Chapter 258: The Value of Life
"Curtis, are you crazy?"
Seeing Curtis preparing to self-destruct, Dibab was also startled.
In Dibab's knowledge, the only people, including Curtis, were afraid of death. This is not just the perception of Dibab, but the understanding of all people who are unique. For a civilization that values life, life is everything, and only by living can life be enjoyed.
Obviously, Curtis's self-destruction was not at all expected by Dibab.
You must know that Dibabu is the great elder of the Dumen clan and has an almost infinite lifespan. For an existence that can live forever, life is incomparably precious.
In fact, for any individual person, life is the most important thing.
In addition to the shock, Dibab was also enraged.
"Curtis, if you want to die, I will fulfill you!"
Dibabu rushed forward, he didn't want to kill Curtis, not to kill Curtis, to be precise, but to capture the original crystal before Curtis. Although he was shocked and extremely angry, Dibabu knew that Curtis had self-destructed to protect the original crystal from falling into his hands. Dibab doesn't care if Curtis lives or dies, and after capturing the original crystal, he will also kill Curtis. Only before that, he had to capture the Primordial Crystal, or at least the space debris that stored the Primordial Crystal, and he had to stop Curtis from self-destructing. Of course, Dibab is very confident in his abilities. Curtis's self-destruction was the Primal Ability, and it was not difficult for him at all.
It's just that when he got closer, Dibab realized that this was not the case at all.
Curtis's self-destruction is indeed the Primordial Energy, but not from his Primordial Converter, but from the Primordial Crystal, the Primordial Crystal that he keeps!
Although it is also the original energy, it is no different from the original energy from the original energy converter, but it is directly converted from the original crystal and has more original energy. It's so much that it's impossible to control. Not to mention that Dibabu is just a war king, even if he is the war emperor of the Silicon Charm Alliance, he can't control so many original powers.
By the time Dibab approached, the Origin had filled Curtis's body.
Sensing Curtis's instincts, Dibab realizes that he can't stop Curtis from destroying himself. And if you stay, you'll die with Curtis.
To put it simply, the energy that was converging on Curtis had exceeded the critical point of the explosion.
The original energy did not explode, but a part of it was controlled by Curtis. In other words, if Dibab makes a move against Curtis, causing this part of the Origin Energy to go out of control, then the Origin Energy that gathers on Curtis will explode. Even if Dibab doesn't deal with Curtis, the original energy that gathers on Curtis will explode after his control ability reaches the limit. No matter what Dibab does, the result cannot be changed.
If the explosion is only the original energy. It's nothing but for Dibab.
With the strength of a top-level war king, Dibabu is fully capable of dealing with an average-level Origin Energy explosion, and even if he can't stop it, he can withstand the destructive power generated by the explosion.
The problem is that it's not just the Instinct that is about to explode.
Apparently, when deciding to self-destruct, Curtis had this in mind.
Instead of using the Origin Energy from the Origin Converter, he made use of the Origin Crystal. It's just to deal with Dibab so that Dibab can't stop it.
Let's put it simply. Because the original energy comes from the original crystal, that is, the space debris that stores the original crystal has been opened, so after the original energy is out of control and the explosion occurs, the original crystal in the space debris will also be affected, and finally a large explosion will occur due to the loss of stability of the space debris.
Obviously, the explosion of the original crystal is not something that Dibab can handle.
Even a small number of protocrystals exploded due to loss of control. It is also enough to destroy the green star and form a primordial black hole capable of devouring entire star systems. The result can be imagined, even if Di Babu is a top war king, he has no ability to escape from the black hole of the original energy.
Now, it's not Curtis who is faced with a life-and-death decision. It's Dibab.
Dibab hesitated, but only slightly.
Although the rumored Emperor of War is an omnipotent existence, not to mention the Origin Black Hole, even if he falls into the real black hole, he can escape by controlling the space, and obtain the Origin Crystal, Di Babu may become an existence at the level of the Emperor of War, but Di Babu also knows that in order to become the Emperor of War, in addition to needing enough Primordial Crystals, it also takes enough time, and falling into the Origin Black Hole is only a moment's work.
Obviously, before falling into the Origin Energy Black Hole, he could not have the strength of the War Emperor.
As for what happened after falling into the Origin Black Hole, Dibabu didn't think about it at all.
Just as Curtis was approaching, Dibab gave up.
He had no choice but to give up.
Although becoming the Emperor of War is Dibabu's dream and his lifelong pursuit, only by living can he become the Emperor of War, and death is nothing.
Unique people care about life, and the war king of the Silicon Charm Alliance is no exception.
Quite simply, like the Dumen, the War King theoretically has an infinite lifespan, so no War King, including Dibabu, wants to die.
Choosing between life and death is not a difficult thing to do.
Of course, Dibab was also completely outraged.
"Curtis, do you think this is the end? I swear that no matter how much time it takes, I will kill all the Dumen and let the Dumen be completely destroyed! ”
Dropping this cruel remark, Dibab opened the spatial passage.
In fact, all Dibab can do is say this cruel sentence.
It's just that Curtis didn't hear it at all.
When he decided to self-destruct and die with Dibabu, Curtis's attention was focused on the original crystal, and he could no longer hear the outside world.
Actually, even if you can hear it, it doesn't mean anything.
Curtis knew very well that as long as he detonated the original energy converted from the original crystal, he would destroy the entire Green Star and kill the billions of unique people on the Green Star. It's just that it may not be able to kill Dibab. The only way to take out Dibab is to create an Origin Black Hole by exploding, and it has to be a sufficiently large Origin Black Hole. Only in this way can Di Babu be killed, and it will be possible for Yang Yi and them to leave Green Star alive.
For this reason, Curtis did not directly detonate the original energy.
In order to create a large enough primordial black hole, Curtis tried his best to control the primordial energy converted from the primordial crystal, so that the primordial crystal could be converted into as much primordial energy as possible.
It's just that Curtis still underestimated Dibab.
In Curtis's opinion, Dibab will make a last-ditch attempt and lose the chance to escape. As long as Dibab stays, regardless of whether he attacks Curtis or not, he will be permanently imprisoned in the Origin Black Hole because he did not get out in time and fall into the Origin Black Hole.
It's a pity that Dibabu is not stupid enough to die.
Before Dibab left, Curtis lost consciousness, to be precise, in order to control his original energy and not be able to perceive the outside world.
For him, everything that can be done and what should be done has been done.
Now, it's just time.
In the dark, Curtis was not thinking of the billions of unique people on the Green Star, nor his descendants, but the human soldier who made a promise to him, the person named Yang Yi.
For Curtis, at this moment, Yang Yi is his only hope.
Not just Curtis, but for the entire Dumen, Yang Yi is the only hope.
The destruction of the Green Star is inevitable, and billions of people are on the verge of extinction. Although there are still many unique people in other parts of the Southern Alpha Galaxy, only Yang Yi can reborn the unique clan, because the seeds of hope are in Yang Yi's hands.
This also made Curtis find it ironic.
For thousands of years, the Dumen have been hostile to humans, and even if they have not been at odds with humans, they have always regarded humans as evil beings that create instability. Especially after the Fifth Greenwich War, the Dumen have repeatedly proposed in the Galactic Alliance Council to impose comprehensive sanctions on the Human Federation and limit the military power of the Human Federation. But now, the hope of the rebirth and revival of the Dumen race is pinned on a human being.
Perhaps, he won't hold a grudge because of the past.
Perhaps, he is a man who keeps his promises.
At this point, Curtis's only feeling is remorse.
If he had known that this would be the end, he would have handed over the original crystal to Yang Yi before. It's very simple, Yang Yi is just a human soldier, even if he has the holy weapon of the Hidden Spirit Clan, he is only one person. Rebuilding the Dumen clan requires sufficient strength, and Yang Yi does not have such strength. Only by obtaining enough primordial crystals and making use of them can Yang Yi gain the strong strength to regenerate the Dumen clan.
It's a pity that before that, because of worry and suspicion, Curtis had reservations.
Without obtaining the original crystal, he couldn't get enough strength, did Yang Yi have the ability to regenerate the Dumen clan?
It's a pity that regret is useless at all.
Curtis can only be held responsible for his actions, and if the Dumen are exterminated because of this, he will be the last Great Elder in the history of the Dumen and the sinner of the Duke.
Perhaps, it's not that bad.
Perhaps, after death, everything is less important.
As the Primordial Crystal's Primordial Energy broke through the limits of Curtis's ability to control, the Primordial Energy that gathered on him began to be converted into other forms of energy.
Almost, it's time to end.
Curtis gave up his efforts, no longer controlled the Primal Instinct, and his whole body relaxed, and the consciousness that had remained in the situation became blurred.
At this point, Curtis also calmed down.
As the great elder of the unique clan, Curtis lived for thousands of years, but before that, his experience was uneventful, and there were no great deeds worthy of praise. It was only when he decided to self-destruct that Curtis suddenly understood that the meaning of life is not just to live.
It is undeniable that in peacetime, Dumen is a great builder and creator. It is precisely because of the unique people that many planets with harsh environments have become habitable. However, in times of war, there is a big problem with the values of the unique people, and instead of having any positive effect, it will have a negative impact.
Perhaps, there is nothing wrong with the concept of human beings.
At this moment, the exit of a spatial passage appeared, followed by a blue light shooting out.
However, Curtis didn't see that his body had been destroyed by the original energy, and what little consciousness he had left was about to die. (To be continued......)
