Chapter Index

    Mrs. Judith, with tears in her eyes, described the events of that year and the Xue family’s catastrophe in detail, attached evidence, and announced her true identity, saving it on her Interstellar Network account, and scheduled it to be announced to the entire network in two hours.

    If she were to die, she was determined to die as Xue Xin’s fiancée—

    Rather than one of the Emperor’s mistresses.

    “…Madam, Imperial Star is no longer safe. Let’s evacuate quickly.” His subordinate watched the time pass by, and Mrs. Judith was still dressing up, so he urged anxiously.

    But Mrs. Judith glanced at him, smiled beautifully, and sighed, “No, I won’t leave. You go.”

    The subordinate looked at her in surprise.

    “I’m going to the palace to see His Majesty.” Mrs. Judith gently put on her earrings, a hint of killing intent flashed in her eyes, but she boarded the hovercraft that the Emperor had given her, which allowed her to enter and leave the palace alone at any time.

    She had been waiting for the day Auston promised her before dawn to arrive, but she herself had never thought of living to see that day…

    On this day before dawn, she was determined to bury herself, the Xue family, and the Emperor together.

    At the same time, the various planets of the empire were occupied by the Hell Legion, which was hidden among the people and received orders to revolt on the spot. Auston’s other hidden identity was also exposed to the public.

    That was the leader of the rebel army—Lucifer.

    As a member of the royal family, Auston had already organized the rebel army many years ago.

    The exposure of this layer of identity not only did not disgrace Auston’s reputation in such a situation, but made the people love him even more, and made their road to revolt even smoother…

    The reason was none other than the fact that the rebel army led by Lucifer had been rebelling in the empire for many years, but had never harmed a single civilian. Every time they fought against the empire, they seized medical resources, evolution agents, treatment agents, and other resources monopolized by the royal family and nobles, and distributed them to the common people.

    In terms of what the Lucifer rebel army had done alone, no matter how the empire and the government slandered and stigmatized them… in the hearts of countless civilians in dire straits, they were Robin Hood-like bandits who robbed the rich to help the poor, even heroes.

    The rebel soldiers bearing the Lucifer Medal were able to hide so well within the empire, despite the empire and the government’s extreme hatred, not only because of Auston’s own power to cover them up, but also because of the people’s protection, help, and concealment.

    Now that Auston’s identity as Lucifer was exposed, it was tantamount to transforming from the rebellious army in the mouths of the Emperor and the government into a righteous army.

    With the help of the people, the Hell Legion and the Dawn Legion captured the Imperial planets all the way without any obstruction.

    And with the exposure of his identity, Lucifer, the leader who was majestic in the eyes of the people, contributed to the cause of equal rights for nobles and civilians, and was given infinite expectations by countless people, Auston, was cowering in front of Ruan Tang, and called out in a low voice, “Tangtang…”

    “You promised me that you would have no more secrets from me? What’s going on with Lucifer? What’s going on with the rebel army? Everyone else knows, and I’m the last one to know. It seems you never considered me one of your own from the beginning, did you?” Ruan Tang looked at him blankly.

    After knowing that Auston had already prepared a backup plan, he felt that all his previous worries were in vain.

    “It’s not my fault… It’s not like I deliberately hid it from you. You just never asked me!” Auston felt it was necessary to defend himself.

    He had been busy these past few days. Ruan Tang was trying to hack into the Imperial Army’s mecha database, and he was discussing battle plans with Ruan Yang and the others.

    The fact that he was Lucifer was not exactly him deliberately hiding it from Ruan Tang… It was just that he didn’t have time to say it.

    But he didn’t know that sometimes the more you explain, the worse it gets…

    “Okay, very good. I don’t ask you, so you think there’s no need to tell me proactively. It seems you’re hiding a lot of things from me! Tell me, what else are you hiding from me, Lord Lucifer? You don’t have someone else outside, do you?” Ruan Tang glared at him immediately.

    Auston had only ever been unreasonable himself and had never been treated so unreasonably by anyone. He looked at Ruan Tang and said righteously, “I think you’ve had enough. Don’t mess around! What else could I be hiding from you? Look at the time! You’re going too far.”

    Seriously, he had spoiled this Omega so much that he was out of control. He dared to mess around and ride on his head at a time like this.

    “Okay, I’m messing around. Now is a time of crisis. I won’t argue with you. After this is over, let’s settle the score properly, Lord Lucifer.” Ruan Tang said expressionlessly.

    It made Auston’s scalp tingle and his heart flutter.

    He was about to say something, “You…”

    “Auston, Xiao Tang…” Just then, after the two legions’ warships merged, Ruan Yang walked over from another warship.

    Ryan, as if extremely frightened, followed closely behind Ruan Yang, cautiously clutching his sleeve…

    His eyes were no longer bright and flamboyant as before. His eyes were dark and filled with a post-traumatic stress reaction.

    Seeing Ruan Yang, Ruan Tang and Auston forgot that they were just messing around and became serious: “Big brother…”

    “Little sister-in-law… Ryan is here too?” Ruan Tang immediately noticed Ryan, who was hiding behind Ruan Yang like a frightened rabbit, and asked, “What’s wrong with him?”

    Ruan Yang handed the thing he had just received to Auston without saying a word.

    Auston and Ruan Tang were both shocked when they saw it: “…This is?”

    “This is the Osfia royal family’s imperial seal. Empress Catherine had already obtained this thing before the accident. When she was killed, the Emperor and Iso didn’t find it on her… But unexpectedly, she had already secretly handed it over to Prince Andrew, asking him to hand it over to His Highness Auston.” Ruan Yang said in a solemn tone, “Two hours ago, Emperor was killed by Mrs. Judith. Chief Imperial Scribe Iso quickly stabilized the situation on Imperial Star. Although the Dawn Legion has surrounded Imperial Star, the Imperial Star’s defenses are tight, and the Dawn Legion is unwilling to harm the people of Imperial Star, so they can only hover in the air, unable to break through Imperial Star for a long time…”

    “The Imperial Star Army is a defense force loyal to the Osfia royal family. With it, plus Auston’s identity as a member of the Osfia royal family, I think we can shed less blood and be more justified when we attack Imperial Star.” Ruan Yang said word by word.

    Ruan Tang looked at the imperial seal and then at Ryan’s expression, and immediately had a bad feeling in his heart. He asked in a deep voice, “Then what about Prince Andrew?”

    “Iso is keeping a close watch on Prince Andrew’s residence. When my people were taking them out of Imperial Star, Prince Andrew and his wife sacrificed themselves to protect the imperial seal.” Ruan Yang’s voice was heavy and solemn.

    Ryan had just learned of his bloody background, and then watched his adoptive parents, who had raised him and given him endless love, die in front of him.

    Now, Ruan Yang, whom he was not familiar with and only had a nominal marriage contract with, had become his closest person.

    Although Ruan Tang was not very familiar with Prince Andrew, he also knew that it was difficult for such things to not cause deaths, but when he heard this news, he inevitably felt pain and sadness. But he held the seal and only felt that it was useless for him and Auston to say more. He could only say to Ryan word by word, “We will not let down Prince Andrew’s expectations. We will clear the names of the Xue and Callender families from that year, and we will avenge the Prince and Princess.”

    Ryan was motionless, like a person-puppet without expression.

    Ruan Yang could only hold his hand and constantly give him comfort and security.

    After Ruan Yang and Auston successfully reunited, the two armies immediately marched straight to Imperial Star.

    Auston, Ruan Yang, and Karnier divided into three directions and began to command the legions to attack the Imperial Star fortresses and defense towers, ensuring that they did not drop a single bomb.

    With the army at the city gates, everyone inside Imperial Star was panic-stricken.

    “What to do? What to do?”

    “The defense towers are about to be unable to hold on. They are about to kill their way in. What can we do?” Even politicians and councilors like Shen Mozhi were captured to respond to countermeasures and guard the four major defense towers of Imperial Star.

    The young general looked at Shen Mozhi with a worried look: “Councilor Shen, what do you say we should do? It seems that Auston, that madman, is personally leading the troops to attack our defense tower!”

    “What to do?” Shen Mozhi looked at the result in front of him, chuckled, suddenly stood up, and directly pressed the shutdown button of their eastern defense tower: “That’s what we’ll do…”

    In an instant, all the artificial intelligence armed defenses of the eastern gate of Imperial Star went out and were removed.

    “Shen Mozhi, what do you want to do?”

    “Are you trying to betray the country? Shen Mozhi—” Shen Mozhi’s movements were too fast, and everyone else was unable to react for a while. By the time he pressed the button, the remaining people wanted to rescue it, but it was too late.

    The defense tower of the eastern gate only went out for a moment, but that moment was enough for Auston to break through the eastern gate and directly kill his way into Imperial Star.

    The general who was jointly guarding the defense tower hub with Shen Mozhi wanted to reactivate the defense tower hub again, but it was too late.

    Countless guns were pointed at Shen Mozhi, but Shen Mozhi was fearless and did not regret it for a long time: “I am just helping you make a decision that none of you dare to make. Since you already know the ending, what is the point of continuing to insist?”

    Shen Mozhi, who had the memory of being reborn, knew that Auston was Lucifer, and that he would lead his army to subvert Imperial Star was a historical necessity… The only difference was that Ruan Tang became his partner in this life.

    In that case, Shen Mozhi did not feel that there was any need for him to stubbornly resist and change history.

    In his eyes, Ruan Tang was the purest and most beautiful angel in the world, worthy of all the best in the world… If Auston took Imperial Star, Ruan Tang, as his rightful partner, would naturally become the Empress.

    In that case, why should he resist?

    Even if he risked his own life, Shen Mozhi did not regret reducing casualties on Imperial Star and helping Auston kill his way into Imperial Star as soon as possible.

    Because in his eyes, only Ruan Tang was worthy of the position of Imperial Empress.

    Although Auston was surprised by the moment the eastern defense tower went out, he still did not let go of this god-given opportunity and directly led his army to break through the defense tower.
