Chapter 2239 Black and White
2239: black and white
"...Indeed, Iblis and the others have found a way to activate the midpoint station. This ancient relic can generate a strong traction force to move any planet within the Milky Way. Of course, if this planet has not been modified, then It will soon be shattered because the gravitational force is close to Roche's limit." A holographic image said that the whole body of this person was covered by deliberately created black shadows, and he could only be vaguely seen as a bald head.
"So that's it...hehehehe..." Darth Sidious was wearing a black cloak, covering his face. He could only see the aquiline nose and wrinkled chin. After the report, he let out a burst of distorted laughter, "The midpoint station... so there is such a function... What else do you know?"
The bald man didn't answer, he just chuckled and said, "It all depends on what you can give me."
"What I want is not just information, it's as simple as that..." Sidious said slowly.
"It's such a coincidence, I don't just want to sell a word, it's as simple as that..." the bald man clapped his hands and said with a smile.
Darth Sidious stretched out his withered hands, clenched them playfully in front of his eyes and let them go, and said meaningfully: "The Corellian galaxy was actually a feudal and centralized regime at the beginning, and among them The first family of the country is the Solo family who have always ruled this country as kings. But the Solo family’s rule only lasted until 300 years ago. The last Corellian king, Berezlon-Solo After a democratic reform, they were forced to give up the throne... The dignified first family of Corellia is now in decline, and even their descendants have started to engage in pirate business. It's really... embarrassing, Say yes, Your Excellency Dan Solo."
"You should call me, black Dara!! Dan Solo is dead!!" the bald man snapped.
"Oh yes... I almost forgot. Once the name Dan Solo appears in Corellia, he will become a wanted criminal... Your father Kroll Solo once called himself Berezlon Solo Luo's descendant wanted to launch a coup to restore the Solo Dynasty, but he was overwhelmed and was soon hanged. Hahahahahahaha..." Darth Sidious said sarcastically.
The bald man didn't speak, looking very calm. But Darth Sidious laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha!! Don't pretend like this in vain!! Your poor acting skills are useless in front of me!! I can feel your anger, your Unwilling, your humiliation!! I can feel your heavy heartbeat even across several galaxies!! Hahahahaha!! Give your loyalty, Dan Solo!! Then, you will get what you want What I want!!”
"I... want revenge!"
"Yes! Revenge!! Hate will be your strongest motivation!! I will help you to take revenge, and not only that, I will also put you back on the throne,
Dominate the entire Corellian galaxy, just like your great-grandfather Berezon Solo! ! And I have another news for you... your grandson, is alive. "Darth Sidious said in a seductive tone.
"This is impossible! My son Jonathan Solo died ten years ago! With his son!!" Dan Solo yelled.
"No, no, no, Jonathan Solo did die ten years ago, but his son, Han Solo, did not die, he survived." Sidious said.
"Where is he!!" Dan Solo jumped up and asked eagerly.
Sidious waved his hand, "When the time is right, you will naturally see him. Now, it's your turn."
Dan Solo knelt down on one knee without hesitation, bowed his head deeply, and said in a deep voice: "I, the 127th generation descendant of the Solo family, Dan Solo, am willing to serve you as Lord, and I will dedicate to you All my loyalty. From now on, I will be your most loyal servant..."
"Faithful servant..." Darth Sidious repeated, and suddenly he laughed wildly, "Hahahahahaha!! He is really my most 'faithful' servant!! Hahahahahaha!!! "
"My loyalty to you will never change." Dan Solo emphasized again.
Darth Sidious's laughter stopped abruptly, and he suddenly said quietly: "Very good! For you, I naturally believe...because you will be my only, most loyal, servant... Next, prove your worth!! The future King of Corellia, Dan Solo..."
Dan Solo kept his head down and did not dare to neglect, he replied loudly: "As you wish! My lord!! I will definitely stand in the middle and offer it up!!" After finishing speaking, he kept kneeling Gesture, turn off the communication.
Darth Sidious looked at the projection equipment that was plunged into darkness, sneered, and lifted his hood. He was still the hale and hearty old man, the speaker who devoted himself to the Galactic Republic——Sif Palpa Ting, but at this moment his eyes were full of savagery, and the golden pupils shone with a fierce light.
Palpatine tore off the cloak, revealing the luxurious council robe underneath, and then he looked at the deputy speaker Mas Almeda, who was standing by and stood still, and said: "Continue to torture Gareth S. Rick, dig out his deepest memories!! Then, I want to know the whereabouts of Han Solo!!"
Without waiting for a reply, he walked towards the door, and when he passed by Mas Ameda, he conveniently put the cloak that he had just torn off in his hand.
The moment he went out, the golden color in his eyes had returned to normal, and the kind look returned to his face, but at the moment he looked worried. His steady steps have also become a little vain, and everything is like an ordinary old man. Back in the office, Master Mace Windu and Anakin Skywalker were already waiting there. When he saw Palpatine coming in, Master Windu looked up. He didn't speak, but there was a search in his eyes.
Palpatine took a deep look at Master Windu and Anakin Skywalker, shook his head and let out a long sigh, went to the desk and sat down, crossed his hands and covered his forehead, and did not speak for a long time. Windu and Anakin didn't bother him either, they just continued to stand and wait. After at least 5 minutes, Palpatine raised his head, his face was full of exhaustion, and those wrinkles seemed to be much deeper than usual, like ravines.
"I'm sorry...I..." Palpatine shook his head again, he seemed a little hesitant to speak, and then took a deep breath before calming down, and then said: "Just now I had another conversation with Senator Iblis. For talking, no, I should call him Iblis Executive..."
"Hmph! He has no right to call himself an executive officer!! Those who betray the Republic will pay the price!!" Anakin Skywalker said loudly.
"I am gratified by your courage, Anakin. Even I, who know nothing about the Force, can see that you are rapidly maturing, and you are already able to take charge." Palpatine said, and then he Looking at Master Windu who seemed to want to refute this point, he forced a smile and continued: "But the matter of Corellia can no longer be resolved by courage..."
"What happened to the Corellian galaxy?" Master Windu asked eagerly.
Palpatine called up the current star map of the TD-10036-EM-1271 galaxy, and called up the previous star map of this galaxy, pointing to the holographic projection and sighing: "This is what this galaxy looked like a week ago , and what it looks like now."
The two Jedi knights suddenly gasped, and Anakin shouted: "This... this galaxy has been destroyed?!"
"That's right. The Corellians have mastered the power of a 100,000-year-old relic, the Centerpoint. Through this terrible creation, they can easily destroy any planet in the galaxy-naturally, including Coruscant," Palpatine said.
"So they use this midpoint to coerce us to recognize their independence? This is a naked betrayal!!" Master Windu said sharply.
"That's right, they established the Five-Star Alliance to become independent from the Galactic Republic. However, this news has not been officially announced, because they are still testing our response, and they are also trying to win over other galaxies in the Corellian sector to join them. This is why I asked you to return to Coruscant from the front line immediately. We must solve this betrayal as soon as possible! The Corellian system is one of the most important systems in the Republic. Once they leave the Republic, our finances will soon be reduced. Crash! And if they recruit other galaxies in the Corellian sector to join the Five-Star Alliance, I think the days of the Republic will come to an end, the claws of separatism will extend to the entire galaxy, and all people will be in dire straits ..." Palpatine said, sighing again with great pain, this was the third time he had sighed.
"These traitors are unforgivable!! Your Excellency, Speaker, please authorize me to set out immediately, and I will completely destroy this puppet regime!! Send all the culprits to the gallows!!" Anakin Skywalker said loudly.
"Anakin-Skywalker!!" Master Windu raised his voice and shouted sharply, "Remember the teachings of the Jedi Knights!! Don't let your emotions influence your judgment!! Not to mention the decision of a person's life and death easily!! You are in Europe What did Biwan Kenobi's subordinates do during the time they were studying!! Now get out of here!!"
The contempt in Palpatine's eyes flashed, he waved his hand and said: "I believe that Anakin is not such a cruel and easy-to-kill person, but he is worried about the survival of the Republic and the safety of countless people. It’s just that I lost my position. Now that the matter is urgent, it’s better for us not to focus on this trivial quarrel for the time being.”
Master Windu glared at Anakin, but he also agreed with Palpatine's words, and said instead: "I will personally lead the fleet to destroy the midpoint station! As long as the midpoint station is lost, Kore Those rebels in Leah naturally dare not make any waves anymore."
Palpatine shook his head and said: "This is exactly what I want to remind you. The midpoint station cannot be destroyed. Because it is only a civilian facility."
Master Windu frowned and asked: "With all due respect, are you talking about a 'civilian facility' that can destroy a planet in an instant?"
"You only saw the enormous power and incomparable destructiveness of the midpoint station, but you didn't see the other half." Palpatine shook his head and said: "In fact, the reason why the Corellian galaxy is in a There are five habitable planets with suitable climate in the galaxy, precisely because of the midpoint station. 100,000 years ago, the builder of the midpoint station used the great power of the midpoint station to move five planets from other galaxies When we arrived in the Corellia galaxy, this created the extremely prosperous Corellia."
As he said, Palpatine stretched out his hands, one hand spread out, the other fisted, and placed in front of Master Windu, but his eyes were fixed on Anakin Skywalker, and he said slowly: "So, The midpoint station is a terrible weapon in the hands of Iblis, but in the hands of the Kilic who built the midpoint station, it is an incomparable transformation tool. So tell me, what exactly is the midpoint station What? A heinous existence?"
"But now our technological level can't resist the midpoint station at all. In this way, the midpoint station will lose its check and balance! Anything in this universe, once out of balance, will deviate from the original track and go to destruction." Wen Wen Master Du retorted.
"Let's imagine what we can do if we master the midpoint. The root cause of the civil war started by the separatists now lies in the uneven distribution of resources, but what about the midpoint? We can turn the barren Move planets to rich galaxies, and move remote planets to galaxies close to hyperspace channels. Even in the barren western region, we can designate a planet for exploration and colonization, and then move directly there. Further expansion work!! Once with the help of the midpoint station, the population explosion problem, the problem of insufficient resources, and the problem of uneven distribution can all be solved!! Isn’t this more valuable than the brutal destruction of it?” Palpatine said.
Master Windu was silent, also fascinated by the prospect Palpatine had drawn.
Looking at his appearance, Palpatine smiled and continued: "There is no distinction between good and evil in power. Only people can distinguish between good and evil. If you reject and fear this power just because of its strength, then Our civilization will never be able to develop! When hundreds of thousands, millions of years ago, when primitive people first saw flames, if they were afraid and refused, then human civilization would never advance!! Imagine, use Think with your heart."
Palpatine seemed to be talking about the halfway point to Master Windu, but his eyes kept staring at Anakin Skywalker who bowed his head and said nothing.
