Yama Reborn-Chapter 544 - 541: The Octopus Monster’s Attitude

Chapter 541 [The Stance of the Octopus Monster]

"So... Sun Keke is actually Yun Yin."

Chen Nuo frowned tightly, looking at the brain in the container: "But Yun Yin’s soul is already dead."

"Where did you get this ’Yun Yin’s soul’ business? There has always only been one soul; Yun Yin’s memories were just sealed by me. Later, when the time came, the alarm clock went off, and Yun Yin’s memories revived." Zero answered unhurriedly.

"Then what is Sun Keke’s current condition?"

"It’s fused."

"Fused?"

"In terms of personality, the main part is still Sun Keke, but it has fused with parts of Yun Yin’s personality. As for which aspects have fused, I haven’t seen the fused Sun Keke, so I don’t know.

However, the memories have definitely been inherited in full.

It’s quite bizarre, thinking about it, a girl not even twenty suddenly inheriting the memories of a Yun Yin over two hundred years old.

The personality was already partially fused with Yun Yin’s parts, and with these over two hundred years of memories, it will surely further influence Sun Keke’s character and personality."

Chen Nuo gave a cold, furious laugh: "So, you really did manipulate me deeply!

The two women I loved, one is Lu Xixi, whom you stuffed into Yun Yin’s body, transforming into the current Star Sky Empress.

The other, Sun Keke... is actually just Yun Yin, who lost her body. Her soul was placed into the body of a dead female infant, growing into the present Sun Keke!"

"I told you, I indirectly saved their lives. Oh, right, there’s also Mr. Sun, whose child would originally die at childbirth as a stillborn. I’m the one who gave their family a healthy daughter, allowing them to enjoy years of family happiness.

See, I’ve benefited a lot of people."

Chen Nuo sneered.

Thinking carefully, this timeline, the people around him, were made a mess by Zero!

If it weren’t for Zero’s manipulations,

Lu Xixi would now be an English girl, an ordinary person.

And Yun Yin (Sun Keke) should be a being possessing top Controller level strength, with her physical body looking like the current Star Sky Empress.

And Old Sun... probably wouldn’t have a daughter. There shouldn’t be a girl named Sun Keke in this world.

"So, let’s talk about cooperation. You said we should meet, how are we supposed to meet?" Chen Nuo asked coldly.

"That Octopus Monster must have already proposed cooperation to you... you might as well agree. As for what comes next, you’ll naturally know... Once you have enough power, you’ll be able to activate the Time Ability, and then... go back in time to meet me. You’ve already used the trap set up by Chen Jianshe and the contingency left by him to seize Chen Jianshe’s Time Ability. It’s just that for this ability to mature, you need enough power for it to grow."

"Bah! I don’t believe it! Chen Jianshe was much weaker than me, yet he could use the Time Ability with ease?"

"That’s because Chen Jianshe’s Time Ability was given by me and is incomplete. He could only repeatedly jump through time in the short term, but he couldn’t handle longer time scales. To meet me, you’d need to jump a time span measured in years.

So, keep at it, young man."

Chen Nuo gritted his teeth: "If I do ever meet you again, and my ability is enough to use the Time Ability... then in facing you, what advantage do you have? I’ll definitely give you a good beating first! Might even kill you!"

"Hit me if you want, I’m not afraid of you.

As for killing me... you’re overthinking. In my time domain, I can’t be killed."

Zero’s voice began to weaken, and the frequency of the electronic synthesized voice began to slow down.

"Alright, time is almost up. I’ve shown enough sincerity in this call, Mr. Chen Nuo! Next, cooperate with the Octopus Monster, and you will have the day you meet me."

The electronic synthesized voice disappeared.

A red alert warning popped up on a screen on the console.

"Cultivation target vitality decreased... dead!"

Chen Nuo stared at the screen for a full minute, finally taking a deep breath, slowly walking toward the door, but suddenly turned back, casting one last look at the glass container, at the brain immersed in the liquid connected by various wires.

With a wave of Chen Nuo’s hand, the glass container shattered, and countless Telekinesis Cuts sliced the brain into pieces.

The door opened automatically, and Chen Nuo walked out.

A moment later, Chen Nuo emerged from the elevator and returned to the surface of the dam. He walked to Nolan, who was standing by the car smoking a cigarette.

"All done? Want a cigarette?" Nolan extended a pack of Marlboro.

Chen Nuo glanced at it and shook his head: "I can’t get used to your cigarettes."

Nolan lit one for himself, taking a deep drag: "You don’t need to tell me anything, Kamisou Ichiro didn’t tell me the specifics of tonight’s events, so I won’t ask.

"I wasn’t planning to tell you anything." Chen Nuo shook his head, giving Nolan a glance before suddenly cracking a smile: "I actually really want to punch you, after all... during Spring Festival, you went to Jinling, trying to ambush my family."

Nolan chuckled: "Whenever you feel like taking a shot at me, just let me know, I can deliver myself to you for a beating."

"So obedient, huh? Looks like the Octopus Monster has thoroughly tamed you."

Nolan seemed utterly unperturbed, slowly replying: "Whatever, I really don’t care now."

Chen Nuo frowned.

In his perception, Nolan was supposed to be an extremely arrogant person, and also one with a rebellious nature.

Someone unwilling to yield to the Seeds... yet now it seems...

"I heard from Vanel that you once told them that you’d fight against the Seeds, even if it meant death, that you weren’t afraid of death."

Nolan’s eye twitched, and he turned to look at Chen Nuo.

This man’s gaze was very peculiar; he slowly threw the cigarette to the ground, crushed it, then said softly: "That was the past, now, I’m afraid."

"Afraid of dying?"

"No, death isn’t scary, I’m not afraid of dying." Nolan shook his head: "What’s scary is falling into the hands of the Seeds, where even the right to die is taken from you, where you can’t even die if you want to."

Nolan lowered his eyelids: "Humans can’t defeat the Seeds."

"..." Chen Nuo silently watched Nolan for a long time.

He turned around: "Tell the Octopus Monster I’ll temporarily agree to his terms, let me know ahead of time when things are set to move.

Now... arrange a plane, I want to go back."

Nolan smiled: "Going back to New York? What kind of program do you want me to arrange for you tonight? Do you like a certain celebrity? Or..."

Chen Nuo looked emotionless: "No, when I say go back, I mean send me home."

Sighing, Chen Nuo patted Nolan on the shoulder: "You’ve probably experienced it firsthand by now, my wife... hits really hard."

Chen Nuo made no effort to hide his disdain for the Octopus Monster.

He didn’t want to hide it, nor could he.

This disgust didn’t stem from being on opposing sides, nor even from the Octopus Monster having manipulated him.

This disgust, fundamentally, had nothing to do with Chen Nuo being a Special Ability User or not.

This disgust was the revulsion and rejection as a human being towards an alien life form that manipulates the human world.

Chen Nuo naturally loathed M Country.

But dislike aside, at least M Country is part of human civilization.

Yet witnessing the most powerful civilization on this planet being toyed with by the Octopus Monster like a plaything, able to be manipulated at will, as a human, it’s hard not to resist or feel repelled by it.

On this point, Chen Nuo’s disdain for the Octopus Monster even surpasses his hatred for The Fourth Seed!

The Fourth Seed at least obediently hides in the shadows, not turning itself into an emperor and treating a human country like a toy, to be manipulated indiscriminately. Chen Nuo’s animosity with The Fourth Seed falls within the realm of "personal vendetta."

Seed is even more out of the picture.

The Gray Cat, at most, obediently acts as a pet, cautiously.

While the Octopus Monster, with its air of being a superior lifeform looking down upon lesser beings, treating a powerful human civilization as something to be excessively manipulated, from a high vantage point... The President is a toy, power is a toy, the system is a toy, everything is a toy, to be erased or manipulated at whim.

Humans are toys!

This stance elicits deep-seated resistance and displeasure from Chen Nuo.
