The Dimensional Waves rolled forward, and numerous fourth dimensions appeared haphazardly in the space ahead. This was a forced dimensional upgrade in three-dimensional space. However, such dimensions were very unstable. The moment they appeared, they would enter a dimensional reduction phase. And in that instant, the energy of three-dimensional space would enter the interior of the Mechanical Civilization's fleet through the fourth dimension and cause destruction.
This is a fatal blow. Although the Mechanical Civilization's warships have mechanisms to defend against fourth-dimensional infiltration, these mechanisms cannot be activated in three-dimensional space. Moreover, Dimensional Waves ascension is not widespread; this fourth dimension may only be within a few hundred meters, or even smaller, and it is unpredictable. No one knows when or where the fourth dimension will appear, making it virtually impossible to defend against.
At first, the Mechanical Civilization lords did not take it seriously because the enemy's fleet was too small, only 100,000 ships, while they had a full 200 trillion warships. These warships blocked out the starry sky, and their warships were everywhere within a one-light-year radius. Even the Super Fortress of the Fish Horse Star Civilization still looked insignificant in front of these fleets.
While the warships of the Fish Horse Star Civilization could withstand dimensional reduction attacks, they could not withstand this kind of dimensional infiltration. If the fourth dimension was blocked, then another fourth dimension would be created. If the external world could block dimensional reduction attacks, then the fourth dimension would be used to infiltrate the interior and cause damage. Even Hu Yu admired this attack method. In terms of defense, even the Expeller themselves might not be able to defend against this kind of three-dimensional infiltration attack.
Wherever the Expeller went, it was as if they were in an empty land; any obstruction was ineffective. The Fish Horse Star Civilization could increase the dimensions of three-dimensional space, but it could not increase or decrease dimensions in a space that was disturbed by attacks like the Expeller. Even if this increase or decrease of dimensions was random, it was already so powerful that the Mechanical Civilization could not resist it.
One after another, the Mechanical Civilization's warships were destroyed, either directly smashed or rendered immobile by internal dimensional reduction damage to their equipment. Because the Mechanical Civilization's warships were so concentrated, the Expeller was like a shark entering a school of fish, with the enemy only able to be hunted down.
By the time the Mechanical Lord realized what was happening, over a billion warships had already been destroyed. Enraged, the Mechanical Lord immediately mobilized even more warships to surround and capture these Expeller.
In the Alpha Universe, the Mechanical Civilization could reign supreme because that universe was imperfect and its physical system was chaotic, which greatly affected the development of the civilization. After arriving in this vast universe, the Mechanical Civilization was repeatedly hunted down. As for Galactic-Level Civilization, the Mechanical Civilization had never even heard of them, and no one had told them about them.
Therefore, these giant ships before the Mechanical Lord were completely unexpected by the Galactic-Level Civilization. They were merely a special type of warship among the Great Star Region Advanced Civilization. Indeed, these warships were relatively small in size, much smaller than Early Galaxy-Level warships like the Slaughterer. Not only did the Mechanical Civilization Lord think so, but all the civilizations in the Milky Way and the Fish Horse Star Civilization simply believed that these were special warships of humanity.
The Expeller were surrounded by the Mechanical Civilization's warships, and various spatial attacks had caused the entire airspace to fluctuate wildly. Like a giant ship in a stormy sea, the Expeller braved the wind and waves, forging ahead and launching devastating attacks on the surrounding Mechanical Civilization's warships.
Seeing that the Mechanical Civilization's attack was fruitless, Hu Yu simply let the Expeller attack freely. An hour later, the Mechanical Lord began to be confused. Two hours later, the Mechanical Lord began to doubt itself. Five hours later, the Mechanical Lord began to despair.
The Expeller were like arrows of death, turning everything in their path to ashes. The civilization present was beyond words in describing the terror of these warships. Even Hu Yu was deeply shocked by the Expeller. He had originally thought that these warships were only slightly more advanced than the Slaughterer warships, but he never expected that the Expeller would be this terrifying.
One hundred thousand Expeller, one hundred thousand fragmentation belts— the Expeller were perfectly transformed into warship crushers, and the warships of Mechanical Civilization became raw materials for interstellar debris.
The five hours that took the Mechanical Lord from being stunned to despair were bought with the sacrifice of nearly a trillion warships. At this rate of attack, his fleet would be completely wiped out in a year or two. With this in mind, the Mechanical Lord immediately ordered all warships to stay away from these terrifying attackers.
However, the Mechanical Lord could not completely disobey the Dark Shadow's orders, putting him in a dilemma. He was only being forcibly controlled and coerced, not obeying from the bottom of his heart. The Mechanical Civilization was different from other civilizations; the fleet was his life. Now that the fleet was being destroyed one after another, it meant that his life was also being lost.
If the entire fleet is lost, the Mechanical Lord will be left with no one to command. He himself has no confidence that he can stop this unstoppable fleet. If he continues to hold on, the end of Mechanical Civilization will not be far off.
Although the Mechanical Lord was somewhat afraid of the Dark Shadow, it was actually the Yun San Civilization that was controlling it. The Mechanical Lord had been hunted down since arriving in the Milky Way. During this time, the Mechanical Lord had also studied how to escape control if he were controlled. Now the Mechanical Lord had some plans to escape control, but they were not yet perfect, so for the time being, he could only swallow his anger and obey the Dark Shadow.
At this moment, the Fish Horse Star Civilization was completely terrified by the attack power of these warships. The Fish Horse Star leader issued another emergency order, requiring all civilization beings to go all out. Fish Horse Star had now reached its final moment. This was not a matter of whether the plan would succeed or fail, but a matter of life and death for the civilization.
"The leader of the Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization." The Mechanical Lord attempted to establish contact with the Fish Horse Star Civilization.
" Mechanical Lord, what is it?"
"A bunch of idiots, why aren't you moving forward?" The Mechanical Lord vented his anger on the Fish Horse Star Civilization.
Upon hearing the Mechanical Lord's question, the leader of the Fish Horse Star's expression changed drastically. This Mechanical Civilization was definitely not seeking revenge against the Milky Way Milky Way for having once hunted him down. If it were revenge, the Mechanical Lord would not have asked this question at all. Since the Mechanical Lord asked this question, it was clear that the Mechanical Lord had to help the Fish Horse Star Civilization for other reasons.
At first, the Fish Horse Star Civilization did not realize this situation. Although the Expeller were terrifying, their numbers were limited, and the Mechanical Civilization's fleet losses were less than one percent, which did not cause any major damage to the Mechanical Civilization. That's why the Mechanical Civilization did not retreat. Now that the enemy is so terrifying, the Mechanical Civilization still has not retreated, which means there is a problem.
" Mechanical Lord, we are not proceeding. The power of the Milky Way Fleet has exceeded our expectations. We are now preparing to repair the fortress, then retreat away from Boötes, away from the Milky Way, and into other star systems."
