Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

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.
