Chapter 330 Is this considered suicide?
While everyone was still wondering how the Black Tide Creatures had managed to bypass the protection of the Dawn Machines and invade Ohmma.
Lin Qiong, however, had already sensed the situation on the other side of the battlefield—
Near the entrance to the Marble Palace, a familiar figure was being besieged by countless Black Tide Creatures!
That was Aglaia!
At this moment, she was fighting alongside the tailor, her golden silk sword flashing, creating an impenetrable afterimage, carving out a clearing in the midst of the black monster horde.
Wherever the golden light reached, not a single Black Tide creature could get even half a step closer.
However, the sheer number of Kuroshio's creations was still far too large.
Faced with their attacks, Aglaia not only had to take care of herself, but also had to occasionally be distracted to watch out for any fish that slipped through the net and touched the golden threads behind her.
After all, the residents of Ohma are next to the Golden Silk.
Under such circumstances, even with the tailor's assistance, Aglaia could only fight and retreat, continuously shrinking her defensive area.
In order to protect themselves while preventing the golden threads behind them from being destroyed by the Black Tide Creatures.
Just as Aglaia stopped several Black Tide Creatures that were trying to bypass her and rush towards the Golden Silk behind her.
A shout pierced the air!
"Ms. Aglaia! Step back!"
Upon hearing this, Aglaia seemed to instantly recognize the person's identity and immediately leaped back several steps without hesitation.
Almost as soon as she finished her action, an extremely hot aura exploded among the countless black tide creations!
boom--!
A loud bang followed.
Flames erupted, instantly engulfing nearly half of the Black Tide creations.
Their seemingly indestructible bodies become as fragile as withered leaves under the blazing fire.
In the blink of an eye, those Black Tide creations were completely burned to ashes.
"Phew...finally some peace and quiet."
Holding the Destroyer in his hand, Lin Qiong stood on the scorched clearing he had just created and let out a long, relaxed sigh.
But the next second, as if remembering something, he hurriedly turned to look at Aglaia, his voice filled with obvious worry:
"Ms. Aglaia, are you alright?"
"I am fine."
Aglaia shook her head slightly, but her expression remained tense.
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Let's deal with the remaining Black Tide creations first, and I'll tell you the whole story later."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong paused slightly, swallowed the question that was already on the tip of his tongue, and then slowly nodded.
At that very moment, Xing, Danheng, Bai'e, and others joined the battle, beginning to eliminate the remaining Black Tide creations around them.
Soon, under the fierce attack of the crowd, the remaining Black Tide creations on the field were defeated one after another, and their numbers decreased sharply at a visible speed.
When Lin Qiong used the Calamity Annihilation technique to pierce through the last Black Tide Creation, its body turned into ashes and vanished.
This brief skirmish has finally come to an end!
And as the Marble Palace returned to tranquility.
Lin Qiong and his group then arrived at Aglaia's side one after another, preparing to ask her about the Black Tide invasion.
Before they could even ask any questions, a corpse lying on the ground attracted everyone's attention.
The corpse lay on its back, with a horrifying penetrating wound on its chest. The edges of the wound were blackened, as if it had been burned.
The face of the deceased was still frozen with a look of shock and disbelief, as if he had encountered some unexpected betrayal before he died.
"Kainese!?"
Upon seeing the corpse's face clearly, Bai E in the crowd's pupils constricted sharply, and he blurted out the other person's name.
"How...did she die?" Bai'er frowned, his words abruptly stopping as he subconsciously looked up at Aglaia.
Judging from his questioning expression, he seemed to want to confirm with Aglaia whether she had executed Katniss on the spot.
"Tsk tsk, isn't this a case of getting what they deserved?"
Lin Qiong smiled with a hint of smugness, his tone full of sarcasm.
He felt no pity for the woman who had taken hostages at the citizens' assembly; on the contrary, he felt a little sorry for her.
Lin Qiong sighed with regret, "Alas, it's a pity I couldn't witness the moment she was executed."
Upon hearing this, Xing immediately leaned closer curiously, examining Katniss's corpse on the ground, and whispered to Lin Qiong:
"Who is this person? Why are you so eager for her to die?"
Clearly, the star, who was still in the underworld at the time, did not recognize this senator.
Lin Qiong was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded: "Oh, you weren't there at the time."
He then briefly recounted to Star the outrageous things Katniss had done.
Upon hearing this, Xing's eyes widened immediately, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face: "No way, are there really such vicious people here?"
"Holding citizens hostage and deliberately attracting the Black Tide Creatures to attack the city—is this something a human could do?"
“No normal person would do such a thing.” Lin Qiong shrugged, pointed to Katniss’s corpse, and said calmly, “So, she’s dead now.”
After Lin Qiong finished speaking, Dan Heng suddenly stepped forward, looked at Aglaia with a serious expression, and asked, "Ms. Aglaia, what exactly happened here?"
Upon hearing this, Aglaia turned her gaze away from Katniss's cold corpse and began to recount the whole story to everyone.
After listening to Aglaia's story, everyone showed different expressions.
"What! Those Black Tide creations... were actually transformed from humans!"
Feng Jin's eyes widened, and she gasped in surprise, covering her mouth. This shocking truth made her face darken.
Compared to Feng Jin, Bai E's face was also filled with shock, but he did not focus too much attention on the Black Tide Creation.
More than the Black Tide creation itself, he was more concerned about "that person" that Katniss mentioned.
"Who exactly is 'that person'?"
Bai E frowned, gazing intently at the ground, and murmured thoughtfully, "Does this power that can transform humans into Black Tide creations... truly exist?"
At the same time, Lin Qiong's reaction seemed out of place compared to the solemn expressions of the two.
After listening to Aglaia recount the events, especially hearing that Katniss had turned all her Cleansers into Black Tide Creatures,
He was taken aback for a moment.
He was wondering how Katniss could be so powerful as to make the Black Tide Creatures obey her.
It should be noted that these monsters corrupted by the Black Tide are completely devoid of reason and basically kill anyone they see.
But then, when Lin Qiong heard that Katniss had been stabbed to death by the monster she had transformed into, he almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What is this? Suicide?"
