The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2346: Force Storm

Darth Malthael searched frantically among the mountains of manuscripts. Most of these dark and forbidden manuscripts were the research notes left by Darth Plagueis, as well as the documents that Darth Tenebrous had written for him when he was under his control.

The amount of knowledge covered in these research records and manuscripts is enormous, because Darth Plagueis and Darth Tenebrous are both the type who are very fanatical about studying the nature of the dark side of the Force, which is completely different from the Sith Lords who were lying down a few generations ago.

Darth Malthael naturally enjoyed a lot from such a legacy. However, this incident also exposed a huge shortcoming of Darth Malthael - he was far less devoted to studying the dark side of the Force than the Sith Lords.

Whether it is Darth Plagueis or Darth Tenebrous, or even Darth Sidious after becoming the Emperor of the Empire, they are all inferior to him.

As Luminara Anduri said just now, he was the king of the Kingdom of Dawn first, and then a Sith Lord. He governed the Kingdom of Dawn to this point, and was able to fight the Galactic Empire head-on. It can be said that all the merits and glory belonged to him.

At the same time, the influence of darkness on him was also reduced to a minimum, which was also an important guarantee for the smooth development of the Kingdom of Dawn.

However, the price is that although he inherited the knowledge of Darth Plagueis and Darth Tenebrous, he still did not make any major breakthroughs.

His dark side force and death force became stronger and stronger, but he was never able to make further progress in understanding the essence of the dark side, that is, he had his own unique understanding.

If it weren't for Luminara Anduri's reminder, he would surely die if he fought Darth Sidious in his current state!
Darth Malthael saw an ambiguous description in one of the forbidden books. This book was left by Darth Tenebrous and was about the balance of the Force. The main content of this book was about how the balance of the Force was established and destroyed.

Some conjectures were mentioned, which are possible situations in some very extreme situations. One of them is the Force Storm!
Darth Tenebrous mentioned that when the Force completely loses its balance under the influence of the dark side and darkness almost covers the entire galaxy, a Force storm may break out. He said that this Force storm will tear everything apart, especially those who are sensitive to the Force. As long as they come into contact with the Force, they will be torn to pieces by the Force storm.

By that time, it would be almost the end of the universe, with the Force completely out of control, destroying everything as if it had given birth to everything.

However, no one had ever seen what such a Force storm looked like. When Darth Tenebrous was studying the problem of Force imbalance, he realized that the Force would sometimes have some minor disturbances, and that it might hurt people who sensed the Force at that time. He judged from this that if such a disturbance was magnified countless times, it might have terrible consequences.

Because this statement is basically a subjective judgment and there is not much argument, Darth Malthael has never paid much attention to this thing. After all, even in the "Star Wars" plot he knows, there has never been such a thing as a force storm.

But now, Darth Masail suddenly thought of a possibility!
Since Darth Sidious became the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, he has been levying heavy taxes and doing perverse things. He has not done much, and even animals can call him an expert. He almost undisguisedly exploited and squeezed the middle and outer ring star regions, as well as almost all non-human races. In this process, not only did the wealthy families make a lot of money, but he himself also benefited greatly from it. This is a carnival of wealth and exploitation. Almost all the vested interest groups are crazy about it. For a time, most places in the galaxy were in dire straits, and rebellions and uprisings occurred one after another.

Putting aside the casualties caused by wars and uprisings, the number of civilians who have died from famine and overwork alone since the establishment of the Galactic Empire is probably calculated in the billions!
So, does Darth Sidious not know how to govern a country?
Obviously not. When he was a senator of Naboo, as one of the most trusted assistants of the then Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, Phoenix Valorum, Heev Palpatine presided over many livelihood projects, and they were all completed very well, bringing stability and prosperity to those planets.

So why would he do such a desperate act when he became the emperor of the Galactic Empire?

What if... there is a possibility that Darth Sidious is trying to artificially trigger a Force storm? What if he also got some records about Force storms from the collection of the Jedi Order and took precautions?
In this way, he can survive the Force Storm, but perhaps other Force-sensitive people will die here. By then, Darth Sidious will become a true -

One Sith!
As one of the most powerful Force-sensitive people in the galaxy, Darth Malthael could also feel that with the pain and death of countless people, the fluctuations of the Force became stronger and stronger, and the balance of the Force became more and more fragile. When countless lives died in a short period of time, he could also sense the wailing of the Force.

Now, if you combine these things with Force Storm, the situation becomes very scary.

Darth Sidious, perhaps he would rather take everyone with him to be the master of this galaxy! He wants to be a Sith, he wants to be a god!
This absolutely...cannot be allowed!
Darth Malthael took a deep breath and sat down on the dark altar again. He picked up the communicator and sent the last message to Helmut Zemo and Ling Liang.

[I will be in seclusion to find a way to kill Darth Sidious. Do not wake me up before our fleet attacks Coruscant.]

Then, he crushed the communicator with one hand and merged all his thoughts, soul, and Force into the vast, turbulent, and extremely dark river of Force.

He needs to feel and think about the nature of the dark side and the nature of death.

The only benefit he has now is that as a user of the dark side of the Force, the balance of the Force is now constantly leaning towards the dark side, making him extremely powerful. This allows him to conduct more in-depth exploration.
