With renewed energy, the Demon Scorpion warship began to evade the impact of the mechanical behemoth. However, the energy of the Carina Civilization was not enough to fully meet the Demon Scorpion warship's needs. The Demon Scorpion warship was hundreds of times larger than the Carina Civilization's warship, and the replenished energy was not enough for the Demon Scorpion warship to launch a spatial attack.

The swarm continued to disturb space, causing it to become extremely chaotic. In order to get closer to the Demon Scorpion Civilization fleet as soon as possible, the Reaper had no choice but to activate the Space Barrier, which would both reduce the power of the giant ship's spatial attacks and prevent the swarm from getting close.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the surrounding swarm of insects was blasted away by the energy ball, the mechanical behemoth released another burst of energy, but by this time most of the Reaper had already gathered around the Demon Scorpion fleet.

With a burst of energy from the Demon Scorpion Fleet, everything around them vanished, leaving only 15 billion Reaper still entangled with the mechanical behemoths and the Zerg swarm. 20 billion Carina Civilization and 25 billion Reaper had already reached the fourth dimension.

Although I had entered a four-dimensional bubble before, that bubble was still three-dimensional, which was equivalent to cutting off the fourth dimension. This time, however, it is a completely Fourth Space, which not only contains three dimensions but also has an additional dimension.

Everything here was bizarre to Hu Yu and his companions. Everything was strange and grotesque. The only thing they could see was a warship, but it was definitely not the kind of warship they had ever seen in the three-dimensional universe. Not to mention that they could observe the internal conditions of the warship through the fourth dimension, the size of the warship was completely distorted.

The closest warship now appears to be tens of thousands of kilometers away, while distant warships seem to be right in front of him. Hu Yu tries to observe the three-dimensional universe, but finds that he can't find it anywhere. No matter where the warship is, it has lost all trace of the three-dimensional universe.

Everything before my eyes resembled both a world filled with soap bubbles and a world seen through ripples in water, but neither combination could fully capture the fantastical nature of this world.

Neither the Reaper nor the warships of the Carina Civilization moved. Although they lacked experience in four-dimensional movement, they all knew that the rules here were completely different from those in the three-dimensional universe. Perhaps moving just one meter here would translate to a distance of several light-years from the three-dimensional universe.

"Humans, Carina Civilization, do not move now, or don't blame me for not warning you if your fleet gets lost."

" The Demon Scorpion Civilization, what do we do now? We don't even dare to move, how can we fight?"

"What's the rush? Can't you see our fleet is replenishing its energy? Be patient!"

The energy in the fourth dimension is indeed abundant. The energy density here is far beyond what the three-dimensional universe can compare to. If the energy in the three-dimensional universe is air, then the energy here is the ocean.

The energy consumed by the Reaper while it remains stationary has hardly decreased at all. It's like a swimming pool with a small outlet draining water on one side and a large inlet filling it on the other. Hu Yu roughly estimated that, given the Reaper's energy consumption level, even if it operates at full power here, it can last for at least 2,000 years before slowly running out of energy. After 2,000 years, it will be fully replenished with energy again after a short rest.

No wonder the Great Star Region Civilization civilization has so many fleets, yet the number of stars in the galaxy hasn't decreased much. If all the Great Star Region Civilization's warships replenished their energy from the three-dimensional universe, the galaxy might have been exhausted long ago. Replenishing energy in the fourth dimension is not only faster but also simpler and more convenient. Hu Yu even suspected that the Great Star Region Civilization's shipbuilding base might also be in the fourth dimension.

Because the energy here is so abundant, as long as the energy is converted into matter, it is definitely much better than mining elements rich in various impurities in the three-dimensional universe. Moreover, there is no need to move the base here, as energy will flow in from all directions at any time.

However, the energy here is also violent and chaotic. Warships below the level of Small Star Region simply do not have the ability to survive in this world. Fortunately, they entered the space bubble during the Star-Level era, otherwise they would have been torn to pieces by the spatial turbulence caused by this violent energy.

The Demon Scorpion Civilization warships had accumulated enough energy. They released the collected power once more, constructing a massive spatial dome across the entire airspace. Within the dome, spatial turbulence was gone, and everything seemed to become more orderly.

On one side of the dome, a three-dimensional universe could be seen. The mechanical behemoth was still wandering around, acting as a cleaner for the galactic insects. Although these insects were not very powerful, they were numerous. In addition, many Reaper would occasionally emerge from the swarm to harass the behemoth, making the mechanical behemoth very irritable.

Do you know how to attack?

Hu Yu didn't answer, Dongdong hadn't communicated with the Demon Scorpion Civilization at all from beginning to end. Nobody wanted to mess with them; they might get a scolding.

"You wouldn't know anyway. Follow me. We're currently in the fourth dimension, but it still contains three dimensions, just with an extra dimension. If our attack wants to return to the three-dimensional universe, it can only do so through the fourth dimension. The other three dimensions will never intersect with the three-dimensional universe."

"Because the two spaces operate at different rates, we can't stay still for long in the fourth dimension. Also, although the warship is constantly filled with energy, it's best not to let it run out of energy. This is a high-energy space, and low-energy objects will be directly expelled. As for where they will be expelled, it's hard to say. But it's fine here."

"Our warships have now stabilized the surrounding space and established a connection with the three-dimensional universe, essentially fixing this space to the three-dimensional universe. If we are pushed out, we will be pushed into the three-dimensional universe. However, the spatial asymmetry remains, making precision strikes almost impossible."

"Then how can we fight? Our spatial attacks definitely can't penetrate this dimension to reach the three-dimensional universe, and precision strikes won't work either. Wouldn't it be a wasted trip?"

"Why would I let you come here for nothing? Listen to me. Now, you need to find a way to drag the fourth dimension into the three-dimensional universe. I don't care what method you use, just get the fourth dimension into the three-dimensional universe. Although the mechanical behemoths in front of us have spatial differences, area-of-effect attacks can still hit them. This is the only attack method you can currently use."

"I understand. Can't you do these things yourself? Why did you call us?" Hu Yu asked.

"We need to defend, otherwise, if these machines are scattered, how can you take responsibility? Hmph, hurry up and move, stop dawdling, you're useless!"
