Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

256: I can do that too! I’ll let you experience the thrill of overwhelming your opponent!As the massive red crystalline brain was completely annihilated under the bombardment of the ”dragon gall” star-killer cannon, the swarm in the entire Galactic Center region instantly fell into paralysis.

Without a unified command, those hideous biological warships drifted like kites with broken strings, crashing aimlessly amidst the gravitational turbulence.

Some collided with stars, turning into balls of fire; others were captured by the black hole’s gravity and stretched into long, thin noodles.

”We won?”

”Zhanlang” looked at the chaotic battlefield on the screen, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in disbelief, ”That big guy is just gone like that?”

”It’s not that simple.”

Lu Chen’s voice remained cold, his gaze locked firmly onto the frantically spinning Sagittarius A* black hole.

That was the throat of the abyss.

”Hum—”

As if to confirm Lu Chen’s premonition, a strange ripple suddenly emerged at the edge of the originally calm black hole event horizon.

It was not an energy wave, nor was it a jet of matter.

It was a piece of paper.

A crystal-clear, transparent ”card” that exuded a dreamlike luster and appeared harmless, slowly drifted out from the depths of the black hole.

It looked so small, practically insignificant against the backdrop of the vast universe.

But the moment it appeared, the surrounding spatial structure began to melt and collapse frantically, like a wax figure encountering high heat!

”Alert! Regular spatial collapse detected!”

heavenly craft’s voice trembled significantly for the first time, ”It’s a Two-Dimensional Foil! And it’s a brood-nest level Two-Dimensional Foil! Its collapse speed is ten thousand times that of a standard model!”

”What?!”

Su Qingying’s face turned pale, and she stared fixedly at the screen, ”What are they trying to do? Using this kind of weapon right on their own doorstep—do they not want to live?”

”They don’t care.”

Lu Chen watched the ”card” that was expanding rapidly with a cold gaze.

The moment that card made contact with matter, the terrifying dimensional collapse began.

Those swarm warships that hadn’t had time to escape were instantly ”pressed” into that infinitely thin plane before they could even scream.

Their three-dimensional structures were violently dismantled, turning into exquisite yet lifeless patterns on a two-dimensional plane.

Thickness, vanished.

That ”painting” spread in all directions at the speed of light, frantically devouring everything—stars, planets, dust, and the retreating swarm army.

This was indiscriminate destruction! To eliminate the human fleet, the monster hiding in the black hole was willing to sacrifice all of its guard dogs!

”It wants to pull us in too!”

”Zhanlang” looked at the two-dimensional abyss that was frantically approaching beneath his feet and felt as if his scalp was about to explode, ”Commander Lu! Our Higher Dimensions shield is sounding an alarm! The suction is too strong; it wants to drag us down from higher-dimensional space!”

That’s right, this Two-Dimensional Foil could not only attack three-dimensional objects, but it also generated a kind of ”dimensional gravity” targeting Higher Dimensions! It was like a whirlpool in a swamp, desperately trying to drag those on the shore into the mire!

”Hmph, wanting to perish together?”

Standing on the command deck, Lu Chen looked at the ”scroll” devouring everything, a sneer of extreme disdain curling the corner of his mouth.

”Are you even worthy?”

He suddenly raised his right hand, and in his palm, a crystal chip that also emitted a faint glow appeared out of thin air.

It was something he had crafted himself before departing, utilizing the ultimate authority rewarded by the system combined with the industrial strength of all humanity—the human version of the Two-Dimensional Foil!

Codename: ”Map of Mountains and Rivers”!

”heavenly craft!”

Lu Chen’s voice exploded like thunder, shaking everyone’s hearts and minds.

”Show it some color!”

”Let these bumpkins who haven’t seen the world know what a real Dimensionality Reduction Strike is!”

【Yes, Master! ”Map of Mountains and Rivers” system activated!】

”Swish—”

As Lu Chen waved his hand, the crystal chip transformed into a stream of light, instantly piercing the dimensional barrier and shooting straight toward the enemy’s spreading Two-Dimensional Foil!

Two ”sheets of paper” met in the void.

There was no explosion, no flash of fire, only a teeth-grinding, violent friction at the level of physical laws!

It was two different sets of physical laws colliding frantically!

”Suppress it for me!”

A sharp light exploded in Lu Chen’s eyes, and he suddenly pressed down into the void!

Boom!!!

The human-made ”Two-Dimensional Foil” revealed its terrifying fangs at this moment.

It did not devour mindlessly like the enemy’s weapon, but instead instantly transformed into a massive ”net” flickering with golden data streams!

This net directly covered the enemy’s ”scroll”!

Immediately after, an incredible scene occurred.

The enemy’s Two-Dimensional Foil, which had been expanding frantically, was actually forcibly frozen by this golden net!

Like a fly stuck in a spiderweb, no matter how it struggled or released gravitational waves, it could not advance even an inch!

This is the ”technological generation gap”!

What Lu Chen possessed was the ultimate theory from the Higher Dimensions system!

”How is that possible?!”

In the ”Galaxy Guardians” spaceship observing from afar, Thor watched this scene, his jaw almost dropping to the floor, ”They... they actually used a Two-Dimensional Foil to seal a Two-Dimensional Foil?! This... what kind of god-tier move is this?!”

But it wasn’t over yet.

”Courtesy demands reciprocity.”

Lu Chen looked at the frozen ”scroll” and smiled coldly.

”Since you like to paint, I’ll give you a bigger one!”

”heavenly craft, reverse analysis!”

”Target: Black hole accretion disk!”

”Flatten all of their barracks, factories, and those hatcheries hiding in the shadows for me!!!”

【Command confirmed! Reverse strike initiated!】

Hum—

The massive golden net contracted violently, then surged backward toward the black hole at a speed ten times faster than before!

This time, it was a true offensive!

That golden ”Two-Dimensional Foil” was like a massive eraser, ruthlessly wiping across the dense cluster of buildings surrounding the black hole.

Those massive space fortresses, those biological factories hatching soldier ants, and those defensive towers still spewing energy all collapsed the moment they touched the golden light!

Thickness reduced to zero!

The once three-dimensional, hideous war machines transformed in the blink of an eye into colorful, flat patterns, forever frozen within that massive golden scroll.

The magnificent fortresses became paper-cuts, and the terrifying giant cannons became stickers.

The most prosperous and terrifying war zone in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy turned into a silent, two-dimensional museum in just a few minutes!

”It... it’s so beautiful...”

Su Qingying watched the massive starry-sky scroll spanning several light-years outside the window, her eyes unfocused as she murmured to herself.

Although she knew it was destruction, this scroll composed of the remains of countless civilizations indeed possessed a breathtaking, cruel beauty.

”Beautiful?”

Lu Chen walked to the porthole and looked at the painting; there was no appreciation in his eyes, only endless coldness.

”This is the fate of the weak.”

”If we don’t resist, this will be Earth’s tomorrow.”

He turned around and looked at the black hole, which remained profound but appeared somewhat lonely because the surrounding matter had been cleared away.

”The small fry have been cleared, now it’s your turn.”

Lu Chen picked up the communicator; his voice was calm, yet it carried a suffocating sense of oppression.

”The thing inside, stop playing dead.”

”Your paintbrush has been broken by me.”

”Next, do you intend to crawl out yourself, or should I fill this black hole in as well?”
