Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1527 Chaotic Battle
Among these two-dimensional fragments are numerous warships from a paper civilization, torn to shreds like scraps of paper. When the detector scans the two-dimensional fragments, it can even see the cross-sections of the warships within the cut surfaces of those fragments.

The internal structure of the warship is clearly visible in the cross-section, with the layers of space clearly defined.

Judging from the cross-section, the paper civilization did not transform their life forms into two-dimensional beings; they remained three-dimensional beings. The general craftsmanship of their paper warships was also visible to everyone. It seems that they used two-dimensional space to seal the warships in two-dimensional space like sealing amber, achieving the effect of turning them into a single warship.

Of course, the specific technology is certainly not that simple, because they also need to take into account the warship's offensive, defensive, mobile, and communication functions, which inevitably involves information exchange technology between different dimensions. That must be an extremely complex thing, otherwise, so many civilizations would not be the only ones to have mastered it.

Thanks to the Awakener's dense, large-scale, and powerful spatial shattering, everyone was able to see the general situation of the paper civilization's warship.

There are two reasons why these two-dimensional fragments did not cause a dimensional reduction in three-dimensional space. One is that the space-cutting rules of the awakener prevented the spread of the two-dimensional fragments. The other is that these two-dimensional fragments do not have a dimensional reduction function. Unlike the two-dimensional foil, they do not contain a huge amount of energy that can push one dimension of three dimensions into the curled-up microscopic space.

Therefore, there is only one ultimate fate for these two-dimensional fragments: in the near future, they will fall back into the water like ice shards leaping out of the water, and then re-merge into the water.

The Star Guardians once told various civilizations that the two-dimensional catastrophe could actually be prevented, and it seems that this is indeed the case.

Besides using the power of dimensional ascension to block it, one can also directly shatter it, just like the Awakener is doing now.

Of course, all operations require energy. Dimensional reduction requires energy, and bringing it back also requires energy. Ultimately, it is the universe that suffers damage, and the vacuum decay region will not be reduced as a result.

That said, the Awakeners' counterattack could not completely destroy the warships of the 1.2 billion paper civilization. After all, war is not a turn-based system. Many paper warships took evasive action after noticing the rectangular patterns appearing in the two-dimensional space.

They stretched and flipped their hulls, changing their shape in two-dimensional space, in order to avoid being cut apart.

However, due to the suddenness of the attack, the losses were heavy. With the Awakener's counterattack, nearly 800 million of the 1.2 billion paper civilization warships were directly destroyed.

Meanwhile, the Awakeners, the Silver Heart Civilization, the Daya Civilization, and the human civilization's warships, after being shattered in two-dimensional space, slid out of the fragments or jumped out directly, returning to three-dimensional space and restoring their normal forms.

The war did not end after a round of attacks between the two sides; on the contrary, the mutual attacks and defenses were only the beginning of the war.

This marked the beginning of an even more brutal war, because after the Great De civilization's massive spacetime folding and the Awakeners' dense, ultra-large-scale powerful spatial shattering were unleashed, the two sides were now almost face-to-face, mixed together.

This moment is just like our past moments.

The combat personnel within each of the four civilizations—Silver Heart, Daya, Humanity, and the Awakeners—did not stand idly by and watch themselves be attacked. Upon discovering the "earth-shattering catastrophe," they were already coordinating calculations with the combat systems on every warship. They calculated the warships' ability to withstand the enemy's attack, the required power output to withstand it, and how to counterattack after jumping back to three dimensions.

From the moment the war began, every shipboard computer worked non-stop, detecting, inputting, calculating, providing feedback, and outputting data.
The combat personnel and machines on the warships constantly interact, and their collaboration constitutes the manifestation of each warship in the macrocosm. This is true for the four civilizations of the Great Voyage Organization, and also for the nine civilizations of the Reboot Organization. After discovering that two-dimensional attacks could not destroy the enemy's conventional capital ships, they made various predictions based on observational data and then derived various countermeasures.

As soon as the Great Voyage Organization returned to three-dimensional space, it launched a counterattack. The Rebooters Organization was not to be outdone. Both sides were using their own rules to override the other's rules based on the changes in the physical rules of the battlefield.

Various attacks targeting warships instantly spread across the entire battlefield. Void attacks and spatial cutting became conventional weapons, and invisible artillery fire and black lines crisscrossed the battlefield.

At this moment, the paper civilization's conventional warships also demonstrated their conventional offensive and defensive capabilities. Because everyone was mixed together, they did not scatter a bunch of two-dimensional foils like dogs shaking water before, since that would accidentally injure their teammates.

Then everyone saw those paper warships, like stretching, film-like worms, shorten their bodies to gather power, and then flick their heads to point their cannons across three-dimensional space at the target warship.

When faced with an attack, the paper warships would align their sides with the source of the attack, thus transforming themselves into a two-dimensional shield, deflecting the attack as easily as water flowing over a duck's back across the two-dimensional plane.

The Great Virtue Civilization acts like a remote support system, using large-space folding technology to remotely control the entire battlefield void. It can warp, stretch, compress, or fold spacetime, allowing its own fleet to evade attacks from point-fire weapons simply by teleporting.

On this battlefield, there are countless "bullets" that can turn corners, and the Great De civilization has even come up with new tricks to play with the entire battlefield void. Its spatial curvature is sometimes large and sometimes small, but they are able to synchronize the data with their own warships.

Unfortunately, this single-shot ability is completely ineffective against humans and awakeners. These two can easily dodge unless attacked over a wide area, demonstrating their maximum evasion ability.

Therefore, after this close-quarters melee, the civilization that suffered the most casualties among the four civilizations was actually the Daya civilization, whose conventional warships were truly conventional warships.

Perhaps it was the destruction of their warships that made the nine civilizations of the Rebooters organization feel a little better.

However, their good fortune was short-lived. Before the nine civilizations of the Rebooters could even rejoice, a warship named Daya launched its long-prepared attack.

A very special and invisible impact emanated from the Super Da Ya, affecting a range of 2.5 light-years centered on the Super Da Ya.

This attack seemed to come from another technological system; it penetrated the layers of protection provided by various rules and directly struck the soul that commanded life.

Super Da Ya-hao unleashed its first soul-destroying strike since the start of the war.

In an instant, countless life forms with weak souls collapsed, losing consciousness and their sense of self; they perished.
