I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Of course, if you can meet in person, you should say sorry first.

Acacia's eyes slowly closed, and a spatial vortex appeared behind his soul. Without any resistance, he was directly sent into the world of Gourmet's Prisoner of Souls by Reiji.

The man who left a profound mark on the world of Gourmet Delight has passed away.

I wonder if he will meet his wife in that other world.

P.S.: Please vote and recommend! Two chapters were blocked and I'm working hard to revise them, so I'm only offering a 10,000-word update for now. I'm truly sorry for any inconvenience this might cause...

Chapter Sixty-Three: Correcting NEO, the Water of the Origin of Life

Seeing that only Acacia's soulless corpse remained at the scene, Reiji silently burned it all to ashes.

Then, looking around at the ingredients in the inner universe that were comparable to countless galaxies, a satisfied and happy smile appeared on Razer's face.

This operation was incredibly successful, yielding an amount of ingredients comparable to the total quantity of multiple universes, and the high-end ingredients in the Cyan Universe were even more abundant than those on Earth.

When NEO spat out the food, Xiao Sheng and Kirby also caught a Perfect Elephant-END Mammoth based on their senses, with a capture level of 1200.

This is an elephant that existed in the past but has become extinct.

Legend has it that ancient hunters who ate this elephant meat, a delicacy, decided to abandon their hunting careers because it was so delicious.

Moreover, there is not just one such elephant in NEO, but a whole group of them.

Over time, these elephants mature further, and their flavor increases even more.

"Let's go outside first, I'll deal with this elephant for you." Reiji, who was carrying NEO, called out to Xiaosheng and Kirby.

Then the group grabbed a perfect elephant and left Reiji's inner universe. Of course, the massive amount of food available there also provided them with a habitat through Reiji's thoughts.

Whether it's a single meal to be full or every meal to be full, everyone understands this principle, and these ingredients naturally need to be preserved and raised.

Back in the real universe, Rezhe glanced at the trembling, skinny NEO in his hands, tossed him to Kirby to look after, and then went to prepare the ingredients.

Kirby stared blankly at the skinny little guy in front of him, feeling sorry for him, and then took the initiative to talk to NEO.

Seeing that the guy in front of him had no intention of hurting him, NEO sincerely began to communicate with Kirby.

Watching the adorable Kirby and the skinny, silly NEO interacting, Xiao Sheng felt that this creature that had devoured countless lives could still be saved.

NEO was always hungry, aimlessly eating anything alive, but never experiencing true deliciousness.

It devours everything, yet it is never satisfied with itself.

The kind of despair the other party mentioned was delicious, and Reiji also had a way to correct this guy with such a terrible habit.

Reiji took out all the legendary cooking utensils and began to remove a lot of flesh from the still-living Wanxiang without harming its life, before throwing it back into his inner universe.

Later, out of curiosity, Razer took some blue cosmic ingredients to use as seasonings and flavorings in his cooking.

As for the ingredients for the Acacia Life Menu, Reiji won't use them all at once. He can use them as wedding dishes when he returns to the main world and marries Xiaoyou and Xiaosheng.

Soon, under Lei Zhe's wholehearted cooking, a dazzling seven-colored culinary light burst forth from the large pot.

Legend has it that food prepared using these cooking utensils can grant immortality, but whether it will actually make one immortal remains unknown.

In Lei Zhe's view, it's more accurate to say that it allows ingredients to be elevated to their fullest potential.

Generally, when ingredients on Earth are cooked with the eight legendary kitchen utensils, the food is transformed into something akin to a divine medicine, naturally extending human life.

After the perfect image underwent a sublime evolution, a wave of energy, belonging to top-tier ingredients and causing culinary cells to tremble, instantly spread throughout the world.

The incomparably terrifying aroma caused all the creatures on the First Continent to open their eyes wide, and their mouths drooled as if a dam had collapsed.

Countless ferocious beasts with capture levels of over a thousand were attracted by this outrageously delicious aroma.

"This...this familiar feeling that's almost out of control...is it...Mr. Raiji!?!"

Anyone with a strong sense of smell on this entire food planet can feel this sensation that excites and stimulates the cells of the food world.

While in the human world, Toriko had a conflict with the Gourmet Association. Having just tasted the Jewel Flesh, Toriko was trembling violently. Although he couldn't smell anything, his mouth was automatically producing saliva.

His body had deeply memorized this outrageous, out-of-control feeling. Although Toriko didn't smell any fragrance, his body's sensations were unmistakable.

Besides the somewhat agitated red demon deep within him, the blue demon, who had been dormant, also awakened, and it seemed rather unbelievable.

He could actually sense the ingredients and dishes from the blue universe, but... weren't they completely extinct?

"Oh? This doesn't feel like ingredients, it feels like a fully-cooked dish. It's actually from the culinary world?"

The two strongest beings in the human world, Ichiryu and Jiro, and even the three tigers of the Gourmet Association, all raised their eyebrows slightly and looked towards the direction of the number one continent in the culinary world.

Their sensitive noses could detect this outrageous aroma from thousands of miles away, and out of curiosity, Ichiryu and Jiro rushed towards the culinary world.

Sanhu, who was very interested in this level of culinary skills, smiled and followed along.

Meanwhile, Reiji sensed a large number of ferocious beasts rushing towards them, including the king of this continent, the Dragon King Dirous.

The ingredients that Razer produces have a fatal attraction for gourmets, signifying a higher level of evolution in a completely new direction.

"Roar--!"

Before Lei Zhe and Xiao Sheng could react in silence, a roar suddenly came from the sky, and a huge shadow seemed to obscure the sky as it fell downwards.

The descending dragon king Dilous let out a proud roar at Reiji, but his eyes were fixed on the dish Reiji had just cooked.

This is the Dragon King Dilous. He has a huge mouth but only one sharp and hard tooth, and finally, countless tiny long tongues.

The immense aura of the Dragon King, one of the Eight Kings, intimidated the other ferocious beasts that wanted to enjoy its food.

Dragon King Dilous roared and charged toward Reiji, seemingly intending to steal Reiji's food and also eat these humans along with it.

"I didn't mean to hurt you, but you've gotten too big for your britches!?!"

Lei Zhe glared fiercely at the giant lizard that was trying to disturb his and Xiao Sheng's meal and even tried to snatch it away.

A terrifying surge of murderous intent materialized into a high-quality impact, instantly creating a sense of time and space freezing and collapsing, causing a violent earthquake throughout the entire solar system.

Those who were curious and wanted to explore the First Continent also felt a murderous intent that made their souls tremble.

What terrifying killing intent this is!?

Before their eyes, it was as if a future where they would turn into dust and die was truly unfolding. The pitiful and powerless despair, like that of a lowly insect, made everyone break out in a cold sweat, their pupils dilate, and they gasp for breath.

The Dragon King Dilous, standing before Reiji, had his soul shattered at Reiji's deliberate hands.

The mangled body stared wide-eyed before collapsing limply not far from Reizhe.

"Hmph! This is an unexpected bonus. I'll try to deal with the Dragon King when I have the chance." Lei Zhe suppressed his killing intent and snorted coldly. He then stored the Dragon King's body in the folded space of the Spirit Treasury.

This legendary kitchen utensil, used for sealing and preservation, is similar to a refrigerator and is specifically designed to keep food fresh.

The enormous folded space inside could easily preserve the Dragon King's massive body.

"Little Saint, let's eat."

"Ah."

The prepared elephant meat dish was placed on a plate and handed to Xiao Sheng. Rei Zhe also prepared utensils for Kirby and let them eat.

As for the skinny NEO, Raiji added some Senzu Beans to the dishes he made for it so that it could truly experience deliciousness and satiety.

NEO stared blankly at the dishes on the table, which exuded a rich aroma and shimmered with colorful light.

It truly never expected that Razer would cook for it, and this was the first time in its life that it had received food as a gift from someone else.

For some reason, NEO's white, hole-like eyes began to distort irregularly, and tears welled up as if he were about to cry.

NEO, who had never tasted anything truly delicious before, raised his hands to pick up the utensils and put the delicious elephant meat dish into his mouth. He felt the highest happiness at this moment.

Moreover, my stomach, which had been constantly hungry, had also changed a bit; it seemed to have gained some weight.

With tears welling in his eyes, NEO ate his meal with relish, enjoying the unprecedented deliciousness and the feeling of gradually filling his stomach.

"Pooli pooli pooli~~~~ (You must be a good child from now on. If you're a good child, Zhe will cook for you.)"

Seeing how happily this starving guy was eating, wolfing down his food as if he'd never had anything good before, Kirby tilted his head and said something to him.

Then, under NEO's curious gaze, he took out a small piece of light from his own body and handed it to NEO.

After NEO, whose mouth was greasy from eating, reached out and took the luminous orb, it immediately merged into his body.

"------!"

NEO's eyes widened instantly. Its senses detected countless delicious food memories being absorbed into its body—the food memories of the pink ball in front of it.

Seeing NEO's pitiful state, Kirby shared some of his food memories with it.

NEO stared blankly at Kirby eating. All those billions of years of constantly scavenging for food felt less meaningful than today.

This was the first time someone had shared food with me, and the delicious taste was something I had never experienced before.

Seeing this, Lei Zhe and Xiao Sheng, who were enjoying their meal, also showed relieved smiles.

NEO can be Kirby's food buddy and playmate, and can also be a guardian beast in Reiji's own world.

.........

After defeating Acacia, NEO, and the Dragon King DeLores, Reiji and Saint, along with NEO who had reformed and become Kirby's little brother and friend, arrived at a cave guarded by the Dragon King.

This place is littered with bones, and there's a clear pool of water inside. That's the drink center, with a capture level of 10000.

"This is the center of the water that is the origin of life."

Taking a deep breath of the enchanting fragrance in the air, Lei Zhe squinted at the pool of water. This was the legendary top-grade ingredient with the mysterious power to revive the dead.

Reiji and Xiaosheng took out their storage equipment and began installing the CENTER. According to information they had received from Acacia, the so-called "healer" was just a diluted version of the CENTER.

To obtain the CENTER, one must defeat the Dragon King Dilous, who is acting as its guardian. Originally, the Dragon King only intended to take the CENTER without killing it, but the Dragon King brought this upon himself, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

However, they'll get a beating sooner or later. Killing them outright will save us the trouble of fighting again. After the king of the First Continent dies, another king will surely be born.

Using his Heavenly Eye, Rai Zhe observed how this Delicious Earth came to be, and after analyzing its essence, he planned to create one in his inner universe.

"Alright, that's enough."

After setting up the CENTER, Lei Zhe and Xiao Sheng couldn't resist taking a taste. The feeling of life regeneration after tasting this source of life made them seem even more vibrant.

Xiao Sheng's fair skin seemed to reflect a crystal-clear glow. The snow-white cream and the indescribable, exquisite touch of silk made Xiao Sheng's delicate body seem like the most beautiful treasure.

Normally, drinking CENTER would cause all the hair on their bodies to fall out and then quickly regrow, but because Lei Zhe and Xiao Sheng's life levels seemed to be too high, that phenomenon did not occur.

Lei Zhe reached out and touched his own hair, then touched Xiao Sheng's hair, and immediately felt that the texture was incredibly nice.

Thinking back to the time a while ago when Xiao Sheng was lying on top of me, holding my soft, smooth hair to him... cough cough!
