Chapter 1596 Card's Style of Action
"Holy crap, the 'Eight-Handed Butcher' is actually your uncle... Is he your cousin? Or your maternal uncle?"
After hearing Hannah's words, Chen Le, the "fisherman," could be described as "respectful" towards the little pink octopus.
After glancing at Lin Yu and getting his consent, Hannah directly told Chen Le the answer.
“He is indeed my maternal uncle… Uncle Ka Liu and my mother are siblings.”
Upon hearing Hannah's words, Chen Le exclaimed in admiration, "She's actually a direct blood relative of the 'Chosen One'... That's amazing!"
“‘Zhu Ming’… With such a powerful summon, it seems we’re mostly safe this time,” Chen Le said, becoming more optimistic. “Even if ‘The Diviner’ is setting up a trap for me, we don’t need to worry too much.”
Although Lin Yu knew that the 'Diviner' had not made any plans targeting the 'Fisherman' at all, he was still somewhat puzzled by Chen Le's optimism.
"I don't think we can be this relaxed and optimistic..."
Chen Le looked at Lin Yu with some surprise: "Don't you know what the 'Eight-Handed Butcher's' niece means in the Pure Ruins Realm?"
When Lin Yu heard Chen Le say this, he realized that he did indeed have some misunderstandings.
He asked, "I know that Hannah's uncle is that 'Chosen One,' and he seems to be the type who has much more freedom of movement than other Chosen Ones... But even so, the Pure Ruins Realm still has a complex array of forces and experts. We can't just sit back and relax, can we?"
Lin Yu voiced his true doubts.
Yes, he knew Ka—Ka was the chosen one, and almost unrestricted by the world's will. Lin Yu had even seen Ka make a move—that powerful shadow-like pseudo-human was nothing more than fresh food that Ka could easily dispose of with a swift stroke.
Even though it might have the help and blessing of the "God of Feasts," the "Shadow Pseudo-Man" directly pulled from the "Eternal Cage" might not have much ability to resist...
Ke Linyu still remembers the scene at that time—he still believes that Ka must have indeed "instantly killed" that fake man with his own strength.
However, despite Lin Yu's recognition of Ka's strength, he still did not believe that having Ka as a connection would allow him to rest easy in the Pure Ruins Realm.
Hannah nodded: "Quack, yeah... Although Uncle Ka seems very powerful, he's not invincible."
Chen Le looked somewhat confused after hearing Hannah and Lin Yu's words.
He seemed to be caught in self-doubt, but quickly shook his head.
“Ms. Hannah, I don’t know what your uncle told you that led you to some misconceptions, and even caused Zhu Ming to make some wrong judgments,” Chen Le sighed, “that Octopus Chosen is strong, but his individual strength is not to the point that I am amazed… However, Mr. Ka’s strength is not limited to that.”
"Actually, compared to the more widely known and frequently used nickname 'Eight-Handed Butcher,' the one that truly reflects 'Ka's' strength is his other codename—'King of the Deep Sea'!"
Chen Le said earnestly.
Lin Yu seemed to realize something: "You mean... Ka is not only very strong himself, but his influence is also very powerful, right?"
Chen Le nodded: "That's right—because I once accidentally caught a sea monster from the Middle Sea. We chatted for a long time after we met, so I've heard about the Middle Sea's scale."
At this point, Chen Le raised a finger and said seriously, "In the Middle Sea, the octopus clan regards Ka as their supreme leader because of his divine status—I think I'm right, Miss Hannah?"
Chen Le asked Hannah earnestly.
Hannah recalled for a moment and slowly nodded: "Quack...it seems like there was such a thing."
"Although my mother and aunts didn't care much about Uncle Six, often teased him and ordered him around, the other members of the clan, apart from my mother and aunts, seemed to respect Uncle Six. Even the other uncles would take Uncle Six as their leader and completely follow his instructions in many important matters."
Hannah recalled.
“Quack! Yes, although there is no hierarchy or organizational structure within the sea beast race, and no so-called patriarch or leader, but... as the ‘chosen one,’ Ka has truly earned everyone’s heartfelt respect—mainly because of his superb culinary skills and strength, rather than his status as the chosen one.”
"And with his equally outstanding operational capabilities, this influence quickly spread to other sea monster groups... Currently, all the sea monsters in the Middle Sea, whether multi-armed, carapace-shelled, fine-scaled, or spiracular, without exception, recognize Card's identity."
Hannah seemed to remember something and said, "Quack! Yes, yes... Besides cooking in the God's banquet hall, Uncle Ka's main job is to mediate between various tribes."
Chen Le said leisurely, "It's not as simple as 'mediation'... In the Central Sea, the 'King of the Deep Sea' has the right to decide who is the head chef, who is the sous chef, who is the apprentice, who is the diner... and who is the ingredient and food."
"Although the gods did not grant him such power, he accomplished it on his own—and was not opposed by the gods."
Hearing Chen Le's words, Lin Yu was somewhat shocked.
Even though he had already estimated the strength of "Ka," the chosen one, to be as high as possible, Lin Yu realized after hearing Chen Le's words that he was still somewhat conservative.
That octopus chef, the chosen one of the God of Banquets, may have a greater influence in the Pure Ruins Realm than he imagined!
Although the scope was limited to the "Central Sea"... as the most core and closest area to the gods in the entire Pure Ruins Realm, the "Central Sea" meant that anyone who could conquer the Central Sea would indeed have the entire Pure Ruins Realm within their grasp.
even……
"So, Hannah, could your uncle possibly be able to mediate wars in the outer seas and get all races to back down?"
Lin Yu looked at Hannah and asked.
Hannah was also somewhat shocked: "Quack... I don't know, but Uncle Ka probably can't do that, right? Although he is very good at cooking, and according to your partner, Uncle Ka is very powerful and respected... but the Middle Sea does not interfere with the outer sea's order. It is a principle ordained by the gods and the will of the sea. It is a hidden 'rule,' but we can all feel it."
"We are the darlings of the sea, blessed by the Pure Ruins, but if we become too willful and reckless, we will squander this blessing!"
Hannah said earnestly.
Chen Le also said, "That's right, no matter how powerful an existence is, it is impossible to achieve complete 'freedom'... But then again, I think that card could force peace in the outer sea if he wanted to—it's just that he might not be willing to pay the corresponding price."
"In my opinion, it's not that he 'can't,' but that he 'doesn't want to.'"
Lin Yu nodded knowingly: "That's a bit of a pity. I originally wanted to ask him to stop all of this... After all, if it's the 'Diviner's' conspiracy, although it may not really affect us, it would be a good thing if the 'Diviner' didn't get what he wanted to do and the situation he wanted to achieve was changed."
As the saying goes... the more the enemy approves of something, the more we should oppose it.
Of course, for this very reason, Lin Yu's remark was not from the heart, but merely a requirement of playing the role of "Zhu Ming".
Because he knew very well that the current war in the Pure Ruins Realm had absolutely nothing to do with the 'diviners'; it was just a complete coincidence plus his own attempts to shift the blame.
As the one who framed him, Lin Yu certainly knew whether the "fortune teller" who was being framed was innocent!
Even if Lin Yu were given the opportunity to ask Ka to stop all the wars in the outer seas, he wouldn't speak up.
Although the fact that Jingxu is now in the midst of war is somewhat of an unintended consequence for Lin Yu, this chaotic situation does indeed make it easier for him to act and is in his best interest.
In short, after further developing the character of "Zhu Ming" and using him to further convey the message that "Zhu Ming" dislikes "fortune tellers" to "the fisherman" and even to the "Freedom Alliance," Lin Yu continued.
"But no matter what, as long as we head to the Middle Sea and can find Ka and the Octopus Clan with Hannah's help, the rest of the process should go smoothly—maybe we can even get your uncle to help us find the 'Nine Treasures of the Pure Ruins'."
As Lin Yu spoke, Hannah pondered for a moment and said, "Quack... Well, boss, based on my understanding of my uncle, although he won't refuse, he probably won't agree unconditionally either!"
Lin Yu asked curiously, "Why is that?"
Hannah didn't answer immediately, but Chen Le spoke up quietly: "Because he is the 'King of the Deep Sea,' the 'Chosen One'... so he has to consider more than just his own likes and dislikes when he does things."
“Even if you are very close to his niece, he will still prioritize the ‘optimal solution’ and ‘interests’ in his actions—his own interests, the interests of the gods he serves, the interests of the octopus, the interests of the multi-armed creatures, the interests of the sea beasts, and the interests of the entire Pure Ruins Realm.”
"So... do you think a chosen one born and raised in the Pure Ruins Realm would want me to take away the 'Nine Treasures of the Pure Ruins' just to open my own 'Heart Domain' and make myself stronger?"
As Chen Le spoke, Lin Yu immediately felt that what the other party said made a lot of sense.
This is indeed a blind spot in his thinking.
"That makes sense... So, does that mean we actually need to avoid 'Ka' and the octopus clan?"
Chen Le shook his head: "That's not necessary—after all, he shouldn't have gone to the point where he absolutely has to hunt me down."
