Yama Reborn-Chapter 599 - 596: The Weakest of Their Rank?

Enke is indeed a talent.

The method of using labor recruitment for relief is not just about finding something for the refugees to do and consuming their energy.

Through the process of organizing labor recruitment, Enke even took the opportunity to intervene and disrupt the tribal coalition system among the refugees.

During the distribution of food and recruitment of workers, Enke unexpectedly expanded his own power, gathering over a thousand young and strong men—whether he can thoroughly digest these people depends on Enke's capability.

However, Chen Nuo vaguely saw the budding shape of a small warlord gradually forming.

But these are not matters that Chen Nuo is interested in worrying about—according to his own words, he just possesses the basic humanity that cannot let him stand by and watch a large-scale massacre occur in front of him.

·

On the seventh day after the outbreak of a large-scale melee, Pengpeng made his move again.

Chen Nuo received news that a government army engaged in a fierce battle with local armed forces was personally assaulted by Pengpeng through [Heaven's Punishment].

During the melee, Pengpeng directly intervened, using near-godlike means to crush that battlefield.

Thousands were killed or wounded.

A portion of them were government forces, and another portion belonged to the local armed forces engaged in the melee.

Pengpeng's actions showed no concern whether the casualties were friend or foe.

This guy's methods are growing increasingly ruthless, cruel, and... dark!

The enraged Pengpeng killed government forces without considering those local armed forces that worshipped him.

·

Nolan suggested an idea to Chen Nuo.

Which is...

Since several top-tier controllers have gathered together, why not look for an opportunity on the battlefield?

If there's a chance to encounter Pengpeng, even though Pengpeng has spatial abilities, there are ways to apprehend this guy and prevent him from escaping!

If Pengpeng could be captured, perhaps the location of the Mother Clone could be discovered before the Octopus Monster finds it.

Chen Nuo was somewhat tempted by this suggestion.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

Because Chen Nuo always had a feeling:

The Octopus Monster may already know where the Mother Clone is!

This notion of capturing Pengpeng to get ahead—it's utterly meaningless!

·

"So you think... the Octopus Monster is helping the Mother Clone clear pollution?"

Gray Cat lay lazily on the sofa near the window, looking at Chen Nuo.

"The Octopus Monster is accelerating Pengpeng's dark turn, this action made me connect to such a hypothesis," Chen Nuo looked at Gray Cat: "Pengpeng is the power granted by the Mother Clone, a monster stronghold created by the Mother Clone.

I even feel that the reason Pengpeng is so evil might be... this is precisely a way for the Mother Clone to clear its own pollution.

It's like when you eat something bad, you need to quickly expel the dirty stuff.

Pengpeng is just a product of this model.

Pengpeng is a container for negative emotion, as the Mother Clone endowed him with power, it also excreted its own [Negative Emotion Poison] into this container.

The more Pengpeng turns dark, the more toxins the Mother Clone excretes."

Clearing pollution?

Gray Cat seriously contemplated for a moment and slowly said: "It's a very interesting guess; I think it seems somewhat plausible."

"And the Octopus Monster clearly knows this point, so it intentionally provokes Pengpeng, deliberately causing friction and conflicts on this land, prompting Pengpeng to act repeatedly.

Then it ignites larger-scale warfare, thoroughly detonating Pengpeng's rage.

Pengpeng starts indiscriminate slaughter, escalating his level of dark transformation.

This is the Octopus Monster helping the Mother Clone clear pollution!"

Gray Cat narrowed her eyes: "So..."

"So, I feel, the Octopus Monster either knows the Mother Clone's mode of pollution clearing and intentionally collaborates.

Or it's possible it already found the Mother Clone and is collaborating with it. After all, after clearing the pollution, it can devour the Mother Clone's experience pack."

Gray Cat said nothing.

Chen Nuo stared at Gray Cat: "Anyway, at least we can deduce one thing, the Octopus Monster clearly understands how the Mother Clone clears pollution.

Then you, Gray Cat, as a Seed, don't you know this model?"

Gray Cat shook her head: "I really don't know."

Chen Nuo stared at Gray Cat for a long while but couldn't discern whether Gray Cat was speaking truthfully.

"Alright, then let's discuss something we both know," Chen Nuo's voice and tone were very serious: "In this plan against the Octopus Monster, you, Gray Cat, a Seed, what role do you intend to play?"

Gray Cat raised her head and looked at Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo steadily said: "We certainly don't want the Octopus Monster to devour this Mother Clone.

So, we will find ways to prevent the Mother Clone from being weakened too drastically, and when the Octopus Monster attempts to devour it, the Mother Clone will still have the capability to resist... letting the two clash, resulting in mutual destruction, letting the Octopus Monster's attempt to devour the Mother Clone fail...

This is the most ideal state.

But no matter what, in the end, we will face a problem.

The best scenario is to eliminate the Mother Clone! Eliminating the Mother Clone will naturally thwart the Octopus Monster's scheme.

But if elimination fails...

Gray Cat, if the Octopus Monster can't devour the Mother Clone.

There must be a Seed to devour the Mother Clone... would you want that Seed to be you?

Or, let me rephrase the question.

Gray Cat, your involvement in this matter, what's your goal? Is it to sabotage the Octopus Monster's efforts, while planning to devour the Mother Clone yourself, using it as your Nutrient Pack?"

As Chen Nuo says this, his gaze towards Gray Cat becomes serious.

No matter what, even though Gray Cat has always appeared to be on our side...

But in the end, it's still a Seed!

Like the Octopus Monster, like The Fourth Seed, there's no difference.

The plan is to thwart the Octopus Monster's intentions, preventing it from becoming stronger.

But if it means letting another Seed grow strong—even if it's Gray Cat.

It might not necessarily be a good outcome.

All Seeds' ultimate goal is evolution, to win the Seed war!

Including Gray Cat.

Even if it has repeatedly declared its withdrawal from the race.

That was a survival strategy when it felt its strength was insufficient.

But if its strength becomes formidable, who can guarantee that it will maintain its original stance?

Gray Cat sighed.

Its voice was serious: "I withdrew from the race because I don't want to die; I want to live. In my heart, I have little interest in competition or winning this contest.

My goal, in the first order, is survival.

I came to Africa to partake in this because my survival has been threatened. I sense Seed becoming increasingly powerful. I don't intend to devour the Mother Clone here, but I have to take some action."

Chen Nuo understood.

Gray Cat's words were tantamount to having made a statement.

It intends to devour the Mother Clone!

Because Gray Cat's greatest threat is the increasingly powerful Seed.

So merely eliminating the Mother Clone won't solve Gray Cat's problem.

Even, for Gray Cat, letting the Octopus Monster devour the Mother Clone holds certain value.

Some Seed needs to become strong, to contend somewhat with Seed—if Seed stands alone, the competition will end soon.

"What I can promise you is, even if I devour the Mother Clone and enhance my power... I won't engage in the competition; I just want to protect myself and survive.

Chen Nuo, for you, this actually isn't a bad thing.

If the competition is indefinitely extended, would it be any loss to you?"

Chen Nuo thought for a moment; the answer was seemingly not.

Moreover, he can't confront Gray Cat now.

Already about to deal with the Octopus Monster... if he were to deal with Gray Cat as well?

A few human Controllers simultaneously face off against two Seeds?

The chances are too slim.

Chen Nuo contemplated seriously, took a deep breath, and spoke softly to Gray Cat: "Then, can we make a deal?

We will follow the plan agreed with Nolan Wizard when confronting the Octopus Monster.

Then... if there's an opportunity, I'll assist you, let you devour the Mother Clone."

Gray Cat nodded: "As long as there's even a slight possibility, I don't want to clash with you."

Chen Nuo pursed his lips: "But you can't just sit and watch us exert effort and then reap the benefits at the end, right?"

Gray Cat blinked helplessly and also made a promise:

"When necessary, I'll act; I can help you withstand the Octopus Monster."

Chen Nuo's eyes lit up: "You... are you confident? I've never seen you take action before. Can you defeat the Octopus Monster?"

Gray Cat said nothing, gave Chen Nuo a deep look, then walked away lightly, jumped onto the windowsill, and gazed at the sky outside.

Chen Nuo felt displeased, but seeing Gray Cat refuse to answer, he refrained from asking further—a situation known from past experiences when Gray Cat encountered questions it didn't want to answer, pressing it was futile.

However...

After all, they are all Seeds. Even if Gray Cat is relatively weak, it should be able to offer some resistance, right?

Gray Cat doesn't need to outright defeat the Octopus Monster; as long as the Octopus Monster falls into our trap, once the Octopus Monster and Mother Clone start fighting, Gray Cat can take the opportunity to strike.

This chance should be greater?

Although... Gray Cat has been out of the race for a long time, it might not have had any power growth for a long, long time.

While other Seeds have been constantly seeking breakthroughs in power.

Gray Cat...

Hmm, perhaps Gray Cat is like the Son of the Sun.

The weakest of its level?
