The night on Coruscant was already dark. Although the cities all over the planet were still brightly lit, what shrouded the bustling lights was still the bottomless darkness.
A figure slowly came to a mansion. Anyone who could own an independent mansion in Coruscant was obviously rich or noble. However, this figure had no scruples at all and walked directly in. In the reception hall
Among them, several doctors and nurses were on duty. They seemed to be preparing to take a rest. When they saw the people coming, one of the nurses came over and said: "Hello, this is the private residence of Senator Padmé Amidala, the representative of the planet Naboo."
Mansion, you are..."
The figure raised her head, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She saw that she was a woman in her 40s, with a slightly darker complexion, a bead between her eyebrows and the bridge of her nose, and wearing a loose brown robe. She looked at the nurse in front of her
, did not speak, just raised his hand and waved lightly, the hilt of the lightsaber immediately flew up from his waist and was held in his hand. With a swish sound, the blue lightsaber was unsheathed!!
At the same time, in one of the rooms in Padmé's mansion, a maid suddenly turned her head 180 degrees and looked directly behind, which was exactly the direction of the reception hall! Then her body began to twist and change
, the surface turned into metallic silver-gray liquid metal, and then after a surge, it turned into a woman with short hair and beautiful features! A blue light flashed in her eyes, and she connected to the communication and said: "This is Eliza reporting, someone is trying to
Attack on Padmé Amidala."
[Delay for time, reinforcements will arrive soon.] Such a reply came from the communicator.
Eliza didn't say much and closed the communication. Then she raised her right arm, the liquid metal faded away, and the mechanical structure on her hand began to change, and finally turned into an ion cannon, turned around and rushed towards the reception hall!
…
Galaxy Capitol Building, Speaker's Office.
"...To monopolize power?? You want to?" Anakin was shocked and screamed.
Palpatine nodded and said: "This is the last way I can think of to win this war and turn myself into a part of the war machine of the Republic. Let me become the brain of the Republic and exhaust all my life's wisdom.
To fight Count Dooku."
As he spoke, his tone seemed a little lonely, "There are no friends, no parliament, and no other voices. My voice is the voice of the Republic, and my judgment is the judgment of the Republic! Even if I have to turn millions of people into cannon fodder.
, but as long as I can save tens of billions or hundreds of billions of people, I will do it! No one can stop it! Only in this way can we truly integrate everything and then fight! Win!" Later, he said
The voices became louder and more passionate, and finally they even waved their fists with some fanaticism.
However, Anakin took a few steps back somewhat unacceptable. He pointed at Palpatine and said, "You...are the one who destroyed the Republic?"
Palpatine nodded, then shook his head, "If you are talking about the Republic, then yes, I destroyed the Republic. But, what is the Republic that you swore allegiance to? Do you understand the nature of the Republic?"
Anakin shook his head in pain.
"The Republic is the people! Where the people are, there is the Republic!!!" Palpatine suddenly shouted loudly, "The trillions of people on Coruscant are the Republic! Quat, Naboo, Rodia... these
The people on the planet are a republic! Even planets such as Corellia, Rendili, and Tatooine that have temporarily turned their backs on us are still republics! The essence of the republic is the people! What you are sworn to protect is also the people!
!!Why are we fighting? We are fighting for the people!! This is the essence of the Republic!!”
But Anakin still kept shaking his head, "Why you? Mr. Speaker... why you? It was you... who hurt Padmé! Isn't that right..."
"Yes, I hurt her. It's just because Representative Amidala and I have the same purpose, to protect our country and our people. Therefore, we hurt each other... Otherwise, we can't let it go.
Okay?" Palpatine closed his eyes in pain, waved his hand feebly and said: "Go back, go back to the Jedi Temple, and leave me alone...to bear all this..."
Anakin stared at Palpatine, his fists clenched and his whole body trembling. After a long time, he suddenly turned around and ran wildly outside.
Palpatine looked at Anakin's back, and his rickety body suddenly became upright, and a dark and twisted laugh came from his mouth. Then he raised his head, his eyes had turned strangely golden,
Like a devil!
"Hehehehe... What? Don't you dare to come out and face your beloved apprentice? My friend, Master Yoda!!" Palpatine suddenly turned back and looked out the window.
I only saw a short figure standing there on the originally empty window sill! He was less than one meter tall, with dark green skin and a pair of conspicuous pointed ears. The beard and hair on his head had already
It fell off sparsely, but at this moment, in this small body, it contains unimaginable power! Yes, he is the supreme leader of the Jedi Knights, Master Yoda!!
"The Jedi Order no longer exists. So I will not interfere with Anakin's choice. The road is at his feet." Master Yoda said solemnly.
"Hahahahaha!" Palpatine laughed loudly, "I thought you would reveal my identity as a Sith to my face, Yoda. I didn't expect you didn't even have the courage to do so. I'm so disappointed! But!
Guess what choice Anakin will make when he knows my identity? Kill me?"
Master Yoda opened his clothes and took off a small lightsaber from his waist. He held it with both hands and unfolded the small green blade. He said slowly: "You think you control everything, you think you can influence the security of the world."
Najin’s growth, but you are wrong! You... underestimated him too much!"
"No... you are wrong. I understand the potential he contains better than any of you! Anakin! He was conceived by the Force. He is the son of the Force! The son of destiny!" Parr
Palpatin said ferociously, and with a thought in his mind, an inconspicuous metal statue in the corner of the office suddenly trembled violently. Then the statue flew towards Palpatine under the influence of the powerful dark force.
Go, it began to disintegrate in mid-air, and then a lightsaber hilt appeared in it, falling accurately into Palpatine's hand.
Whoa! The red sword spit out and hung to the ground. The high temperature of the sword melted the marble floor into a burning pit!
"Are you planning to commit treason? Master Yoda?" Palpatine said slowly.
"Killing a Sith Lord is not treason." Master Yoda said.
"The laws of the Republic do not prohibit people's personal philosophical inclinations, and you draw a sword against the Speaker because of such groundless accusations. This is treason." A sinister smile appeared on Palpatine's lips.
"The Republic is gone!" A sharp look flashed through Master Yoda's eyes!
The next second, two figures, one large and one small, and two lightsabers, one red and one green, collided with each other at high speed!!
