Anakin Skywalker fell to the ground with a thud. He struggled and gasped for air. The horrifying scenes from when he was meditating just now were still swirling in his mind …
His beloved, Padmé Amidala's ashen face, her lifeless body, and her desperate cries kept appearing in his mind.
"Padmé … No! Padmé!! "Anakin shouted. He struggled to stand up and walked towards the door. The door to the library was locked. He raised his hand to hammer on the door, but just as he raised his hand, the automatic door suddenly opened. Ahsoka Tano, who was still in the position of opening the door, looked at him blankly.
"Ahsoka!" Anakin's expression softened. He had not seen his disciple for a long time, and there was a hint of excitement in his heart.
"Mas … Anakin." Ahsoka Tano wanted to say something but stopped. She looked at Anakin with a complicated expression and said softly, "Master Wendu said that you can be released …"
"Ahsoka … you …" Anakin was just about to speak when he saw the expression on his disciple's face. Only then did he remember that he had fallen to the dark side. Although it was only for a short period of time, it had become a fait accompli. In other words, from that moment on, he had become a sinner and had been removed from the Jedi Knights. Master Wendu had spared his life and even brought him back. It was already a great kindness. Or rather, Master Wendu had seen that his fall to the dark side was only temporary. Now that he had recovered, he thought that he could still be saved.
"I'm sorry …" Anakin only felt ashamed to face his disciple.
Ahsoka also calmed down. She shook her head and said, "It's okay, I know. On the battlefield … sometimes … "As she spoke, she turned her face to the side with a pained expression." If only I was there at that time. At least you wouldn't have to face a strong enemy alone and have no choice but to fall … "
Anakin grabbed Ahsoka's shoulder and said seriously, "That was my choice. I can't blame anyone else, Ahsoka. But I have something urgent to attend to now. Can I go out? "
Ahsoka nodded and replied, "Your movements are not restricted now. You can go anywhere. After all, the Jedi Knights … "
Before she could finish her sentence, Anakin Skywalker had already walked out of the room. He found a hoverbike, started the engine, and quickly disappeared. He left so decisively that Ahsoka was a little surprised. She stared blankly at Anakin's back for a long time before she let out a long sigh. She turned her head back to look at Terminus Temple dejectedly.
The Sacred Hall, which used to be bustling with people, was now completely empty. Since the start of the war, hundreds of Jedi Warriors had perished, and most of the remaining were out on missions. In addition … Ahsoka looked at the starry sky outside the window, and his expression darkened.
Not long ago, Master Wendu had gathered the remaining Jedi Warriors in the Jedi Temple. Then, Master Yoda, who had been missing for a long time, appeared. He didn't say much, but every word was like a heavy hammer pounding on everyone's hearts!
"It's much stronger than before. The fluctuation of the Origin Force. This is because the Origin Force has lost its balance. The purpose of the Jedi Knights is to maintain the balance of the Origin Force. We tried hard to find the cause of the fluctuation of the Origin Force, but we failed. The power of the dark side shrouded the Milky Way, but no one knew where it came from.
"After that, I thought hard on Dagoba. I jumped out of this vortex and observed the Origin Force as a bystander, observing everything. Finally, I realized that the Origin Force had lost its balance. The reason was because of the incomparably strong power of the dark side, but it was also because of … us. The Jedi Knights … "Master Yoda said slowly.
Everyone, including Master Wendu, looked at Master Yoda as if they had seen a ghost. They couldn't say a word.
Master Yoda acted as if he didn't see the expressions of everyone around him. He continued, "It is precisely because of the absolute opposition between the Light and Darkness, the absolute opposition between the Jedi Knights and the Sith, that caused the imbalance of the Origin Force. There is only one way to restore the balance of the Origin Force, and that is for the Jedi Knights and the Sith High Lords to perish together. Only then can a new order be born, a balanced order. "
Master Wendu trembled all over. Half of his body was burnt, and his left hand had been replaced with a mechanical arm. This made him look even more ferocious, but at this moment, he couldn't hold back the tears that flowed out of his eyes. He said in a sorrowful voice, "Could it be … that the belief that we have upheld for ten thousand years … is wrong?"
This seemed to have opened the door. Everyone present immediately burst into tears.
Master Yoda didn't directly answer this question. Instead, he said, "This is a revelation from the Origin Force, a revelation that can put an end to these ten thousand years of disputes. The Origin Force has never been truly balanced. Now, it's time. If restoring the balance of the Origin Force is the purpose of the Jedi Knights, then even if the price we have to pay is our demise, we will not hesitate. "
"Then what should we do? What should we do? Ugh … Are we just going to let everything go? "Master Wendu asked with a sobbing tone.
"Also, we have to do this. Because I also just found out that Count Dooku is only Sith's apprentice, and the real Sith High Lord is someone else, "Master Yoda said.
Master Wendu suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with killing intent. "Who is it?"
"Darth Sidious. He is Darth Pregus' apprentice, and his current identity … is the Galactic Republic's Chairman, Shiv Palpatine, "Master Yoda said with an extremely gloomy expression.
Everyone felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over them from head to toe! This was a double blow! First, they were told that their belief for ten thousand years was wrong. Then, they were told that the person they were loyal to was actually a Sith High Lord! The Origin Force of some of the weaker Jedi Knights had already started to become chaotic, and they were in danger of falling to the dark side. Some of the Masters beside them quickly helped them stabilize their Origin Force.
Master Wendu was the most agitated. He jumped up and said loudly, "Master Yoda! If this information is true, I will bring people to arrest Shiv Palpatine right now! "
"Calm down." Master Yoda raised his hand and waved. A gentle wave of Origin Force instantly wrapped around Master Wendu, allowing him to sit down slowly.
Master Wendu looked at Master Yoda in surprise. "Master, you … you have a breakthrough in your realm again?"
"I have jumped out of this shackle, so I can see more and understand more. Naturally, I have experienced it, "Master Yoda said. "If you arrest Palpatine now, there will only be one result, and that is treason. Because the Republic does not restrict personal beliefs, Sith himself is not against the law. On the contrary, if we attack Palpatine, it will be considered an attempt to murder the current Chairman of the Republic. That is treason. "
"In the biochip of the cloned soldiers, there are 150 emergency orders. Among them, order 66 is the order for the Jedi Knights to commit treason. Once we attack Palpatine, he will have the right to activate order 66 and make the cloned soldiers our enemies. "
Only then did Master Wendu's expression change. He thought of the terrible consequences and could not help but feel afraid.
After Grandmaster Yoda finished speaking, he glanced at Wen Du, took a deep breath, and used all the strength in his body to say, "Therefore, I once again announce that the Jedi Order is … disbanded from today onwards …" After saying this, his hands that were holding onto the crutch began to tremble violently. Even though he was an elder who was more than 800 years old, he could not help but shed tears …
The Jedi Knights … disband!!
[Note 1]: There are too many meanings to express, so there is no need for Master Yoda's inverted sentences here. His hair was really falling all over the ground. Who the f * ck gave this anti-human setting? However, in the movies and animations, when Master Yoda spoke for a long time, he did not use inverted sentences.
