Under the leadership of his son, Tang Xiao came to a cave in Mortis.
The cave was bottomless, and an ominous green light emanated from it. At his son's signal, Tang Xiao walked in front, walking down the winding stairs.
Tang Xiao clearly felt that his son was very anxious in this cave. He seemed to be very uncomfortable and suffered pain and injury with every step he took.
But on the surface, his son didn't care. He just followed Tang Xiao with his hands behind his back.
After walking down for several hundred meters, we finally came to a sea of green fire. This was literally a sea of green fire, because the flames in it were green, but Tang Xiao couldn't feel any temperature.
Above this sea of fire, there is a platform floating, and on the platform is a trapezoidal altar. This altar is composed of several triangles, with a dazzling green flame beating in the center.
The son was obviously very afraid of these flames. He pushed Tang Xiao and said anxiously: "Go! It's right here! In the middle of the altar, if you walk over, you can see the dagger."
"I...walk over there?" Tang Xiao pointed to the sea of green fire. If he wanted to get to the platform, he had to step over the flames. However, the environment here clearly meant that if he wanted to jump over or something like that, it would be a trick.
It will definitely suffer disaster.
"These flames are ineffective against people like you. These are flames that will only hurt us," the son said.
"But if even you can't resist..." Tang Xiao still seemed a little hesitant.
"Stop talking nonsense! Come over here! I'll make sure you're fine!" the son said impatiently.
Tang Xiao finally made up his mind and stepped directly over the flames. Although he knew that nothing would happen, he was still very nervous at that moment. After all, the one who stepped over the flames in the original plot was Obi-Wan Kenno from the light side.
Bi, now he is the dark side. He doesn't know if this green flame will react to the dark side force.
But it turned out that he was overly worried. The green flames blew over Tang Xiao like a cool breeze. He stepped over the flames and stood in front of the altar.
As if sensing his arrival, the triangles that formed the altar began to move on their own and reassemble themselves. The dazzling green flame in the center of the altar slowly rose, then gradually changed, and finally turned into a dagger about half a meter long.
!
Mortis Dagger! The only weapon known to be able to kill Tai Ren!
The origin of this dagger is unknown. Even in the setting, the origin of this dagger is not introduced. Therefore, this dagger is likely to be older than the 'father', and may be traced back to the god who created the world.
This dagger is also one of the means used by the 'father' to intimidate his daughter and son. Because among the three Taiyi here, only the 'father' can pass through the green flames and get this dagger.
Tai Ren who is killed by a dagger will die completely. In the plot, the 'father' commits suicide with this dagger, causing his son to completely lose his immortal power and be killed by Anakin Skywalker.
In other words, if 'father' did not die from Mortis' dagger, then the death he mentioned was most likely just sleeping.
The moment he got the dagger, Tang Xiao had a strong impulse to kill his son directly! But his peripheral vision glanced at the sneer at the corner of his son's mouth, and he immediately gave up the idea.
The Mortis dagger can indeed kill Tai Ren, but only if you can stab them. Tang Xiao doesn't think he has the ability to stab his son.
Hanging the dagger on his waist, his son walked over and waved his hand gently, and the dagger immediately disappeared from Tang Xiao's body.
"It's just a little trick. The dagger is still here." The son said, "And don't worry, 'father' and daughter will never notice that the dagger is on you. I will also block their perception so that they can't sense you.
murderous intent."
Tang Xiao's eyes showed murderous intent and he nodded heavily.
…
Next, his son immediately kicked Tang Xiao out of his dark church.
Tang Xiao walked around aimlessly in Mortis. He just followed the light on the horizon, which should be the direction where his daughter lived.
The outside of Mortis is a huge diamond-shaped creation, and the inside is a huge space with a diameter of thousands of kilometers. Even if Tang Xiao uses the Force, he cannot travel such a distance in a short time.
After he had been running around for two days, there was a clear chirp in the sky, and a gryphon emitting holy light descended from the sky. Without any explanation, he grabbed Tang Xiao, took him up into the sky, and flapped its wings in one direction.
Fly away at high speed.
"Where are you taking me?" Tang Xiao asked loudly.
"Take you to see 'Father'." The daughter replied.
"Aren't you still going to let me go?" Tang Xiao asked again.
"'Father' will perform a ritual, which will explore your mysterious origins. If it is confirmed that you have no impact on the balance of the Force, then we will let you go immediately," the daughter said.
"No one has no influence on the balance of the Force. What 'Father' said is just an excuse! You just treat the lives of hundreds of billions of people in the Principality of Dawn like toys! If the dark side continues to expand because of this, then this is you
The responsibility of this light messenger!" Tang Xiao said sternly.
"There's nothing I can do about it." The daughter's voice deepened.
"No, you can do it." Tang Xiao said almost in a pleading tone: "Our country is facing the threat of war. I have no other request, I just hope that you let me go back, and then we will use our own strength to do it."
Resist the invaders. Even if we fight to the last man, this is what you call the law of nature. But if I am not here, then do you think the death of hundreds of billions of people is still the law of nature? Isn’t this the influence of one of you?
Are there any consequences?"
The daughter was obviously moved and fell silent.
The corner of Tang Xiao's mouth moved and he said again: "My son asked me to kill 'father' during the ceremony."
The daughter was startled and raised her head, "What did you say? How could he do this!"
Then she thought of something, shook her head and said: "No, you can't kill 'Father', you are too weak. Unless..."
A cold dagger was pressed against her chest.
"That's right, that's the only exception." Tang Xiao held the Mortis dagger and said coldly.
The daughter seemed to be really angry this time. She gritted her teeth and said, "Son, he actually took you to get this dagger! And he also blocked our perception!!"
"You are right, he has gone completely crazy." Tang Xiao said, "But you should also know that in the face of the lives of hundreds of billions of people in my Kingdom of Dawn, I will also go crazy."
