Anakin's promise to his beloved Padmé did not surprise them. The swarm, no longer subject to any restraints and gaining more and more resources, actually performed a feat that made everyone stunned and even horrified. Combat power!
The wars they launched have never failed. When the overwhelming sea of insects appears on the planet, or those huge Leviathan biological battleships appear in any galaxy, the battle is almost ready. It was declared over.
Because, even if it is as powerful as the Death Star, the ancient Sith destructive weapon developed by the Geonosians and jointly perfected by the Sith Lords Darth Sidious and Darth Tyralus before their death. , that equipped with a powerful doomsday weapon that could destroy a planet with one shot, was still unable to withstand the attack of the insect swarm in the end...
This unification war that took place throughout the galaxy lasted for nearly two years. It was two years after the resistance forces united by the original Galactic Republic races and planets, the out-of-control clone legions, and the remnants of the Alliance of Independent Systems resisted the zerg swarm. , they eventually lost all the inherent territories of the original Galactic Republic, and had to flee to the more distant edges of the outer ring of the Milky Way to continue their humble resistance movement.
However, at this time, the existence of those people has become insignificant!
Because, today on the planet Coruscant, Anakin Skywalker, the former Jedi Knight, now the King of the Insect Swarm, and the Lord of the Insect Swarm, has officially reorganized the Galactic Parliament and proclaimed himself emperor. The First Empire of the Galaxy as its capital was finally officially established!
"Padmé?"
"Why didn't I see you smile during today's ceremony? What were you thinking about?"
On the top of the Empire State Building, on the top floor of this tallest and largest building that was newly built as the imperial palace, I stood in front of the window and looked out at the increasingly prosperous science and technology industry with my arms around the waist of Queen Padmé Amidala. In the city of Lausanne, Anakin asked with some confusion.
"..."
However, Padmé, who was silent with her eyes closed, did not speak, but just leaned on the other person's shoulder obediently.
"you saw it……"
"In just two years, peace has been restored to the galaxy! From today on, you are the Queen of the Empire, and I am your Emperor! I am no longer the slave child on Tatooine, nor the company. The little Jedi has no control over his own destiny or your safety!"
"In addition to the twins in your belly, we will have other children, many more children..."
"Our Skywalker family and bloodline will continue in this galaxy and rule this place forever. No one can shake it!"
Looking at the elite insect guards patrolling the square around the Empire State Building and those huge and invulnerable ferocious Force Thunder Beasts, Anakin's heart was filled with pride and satisfaction.
Now, his empire has taken shape, and under the protection of his powerful insect swarms, no one can disturb the rule of the Skywalker family! Moreover, what made him even more delighted was that Padmé was diagnosed with twins on the day the empire was founded. This was an extremely auspicious thing for him, and even for the entire empire.
"Anakin..."
"You know? You suddenly become so strange, I almost don't recognize you anymore..."
Finally, Padmé spoke, and raised her head to glance at her husband, who was becoming radiant and energetic. She looked at the joy on his face, but she didn't know why but she couldn't be happy. .
"No!"
"I have indeed changed in front of others, but Padme, believe me, in front of you, I will never change. I swear, in the name of Skywalker?"
"Also, as you can see now, we have brought rare peace to the galaxy. Soon, the last die-hards will be wiped out by our invincible swarm of insects!"
"True peace and freedom have now arrived!"
Of course, arriving at the same time was the First Empire of the Galaxy, ruled by his dictator, Anakin Skywalker!
"But……"
"The free and democratic republic has died, and it was my husband who ruined it with his own hands...Anakin, I may never let go of this matter..."
Padmé sighed quietly.
"!!"
“What’s the point of freedom without peace?!”
Anakin's tone suddenly became a little excited, and the strength in his hands became stronger. However, when he saw Padme's face turning pale after being caught, he was stunned, and quickly let go and lowered his tone. .
"Sorry, Padmé, I didn't mean it to you..."
"only......"
"Let's do this. If you think I'm doing something wrong, you can urge or correct me in the future. You have to remember that you must go on with me and witness everything! You also know that in this world, the only thing I care about is and I’m afraid you are the only one left who is willing to listen to different opinions!”
Yes, because he was a Jedi Knight before, Anakin didn't know many people. The only people worthy of his unconditional trust, apart from Padme around him, were his swarms of insects. .
As for his former friends or teachers, those Jedi Knights, he had already confiscated their weapons and locked them up in the Jedi Temple. The insects were responsible for monitoring their residence and ordering them not to go out. Those people, whether it was Obi Wong and Qui-Gon Jinn also have far less influence on him than Padmé.
"correct!"
"Last time you said that there is no one else in the palace and you feel lonely. I have also thought of a solution. I have just given an order to the Queen of the Zero Swarm to incubate a batch of highly intelligent and intelligent people. An individual in human form."
"Soon, after their training is completed, I will dispatch them to your side to accompany you!"
Apart from the swarm and Padmé, Anakin does not trust anyone or any race, which is why there are only the swarm and the two of them in his empire building and palace.
"Anakin..."
Seeing that the other party was so considerate to her, Padmé opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing and just looked at each other silently.
It had been two years, and she knew that she couldn't change him... Maybe, she really could only tell him what he said, and she could only slowly influence or try to correct certain details, right?
As for what to do then, Padmé hasn't decided yet.
"!!"
"Padmé! Back off!"
Suddenly, Anakin stretched out his hand and gently pushed Padmé away, and after warning her in a low voice, he immediately took out his own beautifully decorated golden knife hanging on his waist that had never been used before. lightsaber, while the other hand took out an advanced blaster pistol.
"??"
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Anakin's words and seeing Anakin's reaction, Padmé was stunned for a moment before reacting, and then quietly stepped back and asked worriedly.
She knew what the other party's action meant. It must be that an enemy had sneaked into the palace!
However, it is very peaceful outside, and there are countless elite insect swarms guarding the palace. Who has the ability to sneak in and come here without being discovered by the insect swarms patrolling outside and the Hydralisk royal guards? ?
"Hi~!"
"Are you two okay?"
With bursts of light distortion, a very youthful and beautiful ghost agent and general Nova wearing a blue and white ghost agent close combat uniform appeared in front of Anakin and Padmé. .
"!!"
"It's you!!"
'Your Excellency Nova? '
"What are you doing here?"
After Qiqi and Padmé exclaimed, Anakin asked with an unkind expression.
Anakin did not let down his guard because the other party was someone they knew. After all, he vaguely felt that the force also told him that the other party was very strong, but the other party suddenly appeared in front of him and Padmé at this time. It's probably definitely not a good thing?
"ha!"
"Of course I'm here to reap the fruits of victory!"
Nova first looked at Anakin, who was clearly short at first, but now taller than herself, and then looked at Padmé, who had become more mature than herself, and her belly. She suddenly She explained her purpose of coming with a delicate smile.
Twelve years have passed, and the little boy and girl in front of me have grown up and even started to have babies, but she, Nova, is still the same, her appearance has not changed at all, this strange feeling , which made her think it was quite fun.
"!!"
"guard!!"
Hearing what the other party said, Anakin was agitated, and then realizing what the other party wanted to do, he began to call his swarm royal guards, intending to let those powerful elite force hydralisks and springtails come in to help him eliminate them. The powerful enemy in front of me is the same even if the opponent is a female general of the Federation of Heroes!
"alright!"
"Little guy, you don't have to scream. They saw me coming, but trust me, they won't obey your orders to deal with me!"
"I promise you that!"
Nova continued to smile coquettishly, and while talking, she began to wander around the palace dormitory, which was decorated very warm and beautiful by Anakin and Padmé.
"!!"
"Is this your conspiracy?!!!"
After waiting for a while, he found that no hydralisks or springtails had rushed in, but they were still guarding the door at this time... After thinking of some terrible things, Anakin looked at that little thing with dizzy eyes. The woman who didn't take him seriously roared loudly.
Because he has already begun to think: presumably, the little girl the head of state gave him the little bug on purpose, just for today, to send people to snatch the fruits of his victory, and to use the fruits of his hard work for many years to Have everything taken away from him?
And he has become a ridiculous clown, serving as a wedding dress for others?
So, after thinking about it, he felt that he had been greatly humiliated, so he resolutely raised the blaster pistol in his hand, planning to pounce on the opponent and fight to the death!
"Hey! Hey!"
"Don't worry, can you listen to what I have to say first? After all, if we really fight later, you will not be my opponent..."
"Besides, your pregnant wife is still here, don't you mind?"
Finally, when Nova saw that the other party gradually calmed down, and a look of sadness, anger and despair gradually appeared on his face, she no longer planned to continue teasing the other party, so she quickly explained her purpose of coming and that she did not really want to deprive him of her. The other party's intentions for controlling the insect swarm were slowly revealed.
Because she is indeed not here to deprive the other party of control over the insect swarm, she is just here to invite the other party to join their Federation of Heroes! Of course, it would be more accurate to say that she actually came to obtain the fruits of victory from others?
"..."
"It's ridiculous! This galaxy is mine, I conquered it with my own hands, and the insect swarm is mine too. Why should I surrender to you for no reason?!"
In fact, Anakin doesn't have much ill feelings towards the supposedly powerful Federation of Heroes and the Nova in front of him. However, he can't stand the other party's attitude of treating him as nothing just now and because the other party seems to have means. It's just the hostility caused by the insect swarm that can control or interfere with him.
"Correction!"
"This is not surrender, this is joining! We don't need you to surrender to anyone, we only need you to recognize that this galaxy is part of our federal territory, and that's it?"
Nova picked up a small ornament on the other party's table and looked at it, then threw it back randomly and said so.
"..."
"Does that make a difference?"
Anakin, who found that the opponent was not too hostile and felt that he might not be able to beat the opponent, hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly lowered the blaster pistol in his hand that had been moving with the opponent, and the golden lightsaber The magnetically confined plasma light blade was also put away.
"the difference?"
"Of course there is, at least there is that difference literally!"
When she walked to the window sill, she saw that a pot of flowers that Padmé had kept there seemed to be very beautiful. Nova reached out and rudely picked one of the flowers to play with.
"snort!"
"Your Excellency Kenova, I don't think I need to join you!"
"Oh? Little Anakin, can you tell me why?"
"..."
"Because now I control almost the entire galaxy. I think I may be more powerful than your country that only occupies one star sector?!"
Yes, in Anakin's view, the 'Federation of Heroes' and 'Kprulu Sector' that he had heard of more than once before were nothing more than a small star sector. How could they compare to his No. 1 star in the galaxy? Compared to empire?
In his opinion, if his swarm had not been controlled by the other party due to some backdoor that he did not know about, he should have asked the other party to join and surrender to his first empire in the galaxy at this time!
"..."
After hearing what Anakin said, Nova turned around looking a little shocked. She didn't even bother to mess with the flower that Padmé had grown so well that she had picked off.
"Well?"
"What, Mr. Nova, do you have nothing to say?"
Anakin, who felt that he must have been fooled, mocked him without any politeness at all.
"Why!"
"Little guy, ignorance is not your fault... Well, here is some information about the rise of our federation, as well as the tip of the iceberg of our specific strength. You can take a look at it first, and then consider what I just requested. ?Originally, you are only eligible to see this kind of information after you agree to join, but I can make an exception and let you see it first?"
"Tsk!"
"Forget it, after all, I hate being a diplomat, so let's just do it!"
After saying that, Nova first threw the flower in her hand nonchalantly into the arms of Padmé, who was looking at her distressedly, and then opened an invisible flower in her hand, and blended it. A universal tool that has the function of the Lord God's bracelet, he found a transparent object and pulled it open, called up an internal report from the tablet-like data terminal, and then threw it to Anakin. On the table in front of me.
"Would you like to see it yourself first?"
"Don't worry, you can take your time and watch, I'm very patient now!"
After signaling the other party to quickly pick it up and browse it, Nova turned around again, and once again plucked it from the pot of flowers with the tangled expression of Padmé, the queen of the empire, who wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it. Another flower and played with it carefully.
"..."
Although he was full of doubts, looking at the other party's appearance, Anakin didn't say anything in the end. He directly reached out and picked up the data terminal device from the table and browsed it quickly.
"snort!!"
At first, he was full of disdain and snorted coldly.
"?!"
"..."
However, after a few minutes, his expression became serious.
'! ! '
"This, this is impossible..."
Half an hour later, cold sweat began to seep out from Anakin's back and forehead unconsciously, which worried Padmé who was worried about a certain female admiral who was messing around and touching her things but dared not say anything. He walked over and looked at him with worried eyes.
However, Anakin didn't have time to explain. He just gave Padmé an ugly and forced smile before continuing to look down... He did not doubt the authenticity of the information the other party gave him, because the Force and his judgment told him that everything should be true!
"..."
"hateful!!"
Nearly an hour later, although he had only read a rough outline, probably less than 1% of the historical information summarizing the development of the Federation of Heroes, Anakin could no longer stand it anymore... He just Then he turned off the mobile data terminal device with a pale face and put it on the table tremblingly.
"Your Excellency General Nova!"
"I finally understand, you just want to annex me! If I don't agree, you will definitely go directly over me to order the insect swarms, am I right?"
Anakin said with a sad smile.
He knew that the other party should have that ability, because the larva was given to him by the other party's terrifying little girl head of state who was said to be more advanced than the existence of the world itself! If that was indeed the case, judging from the tip of the iceberg he had glimpsed in the information, General Nova in front of him could definitely do that kind of thing!
"No!"
"Our Federation of Heroes is a very, very compatible country. We don't want to annex you, because there is no need! We just see and recognize your potential, so we want to invite you to join, that's all... In short, in addition to being loyal to our head of state and obeying our great constitution, we will not issue any illegal administrative orders to you. You are still the emperor of this galaxy, and you can also obtain more powers and special powers. , just like what you saw in the information, even eternal life!”
"You see, our conditions are very favorable, aren't they?"
Nova does not think highly of this small galaxy. After all, their federation now occupies and can radiate too many planes, and if it weren't for the force in this world, if it weren't for this galaxy, it would have been given to them by the other party. Unification, if it weren't for the fact that she could enjoy the fruits of her labor and bring back a relatively complete galaxy to the Federation, if she hadn't been more optimistic about the little guy in front of her, she wouldn't have gone to all the trouble to talk to him, and she would have been direct Control the insect swarm and then forcefully take over everything here.
"Ah!"
"Do I still have a chance to refuse now?"
Anakin glanced at Padmé beside him, then asked with a sad smile.
He never expected that the results he had spent twelve years of hard work on, the supreme achievements he was so proud of just now, would actually be so impressive in front of this young and shameless-looking Admiral Nova. Being so humble, so that the other party is dismissive?
"certainly……"
"No!"
Nova opened her hand, and the flower she picked didn't know what happened to it. It gradually withered, and then quickly turned into a pile of ash and dissipated in the air.
Her meaning is actually clear. It is best if the other party agrees. If he does not agree, she will directly use coercive means to force the other party to agree, just like the beautiful Queen of Naboo who the other party used force to snatch as his wife. , and then she was pregnant with a child?
That's right, in Nova's opinion, Padmé must have been kidnapped by Anakin to become the queen. Otherwise, the other person wouldn't have looked so gloomy just before she showed up. And if it weren't for the fact that she saw the other party protecting Padmé immediately, looking like she was a treasure, I believe she might have killed the other party with one shot!
"..."
"If that's the case, then I agree! Tell me, what do you need me to do?!"
Anakin gave in and was not prepared to insist on more. He just hoped that the conditions proposed by the other party would not be too harsh.
"It's not necessary for the time being. You just need to manage your galaxy... There will be a dedicated person to explain other things to you. After all, I am a general of the Federation. Where can I have time to waste time here with a little emperor like you? "
"Anyway, let's do this for now!"
After saying that, Nova planned to leave, not intending to stay in this boring place any longer.
"etc!"
"Your Excellency Nova!"
"I don't understand. You could have refused to show me this information, because it would only make me unwilling to rule this galaxy. When I become more powerful, maybe I will snatch everything that belongs to you?"
I don’t know why, maybe it’s the unwillingness to admit defeat, or maybe I want to embarrass the other party to vent my anger? Anyway, by some strange combination of circumstances, just when the other party turned around and was about to walk out the door, Anakin suddenly spoke and reminded him maliciously.
"If you want to rob you, just do it! I definitely won't mind..."
"correct!"
"In Naboo, we sent you several advanced battleships and some officials with experience in governing the galaxy. If you need it, can you ask them to form an imperial council for you?"
Although she understood Anakin's words, Nova still walked out without mind at all, and told Anakin something at the same time.
"snort!"
"You are... trying to control my empire?"
"No!"
"Little guy, that is the federation's selfless assistance to the participating countries. If you want it or not, the choice is yours!"
"Really? Sir Kenova, what if I choose not to accept it?"
"That's up to you!"
"But I think you'd better accept it. Believe me, your insect swarms are good at fighting, but they won't be good helpers in governing the country...Really, that's the truth, they will definitely take care of it." Your galaxy is in a mess, and we know that very well!"
Nova waved her hand behind and gave the other party a kind reminder. Then, when she walked to the door, she suddenly stopped and turned around, just ten meters away from Ana. Jin and Padmé looked at each other.
"Ambition is a good thing, little one!"
"but......"
"You will find out in the future that what we people think is powerful, that endless power, and your infinite army, but in the eyes of some people, such as our head of state, it has no meaning! "
"What we have now is just a little game she plays after dinner..."
"The truth is so cruel!"
"never mind!"
"There are some things you may not be able to accept now, but you will naturally understand them in the future... I just hope that by then, you won't be too desperate?"
After saying that, Nova paused and gave Anakin an extremely charming look. Seeing that the other person was stunned by her, she looked at the person behind him and looked at her with a hint of anger. After seeing the former Queen of Naboo, she left with a coquettish smile. After opening the door and taking a few steps outside, she disappeared strangely. It is not known whether she became invisible or was transported to another place or plane. .
"..."
It wasn't until the other party disappeared that Anakin came back to his senses and slowly turned his head to look at Padmé.
"look!"
"Padmé, this is how the world is. Either you force me or I force you... No matter when, only the strong will always have the power to speak and survive..."
"You said I deprived the Galaxy Republic of its freedom and democracy, but didn't they deprive me of my freedom?!"
Anakin sighed, walked up to Padmé, held her shoulders with both hands, and said in a tone of helplessness and grief.
"Maybe, but I won't forgive you for what you did to the Republic!"
Yes, the free and democratic Galactic Republic was once the belief of Padmé and other members of the Parliament, but now Anakin has shattered their beliefs alive and unreasonably turned it into a feudal dictatorship An imperial country!
"Thank you, but I never thought I needed your forgiveness..."
"Because I don't regret everything I did back then and now. If I could go back in time and make a choice between losing you and getting you, I would still do that. I would rather you never forgive me. It’s best in this life!”
After saying that, Anakin opened his arms and hugged Padmé deeply.
If he had not chosen to do this at the beginning, but had honestly become a Jedi Knight, probably now, even if he and Padmé were not separated by the elders of the Jedi Council, they would have to separate for various reasons. Right?
And that kind of thing is something he will never be able to forgive himself for! !
"Anakin..."
Padmé didn't resist, just closed her eyes and accepted the other person's hug and caress.
Maybe she knew she couldn't resist him, so she just let him do what he did? Maybe she didn't want to resist, but she was just feeling selfish or proud? Sometimes, she is also vaguely proud of the other person's great achievements, even if none of those things are in line with her values?
"Padmé..."
"bring it on!"
"I will take you back to the lake area of Naboo. That house is still there. It is well protected by the insects! From now on, we will live there forever!"
That was what Anakin had promised Padmé, and now, he felt it was time to fulfill his promise, because now he did have the ability to satisfy everything she wanted, and he also needed to accept it. Make a trip and see what Admiral Nova left for him?
"Anakin..."
"You...you still remember that incident?"
Obviously, Padmé looked a little surprised and a little touched.
"Padmé, I will remember anything about you!"
Anakin didn't say anything, he just looked at Padmé firmly, his eyes full of endearment and affirmation.
"Anakin..."
"how?"
"kiss Me……"
"..."
