Tang Yu followed General Grievous' footsteps and arrived at the conference room of the Venomfang Battleship.
After waiting for a while, Count Dooku's holographic projection appeared on one side of the conference room, leaving the center open. He said to Tang Yu, "Your Excellency Tang Yu, in view of the Guardian planet's contribution to our great war so far, and the fact that it is now under siege by the Republic, we, the Independent Star System Confederation, must respond. But before that, I would like to respectfully introduce to you my mentor and the mastermind of this great revolution — Lord Darth Sidious! "
After saying that, Count Dooku knelt on one knee. He even glanced at Tang Yu, obviously hoping that Tang Yu would do the same. However, Tang Yu ignored him. He just crossed his hands on his abdomen and maintained a bowing posture.
Soon, the holographic projection in the center of the conference room flashed, and a figure covered from head to toe in a cloak appeared, revealing only his hawk-like nose and wrinkled chin. In order to show his respect, the size of the holographic projection was enlarged, making him look at least three or four meters tall. The eyes hidden under the shadow of the cloak flickered with a golden light, which was filled with greed, desire, and ambition.
"Now, we finally meet … young leader of the Guardian planet … Tang Yu." Darth Sidious spoke very slowly, his distorted and greasy voice made people feel as if there was a lump of mud stuck in their throats. Just listening to it was extremely uncomfortable. At this time, General Grievous had already retreated, and Count Dooku had also turned off the communication. Only Tang Yu was left at the scene talking to Darth Sidious.
"I am Tang Yu, Your Excellency. Although I have heard Count Dooku mention such a great person before, it is my honor to finally speak to you directly, "Tang Yu said with his head lowered. At the same time, his mind was racing, and he began to think of various contingency plans and methods. After all, Darth Sidious had personally appeared in front of Tang Yu with his original identity, which was definitely a matter of great significance.
Darth Sidious suddenly fell silent. He scrutinized Tang Yu for a long time before he slowly asked, "How would you feel? … As an emperor … "
Tang Yu lowered his head and frowned slightly. He did not expect Sidious to ask such a random question. However, he reacted quickly and immediately understood what Sidious meant. He raised his head and said with a smile, "When you are admired by millions of people, when your every action will affect the lives and futures of millions of people, this feeling … is not the feeling of an Emperor."
"Oh? How did the Emperor feel? "Sidious' interest was piqued by Tang Yu's words and he continued to ask.
Tang Yu's expression suddenly became incomparably cold. He said, "Everything in the world is my private property, and all the people in the world are my private slaves. As long as it is to win my favor, even if millions of corpses litter the fields, they will have to bear it. Even if a meal of mine consumes the rations of millions of people, making them starve, they will have to bear it. Because I am the Emperor, the owner of everything. Those who dare to disobey me, I will kill! Those who dare to displease me, I will kill! Because I am the Emperor. Every word I say has the same effect as the Constitution, or even surpasses it. Anyone who dares to violate this will be killed! Because I am the Emperor. "
With that, he nodded again and said, "So, this is how it feels to be an Emperor."
A strange light shot out of Darth Sidious' eyes. It was so greedy, so eager. He seemed to want to say something more, to ask something more, but he hid his emotions very well. After thinking about it, he slowly asked, "So, from the Emperor to the President, what does it feel like?"
If Tang Yu did not know what kind of person Sidious was in advance, the second question would have perfectly covered up the previous one, which was full of ambition and ugliness. Because in the eyes of ordinary people, the first question was just a foreshadowing for the second question, and all the language traps were on the second question. However, Tang Yu knew that, on the contrary, Sidious did not care about Tang Yu's answer to the second question. He just needed to brush it off.
Tang Yu put on a somewhat frightened expression and lowered his head deeply. "This allowed me to bask in the glory of democracy and republic."
The corners of Sidious' mouth curled up slightly, and he slowly said, "I can tell you the answer to this question. You lack one thing — power! Power that no one can reach! So, you can't be the Emperor and can only be demoted to … the President … "
Tang Yu smiled faintly and said, "But after all, I was once the Emperor, and the people of Planet Guardian also treat me as the Emperor now. I still want to have the glory of the Emperor. The existence of an Emperor should not be affected by a momentary loss of power. Eternal glory is the way of an Emperor! " After understanding Sidious' meaning, he had been using words to roast Sidious on the fire.
Sidious looked at Tang Yu and continued, "Planet Guardian is now being besieged by the Republic's 13th Army, and the situation is precarious. Moreover, Master Yoda is personally leading the team, so Planet Guardian has almost no chance of winning. Regarding this matter … what … do you want? "
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't Tang Yu be the one asking this question? But now, it was Darth Sidious who asked it, and the answer he wanted was self-evident. However, Tang Yu did not take the bait. He smiled and said, "As long as the Empire is not destroyed, the spirit will live forever. If the Republic has the ability, kill everyone on Planet Guardian! But I believe that even if there is only one person left on Planet Guardian, he or she will pick up a rock and fight against the fully armed clone army. This is the power of an Empire. "
"Hahahahaha …" Darth Sidious laughed and asked, "Then, if I want to send troops to rescue Planet Guardian, what price will you pay?"
"As a member of the Independent Star System Confederation, in order to protect Planet Guardian, in order to defeat the Republic, I am willing to pay everything," Tang Yu said.
Sidious' strange laughter came to an abrupt end. He stared at Tang Yu and said word by word, "Then, now … kneel."
Tang Yu's expression was very respectful, but he only bowed slightly to Sidious.
"Kneel!" Sidious's voice was like a clap of thunder roaring in Tang Yu's ears. Even the entire conference room was shaking. With a crack, a cup on the table suddenly shattered, and tea splashed everywhere. This kind of power shocked Tang Yu. One must know that Coruscant, where Sidious was located, was in the middle of the Milky Way Galaxy, while the Poison Fang was located in the remote outer ring of the Hutt Space. But even though they were separated by tens of thousands of light-years, his Force could still affect this place!!
The Force was a mysterious existence. Perhaps in a battle between two armies, or in a battle between experts, it might not be comparable to many familiar abilities, but the things that the Force could do were absolutely unimaginable.
"Kneel …" Sidious's voice was still echoing in Tang Yu's ears.
