Yama Reborn-Chapter 593 - 590: Pollution

Sword of Killing Intent!

A deadly poison against Spiritual Life Forms! Negative Emotion Poison!!

Yun He, a once-in-a-lifetime genius among humans, created his unique move: Sword of Killing Intent!

The Sword of Killing Intent is a genius creation, but to say how strong it is... actually isn't easy.

This thing is a move forged from a fervent killing intent, and this unique move, perhaps for human opponents, is merely a...

Frenzied Berserker effect.

But, the beauty lies in the fact that extreme killing intent equals extreme negative emotions, and this particular essence becomes a targeted deadly poison for the Mother and Spiritual Life Forms!

For instance, if you use the Sword of Killing Intent on a Wizard, a top-tier Spiritual expert, who has strong resistance, this ultimate move may not be so deadly; they might withstand several rounds.

But if you use this move on the Mother, it would explode instantaneously.

·

Chen Nuo remembered clearly, when he first obtained the Sword of Killing Intent, it contained a strand of Yun He's memory inheritance, which depicted the scene from the great battle in Africa against the Mother!

Within it, there was a white warrior clad in full armor, named Baroque, who fought in a way similar to a silver holy light—his fighting style like a tank. He used the silver glow to resist the Mother's attacks directly, buying time for his companions.

And Corot... Corot's ancestor, was an archer, akin to a remote damage dealer.

The most critical was Yun He.

Baroque, as the tank, took on the Mother Clone's attacks head-on, while Corot's ancestor distracted the Mother with long-range attacks.

The two collaborated to gain time and opportunity for Yun He.

Finally, Yun He unleashed the Sword of Killing Intent.

Destroying the Mother Clone!

·

Chen Nuo suddenly understood.

What is it like?

Their biological mother (the Mother) prepared a nutritious drink (Mother Clone) for their own child (the Seed), something immensely enhancing upon consumption.

Yet Yun He rushed over and tossed a poison pellet into the cup disregarding everything.

And then...

No one could drink it anymore!

·

Chen Nuo's expression turned a bit strange as he watched the Gray Cat raise a single claw: "Since there's a first, there must be a second. Is there any other information?"

The Gray Cat shook its head and said, "What follows are speculations."

It finally raised another claw slowly: "In that great battle, the Mother Clone was destroyed by the Sword of Killing Intent—or rather, was it destroyed? Based on the Mother's pattern, after a Nutrient Pack is released, another will inevitably be deployed periodically.

We do not know when this deployment pattern will end, but it's predictable that as long as the Mother doesn't perish, it will continue deploying.

After all, pursuing the path of evolution is the ultimate goal of the Mother."

Chen Nuo contemplated: "So, another Mother has appeared this time?"

The Gray Cat nodded: "Actually, it's not that another has appeared, but rather..."

The Gray Cat paused in thought, then rephrased: "The previous African Mother, instead of being exterminated, it was polluted.

Polluted water is undrinkable, do you understand this concept?

After the Mother Clone was polluted, it did not die, but became inedible, then fell into slumber."

Chen Nuo's eyes lit up: "So, you mean the African Mother Clone from three hundred years ago, didn't die but was polluted and fell into slumber!"

"Yes."

"Then, now..."

The Gray Cat explained patiently, "A Mother Clone is by no means stagnant; it has life, with the Mother's intention and consciousness, it is living.

If something gets polluted, if it's a glass of water, the water doesn't know how to cleanse itself.

But if a person is contaminated with bacteria, they will seek a solution to the illness. If they are dirty, they will take a bath.

The polluted Mother Clone will find a way to clean this pollution. Expel the negative emotion toxins that were injected."

"How to expel?" Chen Nuo immediately questioned.

The Gray Cat shook its head: "It's hard to say, there always are methods. But… the Mother Clone that is polluted and weakened would ultimately hide itself, just like a Seed that is injured would find a place to hide. The Mother Clone of such level would certainly not remain in place waiting to die, so..."

Chen Nuo finally exhaled. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Understood.

So, the Mother Clone in Africa now is the same from three hundred years ago which was polluted after the battle, weakened, found another place to hide while healing and attempting to expel the negative emotion poison within it.

"Then why is the Octopus Monster coming here, because it knows that this Mother is almost resolving the pollution issue, wanting to come over and reabsorb this Nutrient Pack?" Chen Nuo stroked his chin: "Seems reasonable, but…"

He looked at the Gray Cat, sneering: "Why did you come here? Do you also want to absorb this Nutrient Pack?"

The Gray Cat shook its head: "I have no intention of reentering the competition, but if a crisis arises, I will not sit idly by. We all felt that the Seed is about to win, so this Mother Clone is everyone's last chance.

Whether it's I or the Octopus Monster, absorbing this Nutrient Pack may change the competitive landscape again."

Chen Nuo had some doubts in his eyes but looked at Corot: "After hearing so much, I still have one concern, which is Mister Corot here.

Why did you bring him along?"

The Gray Cat spread its claws: "A human radar, so to speak."

Human radar? Before Chen Nuo could ask, the Gray Cat voluntarily explained:

"Corot's ancestor, having fought against the Mother Clone in Africa — any human who has encountered the Mother will bear the energy imprint of the Mother, and the Life Energy of the Mother will leave an imprint on this person's mental consciousness.

Although Corot died three hundred years ago, the soul device of their family left behind a sliver of Corot's consciousness remnants, and these remnants absorbed by Corot's descendants, thus Corot's lineage has retained the life imprint of the Mother Clone.

This imprint, as the years pass, as the bloodline thins, gradually fades away.

But at least at Corot's current generation, there's still a hint left.

Finding the Mother is not easy, and Corot is the only realistic candidate by my side who had past contacts with the Mother.

Of course, Chen Nuo, in terms of contact degree with the Mother, you're more suitable, your imprint is more prominent.

However... I didn't want to bring you here."

Chen Nuo nodded.

I am the Chosen One of the Seed, this kind of snatching Nutrient Packs, with an end goal to confront the Seed — the Gray Cat certainly wouldn't want to bring me.

Then...

The Gray Cat scratched its head, helplessly said: "Right now, I'm also quite puzzled. I completely didn't expect to encounter you in Africa.

And what confuses me most is why the Octopus Monster wanted to bring you along?"

·

As the matter reached this point, most of the mystery clouds had by now dissipated.

Although a few doubts remain, it seems the Gray Cat could not explain them.

For instance, the biggest doubt evident on the surface is:

Why did the Octopus Monster insist on bringing Chen Nuo over?

It even cost the Octopus Monster substantially, showing considerable sincerity, in requesting Chen Nuo to join this action.

Such behavior is quite suspicious.

Moreover, from current perspectives, it probably harbors ill intent, emitting a vaguely dangerous aura.

And Chen Nuo himself had some guesses regarding another matter.

It is… how a Mother Clone polluted by [Negative Emotions] cleans its own pollution!

·

Chen Nuo harbors a suspicion!

The suspicion's answer is: Pengpeng!

·

The vast majority of people in this world have a very familiar experience.

Which is that occasionally eating something unclean, will inevitably lead to diarrhea.

In a way, diarrhea is your digestive system's self-protection.

After consuming something dirty, accelerating excretion, promptly clearing out the dirty stuff.

·

So, Pengpeng...

```

·

After interacting with Pengpeng, Chen Nuo couldn't see a trace of human brilliance in someone like Pengpeng.

Arrogant, conceited, greedy, selfish, cruel, and even shameless.

To satisfy his arrogance and conceit, he styled himself as the local god.

To fulfill his own desires, he showed no hesitation in raising the butcher's knife, brutally slowing down the peace process of this war-torn African country. For decades, this nation had several chances to truly unite and end the chaotic conflicts, but he mercilessly shattered those hopes.

Breaking the peace process of this nation, plunging it into endless division and warfare for decades.

How many people would die in decades of war?

That number alone, if thought about deeply, would make one's hair stand on end.

And yet, Pengpeng, as the main culprit, doesn't feel even a shred of remorse.

·

"So... a container for excrement?" Chen Nuo mused, touching his chin.

·

Chen Nuo had no intention of falling out with Gray Cat.

Even though this guy always hides a lot of information. But at least at present, among several Seeds, except for Seed, Gray Cat is the most friendly to him.

His instructor always said to make as many friends as possible.

Since Gray Cat hasn't stood against him, Chen Nuo finds no need to fall out with him.

However...

In the middle of the night, Chen Nuo's bedroom door opened and a hand reached out, throwing the chubby Gray Cat out into the hallway!

Gray Cat let out a sharp scream, rolled on the ground, and then helplessly got up, staring at the door which was slammed shut with a bang.

Gray Cat sighed, crawled over, pressing its body against the door, and seemed to breathe in faintly.

Chen Nuo was quite frustrated.

This guy was getting out of hand.

He didn't hold it accountable for stealing Corot and sneaking to Africa.

Yet it sneaked into the room he shared with Lu Xixi in the middle of the night, even attempting to climb into bed to sleep next to them.

It wanted to absorb more of the energy emitted by strong entities.

·

The next day, starting in the morning, Gray Cat repeatedly tried to persuade and convince Chen Nuo, hoping he would back out of the Octopus Monster operation, leave immediately, and return to Huaxia Jinling.

Chen Nuo understood what Gray Cat meant...

The Octopus Monster and Gray Cat were both Seeds seeking the Mother Clone here, vying for the Nutrient Pack.

In such matters, there really was no necessity for him to get involved—maybe the Fourth Seed was lurking somewhere, ready to make a move when the time was right, being the mantis stalked by the oriole.

No one could say for sure.

And him, being Seed's Chosen One, a human.

Staying here really had no essential purpose.

Maybe even involved unknown risks.

Chen Nuo also felt that Gray Cat's advice wasn't unreasonable, it made a lot of sense.

But...

For some unknown reason, there was a vague notion in Chen Nuo's mind, making him unwilling to leave.

And after thinking it over, the primary cause of that notion was the doubt he had.

Why did the Octopus Monster go through so much trouble to bring him here?

·

Furthermore!

Back then, the memory left by Zero told him to comply with the Octopus Monster's demands.

Eventually, this would lead to an opportunity to meet Zero again!

·

Thus, Chen Nuo decided: not to leave!

To stay here!

Instead, Chen Nuo began to constantly harass Gray Cat.

"You've been in Africa for such a long time, so you must have already found the location of the Mother Clone!"

Gray Cat, of course, denied it.

However, Chen Nuo then started interrogating—or rather, examining Corot.

Corot now was like a tiger fallen in the plains, bullied by Chen Xiaoguo.

The once mighty Controller had now turned into an ordinary person, a sort of half-human, half-pig.

But the interrogation of Corot yielded little result too.

Because from Corot's account, it had just been roaming all over Africa with Gray Cat, seeming like a refugee on the run, going around aimlessly.

The only suspicious point was that Corot confessed to staying overnight in the Capital City, where Gray Cat disappeared for a whole day and night.

So...

Is the Mother Clone in this African country's capital city?

Yet Chen Nuo felt something seemed off.

Because if that were the case, the answer would be too straightforward.

If the Mother Clone were in the Capital City...

The Octopus Monster would have found it long ago!

Given its deep cooperation with the national government, the Octopus Monster must have been to the Capital City.

If the Mother Clone were in the Capital City, it couldn't have been kept from the Octopus Monster.

Chen Nuo was too lazy to guess, directly grabbing Gray Cat for questioning.

"The day you and Corot stayed in the Capital City, that night you disappeared; where did you go, and what did you do on that day?"

When questioned, Gray Cat received far better treatment than Corot.

While Corot was being interrogated by Chen Nuo and Lu Xixi, it was locked in a room with two powerful Controllers exuding killing intent; Lu Xixi even wielded a Lightning Whip.

But when Gray Cat was questioned, it lay comfortably on a sofa, with a cup of juice nearby and a long straw that extended from the cup to Gray Cat's mouth.

"That night, I was just too hungry and went to find something to eat."

To eat?

Chen Nuo immediately reacted: "In the Capital... is there a strong entity present?"

"A strong human woman, that poor creature known as the Diamond Queen," Gray Cat shook its head, "When I arrived in that city, I sensed there was a Controller in that place.

I'd been out and about for so long without absorbing high-level Life Element energy, so when I found someone who could provide sustenance, of course, I had to go and have a feast.

But when I found her... her state was too tragic."

Tragic? Chen Nuo looked at Gray Cat curiously.

Gray Cat pondered: "To be precise, when I found her, she was, in a sense, already dead."

Wait a moment!

Chen Nuo immediately realized something was amiss.

"What do you mean, in a sense, dead? Dead is dead, alive is alive!"

Gray Cat shook its head and said: "From the standpoint of your human physiology, her body was still being maintained by medical instruments, showing some vital signs.

But from our perspective, she's already dead.

Her consciousness space has already disappeared."

A vegetative state?

No, not a vegetative state.

People in vegetative states have consciousness but can't communicate with the outside world.

Gray Cat's meaning, Chen Nuo understood.

A living dead.

To put it crudely, it's like the soul has been extinguished, leaving just a shell that struggles to draw breath but hasn't entirely stopped.
