Dagger of Mortis!
This only weapon that can kill the Ones is now in the hands of Tang Xiao, and he actually points the dagger directly at his daughter's chest!
"Don't question my determination, daughter." Tang Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "I can tell you that I live for Duchy of Dawn hundreds of billions of people! For them, I would rather sacrifice everything! And what about you? Daughter. What is the meaning of your existence?"
"You can't understand." Her daughter's eyes became sharp. She stared at Tang Xiao, as if she might take action at any time.
"Indeed, I can't understand the meaning of your existence, but you can't understand mine either!" Tang Xiao said word for word, "But, in order to protect this, I would rather give my life! And this is my answer!"
"My son has gone crazy, and are you going to go crazy too?" the daughter said sternly.
"Before you accuse me of being crazy, you should think about what you have done!" Tang Xiao said loudly.
"This is for the balance of the Force!" My daughter also raised her voice.
"If the balance of the Force means sacrificing hundreds of billions of innocent civilians, then what is the difference between this balance and Dark Side!" Tang Xiao roared almost as if to vent.
"You are crazy!" the daughter yelled.
"Then kill me!!" Tang Xiao roared.
The daughter gritted her teeth and was ready to take action. She was about to smash Tang Xiao from the sky, but suddenly, she found that there was something extra in her hand? Sharp, cold...
It's actually Dagger of Mortis!
Tang Xiao actually put Dagger of Mortis into her hands?!
"You...?" The daughter's beautiful eyes widened and she looked at Tang Xiao, dumbfounded. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
However, Tang Xiao just lowered his head and let out a long sigh, "My son asked me to get this dagger, and then asked me to kill my father while he was performing the ceremony."
He took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "He told me that this ceremony requires me to sit in front of 'Father', and then he will put his hand on my forehead. At this time, 'Father' and I will be very close, and he will be immersed in the long river of time and will not notice my movements."
The daughter was silent. She looked down at the dagger in her hand and said slowly, "It seems that he has indeed told you everything."
Her voice gradually became sad, "Did he really intend to kill 'father'? He actually... he actually... you, why did you give the dagger to me? Don't you hate me so much?"
"I do hate you, very much." Tang Xiao said, "But compared to Dark Side, I believe in the light more."
The daughter was a little moved, and she asked doubtfully, "But you are a Sith..."
"You don't know my past, so you naturally don't know what Dark Side means to me." Tang Xiao's eyes were deep and he looked up into the distance, "... it means survival."
"You..." The daughter no longer knew what to say. This was the first time in hundreds of thousands of years that she was so curious about someone.
Countless people have appeared in front of her, all kinds of people. Some are heroic and powerful, some are weird and secretive, and some are evil and wretched... But without exception, those people can see through their past and future at a glance.
Those people are transparent to the Ones like my daughter.
But she couldn't see through Tang Xiao's past and future. There was only a fog in front of her eyes. Moreover, Tang Xiao's behavior completely exceeded her imagination almost every time, which made her very curious about what kind of person Tang Xiao was.
He doesn't seem to be pure Dark Side, he seems more complicated.
"My son is serious this time. I can't do anything about his power, so I handed the dagger to you." Tang Xiao said, "I hope you can give me a chance, but you refused. But... I still hope to give you a chance. Stop my son."
The daughter stared at the dagger in her hand and said, "I will tell 'Father' about this."
However, Tang Xiao smiled coldly and said, "Tell 'Father'? Then I will tell you what will happen. 'Father' will confiscate the dagger and hold it in his hand. And after finding out that I betrayed him, my son will kill me without hesitation, but 'Father' will He won't stop it. Because all he cares about is the broken Force balance... Then he will put Dagger of Mortis back on the altar and warn you not to fight with each other. Then... what has happened countless times in the past hundreds of thousands of years will happen again."
The daughter did not speak, she knew that Tang Xiao was right.
"But the 'father' is weakening. He is no longer able to stop his son. Dagger of Mortis has no effect at all in his hands. When the son sees what has happened, he will not hide his purpose. He will take the dagger back and kill the 'father' and you at the same time. When Mortis collapses, he will escape from here." Tang Xiao said lightly, "Nothing has changed."
The daughter still didn't speak, but her hand holding the dagger trembled slightly and her eyes flickered.
Tang Xiao continued, "You are the only one who can stop my son. But you are no match for my son, so you need this dagger. You don't need to kill him, you just need to hurt him."
"Why are you doing this?" the daughter asked again.
"I fell into darkness, and I know better than anyone else that Dark Side will only lead to death and destruction. Will I count on my son to save the people of Duchy of Dawn? Of course not. From the beginning, he just regarded me as a tool that can be discarded at any time, but I can't die here. Duchy of Dawn hundreds of billions of people are still waiting for me to save! The only thing that can save us is light." Tang Xiao said seriously.
The daughter thought about it again, hung the dagger on her waist, raised her hand and waved it lightly, and the dagger disappeared without a trace. It was almost the same method as her son.
She said seriously, "I will not use Dagger of Mortis to deal with my son."
"This is your choice." Tang Xiao seemed to be expecting it, and was not very excited. "I am sandwiched between you, without any resistance, just like Duchy of Dawn's hundreds of billions of people, because your words will..."
"Stop talking about those people!" His daughter finally got impatient with Tang Xiao talking about hundreds of billions of people and interrupted him.
Tang Xiao smiled, stretched out his hand in a begging gesture, "Then, at least you should save my life, right?"
"Save you?" My daughter didn't know what Tang Xiao wanted to say.
"When I see that I don't have a dagger in my hand, my son will definitely kill me immediately." Tang Xiao said, "So, at least you should give me a fake dagger so that I can hide it from my son."
"If I give you a fake dagger, your son won't kill you?" The daughter still didn't quite understand.
"My son will not think that I can reach an agreement with you after seeing my previous behavior towards you. Therefore, if you give me a dagger that can hide it from him, he will not worry too much. As for after the ceremony started, I was next to 'father'. If my son really wanted to kill me, at least I could hide behind 'father'." Tang Xiao said.
The daughter thought for a while, lowered her height, picked a branch from a tree and handed it to Tang Xiao.
This branch immediately turned into something like Dagger of Mortis.
