Those who reincarnate must die.

As a massive meteorite struck, a colossal crater was blasted into the planet's surface. The immense kinetic energy whipped up billions of tons of dust, which billowed into the atmosphere, blotting out the sun. A colossal tsunami swept across the planet, and it wouldn't be long before it had swept across the entire surface three times over. Both the planet's native species and the alien forces that had invaded to seize its resources would suffer devastating blows…

Zhang Lang watched this scene coldly from space. He was the one who caused this series of disasters, and this was already the umpteenth planet he had destroyed.

If this planet has already nurtured its own civilization and has native intelligent life, Zhang Lang might feel pity and reluctance when creating the disaster, and might even consider sparing this planet and instead conquering other uncivilized lands.

But in reality, all the creatures on this planet that can think are foreign invaders...

In the era of space colonization, power is the only measure of strength. For the sake of resources, advanced civilizations will not hesitate to exterminate inferior civilizations and transform their planets into environments more suitable for their own survival.

Such bloody colonization is happening all over the universe at any time.

Zhang Lang believed that star sectors like the Proon Sector, which are extremely rich in resources and have a large number of habitable planets, must have already given rise to their own civilizations, and possibly more than one!

However, he has now traveled through more than a dozen star systems and seen hundreds of planets, but he has not seen a single planet with any native inhabitants.

Clearly, upon arriving in this star sector, the colonists immediately wiped out all the native civilizations.

Since we are all invaders, there is no morality to speak of. If you can exterminate others, I can exterminate you too.

Zhang Lang snorted coldly, activated the Void Moon Stepping Technique, and left the star system.

According to the plan, human troops will arrive two days later to begin the occupation. At that time, humanity will control more than one hundred planets, and Zhang Lang's main mission will be completed.

Normally, the next step is to hold onto the territories we have already acquired, strengthen our construction and defense, and survive the remaining two months.

To be honest, compared to the strategy of first occupying a star system, developing quietly for a few months, and then swiftly conquering a large number of planets, Zhang Lang's chosen tactic of first occupying and then defending is much more difficult.

It's not just a matter of not having enough military strength and resources to expand territory in the early stages; the key issue is that occupying a large amount of territory will inevitably cause a counterattack from other civilizations. If the battle lines are stretched too long, defense will be extremely difficult.

Develop first, then occupy. From a mission perspective, there's no such concern. Once completed, Zhang Lang will leave soon afterward, and subsequent defense is no longer a problem for him.

The current situation is that each of the dozen or so star systems occupied by humans is potentially vulnerable to attack. Relying solely on the unstable occupation status of the human expeditionary force, it will be difficult to defend the territory. In the end, they will have to run around constantly, exhausted from defense.

However, Zhang Lang was quite happy with this arrangement.

Because there are so many enemies this time—eight races, each with dozens to hundreds of unit types on average—the kill rewards alone are astronomical. Moreover, hidden quests and other missions may trigger at any time during battle, meaning the points that can be earned are practically endless!

What Zhang Lang needs most right now is a good score!

Enemies, the more the merrier, we'll welcome them all!

Moreover, he did not intend to passively wait to be beaten.

The best defense is a good offense!

With his plans clearly in mind, Zhang Lang arrived at the star path of this star system and plunged in.

The next target is the Blue Qiong Galaxy, which is currently occupied by the Titans and is not at war with any other races.

Speaking of the Titans, Zhang Lang has been here for two months, and the only people he hasn't come into contact with are the Titans. There is very little information about them.

Currently, all that is known is that they are considered the most powerful race in the universe in terms of individual strength, and their numbers are extremely small. Their civilization consists of a small number of Titans leading a large number of weaker races. These weaker races, seeking protection, are subservient to the Titans, and their expansionist activities are usually carried out by these numerous subordinate races. Unless there are major problems, the Titans will not intervene.

Zhang Lang had only ever encountered these peripheral minor races before. They were numerous and diverse, and even the languages ​​and technologies of different races were not standardized. Overall, they seemed very disorganized. If it weren't for the legendary Titans overseeing them, compared to the other seven major powers, they would be nothing more than a disorganized mess.

Therefore, Zhang Lang is now quite interested in the Titans, who can unite this rabble and are powerful enough to intimidate other races.

Now that the mission has been accomplished, I can go and meet them.

Zhang Lang found himself in a spacetime turbulence, advancing along the star path.

This star path is so long... With a hint of doubt in his heart, Zhang Lang accelerated again. He could clearly feel the resistance brought about by the distortion of spacetime.

How much longer?

Just as Zhang Lang was wondering, a light suddenly flashed in front of him.

He was startled and immediately tried to slow down, but it was too late; he crashed headfirst into the ball of light.

"What's going on...?"

The moment he entered the ball of light, Zhang Lang felt the surrounding turbulence vanish instantly. When he opened his eyes and looked around, he found himself in complete darkness.

There was no spacetime turbulence, and no starlight could be seen; it was just a vast, empty expanse of absolute darkness, as if nothing existed.

"Where am I?" Zhang Lang became alert, his face showing confusion.

"Welcome to my domain." Suddenly, a voice echoed from the empty space. To be honest, Zhang Lang wasn't sure if it was a voice, because the space was so vast that there was no medium to transmit sound.

"What are you?" Zhang Lang asked back.

"I am the opponent you are about to face... that's what you should call me... Titan!"

"The Titans?" Zhang Lang frowned. "Did you know I was coming? Did you set a trap?"

"I've been watching you for a long time... Wherever you go, you bring destruction. Your next target is my territory, so why don't we change battlefields? Here, no matter how fiercely we fight, it won't affect the material world outside."

"Here? Where is this?" Zhang Lang was even more confused.

"This is the warp," the Titan replied. "It exists separately from the material world; you can think of it as a shadow of the world. The starpaths you usually travel on are the connection between the warp and the material world, but this is a deeper level of space."

"Only powerful individuals can reach the depths of the warp. As far as I know, only we Titans were able to enter before. And now, you'll be one of them."

"Looks like this wasn't a trap," Zhang Lang laughed. "You've chosen a battlefield for me."

"You can understand it this way," Titan laughed. "This warp was created by me. Only by defeating me will the exit appear. Otherwise, you'll be trapped here."

"Then let's not waste any more time!" Zhang Lang rubbed his hands together, eager to get started. "Show yourselves!"

"Show yourself?" Titan chuckled. "I've been right in front of you all along."

Zhang Lang frowned, suddenly realizing something, and with a push of his feet, he retreated rapidly backward.

After he retreated a sufficient distance, the darkness was finally broken... In the far distance ahead, there was a beam of light, and illuminated by that light was a huge humanoid projection.

It turned out that this was not a completely dark space; it was just that all the light had been blocked by that huge figure.

That was a giant, the size of a planet!

Is this Titan?
