Chapter 175 Almost got completely controlled by His Majesty Caesar.
Krystal gave a soft "hmm" and slowly opened her mouth:
"That's right, but it's not the Katniss you two know."
"This person is the leader of the 'Purgers' of this era."
"Since the Golden War, they have taken it upon themselves to annihilate the Golden Descendants."
"Even now that I have united all the nations, these insects still lurk in the shadows, plotting to hinder my journey to pursue fire..."
"Not only that, I also know that the twenty-seventh inheritor of this person has a lot of grudges with you, and almost ruined the second journey of chasing fire..."
Krystal, with one hand on her hip, smiled gently, her gaze falling on Little Grey and Xi Lian.
"The saying goes, 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'—out of respect, I offer this man's body as a gift to you both."
...
"Haha! This is so satisfying!"
"Well done!"
"That felt amazing!!"
"Kainese really got what she deserved."
"Long live Empress Caesar!"
"We can never repay Empress Caesar's kindness!"
Upon seeing Katniss killed, the people of Douluo Continent were first stunned, then erupted in thunderous cheers.
This scene was thoroughly enjoyable for everyone.
Katniss, a person so wicked, deserved to die young.
However, some people felt that killing her so easily was too lenient on this villain.
Everyone secretly thought to themselves that they should torture her a hundred or a thousand times first.
Can't she prolong her soul through alchemy?
It would take a hundred or a thousand years of torment to quell the hatred in her heart.
However, regardless of the circumstances, Kerudela's actions perfectly aligned with the wishes of everyone on Douluo Continent.
Despite her petite stature and short stature, her strength and authority are astonishingly powerful.
Above the sky, the little gray-haired boy stared blankly as he saw Clydella kill Katniss and even present her corpse to him. He stammered, "..."
"You...know us?"
Xi Lian, who was standing to the side, immediately sensed that something was wrong. She looked at the little gray-haired boy and said cautiously:
"Be careful, let's wait and see."
"She... is probably trying to intimidate us."
Krystra ignored their hushed conversation and introduced herself in a dignified voice:
"To maintain order and hierarchy, the world has bestowed upon me many titles: the 'Burning Crown' who ended war, the 'Dictator' of Cloud Cliff, the 'Empress' of the Holy City, and the 'Caesar' who chased fire."
"However, given your special status, I will allow you to address each other by your real names—"
"Cerudela, on behalf of my land and people, pays homage to the Savior."
These words clearly sounded like an attempt to curry favor with Little Gray.
However, Xi Lian became increasingly cautious and subconsciously lowered her stance.
Needing more information, she cautiously asked:
"Excuse my presumption, but... do you know her identity?"
Krystra nodded slightly.
"Indeed. As the oracle of Tibor foretold: 'The Savior will come from beyond the heavens in the future.'"
Upon hearing this, Tibo, who was standing nearby, widened her eyes in disbelief.
Then, she sighed heavily and lowered her head with a worried expression.
Krystal looked at the little gray-haired girl, crossed her arms, and carefully examined her.
"Gray hair, golden eyes, skilled with hammer and spear, have descended upon Janusapolis today, without a doubt."
...
"No, what did Caesar call Tibo? 'Hostage'?"
"Aren't protons hostages?"
"This is Onphalus a thousand years ago, when Tiriscipios had just received the fire from the Gate Titans!"
"She transformed into a thousand little Tibbers, spreading them throughout the continent of Onpharos, solely to spread the prophecy of creation."
"How come they've become hostages when it comes to Caesar?"
The people on Douluo Continent were filled with doubt and couldn't figure it out.
Tibo made enormous sacrifices for her journey to the fire.
She was the first demigod of Onphalus, highly respected and of esteemed status.
How dare Crydella be so disrespectful to Tibo!
"Are you all stupid?! This is Empress Caesar blatantly trying to intimidate Little Grey and his friends!"
"Only Little Gray didn't notice? Didn't he see that Xi Lian was already on guard against Caesar?"
The hotel where Little Gray Hair had previously stayed was already surrounded by crowds.
At the very front and in the most prominent position sat a group of powerful Soul Masters.
The three academic committee members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, along with three Soul Douluo of the eighth ring, were also sitting here, quietly waiting for Little Gray Hair.
Seeing the confused expressions on the faces of everyone around him, and even some of them looking angry!
Those who support Tibo and those who support Caesar are about to fight!
Chief Education Commissioner Meng Shenji stroked his long white beard, his voice authoritative and steady:
"From the very beginning, Caesar was asserting his dominance!"
"As a demigoddess of law, she killed the law priest right away and captured and killed the leader of the Cleansers who hunted the Golden Blood, and handed him over to Xi Lian and the others!"
"Isn't she just showing off her absolute strength?"
Another member of the education committee, Zhilin, with a well-proportioned figure, ordinary face, and deep, bright eyes, spoke in a slightly hoarse voice:
"Have you forgotten what Caesar said?"
As he spoke, Zhilin imitated Krystal's tone.
"To maintain order and hierarchy, the world has bestowed upon me many titles: the 'Burning Crown' who ended war, the 'Dictator' of Cloud Cliff, the 'Empress' of the Holy City, and the 'Caesar' who chased fire."
"However, given your special status, I will allow you to address each other by your real names—"
"Cerudela, on behalf of my land and people, pays homage to the Savior."
In the crowd, Shi Mo from the Royal Fighting Team quickly raised his hand and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Teacher, isn't Caesar trying to befriend them with those words?"
"You brainless people! I always tell you to read more books, but you never listen! What's her premise? It's the principle of respecting hierarchy!"
"She is the Queen of Ohmar, and everyone must revere her!"
"Because Xing and Xilian have special identities, they are allowed to call Kelidela by her real name."
"However, Caesar added that she said it was only on behalf of her land and people."
"The meaning couldn't be clearer: on Caesar's territory, Xing and Xilian's status and position were all bestowed by Caesar."
"She can crown the little gray-haired girls as saviors, and she can just as easily condemn them as sinners!"
"Tibo's status is so noble; Caesar's ascension to the throne of Empress owes much to Tibo!"
"Such a meritorious official should have held a high position and great power by Caesar's side, but Caesar demoted him to a hostage with a single word!"
"She's warning Little Gray and Xilian that once they're in her territory, they must obey her!"
"Otherwise, the fate of Katniss and the Law Priest will be the same as that of Little Grey and Xilian!"
"You actually think Caesar is making overtures! Don't be naive!"
"She is the Queen of Ohma, the ruler of this land! How could she be someone who believes in fate, having built such a vast empire in a century?"
"I'm afraid those prophecies have long been used by her to win people's hearts!"
The short, stout Education Commissioner Bai Baoshan patted his round belly, squinted his eyes slightly, and chuckled as he said:
"Xi Lian is so clever; she saw through Caesar's intentions long ago and warned Little Gray Fur immediately!"
"Oh, I see. No wonder she could become empress and have such a firm grip on the situation!"
"Most people wouldn't even think of this. They would probably be so pleased with Caesar's words that they would have revealed all their secrets!"
After listening to the three education commissioners' thorough explanations, everyone suddenly understood and nodded in agreement.
People became more wary of Caesar, but at the same time, they admired him even more.
Faced with the prophesied savior from outer space, she neither groveled nor begged him to save her fate.
Instead, they firmly hold all power in their own hands.
Perhaps in her eyes, the arrival of Little Gray Hair was just a pawn that could be used.
