Chapter 423: Skywalker
🕑 Added 2025-10-27 12:08:00 +0000 UTCDarth Vader felt like he was dreaming, a very long dream. He dreamed of facing an unimaginable enemy, against whom he was utterly powerless! How long had it been since he'd encountered something like this? Darth Vader himself didn't know. What he did know was that his hands and feet had been severed once again, and his life support system seemed to have been removed.
"Slaves to power? Are both the Jedi Council and the Sith Order slaves to power?" Darth Vader still remembered that line, spoken disdainfully by the mysterious young man. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed they really were all slaves to power. They all followed what the Force demanded, not acting according to their own will.
"Alas, it's all over. Mother, Padme, I'm coming to join you..."
Darth Vader felt his breathing grow heavier and heavier.
As he closed his eyes, he suddenly found incredible scenes appearing in his mind. He knew these scenes were sent by that mysterious person, but when he truly began to watch them, he was completely stunned...
Cere and Cal were in similar situations. They were almost dumbfounded after witnessing Noah's "completely beyond Force comprehension" limb regeneration ability.
Especially when they saw Noah restore the Dark Lord of the Sith to his original appearance, they found it even harder to accept! But compared to these, the scenes that appeared in their minds stunned them even more! They never expected the story of this Dark Lord to be so bizarre, and even more, they never imagined that the current Galactic Empire was formed this way!
Noah didn't know their reactions to the Star Wars saga.
Anyway, Noah was now slowly guiding the life force
from the bricks into Darth Vader's body. To be honest, Noah had done this only a handful of times. Other than experimenting with small animals at first, he had rarely done such a thing since, let alone experimenting on living people. Although Noah's system space could be used for such experiments, the system was busy right now.
Besides, Noah preferred to spend his time on practical combat training. Therefore, Noah was not very skilled with this magic technique he had obtained ages ago.
Noah had wanted to experiment on Tony back then, but Tony explicitly refused. Thus, this was Noah's first attempt at using this life-saving magic on a living person.
Fortunately, Noah's magical proficiency was still guaranteed, and Darth Vader's own vitality was incredibly strong due to the protection of the Force.
Therefore, Noah didn't expend much effort to infuse these life forces into his body.
"Of course, the technique was too crude. If this guy hadn't had the Force protecting him, he probably would have died from an overload, right?" Noah looked at the brick in his hand, then silently put it away: "Different people have different physiques, and the amount of life force infused also varies, but one thing is certain: a mage doesn't need to worry too much about infusing too much energy at once."
Although the Force was somewhat different from magic, the essence of the power was similar; the difference lay only in their characteristics. Even if magic didn't have such strong initiative, its neutralizing properties were definitely stronger than the Force's. Therefore, Noah felt that magic should perform better in certain specific adaptabilities.
He glanced at Darth Vader, who had fallen into a coma due to the massive influx of life force and watching "Star Wars," and then at Cal and Cere, who were still stunned. Noah stroked his chin, directly grabbed BD-1 to collect data, then opened a portal and brought them all back to the Mantis.

"How long until this guy wakes up?" Darth Vader was groggy, his brain felt heavy, and most importantly, he heard some unfamiliar voices echoing in his ears. This made him feel a bit strange, as these voices were truly unfamiliar to him.
"How would I know that? Don't ask me just because I'm the caster; it purely depends on his own physique."
Another voice rang in Darth Vader's ear. This time, his consciousness suddenly cleared significantly. Because he knew this voice, and this voice instantly made him recall many things! His past, his future, everything suddenly reappeared in his mind!
"You're quite a failure as a caster, aren't you?"
"Do you want to try it?"
"No, I'm not injured, so I don't need to."
"Then what are you talking nonsense about, Loki? Be careful, I'll send you back to clean toilets!"
As these voices became clearer, Darth Vader's mind also became clearer. He remembered everything: his limbs being severed, and simultaneously, a "memory" of his own story being infused into him. He finally understood what all this was about!
"Ah!" After his thoughts completely cleared, Darth Vader let out a roar! He knew he had been deceived, he knew what he had done. Honestly, if he hadn't known he still had a son and a daughter alive, he would have committed suicide right then! This mix of grief and indignation, carrying a powerful Force, spread across the Mantis.
Darth Vader's heart was filled with hatred!
Unfortunately, before he could vent these emotions, he found himself bound once again. This time, he didn't even have a chance to speak.

"Calm down yet?" Noah shrugged nonchalantly, looking at Darth Vader, who was glaring at him. "Also, don't look at me like that. On the contrary, I think you should thank me."
"What I saw..." Darth Vader remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking. But as soon as he spoke, he froze, because his voice was completely different from before. Lowering his head, he began to carefully observe his body. It was only then, recovering from his boundless grief and indignation, that he noticed he no longer needed life support. And his hands and feet, which Noah had severed, had actually grown back!
"It's all real." Noah, of course, knew what he meant. Cal and Cere had asked him this question before, and Noah had already answered it. Looking at the way this guy kept scrutinizing himself, Noah smiled: "Isn't there a mirror in front? Just go look at yourself." With that, Noah directly dispelled the binding magic on him, and Darth Vader slowly stood up, trembling slightly.
He slowly walked to a mirror, and his eyes instantly turned red, because the reflection in the mirror was himself before he was disfigured! Looking at his reflection, Darth Vader once again fell into boundless sorrow, and this sorrow quickly transformed into incredible rage. His vast dark side Force erupted again; he simply couldn't control himself now.
"If you continue like this, I'll have to make you forget everything, believe it or not?" Just then, Noah's voice reached his ears, and the cold tone instantly calmed him down significantly. Forget everything? No, that was absolutely impossible! Knowing everything, he absolutely would not lose it all again, especially knowing he had two children.
Although Darth Vader suspected it might be fake, he didn't feel this guy in front of him had any reason to deceive him. Not to mention, some of the memories were things he had personally experienced; he only needed a little deduction to determine their authenticity. And the future events could be said to have developed entirely according to his character. If he had truly collapsed, he would definitely have done these things. Especially after knowing about his son, he would absolutely help his son!
Besides, some things simply couldn't be faked, such as finding his son and daughter, or confronting Sheev Palpatine.
Under various thoughts, Darth Vader forced himself to calm down, and the surging dark side Force also cooled down.
"Very good." Noah nodded: "You already know the specifics. I have to say, you're truly a pathetic wretch.
You personally destroyed everything you had."
"That's all in the past." Darth Vader took a deep breath: "I admit what I've done, and I admit I'm a pathetic wretch.
But now the future is in my hands. If what Your Excellency showed me isn't fake, then I believe I can change everything."
"Is that so?" Noah tilted his head. After a moment of thought, he tacitly agreed with this statement. Indeed, if Darth Vader went back for revenge, there probably wouldn't be any other trouble later. This guy's destructive power was absolutely terrifying, and his current identity made it incredibly simple for him to carry out assassinations.
Sheev Palpatine probably wouldn't even have time to react before this guy killed him. It has to be said that the beginning of everything in the original story was because of this guy, and the end of everything was also because of this guy. Perhaps he truly hadn't lost to anyone except Obi-Wan.
"An interesting idea." Noah nodded: "But before that, please hand over the Imperial technology to me. Oh, and I had this little guy record a lot of data. Please do me a favor. I really need these things."
"No problem." Darth Vader was straightforward and nodded directly, indicating it was fine. Although he didn't understand why a powerful person like Noah would need these things, he wouldn't ask further. However, he still had many questions in his mind, such as: Who exactly was this guy? Also, what did "twenty-five thousand years ago" mean? But before he could speak, Noah had already asked: "By the way, what will you call yourself from now on? Darth Vader, or..."
"That doesn't need consideration." He took a deep breath: "My name is Anakin Skywalker."
