1202.King of the Undead (Part 1)

The number of corpses and ghosts gathered in the Sith Academy has reached tens of thousands, and more corpses are constantly crawling out of the yellow sand!

Das-Malthael didn't look sideways, he just walked along the stairs step by step. One floor, two floors, three floors...

But now, with every step he takes, the extremely rich Dark Side Force and Death Force overflows. The terrifying power even causes black footprints to form wherever he steps, and traces of black smoke are emitted.

Strong power is not a good thing at the moment, because it means that the power may be out of control and may backfire.

This is a ritual, a ritual filled with darkness and death.

He controls these undead, and these undead affect him. At this moment, it was as if there were countless people whispering, cursing, and yelling in his ears. If he was not careful, he would be drowned in the countless negative emotions brought by these countless undead and become a madman.

However, this ritual is what Darth-Malthael must complete!

Because since the time when he was under the guidance of Das-Pregas, he has never been able to fully integrate Dark Side Force and Death Force in the training he received. After all, the origin of Death Force is unknown, and it is his own thing. Das-Pregas has no knowledge of it at all, so he just gave everything he learned to Das-Malthael and let him train on his own.

However, the result is that Darth-Malthael usually uses Dark Side Force when fighting, and only uses Death Force when needed. The two are intertwined with each other, but they fail to blend with each other.

Das-Malthael has done a lot of exercises and attempts, but he has been unable to truly combine the two powers into one. And when he went to Planet Dagobah to challenge himself, he realized what he lacked.

That time, he understood what Darth-Pregas saw when he gave him Sith title - he saw Tang Xiao.

And it was also that time that he understood what he should do.

He finally understood that in order to explore the deeper truth, he must first do one thing——

Become Malthael!

Angel of Death, Angel of Wisdom!

The power of wisdom has not yet been fully realized. What he has to do now is to control death.

For this reason, what Das-Malthael lacks is a mark of his own!

The mark of the king!

Once he puts this mark on himself, then he will become...

King of the Undead, Angel of Death!

Only then will Death Force truly become his strength.

In this galaxy, there is no place like Planet Korriban, full of darkness and death!

Not only because Planet Korriban has experienced several destructions and rebirths, but also because this was once the holy land of Sith! And Sith worships death!

Countless Sith kings are buried here. From the moment these Sith Lords died, they also embraced death and became part of Sith path and became a part of death.

For them, this is a sublimation.

This is the holy land of Korriban, Sith, the holy land of death!

Das-Malthael will be crowned king in Planet Korriban!

When he conquers everything here, he will truly become the half-body of Malthael - Angel of Death. From that moment on, he will become a demigod.

However, if you want Valley of the Dark Lords to challenge the countless dead Sith Lords, the current Darth-Malthael simply cannot do it. He must step by step and embark on his own road to becoming a king here at the Sith Academy.

He summoned countless undead souls and let them follow his footsteps. At the same time, he also allowed these undead souls to break through the shackles they once had - the chasm between slaves and Sith, that is, the dividing line between the lower and upper levels of the Sith Academy.

The dead originally did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, and did not even dare to set foot on the stairs leading to the upper level. However, under the control of Darth-Malthael, they took this step and rushed up the stairs!

At the same time, it also breaks the barrier between Sith and the slave!

From that moment on, he was fighting against the Sith tradition, and against the entire Sith Academy, the Will left behind by countless Siths from past generations!

What he left was never Sith path...

What he left was Dark path, Death path!

And when he reaches his peak, he is Sith path!

At least on this point, he is worthy of the teachings of Darth-Pregas.

Just like Das-Pregas who is deviant and wants to explain the Force in a scientific way, Das-Malthael also wants to find his own path!

And this road is more difficult than he imagined, because only when he truly becomes Malthael can he see and set foot on his final road that truly belongs to him.

Break through the fog and control your destiny... Easier said than done...

Das-Malthael is still moving forward step by step. He not only has to fight against the Dark Side Force of the entire Sith Academy, but also has to fight against the mental pressure brought to him by the countless dead.

At this moment, the corpse closest to him, the withered and rotten arm, was less than one meter away from his ankle!

As long as he pauses for a moment, he will be caught by countless dead people. Those dead people who are thirsty for his power and his knowledge will tear him into pieces together with his body and soul, and then carry his fragments to wander in the desert of Korriban forever.

However, every time Das-Malthael takes a step forward, the pressure from the Sith Academy will increase!

This cannot be allowed! will of the Sith Cannot allow this class-breaking behavior!

Das-Malthael was already struggling. He even pulled out his own Lightsaber. Countless black ghosts surrounded him, using the power of Lightsaber to activate his own Dark Side Force to resist the pressure of Sith the Will.

During this process, Death Force and Dark Side Force were continuously compressed and fused in his body, gradually becoming his own power - Death Force!

Das-Malthael said nothing, but the expression on his face became more and more ferocious. He has reached the limit now, but there are still ten steps left from the top!

There is no way out, only forward, or death!

No, in this case, death is a mercy! If he fails, what awaits him will be eternal torture!

Level one!

As Darth-Malthael took this step, his body began to undergo amazing changes.

He began to grow old rapidly, fifty, sixty, seventy years old...

Keep going! Second level, third level, fourth level...

As he stepped forward step by step, Das-Malthael's skin began to dry up at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if the moisture had been extracted.

Level 7, Level 8, Level 9...

Das-Malthael's body has completely collapsed. He now looks like a skeleton wrapped in a layer of skin!

At this moment, Sith Academy has become a sea of the dead!

Hundreds of thousands of the dead have completely filled the metal pyramid, squeezing one another along the stairs, layer upon layer, and standing on the bodies of other dead in the untrodden areas.

In the end, it became a pyramid of the dead!

Countless hands stretched out desperately towards Darth-Malthael, trying to catch him.

The nearest corpses stretched out their withered hands and reached Das-Malthael's calves! So this hand grabbed it hard!

At the same time, Das-Malthael took the final step!
