The battlefield had shifted from three dimensions to four.
As a native, [Time] undoubtedly enjoyed a considerable home-field advantage.
But the Cleaners' White Dwarf Fortresses and Neutron Fortress were no pushovers either.
After dimensional ascension, the Cleaners Civilization switched its attacks from three dimensions to four.
Four-Dimensional Shock Bombs, rifts in four-dimensional space...
Even the most primitive, universally applicable kinetic weapons-simply firing four-dimensional shells-were a viable means of attack.
Yet the battle still reached a stalemate.
The reason was simple.
The greatest difference between four-dimensional space and three-dimensional space was the presence of a fourth direction.
The Cleaners Civilization had to perform enormous amounts of computation to resolve the coordinate conversions.
But native four-dimensional beings were different. They had an innate perception of the fourth direction.
In three-dimensional space, this manifested in an extremely bizarre way-the target clearly had not moved at all, yet the Cleaners' attacks failed to hit them.
Suddenly,
The Neutron Fortress that had remained stationary began to move.
Unlike the White Dwarf Fortresses, which could only launch conventional attacks, the Neutron Fortress possessed a unique weapon that no other could match-itself.
With almost its entire shell composed of dense neutrons, the Neutron Fortress had, in some respects, an even more staggering structural strength than a neutron star!
After all, a neutron star's outer layers were not actually composed of dense neutron structures.
As they watched the silvery-white planetary fortress gradually accelerate, every four-dimensional being grew solemn.
Whoosh!
Having completed its coordinate analysis, the Neutron Fortress vanished from its position.
An instant later, it appeared directly beside a four-dimensional being and slammed into them!
The sight sent a shock through the other four-dimensional beings.
Since they themselves had four-dimensional structures, the four-dimensional leap used in three-dimensional space could not be applied to them.
By the same reasoning,
