"Beep-"
On the Tachyon Radar, two signal sources, one behind the other, had successfully reached the vicinity of the Human Fleet.
Lü Yongchang instinctively rose from his seat!
Whoosh!
Amid violent spacetime fluctuations, an immense scroll suddenly appeared beside several starships, like a whale breaching the surface!
Before the fully unfurled two-dimensional lifeform, Human Civilization's starships looked like tiny skiffs beside an enormous whale.
The scroll swept toward the starships, wrapping around them before they could react!
"Zero! Activate the Dark Matter Stabilization Field!!"
Lü Yongchang suddenly shouted an order!
He needed to conduct a simple experiment!
Hum...
The Dark Matter Stabilization Field, originally intended to stabilize a starship's four-dimensional state within the three-dimensional universe, rapidly formed...
But a second later.
The scroll extended at tremendous speed, sweeping the starships straight into itself.
The light of dimensional reduction illuminated the dim universe.
An image of a starship immediately appeared on the previously empty scroll.
This was different from the earlier dimensional reduction process.
Its internal structure was not laid bare before them!
Normally, an object that fell into two dimensions would reveal every detail, but that had not happened to this starship with its Dark Matter Stabilization Field active!
That meant this dimensional reduction was incomplete!
"Two and a half dimensions..."
Lü Yongchang murmured.
The scroll continued spreading in every direction, swallowing starship after starship with active Dark Matter Stabilization Fields.
At that moment, something changed!
The first starship to undergo two-dimensionalization suddenly fired a spatial rift ahead of it!
The painting spanning several light-years had come alive!
Black cracks raced across the scroll, seemingly attacking some target.
"This... protected by the Dark Matter Stabilization Field, the starship wasn't completely destroyed?!"
"Of course..."
"The Dark Matter Stabilization Field can prevent three-dimensional space from assimilating four-dimensional objects, so naturally, it can
