Chapter 1 Silver Giant
The pitch-black night, like a black plague devouring everything, shrouded the canyons and jungles. Stars dotted the night sky, and a shadowy figure from the stars writhed among the woodlands and valleys, flashing a terrifying, enormous single eye in the darkness.
A magnificent arc, like a shooting star, streaked across the sky as a steel bird darted through the stars. A supersonic fighter jet broke through the clouds, its pilot locking onto a massive target nestled in the mountains, missiles poised for launch on their pylons.
The missile exploded with a deafening roar as it charged forward, like a long sword piercing the night sky.
In the next instant, flames almost engulfed the sky and earth, and the entire mountain began to emit a sharp, mournful cry. The scorching air pressure violently ravaged the desolate valley, as if it wanted to raze everything to the ground.
The intense heat, enough to melt steel, turned night into day. The dazzling flames briefly illuminated the colossal shadow in the darkness, revealing its enormous and bizarre form.
It looks like a starfish?
Indeed, it does resemble a giant starfish in appearance. Its five-pointed shape is supported by two lower points that function like legs, while the two on either side act as its hands. On its chest is an enormous eye, its pupil entwined with intricate, eerie filamentous structures. Looking directly at it evokes a chilling scream, as if staring into an abyss.
A giant starfish that is tens of meters tall.
The missile bombardment had no effect, only giving it a hot bath. But it seemed to be enraged, standing amidst a sea of fire, its huge eyes filled with anger as it stared at the raptors soaring through the sky.
Thousands of miles away, at the headquarters of the Advanced Superhuman Joint Research Group "Sky Eye" (ARGUS).
A short, plump Black woman stood in front of a huge splicing screen, looking at the giant starfish in the image that nonchalantly took the hit of a missile, and frowned slightly.
She is the commander of the Sky Eye Society, named Amanda Waller, a world-class agent and counter-intelligence master.
"Sir, it's not working."
“I understand,” Waller said coldly. “Proceed with the plan. Let’s see if these five-horned alien bastards can still be so arrogant in the face of white phosphorus.”
The giant starfish ravaging the mountains in the scene is undoubtedly an extraterrestrial visitor. The Sky Eye currently gives it the tentative codename "Starro," and its abilities and strength are still unknown. However, it seems that conventional weapons would have little effect on its body.
But one thing is certain: it is a huge threat, and it happens to fall under the jurisdiction of the "Sky Eye" agency.
However, before the commander's next order could be relayed, the communication channels from the front-line camps were filled with shouts, gunfire, and piercing screams.
"What's going on?" Amanda Waller ordered sharply. "Report!"
"The camp is under attack!"
The control room's view immediately switched to the surveillance cameras at the front-line camp. Through multiple surveillance perspectives, those in the control room seemed to be seeing hell.
Countless starfish suddenly invaded the camp, launching a surprise attack. They pounced from the shadows, each one landing precisely on the faces of the camp's soldiers.
Just like the classic horror movie character "facehugger".
All those who were tackled convulsed and stopped struggling within seconds. When they got up again, they had become lifeless puppets. The starfish holding their faces stared with eerie eyes and quickly drew their guns to attack their teammates who had not yet been attacked.
A large number of starfish seemed to suddenly fill the entire camp. In just a dozen seconds, they almost took over the entire stronghold, and even through the low-resolution surveillance cameras, one could feel the eerie and indescribable terror.
The scene startled Waller for a moment. But as a seasoned agent, she acted decisively: "Get me directly connected to Blackbird. I need to speak with the pilot."
Waller's eyebrows were almost furrowed.
She had been careless. She realized that the Sky Eye still lacked experience in dealing with extraterrestrial matters, and they should have considered all possibilities more comprehensively.
This starfish enemy clearly possesses the ability to reproduce a large number of small individuals, and has already secretly dispatched a large number of these individuals to infiltrate the front-line command camp, using mind-control-like abilities to overthrow it.
It is smarter and more terrifying than it appears.
"Yes Yes!"
The terrified messenger hurriedly complied.
The connection was established, and the frontline fighter pilots' communication lines were accessed. Waller coldly commanded, "This is Amanda Waller, Commander-in-Chief of SkyEye. The camp has been breached; I now give you direct orders."
Bomb and destroy the entire camp, leaving no survivors.
"Sir!" the communications officer exclaimed in surprise, "But our men..."
"The enemy possesses mind manipulation techniques unknown to us, and there is a high probability of them being disseminated on a large scale," Waller stated firmly. "I don't have time to argue with you. This is an order."
Another team member chimed in, "Sir!"
Waller frowned: "What now? I told you I don't have time."
"No, there's new information!" the team member shouted. "Radar detected a high-energy reaction; something just broke through the atmosphere over the Staro location area!"
"What!?"
Waller's heart seemed to skip a beat.
One giant alien starfish was already a huge headache for them, and now this has happened?
What's going on? Is today Interstellar Tourism Day, and Earth's scenic spots are offering 20% off tickets or something? Are aliens coming here in groups for sightseeing?
The next moment, target number two appeared in the frame.
In the most shocking and solemn way.
The deep black sky was ripped open, and a burning afterimage seemed to ignite the night, scattering the stars in terror, as if clearing the path for the approaching king.
It was a burning red sphere.
A gleaming, fiery red orb, trailing a burning tail, pierced the sky like a shooting star that had broken free of its orbit.
A towering pillar of fire slammed into the ground, the sound like tons of explosives detonating simultaneously. The exaggerated impact, accompanied by a devastating heatwave, swept across everything, crushing rocks and trees into dust.
Even the giant starfish couldn't help but take two steps back in the face of the earth-shattering impact, its big eyes staring in surprise and uncertainty at the individual that appeared in the rolling dust waves.
From the dust, a majestic yet indistinct silhouette slowly straightened up.
Does it look like a giant?
Everyone in the Sky Eye's monitoring center stared wide-eyed, astonished at the development that had completely exceeded their expectations.
Yes, it was indeed a giant.
Its towering body, with its slender form resembling a human torso and limbs, has oval, enormous eyes that glow with a pale golden light. Embedded in its chest is a crystalline, circular structure that shimmers with a deep blue hue, like the ocean.
He slowly stepped out of the massive crater created by the impact. His supple yet metallic body sliced through the smoke and emerged from the crater.
Starfish instinctively shrank back, as if sensing an inexplicable danger from this second extraterrestrial visitor.
And the facts that followed quickly proved that it did indeed have reason to be afraid.
The giant stopped and raised his right arm.
A faint blue light seemed to be shimmering within that arm.
Staro had already turned and started running away.
Above their heads, a large, blood-red character seemed to begin to flicker faintly.
Dangerous!
The giant's left hand drew a blue arc, swinging horizontally across his raised right arm.
It formed a cross-shaped hand gesture.
The dazzling blue light, like a flood bursting its banks, surged forth relentlessly, bursting through the air like a thunder dragon bursting straight out of thunderclouds!
The stars dimmed, and the earth lost its color in an instant. The unparalleled beam of light, like a dazzling sword, cleaved the sky and the earth, piercing the entire world.
There was no chance whatsoever; Staro was hit.
The giant starfish let out a mournful cry; its flesh, unscathed from the missile bombardment, melted almost instantly upon contact. Its enormous eye, in its final moments, was filled with terror and awe, as if it couldn't comprehend where such terrifying power could originate from this primitive, underdeveloped asteroid.
Boom boom boom! ! !
The starfish was instantly pulverized, and the shockwave lingered for a long time, flying all the way through the mountains behind it. Like a series of dense mountain explosions, the mountain peaks were blasted through one after another, and rocks and trees were all evaporated and dissipated in the destructive light.
The sword, unstoppable and piercing through everything, surged relentlessly into the night and flew beyond the horizon.
In an instant, the starfish monster vanished.
The giant remained standing with his arms crossed, facing a massive breach in the mountain. Blue arcs of electricity crackled in the air for miles around, the intense heat distorting the very fabric of space.
Kill instantly with one hit.
The giant spread his arms wide, standing tall on the earth beneath a starry sky filled with smoke and dust.
Like a god whose salvation and destruction are intertwined.
The next moment, both his feet left the ground.
It left behind a sonic boom, rose into the air for a moment, broke the sound barrier, and disappeared into the night.
The monitoring center of FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope) remained silent for a long time.
In fact, since its establishment, FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope) has only encountered a handful of real extraterrestrial events. Most of the extraterrestrial encounters they have experienced so far have been strange objects from outer space or long-dead extraterrestrial specimens.
This is the first time in the true sense that we have had contact with extraterrestrials.
"Ultra-high energy particle readings"
Someone reported in a dry voice.
"The air was transformed into plasma. That giant used some kind of thermal beam as a weapon, the power and intensity of which are immeasurable."
A moment later, someone reported, "The target has disappeared from the radar, sir. We...we've lost track of it."
Amanda Waller's expression shifted several times.
"All the facehugger-like starfish-like creatures in the camp have been confirmed eliminated," someone else said. "It looks like the one just destroyed by the giant was the mother. With the mother gone, the rest just went their own way."
"It looks like the crisis is over, sir."
"Release?" Amanda Waller said coldly. "This is just the beginning."
