Chapter 477 Why Orion Can’t Stand You
“Harold. Helen. Do either of you know why Orion. can’t stand you?”
Rowan cut them a sideways look.
“Because you’re always looking down from above.”

He did not stop working while he spoke. Civilian ships across Liberty Star were being requisitioned and redirected under his command to evacuate residents, workers, and tourists. At the same time, warnings went out to every nearby planet.
Those worlds were ordered to send large transport vessels immediately and activate their planetary shields
at once.
The energy cost did not matter.
“You may not be as rotten as the people inside Neon Mirage, but you still walk around with your eyes above everyone else’s heads. You never learned to look down. You do it to ordinary Imperial citizens, and you do the same thing to military personnel.”
Harold and Helen had nothing to say.
After getting himself and his darling scolded so thoroughly that neither could raise his head, Harold desperately wanted to reach a few seconds into the past and slap himself.

The centipedes could consume a planet far faster than older insectoid strains, and soil offered them almost no resistance.
By the time Liberty Star disintegrated, they would be full, energized, and perfectly capable of accelerating away from the wreckage before burrowing into nearby planets.
That was why Rowan had ordered the neighboring worlds to raise their shields no matter how much power they burned doing it.
“B-but Omegas can give them energy too, right?” Helen still refused to give up entirely. Then why aren’t they eating the other Omegas…?”
He dared to press the question because Rowan was the easiest senior officer to deal with in the Second and Third Legions.
Orion merely looked reasonable.

The scene was terrifying. Screams rose from every direction, overlapping into something like a deranged overture before the end of the world, announcing the tragedy rushing toward them.

Most had either sleek fur that offered nothing to grip or bodies covered in ridges, angles, scales, spikes, or other hard surfaces. Asking an untrained civilian to stay aboard one was a nightmare.

kowan looked at the little Omega whose expression clearly read, See? I knew you people were useless. His smile was both innocent and helpless.
“This happened too suddenly. Right now, I really can’t. At other times, though…”
His gaze drifted toward Harold, who was struggling to keep his airborne lion steady because his psych control was not fine enough.
Then he glanced at Helen, who was wiping sweat from Harold’s face while looking thoroughly disgusted
with him.
Only after that did Rowan lean closer to Julian’s ear.
“Hard to say.”
Julian: “…”
My hand is itching.
Forget it.
