Stopping the Fortress

The galactic fleet continuously created spatial chaos ahead of the fortress, effectively hindering the Super Fortress's advance. However, the Super Fortress used super energy pillars to accelerate several times, quickly reaching a speed of 0.6 times the speed of light, much faster than expected. This caught all the galactic civilizations somewhat off guard.

"This is unbelievable! How could this Super Fortress have so much energy? Could it be that the Fish Horse Star Civilization has mastered the fifth dimension?" Wen Zhonghua was somewhat exasperated.

"It shouldn't be that bad. If the Fish Horse Star Civilization has mastered the fifth dimension or a higher dimension, their fleet attacks wouldn't need to be based on space at all; they could rely on their endless energy to make us unable to resist."

If we consider the attack intensity of the energy pillars from the Fish Horse Star Civilization, a single Conqueror would only have enough energy to launch a single energy pillar with a diameter of one kilometer, which would last for no more than ten seconds.

While this attack is powerful, it is unsuitable for interstellar warfare due to its vast scope. Unless it is a base attack or defense battle, warships from both sides generally do not engage in close combat. Long-range strikes are the only way to ensure one's survival.

A year later, no effective attack method had been developed. The information was sent directly to the Secondary Universe, where scientists were conducting research with a thousand times the time advantage. However, two key questions remained unresolved, so Hu Yu had no choice but to establish a link with the leader of Tian Feng.

"General Hu Yu, the situation is not optimistic," sighed the Tian Feng leader, shaking his chubby, round head.

" Tian Feng leader, I suggest you try Super Dimensional Reduction Strike now and see if it has any effect."

"The fourth dimension no longer needs to be blocked?"

"Given the current situation, whether or not to impose a lockdown is no longer of much significance."

"Alright, let's give it a try, even if it's a hopeless case."

Not long after, one hundred trillion warships of the Heavenly Peak Civilization, responsible for sealing off the fourth dimension, cut out a huge piece of four-dimensional space and brought it into the three-dimensional universe. The violent energy impact shook the Super Fortress, and its enormous speed was forcibly reduced to zero before it flew backward.

However, the Super Fortress remained intact, something Hu Yu had already anticipated. The Super Fortress was like a sturdy armored vehicle; the Super Dimensional Reduction Strike was merely like hammering the armored vehicle a few times. The energy and extra space from the super-dimensional reduction carried the fortress for millions of kilometers. Compared to the Super Fortress, it had only just slowed down and then trembled slightly.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. If such an intense change in acceleration were to occur without any protective measures, a human would immediately be turned into a meat patty. Although the creatures of the Fish Horse Star Civilization are a relatively advanced species, they can only be considered ordinary creatures and are not much stronger than humans.

This was the effect Hu Yu hoped to achieve: to use the acceleration changes generated by the Super Dimensional Reduction Strike to kill the Fish Horse Star inside the Super Fortress. However, the result disappointed Hu Yu once again. The Super Fortress quickly stabilized its posture under the influence of the energy shockwave from the explosion and stopped flying backward.

The energy pillar on the side facing away from the galactic black hole erupted again, and the Super Fortress increased in size at a rate of nearly 20 meters per second. At the same time, approximately 50 trillion Fish Horse Star warships flew out of the fortress and entered the fourth dimension, seemingly to prevent a second Super Dimensional Reduction Strike.

Although the Super Dimensional Reduction Strike cannot harm the Super Fortress, such continuous attacks will slow down the Super Fortress's progress. The fact that the Fish Horse Star Civilization's Super Fortress is heading towards the central black hole of the Milky Way is definitely not without reason. Their eagerness to enter the Milky Way must have a reason that threatens the entire Milky Way civilization.

"General, if we want to destroy the Super Fortress of the Fish Horse Star Civilization, the only way now is to obtain a fragment for us to study. Right now, it's like the blind men and the elephant; we can't determine whether the plan will work or not."

" The Super Fortress is indestructible; obtaining fragments is extremely difficult."

"There is a method we might try."

"Real?"

"Hmm, General, have you forgotten about the Neutron Star Cannon? Perhaps we can obtain some fragments using Neutron Star Cannon."

"Is it possible for Neutron Star Cannon to destroy Super Fortress? If so, I can immediately deploy one hundred million Neutron Star Cannon."

"It's impossible. A neutron star colliding with Super Fortress would just be a head-on collision. The Super Fortress has clearly reached, or even exceeded, the strength of a neutron degenerate state. No matter how many Neutron Star Cannon there are, they won't be of much use. However, there is still hope of obtaining some fragments from the impact."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Before long, dozens of stars were moved from the distant Boötes by the fleet and blocked the path of the Super Fortress. In less than three days, the stars turned into neutron stars and were paired up. Due to the difference in spatial density, the paired neutron stars began to glide in space and quickly entered a warp drive state.

The Neutron Star Cannon hurtled toward the Super Fortress at 3,000 times the speed of light. Nothing could stop these dumbbell-shaped projectiles until they crashed into the ground.

With bursts of incredibly bright light appearing, accompanied by explosions of high-energy particles and rays, the Neutron Star Cannon has made contact with the Super Fortress. Tens of thousands of years later, the Milky Way will be able to observe this violent explosion, which will further increase the brightness of the Boötes.

The Super Fortress finally changed; several large craters, several kilometers in diameter, appeared. However, to the Super Fortress, these craters were like a small hole dug into the Earth with a hoe—they had no impact on the Super Fortress's stability or security whatsoever.

Hundreds of Conqueror flew alongside the Neutron Star Cannon. At the moment of the explosion, the Conqueror did indeed discover matter being detached from the Super Fortress. The Conqueror had already prepared spatial containers, which were collected and preserved a split second before the fragments changed. The spatial container was an ultra-high-energy container, and also a container with extremely powerful spatial forces.

This container would be perfectly fine for storing neutron-degenerate matter, but the fleet's current technology doesn't value neutron-degenerate matter much anymore. Neutron Star Cannon Neutron Star Cannon have some use, but they can only be made and used immediately; they cannot be stored or transported.

The Conqueror collected the fragments immediately entered the fourth dimension and headed towards the Secondary Universe. Only in the Secondary Universe could they gain enough time to figure out what was so special about the Super Fortress of the Fish Horse Star Civilization and why it was immune to any attack.
