The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

887: Dreamland, Illusionland (3)

In fact, in this regard, Darth Malthael and Darth Sidious are indeed very similar, but there are some differences. The former needs to develop and rely on the fourth civilization, while for the latter, whether it is the Galactic Republic or the Galactic Empire, they are just tools.

However, at this moment, the dream of the planet Harunkar became stronger and deeper, and even Darth Malthael began to see more things that shocked him.

The source of his power, and... the essence...

Yes, what did I see? what did i get What did I pay?

Before I opened my eyes from the medical bay of the Cushin mothership...

On the planet Dagobah, he got the answer to the previous question.

What did Darth Plagueis see when he named him? Why the name Darth Malthael?

he saw me...

In the long river of force, Darth Plagueis saw Tang Xiao.

It was the 'Tang Xiao' who gave Darth Plagueis the name-Masail.

'If the deity with this name stood in front of me, even I would be terrified. It gave you this name, it should have more meaning...' The words of Darth Plagueis echoed around.

It was Tang Xiao who told him this name, and who gave him this name, but it wasn't Tang Xiao.

Is it another time and space? Or someone impersonating him?

This is already the next question.

At this moment, Darth Malthael did not fight against the dream. On the contrary, he embraced the dream, and faced his past, future, and destiny calmly just like he did on Planet Dagobah...

"...You have brought too many disasters to this galaxy! Countless innocent people died because of you! You will pay the price!" A righteous voice came.

"...Eliadu, Deron, Ord-Mantel, Quarter, Coruscant...you have committed crimes on too many planets!"

"...You falsely claim to be the emperor of the Fourth Reich, but what you have done is not worthy of commanding all peoples!"

"...At this moment, I come to face you, in the name of the Milky Way! Darth Malthael!"

The figure in front of him is mighty, the force of the light side seems to be as vast as it can illuminate the entire universe, the green lightsaber in his hand is like an inextinguishable firework, his eyes seem to be able to pierce all the haze...

Once, twice, three times... I beat him many times.

But every time he can escape the grasp of death, every time, he will return again and become stronger...

Is this fate?

The bright lightsaber pierced his icy heart, and the scorching feeling returned to his immortal body again. At the last second of his life... he felt the warmth of life again.

Is this... destiny?

Luke Skywalker...

Were you destined to be the one who killed me the moment I woke up from the Kushen mothership?

This is...my fate, and, is it your fate?

"Hahahaha! Hahahahaha!! No! This is not fate! This is just my choice!! My path!! No matter who it is, no matter who it is! Whether it is Malthael or Luke! It will only be me On the road to eternity, a small stumbling block! I will eventually... break it!" Tang Xiao laughed wildly.

"Destiny... is always just an excuse for the weak! The weak who are powerless against fate!"

...

"Only you can save him." The old voice echoed in my mind.

"What did you see?" Darth Lilim asked softly.

"I've always been able to see... ever since I lost my eyes, I've been able to see more." It was the heroic spirit of Lucian Del Rey who spoke, "It's because I see more that I feel hopeless, but at the same time, There is still a glimmer of hope left in all of this.”

"What kind of despair? What kind of hope?" Darth Lilim, no, Edra Ketis asked slowly.

"The entire galaxy is plunged into darkness and the despair of destruction, and the hope of new life." Lucian Del Rey said.

"Darth Malthael, Tang Xiao, is he going to die?" Edra Ketis continued to ask.

"He can't fight against fate, at least for now, he doesn't have the power yet."

"If the future of the Milky Way is really so dark, then I'm sure he must be one of the sources of this darkness. Could it be that the hope you're talking about is his demise?"

"No, the real darkness and destruction was not brought by him alone. At the same time, it cannot be stopped by one person, anyone. Of course, this also includes him, Darth Malthael, Tang Xiao .”

"But why do you say that I can save him? Compared with him, my strength is like the difference between heaven and earth, not to mention the power that can kill him." Edra Ketis shook his head and sighed.

"I can't give you an answer either. I've seen more, but not enough." Lucian Del Rey said, "However, as the first person he resurrected, the connection between you and him is more than that." There's more to both of you than you can imagine."

"Why do you say that?"

"Planet Harunkar... there are too many things woven into its dreamland." Lucian Del Rey said, "I will do my best to protect you, and you... just look for the answer here."

...

Master Mace Windu walked forward, and in a relatively flat terrain, he finally saw his destination.

A very hidden village, if it wasn't for his talent at breaking the original force, it would be difficult to distinguish it.

As he approached, there were at least 14 dark sentries around him aiming at this side from all directions with their weapons, but they didn't shoot immediately.

Before coming to the village, Master Windu was surprised to see several clone soldiers on duty.

None of these clone soldiers wore helmets, and the polymer alloy armor on their bodies was so mottled that it was almost impossible to distinguish the original white color. The DC-15 blaster rifles in their hands were wrapped in thick cloth strips, and the cloth strips were covered with Polk The oil of tower amber is infiltrated, which can prevent the erosion of fungi.

Seeing Master Windu coming, these clone soldiers were a little surprised, "It's...General Windu? Is it you?"

Master Windu nodded, "Soldiers, it's me."

"How did you come here?" asked the soldier.

"Master Depa Birabha, where is it?" Mace Windu asked.

"She left here, and we don't know her whereabouts." A soldier said, "General Windu, please go this way, and I will take you to meet the leader of this settlement—Karl Vasto."

Master Windu nodded and followed the soldiers into the village.

Along the way, more heavily armed Corunai people could be seen coming down from the trees and following behind them, on alert.

Some of them held bows and arrows in their hands, while others held power shields.
