Sheryl's singing rang out, and the powerful FOLD Waves it stirred and emitted strengthened their side while weakening the enemy. They were especially effective at countering the Dimensional Generals' special abilities. After observing for over ten seconds, Xiao Ran roughly understood the relationship at work.
The song's suppression of the Dimensional Barrier was real, but it was more like interference and cancellation. On one side, endlessly spreading waves continually clashed with the Dimensional Barrier and affected it; on the other, the song itself weakened it. The combined effects of both produced this result.
FOLD Waves themselves possessed extremely unusual properties. Even in Fleet World, the first place to come into contact with FOLD Waves, research on them had yet to reach the point of complete analysis. Basically, some event would suddenly occur, someone would start singing, and then—oh, so singing worked on this thing too. That was more or less how it went.
Furthermore, when FOLD Waves were released by a diva through song, they could affect the mind and soul. But when released by a battleship's FOLD Jump system, they could only be used for ultra-long-distance travel and forced teleportation. Different applications produced different effects. Perhaps they could conduct more research into weapon applications in the future and develop abilities specifically targeting dimensions and space. However, it was worth noting that FOLD Waves produced through singing could not be replicated through technological means at all. That was precisely what made divas so special and irreplaceable.
The weakened Dimensional Beasts had become lambs awaiting slaughter. As time passed, Sheryl's singing would sooner or later awaken their true souls, but Xiao Ran did not dare show mercy. He continued exterminating the Dimensional Beasts, which had completely lost any ability to resist him.
If he stopped exterminating them, their numbers would only
