Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

A few seconds ago.

The four-dimensional beings struggled to resist the relentless bombardment from the human fleet.

Intense gravitational fluctuations constantly appeared around it, tearing at its body and placing an enormous burden on its core.

It attempted to open a wormhole to escape—compared to the threat posed by the human fleet, the spatial turbulence caused by the uncontrolled wormhole was nothing!

Under the influence of countless miniature black holes and gravitational bombs, it is simply impossible for it to open a wormhole large enough to allow it to pass through!

As it attempted to strike, several spatial rifts attacked from tricky angles, slamming into the shield it had erected.

The spatial shield flickered a few times before vanishing silently under its desperate gaze.

The overburdened space shield has been shattered.

Its situation will become even more difficult from now on!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The flashes of the dark matter cannon kept coming from its side, compressing its already narrow living space!

The four-dimensional spatial rift roared in and flashed past its side.

Under the influence of the dark matter cannon, it was unable to dodge in time and a small part of its body was taken away by the spatial rift.

It makes up about 0.15% of the entire body and is almost entirely insignificant surface armor.

It's rare, but it's an incredibly bad sign.

As the spatial rifts continued to hurtle in, the four-dimensional beings could only try their best to avoid attacks on their vital organs.

What it needs to do now is to buy time—either until the space shield is repaired and restarted, or until the momentum of the human fleet's attack begins to wane.

As long as the core and thinking organs remain intact, it has won!

Just as it was preparing to lose more than 90% of its four-dimensional body, it suddenly discovered a phenomenon that surprised it.

The firepower of the human fleet is decreasing at an extremely rapid rate!

It suddenly widened its eyes, revealing not joy, but deep fear!

It's so abnormal!

It didn't believe that the human fleet's firepower could only last for that long!

The only explanation is that the enemy used more powerful weapons, making the original barrage of fire unnecessary!

The so-called firepower coverage is nothing but a smokescreen to deceive people!

An unknown fear suddenly overwhelmed its heart!

Escape! We must escape!!

It struggled to its feet and charged directly towards the area where the attack was relatively weak!

then……

It saw an ordinary missile.

What is this?

A fleeting doubt crossed its eyes, which quickly turned into terror.

Under its gaze, the missile's nose cone quietly cracked open, revealing a fragment shimmering with a faint dark light in space.

That familiar fluctuation, it knew it all too well!

[Two-dimensional fragments!!]

How is this possible?! How could human civilization possibly possess two-dimensional technology?!

It frantically turned around, trying to retreat.

but……

Dark matter cannons and countless spatial rifts halted its advance.

After only a moment's hesitation, the Van Gogh project was officially launched!

Like crystals, two-dimensional space rapidly spreads outward around it!

Finally, the two-dimensional plane caught up with it.

The original four-dimensional body has shown signs of dimensional reduction under the influence of the two-dimensional plane!

It writhed wildly, its eyes filled with terror.

Unlike ordinary conventional weapons, dimensional reduction attacks can actually kill it!

Seeing that it couldn't break free, it directly poured all its zero-point energy into its core!

Now that things have come to this, only the core members can possibly save his life!

Under the protection of the core, its body gradually stabilized, and the original signs of dimensional reduction gradually dissipated.

Before it could even catch its breath.

As the fluctuations of the four-dimensional leap came, the planetary fortresses roared in and launched a thick energy transmission channel towards the missile!

In order to receive external energy, the missile's outer shell continuously peels off, exposing its internal components!

It's a device with a design similar to the core of a pastoral style!

In that instant, the doubts and shock vanished.

It understood! It completely understood why human civilization had mastered two-dimensional technology!

【Silk!! Ants!!】

It let out a roar, its eyes filled with intense resentment!

They didn't destroy their cores the moment they were captured!

Isn't this practically offering warmth and assistance to human civilization?!

Traitor! Traitor to the pastoralists!!

At this point, it's too late to be angry.

As energy pathways were connected to the missile, the power of the reduced-dimensional energy gradually surpassed the power of its internal core.

Its body began to fall uncontrollably into lower dimensions!

……

Starting from the edge, a large number of four-dimensional structures first fall to three-dimensional.

Normally, these three-dimensional objects will quickly decompose into basic particles.

However, under the influence of Van Gogh, before they could transform, they embarked on another journey of dimensional reduction.

Falling into two dimensions!

The giant painting in the starry sky is expanding at an unprecedented speed.

Various extremely twisted structures rapidly extend across it!

Even the strongest structure cannot withstand two consecutive dimensional reductions.

Within the painting, those distorted structures are gradually collapsing.

In time, this giant starry sky painting will become a particle snapshot filled with various basic particles!

The entire dimensionality reduction process lasted a full day.

In the end, this four-dimensional being that came from afar transformed into a painting spanning over two hundred light-years.

The energy input pathways were disconnected one by one, and [Van Gogh] also stopped working.

Under the influence of its own gravity, the scroll began to rapidly curl up.

Before it could fully curl up, assimilation from three dimensions transformed it into countless fundamental particles.

P.S.: Thanks to the little jellyfish on Mars for the amazing certification *2!

Thank you so much, Little Lichen, for the expert certification!

Thank you Haoyuezhidong for the expert certification!

You're awesome, boss! (voice cracks)
