Chapter 63

Soul Harvester container, floating on the stat of the Sol system...

"You! Why are you here?" questioned the Dark Side as his voice startled the souls who's near them as it gave him enough space on this tight sardine like container.

"You bastard! I'll kill you! You didn't go by the deal!" shouted the Light Side in anger as the memories of the bastard of the Dark Side of the Force striking a deal with him has surfaced.

"Oh shut up you hypocrite! You think I don't know what you plan? You plan to eat me and become the new Force!" growled back the Dark Side as the container shook slightly which made the technopriest in charge of it immediately notice.

"Uhhh, you think the content of this container suddenly increased greatly? I can say for sure that it's only 30% last time I looked at it but now it's already at 99% ." a random technopriest pointed out as he tapped the monitor in the command roon of the starbase assigned to the Soul Harvester.

"There must be a mistake, check again." said his companion that's also a technopriest who rushed over and checked the system for any sort of bug or failures.

"Strange... it shouldn't be like this. As far as I know this is a 1 is to 1 convertion ratio. Has a crazy fleet blew up a chain of planets?" said the technopriest as he tapped on the screen and tried to reboot the system.

"1 is to 1? Where was that specifications written? As far as I remember it only says it collects all the souls who died. Plus, wasn't exterminatus technically employed only on the most desperate of scenarios?" said a technopriest to his companion as he looked at him confused before the two slowly realized what was happening.

"By the Omnissiah!" shouted the technopriests almost simultaneously as they rushed to report this change directly to the higher ups.

"Good morning sir! Yes sir! It's like this sir..." the call immediately connected as they used the red button which immediately connects the call without nay interruptions or questions.

Office of the starbase commander...

"What?! There's a sudden increase in the energy levels? By Omnissiah!" the commander of the starbase which is also a technopriest though he was more experienced and has lived far longer and was one of the lead scientists that's part of the Soul Harvester creation.

At his office he has a special big red button that has a glass encasing which basically does the purpose of locking down the Soul Harvester as they need to secure it due to its fragility on the outside.

He slammed this button hard as red lights suddenly beamed all throughout the starbase signifying the increase in security as the assigned guardsmen and battleship left the docks and lockdowned the whole Sol star.

The modules slowly moved closer as it enclosed the soul container to keep it safe from any harm.

Meanwhile inside the soul container, the sides of the Force was berating each other with hurtful words as they called each other names.

"You traitorous bastard! You stabbed me in the back!" the hateful voice of the Light Side was heard as the container shook slightly.

"You hypocrite! You want to devour me whole!" the Dark Side rebutted as their discussion turned into a heated shit talking contest to see who's the best shit talker in the galaxy.

Time passes differently inside the container in a ratio approximately 1 is 1000. Meaning, that every 1 second on actual reality, 1000 seconds has passed by on the container.

Outside the container...

"Something must've happened for it to suddenly fill up like this! Have you contacted the Emperor?" asked the commander of the starbase as he walked back and forth trying to calm his circuitry down who's overheating right now. Something happened he knows it and this sort of thing can either be a good or a bad one for the Imperium.

"Sir! The call has connected! The Emperor is on the line!" shouted a technopriest staff as the commander immediately went to his station to talk to the Emperor.

"Your majesty...uhm it's like this. The container has suddenly filled in from 30% to 99% in a fraction of a second earlier..." the commander started to narrate to keep the Emperor up to the news as his voice was shaking due to fear.

On the other line of the communication the Emperor had a frown look as he doesn't exactly know how and why did this happen. But he has an idea on why. It must've been related to the strength of the soul. The higher the power of the soul the greater it can contribute to the overall volume of the container.

But it shouldn't be like this, he knows it. A soul's strength should be the same even if they're a powerful jedi as the power they control on the Force is not related to the soul.

Except something that entered the soul container has a powerful soul. They're not originally from reality, they're on their own dimension and tried to enter the plane of the dead only to get sucked in.

And he can only think of someone who can do that...

Yes, it's the Force, the two sides should've their own dimensions and has no actual body because they're only filled or rather made up of energy.

"Damn it, they're trying to use the Soul Harvester to descend on this reality? Such balls require the mass of galaxies to carry." growled the Emperor in his mind. He was currently sitting on his designated seat inside his flagship names Bucephalus. Constantin is on his side while the Captain General has taken command of the other flagship named the Imperator Somnium.

"My Imperial and royal highness. What's the matter? You seemed troubled." asked Constantin with concern in his voice.

"Nothing... tell me Constantin, will you fight the gods with me once more?" asked the Emperor as he slowly stood up. His armor clanged on each other as he stretched his body, morphing it to 14ft tall.

"If my lord orders my to fight a god without any support I'll gladly do so. My life is in your hands my lord! Do anything you seemed fit for this loyal servant of yours..."
