Chapter 621 The Past
Few young people today know this.
When the empress was just a princess with the right of inheritance, she had a twin brother.
The younger brother was different from the empress. He was quiet, seldom met people, and seemed to have no ambition. He did not compete with the empress for the right to inherit the throne, so few people knew him.
After the Queen ascended the throne, her twin brother rarely appeared in public, and over time rumors spread that he had died.
But because the Queen never held a funeral for him, such rumors were all treated as rumors.
Decades passed, and the Queen's twin brother disappeared, and he gradually faded out of people's sight.
Many people even said that perhaps the Queen never had a twin brother from the beginning, and that it was just a rumor fabricated by people who wanted to undermine the Queen's prestige.
However, Wuming's appearance now reminded everyone of the "rumors" from decades ago.
The Queen really has a twin brother!
"Igna, when you disappeared, I searched for you for a long time. For so many years... I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you were still alive..."
The Queen spoke in a sighing tone, and there was no joy in her words that came from a sibling reunion. Instead, there was a hint of complexity and melancholy.
Wuming walked over to Grisis, who was looking shocked, and naturally took the cane from him. He looked up and made eye contact with the Queen:
"You are not dead yet, how could I die?"
"Igna, you seem to have some misunderstandings about me..."
"My name is Wuming now."
Wuming interrupted the queen and turned to look at Grisis beside him: "You don't have to worry that I will take your throne. I just want revenge now."
"Revenge?" The Queen laughed when she heard this. "I think I treated you well in the beginning and never wronged you. But now you want revenge on me?"
"Well, you were indeed 'good' to me. From food, clothing, shelter, transportation, to daily entertainment, you gave me everything I wanted, but... you just didn't allow me to go out or see my father. I will always remember this."
Wuming spoke softly, and in just a few words, the two of them laid bare what happened that year in front of everyone.
The queen was silent this time. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was smiling, but the smile seemed a bit bitter.
Seeing this, Wuming continued, "I know what you are afraid of. You are afraid that I will obtain the inheritance right and take away the throne you have always dreamed of."
The Queen did not deny this.
The Queen and Wuming are rare twins in the royal family. What's even rarer is that both of them have outstanding talents and wisdom. If they can grow up smoothly, they will definitely become the shining twin stars of the empire.
However, precisely because both of them were so outstanding, they had an unimaginable obsession and desire for the throne.
Therefore, even though they are twins, they are wary and hostile to each other.
But in fact, Wuming had not thought of targeting the Queen at the beginning. He and the Queen were siblings, and before the other princes and princesses who had the right of inheritance were defeated, the two of them could definitely join forces.
However, what surprised Wuming was that his sister was so outstanding.
Excellent to the point of being terrifying.
Before Wuming could start to implement the action, the power of the original princes and princesses began to shrink drastically. At the same time, the empress, who knew Wuming's thoughts, began to imprison Wuming for more than ten years.
——You are my brother, I don’t want to kill you, so you just stay here forever.
These are the words the Queen spoke when she imprisoned Wuming.
The way the Queen spoke at that time was the same as it is now, with a smile on her face and very gentle, just like a sister who cares about her younger brother.
But in fact, the thoughts in her heart are more vicious and cruel than anyone else.
The previous emperor was deceived by her and believed that she would become a wise emperor and make the empire flourish after she succeeded to the throne. So after the empress eliminated all her opponents, the previous emperor decisively handed over the throne to the empress.
I went to explore the world ocean.
This is also one of the destinations of emperors of all dynasties.
Emperors of all dynasties, if they did not have a good talent for spiritual practice, would commit suicide after abdicating, leaving their souls and consciousness engraved in the royal genealogy, waiting to be awakened by future generations.
If one has extremely good talent and has reached the eighth or ninth level of cultivation within a hundred years, then after abdicating, he will go to the World Sea to find a new world for the empire.
As a result, the previous emperor could not be seen in the empire.
This is also a rule set by the imperial family to prevent the previous emperor from interfering with the decision-making of the current emperor.
Emperors of all dynasties were extremely talented people, and therefore when they abdicated, it was time for them to explore the World Sea.
The previous emperor passed the throne to the empress and went to the World Sea, so he was unable to see what the empress did after she ascended the throne.
The first ten years of the Queen's reign were the bloodiest ten years in the empire.
She executed anyone who disobeyed her, even some princes and princesses who had been hostile to her.
Win over the Prime Minister, win over the ministers, suppress the Council of Elders, and suppress all voices of resistance in the empire.
The Queen has ruled the empire with iron and blood for nearly a hundred years! Wuming really wants to know if the previous emperor, their father, would regret his choice after knowing what the Queen is doing now.
"What's the point of saying this now?"
The Queen spoke calmly.
What happened in the past is all in the past, and the Queen has been on the throne for less than ten years. Even if Wuming succeeds in a coup here now, he will never be able to obtain the throne with his current status.
So what's the point of him being here?
revenge?
Looking back at what the Queen had done now, all she did was imprison him in the house and not let him go out.
By now, Wuming has regained his freedom, and the queen has been on the throne for nearly a hundred years and is about to abdicate. What's the point of Wuming's appearance at this moment?
They even created a Renaissance Society...
What is he trying to revive? The ancient empire? It's simply hilarious.
"Yeah, what's the point of saying so much to you? Your corrupt and dirty nature cannot be changed." Wuming sighed.
The queen smiled and said, "Even if you were my brother, I would still be angry if you said that to me."
"I hate people like you who always put on a fake smile... it's disgusting!"
Wuming's face, which was very similar to the Queen's, revealed an expression of disgust that the Queen would never show.
He waved his staff, and hundreds of mechanical soldiers flew out from behind him and swarmed towards the queen sitting on the high throne.
Each of these mechanical soldiers has an eighth-level strength. It can be seen that this is one of Wuming's trump cards.
However, facing Wuming's attack, the queen only sighed softly, and her lips, which were still bright without any lipstick, moved up and down lightly:
“Stop.”
clang--
It was like the sound of a falling bell, and invisible ripples spread forward. At that moment, all the machines stopped in the air.
It's like time has stopped.
The spirit of words... to be more precise, it is an ability similar to making your words come true, which is the rule that the Queen has comprehended.
And she is almost mastering this rule completely!
"It seems that you still have a long way to go in your quest for revenge against me, my dear brother."
The queen stopped all the machines and finally smiled at Wuming.
Wuming said nothing. He just silently put his helmet back on and snapped his fingers.
In an instant, countless wormholes appeared behind him, and dense fleets flew out of the wormholes! ...
The disappeared arm was quickly restored by Brianna.
The recovery ability of a mecha pilot is linked to his own mecha. After reaching the sixth level and completely merging with the mecha, the mecha pilot is no longer an ordinary life.
Even if the heart is shattered and the head explodes, as long as the consciousness and the mecha are still there, it can recover to normal.
Brina's mecha is one of the twelve ancient inherited mechas. It is said that it once had a power above the ninth level. Naturally, it cannot be easily wiped out by Li Qi's "power".
The mecha's arm was fine, so Brianna's arm would naturally recover quickly.
But despite this, Brianna did not dare to attack Li Qi, who had power.
According to the coordinates, power is a very unreasonable thing.
How unreasonable is it? Let's put it this way, if a person can play with his own power, then even if he is an ordinary person without consciousness, he can fight against a ninth-level strongman! Yes, it is so unreasonable! It stands to reason that it is impossible for an ordinary person to fight against a strong man. Even if we don't mention the abilities of both sides, just relying on the physical fitness of an ordinary person, it is completely impossible to compete with a high-level strongman.
But the power doesn't care about that.
It's true that you can kill that ordinary person, but that ordinary person can also kill you through power.
Whoever comes will be defeated, so it depends on the speed of attack and reaction ability of both sides.
What's even more unreasonable is that some powers can forcibly raise the reaction ability and speed of ordinary people to the same level as a ninth-level strongman!
If that's the case, then as long as you can comprehend the power, why bother practicing so hard? That's the problem! Power is something that only people above the ninth level have a chance to comprehend, and even many people above the ninth level don't have power.
It is simply impossible for ordinary people to comprehend power directly.
Unless... he has an adventure.
"ha……"
Thinking of this, Brianna sighed deeply.
Seeing Li Qi stretch out his hand and grab something in the void, Brianna knew that he was probably doing something with his power.
Brianna didn't know what power Li Qi had, but to be on the safe side, she treated him as a ninth-level expert of the same level as herself, or even stronger.
After all, when Li Qi and Xin Lian combined, they had the strength of a seventh level, and the reaction speed of a seventh level could barely keep up with that of an eighth level. If he had any moves that could kill with one blow, Brianna might die here.
so--
"I quit!" Brianna raised her hands. "I quit!"
"What?" Li Qi, who was planning to create more space swords while Brina was distracted, was stunned by Brina's actions.
Brina twisted her body and said, "I'm just here for a field mission, following my boss' orders to make the fight between the Empire and the rebels more intense... I don't intend to die here, so I quit! Do whatever you want, please, I won't accompany you anymore."
Brianna raised the white flag of surrender without any resistance.
This...'decisiveness' made Li Qi stunned for a long time, but he had no intention of letting Brianna go.
Because Li Qi was very concerned about the "boss" mentioned by the other party.
Li Qi said nothing and decided to keep the other party first and talk about other things later.
However, Brianna seemed to see what Li Qi was thinking. She smiled and said:
"Don't think about it. No one can stop me if I run. Besides... we will meet again in the future. Next time... we may really become companions~ Goodbye~"
After Brina finished speaking, the thread of space trembled slightly, and her figure disappeared.
Only Li Qi was left in the air, looking at the place where Brianna left, silent.
