The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2548: Battle of the Temple (VI)

2549: Battle of the Temple (VI)
At the moment Sarius was killed by Darth Sidious, the black hole that was fighting the mutated Hydra suddenly paused. In this instant, the Hydra pounced over with its fangs and claws, and grabbed the black hole shadow in the chest with one claw, tearing the shadow into two!

The shadow of the black hole re-condensed in another place. He glanced deeply in the direction of Sarris, without any expression, but his movements were obviously much stiffer. He continued to use Force lightning to attack the Hydra, coordinating with the attack of Fa-Zor's clone.

It is obvious that Black Hole's dark side force spells do not have a strong attack power. He is assisting most of the time, and the main attacking role is still Fa-Zor.

Sarris's sudden death caused a great psychological shock to Black Hole, but now because the person who did it was the Imperial Emperor Palpatine, he still forced himself to suppress his inner hesitation.

However, in such a shaken state, he could hardly suppress the increasingly crazy Hydra!

There have been more and more mutations on the Hydra, and now it is almost impossible to see the human form. She began to run around on all fours. The two ice blades originally formed by the icy force were no longer used. Instead, she condensed extremely sharp ice claws from the fingertips of her hands.

The ice continued to spread wherever she passed, just like the shadow of the black hole. These were Force skills that could affect the surrounding environment. Both sides were fighting with all their might in their respective fields. Once they failed, they would fall into the control of the other side until they were defeated.

On the other side, seeing Yun and Sarris being killed by the sudden Jan-Droga, Jerick's face turned pale instantly. When he realized that Jan-Droga was actually possessed by Darth Sidious, his expression kept changing. With complicated emotions and endless fear, he gradually retreated until he left the hall and ran out.

He didn't know why he was running away, nor did he know where he should go. Because if he left the Emperor and the black hole behind and returned to the Hegemony Executor-class Super Star Destroyer alone, his life would be over.

Now there are only five top warriors left on the battlefield: Darth Sidious, Black Hole, Fa-Zor, as well as Judgment and Priestess. Of course, they don't care what the small character Jerick is thinking.

Jerrick was still running wildly in fear. He ran around in the maze-like temple ruins until he could no longer hear the sounds of fierce fighting in the distance.

However, at this time, a faint voice came to his ears, [Do you... want to avenge your family? Do you... want to live? Do you... want to revive them? Do something for me...]

Jerick jumped up suddenly and looked around vigilantly, but saw nothing.

That voice still kept appearing in his ears, [Hehehehe... You see, everything is so simple. All I want... is your submission... Come on... Submit to me, and all your desires will come true. Revenge, reunion, power... All you have to do is kneel down... Come on... Hehehe...]

……

At this moment, on the battlefield in the hall, Judgment and the priestess were already killing Darth Sidious from the left and right. Judgment had awakened the power of Karnes Moore again without hesitation! The powerful and trembling dark side force of the ancient first generation of Sith Lords spread unscrupulously!
"Hehehehe..." Darth Sidious just kept laughing strangely. His laughter seemed to be able to capture people's hearts, and just listening to it made people's souls tremble.

Judgment also fully unleashed the power of the Maul Amulet, but the power of the amulet had no effect on Darth Sidious at all, and was even weaker than a breeze!
The priestess also fully deployed the seventh sword technique, Vapad, and her attack was as fierce as a raging wave. The blood-red lightsaber carried an extremely powerful force, and as Vapad's sword became stronger and stronger, every stab of the sword carried the endless anger and hatred of the dark side!

Vapad is a very emotional swordsmanship, and the priestess has experienced the betrayal of Master Windu, the destruction of the Jedi Order, and the fall of the Galactic Republic. Her desire for revenge against Darth Sidious is unparalleled!

"Die! Palpatine!!! The countless resentful souls of the Republic will be settled here today!" the priestess shouted angrily, the lightsaber in her hand carrying an overwhelming momentum.

At this moment, her strength can even be said to have surpassed that of Master Windu. At that time, Master Windu could fully compete with Darth Sidious with his superb swordsmanship.

But... the Darth Sidious at that time and the Darth Sidious now are no longer the same!
“Hehehehe… Very imposing. I can feel the anger in your heart. That’s right! That’s right! Anger and hatred are the best nutrients for the dark side!” Darth Sidious casually drew out his lightsaber to block all the attacks of the priestess, but kept mocking her, “But don’t you realize? In fact, the fear in your heart has already taken root and sprouted... Yes, you are afraid, right? You are afraid... of me! Hahahahaha!”

Buzz~~~~!! The power of Darth Sidious's lightsaber suddenly increased, and he struck directly at the priestess. The priestess's Force collapsed instantly, and she was chopped away by the sword, and the lightsaber in her hand almost fell out of her hand.

Without giving Darth Sidious a chance to pursue, Judgment attacked from the other side. After absorbing the power of Karnes Moore, her force was extremely powerful. In addition, she had been practicing her swordsmanship in the past few years, absorbing the improvements in lightsaber swordsmanship over the past four thousand years.

Now, she has made up for many of her past shortcomings and has truly brought her swordsmanship to the highest level.

However, Darth Sidious didn't care at all. He raised his hand and another lightsaber appeared in his left hand, instantly blocking the lightsaber of Judgment. Not only that, when the priestess came back to kill him, Darth Sidious actually fought one with one hand. The movements of the two hands were completely unrelated, and each sword hit their Force nodes accurately.

The priestess stabbed out with her sword again, but Darth Sidious turned his hand and stabbed the front end of the priestess's lightsaber with his sword. Her force was defeated again, and she was kicked away by him again.

"Break...break point! How is this possible!" The priestess was extremely shocked. This must be the unique skill of her former master, Master Windu!
Through the superb force perception, he could find the breaking point of the force of all things. Whether it was an object, a person, or even an event, he could directly hit the vital point and instantly disintegrate the opponent.

But... Darth Sidious can even do this!!
"What? Are the Force skills of your Jedi Order difficult?" Darth Sidious asked back coldly.

"Go to hell!" Judgment didn't bother to talk nonsense with him. The powerful dark side force even condensed into a huge black sword. She became one with the sword and slashed directly at Darth Sidious!

"Yes!! Yes!! Hahahaha! This is what I want!" Darth Sidious raised his hand and turned it, and saw the boundless dark side force began to surge out, condense and rotate continuously, and finally...

Behind him, a boundless black hole appeared... Everything around it was swallowed up by this black hole.

Including, the Force of Judgment!

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” Amidst Darth Sidious’ wild laughter, Judgment groaned, retreated repeatedly, and fell to the ground weakly.

At this moment, Carnes-Moor's power had dissipated, and she turned back into the original light side of the Jedi Covenant.

Although her light side of the Force is still strong and can still reach the level of a top Jedi Master, there is no doubt that such power is meaningless in front of Darth Sidious!
"I have accepted Carnes-Moor's memories of the past seven thousand years!" Darth Sidious said coldly, raising his hand to grab Judgment's forehead.

Swish~~!! Another blood-red sword flashed by, this sword light was so powerful that Darth Sidious had to withdraw his hand to block the sword. The priestess gritted her teeth and rushed over again, blocking the judgment.

"Ah... fear, more fear... hehehe..." Darth Sidious' twisted and greasy laughter kept echoing in the air. He laughed at the priestess, then walked over step by step, spinning the two lightsabers in his hands casually.

The overall situation has been decided...

?
Beep, beep! Following a shrill alarm, a man suddenly ran in from outside. It was Jerrick!

He held a black exclusive communicator in his hand, and an alarm was sounding! He ran in and shouted, "Your Majesty! The Separatist Archangel-class Titan battleship suddenly appeared, and the Hegemony was attacked! They are calling for help!!"

"What did you say?!" Darth Sidious turned his head suddenly. The alarm was indeed the alarm that the Hegemony was attacked!

If anything happened to the Hegemony here, they might not even be able to return home!

The Judge and the Priestess had just been completely suppressed by him, so when the alarm sounded, Darth Sidious's full attention was on Jerek.

However, at this moment, he suddenly turned to the side!

Crack! ! A blood-red lightning instantly pierced his body! ! !

"Dum adu'nala." (Death, befall everything) Behind Darth Sidious, a dark shadow suddenly appeared without any warning. Then the blood-red lightsaber pierced his heart!

This sword! Darth Sidious, who had just been struck by the blood-red lightning, had no way to resist!
However, at this moment, Darth Sidious' figure suddenly disappeared into the shadows and then appeared ten meters away.

At the same time, on the other side, Fa-Zor had been thrown to the ground by the mutated Hydra. Even though he had completely lost his mind, the Hydra still had boundless hatred for Fa-Zor who had taken the opportunity to defile him. He pounced on the Zabrak hybrid and bit his body madly.

"Wow!! Ah...Ah!!! Help...Help!!!" Fa-Zor let out a shrill scream.

There was no doubt that the black hole had given up its control over him. Just now, the black hole had done its best to help him dodge the fatal blow from Darth Sidious.

Looking at the attacker - he was wearing a black cloak and was filled with the aura of death. However, what was strange was that there was a blood-red flame surrounding his body.

"Darth... Malthael... The Angel of Death." Darth Sidious raised his head, his dry yellow teeth clenched tightly. When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other.

Click, click. The two lightsabers in his hands were thrown away casually, and then he opened his hands, and the power of the blood-red lightning was dissolved and condensed in his hands, and he threw it back! The aftermath of the blood-red lightning shot straight towards the man!
Darth Malthael! The Lord of Dawn! Tang Xiao!!
The blood-red lightning didn't even touch Darth Malthael's body before it dissipated, and he also threw away the lightsaber in his hand. His Soul Reaper was still with Orega, and the lightsaber just now was just for sneak attacks, but now it was useless.

For strong men like Darth Malthael and Darth Sidious, unless it was a divine weapon like the Soul Reaper, it would not increase their strength. Darth Sidious was even ashamed to use a lightsaber. He would occasionally use a lightsaber to cut people, mainly out of insult to the Jedi Knights.

Facing the Sith Lord Darth Malthael, such insults were meaningless.

Fa-Zor's screams continued as the Hydra continued to eat his body. However, even after the mutation, the Hydra's mouth was not big, so the bite was not immediately fatal, causing Fa-Zor to suffer unspeakable pain.

Death is slow.

But no one cares about this little guy anymore.

The shadow of the black hole flashed and appeared behind Darth Sidious, while Darth Malthael stood in front of the Judgment and the Priestess.

The second round of competition is about to begin.

"Do you think I couldn't expect you to come in person, my dear brother?" Darth Malthael showed a hideous smile.

"This is exactly what I expected, isn't it? Hehehehe..." Darth Sidious laughed strangely.

Such laughter, coming from the body of a big, stupid guy like Jan Droga, was so out of place no matter how you looked at it.

He turned his head and saw Jerrick who had run away again. Now only his back could be seen. He didn't make any movement. He just fell to the ground with a thud and didn't move.

"There will always be rats and termites like this... That's why the Galactic Republic will eventually fall." Darth Sidious laughed strangely, "So, if the Empire wants to maintain long-term stability, it still has to catch a few rats from time to time."

He stared at Darth Malthael meaningfully.

"Your empire is on its last legs," Darth Malthael sneered. "But I am glad that you chose this soul-tuned clone to come. This gives you another chance to sit on your rotten throne and watch everything you own collapse into ruins."

"Two days ago, there might have been a slight possibility of such a thing happening. But today... it is destined not to happen. Because... the Kingdom of Dawn is about to be leaderless..." said Darth Sidious.

Before he finished speaking, boundless lightning appeared instantly, completely covering Darth Malthael! !
