God-level choice: Starting Contract Thunder General

Tian Qingtian's face was frighteningly gloomy, his heart swirling with intense struggle and entanglement. He realized that time was running out and it was too late to contact his superiors. Furthermore, he was worried that his actions might expose his identity, and the evil lion would surely not sit idly by and wait for him to complete his instructions.

Tian Qingtian faced two difficult choices. The first was to forcibly interrupt Ye Ye's thoughts and temporarily imprison Ye Ye and the others to ensure overall stability. Although Tian Qingtian's level of cultivation was not high, only at the planetary level, he was capable of subduing Ye Ye and the others, especially after possessing Tian Qingtian, he was able to use some of the Zerg's secret techniques to fight.

However, another option also lingered in his mind. That was to temporarily agree to Ye Ye's plan, wait until Ye Ye had completely disrupted the situation, and then wait for an opportunity to act. Although doing so would involve certain risks, it could also bring unexpected gains.

Tian Qingtian was deeply conflicted. The first option seemed the safest; after all, he had enough strength to deal with Ye Ye and the others. However, a sinister premonition lingered in his mind, making him hesitant to act rashly. This premonition was like a warning, telling him that if he chose the first option, he would regret it.

Over the years of his undercover career, Tian Qingtian has experienced countless life-and-death trials, and his sixth sense has been tempered and strengthened in crisis after crisis. Now, he has absolute trust in his sixth sense, and it can even be said to be an instinctive reliance on it.

However, it was precisely because of this trust that Tian Qingtian couldn't help but be cautious when faced with the choice before him. He knew that if he made the wrong choice, the consequences could be disastrous.

Choosing the first option might avoid some potential risks, but it could also lead to missing out on important clues or opportunities. Choosing the second option, while seemingly more decisive and direct, would delay the clan's actions, and even if it had nothing to do with him, he would undoubtedly face undue punishment.

Even worse, if his inaction caused the clan's years of careful planning to come to nothing, his fate would be horrific. Such a tragic scene would surely bring tears to anyone's eyes.

Just when Tian Qingtian was feeling conflicted, suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded.

This is the reconnaissance alarm of the Cang Tian. Depending on the situation, the alarm sound will have three different variations.

The first alarm sounded relatively gently, meaning that an enemy starship had been detected at the limit of the Cang Tian's detection range. In this case, the enemy starship was still relatively far away and would not pose a direct threat to the Cang Tian for the time being.

The second alarm was significantly sharper, indicating that the enemy was very close to the Cang Tian. If some long-range attack weapon system was used at this time, it would be just within striking distance of the Cang Tian. This situation was undoubtedly more critical, requiring immediate countermeasures.

The third type of alarm sound is a sharp whistle. Once this sound is sounded, it means that the enemy has entered their visual range and can even be seen clearly by the naked eye through the observation window.

It's quite interesting to recall that when Ye Ye was on Blue Star, he was filled with curiosity and imagination about the interstellar wars between races across the universe. In his mind, interstellar wars should be a dazzling, intense, and brutal battle. Two groups of starships would engage in a fierce bombardment, one firing a photon torpedo, the other a pulse beam, back and forth, neither giving in. One starship would be shattered to pieces, and the other would be reduced to ash in the explosion.

However, reality was vastly different from his imagination. Once a large-scale interstellar war truly unfolded, neither side would likely ever come within visual range until its conclusion. Take the Cang Tian, ​​for example. Its long-range photon torpedoes could autonomously travel tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of kilometers. At such great distances, neither side could see the other with the naked eye, relying solely on phased array radar observation systems to monitor each other's movements.

Once they reached visual range, it meant the two sides were so close they could practically see each other. At this point, the conflict had reached an extremely intense level, perhaps even to the point of a fight to the death, like two ferocious beasts engaged in a life-and-death struggle, showing no mercy to either.

Throughout history, there have been many such cases where, when both sides have run out of ammunition, they would not hesitate to activate all their propulsion power and crash their starships directly into each other. Although this suicidal attack is extreme, it also shows the hatred and determination between the two sides.

Now, the alarm wasn't a piercing, high-pitched sound, but a gentle, low hum. This indicated that the Lion's starship was on its way, and very close. This meant that the two sides would likely engage in a thrilling battle in a short time.

Tian Qingtian didn't have time to think too much at this point. Various possible situations and consequences flashed through his mind. Although his sixth sense told him that something might be wrong, in this critical moment, he subconsciously chose to trust his reason rather than act on his intuition.

Because the responsibility of mission failure was too heavy, he simply could not bear it, nor did he dare to bear it. Therefore, no matter what, he must not let Ye Ye and others ruin the plan!

"I'll give you one last chance,"

Tian Qingtian suddenly spoke. His voice revealed a hint of determination and coldness, "

After destroying the attacking starship, immediately leave the examination area and head to the coordinates for the second assessment."

Just when Ye Ye thought that Tian Qingtian had agreed to his plan and was staring intently at the light spot on the screen in front of him, ready to implement his plan, Tian Qingtian's eerie voice came again like a ghost.

Ye Ye's heart suddenly tightened. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, then slowly turned his head and looked at Tian Qingtian with sharp eyes.

"What if I don't cherish this opportunity?"

Ye Ye's voice was cold and firm, without any hesitation or retreat.

However, before he could finish his words, Tian Qingtian's face seemed to be distorted by an invisible force, and instantly became hideous and terrifying.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying blood energy mixed with wisps of black air gushed out from Tian Qingtian's body like an enraged poisonous snake, and pounced towards Ye Ye and others with its fangs and claws.

The enormous pressure brought by this blood energy was like a heavy mountain, instantly enveloping Ye Ye and others, making it almost impossible to breathe.

You know, although Ye Ye and others can be said to have been through many battles, their cultivation has not yet broken through to the emperor level. In front of a strong man of Tian Qingtian's level, they are still just a group of "ordinary life forms."

Faced with such terrifying pressure, Ye Ye and the others felt as if their hearts were being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand. Their heart rates soared, as if they were about to burst out of their throats. The pressure Tian Qingtian brought to them far exceeded that of Olmid or Cudi. Perhaps only the scene when the Starworm itself appeared could be compared to it.

Tian Qingtian finally gave up hiding his true self. He thought to himself, these immature students are so ignorant, repeatedly going against his wishes. Do they really think he's still the same spy lurking on the Morning Star, afraid to even fart loudly? It's ridiculous!

This is a public star field, not a den of dragons and tigers, so why should Tian Qingtian be afraid? Thinking of this, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Tian Qingtian's mouth.

............

"Damn it, why isn't the other side moving?"

"Did they discover us? That's not right. Normally, they should either run away or pay the toll. Why are they stopping here?"

"Okay, stop guessing here, just go over and take a look."

The Chestnut Clan leader sitting in the driver's seat of the small shuttle looked a little impatient. He waved his hand, signaling his men behind him to shut up.

"Be smart, I feel like something is wrong."

Honestly, he had originally intended to turn a blind eye and let them go. After all, that was the final conclusion reached during their previous meeting. However, unexpectedly, after entering their sphere of influence, they deliberately chose to stop near Huanwei No. 3, a relatively stable planet with a relatively small asteroid belt.

This was truly a headache! A direct order had been issued from above, demanding they investigate the enemy's details as quickly as possible. The Chestnut Tribe leader couldn't afford to dawdle any longer, so he hurriedly brought his men down here.

After just a few dozen minutes of rapid flight, they were finally approaching their target. The shuttle they were on had undergone various special modifications, making it not only extremely fast but also highly maneuverable, far surpassing those bulky merchant ships. Besides its lack of support for warp speed and relatively weak attack capabilities, this shuttle had few significant drawbacks.

However, as time went on, a series of problems gradually surfaced. The detection system they relied on was too rudimentary, which made them all fall silent when they finally saw each other with their own eyes.

In this vast universe, there exists a unique place. It is surrounded by a belt of rubble. Illuminated by an unknown light, these rubbles drift like silver ribbons in the void. And in the center of this rubble belt, a bright asteroid rotates slowly.

A few kilometers in front of the asteroid, a massive, heavily armored destroyer sat silently anchored. Its presence seemed like a cosmic overlord, emanating an aura of majesty and inviolability. However, compared to this massive destroyer, the smaller shuttle anchored not far ahead seemed insignificant. Less than one-hundredth the size of the larger destroyer, it resembled a fragile toy, a stark contrast to the behemoth.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, the two stared at each other from a distance, and the world around them became unusually quiet. However, this quietness was not so for the parties involved.

"Lao Da... We seem a little dead."

The human from India spoke with a slightly trembling voice. He licked his dry lips, a look of deep helplessness on his face.

The white man's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, clearly disagreeing with the other party's statement. He took a deep breath and then spoke slowly.

"Take out the 'seemingly'."

Although his voice was steady, seemingly without a single ripple, it seemed to conceal an indescribable heaviness. It was a kind of helplessness and weariness that came from experiencing many vicissitudes of life, and it was deeply moving.

"There are no flags, but among the several nearby galaxies, only humans can build starships of this level. Therefore, the other party should have come from the Morning Star." His words were concise and clear, but revealed a deep insight into the situation.

"We can talk, who's up?"

The Chestnut Tribe leader's face revealed a look as if he had seen through the suffering of the world. He slowly turned his head and his gaze fell on Ah San and the white man. This glance seemed to contain endless and profound meaning, making it difficult to understand.

Ah San and the white man naturally understood the chestnut leader's intentions. As fellow humans, they might be able to communicate and avoid a potential conflict. However, faced with such a tense situation, they were also filled with conflict and anxiety.

As for escaping? The thought flashed through their minds, then was quickly dismissed. Their radar, though crude, was a blinding red light that told them they were firmly locked onto the fire control radar. Unless they could achieve warp speed, escaping their pursuit was a pipe dream.

The enemy only needs one torpedo to easily turn their starship into a ball of blazing fireworks, reducing them to ashes in an instant.

"Let me do it. I'm from Maple Leaf Country, which has close ties with the United States. If the other party is a starship from the United States Alliance, there shouldn't be any problem."

At this time, the white man volunteered. Although he knew that the possibility of the United States Alliance starship appearing here was very small, it was now a desperate fight and he had to give it a try anyway.
