Chapter 2258 Boundless Darkness

2258. Boundless Darkness

The inner circle of the galaxy, Coruscant, the Galactic Council.

The speaker Heev Palpatine, who was giving an impassioned speech in the parliament, suddenly changed his face. He immediately softened, covered his heart and panted rapidly, as if he was about to suffocate, and then he grabbed his heart with more and more force. Even grabbed the luxurious dress and wrinkled it into a ball, and the whole person collapsed to the ground! !

There was an uproar in the parliament, and the deputy speaker Mas Almeda quickly squatted down to support Palpatine, only to hear the speaker say in a faint voice: "I want to go back to the office, you dissolve the meeting immediately, don't let Nobody stays in Parliament."

Mas-Ameida nodded, then stood up, raised his hands, and said in a loud voice: "Gentlemen, Your Excellency the Speaker is not feeling well due to overwork. Now I announce the suspension of the meeting, and I will continue after the Speaker recovers." .In addition, Your Excellency the Speaker needs to rest, and I hope everyone can leave here so that he can rest well."

Although those congressmen complained about the interruption of the meeting, they still obeyed the order and began to leave the parliament and return to their residences. The war has progressed to the present, and the power of the speaker is getting stronger and stronger. Because the frontline warfare is unfavorable, in order to respond immediately, in many cases, Palpatine directly exercises the power of emergency ruling to issue orders, and discusses the facts through the parliament. The motion has become less and less. Many members of parliament are already used to this model, and they feel relaxed, at least they don't have to quarrel in the parliament all day long.

Coming to the corridor, Padmé Amidala quietly walked behind Senator Bail Organa, coughed lightly, Organa understood, slowed down and fell behind the crowd.

"I feel a little apprehensive, Senator Organa..." Padmé whispered.

Bail Organa nodded slightly.

Padmé continued: "I don't know if you have noticed, but now the Republic is increasingly inseparable from Speaker Palpatine. This is not a good thing."

"Doesn't this just show that the speaker's ability is strong enough to control the overall situation?" Organa said.

Padmé shook his head and said: "I don't know if his ability is really strong, but the power in his hands is getting bigger and bigger, and the role of the parliament is getting smaller and smaller. The last The biggest bill discussed by the parliament in March was to expand agricultural production in the expansion area of ​​the Central Ring and increase food exports. But at the same time, the speaker made a single decision, including recognizing the restoration of the Solo family in Corellia and recruiting natural persons Soldiers enlisting in the army, sending a special mission to investigate Rendili Interstellar Power, etc., are all critical decisions. In such a situation, what role can parliament play?"

"But the war is urgent. If many things are handed over to the parliament for discussion, then the opportunity for war will be missed, and the consequences will be even more serious." Organa said.

"Then if this continues, is he still the speaker?" Padmé asked back.

Organa was silent, he lowered his head and didn't speak, he kept thinking about something.

"We must take action and not let the parliament, or even the entire Republic, become Palpatine's voice!" Padmé said.

"What are you going to do?" Organa asked.

"Since the battle situation is urgent, and Palpatine is also unwell today, we can propose the establishment of the Supreme Military Council and invite the Jedi Knights to participate in this committee, so as to dilute Palpatine's power and prevent him from monopolizing power." Padmé said.

Organa nodded and said: "I think this plan is feasible. Let's take action now, take advantage of today's adjournment, and contact some congressmen to jointly propose a motion."

...

In the Chancellor's office, Palpatine had already donned the black cloak, and stood with his hands outstretched on a carpet in the center of the office. The rug looks like an ordinary decoration, but beneath the rug, deep in the office, is a Sith altar. This altar was built by Palpatine's master Darth Plagueis.

After Palpatine became the speaker, the altar was connected to the speaker's office. Through the power of this altar, Palpatine can use the dark side of the Force to shield the Jedi Knights from their perception of the Force, thus keeping them ignorant of future crises.

The vast and boundless dark force condenses around Palpatine's body. This force is deep and dark, just like the dark side of the entire universe. People can't help but sink into it and face the most terrifying fear in their hearts.

"Anakin-Skywalker! What the hell happened to you?! Now is not the time, you are not ready yet!!" Palpatine said to himself, and at the same time he made himself The dark force spanned light years and shrouded the Corellian galaxy. There is a mark he secretly planted on Anakin, and he can directly influence this man of destiny through his own power.

Although Anakin might find out if he did this, he didn't care much about it! I don't know what happened to cause Anakin's emotions to fluctuate so much, he has now stepped into the dark side with one foot! However, Palpatine understands that if Anakin steps into the dark side now, the power he will bring is hypocritical, not strong, and even weaker than before! Because he has not experienced those heart-wrenching pains and betrayals, he is still just the invincible God of War of the Republic!

Only by sacrificing one's most cherished things with one's own hands, and then falling into the dark side, can Anakin's potential be maximized. And if he was allowed to degenerate now, he would not even be as good as Earl Dooku! !

Through the power of darkness, Palpatine felt the anger and fear in Anakin's heart. What made him lose his composure? Palpatine had no way of knowing. He can only use his boundless power to calm down Anakin, no matter who or what he meets, kill them!

The dark force spanned tens of hundreds of light years in an instant, acting on Anakin's heart. At that time, he was being confused by Shi Mingdong, and the choice between his mother and Padmé made him at a loss and almost collapsed. Palpatine's power came in an instant, and he immediately calmed down, yes, what else? Now that the matter has come to this point, I can no longer be threatened by my mother, kill him first, and then talk about other things! !

Therefore, in Shi Mingdong's view, Anakin instantly became terribly calm, and he was very determined to kill him!

Only then did Palpatine feel a little relieved, but the crisis was not over! What he did just now was not to pull Anakin out of the dark side. If the dark side is to be compared to a pool of deep water, it is that he helped Anakin adjust his diving posture so that he could jump as far as possible. Just sank deeper. But the essential problem has not been resolved, Anakin's sharp sword has not been sharpened yet, no matter how much he adjusts, the result will be limited! !

Palpatine tore off his cloak, pressed the button to summon Mas Almeda and said: "Get ready for the shuttle immediately, I want to go to the Corellian galaxy in person! Claiming to the outside world that I am resting, and postpone everything as much as possible .”

"As you wish, my lord..." Mas-Ameda lowered his head and replied. However, just as he picked up the communicator, a message happened to be sent. Seeing the message, Mas Ameda's face changed suddenly, and he raised his head and said, "My lord! I just received the message, Padmé Ameda La and Bail Organa are wooing members of parliament, preparing to propose a proposal to establish the Supreme Military Council! And according to the setting of this committee, the speaker is only one of them!"

Palpatine turned his head sharply, his eyes flashed fiercely, "They! How dare they do that!!!"

"We have to prevent the passage of this bill, or, better, make it impossible to introduce this bill," Mas-Ameida said.

Palpatine's expression changed. On one side was his favorite apprentice, who might also be the most powerful Sith in the history of the galaxy, but on the other side, it was his power! He has worked so hard to get to this point of power! ! He has to make a choice! !

His body trembled slightly. This was endless anger. Under his anger, the dark force almost enveloped the entire sky! The brightly lit night scene of Coruscant seems to be a little dimmer!

After a long time, Palpatine calmed down, and said gloomyly: "Tell Master Windu the news that Anakin may fall to the dark side! Let the Jedi who has fallen to the dark side before, Barris- Offee will do it. In Coruscant, Master Windu couldn’t detect Barris’s changes. Hehehehe, Luminara Anduri really taught a good apprentice... Hehehehehe... ..."

"Then, are you still going to Corellia?" Mas-Ameida asked.

"Not going, prepare to hold a parliament." Palpatine has already made a choice. The republic is the foundation of everything he has, and proclaiming himself emperor is his ultimate goal! Destiny's Child is just icing on the cake!

Padmé Amidala... Bail Organa... Palpatine silently chanted these two names, they must die! ! If Anakin can come back, let them be the last sacrifices of the Son of Destiny! !

Yes, Destiny Child! ! You are the Son of Destiny, Anakin Skywalker! ! Let you face all this by yourself! If you can survive, it means you are still valuable. If not, looking at the entire galaxy, there are still talents with amazing potential! And indeed there is such a person! Palpatine was very convinced that only he could see the potential of this person who was only slightly inferior to Anakin!

What is that person's name? The short, foul-mouthed woman... the... woman who can spy on time...
