Outcast Omega Pampered by the Alpha General novel Chapter 425

Chapter 425 The Contaminated Water

Orion had already concluded that the earlier parasite incidents were probably a smokescreen.

Seeing the scale of the real plan still chilled him.

One fact was now undeniable.

Humanity’s defeat in the previous timeline had never been an accident.

Finished

Internal division had played a part. Factions competed for power, protected their own interests, and weakened one another…

But the deepest reason was much worse.

The opponent sitting across the board from humanity had always been another human.

Someone had been arranging the game for the insectoids.

Thai person planned far ahead, understood human society down to its smallest weaknesses, and possessed an unusually precise understanding of the military.

Orion had considered Yuzuki Blackwell.

He had also considered someone else within the Blackwell family.

The evidence no longer supported either possibility.

Yuzuki was a mad scientist. She might be the central/researcher behind human-insectoid symbiosis and an essential member of the conspiracy, but she did not understand politics.

The Blackwells could dominate the Empire’s black markets and gray industries. They could not truly understand the armed forces, much less control them.

From the Empire’s founding, the military and the underworld had existed as two lines no one was permitted to cross.

They were separated by design.

Neither side could step beyond its boundary.

So the architect was not a Blackwell.

Then who was it?

Why was the answer so difficult to name?

Orion smiled bitterly.

One possibility was already pressing against the surface of his mind, but he could not bring himself to believe it.

Until absolute evidence existed, he refused to connect everything to that person.

“Thank God we came to Hanada Star. If we’d chosen another resort world, I can’t imagine what would’ve happened…”

“Mommy… My mommy isn’t a bug. She isn’t..

“My son! My boy! Our family finally managed to travel together. How could this happen? How could it happen like this?”

Crying filled Lantern Square on Hanada Star.

Countless stranded tourists had lost the people they loved most during the outbreak.

One glance over a shoulder.

One breath.

A living parent, child, partner, or lover died directly in front of them.

An accident might have been easier to endure.

This was not an accident.

The insectoids had hollowed their loved ones out.

Without anyone noticing…

Those people had become the creatures humanity hated most.

It was impossible to accept.

The survivors could not accept it.

“Do not eat or drink anything except factory-sealed bottled water and food with a production date more than one month old.”

Lily Snow, who held a doctorate in medicine, gave the star police around her the warning with a grim expression.

The instant Hanada Star fell into crisis, Lily had gathered available medical workers. Several specialists in biology had joined them.

Based on the pattern of transformations, the group suspected contamination in the food or drinking

water.

Normally, a theory remained only a theory until evidence confirmed it. Some people would ignore the warning, while others would exploit the confusion to argue against it.

Hanada Star was different.

With Julian and so many spirit forms holding the line, it stabilized faster than any other resort world.

The star police and planetary defense force were already military branches, so both had gathered around the Omegas at once.

Julian held the highest military rank among the Omegas present and therefore became temporary commander of the response.

Julian had no interest in administration.

The actual coordination fell naturally to Ari.

“Please remain calm. The mecha units will land on Hanada Star very soon. Once they arrive, everyone There will be protected.”

Ari repeated the reassurance over the public broadcast system.

The feed reached more than Lantern Square. Every shelter on the planet was linked to the same channel so that the authorities could calm the population and maintain as much order as possible.

Once the mecha forces landed, Hanada Star could begin restoring normal conditions at maximum speed.

That was why so many tourists kept saying they were fortunate to be stranded here rather than elsewhere.

Every Omega found some way to help. Even Helen, who possessed almost no administrative talent but exceptional artistic skill, brought out his violin.

Julian, meanwhile, carried the wolf cub away from the crowd one slow step at a time. He wanted a little air near the water.

The moment he reached the shore, he sensed that something was wrong.

His divine sense swept through the lake.

Countless transparent insectoid eggs floated beneath the surface, packed together so densely that the water seemed filled with them. Larvae moved silently inside each shell.
