But in the end, they celebrated too soon. No sooner had the words left their mouths than they discovered that this strange warship, now in the same Two-Dimensional Space as them, seemed barely affected.

"What do the scan results say?" The Paper Civilization leader also saw that something was off from this perspective.
A Science Officer synchronized the detection data and said in puzzlement, "Strange. We originally thought it was protected by a Flexible
