2624. This time and that time
(In order to distinguish it from Grand Judge of Inquisitorius, The Grand Inquisitor here of the Judicial Department will be called High Inquisitor from now on.)
High Inquisitor stood in front of the holographic star map, his pale face was indifferent. He gently stroked his smooth chin and said slowly, "His whereabouts are very strange. Archangel of Death."
Imperial Inquisitorius The first sister, Arden-Lin, stood next to him with her arms folded, looking uninterested, "I told you, I'm not good at tracking. If you have any plans, just do it."
"I want to talk about how he got through our defense line." High Inquisitor pointed at the holographic star map and said, "His choice of Planet Disashi was not random. He had his own logic... Moreover, he was able to pass through the blockade we deployed, and then showed up publicly on the rear planet not far from the defense line, and stayed for enough time until reinforcements arrived. It shows that his purpose is to attract our attention."
"So? He is no longer at Planet Disashi. So, where is he now?" Arden-Lin asked.
"It's not difficult to find his location. Because if it's just to attract attention, he did it. However, I think it's not enough and it didn't achieve the effect he expected." High Inquisitor said coldly, "So, he will definitely appear in public again. We just need to wait. However, I am thinking about another thing."
"What's going on?" Arden-Lin asked.
"His main fleet." High Inquisitor said, "We have detected that Kingdom of Dawn is assembling a fleet at Northern Territory. At this time, Archangel of Death also happened to appear at Northern Territory. This can only mean that they plan to launch an attack at Northern Territory."
"This is something Dunn-Vesex needs to worry about." Arden Lin said coldly, "What we need is to find Archangel of Death. But I also want to remind you that if you plan to kill him, it is impossible for just the two of us."
"I think His Majesty the Emperor also planned this." High Inquisitor said, "This time His Majesty the Emperor was supposed to take action in person, but he has not been able to fight recently, so he asked us to come over. Therefore, our goal is not to kill Archangel of Death... but to hold him back."
A strange look flashed in Arden-Lin's eyes, and she immediately asked, "If it is not convenient for His Majesty the Emperor to come to Northern Territory, could it be that he went to Tepasi?"
A mocking smile appeared on her lips, "It seems that the little black dog Latinal-Tobin died there."
"The people who are going to solve the bad things like Tepasi and Tagge family are Dark Prophet and Kadan." High Inquisitor said.
"Oh? So, the recent rumors about His Majesty the Emperor's poor health are true?" Arden Lin suddenly asked.
"This is not something we need to worry about." High Inquisitor said.
"But he is missing." Arden Lin said, "The opportunity to kill Archangel of Death is right in front of you. I don't think His Majesty the Emperor will lose this opportunity. So... where is His Majesty the Emperor?"
"It is very difficult and dangerous to find a Sith Lord who is in poor health." High Inquisitor stared at Arden-Lin and said calmly, "Because in this state, Sith Lord is the most cunning and cruel state. Once they think that their lives are threatened, they would rather drag all the creatures in the galaxy to be buried with them."
"I understand." Arden-Lin nodded, "In other words, we can only rely on ourselves for this battle?"
"So I said, stall for time. His Majesty the Emperor has more than one secret base. He is recuperating his body somewhere. I believe he will return soon. By then, if Archangel of Death still dares to stay in Northern Territory, then maybe Kingdom of Dawn needs a new king." High Inquisitor sneered.
As they were talking, the siren suddenly sounded, and an officer walked over quickly and said, "Sir, Akuria Planet (Akuria) was attacked! The situation is the same as Planet Disashi!"
High Inquisitor immediately said, "Block Akuria Planet immediately! Send Stalker-class Star Destroyer to completely seal the hyperspace channels around the planet! Then send Lila Super Star Destroyer there immediately!"
"Sir, Lila Super Star Destroyer is currently defending the planet Palin Minor." the officer whispered.
"Then tell Dunn-Vesex. Send Lila over immediately, otherwise, the first sister and I will turn around and leave, leaving him to face Archangel of Death and Kingdom of Dawn's Northern Territory main force by himself." High Inquisitor said coldly.
"Yes... yes... I will report immediately." The officer said quickly with a drop of cold sweat on his forehead.
Meanwhile, Northeastern sector of the galaxy, Dathomir planet.
A shuttle disguised as a civilian spacecraft flew to the surface of the planet and slowly landed close to the planet Core Worlds.
Why Core Worlds?
Because the current Dathomir planet and Core Worlds are very easy to find. Just on the surface of the planet, there is an extremely huge tree growing.
This tree is shaped like a canopy and is extremely huge. The area covered by the tree canopy even reaches tens of kilometers! And the height of the whole tree reached 10,000 meters!
And the most terrifying thing is that this tree is actually blood red!
That's right, the blood-red trunk, blood-red branches, blood-red leaves... seem to have grown after absorbing countless blood.
Such a scene can only be described as a miracle. Because not long ago, Dathomir planet suffered a violent blow from Orbital Bombardment.
A few years ago, Darth-Malthael, who felt the sudden resurrection of Dathomir's Night Queen-Gethzerion, came together with Darth-Sidious to kill the ancient Witch Queen. However, although they seriously injured Gethzerion, she ran away in the end due to the overt and covert fighting and intrigue between the two.
Of course, it would have been very difficult for Darth-Malthael and Darth-Sidious to meet face to face without them immediately fighting to the death. At the same time, it was also because Das-Sidious at that time had not yet understood Force Storm, and his strength could not guarantee defeat of Das-Malthael, so he did not take action when there was still an extremely powerful third party.
Afterwards, Darth-Sidious, who felt that he was being used, was extremely angry and asked the five Imperial-class Star Destroyers he brought to conduct a thorough Orbital Bombardment on the place where they had fought before.
Under such bombing, the area of thousands of kilometers they were in completely burned into a sea of fire, and even formed crystals under the extremely high temperature!
However, in just a few years, the area that was completely crystallized by the Orbital Bombardment bombing returned to its original state, and such an extremely huge bloody tree grew! This situation is completely unbelievable.
After the shuttle stopped, the hatch opened, and a man in a black cloak walked out. He looked up at the literally towering tree in front of him and frowned.
Standing alone in front of such a terrifying giant tree, a person looks extremely small. Because when you look up at the sky, the entire sky is covered by the endless canopy of trees, and you can't even feel any sunlight. There is only a blood-red color, and a mysterious fragrance permeating the air.
The man thought for a moment, then stepped forward and walked into the coverage of the giant tree.
I only saw that this giant tree was very lush. Although it was tens of thousands of meters high, it actually had countless branches spread out dozens of meters above the ground. Moreover, countless aerial roots grew on the branches. Some of these aerial roots even grew into the thickness of a tree, hanging down to the ground to support the branches.
And as it goes deeper, more terrifying scenes appear in front of you.
There are countless sacs hanging on the branches of the giant tree. It seems that these sacs cannot even be distinguished from plants or animals, because they look like sarcomas, which is extremely disgusting.
However, among these bags, I suddenly saw a person! Looking carefully, there are countless night witches, as well as Light Witches!
There are countless witches wrapped in these bags, at least hundreds of thousands or even more! You can even see that the bodies of some of the witches have completely shriveled up and turned into mummies.
It seems that on this giant tree, the entire Dathomir planet, almost all Nightsister Order, and Light Witches should be trapped in the bag and hung up. It was as if these people were all fruits of a giant tree.
No, rather than the fruits, they are the nourishment of this giant tree.
After walking for more than ten kilometers, this person had entered the depths of the giant tree. He raised his hands and found that his left hand had begun to wither. From the elbow down, it was all skin and bones. Countless red dots adhered to the dry skin.
However, he didn't care and just kept going.
"Ah... what did I see? Jie Jie Jie Jie... a broken soul. Jie Jie Jie Jie..." A strange laughter came from the depths of the giant tree.
I only saw an old woman wearing a gorgeous red witch robe with pale skin floating over from the depths of the giant tree. She flew around this person and let out an extremely unpleasant laugh, "Who are you? Xiao Ke Poor thing. You make me feel familiar and strange... Jie Jie Jie Jie. However, you should not be able to move forward... Soon, you will become Sacred Tree's nourishment."
"Ah, Mother Talzin. I didn't expect to see you here." The person said calmly.
"Who are you?" Mother Talzin asked again.
"If I can't move on, then take me to see her." The visitor did not panic at all because he was about to die. He just said calmly, "Take me to see, Night Queen, Gethzerion."
"Jiejiejiejie... What qualifications do you have to meet the great Night Queen...?" Mother Talzin sneered.
"She will meet me," the visitor said.
Mother Talzin began to condense a ball of terrifying and weird green energy in his hand, "Let me do it..."
[Bring her here.] A voice suddenly sounded from all directions. This voice was very unpleasant, like fingernails scratching a blackboard, which made people feel uncomfortable just listening to it.
Mother Talzin was stunned, but she did not dare to disobey the voice and replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will bring him here right away."
As she spoke, she waved her hand gently and saw two branches begin to grow and spread rapidly, sprouting countless air roots to catch the man, and then countless branches and leaves gathered together, like a pair of wings, taking him flying towards the depths of the giant tree.
Their speed was very fast, and it didn't take long before they could see the terrifyingly thick main trunk of the giant tree.
This giant tree that is 10,000 meters high has a trunk that is hundreds of meters in diameter. It looks like a bloody wooden wall that stretches almost to the end of the line of sight.
After coming to the tree trunk, I saw another witch wearing a bright red witch robe standing here. Although she looks no different from Mother Talzin, she is just an old Nightsister Order witch. However, if you use the Force to perceive it, you can find...
The person standing in front of this is not alone.
But the giant tree itself!
The vast and boundless terror the Force is like a bloody sea, swallowing everything and melting everything! Even when you use the Force to perceive it, you will find that the ground part of this giant tree is just the tip of the iceberg. Its extremely developed root system has already penetrated into the entire Dathomir planet!
That's right, the entire planet is part of this giant tree!
The night witch standing in front of her could be any part of the tree. Right now, she was the only one responsible for the conversation.
"Gethzerion... hehehehe, we meet again." The visitor let out a twisted and greasy laugh.
"You are as annoying as ever. Darth-Sidious." Gethzerion said calmly, "But you are Emperor of the Galactic Empire after all, and I should still give you the due etiquette - before I completely swallow up this remnant of your soul, I will give you a chance to speak."
"Darth-Sidious" raised his hand and looked at the shriveled parts of his body that were spreading, but without the slightest fear, he said, "It seems like you didn't give me much time."
He put down his hand, stared at Gethzerion and said, "Let's cooperate. Kill Archangel of Death - Darth-Malthael."
"Jiejiejiejiejie..." Gethzerion laughed strangely, "This is the second time you have made this request, Das-Sidious. This time, what makes you think that I will agree?"
"Because things have changed." Darth-Sidious said, "There is an additional corpse beside Archangel of Death. This corpse is darker and more powerful than Dark Side Force! It can even be said that it is the source of darkness! The Archangel of Death who controls this corpse can only exert one-tenth of the power of this corpse at most, but it is already invincible. I failed."
Gethzerion suddenly fell silent. After a long time, she asked, "Is the corpse you are talking about a bald head with pale skin?"
