886. Dreams and illusions (2)

Lightsaber represents the belief of Jedi Knight. When a Jedi Knight gives up his Lightsaber, it means that she gives up her Jedi Knight identity.

Mace-Windu picked up Lightsaber, pressed the button, and with a swish sound, the green light blade popped out instantly, adding a brilliance to this colorful jungle.

"You shouldn't be here." A hoarse voice suddenly came.

Master Windu reacted very quickly, and in an instant he came to the direction of the sound. He only saw a figure flashing past!

"Master Barris!" Master Windu shouted.

The man stopped and turned around.

Indeed, he is one of the members of Jedi Order High Council, one of the best swordsman masters, and his most admired apprentice - Depa-Barris.

But the reason why Mace-Windu can recognize her is entirely because they have known each other for decades, because now Depa-Barris has almost changed into a different person.

Her figure had lost more than one circle of weight, her cheeks were sunken, her brows were dull, and her long hair was roughly cut off, leaving only short hair like weeds. The robe she was wearing was dirty and torn, like a beggar. A dirty piece of cloth was wrapped around her forehead, covering the orb on her forehead.

Master Windu knows that Depa-Barris is a Chalactan (Chalactan) person. This very religious and mysterious race has a ritual in which gems are nailed into a person's forehead to express the achievements that person has achieved.

These gems are called Chalactan, which is the same as the name of their race.

When the first trial is completed, the first gem will be nailed into the bridge of the nose, and when the person becomes the most outstanding person, the second, larger gem will be nailed into the center of the eyebrows.

Depa-Barris, there are two gems. The one on the bridge of her nose is called 'Explorer', which shows her perseverance in exploring the true knowledge of the Force. The one between her eyebrows is called 'The Supreme One', which is a recognition of her achievements.

So now, Depa-Barris covers the 'The Supreme One' gemstone between his eyebrows. What do you want to express?

"You shouldn't come here, teacher. At least, you shouldn't come now." Depa-Barris said.

"I received the message you sent, so I came. I have to come." Master Windu said in a deep voice.

"Balawai... This war is not over yet, you shouldn't come." Depa-Barris shook his head.

"I came here just to find you, and at the same time, to end this war."

"You can't do it with the power of one person. Even if that person is you."

"What on earth happened to you!" Master Windu asked.

"I want to end this war... There is only one way to choose." Depa-Barris murmured.

"Your current state is not normal at all! You are constantly weakening! Dark Side is eroding your body! Your body is now a battlefield between light and darkness. This will not make you stronger, it will only make you a useless person in the end! Go back with me immediately! Go back to Coruscant!"

Depa-Barris shook his head, his body gradually became transparent, and finally turned into countless colorful light spots that scattered.

Master Windu was shocked to realize that what he saw before him was actually an illusion!

So, where are the real Depa-Barris?

He looked around, and the scenes that were both real and illusory around him made it impossible for him to distinguish the direction, nor the authenticity. Master Windu's face began to become extremely solemn, and he began to focus on the illusion in front of him, using his powerful the Force to sense it!

To concentrate, he sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state.

At this moment, he saw more and more things, more and more...

He saw Coruscant burning, saw the fall of countless Jedi Knight, saw the overwhelming triangular warships sweeping every corner of the galaxy, saw the gear flag of Galactic Republic being violently torn off, trampled on, and ignited...

He also saw the palace rising from the ground in Coruscant, and the dark, deep, Blackhole-like person sitting on the throne!

Yes, he saw the defeat of the war and the rise of Dark Side...

If it were anyone else, they would have been panicked by such a scene, losing their mind and becoming a slave to dreams. However, Master Windu and the Will are still extremely determined, not even wavering...

Even if the road ahead is bumpy, even if it is destined to fail, as long as I am still there, as long as the Lightsaber in my hand is still there, it is impossible to stop fighting!

Galactic Republic is destroyed, so what! One day, I will stand in the ruins and rebuild Galactic Republic! When a person dies, train one by one; when a house collapses, rebuild it brick by brick! As for the dark shadow on the throne, he will surely fall under my sword!

Master Windu suddenly opened his eyes, and extremely complex patterns appeared in his eyes. At this moment, he had found the core in countless environments——

Shatterpoint!

This is Force talent from Master Windu! He can see the Shatterpoint of everything and thus directly grasp the core of how things operate. Shatterpoint who sees the future will control his own destiny. Shatterpoint who sees a thing can crush it with one blow.

And now, he saw it!

Uh-huh!! The purple Lightsaber pulled out and stabbed into the void without hesitation!

At this moment, it was as if countless glass shattered around him, countless illusions suddenly disappeared, and the depressing and crushing atmosphere also disappeared in an instant.

However, less than half a second later, everything around him appeared again, and the illusion enveloped everything around him again.

However, Mace-Windu has been seen! He saw the place he was looking for! On this planet, the source of Dark Side!

Darth-Malthael and Darth-Lilim are also walking in the jungle.

Looking at the endless illusions around him, Darth-Malthael also constantly suffered from the torture from his own heart, but after experiencing everything in Planet Dagobah, he was already prepared for the dream of Haruun Kal

He saw Darth-Pregas, saw Darth-Tenebrus, and even saw Darth-Sidious... Countless dark illusions surrounded him, cursing, biting, tearing his body into pieces, and eating away at his Fourth Civilization bit by bit!

However, Darth-Malthael faced everything calmly. For a Sith Lord, this illusion was completely fatal and could not shake him at all!

Ever since he first accepted Das-Pregas as his master, and even since he first accepted the Kushan Mothership, he has abandoned all unnecessary things in his thinking.

He has almost no desire at all, neither women nor money can move him. There is only one thing left for him - the Milky Way!
