The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2127: The Soul-stealing Sword's Civil War (Part )

When the Spirit of Vengeance was destroyed by Darth Malthael, it was already out of control. The reason why it was out of control was not even because of how powerful it was, but because the Spirit of Vengeance was already in a mess at that time!

The Spirit of Vengeance was originally the soul of the Sith Lord Darth Venami, who had been tortured for more than 20 years, which was forced into the body of Darth Tenebrous. The monster was created by using Venami's endless hatred and pain and then fused through Sith alchemy.

This monster was originally unstable, and in the process of it chasing Darth Tenebrous, the two sides inevitably had many contacts. Darth Tenebrous also tried his best to destroy the Spirit of Vengeance. Although he did not succeed, it made the will of the Spirit of Vengeance even more confused.

In the end, Darth Tenebrous chose to die together in despair. He allowed the Spirit of Vengeance to kill him, and then used the coarse-primordium in his original body, which was now the body used by the Spirit of Vengeance, to reintegrate his broken soul into his original body.

So two souls were stuffed into Darth Tenebrous's original body.

In this state, if he was killed by Darth Malthael and absorbed by the Sword of Souls, one can imagine what state the absorbed soul was in!

The completely chaotic Soul of Vengeance almost immediately lost control after entering the Soul Reaper Sword. It instinctively wanted to absorb the other souls in the Soul Reaper Sword. But those souls were not good people. They were all the ghosts of Sith Lords! Especially Maka Ragnos!

After realizing that the Spirit of Vengeance wanted to devour him, Maka Ragnos instinctively resisted immediately. The reason was that when Darth Malthael realized that the Spirit of Vengeance had also lost control inside the Soul Reaper, he controlled Maka Ragnos and other Sith spirits to devour the Spirit of Vengeance in turn.

As a result, this operation awakened Maka Ragnos and the others from their sealed sleeping state! Maka Ragnos, who had awakened, was naturally unwilling to be controlled by Darth Malthael, but he was even less likely to accept being devoured by the Spirit of Vengeance.

Therefore, Maka Ragnos and other Sith ghosts started a bloody battle with the Spirit of Vengeance inside the Soul Reaper. Although there are many Sith ghosts, they are all Sith Lords from thousands of years ago. Although they still have consciousness, their power is already very little.

As for the Spirit of Vengeance, its power was extremely strong. In the chaotic state when it just merged, its power could even compete with Darth Malthael.

Even though the Sith ghosts were now being helped by Darth Malthael, the struggle within the Soul Reaper was extremely cruel. At least six ghosts of once-powerful Sith Lords were wiped out in this civil war.

But in the end, under the leadership of Maka-Ragnos, the Sith Shade finally won.

He is indeed worthy of being the emperor who created the Golden Age of the Sith Empire. Whether in terms of strength, willpower, or command ability, he is first-class.

The Spirit of Vengeance was split into two by Darth Malthael and sealed in two black Kyber crystals.

However, at this time, something happened that made Darth Malthael depressed - after Maka Ragnos defeated the Spirit of Vengeance, he suddenly found that he was no longer under the control of Darth Malthael!

This discovery made Maka Ragnos ecstatic, and when Darth Malthael wanted to use the Soul Reaper, he jumped out without hesitation, pointed at his nose and cursed him. That's right, although he still couldn't hurt Darth Malthael, but if physical damage was not possible, magic damage would be possible, right? So every time Darth Malthael took the Soul Reaper, Maka Ragnos jumped out and cursed his ancestors from the 36th generation up...

  Although cursing like this would not weaken the power of the Soul-Taking Sword, this thing, although not very harmful, is extremely insulting!

Darth Malthael initially quarreled with Maka Ragnos and a few times, Lucian Dray, another Jedi spirit in his body, came out to help because he couldn't stand these arrogant Sith spirits, but Maka Ragnos was not at all at a disadvantage even though he was scolding two people at the same time.

Later, Darth Malthael found that cursing was useless, so he simply used the force of death to force him to shut up. But he found that this could only make him shut up for a day or two, and he would jump out again not long after.

Then he simply stopped carrying the sword. Darth Malthael planned to come back and slowly deal with Maka Ragnos after he had settled the matter in the Unknown Star Region.

Then Maka Ragnos began to announce his victory. He proudly announced that the Soul Reaper Sword would become a holy relic of the Sith from today on, equivalent to the existence of the Book of the Sith. Then, he, Maka Ragnos, would become the first owner of this holy relic of the Sith.

What depressed Darth Malthael the most was that what Maka Ragnos said seemed to really count!

Don't be fooled by this guy's funny and talkative attributes now, but when he was still alive, he was a truly wise Sith ruler. Even Vishiet, the only one with the title of "Sith Emperor", was given the title by Maka Ragnos himself.

So once Maka Ragnos opened his mouth, the Soul Reaper Sword really became a sacred object of the Sith. As long as these Sith Lords still abide by the Way of the Sith, they must recognize the Soul Reaper Sword, otherwise they will not be recognized by the inheritance of the Way of the Sith.

Darth Malthael didn't know how to deal with this situation for a moment, so he left the Soul Reaper on the mothership, picked up an ordinary lightsaber and went to the unknown star region.

  Then, no one expected that Orega would somehow run over and snatch the Soul-Taking Sword!

In fact, it was not a coincidence. When Orega wanted to occupy the entire mothership, he sensed the existence of the extremely evil and dark Sword of Souls, so he followed this power and went there.

But for Maka Ragnos, the existence of Orega was something that made him feel very disgusted.

Because Orega had long been corrupted by the hatred of countless Nerazim, he was now a madman blinded by hatred. And the Spirit of Vengeance was also such a twisted soul filled with hatred.

  As soon as Orrega got the Soul-Taking Sword and the consciousnesses of both sides communicated, Maka Ragnos felt that the sealed Spirit of Vengeance began to move again!

It would be strange if the furious Maka Ragnos could treat Orega well at this time! (End of this chapter)
