Chapter 128
Although Rong Yuan looked calm and composed, he was actually a little dazed at this moment.
[Is that so? That guy... doesn't like reading, adventure, or fighting? ]
[When did he have a wife...a son...and a daughter? ]
Semillian's mother was from Landia. Landia's strength was not only reflected in their national strength, but also in their bloodline, which was stronger than most races. Semillian's appearance looked almost the same as that of a pure Landian, with only a little bit of Barabi's shadow visible in some subtle places.
That familiar similarity touched Rong Yuan's memory. Even though he knew that Semillian had participated in several operations against him when he was in the Landia Empire and had made frequent small moves after boarding the ship, he never made a decision to deal with Semillian.
However, before he suddenly asked that question just now , Rong Yuan had never really thought that Semillian and Barabi had any relationship.
Everyone in the Feiyan team actually had no relatives or friends - at least that was what Rong Yuan had known before. Because they were like rootless duckweed, always wandering between different galaxies, and many places and friends were forever said goodbye after a wave. When they passed by that place again, it might have been decades later.
When traveling between the stars, the time perspectives of people on the spacecraft and people on the ground are sometimes very different. It's okay if you don't have a family, but if you have a family, it would be too cruel to your family. Therefore, once the people on Rongyuan's spacecraft have concerns on the ground, they will leave.
-Perhaps this is why Barabi concealed from them the fact that he had a family.
Semillian complained in tears:
"My mother... was originally weak, and fainted when she heard the supernova explode inside the Pillar of Creation. Afterwards... I couldn't contact my father no matter what. I finally got in touch with a distant relative who was the guard of Princess Serinda, and then I learned... I learned that the Feiyan Team was at the center of the Pillar of Creation when the accident happened!"
"She barely managed to hold on for two months before she passed away. In her last days, she was still thinking about my father... Later, my sister died too... All my family members died, leaving only me... I could have had a happy family, but now I have nothing! All this is because of you! If you hadn't insisted on exploring the Star Bridge... If it weren't for you, my father wouldn't have left us... The most hateful thing is that he is dead! They are all dead! Why are you still alive!"
Semillian roared: "What right do you have to live in this world!"
Rong Yuan stared at him for a moment, and said calmly: "So, you secretly spread a lot of information about me, intending to let the most powerful people in the empire know how dangerous the power I hold is; you induced the people around Serinda, Isli and Amirida to persuade my friends to doubt me and be hostile to me, in order to make me deserted by everyone. You participated in the fight of the Dumont family because you knew that the Dumont family controlled the power hidden in the dark of the Landia Empire, and you wanted to control this power with the identity of Lor; when you met me in Rig Hill, you were ecstatic, and from that time on, you decided not to hide yourself behind the scenes anymore, but wanted to get close to me and take revenge yourself... right?"
"Haha, I just regret that I don't have enough strength to kill you! But I tell you, Rong Yuan, unless you are right here, right now! You will kill me!"
"Otherwise, sooner or later, I will make sure you die without a burial place! Even if we perish together, I will drag you into hell!"
Semillian's voice seemed to be soaked with venom in every word he spoke.
"And Luo Er and Mu Xiaohu... You care about those two little brats, right? And the little thing you hid on your body, what's her name? She's a dwarf, right? This kind of pet is very popular on the black market!"
"And that Lin Qingsi, he is not completely unrelated to you, right?"
"As long as I live, I won't let them have an easy time!"
"So, if you want to protect them, you have no choice but to kill me. Otherwise, one day, those three little guys will die in my hands."
"You killed Barabi, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to kill his son yourself?"
"Come and kill me!"
"Get started!"
Semillian, with a ferocious look and a hoarse roar, suddenly froze for a moment, and then his face became more distorted.
Because he saw Rong Yuan suddenly smiled gently.
I smiled as if I was watching a boring drama.
"You don't have to wait until someday in the future. I'll give you this opportunity now." Rong Yuan patted the thing covered by the old cloth beside him and said, "This is what you have been looking for, the Star Destroyer Cannon."
"I think you have guessed it. I am the god in the Zhongwu Star legend who helped the human race rise. Eighty years ago... oh, according to the time of Zhongwu Star, it was about two hundred and seventy years ago. I was once seriously injured by this thing and almost died."
"If we fire a cannon in such a confined space underground, you and I will have no chance of survival. Xiaohu , Lor, Alpha, and everyone else on the ground will also suffer heavy casualties. This way, you will have completed all your revenge at once. It's simple, convenient, and quick."
"I'll just have to trouble you to die with me."
"How about it? Want to try it?"
Semillian glanced quickly at the old cloth, his heart starting to pound. He walked over quickly, and seeing that Rong Yuan had no intention of stopping him, he reached out and grabbed it, paused, and then lifted it up!
A blue and gray metal machine appeared before my eyes.
It was not even high enough to reach Semillian's chest. It was three or four meters long and actually a bit chubby overall. Even most of the barrel was hidden inside, with only a small section less than a foot exposed. There was a manual operating panel on the side, which was actually in the shape of a cartoon cat's paw, quite childish. Each button and lever had an easy-to-understand schematic diagram, so that even if you couldn't understand the text next to it, you could still know how to operate it.
The angle of the cannon barrel cannot be adjusted. This is because when the thing is intact, it should be suspended in space, and the whole fuselage is controlled by intelligent AI remote control to aim. The manual operation panel is a safety insurance setting, which is a backup setting for attacking when the AI is damaged in some strong electromagnetic environment or hijacked by hackers.
From the appearance, this thing is more like a slightly larger children's toy than a star destroyer cannon that can destroy cities and countries. However, the sophisticated energy storage device at the muzzle and the warning symbols on the fuselage show that this big guy is not as harmless as it looks.
Semillian did not move closer, but instead subconsciously took a step back, his body trembling slightly and his face gloomy.
Rong Yuan looked at him, his expression remaining calm.
Suddenly, Semillian looked at Rong Yuan as if he had caught something, and sneered, "What a good plan! You have the ability to move through space, you can leave at the moment of attack, and even take Lor and the others to the other side of the planet. The only one who will die is me! If I commit suicide, you don't have to bear the guilt towards my father, right?"
"I won't leave." Rong Yuan said. He didn't need to add any extra assurances. His words were power, and he seemed to have the natural ability to convince people.
"I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere. You should know that I always keep my word."
Semillian gritted his teeth. Even if he hated the man in front of him so much that he wanted to kill him, he couldn't say against his will that Rong Yuan was a mean person who would go back on his word.
So... we die together...?
He approached the star destroyer, put his hand on the operating panel, and when he was about to press down, his fingers trembled slightly.
With just three steps, he could realize his long-cherished wish.
First, turn on the safety switch.
Second, confirm the attack level.
Third, press the start button.
Then, boom, there will be nothing.
...Is it really necessary...to do this?
He thought he had been prepared for a long time... He could really sacrifice his life for the cause of killing Rong Yuan, he had always thought so.
But in Semillian's imagination, either Rong Yuan was a cold-blooded, mean-spirited man, and he would expose his true face like a righteous warrior, and then Rong Yuan, who was so angry that he was ashamed, would brutally kill him and bear another heavy sin;
Or maybe Rong Yuan would feel so ashamed during his questioning that he would confess his sins in tears and then wait to be killed, while Semillian would avenge his father, mother, sister and himself.
Frankly speaking, in his expectation, the latter scenario was more likely. Semillian even imagined that if Rong Yuan's attitude of repentance was sincere and sad enough, he could spare his life.
He subconsciously felt that the first possibility was very small. The person his father worshipped as a god and followed until death could not be that kind of person.
But no matter what, Semillian had never imagined such a situation - Rong Yuan had no repentance, no guilt, no tears, and even no excuse, and was going to die with him.
[How...how could this happen?]
】
Semillian lowered and raised his hand several times, shaking violently.
He felt that he had made a fool of himself by Rong Yuan, and was about to start on impulse, but then he shuddered all over and the great fear stopped him abruptly.
[Maybe he was lying to me? Yes, he must have been lying to me. How could a person like him die so easily? This is a scam!]
[What if it's true? He doesn't seem like a coward. What if... I... am really going to die? So sudden, so inexplicable...]
It was as if there were hundreds of people quarreling in Semillian's mind, some were timid, some were impulsive, some were violent, some were submissive, and some were full of resentment. He was struggling in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a new hatred towards Rong Yuan - even if he killed him cleanly, it would be better than letting him struggle with his conscience here.
Imagine pressing the start button --
Huge amounts of energy were accumulated at the muzzle, and then fired! Along with the dazzling white light, the ultra-high temperature plasma jetted out, and they who were close at hand were the first to bear the brunt! The skin would be vaporized in an instant, and the muscles would not last for two seconds, only the bones could hold on for a little longer. However, there are some theories that in such sudden disasters, human consciousness can be maintained for much longer than imagined.
So, about a second or two after pressing the button, he would turn into a skeleton wailing and screaming in the hot air flow that was hot enough to melt steel, watching his body burn to ashes.
Semillian stared at the buttons on the control panel. At this moment, those cute little cat paws in his eyes had turned into devil claws stretched out from hell, constantly pulling him closer... closer...
Semillian suddenly realized that his hand had involuntarily turned on the safety switch, a red light lit up, and he didn't know when his body had been tightly pressed against the star destroyer, as if he wanted to merge with the destructive energy inside.
"ah!"
Semillian yelled, stepped back in panic, then tripped over something and fell down.
Then he heard a sigh so light that it seemed like an illusion, and then he lost consciousness.
