Chapter 1159: The Two Paths Before the Dark Energy Forces
However, arguing won't change anything now. The situation has escalated to this point, and no amount of arguing will alter the plan.
After a heated argument, the Dark Energy beings' voices quieted down. However, their minds were still in turmoil turmoil, like a swarm of flies buzzing in chaos.
Ying Huan's mind was also in turmoil distress.
He had lived for nearly 2000 years, and this was the first time facing such a great crisis! My insignificant life will be decided here!
But even with their minds in turmoil, they must force themselves to calm down and think of a way out. Giving up until the last moment is not an option.
After racking their brains for a long time, Ying Huan spoke with a slightly trembling voice to all the Dark Energy beings, "Everyone, since the situation has developed to this point, and any further complaints will not change anything.
Dax has already given us the reason, and we will not let go of this piece of meat. We have so many powerful allies, and if we can devour them, we can save thousands of years of hard training!
"Ah!"
"Yes!"
"Indeed, we will not let go of this."
The scene was filled with sighs and groans.
The Dark energy beings were not fools, and they knew very well that if they were in Dax's position, they would do the same thing without hesitation.
Thinking of surrendering to gain a path was not an option at all.
Among the Dark Energy beings, a powerful one asked, "Sir, I have thought for so long, do you have any good ideas?"
All eyes turned to Ying Huan, gathering around him.
We all knew Huan was intelligent, now is the time for bold words, isn't it?
Ying Huan, not slowing down, used the tip of his feather to draw in the sky, "in front of us, there are only two paths.
The first path, while the Dark Energy army has not moved far, think of connecting with them and launching a combined attack on Dax!
"This... is difficult, isn't it?"
Hearing Ying Huan say this, many of the Dark Energy beings drew in a sharp breath.
To forcefully kill a planetary existence! Of course, in the history of the Dark Silver, there was no lack of over a hundred powerful beings joining to kill a planetary existence.
But such examples were not many, and planetary existence can be destroyed if they engage in reckless battles, which would destroy the entire Skru planet, making their subsequent battles very difficult.
"Killing Dax, is this even possible?"
"I don't think so, is it?"
Some beings expressed doubts.
But some beings at the peak stood out, sharing their opinions.
The first to stand out was a Dark Silver named "Eugene."
Eugene was at the peak of power, and among the Dark Energy beings, his strength was second only to Ying Huan.
Eugene, hugging his arm, frowned, "You, you just said joining the Dark Silver army to kill Dax, this idea also occurred to me.
But I don't think this is easy to achieve. Wanting to kill Dax, we and the Dark Silver army must at least pay half the cost, that is, at least 150 powerful beings must die for it to be possible to eliminate Dax.
Dax turned his head to look at all the Dark Energy beings, "but I think the morale of our Dark Energy forces must be higher. Without such a sacrifice, even a small fraction of the team will collapse! We cannot have such a strong will for continuous battle!"
"..." The Dark Energy beings did not speak, but everyone agreed with Eugene's point of view.
The Dark Energy Corps are a bunch of cowards. These so-called god-level beings are all willing to do anything for their own benefit, and they’re usually the ones most afraid of death.
They wouldn’t dare risk even a one-in-twenty chance of dying, let alone a fifty percent death rate, unless they were backed into a corner with no other options.
“We’re not the only ones, right? The Holy Silver Army is probably in the same boat,” one of the god-level beings in the crowd said. “The Holy Silver Army isn’t willing to make too many sacrifices either.
While they were once fierce and valiant, that was because the Hymn of the Holy Silver would preserve their souls when they died, and they would go to great lengths to restore their physical bodies.
But now that the Hymn has been completely destroyed, the Holy Silver Army has lost its foundation. How can they still have the fighting spirit and the courage to sacrifice themselves?”
“So, I also think this plan won’t work. At the very least, the chances of success are slim.”
“Right, you’re absolutely correct.”
“I agree with you.”
“Exactly, it’s hard to get everyone to work together, and no one is willing to sacrifice themselves.”
Many of the god-level beings voiced their agreement.
However, when they heard this, the luminous locust Cyd shook its head. It looked at Eugene and said, “Eugene, the sacrifice isn’t as great as you make it out to be.
If Dalak were at full strength, then our chances of victory would indeed be slim, and we might need to sacrifice about half of our people. But the question is— is Dalak really at full strength? How much of its power can it actually use right now?”
The crowd of Dark Energy Corps god-level beings immediately fell silent. They quickly understood what Cyd was getting at.
That’s right! Dalak isn’t at full strength!
It’s hard to say exactly how much power it can actually wield!
While Dalak did display a formidable presence earlier, which frightened many of the god-level beings, there’s a possibility that it’s just a paper tiger.
When Dalak emerged from the wave space, it was in a terrible state, which is why it crashed into the planet’s surface—a highly embarrassing move in the entire planetary realm.
So, how much of its strength has it recovered? How much can it actually use?
Many eyes turned to Cyd, waiting for it to continue.
Cyd didn’t disappoint and immediately added, “Based on my assessment, Dalak is definitely not at its peak strength and can’t use all of its power. If we join forces with the Holy Silver Army, the number of sacrifices could be reduced to around 30%.
Of course, this is just an alternative plan. Whether or not we execute it is up to everyone’s decision.”
“True, it’s just an alternative plan.”
At this point, one of the god-level beings remembered that Cyd had mentioned two options and immediately asked, “So, Lord Cyd, what is the second option?”
Cyd didn’t keep them in suspense and answered right away, “The second option, of course, is to run.
We can flee to the outer edges of the star system, running as far as we can. Whether Dalak will catch up and consume us in the future will be entirely up to luck.”
“Run?” Many of the god-level beings furrowed their brows.
Cyd’s point was valid. They had two choices: fight or flee.
But which one should they choose?
Fighting Dalak might result in a 30% to 50% sacrifice, but fleeing wouldn’t guarantee a lower sacrifice rate either.
Would they be willing to take a chance in battle, or leave their fate to luck?
