Chapter 422: Terrifying Methods
🕑 Added 2025-10-22 04:46:17 +0000 UTCNoah indeed had no intention of wasting words with this Imperial Inquisitor. He didn't even need Cal and Cere to act; Noah directly restrained Trilla. Although Noah had studied the Force for so many days and understood some relatively simple ways to use it, the Force was simply beyond imagination because of its high plasticity.
For example, Cal's frequently used 'slow' ability left Noah somewhat dumbfounded. Was it really just slowing down? This thing made those affected feel the flow of time slow down, and even the space around the affected person would distort! It could be said that this single move alone exceeded Noah's imagination, which is why Noah was particularly interested in certain ways of using the Force.
Shaking his head, Noah stopped thinking about these things. Anyway, these methods and techniques would definitely fall into Noah's hands. He glanced at Trilla, who was like a statue, tilted his head, and then directly threw her at Cere and Cal's feet.
"She's yours to deal with," Noah said, looking at the elevator without turning back. "If nothing unexpected happens, we should have another guest arriving."
"Another guest?" Cere and Cal looked at Trilla, who was emitting strange energy and was completely stiff, then at Noah's back. They suddenly felt like they were superfluous here. Sighing, they both immediately helped Trilla up, but soon their bodies also stiffened. With heavy footsteps and the distinct heavy breathing sound of a life support system, their faces instantly turned grim.
"It's... it's him!" Cere's body trembled slightly. Although Cal didn't tremble, his face was naturally no better.
Darth Vader, a nightmare-like presence in the ears of Jedi Knights. This Sith Dark Lord had already slaughtered countless rebels! He was almost synonymous with invincibility; he was almost synonymous with the Dark Side of the Force! It could be said that to some extent, he was even more terrifying than Darth Sidious, or rather, Sheev Palpatine, the Emperor of the Galactic Empire!
Raising their heads, they both involuntarily looked at
Noah. Unbeknownst to them, they suddenly felt at ease.
Because Noah's power was even more terrifying than Darth Vader's; he was probably the most terrifying person in this world, right?
Noah didn't know what the two behind him were thinking. Even if he did, he would smile and nod, saying: "You're probably right." Noah was somewhat surprised now; he hadn't expected Darth Vader to actually make a cameo here.
"It seems Mr. Vader is very busy. He's one of the protagonists in both the prequels and the original trilogy. He hasn't missed any spin-offs since, and even often makes guest appearances in games." Noah sighed inwardly. He now guessed that Cal and Cere were probably killed by this guy, right? This would explain why Noah had never heard their stories in the later movies.
As for the navigation instrument... "Did they die holding onto this thing? Or did they escape?" Noah stroked his chin. Don't tell me they actually managed to escape!
People in this parallel universe, when facing these Sith Dark Lords, were courting death if they fought them. The only way to survive was to run. If you were lucky, you could actually escape; after all, quite a few people did escape from him...
While Noah was contemplating, the muffled breathing grew heavier, and the sound of metal grinding footsteps grew closer. Soon, a figure clad in black armor with various strange equipment, slowly appeared before Noah.
An invisible pressure continuously emanated from this figure, his metallic helmet, made of black material, looked so cold and grim. Noah seemed to be able to see through the helmet those utterly indifferent eyes, and the despairing aura suppressed beneath them.
"Darth..." Noah slightly tilted his head. "Vader?"
"Who are you?" Darth Vader's voice was very peculiar, like a mechanical synthesis, sounding like metal grinding, making people feel uneasy.
"Who I am isn't important," Noah smiled indifferently.
"What's important is, who are you?"
"You know me?" Noah's words startled Darth Vader, and Cal and Cere were equally stunned.
"No, after all, I haven't been back to this universe for twenty-five thousand years," Noah shook his head decisively. "But my Force can see much of your past, and your future."
"Haven't been back to this universe for twenty-five thousand years? See my past and future through the Force?" Darth Vader chuckled. "My past is darkness, and my future continues to advance in darkness. That is who I am!"
After saying this, Darth Vader immediately ignited his lightsaber. The crimson lightsaber looked particularly striking and evil in the dim space. He coldly looked at Noah, and at Cal and Cere behind Noah, as cold as ice.
"That dark aura just now must have been yours. You are an unimaginable Sith Lord, but I have never fought you, and I want to see how terrifying your Force truly is."
"Are you an idiot? Do you think you can do what I did?"
"I'm curious to see what people from twenty-five thousand years ago are like."
"Is that so? Then... you have already lost, Anakin Skywalker."
As soon as the words left Noah's lips, Darth Vader felt an utterly irresistible force instantly pull him before the mysterious young man! Although Darth Vader's emotions fluctuated slightly upon hearing his true name, this couldn't affect his combat instincts at all, yet he was directly controlled!
"Very surprised? Very curious?" Noah tilted his head, looking at him. "And very angry? Too bad it's useless.
You are all slaves to power. How can you compare to me,
the master of power?"
With that, Noah waved his hand slightly, and Darth Vader's helmet flew off. Darth Vader immediately felt a suffocating sensation wash over him. Darth Vader, having lost an arm and both legs after being cut down by Obi-Wan from the high ground, and then severely burned by lava, was practically dead! If it weren't for the somewhat remarkable technological level of this parallel universe, even such severe burns could be recovered from.
Perhaps there would be no story of Darth Vader, the Sith Dark Lord, in this universe. Well, the Skywalker story would continue afterward.
"You..." Darth Vader struggled to breathe, but he was firmly controlled by Noah and could do nothing, even if he exerted all his effort to manipulate his Force, he couldn't resist a single bit.
"This is the gap between us, the gap in the use and
understanding of power, Anakin," Noah shook his head.
Instantly, the lightsaber appeared in Noah's hand. The
lightsaber danced, and in just a blink of an eye, Darth Vader was directly cut into a limbless torso by Noah.
This secretly made Noah feel a thrill. The characteristic of the Star Wars world was limb dismemberment, and Noah had never had the chance to do so, but now he did, so he directly seized the opportunity.
"It's all mechanical, even the only hand Obi-Wan didn't cut off is a prosthetic." Noah tilted his head, quickly recalling that this guy had apparently lost a hand before.
Shaking his head, looking at the guy who was almost out of breath due to difficulty breathing, Noah revealed a slight smile.
"You know what, you're really a pitiful worm."
"You..."
"No need to thank me. I'll give you a gift."
"..."
Thank him? How could he possibly thank him! Darth Vader truly wanted to curse loudly, but the next moment a strange power directly entered his brain. Scene after scene began to unfold in his mind, and Darth Vader, upon seeing all of it, instantly became utterly dazed.
"He... what happened to him?" Cal and Cere were somewhat at a loss upon seeing this, yet also felt it was somewhat natural. The terrifying Sith Dark Lord had been defeated just like that, which was incredible, but upon reflection, it was also natural.
"But, you just called him... Anakin Skywalker? Is that his
real name?"
"Yes, through the Force, I can see his past. He was originally an extremely talented Jedi Knight. His master was a guy named Obi-Wan, but later, due to some special circumstances, he began to doubt himself and eventually turned to the Dark Side..." Noah casually spoke, looking at this neither-human-nor-ghost figure in front of him.
Honestly, this kid was indeed a handsome young man before being disfigured by lava; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to marry a princess, would he? It's just that he was deceived, which led to his wife actually dying.
With a casual flick, the lightsaber in Noah's hand disappeared. Noah glanced at the torso floating in mid-air, and after a moment of thought, he made a decision. Since this guy was the best material for balance, Noah truly wasn't going to give up on him just like that.
After thinking for a moment, Noah's magic immediately surged into his ring, and the next moment, a special glow erupted from Darth Vader's body! Limb regeneration, Noah had learned this magic many years ago. It was a magic that could regrow severed limbs, although Noah had never used it. But even Voldemort could master this magic, let alone Noah now. In just a moment, Darth Vader's hands and feet slowly began to appear, gradually returning to their original form. Noah even boredly restored his face, which had been disfigured by flames!
"Your Excellency... what are you doing?" Noah's actions clearly startled Cere and Cal, perhaps because Noah was saving Darth Vader, or perhaps because of Noah's methods.
"Can't you tell? I'm just saving someone," Noah shrugged.
"This guy is just a pitiful worm; it'll be more interesting for him to live." Saying that, Noah casually injected two streams of Star Wars movie data into Cere and Cal's minds, then silently pulled out the brick containing abundant life force. "Just in time for you to practice, and by the way, I'm still looking forward to that classic 'I am your father' line in the future."
