Atlas Ashford cut in before Dr. R could keep spiraling.

“If you like it, little one, then once this treatment is finished, the Heart of Silver Radiance is yours. But you do not have to think about Orion with every good thing you see. That boy lacks nothing.”

Julian disagreed at once.

“He does. He does not have a mecha I made for him. He is also short on common sense. He is too dumb and keeps getting tricked by bad Omegas, so I have to think for him.”

Atlas: “…”

All right.

All right, then.

Atlas had not planned to expose his own grandson.

But unfairness hurt more than lack, and that brat Orion was clearly living too well.

So the old marshal spoke in a grave, earnest tone.

‘Little one, I suspect you have been fooled by him. Orion is not simple. His mind is deep, his temper is crafty, and his methods are sharp. He does not lack schemes. He has more than enough.”

Julian: “You are still slandering him.”

Atlas: “!”

A child who ignored the words of his elders would suffer for it sooner or later.

Unfortunately, Julian had already gotten what he wanted.

“Thank you, Granddad. Goodbye, Granddad. I am hanging up.

Before Atlas could answer, the line went silent.

That was what using someone and tossing them aside looked like.

Sull, Atas only laughed

The nerves pulled taut by the three front standoff relaxed slightly because of this luule exchange

What an adorable build

“Excellent. Every parasitized individual has now been sent to the barren planet Modoka The number of parasiuzed people inside the Empire has reached zero

Inside the kampire’s parasite screening command center, the newest numbers filled Prince Harold Mulholland and his allies with delight

The rear was stable now.

Their command center had, in practical terms, completed its mission

Orion, that saint, had accepted every parasitized person without pushing back.

They had done nothing.

Yet it looked as if they had achieved everything.

Once the war ended, they would keep the political credit and carry none of the stain

As for Orion…

Prince Harold looked over the front–line report and sneered.

“The day the insectoids retreat is the day the Empire settles accounts with Orion Ashford.”

He did not believe this battle would truly begin.

And reality seemed to agree with him.

Perhaps sensing the Empire’s newfound confidence, the three 3S–rank royal insectoids stayed outside the engagement lines and watched. Aside from one or two probes against the central war zone, they made no major move.

The standoff dragged on for more than a month.

Just when every faction in the Empire began meeting again to guess whether the insectoids had another hidden plan, good news arrived from all three border lines.

The insectoids had retreated.

Orlan Rockefeller held a press conference at once.

Prince Harold appeared with the council speaker, lawmakers, and imperial lords to annours e the tremendous news to the entire Empire.

“The insectoids are vile beyond forgiveness. They have brought the Empise endless pain. At this moment, I ask every imperial citizen to join me, Prince Harold Mulholland, in mourning the fellow citizens who died in this parasitic disaster.”

Tears slid down his face as he spoke

“Each of them was a hero of the Empire We Luled them”

Mourning music played

Across the Empire, countless people removed then hats. They wept for loved ones they thought they had lost and condemned the cold blooded on who had stabilized them

Everything was unfolding exactly as Harold and his people had imagined

Once the five billion who had died in the parasitic outbreak became heroes…

Once they became the Empire’s shared grief…

Then what would Orion become?

The butcher of five billion heroes.

His name would rot forever.

He would be nailed to the Empire’s pillar of shame as a tyrant and never climb down again.

Harold lowered his head for the moment of silence.

A faint smile crept across his tear–wet mouth.

Then wrist terminals began lighting up.

One after another.

The citizens who had bowed their heads in grief froze in place.

A few seconds later, their tear–blurred eyes flew wide.

What had they received?

Video calls.

Video calls from people who should have been dead.

Soon, it was not only private calls.

The official StarNet pages of the Second and Third Legions opened livestreams at the same time.

The military reposted them immediately.

Countless holographic screens across the Empire switched feeds.

Familiar faces appeared on–screen.

Alive.

Healthy.

Full of breath and strength

They stood in neat ranks before cr ormous modular wards and shouted toward the whole Empire.

“We are back!”

“Empire, we are back!

Mom, I am alive!”

“Baby, Daddy can still watch you grow up!”

The moment people saw their loved ones alive in the livestream, the Empire erupted.

Tears broke through.

People hugged, screamed, cried, and danced like they had gone mad.

“We thought we were going to be eliminated too, but we were not. General Ashford tr
