planet.
Kogas landed on the wasteland, the rocks beneath his feet cracked with spiderweb-like fissures from the immense weight of his body.
He turned towards a space-jumping beast, hundreds of meters in size, in the midst of the demon army.
"Write down the coordinates of that blue planet."
The Leap Beast lowered its massive head, its countless tentacles stretching towards the sky.
The surface of the sarcoma shimmered with a faint blue light.
The tentacles trembled slightly in the air, as if sensing some kind of spatial form invisible to the naked eye.
A few breaths later, the whiskers retracted, and the tumor's light faded.
The Leap Beast emitted a low, spiritual resonance.
All records have been completed.
Kogas nodded, his gaze sweeping over the enormous, dark blue wormhole not far away.
"withdraw."
The more ferocious the demon army was when it surged out, the faster it retreated.
The million demons who had already arrived filed into the wormhole, like a black tide flowing backward, disappearing into the depths of the blue-black vortex.
.......
The surface of a satellite in the Kona civilization galaxy.
The demon army was redeployed.
Kogas hovered in mid-air, looking down at the densely packed military formations below.
"This wormhole is useless, destroy it."
The remains of the warp beast, now integrated with the passage, sensed the command from its master.
Therefore, it stopped supplying energy to the wormhole and began its self-destruction.
The wormhole lost its energy source and its edges contracted violently.
The bluish-black light flickered a few times, like a dying eye slowly closing.
"Buzz—"
The passage disappeared.
The enormous body of the Leap Beast was also swallowed up, as if it had never existed.
Kogas remained calm.
A space-jumping beast, rendered useless in an instant.
For him, who had mastered the method of breeding leap beasts, this thing, though precious, was not scarce.
It only takes some time and resources to re-cultivate them.
Yax watched from the side, not daring to utter a sound.
In the eyes of other demon gods, the warp beasts are strategic resources that they would fight tooth and nail to obtain.
In Kogas's hands, it was just a tool.
Use it and throw it away; if it breaks, rebuild it.
This is the source of the Kogas faction's confidence.
Kog'Gath looked down at the warp drive that had just recorded the coordinates of the blue planet and said calmly:
"A new wormhole has been created underground."
Yax was puzzled, but he soon understood.
Technological civilizations would fill orbits around the planet with satellites, and those metallic constructs would be able to monitor the entire surface.
If a wormhole were to be created directly on the Earth's surface, satellites of a technologically advanced civilization would detect it immediately.
By then, before the army has even fully assembled, the enemy will already be ready for battle.
Yax never wants to experience being hunted by nuclear bombs again in his life.
The warp beast emitted a muffled mental response.
It lowered its massive head, and its countless tentacles began to tremble violently.
A faint blue light emanated from its body, growing brighter and brighter, and the space around it began to distort.
