1484. Order 66 (Execute Order 66) (1)

Destruction... death...

Horrible dreams have been tormenting Anakin-Skywalker for several days. When did it start?

Probably, it was the day when the turmoil at Coruscant began.

Is it because Sith Lord Das-Sidious has taken control of the highest level of power of Galactic Republic? If this is the case, should I be like the radicals Jedi Order and prepare to fight to the end?

Anakin-Skywalker sat on the edge of the bed, calmed down his messy mood, then straightened his clothes and walked out.

When he walked out of the room, everyone Jedi Knight he saw along the way looked at him strangely, either with hostility or doubt. But Anakin-Skywalker didn't care. He was used to these looks.

In fact, even if these recent events had not happened, as the protagonist of the Chosen One rumors, and the person Qui-Gon-Master Jin insisted on earning an exceptional income from Jedi Order, Anakin-Skywalker had been looking at him like this since he was a child.

Now Jedi Order is still confronting Clone Army of Galactic Republic. Jedi Knight, headed by Shake Ti, rejected the previous motion of Speaker Sheev-Palpatine and refused to open their library. Therefore, Galactic Republic also refused to let Jedi Order leave.

Now, people from both sides are in intense negotiations, but there has been no result.

Faced with one hundred thousand Clone Trooper who surrounded Jedi Temple, Jedi Order did not choose to use force directly. As for Galactic Republic, naturally they would not take the initiative to resort to force against Jedi Order. They just surrounded the temple and cut off the temple's communications.

However, as a token of 'respect', Jedi Temple's food, supplies and medicines were supplied as usual.

Anakin-Skywalker walked towards the top of the tower of Jedi Temple. He wanted to go to Shake Ti, the current leader of Jedi Order, to talk about his recent nightmare.

Now in Jedi Order, he doesn't have many friends anymore. All the Jedi Knights who were close to him were dying and leaving, so that he was full of worries but had no one to talk to.

There is only Shake-Ti... After all, even in the past, among High Council, Shake-Ti was the one who took better care of him.

However, when Anakin-Skywalker walked to the top of the tower, he saw Shakti nervously discussing the current situation with more than a dozen Jedi Master, and it seemed that she had no time to pay attention to him.

He was about to turn around and leave, but Shakti spotted him. She took the initiative and said, "Anakin, do you have something to say? Come here."

Anakin nodded and walked into the meeting hall.

In the meeting hall, Shakti is currently sitting where she once was. Even though she has become the leader of Jedi Order, Master Yoda's former position is still vacant.

Master Yoda is not dead yet, he just disappeared mysteriously. Although this news came from Anakin-Skywalker, and it came after he returned safely from Palpatine's office, Jedi Order believed him.

It's not that they believe in Anakin, but that they really hope in their hearts that the news is true.

"I can only say, I'm sorry, Anakin. The situation we are in now is indeed very desperate. But even so, we still need to find a feasible way out of it." Shake-ti said, "Are you looking for me for something?"

Anakin nodded, walked over and said, "I have been dreaming these past few days, the same dream."

"Jedi Knight doesn't dream randomly. All dreams are inspired by the Force. In the current situation, maybe your dream can be helpful to us." Shake Ti nodded and said.

"I dreamed... of death and destruction. Endless death, endless destruction... everyone died, all life, all civilization, were destroyed... the Milky Way became a dead silence." Anakin-Skywalker When talking about his dream, his voice was still trembling.

Everything in that dream gave him immense fear and shock.

He didn't even dare to look at the power that destroyed everything in the dream! Because he felt that even if he took a look, the terrible death and destruction would befall him!

Shakti frowned and thought.

Next to him, Jedi Master Coleman-Kakaji said a little coldly, "Sith Lord has become the supreme speaker of Galactic Republic. So, it is not surprising that Force talent can see the future of destruction."

"The feeling that that power gave me was not Sheev-Palpatine. Instead, it was someone else." Anakin-Skywalker said.

"Up to now, are you still speaking for that Sith Lord?" Coleman-Kakaji asked.

His words made Anakin-Skywalker's face suddenly become gloomy.

Shake-Ti immediately interrupted, "Master Kekaji, what you said just now is very inappropriate. You know, there is not only one Sith Lord in this galaxy. There is also Darth-Malthael."

"The Speaker did tell me that Darth-Malthael is performing a very evil ritual on Planet Korriban. Once successful, he will become more powerful and darker." Anakin-Skywalker said.

"So, do you think the dream you saw was Darth-Malthael?" Shake Ti asked.

"Although I'm not sure, I think it's very likely." Anakin-Skywalker replied.

Shake Ti sighed and said, "So this is why we must eliminate every Sith Lord. The existence of every Sith Lord is a fatal threat to this galaxy."

Anakin-Skywalker lowered his head and said nothing, because he found that he and these two Sith Lord had a deep connection and bond.

He has been confused about this and doesn't know how to deal with it.

"Rather than worrying about this, the more realistic thing is how to deal with the situation in front of us." Coleman-Kakaji said, "We should immediately organize all combat-type Jedi Knight, break into Republic Senate Building, and kill Darth-Sidious!"

"Then if this is the case, my dream will undoubtedly come true!" Anakin-Skywalker blurted out, but then he realized that his words were inappropriate.

"Nothing is a reason for us to let go of Sith Lord, Anakin. It shouldn't be in such a threatening tone..." Shake-ti said, her tone already a little alienated, "Since Da Si-Sidious has not restricted you, so you may be able to go to him again and see if you can get a solution. If that doesn't work, then we, Jedi Order, will take the final action."

Anakin-Skywalker turned pale, "If this is the case, many of us will die! And regardless of the success or failure of the operation, it will be a serious blow to Galactic Republic... especially since we are still in the war..."

"Galactic Republic should not be the reason for us to judge the situation of the Force." Shakti said, "For this war, we have given up too many bottom lines and violated too many creeds. I believe that this is the important reason why we are in this situation today."

"A Jedi Order should not be intimidated by a Sith Lord, no matter what it is," Coleman-Kakaji said.

Anakin-Skywalker lowered his head, he knew what Coleman Kerkaji meant. For Jedi Order, this sentence has a very serious meaning. Because this means that Jedi Order would rather sacrifice everything, even the lives of ordinary people, in order to eliminate Sith Lord!

But he didn't know how to refute. He lowered his head and thought for a long time before saying, "I will go to the Speaker again. I hope this matter can be solved in a better way."

Before he finished speaking, the communicator rang. Anakin-Skywalker looked down and his expression suddenly changed.

The ones who sent the communication were Sheev-Palpatine——Chancellor of the Galactic Republic.

Shakti smiled slightly and made an inviting gesture toward the door. Anakin-Skywalker bowed deeply to everyone present, then turned and left the meeting hall.

He didn't know at this moment that this would be the last time he would set foot here, as Jedi Knight.

Looking at his back, Coleman Kecaji shook his head and said, "He still calls Das-Sidious as the Speaker... Deep in his heart, he still has not accepted this reality."

Shake-Ti didn't speak, she just looked at the direction Anakin left with a very complicated expression.

Returning to his dormitory, Anakin-Skywalker opened the communication. In the holographic projection, the usual gentle face of Speaker Sheev-Palpatine was projected.

"I have something to ask you, Anakin." Palpatine said.

"I don't think I, as Jedi Knight, can have anything to say to a Sith Lord." Anakin-Skywalker looked very painful.

"I just want to talk to you about the dream that I have seen repeatedly in the past few days... a dream of destruction..." Sheev-Palpatine suddenly said something that was almost explosive.

Anakin-Skywalker jumped up from the stool. His eyes widened and he looked at Palpatine in disbelief, "What did you say? You actually... you actually dreamed of this too?!"

"If it were normal times, I would be very happy with the tacit understanding between us. But now, your answer only makes me more panicked. Come here." Palpatine said.

Anakin-Skywalker nodded.

He walked out of the dormitory to the hall at the entrance of Jedi Temple, and then walked out. Along the way, he walked through the hundreds of Jedi Knight who were confronting Clone Army, and came directly to Clone Trooper's position.

Afterwards, he took a Speeder provided to him by Clone Trooper in full public view and flew in the direction of Republic Senate Building.

Jedi Knight who witnessed this scene, everyone's heart was filled with inexplicable anger.

Anakin-Skywalker was sitting in the car when his communicator buzzed. When he looked down, it was a message from his secret lover, Naboo Senator Padmé-Amidala.

She wanted Anakin to see her as soon as possible.

Anakin-Skywalker thought for a while, sent a message back asking her to wait for a while, and then went directly to Chancellor's Office.

"Archangel of Death——Dass-Malthael, he has succeeded." Seeing Anakin come in, Sheev-Palpatine said straightforwardly, straight to the point.

"You mean, his dark and evil ritual?" Anakin-Skywalker frowned.

"That's right. He conquered Valley of the Dark Lords. Now ancient Sith Empire has the largest area left and is also the most important Relics, which has become his possession." Palpatine said.

"Planet Korriban's geographical location cannot be touched by Separatists. What's the point of him doing this?" Anakin-Skywalker asked again.

"The countless powerful Sith spirit among Valley of the Dark Lords will be the most powerful help to Darth-Malthael. Don't forget, he is in control of Death Force... those Sith spirit will make him even more powerful." Palpatine said, "And this may be the reason why I saw that dream."

"You mean, the destruction in the dream was caused by Darth-Malthael?" Anakin asked.

"You know Anakin, there is no way I would let Galactic Republic get hurt! This is the goal I have been striving for all my life. Maybe you Jedi Order can't No matter what happens to Galactic Republic, but I will! I will protect Galactic Republic until the end!" Sheev-Palpatine said firmly.

"But you are Sith Lord!" Anakin-Skywalker said in a very heavy tone.

"Why do you think I became Chancellor of the Galactic Republic? To destroy the goal I worked so hard to achieve? No! This is my life goal and dream! Galactic Republic has too many hidden dangers and disadvantages. I want to establish a A more powerful and prosperous regime! I won't let anyone destroy this!" Palpatine became excited, and he continued, "Let's kill Archangel of Death!"

Anakin-Skywalker walked to the other side of Republic Senate Building in a daze. Many members passed by him along the way. It seemed that a meeting had just ended here.

Many congressmen also greeted Anakin very friendly, seemingly unaware that the atmosphere between Galactic Republic and Jedi Order was already tense.

I don't know why, but Anakin-Skywalker feels like I quite like it here.

Is it because you often come to Republic Senate Building? Or is it because his lover is also here?

Anakin himself couldn't tell. He just felt that there would be endless pressure at Jedi Order, which would almost make him overwhelmed. But here, it doesn't.

Opening the door, Padmé's assistant took Anakin into the room and closed the door.

The moment the door closed, a fragrant wind blew in, followed by a warm and fragrant soft jade hug...
