The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2346. Force Storm

Darth Malthael searched frantically among the mountains of manuscripts. Most of these dark and forbidden manuscripts were the research notes left by Darth Plagueis, as well as the research notes of Darth Tyne. Documents written silently for Burroughs when he was under his control.

The amount of knowledge covered in these research notes and manuscripts is very large, because both Darth Plagueis and Darth Tenebrous belong to the type who are very enthusiastic about studying the nature of the dark side of the Force. The previous generations of Sith Lords lying flat were completely different.

Darth Malthael rests on such a legacy and will naturally benefit from it. However, this incident also exposed a huge shortcoming of Darth Malthael - the energy he invested in studying the dark side of the Force was far less than that of the Sith Lords.

Whether it was Darth Plagueis or Darth Tenebrous, or even Darth Sidious after becoming the Emperor of the Empire, they were all inferior.

As Luminara Anduli said just now, he is first the king of the Kingdom of Dawn, and then a Sith Lord. He managed the Kingdom of Dawn to this point and was able to fight head-on with the Galactic Empire. It can be said that all these achievements and glory belong to him.

At the same time, the influence of darkness on him has been minimized, which is also an important guarantee for the smooth development of the Kingdom of Dawn.

However, the price is that although he inherited the knowledge of Darth Plagueis and Darth Tenebrous, he still did not make any big breakthroughs.

His dark side force and death force are becoming more and more powerful, but he has never been able to take a step further in understanding the essence of the dark side, that is, he has his own unique understanding.

If it weren't for Luminara Anduli's reminder, he would definitely die if he fought Darth Sidious in his current state!

Darth Malthael saw an unclear description in one of the forbidden books. This book was left by Darth Tenebrous. It is a book about the balance of the Force. The main content of this book is about how the balance of the Force is established and destroyed.

There are some conjectures mentioned in it, which are situations that may occur in some very extreme situations. And one of them is the Force Storm!

Darth Tenebrous mentioned that when the Force is completely out of balance under the influence of the dark side, and darkness almost covers the entire galaxy, a Force storm may erupt. He said that this kind of force storm will tear everything apart, especially those who are sensitive to the force. As long as they come into contact with the force, they will be torn into pieces by the force storm.

At that time, it will be almost like the end of the universe. The Force is completely out of control, destroying everything just like they gave birth to all things.

However, no one has ever seen what such a force storm looks like. It was only when Darth Tenebrous was studying the imbalance of the Force that he realized that the Force sometimes had some slight disturbances, and might injure those who sensed the Force at this time. He judged from this that if such a disorder was magnified countless times, it might have horrific consequences.

Because this statement is basically a subjective judgment without much evidence, Darth Malthael has not paid much attention to this thing. After all, even in the plot of "Star Wars" that he knew, there was never such a thing as a force storm.

But now, Darth Malthael suddenly thought of a possibility!

Ever since Darth Sidious became the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, it can be said that he has been tyrannical and rebellious. He has not done much in human affairs, and even a beast would call him an expert. He almost unabashedly exploits and exploits the middle and outer rim sectors, as well as almost all non-human races.

In this process, not only those wealthy families made a lot of money, but he himself also benefited a lot from it. It was a carnival of wealth and exploitation, and almost all vested interests were crazy about it. For a time, most places in the galaxy were in dire straits, and rebellions and uprisings broke out one after another.

Putting aside the casualties caused by wars and uprisings, the number of civilians who have died due to famine and overwork since the establishment of the Galactic Empire to the present may be calculated in tens of billions!

So, does Darth Sidious not know how to govern a country?

Apparently not. When he was a councilor on the planet Naboo, as one of the most trusted assistants of Finis Valorum, Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic at the time, Sheev Palpatine presided over many livelihood projects and completed them all. Very good, bringing stability and prosperity to those planets.

So why did he do such a deed when he became the emperor of the Galactic Empire?

What if... there is a possibility that Darth Sidious is trying to artificially trigger a Force storm? What if he also obtained some records about Force storms from the collections of the Jedi Order and took precautions against them?

In this way, he can survive the Force storm, but maybe other Force-sensitive people will die here. By that time, Darth Sidious will become a veritable——

One Sith!

As one of the most powerful Force-sensitive people in the galaxy, Darth Malthael can also feel that with the pain and death of countless people, the fluctuations of the Force are getting stronger and stronger, and the balance of the Force is becoming more and more fragile. When countless lives died in a short period of time, he could also sense the wailing of the Force.

And now, if these things are linked to the Force storm, the situation will become very terrible.

Darth Sidious, perhaps he would rather drag everyone to his grave, and he wants to be the master of this galaxy! He wants to be a Sith, he wants to be a god!

This is absolutely... not allowed!

Darth Malthael took a deep breath and sat down on the dark altar again. He picked up the communicator and sent the last message, which was to Helmut Zemo and Ling Liang.

[I will practice in seclusion and find a way to kill Darth Sidious. Don't wake me up before our fleet attacks the planet Coruscant. 】

Then, he crushed the communicator and integrated all his thoughts, soul and force into the vast, turbulent and dark river of force.

He needed to feel and think about the nature of the dark side and the nature of death.

His only advantage now was that as a user of the dark side force, the balance of the force was constantly leaning towards the dark side, making him extremely powerful. This gave him the ability to conduct more in-depth exploration.

There is still one year left...

After one year, I will kill you!

Darth Sidious! (End of this chapter)
