Chapter 93.2 : Painting!

In the Dragon Ball universe, Beerus envisioned Goku's state at that universe and chuckled at himself.

"I tend to overthink things; even ten thousand versions of myself can't destroy that light."

In the Hokage's world, Orochimaru wore a joyful expression as if about to soar into the heavens, hands cradling the light like a tender embrace.

This power is unparalleled, embodying the allure of ultimate science!

At this moment, his appearance sent shivers down Obito's spine.

(The three-body planetary system fell silent once more, the colossal tetrahedral spaceship long vanished.)

Tony, encapsulated in his bubble, found this scene somewhat perplexing.

It seemed as though the spaceship purposefully arrived to obliterate the Trisolaran civilization.

Such suspicions lingered in the minds of many.

[Text appears on the screen.]

[In this world, the universe is a dark forest, and each civilization is a hunter armed with a gun, stealthily navigating the forest like a ghost, gingerly parting the obstructing branches, striving to keep every step noiseless, even mindful of their breath.]

[One must be cautious, for hunters like them are prowling everywhere in the forest, and if they spot another life, there is only one course of action: shoot and destroy.]

[In this forest, every place is hell, an everlasting menace, and any life that exposes its presence will swiftly be eradicated. This is the tableau of cosmic civilization.]

This is the brutal law of cosmic survival!

From this, we can deduce why the Trisolaran civilization met its demise.

Their coordinates were exposed.

At this moment, countless individuals are grateful that their world does not adhere to this rule!

The prospect of galaxy-annihilating blows is too daunting.

Each person carries the Damocles sword overhead, uncertain when it might descend.

[Time rapidly advances, and after an indeterminate span, a spacecraft traversed the solar system.]

[The owner of this spaceship is a formidable civilization, with a humble and lowly cleaner at the helm.]

[His duty is to eliminate the civilizations he encounters!]

[He lacks a name but enjoys humming a tune, earning him the moniker "The Singer."]

[In the solar system, The Singer inadvertently detected the coordinates of the decimated Trisolaran galaxy, discovering the naive civilization that marked it—the Earth.]

At this point, countless viewers felt a tightening in their hearts, as if they had glimpsed Earth's impending doom.

[The Singer promptly realized that the star-bomber, signaling by manipulating the sun, possessed the ability to mark others.]

[Swiftly concealing his spaceship, he prepared to deploy a light particle.]

[Yet, upon closer observation, The Singer noticed that the star system containing the star-bomber had certain angles of attack with light particles.]

[Thus, The Singer appealed to the elders for an alternative weapon—two-way foil.]

[Resembling a small, transparent sheet, it looked like a rectangular membrane measuring 8.5 centimeters in length and 5.2 centimeters in width. Extremely thin, it appeared invisible when encapsulated—crystal clear, colorless, and transparent.]

[The Singer then employed gravitational tentacles to propel it to the edge of the solar system.]

Countless viewers felt their hearts freeze; this time, they would no longer underestimate any weapon in this world.

No matter how minuscule, it commanded attention!

However, their limited understanding prevented them from grasping how this small piece of paper could launch an attack.

Most individuals speculated that the tiny paper could trigger an explosion of immense proportions, capable of annihilating the entire solar system.

Inside the protective bubble, Tony and his companions observed from a distance of tens of meters.

The illiterate representatives, including Uchiha Madara, all fixed their gaze on Tony.

He merely rolled his eyes, choosing not to speak, realizing that for these advanced civilizations, he too was considered illiterate.

[The human exploration spacecraft also detected this object and closely monitored it.]

[However, they failed to locate Tony and the others, seemingly existing in another dimension.]

[Soon, humans discovered that it was a small, glowing, transparent piece of paper allowing anything to pass through!]

[Due to the lack of communication, the Apocalypse spacecraft had to encase the opponent through its own displacement and confine it in the cabin.]

In the face of the [transparent paper sheet], humans perceived no imminent threat.

[At this point, higher-ups among humans believed it wasn't a threat but a friendly message from another civilization, leading to complete relaxation.]

[Even the astronauts within the cabin danced around the pieces of paper.]

Inside the bubble, a fully transformed Uchiha Madara shook his head.

Weakness and ignorance are not barriers to survival; arrogance is.

Evidently, the inhabitants of this world exhibited great arrogance.

[Not long after, the light emitted by the small piece of paper vanished entirely.]

[At this point, humans realized that the radiating light originated from the encapsulation position on the outer layer of the paper.]

[However, when the sugar coating enclosing the poison completely evaporates, destruction ensues.]

(The space around the two-way foil begins to converge, as if being drawn into a flat abyss.

[This marks the three-dimensional world descending to two-dimensional, and the speed of this descent is the speed of light!]

[With the Revelation spacecraft as the epicenter, a scroll gradually unfolds.]

[At this point, Shinigami waves his brush, transforming the entire solar system into a giant painting with zero thickness.

[This is a dimensional reduction strike!]

In the solar system, all material dimensions undergo compression.

[Poseidon and Saturn morph into a pair of enormous twisted eyes.]

[Then it's Earth's turn!

[The two-dimensional Earth, with countless details becoming apparent!]

[The fleeing crowd, (Li Lihao), the frozen flock of birds, the suspended rain, and even every worm and bacterium are flattened into the painting.]

[This will be a lifeless world, a lifeless painting!]

[After Mercury also joins the picture, the descent of the sun begins.]

[In the center of the fiery sea, the sun slowly sinks into the painting, creating a magnificent blood-red scene.]

[The process of descent lasts for an hour before the sun is fully engulfed.]

(At the same time, Venus and Mars are also embedded in the painting!)

[The two-dimensional claws then extend towards the Pluton star, falling with nitrogen and hydrogen snowflakes!]

[Finally, a scroll named Starry Sky is born.]

Off-screen, there is no sound, not even the gasps of the frozen onlookers.

It seems that individuals from the outside world are also suspended within the painting.

At this moment, a voice emerges from the darkened painting.

As if rewinding time, the sound that was abruptly cut off in the previous scene reappears.

["I need a piece of two-way foil for cleaning," the singer said to the elder.]

["Here," the elder immediately handed the singer a piece.]

[The singer looks a bit disturbed, "Why are you giving it to me this time?"]

["This isn't something valuable." Attack]

["But if this thing is used excessively, it's always..."]

["It's used throughout the universe."]

["Yes, it's used everywhere, but we used to exercise some restraint. Now..."]

["Did you hear something?"]

["Is the mother world ready to become two-dimensional?"]

[The elder remained silent, perhaps tacitly acknowledging.]

An indescribable and unsettling feeling settled in everyone's hearts.

Everyone grasped the implications of these words!

It meant that the entire universe would transform into a painting without thickness!1
