Chapter 18 - Nexus of The Force

(What is this? Why do I feel like I'm in a place full of miasma?)

Demetrios noticed that he was surrounded by an atmosphere that surrounded the entire place, the streets, the air.

Suddenly a purple circular portal appeared about 20 meters from Demetrios.

From that portal appeared an immense creature, the creature is similar to a giant buffalo, like a giant rocky monolith with two white eyes, a flat nose and a long beard, with 2 short legs and 2 very long hands similar to gorillas, looking like golden armor.

-You are the one who made that scream - said the giant creature in a deep and soft voice, leaning towards Demetrios.

-If it's me, who are you? - Demetrios

-I am Bendu, I represent the Center of the Force, between the light side and the dark side - said Bendu - I manifested myself here because the scream you let out was powerful and you are a creature capable of unbalancing the Galaxy.

-Since I find you dangerous, I come to warn you to be with a force capable of matching mine - said Bendu

-Don't do anything stupid or else I will act myself! - said Bendu shouting.

Demetrios was angry with someone for the first time and it was with this creature called Bendu, although his anger was not natural, but something that came from the depths of his being.

-And why would I have to obey you - said Demetrios angrily.

Bendu realized that his threat was of no use to the little creature, he calmed down and said

-Because if I act, I will have to warn them, and if I warn them you will not come out unscathed in any way - said Bendu more eloquently

Saying this last thing Bendu disappeared from Demetrios' sight.

Demetrios looked around and the miasma that had surrounded everything was disappearing.

The purple portal that had opened and brought Bendu in was fading away.

Ting, ting, ting

(Has the main quest opened? Bendu is the one who opened the main quest)

(I need to do a quest, find the teachings of the dark side, learn more, and I need to practice more, or have experience in fighting, I will do both)

Demetrios started laughing.

-Hahahahaha how exciting, now that I have a high goal, it feels like a challenge, but now I need to know about the dark side and the best thing is to return to the Jedi temple.

What Demetrios wanted is to go to the foundation of the Jedi Temple.

In the times of the Old Republic, in the Great Hyperspace War, during the Battle of Coruscant, the Jedi destroyed the Shrine in the Deep, which the Sith built in a Force convergence zone.

The Jedi Order built the Temple in the shrine in hopes of neutralizing its dark energies, but it backfired.

This made their visions and Force sensitivity blurrier, so much so that they failed to perceive that Palpatine was a Sith.

Both Palpatine and Plagueis took advantage of this, they made the cloak of darkness that existed in the galaxy, but there was a great uncertainty that Plagueis and Palpatine could not see.

That uncertainty was the arrival of Demetrios, which changed everything, as his Cloak of Darkness, Demetrios absorbed it and replaced it with a cloak of Darkness and Light.

This led to Plagueis and Palpatine not being able to foresee things as before and not having as much power, but for the Jedi Order, it led to their visions not being as blurry and they being able to feel the Force more strongly, leading them to be more powerful.

Thanks to that, Yoda was able to perceive Demetrios in the Force, who was hiding in the shadows.

Demetrios entered the Jedi Temple again, but this time he focused on staying hidden and using the skill he had trained, Force stealth.

His training paid off, no one else of all the Jedi he had met and overlooked could perceive him.

The only exception was Yoda and it was exclusively because the Force told him that there was someone he had to meet.

He was investigating everywhere, in the training room, in the Jedi archives, in the Kyber arc, in the central security station of the Jedi Temple, in the communications center of the Jedi Temple and many other places.

He didn't find anything, but when he returned to the center of the temple, to the main hall, he was looking at the temple, but found that 2 pillars did not follow the sequence of pillars and were asymmetrical.

He found a hidden staircase in one of those pillars that led to the lower floors of the temple, Demetrios immediately entered.

The stairs were deep, the lighting of the stairs reached halfway, the rest was dark.

When Demetrios reached the end of the stairs, everything around him was dark, the dim light that illuminated was the one in the middle of the stairs, but at the end of the stairs that light did not reach, absolutely nothing could be seen.

If it were another person, he would have to use a flashlight or some object to have light.

But Demetrios could see clearly in the darkness, all thanks to his Mynoghra Power ability, which makes him one with the shadows.

The place where he was was a very spacious place, from the floor to the ceiling he saw that it was about 100 meters high, with thick pillars placed regularly every 10 meters.

Demetrios walked until he reached a large gray door about 10 meters wide by 20 meters high.

He approached the door, tried to open the door but it did not open, he tried to open it by applying his strength, the door was shot until it almost reached the bottom of the destroyed Ancient Sith Temple.

The Ancient Sith Temple was gloomy in appearance, red in color, with a high presence of the dark side of the force, and had many sabers stuck in the ground.

Screams and wails could be heard in various places in the ancient Sith temple.

-This is much darker than they describe in the novels -Demetrios

He went through the destroyed door and found at the end of the Old Sith Temple, a king's throne with a staircase of about 5 steps and the throne was made of an unknown metal, the throne was destroyed, half of the top was missing and both the steps and the floor of the throne were cracked.

The passage of time was barely noticeable on that throne, it was only known that it was destroyed but it seemed that it was destroyed only 1 week or 1 month ago at most, although the throne and this temple of the depths of the Sith had been destroyed 5000 years ago.

Demetrios felt something calling him.

It was not voices of terror, cries or laments that were heard when he entered the Sith temple.

It was a much stronger call.

Much more... Pure.

The call came from behind the throne.

He passed the throne and noticed that about 5 meters behind the throne, there was a large kyber crystal, it was about 3 meters high, 5 meters wide and 3 meters long.

The giant Kyber crystal had an incredible pure energy of the Force, but that did not call him, something that was under the giant Kyber crystal called him.

In order to access who was calling him, he had to move that huge Kyber crystal.

He could do it the easy and simple way, moving with his physical strength would have the probability of breaking that Kyber crystal, which he does not want to do.

Kyber crystals have pure force energy, they can be used for different instruments to take advantage of that energy, both as electricity and instruments of destruction, and that is what Demetrios is thinking of doing with that gigantic Kyber crystal.

But for that there is a way to get it out of there.

-And if I put it in my inventory-Demetrios

He touched the Kyber crystal and an immensely pure energy ran through his body.

He was alarmed but then calmed down because that energy did nothing in his body, it only investigated his body and returned to the crystal.

Demetrios thought (Pick up to inventory)

The next moment the kyber crystal disappeared.

Demetrios opened the inventory.

(Okay, it went into my inventory.)

Demetrios stuck his head into the hole left by taking out the giant Kyber crystal, to find a blue sea, that sea did not contain water, but the representation of the Force as if it were water and below it was a wall of black stone.

What he found was the center of the Jedi Temple and also the center of the Old Sith Temple, and was the reason the 2 temples were built, a Force Nexus or Vergence.

A Force Nexus or Vergence is a place in the galaxy where the Force can flow much more freely, in a concentrated source of energy that could be tapped into more easily by anyone or being sensitive to its power.

Demetrius felt he had to enter.

He submerged himself in the water of the force, that water did not drown him, he could breathe easy, and despite the darkness of the Ancient Sith Temple, he felt comfortable in that place, very comfortable in it, as if he wanted to stay there for the rest of his life.

But that comfort ended, because he felt the call again but now it wanted him to meditate.

He began to meditate, he observed for about 1 hour and discovered that the Nexus of the Force had a lot of energy from the dark side and little energy from the light side and that also a quarter of all that energy was neutral, it was neither light side nor dark side.

But he also discovered that the dark side was transforming the light energy and the neutral energy into its dark energy, almost as if it were swallowing it and transforming it little by little.

The light energy attacked the dark energy but it could not because it was weakened and the dark energy was much larger than the light energy.

The neutral energy did absolutely nothing, it let itself be "swallowed" and converted into dark energy.

What he felt was being communicated to Demetrios was to get rid of the 2 energies and only the neutral energy would remain.

The one who communicated this to him was the Nexus of the Force itself, it told him that if one energy won, he would take over the Nexus making the 2 remaining types of energy his own.

And as time goes by the Nexus will be depleted and will end up disappearing, but if you eliminate the 2 energies, the energy of the light side and that of the dark side, only the neutral energy will remain.
