"What do you want me to decide?" Marek asked knowingly. Holding the lightsaber in his hand and still maintaining a fighting posture, he knew that Vader must have guessed his intentions, but the other party's reaction was not what he expected, so he was very careful not to act immediately.

"I raised you, Marek. You're more like my son than Luke, and you really think I'd never guess that little bit of your thoughts? If you're really sure that's what you have to do, then go for it, the fight just now cost me a lot of the Force, and you won't have a better chance. ”

Vader spun around as she spoke, even throwing her lightsaber on the ground. There was understanding in his tone, and there was even a hint of encouragement in his eyes, because this scene was not strange to him at all.

As early as 20 years ago, he had a similar opportunity to kill the emperor, and his position and identity at that time were not much different from the current Marek. Now that the Emperor has been slain, his greatest duty has been accomplished.

Long before they set off, Vader had already guessed Marek's intentions, which was nothing more than to kill himself after killing the emperor, so as to completely eradicate the two foundations that maintained the unity of the empire and disintegrate the power of the empire from the top power structure.

Without the Emperor and himself, the other military chiefs and sector governors, no matter how powerful they seem, would not be able to maintain the unity of the empire, and they would be mired in deep infighting, dragging the empire into serious internal strife, and then the rebel alliance could reap the benefits.

As the de facto architect of the rebel alliance, it is not surprising that Marek would have such a plan. The only question is whether he made the plan for himself or at the behest of someone else. And after seeing Marek's melancholy expression, Vader was sure that it was the latter.

"Juno made you do that, right?" Vader smiled understandingly, seemingly unaware that she was being threatened by her apprentice's lightsaber. Sure enough, after hearing his question, Marek showed a brief unnatural expression, apparently he was right.

"Huh. Sure enough, it was her. I can understand her feelings, and standing in her place, I really deserve to die for my sin. In fact, from many people's point of view, I am a heinous sinner. ”

"Is that your last word?" ”

"No, I don't have any regrets in my life. But I have a request for you. If you decide to kill me, then you must take my place, do everything in your power to maintain the stability of the empire, and then carry out in-depth reforms and enter a full-scale war system as soon as possible. "Vida came up with a mind-blowing arrangement, not entirely out of the question, but it was bizarre enough.

"Did you burn out your brain by the Dark Force?" I will never serve your empire! Marek was confused by Vader's jumpy words, and he had already parted ways with him, but why did Vader have the attitude that he was his heir.

"I didn't let you work for the Empire. I'm here to open your eyes to the outside world. Soon, our galaxy will be welcomed by a large number of foreign guests, both good and bad, but all with the power to disrupt everything, and only this empire has the power to stop these "guests" from destroying everything. So the empire must survive! ”

Vader's words here have two meanings, the first is to imply the invasion of the war madmen, and the second is to say that the expedition is still watching everything behind the scenes. Vader was well aware that both of these guests would bring about a sea change in the galaxy, and that the long-term effects of the latter would greatly exceed the former.

Now the Milky Way is still superficially agreeing to the case. The madman did not dare to invade immediately, and the expedition team first sought cooperation with him. But once the empire collapsed. The basis for all cooperation will disappear, and the battle madmen will take advantage of it, just as they planned.

"What nonsense are you talking about, there is nothing that threatens the people in it except this decaying empire. And you don't have the leverage to threaten me anymore. Marek began to think that Vader was really crazy, otherwise how could he be so insistent on convincing himself with "imaginary" reality?

The reason why he dared to confront Vader was because Juno had secretly left Vader's fleet with his son. This was a strategy they had discussed a few days ago, and according to the plan, he would do it as soon as Vader killed the emperor, get rid of Vader, and then go to join his wife and children. But now he wasn't sure if he wanted to fight Vader or not.

"The Empire still has its value, you know that. And I didn't threaten you with anything, haven't you noticed, I've changed! On the way we came. Have you ever seen me force anyone to do anything? ”

When this was asked to the other party, Marek began to consider whether Vader had really changed, after all, he had always felt that Vader's behavior was very strange during this trip, and there were too many differences from the Vader he was familiar with. But before that, he always thought that the other party was pretending, but even this explanation always made some sense.

Now that Vader asked rhetorically, he had finally discovered where the strangest thing had been. Vader would never have had the patience to persuade others, and at that time he would have used his lightsaber to "persuade" anyone who would not obey him.

And along the way, Vinda showed patience to everyone, and it can be said that he was polite to himself. It would be impossible to say that Vader does not have the ability to fight with him now. The Force in Vader's body is deep, and the reserves far exceed those of ordinary Force warriors.

And because of his extremely high affinity for the Force, and now that he is no longer restrained by a disabled limb, the speed of the Force's recovery is even faster than he imagined. With the time between the two of them talking, Vader should have recovered more than half of his strength, at least there is no problem with the current self.

In such a situation, he didn't actually pick up the lightsaber and chase after him, but tried to convince himself like this, according to the original Vader's character, this absolutely does not make sense. For this reason, he hesitated for a long time and finally put down the lightsaber.

And when the two of them finally eased the atmosphere of confrontation, in the planetary base tens of thousands of light years away, Palpatine, who was reborn with the help of clones, fell into endless despair, because his worst thoughts before the destruction of his body actually came true.

When he woke up in the clone, he didn't see a bunch of medical robots who welcomed him and subordinates who were absolutely loyal to him. Instead, a holographic projector is placed a few meters in front of him, and as soon as he wakes up, he starts playing a video that has been recorded long ago, in which the protagonist is Vader.

"Slept well, Your Majesty?" This is the last time I'll call you, Your Majesty, and by the time you see this video, the base has been emptied, not a single warship or ship is left on the planet, and soon the place will be bombarded with railgun fire. Hearing this, Palpatine's clone immediately struggled to get out of the culture tank, but his hands and feet were fixed here, and he couldn't break free at all.

"You just woke up in your new body, the Force is still rejecting your new body, you can't use any Force skills in a short period of time Therefore, there is no point in running away, if you want to know what's going on, it's better to sit here and listen to me, it's better to be a ghost than a fool, believe me, I understand how it feels." ”

Vader's words calmed down the struggling Palpatine, that's right, he is a waste now, he doesn't have a few days to recuperate, he can't even do the most basic trivial things like grabbing a water cup with the Force, and it is really impossible to escape. So, after a few tosses, he decided to stop struggling for a while and hear what was going on.

"Soon, the empire you have built will disappear with your death, the empire has sent away its last emperor, and there will be no new emperor like you in the foreseeable future." Hearing this, the emperor showed a contemptuous expression, as if he wanted to say, "What about you?" ”。

"You may wonder, won't I be emperor, isn't that the reason for my rebellion?" I owe you an explanation for this. Unlike you who always fool everyone, I'll give you a chance to find out what the hell is going on. ”

"Until a month ago, I was a Sith Lord desperate for more power, just like you taught me. If I decide to assassinate you then, it must be for the sake of power, because that is the only thing that fills the void in my heart. ”

"But now everything is different. This coup d'état of mine is not against you, not for the throne, not for the power or the perpetuation of the empire, not even for the sake of the wasted rebel alliances, although Luke still has hope in them. ”

"I'm doing everything for the trillions of people in this galaxy!" You must be laughing when you hear this, laughing at my "superficiality and childishness". But I'm not kidding, there is a force far more powerful than our empire and even the Force itself. ”

"Soon, the galaxy we inhabit will be put to the test of war, and no one will be safe, and we all know that you are not a proper ruler, and you have no expertise other than balancing power and suppressing riots. The Emperor frowned fiercely when he saw this, as if he did not agree with Vader's evaluation of him.

"I know, I know, you don't like to hear this. In fact, you won't listen to almost any good opinion from anyone, and you're always betraying your allies, and that's why you'll always be the enemy of the majority. ”

"Now that the path of betrayal has come to an end, you must live with the consequences. For the sake of the master and apprentice, I will give you a funeral afterwards. With that, the video ended, and in a matter of seconds, a heavy railgun bombardment struck, erasing all evidence of the clone factory's existence. (To be continued......)
