Chapter 148 Will the wind that travels far stop for me, Sefaria?
A new scene suddenly appeared on the sky!
Marble Palace, a sanctuary perched high above Ohmma, overlooking the entire city.
Aglaia was surrounded by Katniss and her group.
Katniss held a gleaming dagger, pointing it directly at Aglaia, her tone sinister and her voice hoarse:
"Aglaia, you immortal witch, you deceive the mortals in the guise of a god! Today we will judge you with our daggers!"
Despite being surrounded and slandered by the crowd, Aglaia remained calm.
He showed no fear whatsoever, and the faint golden light surrounding him exuded the dignity of a demigod.
However, Katniss did not attack directly; instead, she turned her dagger and pointed it at the ordinary people below the Heavenly Palace.
Those mortals frolicking in the bath, oblivious to the danger, threaten Aglaia with their lives!
Aglaia's eyes flickered slightly, but she still showed no sign of compromising.
Seeing this, Katniss remained calm and instead was willing to spend more time explaining her scheme:
"These days, I have been running rampant in the city of Ohma, committing numerous atrocities. You have the ability to monitor the entire city, yet you have remained indifferent."
"Ha, I think you're not just indifferent, but your power has long since waned, and you don't even have the confidence to stop me anymore!"
A wicked grin spread across her face, her eyes gleaming with calculation.
"Humanity is exhausted? Ha, Aglaia, why don't you use your proud golden thread to read my thoughts?"
Katniss pressed on, her tone growing increasingly menacing.
"Look at the gift we've carefully prepared for you. Will it be able to move a cold demigod?"
Aglaia slowly closed her eyes, and golden threads instantly spread out from her body, like a fine spider web, reaching into Katniss's thoughts.
The next second, she seemed to see an incredibly terrifying scene and suddenly opened her eyes.
His pupils constricted sharply, and his face turned deathly pale instantly!
Aglaia closed her eyes in anguish, her mind replaying the wicked plan she had seen in Katniss's thoughts.
Her expression turned extremely serious, and her tone was filled with murderous intent:
"In this situation, I only regret that I wasn't cold-blooded enough. Because your evil... is incurable, and you deserve to die!"
Seeing this, Katniss burst into triumphant laughter, her voice shrill:
"Finally figured out what I was thinking? Ha... You really have become slow-witted, even worse than I expected."
"To make sure you can see it clearly, I've been trying my best to keep that image in my mind, afraid that you, a demigod, won't be able to react!"
Then, a dimly lit scene of memory appeared on the sky, like a faded old photograph:
In the picture, a thin little girl stands in front of Aglaia.
Her eyes were clear, but she remained silent and did not respond at all—it turned out she was deaf and mute.
Fortunately, Aglaia's golden thread could sense people's hearts, allowing her to communicate with this silent girl.
Through the golden thread, Aglaia learned that the girl had lost something she cherished and had been depressed about it ever since.
Subsequently, Aglaia personally took action and defeated the filth lurking in the corners of the city.
The little girl's lost items have been successfully recovered!
When they saw the little girl's lost belongings, everyone on Douluo Continent's eyes narrowed, their faces filled with shock—
That ancient stone bracelet—wasn't it the very token that Aglaia ultimately chose to infuse with all her divinity?
Aglaia tried to warn the girl through the gold thread not to easily expose her weaknesses, lest she be taken advantage of by evil people.
However, the silent girl could not understand these complex words.
He simply gazed at Aglaia with eyes full of admiration and envy, mentally praising her for being very beautiful.
I especially admire her bright eyes.
Then, the girl carefully handed the bracelet to Aglaia, conveying her feelings purely through her thoughts:
(This hip stone amulet is for my sister. I hope it brings you good luck every day and that you will never be bullied by anyone in the future!)
Aglaia felt a warmth in her heart and gently accepted the precious gift, filled with gratitude for the innocent little girl.
But everyone outside the canopy could see it clearly.
Behind Aglaia, a Cleanser wearing a hideous mask was secretly watching everything.
His eyes were sinister; he was clearly plotting something.
The scene shifts back to the Marble Palace, where Katniss, arms crossed, says with a sinister expression:
"What would happen if that girl, who can neither speak nor hear, also 'accidentally' lost her eyesight?"
"You know better than anyone what it's like to lose your sight, Aglaia?"
She deliberately emphasized her words, making them sound malicious.
"Imagine, a thousand years ago, if you had gone blind as a child and were also deprived of your vocal cords and hearing—could you still be the Aglaia we know today?"
...
"Beast! This is the most despicable beast in the world!"
On the Douluo Continent, countless people watched with righteous indignation, roaring with uncontrollable rage.
The little girl was already deaf and mute.
Unable to speak or hear, living is inherently full of hardship and pain.
Katniss even wanted to blind her, plunging her into the abyss of darkness!
In the previously revealed plot, all we knew was that Katniss killed Aglaia.
Unaware of the details, they thought Aglaia had exhausted her divine power to pave the way for Bai'e.
Katniss seized the opportunity to kill him and throw him into the bathtub below.
But now everyone finally sees clearly that even though Aglaia's power had declined at that time, she was still far beyond what ordinary people like Katniss could fight against!
They repeatedly accused Aglaia of being inhuman and a witch disguised as a demigod.
"Sinners" should be judged with a dagger.
Behind the scenes, he used the light of an innocent little girl to threaten Aglaia, a despicable act!
This is something no human being could do!
The people on Douluo Continent were furious and wished they could rush into the sky and beat up Katniss.
Many people even began to pray that the heavens could summon Katniss to the Douluo Continent.
They will surely come up with a thousand, even tens of thousands of ways to torture her, making her wish she were dead, and causing her to spend her life in torture and despair forever!
Above the sky, Katniss saw that with a simple trick, she had completely shattered Aglaia's will to resist.
Disappointment involuntarily appeared on his face, and his tone was contemptuous:
"Look at your broken and pleading eyes... It's really disappointing. We overestimated your skills and character."
"If this plan fails, we have prepared dozens of wonderful parting gifts... Demigod, would you like to hear them?"
Aglaia slowly raised her head, gazing into the distance, her voice filled with reminiscence of the past and a hint of weariness:
"...I thought I could buy more time."
"A thousand years... I witnessed the fall of ten Titans, from their initial arrogance and ignorance to their later groping to guide others..."
As she spoke, Aglaia slowly walked to the edge of the platform, looking down at the people of Ohma who were gathered in the bath below, laughing and talking about their bright future.
His voice carried a hint of weakness, yet also a sense of relief and liberation.
"Now... it's time to let go."
"I should be grateful... grateful that I have finally waited for this moment—that my departure can be used as a long staircase for everyone to move forward."
She looked down at the bathwater below, where golden divine power flowed, a hint of uncertainty in her eyes, her voice as soft as a sigh:
"...Have I done enough? If I were to embrace that prophecy now and fall asleep in the warm pool..."
Seeing Aglaia with her back to them, completely unguarded, Katniss gave the Cleanser beside her a sinister look.
The cleaners immediately understood, their eyes turning sinister and cunning.
Holding sharp daggers, they silently surrounded Aglaia, approaching her step by step.
Aglaia was oblivious to the danger around her, a faint sadness on her face.
Looking up at the distant sky, what comes to mind is that petite, slender cat-eared girl who used to frequently pass by my weaving workshop.
"...Will the wind that travels far stop for me, Sefaria?"
