577. Lost person
"How long has it been since I died?" Lucian Dre suddenly asked.
"More than 3,000 years. It is also more than 25,000 years since the founding of Galactic Republic." Das-Malthael answered.
"So... why do I still have to worry about this... For me, this is already in the past..." Lucian Dre sighed sadly.
I don't know what he was thinking about these past few days while he was hiding in his tomb and watching the news in the galaxy.
"For you, it may be over, but for me, this has just begun." Darth-Malthael said proudly, "I will not sit back and watch the galaxy fall into the hands of Darth-Sidious. I will fight to the end. I need strength and time... So, I want Immortality!"
"With such an idea, you are only one step away from Dark Side." Lucian Dre seemed to look away, and he said nonchalantly.
"I will take away Kresh's Gauntlet and open your temple. I will... rebuild Jedi Covenant. However, the name Jedi will no longer exist." Das-Malthael said, "The one born in your temple will be... Twilight Covenant!"
"Can you tell me the reason?" Lucien Del Rey was not as angry as Darth-Malthael thought, but asked calmly.
"Dusk... the junction of light and darkness. I have seen the future, the Force, will definitely return to balance. Whether Jedi Order or Sith Lord, they will all return to nothingness. This is destruction and rebirth, and the Force, I will be sublimated in this balance." Das-Malthael opened his hands and said, "I don't know what will happen to me in this process, because I am only a small part of this great process. Maybe I will be destroyed, and the seeds of a new era will be born on my corpse, but..."
His eyes were so hot that they almost burst into flames, "I will fight to the end!"
After saying that, he walked step by step to the coffin, his body passed directly through the illusory figure of Lucien Del Rey, and then... held the Ancient Sith artifact floating in front of him - Kresh's Gauntlet!
The extremely powerful Dark Side Force surged out from the gauntlet, and at this moment, the Dark Side Force of Das-Malthael could no longer hide it, and merged into one with the the Force of the gauntlet. This force was so powerful that it even formed a powerful dark storm around it!
Powerful power nourishes Das-Malthael's body, and he only feels that his power is unimaginably powerful!
What followed was the pleasure of controlling everything. Such power made him feel like he could even own the entire universe!
Das-Malthael's expression was full of fanaticism. He slowly put the glove on his left wrist, closed his eyes, and felt his Dark Side Force becoming more and more powerful.
After a while, he opened his eyes again. At this moment, he only felt that everything around him was different. He could even see the passage of time on all the objects around him!
Turning his head to look, he found Lucien Del Rey still floating there, looking at him with a strange look.
"Consistent with my guess, you have indeed fallen to the Dark Side. A person who wants to pursue power and pursue Immortality has already fallen into darkness when he comes up with such an idea." Lucien Del Rey said lightly.
"But you didn't think of coming to stop me." Das-Malthael said sarcastically, "That's right, because you should have discovered long ago that in fact you can't do anything!"
"Everything here is yours... In fact, in the past few days, I have shut down all the defense systems. In addition, I can also tell you that on the chest of my corpse, there is a string of numbers, which is the authorization key. With this thing, you can also control these 20 temple Guardian robots." Lucien Delray pointed to the 20 pillars in front of him.
"Looks like I have to thank you too. Hahahaha..." Das-Malthael laughed, "I will do what I say, Jedi Covenant will be rebuilt in my hands! Regardless of light or darkness..."
"You're welcome. It's just the rent..." Lucien Del Rey said, and his body began to emit bursts of soft light, golden, but not dazzling, just like the warm sun in winter.
Das-Malthael immediately realized something was wrong, "What do you want to do?!" He immediately launched his Death Force, but Lucien Del Rey's the Will was so firm that it was not under his control at all!
All I saw was Lucien Del Rey's shadow turned into a faint golden light, and actually submerged directly into Kresh's Gauntlet, turning into a golden gem and embedded in the back of his hand.
Kresh's Gauntlet had just merged with the power of Darth-Malthael, and he immediately felt that Lucien Del Rey's soul was wandering around this endless darkness.
"What do you want to do? Old man! You should know that with your current insignificant power, it is impossible to have the slightest impact on me! Even your existence is due to my power!" Darth-Malthael immediately took precautions, and at the same time, he also felt the weak soul of Lucien Del Rey.
It has been more than 3,000 years. Even after being resurrected under the influence of his Death Force, Lucien Del Rey's soul has long been weak. In front of the powerful and tenacious soul of Darth-Malthael, it is as powerless as trying to shake a building with a feather.
"I just want to witness it, young Sith Lord." Lucian Dre said with a slight smile.
"I saw a lot of things after you came in. However, I always thought that you Jedi Covenant would draw swords on every Sith Lord that appeared in front of you and fight to the death!" After discovering that he could not expel Lucien Del Rey's soul from the gauntlet, Darth Malthael was no longer angry, because he also knew that Lucien Del Rey could not do anything now. So he calmed down and said calmly.
"I have seen countless Siths in my life, strong, weak, arrogant, cowardly... but you are the most interesting one." Lucian Dre said, "I can't wait to see what you can do in this galaxy shrouded in darkness."
"Then you'd better stop playing tricks, old guy." Das-Malthael snorted coldly.
Wuwuwu... a childish cry kept coming.
Edra-Kestis opened his eyes suddenly, but only saw darkness and nothing around him. Apart from this burst of crying that sounded familiar, nothing could be seen...
She groped her surroundings and found nothingness. She squatted down and touched her feet again. There was also nothing, but she stood here strangely.
Edra-Kestis frowned and wanted to pull out Lightsaber from his waist, but was surprised to find that he was not wearing that black tights, just an ordinary dress.
She had no choice but to move on following the cries.
After walking for who knows how long, she finally saw a little girl squatting on the ground and sobbing bitterly. This was a Tirek little girl with blue skin like sapphire.
This cry is really annoying!
Edra-Kestis Suddenly there was a fire in her heart. She walked over and wanted to kick the crying little girl away. However, she just took a few steps and suddenly stopped.
Because she found this little girl so familiar! No, not just familiar! This is...
Yes... who wouldn't be familiar with themselves?
This little girl is obviously her childhood self!
"You... I..." Edra-Kestis was stunned. She thought for a moment, then walked over and asked in a deep voice, "What are you crying for?"
However, when I was a child, I didn't say a word, just buried my head and kept crying.
"She is lost, of course she will cry." came the voice of an old man.
Edra-Kestis suddenly turned around, only to find that an old man had appeared beside him! I only saw that he was tall and energetic, and it seemed that he should have been a powerful warrior when he was young.
"Who are you!! Why are you here!!" Edra-Kestis asked sharply.
"In his soul, there are several small threads connected to several different people, and among them, I see you... This is the only thing I can do." The old man said, "Oh, you can call me... Old Man Lucian."
"What do you want to do?! Where is this?!" Edra-Kestis asked again.
"Isn't this your own heart?" The old man said with a smile.
"You..." Edra-Kestis was furious and stepped forward to beat him.
However, the old man waved his hand, and his figure suddenly dispersed like smoke, and then regrouped a few meters away. He shook his head and said, "While you are still here, let's help this poor little girl find her way home, okay?"
Edra-Kestis looked at the old man, then at himself as a child, and nodded slowly.
The old man walked over, gently helped the little girl up, patted her shoulder, and said, "Sometimes, the reason why you get lost is not because the road is bumpy or because you are in a maze, but because... you are not determined enough to move forward..."
