235: The system's ultimate mission is hereby announced: Destroy the Planet Eater Mother Nest!

"Jump over from above?"

When Lu Chen's "jumping" theory, filled with metaphysical and insane implications, echoed clearly across the silent bridge of the expedition, everyone involuntarily raised their heads.

Their gazes penetrated the panoramic viewport, looking toward the deep, hollow void above—a space that seemed to contain nothing, yet simultaneously seemed to encompass everything.

That was the "above" of the universe.

Not "up" in the physical sense, but the "heights" in the dimensional sense.

"Commander Lu."

"Wolf Warrior" swallowed hard, his scar-covered face full of confusion and bewilderment. He pointed upward, "Are you saying we need to fly to the 'above' of the Milky Way Galaxy?"

"No."

Lu Chen shook his head, the devilish smile on his lips growing more intense.

"Not fly up."

"But ascend."

"Dimensional Ascension."

These two words, once spoken, were like an invisible key that instantly opened the long-sealed doors in the minds of every scientist present!

Su Qingying's pupils constricted sharply, and a look of incredulity instantly erupted from her beautiful eyes!

"Dimensional Ascension?! Are you saying we enter the fourth dimension?!"

"Exactly."

Lu Chen snapped his fingers, the light in his eyes brighter than the stars.

"Two-dimensional ants can never understand how three-dimensional humans cross 'walls'."

"The same logic applies."

"For that 'Star Devourer' entrenched in the center of the three-dimensional universe, no matter how sturdy their defenses are, or how terrifying the gravity of that black hole is..."

"In the eyes of a four-dimensional being..."

He reached out and made a "crushing" gesture in the void.

"They are nothing more than a painting laid flat on a table."

"We only need to stand outside the 'painting' and gently use an eraser to wipe it."

"And they will be gone."

Boom!!!

This statement was simply a Dimensionality Reduction Strike against the existing physical system!

Everyone was completely stunned by this "tactic," which was insane to the extreme, yet logically self-consistent to the extreme!

Is this the way of war for god-level civilizations?!

Unreasonable!

Illogical!

Directly erasing you from a dimension you cannot comprehend!

"Bu-but..."

Su Qingying's voice was trembling—it was both excitement and fear. "We... we are only three-dimensional beings! How could we possibly enter the fourth dimension?!"

"That was before."

Lu Chen said calmly. His gaze seemed to pierce through the void, looking at that mysterious system interface that had always existed deep in his mind.

Just now.

Just at the moment he pierced through the "veil" of "Dimensionality Reduction Strike"!

The system, which had been silent for so long, finally reacted again!

[Ding—]

A crisp sound, like the voice of heaven yet carrying endless majesty, exploded in his mind!

[Host detected to have insight into the essence of "Higher Dimensions" warfare!]

[Host detected to have locked onto the core coordinates of the "Star Devourer" civilization!]

["starry sea" series, ultimate main quest (V)]

[Officially released!]

The familiar translucent panel before Lu Chen's eyes instantly burst into an unprecedented blood-red light!

The light was so blinding, so resolute, as if it were written in the blood of countless civilizations!

[Mission Name: Decapitation Strike — Godslaying!]

[Mission Description: You have gazed into the abyss, and now the abyss is gazing back at you. That terrifying entity entrenched in the Galactic Center, feeding on stars and using civilizations as firewood, is the greatest tumor in this dark forest! Escaping is a dead end! The only way to survive is to face your fear, cross dimensions, and sever its head!]

[Mission Objective: Destroy the Star-Devouring Hive Mother located within the event horizon of the Sagittarius A* black hole!]

[Time Limit: None (But for every second you hesitate, countless civilizations are perishing)]

[Mission Rewards:]

Lu Chen's gaze moved downward. When he saw the list of rewards, even his breathing paused for a beat!

[1. Unlock "Higher Dimensions" technology tree (Complete Version)!]

[2. Unlock "Causality" arsenal (Beginner)!]

[3. Unlock ultimate system permissions!]

[4. Obtain Title — "Galactic Overlord"!]

"Hoo."

Lu Chen exhaled a long breath.

He closed his eyes, feeling the massive, shudder-inducing flow of information that surged into his body upon the release of the mission.

That was the taste of power.

It was the divine authority capable of rewriting rules and reshaping the universe!

Ultimate permissions!

As long as he completed this mission, he could completely unravel all the mysteries of the system and truly become the god whose word was law in this universe!

"heavenly craft."

He opened his eyes abruptly, his pitch-black eyes burning with a crazy fighting spirit capable of igniting the entire Milky Way Galaxy!

[Here, Master!]

The figure of heavenly craft appeared instantly. She seemed to sense the entirely different aura on Lu Chen, and her intelligent eyes were filled with awe and anticipation.

"Record this."

Lu Chen's voice was calm, yet carried an unquestionable dominance.

"This is our expedition, and the final expedition of the entire human civilization."

"Target: Galactic Center, Sagittarius A*!"

"Mission: Destroy the Star-Devouring Hive Mother!"

"Means: Unlimited!"

"Cost: Whatever it takes!"

"Yes!!!"

In heavenly craft's crisp voice, there was actually a hint of a trembling, tearful tone! That was excitement, that was fervor, that was the supreme glory felt for the great war about to come!

"Boom—!!!"

As Lu Chen gave the order, the entire expedition, like an ancient behemoth awakening from slumber, let out a deafening roar!

All the lights turned into a blinding blood-red at this moment!

All weapon systems were unlocked at this moment!

All Super Soldiers rushed to their battle stations at this moment!

There was no fear or confusion on their faces, only a kind of determination called "living through death"!

Because they knew.

This departure might be their final farewell.

But this departure would also surely be immortal!

"Commander Lu."

"Wolf Warrior" stood under the command console, looking at the youth bathed in the red alert light like a demon god descending, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Isn't this mission a bit too crazy?"

"Destroying the Hive Mother—that's a black hole! Can we really do it?"

"Crazy?"

Lu Chen turned around, looking at this iron-blooded tough guy who had followed him all the way, a wicked and arrogant arc curling on his lips.

"Wolf Warrior, are you afraid?"

"Afraid?!"

"Wolf Warrior" stiffened his neck, his eyes wide!

"The word 'afraid' doesn't exist in my dictionary! I'm just worried if our weapons are hard enough! Don't want to end up just tickling them!"

"Rest assured."

Lu Chen patted his shoulder, the light in his eyes so deep that people dared not look directly at it.

"This time, the weapons I've prepared for you..."

"Are not just simply 'hard'."

He reached out and grabbed gently in the void.

It was as if he had grasped some invisible rule, some power that transcended the three-dimensional world.

"Since they like to play 'Dimensionality Reduction Strike'."

"Then we will play along with them."

"Dimensional Ascension Judgment!"

"heavenly craft!"

[Here!]

"Project the blueprint for the defense and manufacturing of the 'Two-Dimensional Foil' that just 'refreshed'."

"Project it for me!"

[Yes! Master!]

The next second!

A complex blueprint, filled with eerie, twisted, yet heart-stopping mathematical beauty, instantly occupied the dome of the entire bridge!

That was not a mechanical drawing.

That was not a starship structure.

That was a

painting.

A painting that could forcibly "draw" the entire three-dimensional world into it.

A scroll of death!

"Th-this is..."

Su Qingying looked at the blueprint above her head, which seemed to contain infinite magic, and was completely mesmerized.

She reached out to touch it, but dared not.

Because she could feel that inside that blueprint, it contained the ultimate taboo capable of destroying everything!

"This is..."

Lu Chen's voice sounded faintly, carrying a hint of cold condescension from a higher dimension.

"The welcome gift we have prepared for the 'cleaner'."

"A welcome gift."

"The 'Two-Dimensional Foil'!"

"However..."

His tone shifted, and the color of madness in his eyes became even more intense!

"Having just a spear is not enough."

"We also need a shield capable of blocking their attacks!"

"heavenly craft!"

"Here!"

"Initiate the 'Dimensional Defense' system research and development plan!"

"I want, before we reach the Galactic Center!"

"For our warship to learn..."

"How to swim inside a painting!"

"As you command! My great Master!"
