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.
Lillian's lips curled into a cold smile. "Don't worry. If it were truly that artificial god you're talking about,
we wouldn't stand a chance. But what Selena brought with her only possesses a small portion of its
abilities."
"A wide-scale interception attack like this will quickly drain its energy," Robert added.
And once Gaia ran out of energy, Selena would be left with no options...
Lillian's guess was spot-on; Gaia's energy quickly depleted as bullets rained down upon them. The little This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
body flew through the air and landed in front of Selena in tatters - clothes torn apart and limbs broken.
Selena bent down and gently picked up Gaia in her arms as tears welled up in her eyes. "Don't be
afraid... 'Mommy' will make you even more beautiful."
Gaia made an eerie expression as she cried out in pain sensing mortal danger before jumping out of
Selena's embrace once again to shield her from harm.
The meaning of Gaia's birth was to protect humanity.
And Selena was the one who gave it life, creating it herself.
It would instinctively protect her until the moment it was completely destroyed.
...
In the driver's seat, Lillian saw this scene and raised her hand to press a launcher button.
A deadly missile shot towards Selena's location and launched into the air.
...
Selena watched as the missile exploded with tremendous force, countless formula coordinates flashing
through her mind in an instant.
She quickly calculated where the missile would land and rolled with all her might, narrowly avoiding a
bone-shattering fate.
But human strength is limited. She dodged once but didn't have enough energy to dodge again.
Selena looked up coldly at all of Lillian's warplanes until she died. Even then, she sat up elegantly and
smiled. "The glory and throne of the empire will never belong to a despicable regicide."
She died but Queen Lillian's body still lived on along with that big brother who had close ties with her.
These embers left behind will eventually spread to Lillian, burning away all her ambitions and sins.
Inside the command room, Lillian raised her hand, stopping everyone else's attacks. She looked at
Selena standing amidst a group of maimed bodies, looking disheveled and defeated. Through the
screen she said to her former ruler, "History is written by the victors, Selena... you never wanted to
understand that even until death!"
After speaking, Lillian raised her right hand in front of herself and bowed towards Selena. Robert
behind her also made the same gesture towards those who had come to ambush Selena.
Lillian lowered her hand and stood up straight again. She looked at Selena on the screen with a cold
yet respectful tone: "Your Majesty... it's over."
With no more obstruction from little Gaia or Selena herself, all Lillian needed to do was cross over their
corpses and use a fighter jet to bomb this entire area into ruins - then she would have achieved what
she set out for.
The true queen has been killed by her hands; what difficulty is there in killing a little girl who has taken
over the queen's body?
Lillian gave a cold smile as she pressed down on one of the shells...
Selena stood in the center of a pile of corpses. Her slender body appeared tiny and pitiful when
compared with those tanks around it; however despite being alone, that aura of cold authority
overshadowed everyone else present.
