The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2544: Battle of the Temple (I)

Everyone got off the shuttle, and Jerrick and the others looked at the surrounding scene with some curiosity.

This place seemed to be an endless city. Everywhere you looked there were countless broken walls and ruins. Broken fragments floated in the air, and some were even suspended in front of everyone's eyes.

Saris couldn't help but raise his hand to touch a piece of broken brick. The broken brick flew forward a few meters and then stopped, slowly spinning in place.

Under them, one can see a bottomless passage leading to the depths of the temple.

Even though this temple has become a ruin, it is at least tens of thousands of meters high. If we go down from here, we don’t know how many floors there are to reach the bottom. We don’t even know if the temple has an underground structure. If so, we don’t know how many areas we need to explore.

If we want to thoroughly explore this place, it would probably take tens of millions of people!

Moreover, when they were on the Hegemony, they knew that the sensors were useless. Even the extremely powerful scanners of the Super Star Destroyer could not penetrate this temple, and they had no idea what was inside the temple!
Here, the only thing you can rely on is the Force.

"My Lord, we should now..." Jerrick walked over to seek Black Hole's opinion.

Black Hole waved his hand, and an invisible force dragged the Hydra following behind them and threw it directly in front of them. The Hydra looked miserable now. She was just wearing a black cloak with nothing underneath. Her black hair was scattered on her shoulders, and her eyes were full of fear.

The once powerful Ice Queen is now just a helpless woman. Her power has been destroyed by endless torture and interrogation. The cruel human experiments of Darth Lilim and Alexia Ashford, and the excessive muscle relaxants injected after being recovered by Jerick, have completely turned her into a useless person.

No matter how high and mighty she once was, now, she was just a tool that had been squeezed dry of all its uses, even her beautiful body had been completely "used". That's right, her only fate was to be abandoned in this deserted ruin and gradually decay.

"Go ahead and explore the way." Black Hole said coldly.

Hydra looked at the endless ruins in front of her, her body trembling, and she pleaded in a low voice: "I... I can't do it anymore... Don't..."

"Hehehehe..." Fa-Zor laughed strangely. He walked over, and with a click, he put a collar full of barbs on the Hydra's white and tender neck!

Blood immediately flowed out from countless puncture wounds, and the Hydra screamed and collapsed to the ground.

Fa-Zor grinned and took the chain with the collar in his hand. He walked in front of Jerrick, stuck out his forked tongue, made a provocative face, and then stuffed the chain into Sarris's hand with his backhand.

Sarius was originally afraid of the Hydra, but now he was filled with pity for it, and he was at a loss as to what to do with the chains.

Jerick frowned and was about to snatch the chain, but at this moment, he heard Black Hole say coldly: "That's it."

Saris glanced at the black hole, his eyes filled with hatred.

However, Black Hole turned a blind eye and just said, "What's wrong, Sarris? You who embrace darkness, do you still have compassion?"

Saris gritted his teeth and dragged the Hydra forward with the chain.

Fa-Zor followed her, laughing strangely. However, at this moment, Yun stood in front of him, drew his lightsaber with a hum, looked at him with gritted teeth and said, "If you come close to her again, I'll chop you off first!" "Hehehehe." Fa-Zor laughed strangely and turned back behind the black hole.

It seemed that neither he nor Jan-Droga had any intention of joining in the exploration.

Sarris could only drag the Hydra forward. She tried to relax as much as possible and tried every way to make the Hydra feel a little more relaxed. However, the Hydra was too weak to move fast, and Black Hole urged it coldly from behind. Although Sarris hated it in her heart, her experiences since childhood made her dare not disobey her extremely cruel father. She could only increase her strength and pull the Hydra forward.

The Hydra groaned weakly, its delicate neck having been rubbed bloody by the barbs.

"Over there." The black hole pointed in a direction. There should be the base of a huge structure. A huge hole could be vaguely seen, leading to the deep underground.

However, they had only taken a few steps when the scenery around them suddenly changed!

Countless phantoms suddenly appeared here. These shadows were all strange in shape and huge in size. Even though they were just shadows, they looked extremely hideous and chilling!

These monsters were like a swarm of demons, making silent roars and moving in one direction. The direction they were moving in was exactly the direction the black hole was pointing.

Sarris quickly dragged the Hydra and followed the monsters. After entering the underground entrance, the surrounding architectural style suddenly changed! On both sides were extremely hideous monster reliefs, which seemed to be what the surrounding monster phantoms looked like when they were alive. Compared with the phantoms that could not be seen at all, these reliefs fully showed the monsters' terrible body structure. Even the judges who fell into the dark side could not help but be terrified when they saw such a scene.

After a hundred thousand years, one can still seem to hear the terrifying roars of these monsters!
Black Hole looked at the monsters, stroking the relief greedily, and muttered to himself, "Coleman Law, the God of Destruction, has the power to create countless dark alchemical monsters. The monsters he created all possess invincible power and extraordinary wisdom... Only one is needed to destroy the resistance of an entire planet! The dark alchemical monsters he created can even fight against the interstellar fleet! Hahahaha!"

He laughed loudly. "This is the power of God! As long as I can get his legacy, I can create countless dark alchemical monsters like this! Whether it is the Kingdom of Dawn or anything else, it will be crushed into pieces under the attack of countless monsters! Everything... will be annihilated..."

He looked at Sarius and Hydra in front of him and shouted, "Keep moving forward! I can already sense the fluctuations of the Force just ahead!"

Saris continued forward and found an extremely huge hall at the end of the deep passage.

The phantoms of the surrounding monsters were gathering in this hall at the moment, as if they were having a carnival. However, here, a 'normal' statue appeared.

The statue is about 20 meters high. It is a majestic human warrior, looking up and looking forward.

In fact, the appearance of such a statue in the ruins of this temple is a very common thing, but the wrong thing is that this is a human being.

"Stop being mysterious. Whoever you are, come out... puppies of Dawn." Black Hole said gloomily.

The shadows of the monsters around them suddenly disappeared, and the place became dark and silent again. However, no one came out.

"Hmph! Tear down this statue for me!" Black Hole ordered.

Saris had no choice but to draw out his lightsaber and chop at the statue's foot!
At this moment, the statue suddenly moved! It raised its foot and kicked over! Sarris quickly dodged, but the statue had completely revived at this moment, strode up to catch up, bent down and punched him again!
Not only that, but strange lights suddenly lit up on the reliefs of the surrounding monsters! (End of this chapter)
