The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2541 The Black Hole Arrives
2542: Black Hole Arrives

That’s right, this black Executor-class Super Star Destroyer is the flagship of the Galactic Emperor, Palpatine - Imperator Dominus.

In fact, strictly speaking, the Hegemony cannot be considered Palpatine's flagship. It's just that this super star destroyer is stationed in the center of the empire, and its paint was changed to pure black by the personal order of His Majesty the Emperor, so the imperial military basically regards this battleship as Palpatine's flagship.

By the way, don't underestimate the pure black paint. To paint a Super Star Destroyer black, the cost of paint alone is an astronomical figure. The reason why the battleships of the Galactic Empire are generally iron gray is actually very simple - this color of paint is the cheapest.

Jerrick never expected that when he reported to the black hole, the person who would receive him was Emperor Palpatine! !

He quickly led his team to kneel down in front of the screen respectfully to welcome the emperor. Even without hair on his lower body, he lowered his anti-gravity device and lay on the ground to show his submission.

However, the holographic projection of the communication flashed, and what appeared in it was a strange black shadow. Except for the pair of eyes that flashed with the light of the Force, the whole body of this black shadow was shrouded in darkness, and there was an endless starry sky reflected on it, which seemed to be all-encompassing, as if it really was a human-shaped black hole!
Jerrick was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses, without changing his prostration, he lowered his head and said, "Master Black Hole."

Black Hole said coldly: "His Majesty the Emperor did not come in person, but he also attached great importance to this matter. He handed the Hegemony to me and asked me to bring back the legacy of the God of Destruction Coleman Law."

"As you command." Jerrick responded respectfully.

He personally piloted his Lambda-class shuttle into the Hegemony's Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, continued to detain Hydra in the Super Star Destroyer's hospital, and then went to the bridge to report to Black Hole.

Even standing in front of them, the black hole was still a completely impenetrable black shadow, with countless stars reflected on it. He stared at Jerrick, and his voice seemed to come from all directions, "Well done, Jerrick. Not only did you find Hydra, you also found Coleman Law's message. You will be rewarded!"

"It is my pleasure, my Lord," said Jerick.

He also noticed that there were two other inquisitors following behind Black Hole, one was the tall Jan Droga, and the other was a Zabrak-human hybrid named Fa'zoll.

"Let's go and see Hydra." Black Hole said, and his figure gradually disappeared like a shadow.

Jerick immediately turned around and went to the hospital inside the battleship, only to see Hydra still tied to the bed, unable to move. Three medical robots were surrounding her, treating her wounds and removing the countless scars caused by torture. There was also a special medical robot injecting her with muscle relaxants.

The figure of Black Hole slowly appeared out of thin air, standing at the head of the bed, his cold eyes staring at the immobile Hydra, his eyes seemed to see through the Hydra's body and soul. Just such a gaze made the Hydra suffer, as if it was pierced by countless sharp blades.

Hydra could only endure this torture. She couldn't move her body, and even her eyes were oppressed by the force of the black hole, unable to close. After a long time, until tears kept flowing from her eyes, the black hole asked coldly: "You, you have the nerve to come to see me alive?"

The Hydra said painfully: "I will always be loyal to the Empire, to His Majesty the Emperor, and to you... my Lord."

"Tell me, what did they do to you?" Black Hole asked directly. "They used cruel punishment on me, just to make me tell the secrets of the empire. I resisted most of it. But later, they directly peeked into my soul and saw the part about the God of Destruction, Coleman Law." Hydra said slowly, "They obviously also have a lot of information. After comparing it with the part in my mind... they deduced the location of the Temple of the God of Destruction..."

When she spoke, Black Hole kept looking at her with cold eyes. His eyes were as chilling as a sharp blade, making Hydra dare not tell any lies.

The Hydra continued, "The one who tortured me was Darth Lilim, and the one who dug out the information from my soul was Depa Billaba, but now she calls herself the 'priestess'. As long as the priestess was there, I would have no chance... but after she got this information, she left for a short time. I seized this opportunity... took the coordinates and ran away."

Her eyes fell on the memory in Jerick's hand. "This is the coordinates of the location of the temple of the God of Destruction, Coleman Law..."

Jerick quickly handed over the storage device with both hands.

The memory was taken away by an invisible force out of thin air and floated in front of the black hole. He said coldly: "Open it."

Hydra gritted its teeth. Severely injured and continuously injected with muscle relaxants, it would take all its strength to open this small Force lock with the Force.

The Force lock was opened, and only a beautiful purple light was projected. This light was gorgeous and colorful, and its shape was constantly changing. However, there was no star or any coordinates.

"Are you kidding me?" Black Hole's voice turned gloomy.

"I dare not... Here... This is the interior of the Val Taulu Rift. It does not belong to our dimension, nor to the hyperspace... but to the void between the two..." Hydra whispered, "There, stands a temple as magnificent as a planet..."

Black Hole stared at the memory and fell silent. He stopped talking and just looked at the light without saying a word. After a long time, he took the memory away and returned to his room.

It took another three days for Black Hole to reappear on the bridge. He said to Jerrick, "We can set off now."

"Where are you going, my lord?" Jerrick was stunned.

"Go to the Valtaulu Rift, the temple of the God of Destruction." Black Hole said coldly.

He waved his hand, and the memory flew directly to the battleship's navigation system. Then, he directly activated his extremely powerful Force. At this moment, the star map on the navigation system was instantly covered by the purple light, completely losing its normal navigation function.

Then, the Hegemony Super Star Destroyer turned around and headed towards the super black hole of the Vartaulu Whirlpool and started its hyperspace engine! !
