Chapter 1160: A Vote to Decide
"This is a critical decision. Let's decide by vote."
Yinghuang Xide glanced at the direction the Holy Silver army had departed and said, "I'll send a message to the Holy Silver army first, asking them to wait.
We will have ten minutes to vote. Please use this time to think carefully and make your choice wisely."
With that, Yinghuang Xide used his psychic power to send a message to the Holy Silver army.
Bruce, the temporary commander of the Holy Silver fleet, understood the importance of the Dark Energy forces' vote. Upon receiving the message, he immediately ordered the fleet to slow down and wait for the results of the vote.
The god-level members of the Dark Energy forces were now frowning.
While they generally agreed with Yinghuang Xide's suggestion to decide by vote, the issue was that ten minutes was far too short.
This was a monumental decision, and such a brief time was insufficient to make a well-considered choice.
However, ten minutes was indeed a reasonable timeframe. The Holy Silver army would not be willing to wait too long, so a quick decision was necessary.
Thus, no one among the god-levels objected to Xide's proposal, nor did they complain about the tight time limit. Everyone was racking their brains to decide how to vote.
If they chose to "join forces with the Holy Silver army and fight Dalak to the death," there would likely be a 30% to 50% casualty rate among the god-levels.
If they chose to flee, the number of god-levels who would die would not be fewer but more!
If they tried to escape, as long as they didn't leave the star system, they would most likely fall into Dalak's hands.
In all likelihood, at least 60% to 70% of the god-levels would perish!
If survival probability was the only factor, then "joining forces to fight" was clearly the better option.
However, fleeing had a significant advantage: it allowed each individual to rely on their own abilities without being held back by weaker teammates.
Some god-levels were more capable, either because of their strength, their ability to flee, or the superior performance of their warships. They had a good chance of escaping Dalak's pursuit.
In contrast, joining forces to fight required coordination and a willingness to make sacrifices. If everyone was afraid to die, nothing would get done.
Thus, every god-level of the Dark Energy forces was deeply conflicted, weighing the pros and cons and struggling to decide which path to take.
There were, of course, exceptions. For instance, the six Dark Thunder Dragons and their kin, who were god-levels.
These six did not need to think about their choice. They only needed to wait for Dalak to emerge from seclusion and then immediately gather around him.
Their current priority was to minimize their presence and avoid drawing attention from the other god-levels. Sneaking away unnoticed would be ideal.
However, they still needed to vote. Not voting would only draw more attention.
The six Dark Thunder Dragon god-levels briefly communicated telepathically and quickly decided to vote for the "flee" option.
If the other Dark Energy god-levels all fled, they would naturally be safe as well.
...
The ten minutes passed in a flash.
When the time was up, Yinghuang Xide instructed the fleet's AI to reopen the voting panel, presenting the two options once again.
However, before the voting began, he solemnly said, "Everyone, this decision is crucial. Please make your choice carefully!
And after the vote, regardless of the outcome, I hope everyone will follow the majority decision.
Only by reaching a consensus can we maximize our chances of survival. Otherwise, we will all be losers!"
