563. Trafficking

Das-Malthael was not in a hurry to get the Sith artifact-Kresh's Gauntlet that was placed in front of him. He was just looking at these murals carefully.

Through these murals, he also began to understand the life of Lucien Del Rey, especially his long battle with Sith Lord Hassen in his early years. Kresh's Gauntlet was in the hands of Hassen at that time. With the powerful power of this gauntlet, Hassen was almost invincible, and no one could defeat him.

But in the end, Lucian Dre still won. He killed Hassen and sealed Kresh's Gauntlet. But he still got caught up in the scandal of the genocide against the Mandalorian. In the end, Jedi Covenant was forced to disband. He also lost his eyes and went into self-exile as a guilty person.

However, although Lucien Del Rey could no longer see the scenery in front of him, his cultivation was getting better and better, and he could already see the more distant future. He used Dray family's inheritance to buy this remote satellite and built a magnificent temple on it, preparing to rebuild Jedi Covenant here.

But New Jedi Covenant was not rebuilt, and Lucien Delray gave up the idea. He also came to the end of his life here. The grand Jedi temple above Drai II has remained silent to this day, having gone through more than three thousand years of wind and frost.

"This is not just a mausoleum, it is also connected to an even larger temple! It was built by Lucian Dre for his unfinished wish - New Jedi Covenant!" Das-Malthael said in a deep voice.

"This place is more dangerous than we imagined." Justin-Levis said, "There is a hidden compartment under the 20 surrounding pillars, and there is a robot squatting inside each, which is in an inactive state."

"It's best not to provoke those robots. Don't touch anything. All the objects in this tomb have been nourished by the power of Kresh's Gauntlet for 3,000 years. Everything here is indestructible." Das-Malthael said.

"So... you never touched this gauntlet?" Tour-Ulan was still frightened by the huge robot just now.

Das-Malthael walked forward, stood in front of the stone coffin, and said calmly, "Since you are here to be a guest, naturally you have to inform the owner here. Wake up, Lucien Del Rey, after three thousand years, you should also open your eyes and take a look at this dark and decaying galaxy."

A phantom slowly appeared from the coffin, and then slowly solidified under the guidance of Das-Malthael Death Force. An old man with gray beard and long hair, although he looked a bit slovenly, gradually appeared with a majestic image.

"Who... are you? Why do you want to wake me up from death..." the old man asked slowly.

"I am a confused soul who wants to ask for guidance from my ancestors." Darth-Malthael bowed slightly, "Master Lucien Del Rey, after 3,000 years, the galaxy is once again in crisis of destruction. Jedi Order is no longer able to reverse all this, so I need your guidance."

"Your power is full of ominousness and death! Who are you?" Lucien Del Rey's soul suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were empty, but he seemed to be able to see through everything.

Das-Malthael waved, and Justin-Levis stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves as if in a tacit understanding, and then pulled out a dagger and slashed his hand, causing blood to drip from his hand.

Then, I saw Das-Malthael raising his hand and gently brushing it on Levis's wound, and injected a stream of Life Force into it. The wound immediately started to appear at a speed visible to the naked eye. Healing, "Life and death are two sides of the universe... If your predecessor, as the leader of Jedi Covenant, is still obsessed with the pros and cons of all things, then you are no different from the current Jedi Order."

"What do you want to express? What happened to Jedi Order now?" Lucian Dre asked sharply.

"Your eyes can see through the future... Why don't you come and see for yourself..." Das-Malthael sighed and sat cross-legged, holding the coffin. He was not polite at all, just like an old acquaintance.

Lucian Del Rey opened his hands and groped in the void, his empty eyes bursting with intense light, "Darkness... I only saw darkness! I can't see the future."

You can't see it. An imperceptible sneer flashed across the corner of Darth-Malthael's mouth, "The Milky Way has been split. The two major forces have divided the Milky Way into two. A civil war is starting that affects the entire Milky Way. Every day, countless innocent lives die as a result."

"Isn't it true that Sith Empire is not dead yet?!"

"No, Sith Empire was completely destroyed 1,000 years ago, and Galactic Republic won the war. However, 1,000 years later, power of the Dark Side made a comeback. Now the two sides in the war are Galactic Republic, and from Galactic Republic went out independently...Confederacy of Independent Systems. And the leaders of both sides are named Das-Sidious, and the other is named Das-Tyranus." Das-Malthael shook his head and sighed.

"I don't quite understand what you mean. Why should the leader of Galactic Republic be named Darth name?" Lucian Dre asked.

"Because Das-Sidious is the current Chancellor of the Galactic Republic." Das-Malthael said.

"This is impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible. Darth-Tyranus is the apprentice of Darth-Sidious. The entire civil war is a conspiracy of Sith. Through this war, dissidents will be eliminated and the power of Jedi Order will be weakened, and then When the time comes, replace it... Although Sith Empire has been destroyed, Sith can fulfill their ambitions by usurping Galactic Republic," said Das-Malthael.

"Is Jedi Order just a decoration?" Lucian Dre roared.

"A Sith Lord who has the wisdom and ability to sit on the position of speaker is no longer something Jedi Order can fight against. In fact, as you can see, the future of the entire galaxy is shrouded in Dark Side, and Jedi Order's power is also weakening day by day. If we experience such a civil war again, the outcome is already doomed." Das-Malthael said.

"So what role do you play in it?" Lucian Dray asked.

"I was not accepted by Jedi Order, so I ran away alone and now serve as the governor of a planet. In this war where both sides are enemies, I am struggling to survive." Das-Malthael said.

"Why aren't you accepted by Jedi Order?"

"Because of my research...Life Force."

"This doesn't make sense!"

"Life Force includes life, and naturally also includes death... and the end of life is Immortality..."

"If I were still alive, I would never banish you."

"Oh? Then..."

"I will kill you directly! The blasphemer who wants to seek Immortality! Get out of here!!!"

Das-Malthael smiled instead of angry. He said slowly, "Soon you will know that I am your only link in this world, and the future of the galaxy is moving forward step by step towards Abyss... We will meet again."
