Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 391 Focus on the heart
The strange giant snake requested to communicate, which Hazabi initially wanted to refuse.

However, after the giant serpent served him a glass of berry-infused wine, he decided to listen to what the serpent had to say first.

"Are you surrendering?"

Hazabi held a glass, taking large gulps of energy from the strange alien planet, and the slightly sweet taste was a symbol of its extremely high energy content.

"If you are willing to surrender, the Sun Court will not kill you. With your skills, you could easily become the royal chef."

It's not exactly surrendering.

The giant snake shook its head.

"I originally planned to capture you alive, since you were lying on the ground. I could take advantage of your distraction to disarm you... But seeing how much you were enjoying your food just now, I suddenly thought of something else."

At this point, the giant snake looked at Hazabi.

What are your thoughts on this war?

"It's a life-and-death struggle."

Hazabi gave his answer without hesitation.

This is the answer shared by all the elves: it is a war of life and death, not even about hatred, but an objective reality.

When two stars are orbiting in the same orbit, it is destined that only one of them can survive, while the other will become a living sacrifice in this disaster. Of course, there is an even worse ending, which is that both of them ignore it.

The result of ignoring it would be a collision between the two stars, resulting in the deaths of everyone, with both sides losing completely and being destroyed in the disaster.

It's either a lose-lose situation or a win-win situation.

The Sun Court had already seen through all of this.

"So, surrender."

Savoring the wine in his mouth, Hazabi thought for a moment and then spoke.

"The Sun Court isn't that bloodthirsty. If you surrender, we'd be happy to accept your presence... especially someone like you with professional skills, you might even receive very good treatment."

"Is this your view on war, or is this what you all think?"

The giant snake pondered for a moment, then shook its head.

"Besides that, haven't you thought of anything else?"

"Something else?"

Hazabi was taken aback.

Isn't that what war is all about? What else could it be?
"Of course there are."

The giant snake nodded.

"For example... is this our war?"

"Is not it?"

Hazabi was increasingly puzzled; he couldn't quite understand what the giant snake was saying.

Since the two planets are about to collide, the inhabitants of those planets naturally want to ensure the peace of their own planet. In order to ensure the continued existence of their homeland, everything on the other planet naturally becomes an enemy.

Isn't this their war? Whose war could it be?

"This is a war between two planets."

It was at this moment that the giant snake's consciousness re-emerged.

"This is a war between two planets, two planets about to collide. Even if it's a matter of life and death, that's a matter between the two planets... As for our danger, it's just the aftershocks of the collision between the two planets, that's what will kill us." Saying this, the giant serpent looked into Hazabi's eyes once again.

"So, you still think this is our war?"

"This……"

Hazabi was taken aback.

It seems so, but it also seems not. At least according to what the giant serpent said, this war doesn't seem to have anything to do with them at all—the two planets are about to collide, and that's a matter for those two planets.

As for the creatures on this planet, facing such natural disasters, it seems that the best way is not to fight.

Instead, they withdrew.

Just like staying away from the tremors during an earthquake or the beach during a tsunami, the first reaction when encountering danger should be to move away.

"But the earth has given us..."

The elven warrior Hazabi wanted to argue his case, after all, the land of their home planet had truly bestowed power upon them, a power that allowed them to cope with the pursuit of aliens with ease, and even gave them the ability to suck blood from alien planets.

However, at that moment, the giant snake in front of them shook its head once again.

"You gained power, and then what? Who paid with their life?"

As it spoke, the giant snake raised its head.

In those cold, snake-like eyes, Hazabi even saw a hint of compassion.
"You gained power, but that's all. So many lives were sacrificed to use this power... And then what? What about the planet that gave you this power? It seems like nothing happened to it, and it even reaped the benefits of everything you created."

At this point, the giant snake lowered its head once again.

"Now, are you still going to say that this battle has anything to do with us?"

"This……"

Hazabi was speechless.

It seems that, if we really follow this line of thinking, this battle really has nothing to do with them—after all, even if they win this war, it won't benefit them, since by then all of them, the vanguard, will be dead, and even their descendants may be dead.

Only the land that bestowed power upon them, their home planet, was the one who received all the benefits.

With their help, their home planet was able to devour another planet, and even go further.

As for themselves...

"So, we're on the same side."

It was at this moment that the giant serpent's consciousness was once again introduced into the mind of the elven warrior Hazabi.

"The fact that we can eat the same food and drink the same wine shows that we can communicate with each other, just like now, with barbecue and wine, peaceful and friendly talks, instead of swords... In the end, we are facing the same things you are facing, we are under the same pressure, and we are facing the same crisis."

"It's just that I'm different from you. I don't want to die in vain. But now it seems that you're probably in a similar situation. You don't want to die either, at least not in such an unclear way. Even if you have to die, you want to die with value, not use your life to pave the way for something else..."

"That's what you think too, isn't it?"

Hazabi was speechless.

At this moment, Hazabi felt his entire head buzzing. He could clearly hear the venomous intent in the giant serpent's words, but he couldn't come up with any effective rebuttal.

The giant serpent's words seemed to be true; he really shouldn't have lost his life so needlessly.

With this in mind, Hazabi flew back.

Judging from his distraught appearance, he had clearly been thinking about many things.
