Warhammer: Emperor's Ravenbringer

Chapter 173 Ravens are very good at protecting their cubs

Due to the corruption and inefficiency of the Republic, many galaxies have long been dissatisfied with the Republic Parliament.

When the war broke out, many galaxies declared independence.

Join the Federation of Independent Systems, or choose to fight on your own
The competition among various forces has made the situation more chaotic.

The Republic was unable to resolve the issue of the Federation of Independent Systems in the first place, causing the war to continue for several years with no sign of an end in sight.
The two sides exchanged fire in star fields all over the universe.

Several large-scale battles were fought before and after.

Repeated battles for some important star regions have also resulted in countless people being displaced and their families broken up.

During the war, many legendary stories and heroic figures emerged.

For example, Jedi Masters such as Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan from the Republic.

General Grievous and Asajj Ventress from the Federation.

Even the clone troopers had outstanding clone commanders such as Rex, Cody and Fox.

The warring parties tried their best to gain the support of neutral galaxies and races.

He made promises one after another and persuaded the Mandalorians, Miraluka and other races to join the war, further expanding the scale of the war.

During this period, Anakin grew into a handsome boy under the guidance of Raven.

After confirming that he could harness the Force within him without being affected, the Emperor implanted a Force Gene Engine in him, enhanced his mental protection, and taught him military tactics.

Under the guidance of the Emperor and the encouragement of Raven, Anakin stepped onto the stage of cosmic war.

With his powerful skills and outstanding military talent, he won many wars.
Become the brightest star in the Republic.

He is considered by countless people to be the son of prophecy, the legendary chosen one.

The number of followers is increasing.

In time, he will be able to use this reputation to be elected ruler of the Republic.

Padmé's feelings for him also quickly heated up during their long time together.

During a tryst, when their love reached its peak, they naturally broke the taboo and ate the forbidden fruit.

Padmeine left early because she was busy.

Anakin was alone and immersed in endless happiness.

When he walked out of the room, he found that Raven had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Mr. Raven," Anakin saluted hastily, a guilty look on his face.

"Young boys and girls in love eventually break the taboo," Raven teased.

"I'm sorry." Anakin bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "I failed to live up to your expectations and indulged in love between men and women."

"It's no big deal." Raven shook his head, "Emotions are something that everyone can't control. It's beautiful, isn't it? The blending of affection and love, the collision of souls, makes you feel integrated."

Anakin blushed and nodded imperceptibly.

The raven smiled, then asked a pointed question.

"I'm curious, how would you feel if Padme died in front of you?"

No! "Anakin's face showed a look of horror, "Mr. Raven, I know I was wrong. Please don't hurt her, I will stay away from her, and I will never go against your teachings again."

"I don't intend to hurt her, silly child." Raven shook his head, "I just want to tell you that everyone has the right to enjoy this kind of beauty. And your duty is to protect the weak, so that they have the right to enjoy this beauty without being hurt."

"I will not object to you and Padme being together, because you are not cold tools. The love between you will make you understand the beauty of the world and the weight of your responsibilities."

"You want to be with Padmé, you want to be with her forever. Once you lose her, you will lose your soul and become a walking corpse."

"Ordinary men and women who love each other also think the same way, but they are powerless to fight against disasters and wars and can only be forced to endure the suffering brought by fate."

"And your duty is to protect and guide them. When you feel lost and want to give up this duty, think about yourself today, and think about how those innocent people died because of your abandonment and depravity, and how the people who loved them were suffering and crying alone."

After the raven finished speaking, it left.

Anakin was left there thinking.

No matter which universe, for a boy to grow into a man, a woman is always needed.

It seems like the Creator designed it this way.

When a boy has a lover, they grow up at an alarming rate.

After that night of eating the forbidden fruit, Anakin became a real man.

He took on more responsibilities, was more active on the front lines, and thought about how to reduce the suffering of civilians caused by the war.

He traveled to all parts of the universe, defeated the separatist forces, and used his eloquence to convince those ignorant enemies and make them realize the value of peace.

Thanks to his efforts, the Separatist Federation, which was in a stalemate with the Republic, quickly fell into a disadvantage.

Unwilling to accept defeat, Count Dooku assembled a large army and used a secret hyperspace channel to raid Coruscant.

At the same time, they also brought with them a carefully prepared destructive weapon - the Death Star.

The Death Star has a diameter of 160 kilometers, a behemoth comparable to the satellite of Coruscant.

Much of the interior is devoted to the systems needed to maintain the oversized laser cannons and generators.

The central area is an extra-large material reaction chamber.

The Death Star has an exaggerated network of ion engines.

Can convert reactor power into required thrust.

There are also 123 hyperspace drive fields connected into a single navigation matrix.

Allowing the Death Star to reach any location in the universe at will.

The power of the main gun is extremely terrifying.

Can easily shatter a star.

Completely wipe the planet out of the void.

Using the Death Star, the Rebels easily defeated the Republic fleet protecting Coruscant.

They kidnapped Palpatine, the chairman of the Senate, and many senators.

News was also released that a Death Star strike was planned to completely destroy Coruscant.

Jedi Knights scattered across the galaxy rushed back and launched a raid together, breaking into the Death Star to stop this horrific atrocity.

Anakin was also involved.

He would never allow so many innocent people to die in the war.

Fierce battles broke out between the two sides in various areas of the Death Star.

With his powerful fighting ability, Anakin rushed into the bridge where Count Dooku was.

But he saw a scene that confused him.

Chairman Palpatine, who was supposed to be taken hostage, sat in front of Count Dooku and gave orders to the rebel leader, asking him to prepare the Death Star beam as soon as possible to destroy Coruscant.

"Who are you?" Anakin demanded angrily.

He and Palpatine had had a pretty good relationship over the years.

He never thought that this war that affected countless people was related to the other side.

"I have many titles. Which one do you want to hear? Some people call me Chairman Palpatine, while others call me the Dark Lord of the Sith."

Palpatine removed his Force disguise, revealing a face that had become hideous due to long-term practice of the dark force.

Anakin practiced two completely different forces, light and dark.

But no problems occurred.

This is thanks to Raven's teaching.

Raven used his authority and knowledge to find a balance between the two forces.

"Dark Lord of the Sith!" Anakin was furious. "So you planned all this? You teamed up with the traitors to start the Clone Wars?"

"Yes, during the Millennium War, the Republic and the Jedi destroyed the Sith Empire. I was forced to lie dormant and secretly plan revenge."

"From now on, the Republic and the Jedi will become history, and the Sith will rise again."

Palpatine looked at Anakin, with a look of satisfaction that he had manipulated everyone.

"Join my side, Anakin. You have amazing talents. With the help of Sith mysticism, you can even gain immortality."

"I will never go along with you." Anakin shook his head. "You have brought too much suffering to those innocent people. You must accept your punishment."

"Stupid, those guys don't deserve any sympathy." Palpatine's voice suddenly turned cold, "For those who accomplish great things, a little sacrifice means nothing."

"Self-righteous." Anakin stopped talking nonsense.

There is nothing to say to these lunatics.

The red-armored guards rushed at Anakin, weapons drawn.

These soldiers are well-trained and were trained by Palpatine specifically for Jedi Knights.

Anakin swung his lightsaber to block the soldiers' attacks and released a Force blast to knock them away, breaking the encirclement.
With Raven's years of teaching and the power of the Force engine, Anakin's combat skills have already reached the pinnacle.

Anakin dodged an attack from a red-armored soldier and chopped off the other's head with a backhanded sword.

Then he stretched out another hand, and shining thunder suddenly erupted, killing the other two enemies.

The whole process went smoothly.

Those trained red-armored soldiers were good at suppressing ordinary Jedi Knights, but it was a fantasy to think that they could suppress Anakin. They were killed to pieces by Anakin in a short while.

"Let me test your strength."

Count Dooku threw off his cloak and joined the battlefield with lightsaber in hand.

The red sword blade cut through the air, leaving black arcs wherever it passed.

The moment when lightsabers collided.

The confident Count Dooku's face changed drastically.

He could feel his arms shaking from the reaction.

The strength of the young man in front of him is far superior to his.

The only thing he can rely on is his rich combat experience.

But Anakin was a fast learner.

Originally, Count Dooku could fight him back and forth.

After a while, Anakin mastered Count Dooku's moves with the help of the Force engine.

When Count Dooku attacked again, he slightly moved away and then slashed at Count Dooku's arm with his sword.

Count Dooku was unable to react and one of his arms was cut off, causing him to scream.

Anakin took advantage of the victory and chopped off the opponent's head with one sword.

Thus ended the rebellious leader who had been causing trouble.

After dealing with Count Dooku and the guards, Anakin looked at Palpatine and pointed at the headless corpse not far away.

"If you surrender now, you can still stand trial. If you continue to resist, you will end up like him."

Palpatine laughed.

"Kill me? I'm the chairman of the Republic Congress. Can you afford the consequences?"

"You are a Dark Lord of the Sith," Anakin shouted.

"Who knows? If I die here, people will only think that I am Chairman Palpatine, and you are the murderer who killed the Senate Chairman."

Palpatine showed a cunning and vicious expression.

He activated his lightsaber and assumed a fighting stance.

"No matter what, you will lose, Anakin. If I kill you, I will seize the power of the entire Republic and annihilate the Extinct Knights and the bird that taught you."

"If you kill me, the message I prepared in advance will be sent. The culprits of this war are you, those damn Jedi, and that bird. No matter what, I will win."

"The universe will fall into complete chaos, with warlords everywhere and wars everywhere."

"Shame on you!" Anakin yelled angrily.

A war broke out between the two sides.

Palpatine released the dark force he obtained from the Sith planet.

He had been planning this ever since the Emperor performed a divine act and slew his apprentice, Sith Maul.

According to ancient Sith ritual, he formed himself into a vessel for the dark side of the Force.

The price is to fall completely into darkness and become a puppet of the dark force.

But he also gained infinite power because of it.

Endless dark force poured into Palpatine's body, making him infinitely close to a god.

Light swords collided, and a terrifying impact broke out.

The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce.

The entire area was torn apart by the force they unleashed.

Unfortunately, Palpatine was ultimately unable to control the terrifying dark power, and was discovered by Anakin, who used the Force engine.

After another confrontation, the lightsaber in Palpatine's hand flew out.

The whole person was blown away by the force storm like a torn sack.

He lost.

Lost at the hands of Anakin.

"I want everyone to be buried with me."

Palpatine yelled frantically.

He activated the Death Star's attack sequence.

All that was seen was a bright Death Star beam shooting towards Coruscant.

"Go to hell, all of you." Palpatine looked crazy.

The next second, ripples appeared in the space-time near Coruscant.

The star-destroying Death Star beam was absorbed and disappeared.

Do not!
Palpatine, who saw this scene, showed despair on his face.

All his plans failed.

He couldn't even find someone to take the blame for him.

"Your plot has failed."

Anakin walked over and stabbed Palpatine through the body with his sword.

"Even if I die, I will drag you down with me and help you become a traitor."

Palpatine showed a cruel look.

He condensed the dark force and injected it into Anakin's body, causing Anakin's power to surge again, and he became the most powerful force user in history.

Anakin didn't understand the other party's intention.

But soon, he understood the other party's sinister intentions.

At this time, the Jedi warriors who were fighting outside rushed in.

They saw Anakin, whose body was surrounded by the aura of the dark force, and Chairman Palpatine, who was pierced by a sword and was about to die.

"Traitor." Palpatine pointed at Anakin with his last bit of strength, and then he died.

"You are a traitor?" Obi-Wan looked at Anakin with shock on his face.

The dark force in Anakin was too strong.

It was so strong that it seemed as if he was the embodiment of darkness.

From ancient times to the present, there has never been such a powerful dark force gathered in one person.

Yoda, Mace Winshe and other Jedi Masters raised their lightsabers, surrounded Anakin and took fighting stances.

"I am not." Anakin explained: "Palpatine is the traitor. He is the Dark Lord of the Sith."

"Now, we only see that you killed Chairman Palpatine and the dark power in you. Put down your weapons immediately, otherwise we will have to take you down by force." Mace Wenshe shouted sternly.

"Child, you must lay down your weapons and accept interrogation." Master Yoda also spoke, "The Republic's army is outside, you can't escape."

"I'm not." Anakin tried to explain.

But the Jedi Knights just wanted him to surrender immediately, otherwise they would use force.

For a moment, Anakin was speechless.

"Take him down first." A Jedi Master said, "Then we can talk about the others."

"Try not to kill him," said Master Yoda.

Many Jedi Masters rushed forward.

For a moment, lightsabers danced wildly and the Force surged.

Anakin didn't want to hurt anyone, so he just defended.

But no matter how strong he was, he couldn't withstand the siege of so many Jedi Masters.

After a while, he was covered with wounds and bleeding profusely.

"Surrender, Anakin." Obi-Wan persuaded, "If you have been wronged, we will give you justice."

"I didn't do it." Anakin raised his head. "Why should I surrender?"

"Still being stubborn." Mace Winshe walked towards Anakin with a lightsaber in hand.

"Do you think I'm dead?" A space crack appeared and a raven jumped out. "You bully me like this?"

"Anakin said Palpatine is a Sith Lord, so he is a Sith Lord. What's the point of killing him? If you guys keep on nagging me, believe it or not, I will let Big Guy announce that you Jedi are in league with the Sith, maliciously starting a war to seize power."

"Let's see whether the people of the Republic believe his conspiracy theories or you."

Raven's arrogance made many Jedi Knights who questioned Anakin frown and take a step back.

"Mr. Raven." Anakin's eyes instantly turned red when he saw Raven.

No matter how sensible or powerful he is, he is still just a teenager after all.

Even if I am bullied, I still hope to get support from my elders.
