The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2264, ‘Death’

“I… am not dead? No… I am already dead.” A figure stood up in the darkness.

She slowly broke free from the corpses that were pressing on her, and looked around in a daze.

It was almost completely dark here, with only a light source that looked like a street lamp at least 300 meters away, which became the only light here.

Under the dim light, she could see that the place where she was at the moment was a small hill of countless corpses. There were probably thousands of corpses piled here alone!

These corpses were all Rak Ghouls! And because of their special structure, their corpses did not decay, but gradually shrank over time. The air was filled with a foul smell, and there were countless germs and spores floating in it. Ordinary people would be infected immediately if they just breathed here, and then died in a short time and were assimilated into a member of the Rak Ghouls.

But for her, it didn't matter at all. Because she was already a dead person...

She looked around blankly, and then walked towards the direction of the street lamp. This is a very wide street, surrounded by various buildings, most of which have been damaged and collapsed, but it can still be seen that this was once a magnificent city.

I don’t know how long it has been, but the power supply of the city’s fusion core has not been completely interrupted, so there is still some lighting in the city.

The figure staggered forward, and she almost instinctively walked along the street. I don’t know how long she walked, and she was cut off by a cliff in front of her. In the middle of the cliff was a warship that had been rusted to the point where its shape was almost unrecognizable. This huge deep pit should have been smashed by this warship.

Some sunlight sprinkled from above the deep pit. It was at least 300 meters below, and the sunlight was very weak, but it still brought a little warmth.

And... the breath of life.

Standing in the sun, the figure seemed to have recovered. She looked up at the sky that was less than the size of a coin and muttered to herself: "I, who am I... I am..."

She raised her hand to touch her face, but it was cold. It was a mask, a cold mask.

Memories began to gradually emerge in her chaotic brain. She fumbled and took out a small storage device from her chest. She pressed the button to open it. A sinister half-body projection emerged in the red projection.

[Execution, Order 66.]

Incredibly strong hatred surged from the bottom of her heart. Her eyes turned red. Her anger triggered the rampage of the dark side! She raised her head and screamed, "Anakin!!! Sidious!!!!"

The terrible and sharp roar echoed in the deadly dungeon. In the darkness, countless eyes looked over here. They were all countless Rak Ghouls. How many were there? Ten thousand? One hundred thousand? Or ten million, one hundred million?

However, these Rak Ghouls did not pounce on her and tear her apart. Were they afraid of being killed, or did they think she was just the same kind? No one knew.

In the terrifying roar, there was a roar of the engine. Only a sheath-class shuttle was seen landing from above the deep pit and hovering steadily in front of her.

The hatch opened, and two B-1 combat robots came down one on the left and one on the right, making way.

The figure hesitated for two seconds, then stepped onto the spaceship.

The shuttle restarted and soon disappeared outside the deep pit, and the underground city returned to silence again.

Splash... In the bathroom of the shuttle, the shower sprinkled warm water, washing away the filth on her body, and the flushed water was directly discharged outside the spaceship, because in this sewage, there was also the flesh and blood of the Rak ghouls.

She opened her eyes, looked through the mirror, looked at the pale skin color and the thin figure, raised her hand and gently stroked it. It was cold and stiff to the touch, and even warm water could not bring warmth.

Who am I?

Adi-Gallia? One of the Jedi Council? Jedi Master? No, she is dead... Now I am called "Death"!

Wiping off the mist on the mirror, the incomplete mask gradually emerged. This is a mask covering the entire face. The mask is an expressionless woman. Although her appearance is beautiful, the gray color makes the mask look like a corpse. The damaged and incomplete mask also makes it look a little hideous.

That's right, death!

She took a deep breath, and the air flowed through her rotten lungs. The oxygen molecules that nourish life did not bring any life, but made her more sober.

Because of the deep hatred, she transcended life and death and became death!

She was killed by Darth Malthael a long time ago and resurrected as a puppet. But at that time, Darth Malthael's death force was not great, so she gradually corrupted and her mind gradually became unclear.

If she continued, she would only become a walking corpse. But she was unwilling! Especially after seeing through Darth Sidious's conspiracy, she was even more unwilling! She vowed to make Darth Sidious and Anakin Skywalker, who betrayed the Jedi Knights, pay the price!

For this, under the instruction of Darth Malthael, she took the initiative to come to the underground city of Taris planet and kept killing in this place full of death. Finally, she succeeded!

Amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, she stood up again. She lost her life, but gained the power of revenge!

However, before she could start her revenge, Darth Malthael's battle with Black Star, the Supreme Lord of Grisk's hegemony, triggered a rift in the void, and he was captured by Tai Ren. Mortis.

Mortis is a place between reality and illusion. If Darth Malthael goes there, it is equivalent to going to another universe. Therefore, all the puppets that relied on his power to survive were completely dead at the first opportunity.

Among them, she, Adi Gallia, died. The Dark Jedi who were used by the Archon-class aircraft carriers to control drones all died at the same time.

After that, Darth Malthael returned from Mortis, the Force of Death returned to the universe, and those dark Jedi were resurrected. However, after they were resurrected for the second time, they were obviously far less intelligent than before. They had just turned into a body with the power of the dark side. Therefore, these 'wet parts' were all replaced.

The only difference is Adi Gallia.

After a long slumber, she woke up again and did not become a walking corpse. After hearing Darth Malthael's voice from the void, she will once again serve her master as 'death'.

At the same time, take revenge on the Galactic Empire!

After walking out of the bathroom, the B-1 combat robot brought over a set of clean clothes. At the same time, it turned on its own player and played a short piece of Tang Xiao's voice: [Go to the planet Mandalore and monitor everything that happens there. Pay close attention to Orega and don't let him act recklessly. If you find Darth Maul, kill him immediately! 】

After playing, thick smoke billowed out of the B-1 combat robot's head, and it fell to the ground with a whine, its CPU being completely burned.

…

At this moment, the Mandalorian galaxy, planet No. 4, Kalevala. This planet is at an average distance of about 300 million kilometers from the Mandalorian planet in orbit 5, and few people usually come here.

Several modified armed cargo ships are suspended near the planet Kalevala, a group of interstellar pirates employed by the Zane Consortium.

Although the Zane Consortium started out by recycling and renovating battleships, after Tiber Zane took over, it rapidly expanded its power in the dark underground world. A large number of pirates, smugglers and gangsters were hired by them to work for them. Become the lowest level thug of Zane Consortium.

For example, now, Gar Saxon has become the governor of the planet Mandalore, and Tiber Zane fully supports his development. Therefore, the current mission of these pirates is to rob other planets in the Mandalorian sector and create panic, so as to re-radiate the influence of the Mandalorian planet.

Just when several captains got together and talked about where to grab the next order, the alarm suddenly sounded! Before they could react, they saw an extremely huge battleship leaving hyperspace and appearing directly next to them!

This is clearly a flagship model of the Shenyi-class destroyer! The slender and huge hull of 2273 meters makes these armed cargo ships as small as mice.

Electronic interference instantly deprived all communication signals, the tractor beam directly grabbed several spacecraft, and they lost their ability to resist within a few seconds.

"What happened!"

"Why are there separatist warships here?!" The pirates panicked.

"No, it's impossible! Our meeting is secret, no one knows we are here!" one of the captains shouted.

"It's the coordinates I sent." Among them, a Rodian captain said calmly: "My master wants to see you. You have some effect on him."

"You traitor!!" The other captain immediately pulled out a blaster pistol and pointed it at his head.

"There's no point in killing me." The Rodian said in a calm tone with an expressionless face, "The master is waiting for you, don't waste time, go quickly."

The huge battleship is right next to him. Indeed, killing him will have no effect. These captains had no choice but to get on the shuttle and fly into the open hangar platform of the Shenyi-class destroyer.

After a while, they came back, as if nothing had happened. They each returned to their respective spaceships, connected to the ship's communications, and said loudly: "Young guys! Big business is coming!! This boss has arranged it for us. Work! Let’s go and do a good job, and then go back and report to Mr. Tabor Zane!”

Several armed cargo ships started their hyperspace engines and disappeared without a trace, leaving only the huge Shenyi-class destroyer still floating here. The battleship only moved slightly and entered the synchronous orbit of the planet Kalevala, hiding itself in the planet's thick atmosphere so that no one could detect it.

…

What happened on the Kalevala planet had no impact on the Mandalorian planet at all. Everything was running step by step.

The resistance was gradually wiped out, the planet gradually entered peace, industry began to develop, and people picked up their tools and walked into the factory.

However, today, Governor Gar Saxon of the planet Mandalore felt his scalp was numb.

Because this morning, ten corpses were neatly placed at the entrance of the palace in Sundari City. And these ten corpses are all Mandalorian warriors wearing beskar steel armor!

What's even more terrifying is that the bodies of these killed Mandalorian warriors were all shriveled under their armor, as if they were mummies! Fortunately, there are no external injuries!

No one knows when these people were killed, and no one knows when they were placed here.

But one thing is very certain, if this killer is willing, he can definitely kill Gar Saxon directly!

This made Gar-Saxon anxious. He summoned thousands of guards to gather in the palace and urgently asked Tiber-Zane for help.

After staying up all night, reinforcements arrived from Gar-Saxon the next day.

A shuttle landed directly on the apron of the palace, and Gar Saxon hurriedly went over to greet it in person. The hatch opened, and only 10 Night Sisters wearing red and black tight-fitting combat uniforms with war tattoos of different shapes on their faces came out and lined up on both sides.

Then, a man in a black cloak walked down. Lifting the hood, it was a bald woman with pale skin, but with a wild charm.

Seeing this man, Gar Saxon was overjoyed, "Asajj Ventress, I didn't expect you to come here in person. This way, I don't have to worry about the killer!"

"I think you still need to worry, Lord Gar Saxon." Asajj Ventress said coldly, "Lord Tenebrous attaches great importance to this attack and can kill it silently. The ten Mandalorian warriors are not ordinary people, they are almost certainly Force-sensitive, and they are very powerful."

"Should I... find a place to hide for a while?" Gar-Saxon asked.

"Now that I'm here, I don't want you to make this stupid move." Asajj Ventress snorted, "The greatest support we give Mandalore now is not to let you hide in a corner. "You must step forward and lead the development of Mandalore yourself."

She waved her hand, threw the black cloak on the head of a Mandalorian warrior next to her, and walked towards the palace.

Gar-Saxon hurriedly followed behind and said: "Don't worry, Lord Ventress, with the support of Lord Tenebrous, the planet Mandalore will surely become powerful again! We will also become that Lord's most powerful Help!”

"I hope so." Asajj Ventress glanced at him and ignored him. Instead, he went all the way to the basement of the palace to check the ten corpses.

When she saw these corpses, Ventress's face suddenly became solemn. She reached out and tapped the corpses a few times, and murmured to herself: "The Angel of Death..." (End of Chapter)
