A large number of two-dimensional fragments were deployed into the fleet of the Fish Horse Star Civilization. These fragments frantically devoured the energy of the battlefield, making the space chaotic. However, since the battlefield space was already largely fragmented, the attacks from the two-dimensional fragments could not spread to nearby spatial fragments, thus having a very limited effect.
However, the battlefield was already extremely chaotic, and the interference from the two-dimensional fragments was like adding fuel to the fire. The warships of the Fish Horse Star Civilization could not activate the Space Millstone here. Both the Space Millstone and the two-dimensional fragments required a relatively stable space. The endless energy even destroyed the spatial collapse created by the antimatter star.
On this battlefield, two warships might be pulled closer together without warning, or even collide, because the space between the warships is destroyed. The surrounding space quickly fills the destroyed space, causing the warships to move along with the space. Some warships may also be turned around or flipped over for no reason. All these changes are caused by the rapid changes in the battlefield space.
This epic war had been going on for over two months without anyone noticing. The spatial collapse could no longer affect the fleets on the battlefield. The fleet of the Fish Horse Star Civilization relied on its Super Fortress to put up a steady resistance. Although it suffered some losses, they were still within an acceptable range. Moreover, the number of warships lost by the Milky Way civilization was much greater than that of the Fish Horse Star Civilization.
Only the Conqueror have maintained a zero-loss status so far. They wander like ghosts on the outermost edge of the battlefield, occasionally launching two-dimensional fragments at weak points to stop the Fish Horse Star Civilization's fleet.
Suddenly, the Super Fortress moved. Countless holes appeared on the surface of this behemoth. These holes were only about 500 kilometers in size, as small as pores on a human body compared to the Super Fortress. With the appearance of these holes, all civilizations sensed that something was wrong.
The fleets swerved to avoid aligning themselves with the holes, but it was too late. Powerful energy erupted from the holes, purer and more concentrated than that of the planetary cannons, and mixed with fragments of space, shooting out from the Super Fortress's openings.
Enormous pillars of energy suddenly appeared in the sky, reaching the celestial foundation. Wherever the energy pillars went, everything was reduced to dust. This included the fleets of the five Great Star Region Advanced Civilization, the warships of the Great Star Region Intermediate Civilization, and even several Fish Horse Star warships that had been brought into the attack range of the energy pillars by spatial changes.
Although the energy pillars' attacks are powerful, the battlefield spans two light-years. In such a vast space, no matter how many energy pillars there are, they cannot cover it all. The farther away from the Super Fortress, the larger the angle between the energy pillars and the smaller their destructive power.
Although the first attack cost the Milky Way civilization over 20 billion warships, it was clear that the energy consumed by the Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization's attack must have been enormous. Even with Super Fortress of immense size, the stored energy could not sustain a continuous burst of power. Shortly after the start of the war, the Milky Way civilization's fleet had completely sealed off the fourth dimension, making it impossible for the Fish Horse Star Civilization to obtain energy and space replenishment from the fourth dimension.
Sure enough, the first wave of energy lasted for less than ten seconds before stopping. Just as everyone was preparing to organize the fleet to attack again, the Super Fortress slowly changed its angle, and the terrifying energy pillar reappeared. This time, the energy pillar not only did not disappear, but instead swept across the entire airspace as the Super Fortress slowly rotated.
The Milky Way fleet dodged and weaved to avoid the erratic barrage of energy pillars, while simultaneously launching a fierce attack, using spatial manipulation to disrupt the energy pillars. This tactic did have some effect, but the energy pillars of the Fish Horse Star Civilization stretched endlessly like a river, and dropping a bomb into the river could not stop the flow of the water.
The Fish Horse Star fleet has taken the opportunity to retreat into the Super Fortress, no longer engaging in direct combat with the Milky Way civilization's fleet. The Milky Way civilization's fleet can no longer approach the Super Fortress because the fortress is constantly adjusting its angle, making it impossible for the Milky Way civilization's fleet to get close.
"This! How is this possible?!" Academician Zeng, who was watching from the sidelines, exclaimed in disbelief.
"Academician, what's wrong?" Hu Yu asked.
"Given the intensity of this attack by the Fish Horse Star Civilization, billions of energy pillars have been erupting for ten days. I've calculated that unless the entire fortress is turned into antimatter and annihilated, it would be impossible to release so much energy."
"Is there a loophole in the blockade?"
"General, this energy is beyond what we can replenish by sealing the breach. Even if we open the fourth dimension, the incoming energy won't be enough for this continuous burst. This energy has surpassed the energy density of the fourth dimension; it's terrifying."
"How could this happen, Academician? Is there any way to fix it?"
"Wait, no matter what kind of technology the Fish Horse Star Civilization has, this kind of energy consumption will still hurt them. They might be doing this to hasten a new plan. General, have the fleet temporarily move away from the fortress and adapt to the situation."
Hu Yu nodded. The arrangements for the fourth dimension were complete, and it was possible to cut off the fourth dimension at any time for Super Dimensional Reduction Strike. However, once Super Dimensional Reduction Strike was carried out, the fourth dimension would be opened, so everyone had been waiting for the best opportunity. At present, it seemed that whether or not the fourth dimension was blocked had no impact on the Fish Horse Star Civilization.
However, considering the energy issue, the fourth dimension still needs to be sealed off. The battle has been going on for so long without any damage to the Super Fortress. Hu Yu suspects that even if a super-dimensional reduction is performed, it may not be able to cause much damage to the Super Fortress. It would be better to continue the seal-off to cut off the energy supply of the Fish Horse Star Civilization. At Hu Yu's suggestion, the entire seal-off plan for the fourth dimension was to be carried out by the Heavenly Peak Civilization. The Heavenly Peak Civilization's combat power is slightly weaker, so it is just right to do this job.
The Super Fortress's energy seemed inexhaustible, continuously sweeping energy across the surrounding warships for several days. With the addition of this energy, spatial fragments decreased, and space became more stable, making it more difficult for the galactic civilization's fleet to launch spatial attacks, while the Conqueror ' two-dimensional attacks became less and less effective.
The spatial density of the entire airspace has increased more than tenfold. Except for conventional power, all space-related actions are greatly restricted. Under these circumstances, even without sealing off the fourth dimension, it has become extremely difficult or even impossible for the fleet to enter the fourth dimension. Space has turned from a basin of clear water into a basin of sticky dough.
