Rebirth To Be The Revenge Queen novel Chapter 1698

Chapter 1698 has ended.

The dean immediately stepped out of the office, but he was stopped by another group of people wearing research institute uniforms.

The leader asked, "Where are you going in such a hurry, Dean?"

The old dean's face was stern. "Haven't you heard the alarm? The Queen has been assassinated and we need to provide rescue!"

The person smiled. "Dean, perhaps you have forgotten that the Queen passed away a year ago. This alarm seems more like someone's ploy to distract us."

The old dean narrowed his eyes slightly. "Elbert, are you trying to overthrow me?"

Elbert lowered his head and looked at his sleeve with a smile. "Of course not, but the safety of our city center is at stake here. If there is any mistake made by our research institute, it could be disastrous."

"It is indeed important that we investigate this matter thoroughly," said the old dean coldly.

But time was of essence when it came to rescuing someone who had been attacked like this; if they wasted too much time investigating first then things might go awry.

"Arrest them!" ordered the old dean immediately.

...

As bombs exploded all around her and blood flew everywhere Selena felt as though she had been transported back in time to one of her most brutal battles.

She stood amidst smoke and fire with blackened eyes devoid of stars or moonlight calmly directing those around her as they attacked Lillian's aircraft.

Another person rushed forward to protect her, their body exploding in front of her eyes and blood mist filling Selena's vision.

Selena's white dress was stained with blood, but her eyes were bright and cold, making it impossible for anyone to look at her directly.

Little Gaia stood in front of her, its radar fully activated intercepting all large-scale artillery that was being thrown towards them. Blinding lasers occasionally flashed from the top of the small doll's head, shooting down one fighter jet after another that attempted to fly over their heads.

In the command room, Robert watched the screen with a tense expression on his face. He had only heard about this artificial god created by His Majesty before; a creation that made countless geniuses bow down before it at the research institute. But it wasn't until this moment that he realized why this creation was superior to everyone else.

"I thought Gaia existed only for protection..." After all, this artificial god mainly served as defense for various aspects of the alliance.

Lillian looked at Selena on the screen with icy eyes. "Robert, you're wrong. The original intention behind Gaia's creation wasn't just for protection."

Robert turned his gaze towards Lillian.

Lillian finally shifted her gaze away from Selena and onto the delicate little doll in front of them. "Elbert once told me that Gaia is actually a war machine with extremely outstanding combat abilities."

Lillian looked back at Selena. "It's just because its owner didn't have too much ambition and feared people within the empire would have inappropriate thoughts if they knew about it; thus hiding this fact from everyone."

A chill ran down Robert's spine.

"The emperor's mind is truly terrifying," Robert sighed, feeling a tinge of resentment towards Selena.

The emperor had the power to do so much more, yet he was content with being a great ruler during his reign. If only Lillian had been willing to sacrifice for the empire's prosperity, she wouldn't have ended up on this path.

Robert pushed aside his jumbled thoughts and turned to Gaia. "We don't have much time left..."

Elbert could hold off the rescue team from the research institute, but within the palace walls, it was certain that the monarch had already taken action.
