The incredibly dazzling explosion gradually dissipated.
The deep black marks gradually disappeared.
The already extremely scarce resources at the edge of the Milky Way have now created a true vacuum region.
Although the explosion had ended, the spherical warships that caused it remained in place as if facing a formidable enemy.
Time passed by, second by second.
An infinitely long thin line slowly emerged from the vacuum region.
The moment the thin line appeared, it stretched straight toward one of the spherical warships.
Accompanied by an incredibly blinding light, the spherical warship stretched continuously, its width and height rapidly disappearing until it became an infinitely extending, thin, silvery-white line.
Under the influence of its own gravity, this extremely long, silvery-white thread quickly coalesced into a silvery-white ball, which floated quietly in space.
Meanwhile, on the side, in a gray shadow, a constantly twisting, spherical structure slowly emerged.
Subsequently, this spherical structure crashed directly into a spherical warship.
The next moment.
Several creatures with six thin tentacles on their bodies suddenly appeared outside the spherical warship.
They struggled painfully in the vacuum.
Beside them are various parts from inside the spherical warship.
As for the attacked spherical warship, it was now just an empty shell, floating silently next to these "space debris".
The war began.
Without any communication, the moment the identities of both sides were confirmed, the war entered a fierce stage.
This war was bizarre from the very beginning.
Whether it's a sudden explosion or unexpected attacks, every place is filled with a strong sense of eeriness.
...
It is located in the Gliese 555 star system, which is far away on the other side of the Milky Way.
【Earth】
Lu Yongchang sat in his office, silently gazing at the universe outside the porthole.
Not to mention distant stars, even the nearest star, Gliese 555, cannot illuminate this incredibly dark space.
He frowned, deep in thought.
As time went on, his thoughts gradually became clearer.
"Yongchang..."
Fang Xu's faint voice came from the seat next to him.
Lu Yongchang sighed softly and said in a low voice:
"Whether it's the civilization of cleaners or the pastoral civilization, their primary goal is actually to create two-dimensional fragments in the hands of human civilization."
"As for those subordinate civilizations that have no independent thought, needless to say, they are nothing more than lackeys of the Cleaner civilization."
Thinking of the constant prayers of the Bosa civilization, Lü Yongchang scoffed disdainfully.
An interstellar civilization that has come to this point is better off extinct!
“Then…” Fang Xu’s expression changed slightly, and he lowered his voice, “the remaining two-dimensional fragments…”
Lu Yongchang shook his head, banishing those repulsive images from his mind, and then continued to ponder.
The sanitation workers' civility goes without saying.
According to [the painting], they have been searching for two-dimensional beings all along. Although the reason is unclear, it must be related to dimensional technology.
As a result, human civilization, which possesses two-dimensional fragments, naturally becomes its primary target.
Pastoral civilization...
While they may want to avenge the "Painting," with the Cleaners civilization present, their primary objective is also quite predictable.
It's simply a matter of obtaining the two-dimensional fragment before the Cleaner civilization, or preventing the Cleaner civilization from acquiring the two-dimensional fragment.
From this perspective, the path that human civilization should take becomes very clear.
"Throw it away."
Lu Yongchang said with a pained expression, "These two-dimensional fragments are not a good thing in human hands."
"But you can't just throw it away."
Lu Yongchang looked at the porthole with some confusion and murmured softly, "Just throwing it into space, that definitely won't work."
"First, these two-dimensional fragments must be used to create a grand scene."
The reason... is naturally to attract the attention of both the "cleaner civilization" and the "pastoral civilization".
The best solution is to use these two-dimensional fragments to create a two-dimensional star.
The process of a star becoming two-dimensional will inevitably generate incredibly powerful energy and dimensional fluctuations.
These unusual phenomena are bound to attract the attention of advanced civilizations.
Lu Yongchang subconsciously typed a series of data into the holographic projection.
The calculation results are in.
The quantity is insufficient.
Thirty two-dimensional fragments are insufficient to launch a two-dimensional attack on a star.
“A planet…” Lu Yongchang tapped his knuckles lightly on the desk and murmured softly.
This is not difficult.
The Gliese 555 star system contains many planets.
"No." Lü Yongchang seemed to remember something, a look of horror flashing in his eyes. "It's not enough, it's still not enough!"
Fang Xu didn't speak, but just looked at Lü Yongchang with a puzzled expression.
"It's just a two-dimensional representation of an ordinary planet, at most it will distract the Cleaner civilization."
"And there's also pastoral civilization!"
"Don't forget the message [the artist] sent before he died!"
Fang Xu's expression immediately changed.
Yes, other advanced civilizations may not believe the message conveyed by the "painting," but the Pastoral Faction will undoubtedly continue to pay attention to human civilization!
"To survive, cut off the tail." Lü Yongchang closed his eyes tightly, his body trembling slightly, and squeezed out four syllables through his teeth.
Fang Xu's eyes widened suddenly.
He understood the meaning behind Lü Yongchang's words.
Abandon a portion of humanity!
Let a portion of human civilization be transformed into a vast scroll painting!
To convince those advanced civilizations that human civilization has perished!
Only in this way can the remaining humans barely have the right to live!
Like Lü Yongchang, Fang Xu's body also began to tremble at that moment.
A deep fear welled up in his eyes.
The words of opposition surged from his stomach, but got stuck in his throat.
After a brief silence, he uttered a hoarse question, his jaw trembling.
How many people do you need?
“A lot. The rural faction isn’t stupid. You can’t fool them…” Lü Yongchang repeated again, “It will take a lot of people!”
"Where should we choose?"
"……I have no idea."
"This is a crime! No matter who you choose, it's a crime!" Fang Xu lowered his voice and growled in a low voice!
“I know, of course I know this is a crime.” Lu Yongchang raised his hand to cover his eyes, his face full of pain, and said, “But this may be the only way out.”
Fang Xu let out a long breath and slumped into his seat.
"Yes, yes, this may be the only way out."
"This damn universe..."
Like Lü Yongchang, he also turned his head to look at the porthole next to him.
Endless fear was reflected in his eyes!
