253: Two-dimensional foil attack! All warships prepare to upgrade their dimensions to evade!

At the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy, a stealth reconnaissance vessel belonging to the Galaxy Guardians Alliance was currently enveloped in a deathly silence.

As an observer for the Alliance, Thor had witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations and the demise of innumerable stars. But the scene he observed today through the quantum observation mirror nearly stopped his three-hundred-year-old heart.

"Madmen! These carbon-based lifeforms from the Orion Arm are absolutely madmen!"

Thor gripped the control panel tightly, his tentacles turning pale from the excessive force. "They actually dared to use a dimensional reduction weapon in the Galactic Center region! Are they not afraid of triggering a chain reaction of vacuum decay and turning the entire Milky Way Galaxy into a painting?!"

In his view, the starfield that had once been crowded with hundreds of millions of Star Devourer soldier ants had now completely vanished. In its place was an enormous, magnificent yet desolate "starry oil painting." The grotesque insects were frozen within the painting, every detail clearly visible, yet devoid of any trace of life.

This was the power of the Two-Dimensional Foil, the most unreasonable cleaning tool in the universe.

However, what terrified Thor even more was yet to come.

Above that ever-spreading two-dimensional abyss, the black human fleet was completely unharmed! They were like gods walking on water, with the abyss of destruction beneath their feet, yet shining with a sacred golden radiance, treating the laws of physics as nothing!

"Alarm! High energy reaction! Sagittarius A* direction!"

The adjutant's shrill scream broke Thor's stupor.

In the distant Galactic Center, the supermassive black hole, which had always been dormant, suddenly "moved."

Around its originally inky black event horizon, a strange dark purple halo suddenly erupted. That was not the light of an accretion disk; it was some higher, more violent rule-based power being forcibly awakened!

"Roar—!!!"

A mental roar, inaudible but directly impacting the depths of all intelligent beings' souls, instantly swept across thousands of light-years.

The Star-Devouring Hive Mother had awakened!

It was enraged!

As the overlord that had dominated the Milky Way Galaxy for hundreds of millions of years, it had never suffered such a humiliating affront. A group of "food" that had just learned to walk dared to overturn its plate on its dining table and even trampled its watchdog to death?!

"Buzz—"

Space began to tremble violently.

At the edge of the black hole's event horizon, colossal black pyramids slowly emerged. They were not solid structures but projections of some higher-dimensional energy. With their appearance, the surrounding three-dimensional space began to melt and collapse like a candle!

"That's 'Void Collapse'!"

Despair filled Thor's compound eyes. "The Star-Devouring Hive Mother's trump card! It wants to forcibly drain all dimensions from that area, returning it completely to nothingness!"

This was also a dimensional reduction attack! And it was a more overbearing and thorough "zero-dimensional" attack than the Two-Dimensional Foil!

If the Two-Dimensional Foil turned a person into a painting, then "Void Collapse" directly burned the painting to ashes, scattering even the ashes!

"It's over, that human fleet is finished."

Thor slumped in his chair, not believing that a civilization just entering the interstellar age could withstand this level of rule-based annihilation.

On the bridge of the expedition.

The piercing alarm did not plunge it into chaos; instead, it ignited a suffocating fighting spirit.

"Detecting ultra-high frequency dimensional waves! Energy index immeasurable!"

"Spatial structure is collapsing! Estimated contact time: ten seconds!"

The voice of heavenly craft was urgent and precise. On the holographic screen, the dark purple wave of destruction was surging towards the human fleet at superluminal speeds. Wherever it passed, whether meteorites, debris, or the giant "Two-Dimensional Foil" painting from before, everything was instantly annihilated, turning into primordial nothingness.

This was a terrifying power that sought to erase existence itself!

"Indeed, this old monster has some tricks up its sleeve."

Lu Chen sat in the command chair, looking at the overwhelming wave of destruction. Far from fear, a hint of excitement, as if seeing prey, appeared on his face.

He abruptly stood up, his black trench coat flapping in the airflow.

"My command!"

"aegis system, full power!"

"All warships, disengage three-dimensional anchoring!"

Lu Chen raised his right hand, pointing sharply at the void dome above, his voice thundering:

"Ascend dimension!!"

"Boom—!!!"

With his command, the engines of one hundred thousand warships simultaneously let out a deep roar.

It was not the roar of thrusters, but the angry roar of the dimensional engine tearing through the spatial barrier!

Immediately, the surface of every warship was covered with a dazzling golden film. This was a strong interaction force field activated by the Dragonbone alloy, and also humanity's absolute barrier for survival in this universe!

The next second, a miraculous scene unfolded.

The overwhelming dark purple wave of destruction, like a tsunami crashing against the shore, slammed fiercely into the area where the human fleet had been.

Space shattered, and nothingness spread!

The coordinates where the fleet had been instantly became a massive black hole, swallowing even light.

However,

"Above" that black hole, in the fourth dimension imperceptible to three-dimensional beings.

One hundred thousand human warships floated silently.

They were like an audience watching a flood from a tall building. Beneath them were towering waves, a disaster that destroyed everything, but that disaster could only rage on the "ground," unable to even touch their soles!

"Is this the high-dimensional perspective?"

Wolf, glued to the viewport, watched the three-dimensional universe collapsing wildly beneath his feet, his eyes wide.

In his vision, the terrifying "Void Collapse" attack was like a venomous snake crawling on a two-dimensional paper. Although fierce and deadly, it could never bite someone standing in three-dimensional space!

This was an absolute, insurmountable level suppression!

"It's too incredible..."

Su Qingying looked at the data pad in her hand, trembling with excitement. "This is the power of dimensions! As long as we stand in a higher dimension, all attacks from lower dimensions are ineffective against us! It's like watching a movie; no matter how much the bombs in the movie explode, they can't harm the audience outside the screen!"

"Exactly."

Lu Chen walked to the viewport, hands clasped behind his back, gazing down indifferently at the chaotic void below.

"In the face of absolute dimensions, the magnitude of energy loses its meaning."

"They are still trying to smash open the door with brute force, while we..."

"have learned to phase through walls."

He turned around, looking at the Galactic Center black hole on the holographic screen, which was still frantically releasing energy, a cold, mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Star Devourer, is that all you've got?"

"If this is your trump card, then this war..."

"should end now."

"heavenly craft!"

Lu Chen's voice suddenly turned cold, carrying the majesty of a judge.

[Here, Master!]

The figure of heavenly craft appeared. At this moment, she also emitted a faint golden light, clearly having entered a high-dimensional state along with the fleet.

"Since it's rude not to return a gift."

"Since they've given us a big gift, we shouldn't be stingy."

Lu Chen stretched out his hand, making a "pressing down" motion in the void.

"Lock onto the Hive Mother's coordinates!"

"dragon gall Star Destroyer Cannon array, cross-dimensional strike mode prepped!"

"I want these bugs to know what it means to experience..."

"Judgment from Heaven!"

"Yes!!!"

Accompanied by heavenly craft's excited reply, the muzzles of one hundred thousand warships simultaneously adjusted their angles.

They no longer pointed forward, but instead pointed—"downward."

Pointing at the Star-Devouring Hive Mother, which was in a lower-dimensional space and completely unaware of the impending strike!

"Buzz—"

Terrifying energy began to converge, and golden light illuminated the high-dimensional void.

This was not ordinary laser fire; this was the Light of Divine Punishment, imbued with Causality corrections and carrying dimensional collapse effects!

Light of Divine Punishment!

Thor, several light-years away, stared blankly at the data transmitted back by the detector.

On the screen, the human fleet's signal, after disappearing for a moment, suddenly reappeared.

And this time, the energy reaction that appeared was a hundred times stronger than before!

"They... they dodged it?!"

"No, not only did they dodge it, they're counterattacking!"

"My god! Where is that attack coming from? Radar can't even track the trajectory!"

Thor shrieked in terror.

In his vision, billions of golden light pillars suddenly descended from the previously empty void!

Those light pillars, like sunlight piercing through layers of clouds, carried an unrivaled sacredness and majesty, stabbing directly towards the center of the Milky Way Galaxy!

Stabbing towards that arrogant Dark Demon God!
