Lilith watched the scene of the corpses disappearing with a heart full of anguish, desperately wanting to salvage something.
However, the majority of her powers had already been transferred to Katerina. She no longer had the ability to alter the situation and could only watch helplessly as it unfolded.
In a daze, Lilith seemed to see the phantoms of her twelve children emerging one by one above the corpses, their expressions and postures identical to how they were before.
The children all bore contented smiles on their faces, waving goodbye to Lilith in turn. Their mouths opened and closed in unison, repeating the same phrase: "Live on."
Suddenly, Lilith felt a sense of relief.
She understood that her children had forgiven her—or more accurately, they had never harbored resentment toward her. Instead, they had been consumed by guilt and regret, believing that everything had originated from their jealousy.
