The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2647 Ending hastily
2647. A hasty ending

Darth Masai's main body is currently in a stasis pod on the Red Comet. His fighter jets are hidden beneath a superstructure and have not been affected.

However, Darth Sidious's Force storms were completely omnipresent, forcing "Son" to return to protect his original body.

In this way, the "son's" powerful strength is essentially bound there, completely unable to be used, and Darth Sidious will be invincible.

However, he still couldn't figure out just how terrifying his "son's" power was! He stood in front of the Red Comet and actually used his own body to withstand the Force storm's attack!

Boom!!! A turbo-laser cannon on an Imperial-class Star Destroyer fired a shot at "Son," but "Son's" crimson eyes blazed with bloodlust! He suddenly raised his hand, and the turbo-laser beam was frozen in mid-air!
Other warships were also firing and bombarding. The intense flames and explosions, along with the laser beams, created severe light pollution. Neither sight nor instruments could detect what was happening; they were simply firing continuously out of instinct.

One turbo laser beam after another was fired, but all of them were frozen in place by the "son's" terrifying Force. The turbo laser beams, which were originally thin beams after being fired, now looked like clusters of light balls when frozen in place.

Immediately afterwards, the "son" slowly brought his hands together. The powerful energy of the dozens of turbine laser beams was somewhat straining him, but his hands remained steady. Under his immense power, the turbine laser beams were slowly brought together, then coalesced into an extremely unstable sphere of light!

The energy level contained within this ball of light was terrifying, but the "son" controlled it in mid-air, and then...

It crashed down suddenly!
From the perspective of the other warships, the dense flames and lasers seemed to be dispersed by a gust of wind in an instant, disappearing without a trace within seconds. Then, a light like a small star suddenly lit up the superstructure of the Lila super star destroyer!

The explosion's flames spread instantly, and the super star destroyer's outer armor crumbled in the face of such condensed energy! This was equivalent to dozens or even hundreds of turbo laser cannon shots hitting the same spot!

In that instant, Darth Sidious's Force Storm struck the Red Comet, and the fighter jet immediately began to disintegrate and annihilate, disappearing completely within seconds!

Darth Masail's true form!
...Not here.

All they could see was "Son" carrying the stasis chamber with one hand, squeezing directly into the large hole that had been blasted into the Star Destroyer. Inside the Star Destroyer, the blast-proof compartment was lowering, but "Son" instantly dodged it, managing to hold the heavy compartment in place with his other hand!

The engine in the compartment door emitted a mournful sound, and the heavy metal door twisted and deformed under the immense force!
"Roar!!" "Son" let out a furious roar like a beast, and with a sudden push, the explosion-proof compartment door was directly pushed up! The powerful propulsion unit emitted thick smoke, clearly having been completely overloaded and destroyed.

The "son" carried the stasis chamber and rushed toward the general direction of the bridge.

Wherever he went, he sometimes didn't even go through the doors, but directly punched the metal partition wall again and again! The strength of the partition wall inside the warship was far superior to that of the outer armor, and a punch would immediately break a large hole in it!
"A bunch of trash!!" Darth Sidious was furious. He had already stood up from his throne, and incredibly powerful lightning was gathering in his hands.

Bang! !

The heavy metal doors of the bridge resounded with a loud crash. As the core area of ​​the warship, the bridge doors were 1.5 meters thick and made of the same durable steel as the hull armor. However, faced with the terrifying power of its "son," the doors were visibly dented.

BANG! BANG! BANG!!!
Punch after punch, the bridge gate finally gave way. With a final, deafening creak of metal fatigue, a gap was blasted through the gate!
The burly figure of his "son" stood at the door!

The moment the gate was blasted open, Darth Sidious raised his hand and unleashed two terrifying bolts of Force lightning! But his "son" neither dodged nor evaded; instead, he stood tall and used his body to block the lightning attack!

At this moment, the Supreme Judge also appeared behind "Son" wielding a spinning lightsaber. He followed closely behind, ready to join his Emperor in killing the Angel of Death.

“It’s been long enough, Darth Malthael…” Beneath the black hood was Darth Sidious’s hooked chin. He grinned, revealing two rows of yellowed teeth. “Heh heh heh heh… Now, are you still yourself? Hahahahaha!”

The "son" didn't speak, but simply walked over step by step.

"Now! Kill him!!" Darth Sidious roared. Without waiting, a Force storm formed without warning, merging with Force lightning and sweeping towards his "son" from all directions!

At the same time, the Supreme Judge, with an almost blind fanaticism, spun his lightsaber at high speed and thrust it straight at his "son" from behind! He had received a clear signal from His Majesty the Emperor, and under the influence of battle meditation, he had no other thought but obedience!
His dark side Force was amplified several times over, making him stronger than ever before. Even the lightsaber with its rotating hilt shone brightly under the powerful Force, its blood-red blade barely forming, gushing out powerful energy like a fountain.

Although it appears to be incredibly powerful, this is actually a manifestation of his inability to control such immense power.

Darth Sidious attacked "Son" with his powerful Force storm and Force lightning. He also saw the Supreme Inquisitor's attack, but his gaze fell on the gem that had fallen to the ground on the other side.

This is a gem given to him by the Night Queen, Gszerion. According to her, it can be used to summon her to the scene.

Their original agreement was that after luring out Darth Malthael, the two of them would work together to kill him directly. However, Gszerion did not respond to Darth Sidious's summons at all.

At that moment, Darth Sidious suddenly thought of an incredibly terrifying possibility!
The Night Queen, Geszerion, may have indeed heard the call and could indeed come here from within the gem, but she was unwilling to come.

Perhaps... she's waiting for an opportunity... an opportunity for Darth Sidious and Darth Malthus to both be severely weakened, and then she'll make her grand entrance, kill them both at the same time, and take control of everything!
The more he thought about this possibility, the deeper the lines on Darth Sidious's face seemed to grow; the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Therefore, in Darth Sidious's eyes, this gem that radiates multicolored light is a time bomb that could explode at any moment!
Without any hesitation, after considering this possibility, Darth Sidious turned and ran towards the side door on the other side of the bridge. Enhanced by the Force, he was incredibly fast, appearing on the other side of the bridge in the blink of an eye.

However, his escape left the Supreme Judge, who had rushed up behind his "son," alone there!

The "son" tore through the Force lightning and Force storm in front of him, only to see Darth Sidious fleeing from behind, while at the same time, the High Inquisitor's lightsaber was already stabbing towards his back.

What will happen then?
The Supreme Judge stared blankly at the person before him who looked remarkably like himself, then looked down at his own chest—his "son's" hand had pierced right through his chest! And his other hand had gripped the blade of the lightsaber!
How could this be?! The Supreme Judge's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Because the blade of a lightsaber is in a plasma state, it has no physical form! And the temperature reaches hundreds of thousands or even millions of degrees! How could this person hold such an intangible object directly in their hand and remain completely unharmed!

However, this was the Supreme Judge's last thought in his life, and he would never get an answer.

(This guy looks a lot like my "son," and he doesn't even have a name. It feels really awkward, so I'll just send him away. Take the lunchbox, no need to see him off.)
The "son" casually tossed the Supreme Judge's body aside, the blood on his hands seeping directly into his skin and being absorbed within seconds.

He glanced at the chaotic bridge, where everyone had grabbed various weapons and charged at him fearlessly.

The "son" raised his hand and grabbed at the air, instantly pulling everyone towards him with powerful primal force. In mid-air, they were crushed into a large ball of flesh! Countless drops of blood splattered from the ball, and a thick, pungent smell of blood immediately filled the air.

The "son's" gaze grew increasingly frenzied. He greedily took a deep breath, but then his eyes cleared somewhat. Finally, reluctantly, he discarded the enormous ball of flesh and went to the warship's control panel.

He quickly entered a command on the control panel that steered the warship, and the Lila super star destroyer suddenly accelerated and crashed straight into the planet Doku!
Having completed this maneuver, "Son" suddenly went berserk, smashing the warship's control panel to pieces with a single punch. He then turned to look in the direction Darth Sidious had fled, chasing and destroying everything in his path.

The Lila super star destroyer had completely lost control and was hurtling toward the planet.

The "son" gave chase, but after a few steps, he suddenly turned and slammed his head into the metal bulkhead beside him. His head smashed a huge dent into the bulkhead. The "son" shook his head and continued chasing in that direction.

Darth Sidious raced through the warship, having no intention of confronting his "son" directly. Although his "son's" condition was visibly poor, the thought of that old hag Göszerion lurking nearby, ready to reap the benefits, only strengthened his resolve not to fight his "son" here.

While "Son" was destroying the interior of the warship, he gave chase. However, Darth Sidious had already decided to escape. Inside the warship, a large number of Imperial stormtroopers, guided by combat meditation, rushed forward and opened fire on him.

Battle meditation is not mind control, but rather a process that instills fanaticism and unwavering conviction in one's goals. Under normal circumstances, if the stormtroopers were ordered to attack "the Son," they would scatter like birds upon witnessing the enemy's overwhelming power.

However, with the blessing of combat meditation, these soldiers no longer felt fear, and they would only carry out orders without hesitation!
Darth Sidious quickly reached the hangar platform and jumped onto an elite-class TIE Avenger fighter jet. However, before he could start the engine, a powerful force struck, and the TIE Avenger fighter jet was instantly smashed to pieces.

Darth Sidious was caught off guard in the cockpit and was punched hard in the chest by his "son," sending him flying dozens of meters away!

However, at this moment, the "son" was in very bad condition, and Darth Masaier was almost losing control of it!
"Awooo!!" The "son" roared to the sky, letting out a bestial cry.

At this moment, Darth Sidious had already taken the opportunity to get up from the ground, casually grabbed an ordinary TIE/LN light fighter from the side, crawled inside, started the engine, and accelerated to the maximum speed while still in the hangar. Almost in the blink of an eye, he flew out of the hangar and fled to the other side of the battlefield.

The "son" stumbled a few steps, his movements became distorted, and his limbs became completely uncoordinated.

Darth Masaier struggled to control "Son," leaping onto a Lambda-class shuttle parked in the Star Destroyer hangar. With his last shred of sanity, he steered the ship out of the hangar platform and immediately activated the hyperspace engine.

The interior of the super star destroyer Lyra was already in chaos. The Lambda-class shuttle that Darth Masaier had seized was not marked as an enemy aircraft, and the Imperial fleet had no idea that the shuttle had been stolen.

Therefore, the shuttle was still in the Imperial fleet's order of battle, and when the shuttle requested a hyperspace jump, the control center immediately provided the navigation coordinates.

A flash of white light, and Darth Masaier piloted the shuttle into hyperspace, vanishing instantly.

At this very moment, the Lila super star destroyer is resolutely heading towards the planet Doku! And it has already approached the planet's atmosphere!

The news that the Lila was out of control was immediately relayed to the other ships in the fleet, and commanders at all levels quickly devised plans to save the warship.

However, the control center of the Lila has been destroyed, making it impossible to transmit commands in time. Even shutting down the engine reactor is too late now; the inertia alone is enough to cause the warship to crash into the planet.

Just then, three Imperial-class Star Destroyers flew over without hesitation and crashed head-on into the Lyra!
