The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2553 The Result of the Conspiracy

2554: The Result of the Conspiracy
Next, since Jerick's team is back, that's enough. Whether it's Darth Malthael who kills Sarris or something else, as long as Sarris's life and death can be controlled, the black hole will almost certainly be shaken.

Finally, we need to prepare for another variable - Hydra.

The information that Darth Malthael gave to Hydra was all true, not a single bit of false information. Whether it was the location of the Val Taurus Rift or the location of the Temple of the God of Destruction, everything was true. Only in this way could they catch a big enough fish.

After that, they would use the little bit of heritage left in the Temple of the God of Destruction and Lucien Dray's Force robot sculpture to create enough trouble for Black Hole and his men. Because if they couldn't even get past the Force robot, it would only mean that the fish was not big enough, and in the end, neither Darth Malthael nor the Judgement Priestess would show up, so Jerick would just have to get a little benefit and go back to report.

After all, if there is a first time, there will be a second time. If you have tasted the sweetness the first time, then there will definitely be a bigger goal the second time. Anyway, the remains of the God of Destruction are here and will not run away.

As a result, this time not only a big fish was caught, but it was an unexpectedly super big fish!

Not only did the black hole come, even Darth Sidious mobilized his clone, Jan Droga, who had almost reached the level of complete soul synchronization.

Jan Droga had appeared in the previous battle of the Model Sector, and at that time he had fought head-on with Darth Malthael under the control of Darth Sidious. In that battle, both of them were injured, so for a long time afterwards, Darth Sidious did not use Jan Droga as a puppet again.

Darth Malthael also asked the Military Intelligence Department to invest a lot of manpower and resources to investigate the members of the dark side organization that was once the "Hand of the Speaker", which should now be renamed the "Hand of the Emperor". However, so many years have passed and there is still no result.

But this time, he came to me on his own initiative!
The only thing that Darth Malthael didn't expect was that the black hole actually brought Darth Sidious' flagship, the Hegemony Executor-class Super Star Destroyer! The existence of this super star destroyer made it impossible for Darth Malthael to cut off their retreat, so he had to ensure that the battle ended on the ground.

Darth Malthael knew that Darth Sidious had come the moment he saw Jan Droga, so he had been hiding in the dark. He had been trying to integrate this power for a while since he had merged with the Dark Archon, who was a fusion of two Dark Templars, Sora-A and Aura-Khan.

However, the Dark Archon's void power and death force still belong to two completely different systems, and Darth Malthael has not yet been able to completely integrate them. However, in the current environment, he used the void power to hide in the void and was able to avoid Darth Sidious's detection!
According to the original plan, Darth Malthael intended to hide first to observe the black hole and the power of Darth Sidious, and then use the body of his "son" to kill him with one blow.

However, when the Judge and the Priestess really fought the black hole, they found that the shadow of the black hole was almost invincible! Darth Malthael was surprised to find that it was difficult to kill the black hole even if he did it himself. And it was obvious that the black hole's body was not here!
If it's not here, then there is only one possibility - on the Super Star Destroyer Hegemony!
The situation had fallen into the worst situation, because if he was not careful, Black Hole and Darth Sidious might both escape. So Darth Malthael decided to go up first with his own body, further delaying Darth Sidious and Black Hole, and then use the body of his "son".

However, the power of the Force Storm was too terrifying. Darth Malthael only now realized that the gap between him and Darth Sidious was getting bigger and bigger. It was impossible for his original body to defeat Darth Sidious who had mastered the Force Storm!
So, in the end, he could only flee in panic, not caring about whether the fighter planes were safe or not, and quickly threw his "son" out to save his life.

However, he still had one last thought, and before controlling his "son's" body, he resurrected Sarius. As expected, it worked wonders. Seeing Sarius's resurrection, Black Hole's heart collapsed instantly, and he couldn't even control the shadow properly.

You have to know that the use of the Force by Force-sensitive people is a very subjective thing. Simply put, if you want to use this power, you must first believe in it, recognize it, and even believe in it, and then you can use it. I don't know what Black Hole thought after seeing Sarris resurrected from the dead, but it is obvious that he no longer believes in his own way of nothingness.

His power was instantly broken.

After the black hole's shadow power could no longer be used, Darth Malthael controlled the body of his "son" and tore his shadow apart with invincible power. Even though the black hole was only a shadow projection, he needed to split his soul to control the projection. After being completely torn apart by his "son", the black hole's shadow could no longer condense, and even his soul was irreparably damaged!
After the black hole exits, it’s time for a head-on confrontation between the “son” and Darth Sidious!
This duel is like a LV.999 warrior versus a LV.99 mage. Although you have countless skills, exquisite techniques, and genius ideas, it is still useless against the warrior's 9999 magic resistance. And in the face of the warrior's 9999 physical damage, all defensive means are ineffective.

The corpse of his "son" withstood the endless force storm, smashing Jan-Droga's body like a rag doll. And there is no doubt that when Jan-Droga was finally killed, Darth Sidious's body was definitely seriously injured!
But Darth Malthael was definitely not feeling well either, because his "son" was too powerful, and the gap between him and him was too great. He could be said to have reached the pinnacle of mortals, but his "son" was a god!
Darth Sidious's resistance was indeed very fierce, and even his "son" had to work hard to kill his clone. In the case of excessive consumption, Darth Malthael was almost eaten back by his "son".

……

After a long time, Tang Xiao finally woke up from his trance. He felt that his power had almost completely dried up, and his head was splitting with pain. It was as if another person appeared in his mind...

That person was still asking in his mind, [Who am I? Where am I? Who am I? Where am I? ]

After finally suppressing the voice, Tang Xiao asked the Judge and the Priestess to help him up, and then he leaned against the stasis chamber containing his "son's" body to rest.

He waved his hand and asked, "What's the situation now?"

"The Hegemony Super Star Destroyer has left, and I think the black hole is still inside." The priestess said, "But judging from his previous condition, he will probably be a useless person for a long time."

Tang Xiao nodded and said, "His condition will only be worse than you think. We don't need to worry about the black hole anymore. Even if he is still alive, he will no longer be an obstacle to us."

"If that's the case, our plan this time can be said to be very successful. Darth Lilim's side, huh, is also causing the Galactic Empire a lot of trouble..." Speaking of the Rak Ghoul's plan, the priestess's expression is still extremely indifferent, even a little happy.

The former Jedi Master had long since died, and now she was the leader and principal of the Twilight Covenant, and the chief dark side force advisor to Tang Xiao, the King of Dawn. She had long since let go of death and killing.

If there were not people like Judgment who still have light in their hearts, Twilight Covenant might have turned into a completely dark academy.

Tang Xiao said: "It is impossible for Darth Sidious to find a second container with such a high soul synchronization rate. It can be said that our biggest hidden danger has been eliminated. Moreover, without the black hole, the intelligence system of the Galactic Empire will inevitably have a lot of loopholes... These are all our opportunities." After thinking for a while, he continued: "After I return to the Dawn Planet, we will launch a general offensive. It's time to put an end to the Galactic Empire."

"It's... my honor." The priestess knelt on one knee very respectfully.

Originally, with her identity and status, Tang Xiao would have exempted her from some of the formalities. But she had waited too long for the day to destroy the Galactic Empire, kill Darth Sidious, and avenge the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order.

It was Tang Xiao who gave her hope for revenge!

At this time, Sarris also came over. She looked indifferent at the moment, and there was a burnt black mark on her chest. This was left when Darth Sidious used Force lightning to kill her.

In fact, even Tang Xiao didn't understand why Darth Sidious killed Yun and Sarris at that time. He could only understand that the dark side had entered his mind and he just killed them because he didn't like them.

Saris knelt on his knees and said respectfully: "I will serve you as my Lord. You are the whole meaning of my life..."

Tang Xiao said coldly: "You are of some use, that's fine. But you are not qualified yet, so go to Dusk Covenant and be a teacher first."

He raised his hand and a black Kyber crystal flew out of his pocket. This was a crystal he always carried with him. Under his control, the crystal actually sank directly into Sarris's chest and replaced the burnt heart.

As the black light began to flicker, the dark force in Sarris's body also began to surge! She was now several times stronger than before!
Saris was overjoyed and bowed again, "Thank you for your gift, Master..."

The judge and the priestess on the side knew that the qualification Tang Xiao mentioned was to put on the mask and become his most core direct force.

Each mask corresponds to a card. Tang Xiao calls this set of cards "Tarot Cards". Each card has a different meaning. This means a summary and farewell to the past life, and at the same time, welcoming the future life with a new face.

Put on a mask and you become another person.

At present, these people have not been named. They are headed by the priestess, including the judge (Celeste Moon), death (Adi Gallia) and the hermit (Obi-Wan Kenobi). However, Obi-Wan Kenobi has temporarily given up his identity as a hermit and is now helping Satine Kryze restore her country on the planet Mandalore.

Because the Twilight Covenant has been studying and training on the Dray II satellite for a long time, they have a very deep connection with the Protoss who are also here. The current Protoss elder Zekaras occasionally calls these Tarot Masks the "Twilight Council".

A very Protoss-like name.

"Master, what should we do with these two people here?" Judge came over and said respectfully.

Tang Xiao turned around and saw two more bodies. One was a very young and handsome guy, Yun, who was also in love with Sarris, and the other body was actually Jerrick!

Yun was easy to understand, because Judgment and the priestess knew that Tang Xiao would definitely resurrect useful people after the battle, so they failed to sneak attack the black hole when he was fighting Darth Sidious, and then took the two bodies and ran away. Because Tang Xiao had previously reminded that Sarris would be very useful when dealing with the black hole, and Yun's body was just carried by Judgment.

Judgment, who still firmly believes in the light side, feels very sympathetic towards Yun's plight.

But Jerrick's body...that's weird.

Because his body was preserved by the black hole.

At that time, Jerick witnessed Darth Sidious killing Sarris and Yun with his own hands. He and his subordinates were originally as close as family. He took Sarris in in the hope of helping Sarris escape from the sea of ​​suffering. Because in order to destroy his daughter, Black Hole allowed the people of the Judiciary to do countless beastly things to her. But since being taken in by Jerick, Sarris finally lived a normal life.

So Jerick was completely disappointed with the Emperor of the Galactic Empire at that time, and he chose to escape in fear. Later, he was lured back by Tang Xiao, who used the attack on the Hegemony as bait to attract the attention of Darth Sidious, giving Tang Xiao the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Originally, in Tang Xiao's opinion, Jerick's value was limited to this. Later, Darth Sidious directly used the Force to detonate the fear in Jerick's heart, causing his heart to explode instantly and die on the spot. Tang Xiao no longer paid attention to this guy.

But now it is discovered that for some unknown reason, Black Hole actually took Jerrick's body away from the fighting range of both parties.

Otherwise, with the blood-red lightning and force storms flying everywhere at the time, Jerick's body would have been reduced to ashes just like the bodies of his other two subordinates, Mao and Bocas-Aika.

Black Hole naturally knew that Tang Xiao could revive the dead, so he kept Jerrick's body for Tang Xiao's resurrection? What was he thinking at that moment?
Tang Xiao didn't know. But now that Jerick's body was in front of him, he found that this person could actually be very useful!
