Chapter 480 The Empire Explodes Online

“See? I told you. Political power can vanish overnight. Troops under your own command are what actually
count.”
Marston used the moment to lecture his favorite nephew.
Caelan, his own precious son, had not contacted him once since returning to the capital world. Helen, by contrast, seemed to be finding his way onto the right path little by little.
As Helen’s uncle, Marston was willing to offer him more guidance.
That included Helen’s Alpha, Harold.
Helen pressed his lips together.
Harold, who had managed to follow Orion into the military and now commanded an actual legion with real authority, understood the point immediately.
“Same here.”
Marston had been obsessively studying an ancient Blue Star language lately and loved throwing old expressions into conversation. Harold had done some homework of his own whenever he found the time.
Winning over one’s spouse mattered.
Winning over the spouse’s family mattered too.
Marston had not even had time to praise Harold for finally catching on when Helen turned toward Julian.
“Julian, what do you think?”
Julian: “?”
His answer came with complete confidence.
“Orion and I are the strongest.”
The rest of his logic was just as simple.
Military authority? Political authority? If I want it, I take it.
You say you won’t give it to me? Fine. I hit you with a fist the size of a sandbag and ask again. Are you giving it to me now?
Helen understood everything.
Of course.
Every problem in his life existed because he was still too weak.
He stood immediately and headed for the Omega training room aboard the Rimeblade without once

aking back. His eyes burned with hunger for greater strength.
“Reject the requests.”
Rowan watched Harold hurry after Helen, then made the decision on the spot.
“Release them? I’d like to see who thinks they can force us.”
“What about General Ashford…?”
Adrian studied Rowan carefully.

He knew Rowan was one of Orion’s most trusted people, but this involved too many senators, nobles, and major families. A decision this large normally should have been reported upward first.
“A commander in the field can’t wait for permission from the capital every time something changes. General Ashford understands that better than anyone. Don’t worry.”
“All right.”
Adrian accepted the explanation quickly.
He would arrange for every release request to be denied.
Before he could issue the orders, however, Rowan’s next move sent the entire Empire into an uproar.
Three minutes earlier, the military had published a long video.
Inside it, a woman stared at the people around her with eyes blazing in excitement as she explained her theory at a feverish pace.
‘Insectoid eggs can dominate humans. They can erode and control the human psychic sea. Doesn’t that prove insectoids are the more advanced species? If humans were truly superior, why can’t humans control insectoid consciousness in return?”
Soon afterward…
The woman began twisting on the floor.
‘Skritch… skritch…”
Strange sounds crawled from her throat.
Then, in front of everyone present, her body transformed into a red scale-spine centipede.
The woman was Yuzuki Blackwell.
Dr. R had recorded the footage.
Someone had ordered her not to cut so much as a single frame before uploading the whole thing to
