Anakin Skywalker returned to the Jedi Temple stunned, he didn't even know how he got back.
When he walked into the temple gate, Master Shakti, the current leader of the Jedi Order, was waiting for him. When he saw Anakin coming in, Shakti walked forward and raised his hand to gently brush Anakin.
A cool force of force suddenly blew across his forehead, making him seem a little more awake.
"You're finally back, Anakin, and I'm worried about you." Shaak-Ti said, "It seems like you're not hurt, which is great. Facing a Sith Lord is very dangerous.
matter."
"I'm sorry, Master Shaak-Ti, I can't..." Anakin Skywalker shook his head in pain.
"It's not your fault, Anakin..." Shakti patted his shoulder and said, "It's just that I really want to know Master Yoda's situation urgently. Have you seen him? Even if...
Even the worst-case scenario is better.”
Anakin whispered tiredly: "Master Yoda failed... but he is not dead, but I don't know where he is now..."
He paused and added, "Sidious doesn't know either."
Hearing this, Shakti frowned suddenly. She wanted to say something else, but she stopped and just watched Anakin return to his dormitory.
Anakin Skywalker sat blankly on the bed in his dormitory, looking at the white ceiling, countless images flashed through his mind... At this moment, he seemed to see his kind mother Shmi Skywalker caring for him.
Preparing a simple meal, standing next to him was Qui-Gon Jinn who was like an elder, Padmé Amidala who was as beautiful as an angel, and Obi-Wan Kenobi who took care of him like a brother.
And the clever Ahsoka Tano...
Not only that, he also saw Jax Pawan, his best friend of all time, Master Sussteen, who often communicated with him about fighter modifications, and Master Yoda, who was full of worries and taught him earnestly...even the weird and tricky one.
, the Dream Sisters who often play pranks and cause trouble seem to be wandering around with their sweet laughter like silver bells...
The voices of these people seemed to be heard in his ears. Some of them were laughing, some were preaching, and some were discussing... He even saw Master Qui-Gon Jin smiling and extending his hand to him, "You have grown up, Anna.
gold……"
However, when Anakin reached out his hand, everything around him disappeared...
No one...
Yes...no one is...not by my side...
More than ten years have passed, and I am still alone...
Anakin Skywalker's heart has become extremely heavy now. His relatives, friends, masters, as well as the deceased angel, Darth Sidious... countless things are weighing on his heart, almost making him collapse.
"I just... want to protect everyone..." Anakin muttered to himself.
However, he realized now that he couldn't even protect anyone.
I don't know when Anakin Skywalker fell asleep like this with endless thoughts.
However, the next day, he was awakened by a very rough banging on the door. Anakin Skywalker opened the door and walked out, only to see more than a dozen Jedi standing outside the door. Each of these people looked evil.
Najin recognized many of them as Jedi Knights who had been making radical remarks on various occasions during this period.
Blood warrior!
"Anakin! You must explain to us! Why did the Sith Lord Darth Sidious ask you to go alone!?" one of them asked sharply.
"And you, as a Jedi, came back unscathed after confronting a Sith Lord! Tell us, what happened?! What is the agreement between you and Darth Sidious?
?!"
Anakin Skywalker's face darkened, and he began to contain endless anger in his heart, "I don't have any agreement with Darth Sidious! Yesterday, he just asked me to report in the name of the Speaker of the Republic.
!”
"He's a Sith Lord!
An evil existence that has enveloped the entire galaxy with darkness! Is the education the Jedi Order gave you since childhood all empty talk? Why can you actually tolerate the existence of a Sith Lord!" said a blood warrior.
"In order to practice the light, you should kill him with one sword!" Another blood warrior was also aggressive, "Not only did you not do this, he also did not do you any harm! How could a Jedi knight still fight with the Sith Lord?
Are you okay? You must make this clear!"
"I see anger and a little darkness in you, Anakin. You shouldn't be like this." This was an older blood warrior.
Anakin Skywalker felt a buzz in his head, as if something exploded. His eyes were red, he jumped up and roared loudly, "Kill him? You go?! Why don't you go? He
Isn't it right in the Parliament Building? If you really hate him so much, go and kill him! Standing here and blaming me is what you call light? He is the Speaker! He is the Speaker of the Republic!
Kill him, what will happen to the Republic?! What will happen to this war?! What will happen to separatism!? Have you ever thought about it! No! You haven’t thought about it! Your brains have been burned out by the so-called light!
"
"You can actually say such a thing! Anakin! It seems that Master Windu is right! You were too old when you entered the Jedi Order! You are not suitable to be a Jedi Knight at all!" A blood warrior tit for tat
to accuse.
"Whether I am suitable to be a Jedi Knight is not up to you! Who do you think you are? What are you doing when I fight for the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic, and fight bravely against the enemy!? Who is participating in the battle here?
More than me? Who has lost more than me? I lost everything! Everything for this war!
!" Anakin Skywalker yelled hysterically.
"That's enough! Anakin!" A majestic female voice came from the side.
She saw Shakti walking quickly with Coleman Kokaji and other remaining committee members of the Jedi Order. She looked at the blood warriors, her face was a little unsightly, and she snorted coldly.
Said: "And you! Is this how Master Yoda taught you to be aggressive towards others? Go to the solitary room immediately and be punished! Everyone!"
The blood warriors were obviously very unconvinced, with unruly expressions on their faces, but they still followed the instructions of Shakti, the current leader of the Jedi Order, and turned around and walked towards the confinement room.
Shake-Ti took a deep breath, shook her head, and said to Anakin Skywalker: "Come with me, Anakin. I do still have a lot to say to you."
Anakin nodded and followed Shakti to a reading room.
Shake-Ti sat on one of the seats and motioned for Anakin to sit down as well. She got straight to the point very seriously: "The departure of Master Windu and the emergence of the Blood Warriors have heralded the inevitable split of the Jedi Order.
...In fact, in all the wars that the Jedi Order has experienced, there have been divisions between radicals and peaceful factions. For example, the Jedi Covenant that appeared four thousand years ago is such an example... But..."
She stared into Anakin's eyes and continued: "This is not the way of light. Such extremes are destined to not last long. And the more difficult we are in such a difficult time, the more we must stick to our true intentions.
Hold on to the light in our hearts. Master Yoda has taught us more than once that persistence is the most difficult thing in the universe... Indulgence is just a thought."
Anakin Skywalker nodded, sighed and said, "It was my fault just now, Master Shaak-Ti. At that moment, I gave in to the anger in my heart."
"It's good that you can realize this, Anakin." Shaak-Ti said, "Furthermore, to face a Sith Lord and be able to suppress his impulse and anger to do this
A little bit more difficult."
Anakin lowered his head.
Shakti then raised her own question, "But although it may be difficult for you, the current situation has indeed reached an imminent point. Can you tell me what exactly happened?"
Anakin Skywalker said: "Palpatine admitted that he is Darth Sidious, but...I can't attack him. Because he is also the Speaker of the Galactic Republic...and, another
A dead angel of the Sith Lord may be an even more dangerous figure."
Then, he briefly talked about the conversation between himself and Palpatine. Of course, there were some things that he didn't want Shaak-Ti to know, and he didn't talk about them, for example, about his mother.
Shake-Ti thought for a long time and then said: "It is impossible for us to tolerate a Sith Lord continuing to sit in the position of Speaker and lead the Galactic Republic. This matter is absolutely impossible, because he will not only affect the entire
It brings harm to the galaxy, and it will also bring harm to us. What I see is that Palpatine continues to push the war deeper, and continues to make the Galactic Republic gradually become militarized and centralized.
Walking further and further away is not allowed."
Anakin Skywalker's tone became a little colder, "But if not, the separatism will not be defeated, and the division of the Outer Rim Star Region will continue to exist?"
"So, you agree with his idea? A Sith Lord?" Shaak-Ti frowned, this was something she didn't expect.
"This war is already contradictory enough, Master Shaak-Ti." Anakin said, "I don't hate the blood warriors who just questioned me, because only fighting on the front line can you feel this contradiction."
He raised his hand and clenched a fist, "If the war continues, more people will suffer the destruction and pain of war... And in order to win the war, we have to do more things that violate our creed...
…”
Anakin raised his head and said: "I have killed many people, Master Shakti...many people. But in order to end this war, maybe I will kill more people...and Darth Sidious
The same is true for Si. He is a Sith Lord and also the Speaker of the Republic. How should we choose? As the Speaker, he has made countless efforts to win the war. If it were not for his persistence, maybe the Galactic Republic would not even be officially
We don’t have any troops, so what can we rely on to resist the separatist attack at that time?”
He said and sighed, "I really wanted to kill him, really, Master Shakti. He was already seriously injured, and I could really have pierced his chest with a sword. But...but if I
Really kill him? The administrative core of the Galactic Republic will fall into chaos, and his previous policies that were effective in winning the war will not be implemented. Perhaps, our just-started fruitful counterattack will be forced to stop. And then
At this time, have we hurt countless people who are in dire straits because of the continuation of the war?"
Shakti suddenly asked: "What if he is no longer the speaker? Will you kill him?"
Anakin frowned in thought, but did not answer the question.
Shake-Ti forced a forced smile and said, "I understand, you go back and rest, Anakin."
…
Zhang Jiarui is in a very advanced laboratory at the moment. This laboratory covers an extremely large area. It is even hard to imagine that such a luxurious laboratory is actually the Kuat Planet Industrial Star where every inch of space is precious.
On the ring!
The remains of the Thor mecha he once drove are now placed in a nearby laboratory, and some engineering robots are repairing the outer armor of the mecha.
Zhang Jiarui was lazily operating in front of a terminal. This terminal actually used the style of the Fourth Civilization, and even the operating system was unique to the Fourth Civilization. From this alone, you can tell
The powers of Quat Power Dock are vast.
Because the Fourth Civilization's own intelligence and counter-intelligence work is very good, the Galactic Republic has always wanted to obtain some of the Fourth Civilization's technological items, but there are not many that can actually do so.
However, Kuat Power Shipyard still obtained such a complete terminal and operating system. Even if it is not the latest model, it is enough.
Zhang Jiarui now had no choice but to start providing Xiao Kuate with what they wanted - technological information on the Thor Mecha.
However, he still kept an eye on it. What he writes about now is not the technology of the extractor cannon currently used on the Thor mecha, but the technology of the original version of the extractor.
In other words, this is the technology sample of the extractor that Severance Tann obtained from the Wookiee research base on the Alaris satellite at that time. This thing is originally something from the Galactic Republic, and it would not be a problem to write it down.
Anyway, the Fourth Civilization is now far ahead in its research on extractors.
