You can still decompile it. I am not aware of any technologies that
completely prevent decompilation. It is just harder to make sense of the
decompiled code when it has been obfuscated.

The Zelix home page has a nice short "here's what you get" look at what
decompiled code looks like if you wish to understand how it works:

Many obfuscators just change the symbols (variable, method, class names)
to short, meaningless strings. Zelix appears to also obfuscate the
structure by adding confusing labels and gotos.
