now.
Within the atmosphere of Coruscant.
There are countless super-giant buildings standing, and their metal and mirror surfaces reflect the light of stars, creating a lot of "light pollution".
shorten the distance.
These super-giant buildings can be found arranged in a "well" shape, with an unimaginable number of intricate pipes, tracks and aerial arch bridges interspersed among them.
There are also a large number of airships that look like old-fashioned vehicles, shuttling between pipes and buildings.
And if you look vertically downward, there is only an endless abyss between the buildings.
At first glance.
You don't need to look carefully to know that those who can withstand the sunlight and feel the light are all glamorous and belong to the upper class of the First Empire's political class.
Either a wealthy businessman, a political figure, or someone clinging to something in between.
As for what life is like in the Endless Abyss, it can only be said that it is almost the same as the lowest level of the hive world in Universe 03 (Warhammer 40k).
Killings, riots, panic, mutations, etc. are all normal.
It was obvious that Shangcong was the center of power of the First Empire, but it could not change the life of the lower class near Chichi. Such a regime, let alone make the territory of Galaxy 101 prosperous.
On the sunny side of the northern hemisphere, there is the only natural mountain range exposed above, and the nearby buildings, airships, etc. are all very luxurious.
After all, there are natural creations here, and it is difficult for ordinary people to reach here.
But since tens of thousands of Star Destroyers appeared within the gravitational range of Coruscant in an instant, everything seemed to have pressed the pause button.
Immediately afterwards, an uncontrollable atmosphere of panic quickly spread among the upper levels of Coruscant.
It is obviously the capital with the most rigorous defense and the most concentrated military power in the entire First Empire. Why can the enemy troops arrive so unimpeded?
However, what most powerful people don't know is that half of the so-called powerful First Empire in their eyes has fallen.
If these dignitaries were informed of this, before the enemy...that is, the supernumerary fleet of the Human Empire arrived, it might have become the "ownership" of the Human Empire in advance.
After all, these powerful people are extremely good at rebellion.
at the same time.
Not far from the natural mountain range, there is a "Metal Continent" that is at least a thousand meters above other areas and close to the clouds above.
Moreover, on this metal continent, there is a huge palace that is far larger than other buildings in Coruscant, with a majestic and glorious appearance...
"What on earth...what on earth is..."
In the hall where the king sat, old and helpless questioning voices resounded.
Sitting on the throne was a "thing" wearing a black robe, with pale skin, an ugly and extremely old face, looking up at the exquisite murals above the hall.
Install the latest version. 】
But at this time, it had no intention of appreciating the artwork, because it was the apparent ruler of the First Empire——
Palph Palpatine.
As for the obvious...
The main reason is that the territory of the First Empire is too huge, and many local warlords are self-reliant. Even if it wants to control it, it cannot control it.
However, compared with the enemies that appeared not long ago, they are like earthworms and the sky. They are not at the same level of existence.
As an emperor and as a dark force (psionic) user, Parv was not as reckless as the previous dark female warrior, who looked directly at the "icy sun" of hyperspace.
It didn't dare to perceive the other party, but it understood that the other party was there, as if it had stepped into their first empire from other dimensions.
More importantly, I don't know how they angered each other. The "cold sun" became brighter and dazzling, and even forced the gods it respected and worshiped away.
The disappearance of his biggest support, and the fact that the other party was able to disintegrate half of the First Empire in just ten days, made Parv scared to death...
What's more, it is already old, having lived for almost three hundred years. It has tasted all the ups and downs, glory and wealth, as well as the supreme power given to it by the gods, and has almost no regrets.
The only regret is probably that I failed to understand the true meaning of the dark side from the gods. Otherwise, it would be able to "enhance the dimension" like the gods.
Under the throne.
It is a group of officials and generals who are "loyal" to Parv, as well as many red-clad guards wearing red armor, red robes and masks, but they are even more anxious.
They are not as relieved as Parv. The development of the First Empire to its current level is inseparable from their efforts. The most important thing is, who can let go calmly after gaining unprecedented power?
"It's just 10,000 Imperial-class ships!"
"Our ground-based and orbital weapons can be easily destroyed as long as they are fully deployed!"
"Yes, that's right!"
"But..." However, a discordant voice sounded: "The latest news we just received shows that our monitoring and fire control systems have failed and we are unable to complete the lock on the enemy fleet."
"This is not the most serious thing." Another general in military uniform said in a deep voice: "My men have already fought with the enemy's ground troops. In addition to the sporadic giants previously rumored, more of them are former empires. Stormtroopers.
Moreover, all those traitors were full of fighting spirit, shouting "for the emperor" and "for the empire", which further confirmed that the enemy leader had the means to completely control people's hearts or wills. "
"this...!"
After hearing these words, all the "loyal ministers" suddenly became speechless.
The failure of the fire control system and the complete control of the means, no matter which one it is, means that the fall of Coruscant is doomed.
Even though they urgently recalled a large number of dark warriors not long ago, so that the number of dark warriors on Coruscant, especially near the palace, increased from thousands to nearly one hundred thousand, but...
They have no confidence.
Looking at the emperor they were loyal to, he looked so old now, with no unwillingness in his expression or eyes, you knew that their emperor had actually "surrendered".
Seeing this scene, some "loyal ministers" felt cold and thought about whether to defect to the enemy...
No, it is to be loyal to the human empire and to abandon the dark side for the bright side.
There's no way, during Palf Palpatine's ambitious and powerful period, these people were bound by interests, but now? They are more inclined to "a flowing dynasty and an iron-clad family".
The enemy is right.
But that doesn’t mean we will still be enemies in the future.
In addition, Parv no longer had the determination to fight, so he might as well surrender as soon as possible and join the team "for the empire" and "for the emperor".
It is said that the enemy is a staunch human racist, and they are all humans. The resources and countless connections in their hands, their self-perception, and their status after surrender are much higher than those of the stormtroopers... Bar.
However, at this moment, a loud sound of "Winter!" interrupted everyone's thinking.
Hear the sound and go.
At this time, the door of the hall where the king sat was knocked open from the outside inward by the invisible brute force. Along with that brute force, more than a dozen red-clothed taboos with broken bones and limbs like jelly entered the hall. Guard the body.
"Plop! Plop!"
The sound of the body falling heavily to the ground echoed in the hall, and the hundreds of red guards standing on both sides of the hall immediately moved to guard the hall.
Soon, the red-clothed imperial troops set up four semicircular formations and swung the tips of their war spears towards the gate.
Even if they were wearing masks, they could guess that the expressions of these forbidden troops must be extremely solemn, because the invisible brute force that killed their colleagues and comrades contained an extremely powerful but very familiar dark force.
And the only one who can use such force is...
"Tap, step." The sound of heavy footsteps was clearly audible.
"Hu~...Hu~..." The rhythmic and unique mechanical breathing sound also reached everyone's ears.
Accompanied by various movements, the master who released the dark force just now led a group of elites equipped with bright black armor and black robes, and slowly walked through the door into the hall where the king sat.
As for the owner, he was also wearing a black helmet and black armor, with a black cloak hanging behind him. He was two meters tall, and his helmet mask looked like a black skull.
And the rather terrifying "he" is the Dark Lord in the First Empire, second only to Palv Palpatine in terms of low status, prestige, and power——
Darth Vader.
And Darth Vader's influence in society and the military seems to be far greater than that of the emperor who is still sitting on the throne but has lost his ambition.
"You're trying to create...uh!
"
Just as Palf was about to shout and question, he saw Darth Vader had already raised his left hand and pinched it, making it unable to say the following words.
The black-armored elites also acted together with their masters, firing high-power explosive rifles towards the red guards and the unidentified "loyal ministers".
"Ta! Ta-ta!"
In an instant, dense bright blue explosive cannons flashed in the huge royal hall.
Like the unprepared "loyal ministers", they were completely destroyed in the first round of the confrontation between the two sides. They didn't even have time to implement the surrender measures, and died in the name of loyal ministers.
On the other hand, the red guards waved their war spears, quickly and accurately deflecting explosive cannons, or reflecting them to the black-armored elites.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
However, the black-armored elite seemed to have a certain stance and were able to deflect the cannons.
Even if he was a little unlucky and his position was not effectively defended, and he was killed by the artillery fired by his own rifle, it would not be a big deal.
The main reason is that there are too many black-armored elites. The scale of the influx into the King's Hall alone is more than five times that of the red-clad guards.
The red guards gradually couldn't hold on any longer. No matter how strong they were, they couldn't withstand such an impact.
Therefore, in order to quickly reverse the situation of the war and save the emperor, all the red guards stopped defending, ignored the incoming explosive artillery regiment, and chose to rush towards the most crucial character, Da Da, who was still strolling forward. S Vader.
But the result...
"Poof! Poof!"
The red-clad Imperial Guards who were closer to Darth Vader exploded and died.
The ones farther away fell into a stagnant state, like living targets, and were killed by the focused fire attacks of the black-armored elites.
It seems that the red guards did quickly change the situation of the battle, but it was a change that accelerated their death.
The confrontation in the King's Hall suddenly stopped, leaving only heavy footsteps and mechanical breathing.
soon.
Darth Vader came to the platform where the throne was, and looked down at Parv who was in pain, struggling desperately, but was helpless.
There was no "declaration of the villain's victory", nor was there any emotional catharsis such as sarcasm or sarcasm. Instead, after a moment of silence, Darth Vader made a complete fist with his left hand.
"Get stuck!"
There was a crisp, loud bone shattering, and Parv stopped struggling, his hands and limbs went limp.
However, his head was unable to remain stable due to the brute force of the neck being crushed and exploded, and it rolled down from the body, finally arriving at Darth Vader's feet.
"Peng!"
The dark lord did not hesitate to crush the dead emperor's head under his feet.
It can be seen that there is a deep connection between the two parties, and Darth Vader is full of hatred, and then "kill first to respect".
"Pah! Pah!"
At this moment, there was a burst of intermittent applause in the throne room.
? !
This caused Darth Vader to immediately turn around and look towards the source of the applause. At the same time, he immediately took off the hilt of the lightsaber attached to his waist and was extremely alert.
The moment he completed his turn, "he" was even more shocked.
Because the black-armored elites who were supposed to be cleaning the battlefield and standing guard, and whom "he" focused on caring for and training, were now lying on the ground lifeless without exception.
And the man who applauded was also dressed in black. Sui Bian suddenly appeared in the center of the hall and solved all the miscellaneous affairs with the power of thunder.
Seeing Darth Vader take down Palph Palpatine without a word of nonsense, this made Sui Bian even more appreciative of this dark lord who had fallen due to family affection, and at the same time, he also hoped to seize "his" soul even more. Go, correct.
"Buzz!"
The bright red lightsaber unfolded.
"You are the cold sun." Darth Vader's voice was low and mechanical, without much fear: "For you to come here in person means that... you are very interested in me."
Sui Bian did not open his mouth to explain, but just took out the Emperor's Sword "out of thin air", then hung the scabbard on his waist, holding the hilt in his right hand...
"Qiang!"
"boom!"
The moment the sharp blade was unsheathed, blazing fire scorched the entire hall, the temperature rose, and even the space was distorted.
!
Just the act of drawing the sword made Darth Vader unable to control his body and he knelt down on one knee. Fortunately, his right hand was still holding the hilt of the sword tightly, otherwise the lightsaber blade might have cut "his" right knee. It was chipped away.
"Yes, you are qualified to be my child."
? !
As his child?
This is…
Before he could ask what he wanted to ask, Darth Vader, who was in great shock, saw that Sui Bian was already taking a step that "he" could observe, "slowly", but then quickly swinging his sword.
Seeing this, Darth Vader tried his best to raise his lightsaber to block.
Unfortunately, no matter what "he" does, the blade of the Emperor's Sword will eventually fall off.
But before "his" body was about to lose its life, Darth Vader saw at close range that the fire that was enough to incinerate the soul actually went out on its own? !
The next moment he fell into endless darkness. When he found that "he" was illuminated by the cold sun, he opened his eyes again and saw...
A strange doctor wearing a beak mask.
