Even so, the Conqueror were still struggling. The mechanical swarms were too dense, and the space was filled with violent energy generated by the dimensional collapse, which greatly reduced the effectiveness of the two-dimensional bombs.

"A gap has appeared in the third zone."

"Even District Eight can't hold them off."

"District 33 is under emergency."

The entire airspace was divided into 36 huge sectors. In just a few days, two sectors were overrun by the swarm, which meant that hundreds of billions of Conqueror were destroyed. Coupled with the losses of Conqueror in other sectors, the rate of warship losses skyrocketed like a rocket.

"Hold on, General Bi Cha. Your 200 billion warships are responsible for maneuvering flexibly to plug the gap."

The Conqueror have already lost seven or eight hundred billion ships, and the Mechanical Insects are not faring much better, suffering losses more than ten times greater than the Conqueror. However, this ratio will still ensure that the Conqueror disappear before all the Mechanical Insects are killed. The situation is extremely dire. Behind them lies the Solar System. Although there are no longer any inhabitants, this illusion must be created for Li Shun. Otherwise, it would be even more troublesome if these Mechanical Insects were scattered. They are numerous and extremely powerful. Even if just one enters the interior of the Solar System, it could destroy the entire Solar System.

The battle was extremely fierce. The mechanical insects repeatedly broke through the defenses established by the Conqueror and entered the interior of the Oort Cloud. However, these mechanical insects would die mysteriously as soon as they entered the nebula. It was the Aquila Civilization warships hidden in the fourth dimension that launched the two-dimensional bombs.

The interior of the Solar System remained relatively quiet, making it ideal for using two-dimensional bombs. The mechanical insects were killed without their knowledge. Even so, Hu Yu dared not send more mechanical insects over. The defense of the Solar System planets relied entirely on the Reaper and Exterminator left behind, and these warships were no match for the mechanical insects.

"Boss, let us go!" Number One and the others asked anxiously.

"You just need to protect the fourth dimension of the Solar System. You don't need to interfere here. If even a worm gets into the Solar System, I'll hand you over to Chief of Staff Wen."

"Don't worry, boss. With us personally overseeing the Fourth Dimension, not a single one of these mechanical bugs will get through." Seeing Wen Zhonghua's sly grin beside him, Number One quickly reassured him.

The space outside the Oort Cloud has been completely shattered. The swarm of mechanical insects is charging at the Conqueror with relentless ferocity. At this point, two-dimensional weapons are almost useless. In such a shattered space, two-dimensional bombs will be destroyed before they can even enter the mechanical insects, restoring the Two-Dimensional Basic Space to a three-dimensional state. If this continues, more gaps will appear in the defense line.

Hu Yu had no choice but to use the bio-warriors. However, to use the bio-warriors, he needed to create the necessary conditions. First, this kind of shattered space was unacceptable, as the bio-warriors' defenses couldn't withstand it. Second, these mechanical insects were of a very high level, and having been implanted in Li Shun's brain, it was uncertain whether the bio-warriors could successfully control them.

Dozens of two-dimensional warships, carrying biological warriors, quietly maneuvered through the fourth dimension to the rear of the mechanical swarm. The Conqueror at the front risked slowing down the dimensional reduction attack to create space for the biological warriors.

To combat the insects, Academician Xiao worked overtime to produce and manufacture them, and invested in a large number of Superintelligent Robot, which greatly increased production. This was necessary to meet Hu Yu's continuous deployment of biological warriors to the Insect Zone to control the insects. For this battle, Academician Xiao worked overtime to gather 50 trillion of them, which have now all been deployed behind the mechanical insect lines.

The mechanical insects seemed exceptionally perceptive, quickly detecting the presence of the biological warriors and launching a purge. However, the biological warriors were vastly different in size from the mechanical insects, and these tiny creatures were incredibly slippery in space, constantly slithering close to the mechanical insects, looking for an opportunity to take control.

The ragtag fleet circled around several times without finding an attack window. They were not qualified to interfere in the battle between the Conqueror and the mechanical swarm, so the fleet turned its attention to the Crystal Civilization, 500 light-years away. The Crystal Civilization's base only had 200 billion warships. After the great war, the Crystal Civilization left its surplus fleet on the defensive line. Although the Crystal Civilization, like the Carina Civilization, still had a considerable fleet on the defensive line, it was now too late.

Without any hesitation, the ragtag fleet opened fire directly on the Crystal Civilization's fleet. Before the dimensional attack even reached the Crystal Civilization's fleet, a trillion Dreadnought warships appeared in front of the Crystal Civilization Crystal Civilization's fleet, blocking the attack. The shattered space directly scattered the dimensional energy of the ragtag fleet in all directions. This was the Space Barrier of the Xuan Star Civilization. Immediately afterwards, the warships behind it Space Solidification again, and not a single bit of energy could escape the Xuan Star Civilization's fleet defense.

A portion of the Dreadnought re-entered the fourth dimension, preventing the ragtag fleet from descending into the Crystal Civilization's territory. Another portion of the Dreadnought continued to hold off the ragtag fleet, while the Dreadnought charged directly into it. In the airspace where the Dreadnought warships were located, everything except the Dreadnought themselves was reduced to tiny fragments. Space itself was shattered like glass by the Dreadnought. This attack was far more terrifying than the spatial cutting by the Fish Horse Star warships of yesteryear.

Several squadrons of the Dreadnought Fleet rampaged through the ragtag fleet, leaving no place untouched. They utterly destroyed all the warships in their path, and even dimensional reduction attacks could not harm the Dreadnought. Terrified, these warships jumped into the fourth dimension, bringing even larger four-dimensional spaces with them as they descended upon the Dreadnought responsible for the three-dimensional guardians.

This wave of impact did have an effect; the Dreadnought's Space Barrier could disperse dimensional energy, but it also depended on the energy level. The four-dimensional space created by this suicidal attack from the ragtag fleet was much larger than the four-dimensional space they controlled. Faced with the rain of attacks from the ragtag fleet, the Dreadnought immediately suffered heavy losses.

"Quickly, Crystal Leader, move them immediately!" Bi Cha shouted anxiously, the loss of the Dreadnought was painful for Bi Cha.

If it weren't for the need to protect the Crystal Civilization's ragtag fleet, which wouldn't have been able to harm the Dreadnought, the Crystal Civilization would have been prepared long ago. As soon as the Xuan Star Civilization fleet arrived, it began to escort the inhabitants to their planet for relocation.

By this time, the Crystal Civilization fleet had already moved the planet and quickly left. Seeing that the Crystal Civilization fleet had left safely, the Dreadnought fleet quickly maneuvered away, jumping into the fourth dimension to purge the ragtag fleet. In the fourth dimension, the ragtag fleet was no match for the Dreadnought.

It was no longer possible for the ragtag fleet to pursue the Crystal Civilization. Whether in the fourth dimension or the three-dimensional universe, they would be wiped out by the Dreadnought. Especially in the fourth dimension, the ragtag fleet had almost no power to resist and was simply at the mercy of others. After abandoning two trillion warships, the ragtag fleet began to retreat, moving far away from the Dreadnought.
