2442. Return to Mortis (Part 2)

Land of the Everlasting Sleep is a very desolate hilly area among Mortis. When the three the Ones were still there, there was almost nothing here but a hill and a solitary building.

I don't know whether the Ones built this place in advance as his own mausoleum, or whether it was originally used for someone else, and now that his son is dead, it is used as a temporary mausoleum.

There are so many mysteries surrounding the Ones. Even Tang Xiao, who is familiar with the plot of "Star Wars", is still confused about their origins (this is actually the fault of the setting).

The Ones are not gods. Compared to omniscient and omnipotent gods, they are more human. In other words, they will be more influenced by their own emotions, and all seemingly detached behaviors are essentially just a sense of superiority brought about by the extremely powerful power.

So what happened between the real God and these the Oness? Does God still exist? What does the existence and death of the Ones mean now?

Even Tang Xiao cannot explain these problems at all.

But now, faced with Das-Sidious's plan, he had to focus on the Ones.

Darth-Sidious is even willing to sacrifice the lives of the entire galaxy to achieve his ambition of becoming a god, but the future envisioned by Tang Xiao is far from that. This fundamental difference has led to a huge gap in the current strength comparison between the two!

If it weren't for the reminder from Luminara-Master Unduli at that time, maybe Tang Xiao would still be in the dark now.

In the previous short confrontations, he had suffered some hidden losses from Das-Sidious. Such thoughts might eventually kill him!

Tang Xiao came to Mortis this time to solve this fatal problem for him.

Landing in front of the lonely building Land of the Everlasting Sleep, the daughter turned into a human form, looked at Tang Xiao, and asked, "How did you get here?"

"I originally just wanted to give it a try. Because I have been here." Tang Xiao replied calmly, "The power of Dark Archon opened a rift in time and space for me. But I think the greater possibility is that my son's death was caused by my fault, which made me become a part of Mortis to a certain extent."

"Is the Dark Archon you are talking about the existence that rescued you last time?" the daughter said, "I have never seen such a species in the galaxy."

"They do not belong to this galaxy." Tang Xiao said. He thought for a while and suddenly asked, "With your abilities, you should be able to go to other galaxies outside the Milky Way, right?"

Indeed, the Ones once taught Kilik Swarm to build a miraculous structure like Midpoint Station. If they can build such a terrifying structure that can move stars throughout the galaxy, their technological capabilities should be able to easily leave this galaxy.

However, the daughter shook her head and said, "No. But I can feel that even if we go to other galaxies, we will not be able to see such a species. It can even be said that he does not belong to this universe."

Tang Xiao was stunned. For no reason, he suddenly felt a sense of fear.

The Ones Can't leave this galaxy? And the daughter can feel that the last Olegar does not belong to this universe?

What does this mean?

Maybe there is another invisible hand controlling all of this!

Tang Xiao looked away and said slowly, "You don't know your origins, do you?"

The daughter glanced at him, but did not answer the question.

Tang Xiao didn't worry about this. He took out the heavy key and looked for the keyhole on the door of the building, but found nothing.

At this time, the daughter raised her hand and waved, and the key flew up out of thin air. It began to change in mid-air and turned into a light green ball of light. Then the ball of light flew to the door of this building and immediately blended into it.

Then there was a roar, and the thick stone door opened.

The daughter looked at Tang Xiao again and said, "If you can really become one of us, then you will find that everything you insist on now is meaningless."

"So, what is meaningful?" Tang Xiao asked.

The daughter shook her head and said, "The key that your father gave you just now is just a key in your eyes. But it is not like that in my eyes. You see it as a key because you think it is a key. That's all."

"I have no interest in becoming one of you. But I vaguely understand why you are like this." Tang Xiao said, stepping in.

Even though the key is illusory, the building is real and the door is real. This structure, which is the same as people's lifestyle, actually fully explains the essence of the Ones.

Tang Xiao I just can't understand why the Ones appears.

The daughter just stood at the door and had no intention of following. She just looked at Tang Xiao's back with a complicated expression.

In this building of Land of the Everlasting Sleep, there was not the terrifyingly powerful Dark Side Force as expected. On the contrary, there was only an aura of desolation, which even made Tang Xiao feel a trace of unreasonable sadness.

Is the Force sad?

Tang Xiao Arriving at the center of this small building, he saw three tomb-like grooves, one of which had been covered by a stone slab with a very abstract picture carved on it. In this picture, you can vaguely see the appearance of a person, but there are countless forms at the same time, including animals, plants, insects... all kinds of things.

He didn't think too much about the meaning behind the picture. He just squatted down and pushed the stone away with force. He did not use the Force, so it was still difficult to push the heavy stone slab.

The body of the 'son' was lying inside.

He seemed to be just sleeping. He didn't look like a corpse at all, just lying quietly.

There is still nothing strange around, but Tang Xiao can clearly feel the terrifying Dark Side Force contained in this corpse! Tang Xiao can even feel that even the darkness of the entire galaxy combined cannot compare with the darkness in this!

It can really be said that the 'son' is the incarnation of Dark Side!

Tang Xiao's eyes became sharp, and he decided to carry out a crazy action——

Use your own Death Force to resurrect your 'son'!

This plan was born in his mind from the moment he sensed Mortis while meditating. Then it began to take root crazily, lingering until it took over his entire brain.

That's right, resurrect the 'son'! Use the power of the Ones for your own use!!

There is a secret connection between the Force.

The Ones is indeed not a god, but the relationship between them and the Force is much deeper than other people, and they can even affect the operation of the Force.

The last time Tang Xiao came to Mortis, his plan killed his son. From that moment on, the fate between him and his 'son' has been tied together. This is not a connection that can be severed by him leaving Mortis.

He can even transcend space and time and feel the terrifying Dark Side Force of his 'son'!

Tang Xiao doesn't know what will happen to such a connection, or how it will appear. He can only touch this connection bit by bit to test what kind of existence it is and whether it is a trap of the 'son'.

Until he discovered that the connection between his 'son' had no purpose, no consciousness and no life, that crazy idea gradually became real.

Since then, Tang Xiao has been studying how to get to Mortis and how to use the power of 'son'.

However, he found that no matter how hard he studied, it was in vain. Mortis is in another dimension. In this place, he can never figure out how to use his 'son'. The only way is to go to Mortis in person!

While the Milky Way outside has become a pot of porridge, Tang Xiao has been hiding in his Dark Altar and constantly researching. When Sefrans-Tann asked him to fight, that is when he was about to find the way to Mortis, so Tann and Qi Jian could see that Tang Xiao was basically in a state of switching back and forth between the two spaces.

Yes, this is the power of Protoss Dark Archon.

For the understanding of space, no one or any race can compare with Protoss! Back then, Olegar relied on his seven-in-one terrifying power to forcibly tear apart the space and take Tang Xiao away from Mortis. But this time, Tang Xiao is going to use the same method to return here.

Although his power is still not as good as Olegar, with this connection with his 'son', he can do this more easily. At the same time, he did not think about how to return.

If it succeeds, then he can naturally come back after gaining the power of the Ones, but if not, then it will be useless even if he can come back. Because with the normal way of practice, he is no longer the Force who practiced the Force more than 30 years earlier than him, and is planning to cause war and killing unscrupulously, disturb the Force, and want to become Force Storm's Das-Sidious opponent.

What's more, Tang Xiao is now deeply attracted by the power of his 'son'! He must get this power! Must get it!

As long as I can get the power of my 'son', the entire galaxy will immediately fall at my feet! I am the god of this galaxy!!

Tang Xiao looked at the 'son' lying in front of him, his expression gradually became ferocious and greedy.

Suddenly, a clear force exploded in his mind. Tang Xiao trembled all over and his eyes became clear. He looked at the body of his 'son' in front of him, his expression changed drastically and he took several steps back.

[You shouldn't touch such power, it doesn't belong to you, it doesn't even... should belong to the mortal world.] Lucian Dre's voice came from his mind.

"Shut up! I asked you to come here with me just to help me solve this problem!" Tang Xiao growled through gritted teeth.

[At the moment when you really faced this power, do you really still have the confidence to accomplish everything you had planned?] Lucian Dre asked rhetorically.

"Of course I don't want to accept such power directly. If that were the case, I would undoubtedly turn into a Dark Side beast! There is no possibility of survival at all!" Tang Xiao said with a ferocious expression, "So, I just want this body now!"

[You deceived the 'father' and the 'daughter'.]

"Do you think they can be deceived so easily? No, they just think they can give it a try."

[Then how can you be sure that the 'son's' consciousness has completely dissipated? ] Lucian Dre said, [Once his consciousness is still there, he is likely to counterattack your control, and you will be killed by him immediately!]

"This is why the 'daughter' is standing outside holding Dagger of Mortis." Tang Xiao said.

[Are you sure she will help you?]

"She's not helping me, she just doesn't want to see the destruction of all life in the galaxy." Tang Xiao said coldly, "Mortis's restraint on the 'daughter' has long since disappeared, and she can leave at any time. Naturally, she doesn't want to see the 'son' run out and wreak havoc on the galaxy."

[Then the question is still before you, how should you deal with your 'son's' body? Soul Reaper Sword is still there with Olegar, which makes your chance of success even smaller.] Lucian Dre said.

"Soul Reaper Sword What am I doing at this time? Do I still dare to absorb my 'son' into Soul Reaper Sword? Then something even more terrifying will appear immediately, and no one will be spared." Tang Xiao said as he came back to the body of his 'son', stretched out his hand with a solemn expression, and tapped his forehead gently.

In an instant, an extremely huge force and an extremely huge message crashed directly towards Tang Xiao!

This power is so powerful that it is unimaginable, and the information is also immeasurable. Even Kingdom of Dawn, all the supercomputers in the country combined, will be overwhelmed by the amount of information in an instant!

This is natural. If nothing else, just Midpoint Station, which can move every star in the entire galaxy, the amount of data for this miracle can reach an astronomical figure!

Tang Xiao tried his best to escape from such a terrifying impact. Even though there was invincible power and invincible technology, he didn't even dare to touch these things, because if he was not careful, such terrifying power would instantly knock him to pieces!

Outside, the 'daughter' looked at the horrifying Dark Side Force inside the building soaring into the sky. She frowned. Dagger of Mortis was already in her hand, ready to rush in at any time and kill everyone in it.

Tang Xiao was right. Of course she wouldn't believe the nonsense that he was really doing it for the Force's balance. However, it was certain that the death of his 'son' caused the already unbalanced the Force to become even more out of control. The death of his 'son' will not make Dark Side Force weak. On the contrary, the out-of-control Dark Side Force will become more violent and terrifying.

Just as expected by Darth-Sidious.
