Chapter 623: Final Chapter: Domination of the Milky Way_3
Experts speculated that this was a high-end two-dimensional strike, and what cut through the human warships was none other than a net woven out of two-dimensional space.
Humanity still cannot manipulate two-dimensional technology as adeptly, just as the Singer civilization cannot now create mini suns.
While the sides were locked in fierce combat, space within the Singer civilization's territory suddenly began to compress rapidly!
At this juncture of war, the power of the fifth dimension joined the battle.
Several hundred astronomical units of three-dimensional space were compressed to an infinitely small zero-dimensional point in an instant.
There were over a dozen such points of zero-dimensional weapon detonations, causing massive losses to the Singer civilization.
Subsequently, even the Singer warships that weren't swept up in the zero-dimensional assault started to explode and lose control.
In the eyes of five-dimensional human soldiers, the interior structures of Singer ships were as if exposed, and so they launched their attacks from the higher dimension onto the Singer warships.
The arrival of humanity's fifth-dimensional forces instantly turned the tide of the battle, leading to the collapse of the Singer civilization.
Their defeat quickly accelerated as the fifth-dimensional onslaught was something they had never encountered; they thought they were facing an unknown attack from an advanced civilization like the Big Tree.
This decisive battle shattered the last pillar of the Singer civilization's spirit, and colonies throughout their realm began to collapse in flight.
Some Singers and seeds deeply regretted not entering two-dimensional space earlier to hide; they huddled together and converted themselves into two dimensions.
...
The place where dreams begin
is also the place where dreams end
My homeland
We have abandoned you once again
O universe
Your embrace so vast
Your arms so wide
Yet why is there no place for me to stand?
Where should I go?
Where should my soul return?...
The Singer Elder sang this ballad, setting out once again on the road of flight.
The last vestiges of the civilization's morale were scattered, and from then on, the entire civilization would live in the trembling shadow of the Dark Forest Strike.
It was at this time that the enemy sent a simple message of intelligence.
After translation, the general meaning was: "We received your Two-dimensional foil long ago, and now it's time for you to repay the debt."
The Singer Elder laughed bitterly and said, "In the end, who is the hunter and who is the prey?"
He began to sing a newly composed ballad:
Fate is the eternal adversary
Time is the curse
Only the Grim Reaper
is immortal in the universe...
...
Two corps of the human fleet had not yet engaged in battle; they had been prepared to blockade the fleeing Singer forces and refugees.
As for those Singers and seeds that had entered two-dimensional space, they could be ignored for the time being.
Just as the people of the Singer civilization were preparing to enter warp flight, the space before them suddenly became as solid as iron.
Every particle, every atom, every dark matter particle seemed to be preventing the advance of the Singer warships.
The key was an inexplicable disturbance in the particles, making warp transit impossible for the ships.
This was a new technology developed jointly by three-dimensional humans and fifth-dimensional forces, capable of controlling particles that could initiate warp reactions for a certain period, specifically designed to prevent the Singers' rapid warp escapes.
For a time, some Singer ships chose to turn back, ready to clash with the human fleet in hot pursuit; others, holding onto a glimmer of hope, continued to attempt warp acceleration.
Most of them were rapidly caught and destroyed one by one by the pursuing human warships.
Many more Singer ships steered towards the nearby two-dimensional realm, entering it to hide.
Then the human fleet turned back to annihilate the colonies of the Singer civilization, ensuring no Singers could escape.
Some Singer worlds were quickly engulfed by the Dark Domain, but the human fleet's assault did not stop.
Humans had now mastered the technique to break through the Dark Domain, simply by launching a large number of high-speed particles in front of their ships to collide with the slowed-down light particles within the Dark Domain.
Speeding up the reduced-velocity light particles back to near-light speed, the Dark Domain could be breached.
After the advent of this technology, the definition of a safety declaration changed to "safety declarations of middle to lower-level civilizations."
If they encountered a civilization as advanced as the Singers, regardless of what they thought, humans believed they were just a method to evade the Dark Forest Strike and must be eradicated!
After all, since humans had mastered such technology, who knew if the Singer civilization might have also mastered something similar?
Therefore, even worlds shrouded by the Dark Domain could not escape the human warships' attack.
The once conceited Singer civilization was thus defeated by humanity.
Of course, humanity also paid a heavy price: out of twelve corps, eight lost more than half their strength, and two were reduced to just one-fifth of their original capacity.
And that was with substantial support provided from the rear.
It would take humanity thirty years to replenish the losses suffered in this war.
It would take fifty years for humanity to overcome the economic losses inflicted by this war.
But compared to the tremendous victory achieved, these were trivial matters.
...
The Solar System, the Moon.
Jiang Yu, dressed in ceremonial attire, joined the victory parade on the Moon, where the entire human world had been celebrating for a full day!
Defeating a third-rate civilization would not warrant a parade.
It's only by defeating an opponent of comparable strength that people truly rejoice from the depths of their hearts.
