The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

886: Dreamland, Illusionland (2)

The lightsaber represents the belief of the Jedi Knights. When a Jedi gives up his lightsaber, it means she gives up her identity as a Jedi.

Mace Windu picked up the lightsaber, pressed the button, and with a swish, the green light blade popped out instantly, adding a brilliance to the colorful jungle.

"You shouldn't be here." A hoarse voice came suddenly.

Master Windu reacted very quickly, and in an instant he came to the direction of the sound, and he only saw a figure flashing past!

"Master Bilaba!" Master Windu shouted.

The man stopped and turned around.

Indeed, it is one of the members of the Supreme Council of the Jedi Order, one of the best sword masters, and also his most admired apprentice-Depa-Bilaba.

But the reason why Mace Windu was able to recognize her was entirely because they had known each other for decades, because the current Depa Bilaba had almost changed into a different person.

Her figure had lost more than a circle, her cheeks were sunken, her brows were dull, and her long hair was roughly cut off, leaving only short hair like weeds. The robe she was wearing was already dirty and torn, like a beggar, a piece of dirty cloth was wrapped around her forehead, covering the precious pearl on her forehead.

Master Windu knew that Depa Birabha was a Chalactan. This very religious and mystical race had a ritual of nailing gemstones into a person's forehead to express the person's achievements. .

And these gems are called Shalaktan, the same as the name of their race.

When the first trial is completed, the first gemstone will be nailed into the bridge of the nose, and when the person becomes the most outstanding person, a second, larger gemstone will be nailed into the center of the brow.

Depa Bilaba has two gems. The one on the bridge of the nose is called 'Explorer', which shows her perseverance in the process of exploring the true knowledge of the force, and the one on the center of the brow is called 'Supreme One', which is the recognition of her achievements .

So now, what is Depa-Bilaba trying to express by covering up the 'Most High' gem between his brows?

"You shouldn't be here, teacher. At least, not now," said Depa-Bilaba.

"I received a message from you, so I am here. I must come." Master Windu said in a deep voice.

"Balawai people... this war is not over yet, you shouldn't come." Depa Bilaba shook his head.

"I came here to find you, and at the same time, to end this war."

"The power of one person cannot be achieved. Even if this person is you."

"What happened to you!" Master Windu asked.

"I want to end this war... There is only one path to choose," Depa-Biraba murmured.

"Your state is not normal at all! You are getting weaker! The dark side is eroding your body! Your body is now a battleground between light and darkness, and this will not make you stronger, it will only make you stronger." You ended up being a useless person! Come back with me immediately! Back to Coruscant!"

Depa-Bilaba shook his head, his body gradually became transparent, and finally turned into countless colorful light spots flying away.

Only then did Master Windu realize that what was in front of him was actually an illusion!

So, where is the real Depa-Bilaba?

He looked around, and the surrounding real and illusory scenes made him unable to distinguish the direction at all, nor could he distinguish the truth from the false. Master Windu's face became extremely serious, and he began to focus on the illusion in front of him, using his powerful force to perceive it!

In order to concentrate, he sat cross-legged and entered a state of meditation.

At this moment, he saw more and more things, more and more...

He saw Coruscant burning, saw the fall of countless Jedi warriors, saw overwhelming triangular warships sweeping every corner of the galaxy, and saw the gear flag of the Galactic Republic being roughly torn off, trampled on, and set on fire...

He also saw the palace rising from the ground in Coruscant, and the dark, deep, black hole-like person sitting on the throne!

Yes, he saw the defeat of the war, and the rise of the dark side...

If it were someone else, they would have already panicked and lost their minds in such a scene, thus becoming a slave to the dream. However, Master Windu's will is still extremely firm, not even wavering at all...

Even if the road ahead is bumpy, even if it is destined to fail, as long as I am still there, as long as the lightsaber in my hand is still there, it is impossible to stop fighting!

So what if the Galactic Republic is destroyed! One day, I will stand among the ruins and rebuild the Republic! When people die, they go to train one by one. When a house collapses, they rebuild it brick by brick! As for the shadow on the throne, it will definitely fall under my sword!

Master Windu suddenly opened his eyes, and an extremely complicated pattern appeared in his eyes. At this moment, he has found the core in countless environments——

Break it!

This is the Force talent of Master Windu! He can see the breaking point of everything, so he can directly grasp the core of how things work. Seeing the broken point of the future, he will control his own destiny, and seeing the broken point of a thing, he will be able to smash it into pieces.

And now, he saw it!

Swish! ! Pulling out the purple lightsaber, it stabbed into the void without hesitation!

At this moment, it was as if countless glass shattered around him, and the countless illusions disappeared instantly, and the depressing and crashing atmosphere also disappeared instantly.

However, less than half a second later, everything around him reappeared, and the illusion once again enveloped everything around him.

But Mace Windu has seen it! I saw what he was looking for! On this planet, the source of the dark side!

...

Darth Malthael and Darth Lilim also walked in the jungle.

Looking at the endless phantoms around him, Darth Malthael was also constantly being tortured from his own heart, but after experiencing everything on the planet Dagobah, he already knew the dream of the planet Harunkar. Prepare

He saw Darth Plagueis, he saw Darth Tenebrous, he even saw Darth Sidious... Countless dark phantoms surrounded him, cursing, biting, tearing his His body was torn to pieces, eating away at his fourth civilization bit by bit!

However, Darth Malthael faced everything calmly. For a Sith Lord, this illusion, which was completely fatal and restrained, could not shake him at all!

Ever since he temporarily took Darth-Plagueis as his teacher, or even when he first accepted the Kushen mothership, he has discarded all unnecessary things in his mind.

He has almost no desire at all, and neither sex nor money can impress him. There is only one thing left - the Milky Way!
