Fleet command center.
[Warning! Warning!]
High energy fluctuations detected!
[The enemy is suspected of preparing a gamma-ray burst attack!]
Those who were still analyzing the data immediately heard the warning given by strong artificial intelligence.
"A strike? How did they lock onto us?"
They were puzzled. Logically, they were well hidden and shouldn't have been able to launch an attack before them.
"No need to guess, this energy fluctuation is undoubtedly an indiscriminate attack. The other side wants to force us to reveal our true form so they can launch an attack on us."
Zhuo Yuanming said calmly.
The others understood, but the cost of such a blow was too high. Did the other side want to drain all the energy of their civilization?
"High Priest, shall we retaliate?"
The group inquired whether the only option now was to defend against attacks or launch preemptive strikes to prevent them from attacking.
Zhuo Yuanming's eyes flickered as if he had thought of another approach: "Prepare to enter the fourth dimension."
"this..."
No one expected the high priest to be so cautious, but it was a good method. Only by hiding in the shadows could they instill endless fear in their opponents and make them vulnerable to being targeted.
"yes!"
Everyone started operating it.
[Preparing for Dimensional Upgrade...]
[Energy allocation...computing power allocation...]
[Spatial folding....]
[It is estimated that all objects in this area will be rendered in four dimensions within ten seconds...]
【10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1】
[Upgrade!]
"call out!"
In an instant, the entire fleet vanished into this three-dimensional universe.
After a long while, the metallic planet unleashed a terrifying gamma-ray burst that indiscriminately struck all space within a light-year.
The blinding light made the entire universe flicker.
Ripples spread through the space.
Countless innocent civilizations perished instantly under such attacks, trampled to death like ants on the roadside, ignored by all.
The gamma-ray burst lasted for more than ten seconds, but those ten seconds felt as long as more than ten years.
The human race, existing in four-dimensional space, simply watched quietly as everything in three-dimensional space became completely visible to them.
They can access any event that occurred in this space at any given time period.
There are no secrets about anything.
......
"Is there any unusual activity in the surrounding space?"
"Analyze the data immediately!"
"Report! No unusual activity detected!"
When the analysis results came out, the metal men looked at each other, completely confused.
"Could it be that the enemy has already died from our gamma-ray burst attack?"
A simple metal figure spoke.
The other metal beings looked at it like it was an idiot: "The other side's technological level can't be that low. They must have used technological means that we don't know or haven't mastered."
"So what do we do next? The other side has all our data and information. If we just sit and wait to die, we will definitely be subjected to continuous targeted attacks."
The leading metal figures remained silent. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation. If their technology lagged behind even slightly, they could only passively take the beating.
To put it simply, if the enemy's range is 100 meters, even if our attack range is 99.9 meters, we still can't do anything to them.
A small difference can lead to a huge error!
"Escape, abandon this star system, and don't engage in a pointless struggle with them."
The leader said.
This is the only option at the moment. There's no benefit in fighting them. I was doing just fine here, and I don't even know when these troublesome guys started targeting me.
"yes!"
All the metal beings agreed that this made sense; if they couldn't win, couldn't they at least run away?
"I come to communicate with the gold of life."
The leader's consciousness began to connect with the planet's consciousness.
That's right, this metallic planet is also a life form. This is truly a wonder of the world. I wonder how this planet mutated.
After a long while, the leader slowly opened his eyes and said, "Prepare to integrate into the planet and start the escape mode. My lord has also agreed to my decision. There is no point in fighting with the other side."
Thus, the order was issued, and all the metal beings began the fusion process.
One by one, the metal figures turned into a pool of molten iron and were gradually absorbed by the planet.
Once all the metal beings had merged into one, the planet began to warp space in preparation for a faster-than-light escape.
This planet... let's just call it the sphere from now on...
This sphere can utilize all the technology of the Metalman civilization, and once the warp drive is activated, it will become a super-large faster-than-light spaceship.
Four-dimensional space.
"High Priest, the other side is preparing to withdraw."
In a four-dimensional state, the human species had already noticed their movements.
Zhuo Yuanming looked at the metallic planet and sneered, "Playing with space technology in front of us? Utterly laughable! Seal off space!"
"yes!"
The group got to work, preparing to target them from across dimensions. That's the shameless part: you can't hit me, but I can easily strike you, and you have no way to avoid it.
It's like someone in a three-dimensional space can freely pick up a paintbrush and kill a stick figure on paper, while no matter how the other party attacks, it can't cause you the slightest harm.
Being separated by a single dimension is like a divine punishment!
In an instant, the attack on the human race arrived.
The space surrounding that metallic planet was instantly sealed off.
No matter how much a warp drive the size of a planet bends spacetime, it cannot cause the slightest wrinkling in space.
Without spatial folds, you couldn't even move a fraction of a distance, let alone exceed the speed of light.
In three dimensions, you are simply standing still.
Once the ball realized that the warp drive was not working, it immediately changed its escape method.
A huge gap appeared on the planet, and a massive amount of energy was ejected, attempting to use the thrust to escape quickly.
"Activate the interdimensional sealing!"
"Fold all the space surrounding the target, creating countless parallel universes, and trap it!"
Zhuo Yuanming gave the order.
"yes!"
"An alternate dimension has formed! The distance is infinitely stretched to create a closed spatial loop!"
The ball was unaware that it was trapped before the attack was even launched.
In its perception, it is still flying rapidly and moving further and further away from its original space.
The human race simply watched the show quietly in four-dimensional space, wanting to see how long that ball would take to fly.
There is no concept of time in four-dimensional space.
After an unknown amount of time, the ball finally stopped.
The human race was also removed from the seal of the alternate dimension.
One by one, the metal figures began to re-manifest their bodies.
"Have we gotten rid of them...?"
The metal man constantly reshapes his body as he observes his surroundings.
"Something terrible has happened, Chief!"
Suddenly someone exclaimed.
"What's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss? Have they caught up with us?"
The leader frowned.
"No...no...I don't know if they've caught up or not, but the data shows we're still in our original star system!"
All the metal people were shocked by these words.
The leader was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and immediately tried to communicate with the planet's consciousness to inquire about the situation.
But the answer was that it had already led the entire civilization to fly several star systems away, and it was impossible for it to still be in the original star system.
The metal people thought the data was wrong, but when they observed the stars in this star system, they were all dumbfounded.
"It's still the same star!!!"
An endless fear gripped everyone's hearts.
P.S.: The data is terrible! Why am I not getting any traffic for any of the books? I'm so frustrated, I'm numb, and all my enthusiasm is gone. Sigh...
