I was just fishing, how did I become a Great Old One?

Koprulu Sector, the deepest reaches of the void.

This is the end of the universe, a forbidden zone of light.

No stars twinkled here; only endless, viscous, ink-like dark energy slowly writhed. This darkness was not empty; it was heavy and oppressive, like the silt left over from the very beginning of the universe.

However, at this moment, this deathly silence and darkness was broken.

"Buzz——————"

A massive fleet, radiating an alluring orange-red glow (the color of hot pot) and carrying a rich aroma, forcefully sliced ​​through this frozen, rock-hard "dark butter" like a red-hot knife.

【Deep Blue Gluttony】leading the way.

Its left and right sides are guarded by the newly "converted" golden fleet.

In the very center of the fleet, the 74-kilometer-long Spear of Adun resembled a giant rolling pin, appearing even more imposing at this moment.

……

"That's...Eamon?"

Jiang Li stood at the very front of the bridge, looking at the scene ahead through the panoramic window.

At the center of that void vortex.

A giant...indescribable in words, stood tall.

He was not of flesh and blood, but a physical entity composed of the purest red void crystals and black shadow clouds. His height surpassed that of planets, and his eyes burned with the light of two collapsing red giants.

Countless void tentacles extended from his back into the rifts of various dimensions, drawing nourishment from all realms.

[BOSS: Amon, the God of Darkness.]

[Status: Awakening (99%).]

[Original Attributes: Fallen Xel'Naga / Ender of Reincarnation.]

Threat Level: Cataclysmic (originally).

[Current assessment: A premium black pig that has just woken up and has an extremely high fat (energy) content.]

……

The wrath of God.

"insect……"

Eamon's voice was no longer a whisper in his mind, but a physical sound wave that shattered space.

"You actually...seized my fleet..."

"You've ended up looking like this (reeking of hotpot)?!"

Looking at the Protoss warships that were once sacred and solemn but were now gleaming with an oily sheen, Amon felt the greatest humiliation since the beginning of his life.

He raised a giant hand large enough to crush the moon.

"Destroy! In this endless cycle of reincarnation..."

"There isn't... a table!"

"boom!!!"

As he moved, the void began to boil.

Countless shadow meteors appeared out of thin air, carrying the will to destroy everything, and crashed towards the Deep Blue Fleet.

……

"No dining table?"

Jiang Li smiled dismissively.

He unbuttoned his shirt cuffs, revealing a bracelet made of World Tree seeds on his wrist.

"Since there's no dining table."

"Then... I'll turn you into my dinner table."

Jiang Li suddenly waved his hand.

"Attention all units!"

"According to the [Annual Pig Slaughter Plan]..."

"Put it in the pot!"

……

Step 1: A trapped beast.

"Golden Fleet! Form ranks!"

Thranduil's voice came through the communication channel.

This newly awakened Protoss Executor is displaying astonishing tactical skill.

"All Void Rays! Prism Focus!"

"Construct... a hexagonal thermal energy field!"

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle————"

Thousands of Void Rays opened fire simultaneously.

But their target is not Eamon's body, but the spatial nodes around Eamon.

The red beams of light (enhanced by red oil) intertwined in the void, instantly forming a huge, enclosed six-sided pillar of light cage.

It trapped Emon's massive body tightly in the middle.

"This is……"

Amon crashed into the wall of light.

"hot!!!"

The high-temperature red oil on the light wall caused his skin, which was made of shadows, to sizzle.

"This is not a prison!"

"This is... an oven?!"

……

Step 2: Deboning.

"Ergou! Dasheng! Mohanda! Tadalin!"

Jiang Li called roll.

"High-end combat forces, step forward!"

"Go and groom that guy... tidy him up!"

"Woof!"

"Here I come!"

Four streaks of light shot out of the Gluttony.

Er Gou transformed into the Yin-Yang Devouring Hound and bit down on one of Amon's giant tentacles that he was swinging.

"Snap!"

It's like biting into sugarcane; you just bite it off.

Sun Wukong manifested the Dharma body of heaven and earth, and his golden cudgel transformed into a pillar of heaven, specifically to strike Amon's joints (energy nodes).

Mohanda and Taldarim, the "Void Twins," one black and one red, transformed into two pairs of scissors, frantically trimming the annoying shadowy clouds surrounding Amon.

"You ants!!"

Emon roared angrily.

He tried to fight back, but the bare oven severely restricted his movement.

and……

He discovered that these people who attacked him, each time they cut off a fragment of his energy, didn't throw it away, but instead... put it in their pockets (or their mouths).

That look wasn't directed at an enemy.

I'm looking at... a buffet.

……

Step 3: Fat injection (core step).

"Although it's big."

Jiang Li looked at the trapped Eamon.

"But the meat is too tough."

"It's all this hard crystal and shadow."

"The texture is too dry."

"Manual intervention is necessary."

Jiang Li turned around and looked at the huge Spear of Adun behind him.

At this moment, the Spear of Adun was filled with the Soup of Xel'Naga Reincarnation.

"Kairax!"

Jiang Li connected with the technician on the Spear of Adun.

"Is our 'big syringe' ready?"

"Ready!"

Karax's voice trembled with excitement.

"I've locked onto Amon's psionic core!"

"That's the heart, the source of all his energy!"

"very good."

Jiang Li's eyes narrowed.

"Spear of Adun! Full Speed ​​Ahead!"

"Target: Eamon's chest!"

"Pour this entire boatload of soup...into it!"

……

"You're insane! You're all insane!"

Looking at the giant ship that charged straight at us like a spear.

Emmon finally panicked.

He tried to hide, but all around him were scorching walls of light.

"No------!!"

"boom!!!"

There is no suspense.

The spear of Adun, its sharp prow reinforced by the roots of the World Tree, pierced deeply into Amon's massive chest.

It's like a toothpick piercing a grape.

Followed by.

"injection!!!"

"Glug glug glug————"

The high-pressure pumps inside the Spear of Adun are running at full speed.

Millions of tons of extra-spicy red oil and high-energy gas broth (containing the power of Orus) surged wildly into Amon's body through the wound.

……

The transformation of the gods.

"Aaaaaaaahh ...

Amon let out a piercing scream.

This is not just physical pain.

This is a fundamental distortion.

The black, psionic energy that originally flowed within him.

After encountering this domineering red oil soup base.

A violent chemical reaction actually occurred.

Black... has turned into a red and white pattern.

The hard crystal body began to soften under the influence of the high-temperature oil.

That feeling.

It's like a piece of dried-out beef that has been forcibly injected with top-grade Wagyu beef fat.

It formed a perfect...snowflake pattern.

[System notification: Ingredient optimization in progress...]

[Target: The God of Darkness.]

[Current Status: In progress of "snowflakeification"... 80%... 100%!]

[New ingredient acquired: Top-tier A5 Void Kobe Beef (with base sauce).]

……

Step 4: Reduce the sauce over high heat.

At this moment, Emmon.

He is no longer the terrifying god of darkness.

His entire body radiated a red glow, becoming translucent and translucent, interspersed with red and white, and exuding an intoxicating fragrance.

He stopped struggling.

Because his consciousness (Amon's will) had been completely overwhelmed by that will filled with "eating".

He is now...

It was just a huge piece of meat floating in the void...

"The timing is right."

Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction as he watched this scene.

"Swann!"

"Activate the Gluttony's main guns!"

"It's not for firing cannons."

"It uses that... molecular microwave beam."

"Give me... the final shape!"

"Received! Microwave heating! Maximum power!"

"Buzz——————"

A massive, invisible microwave force field enveloped Eamon.

The energy that was flowing solidified instantly.

"receive!"

Jiang Li swung Occam's razor down suddenly.

A blade of light, spanning light-years, flashed by.

Emon's enormous body was neatly cut into countless pieces.

Each piece is like a ruby ​​mountain peak.

……

The Fall of God (serves to the table).

The battle is over.

Or rather, the cooking is over.

The void that was once filled with despair has now become a huge cold storage (or rather, a deli).

Tens of thousands of pieces of [Void Divine Flesh] floated in space.

"You...you won?"

Renault, piloting his Hyperion, had just arrived at the battlefield.

He looked at the piles of flesh filling the air, and even dropped his cigar.

"We've been fighting for so many years..."

So many people sacrificed their lives...

"In the end..."

"Was it... stewed?"

"Whether it's a black cat or a white cat, a good cat is one that catches mice."

Tex laughed loudly on the communications channel.

"The same applies."

"Whether you're shot or braised."

"Anyone who's dead is a good god!"

"and……"

Tex swallowed hard.

"This god...smells so good."

……

The final farewell.

Just as everyone was cheering.

A faint, pure white light rose from the gaps between the pieces of flesh.

That was the last remnant of Orus's soul.

It is also the will of the Xel'Naga.

He looked at the starry sky.

Looking at that enormous, now nonexistent "Eamon".

"it's over."

Orus's voice was filled with relief.

"The cycle of reincarnation has been broken."

"A new era... belongs to you."

The light slowly drifted toward Kerrigan (she had been watching from the sidelines, though she hadn't really intervened, as she couldn't get involved).

"Sarah Kerrigan".

"You were meant to inherit my essence and become the new Xel'Naga."

"But now it seems..."

Oulus glanced at Jiang Li, who was directing Er Gou to move the meat.

"You seem to have found a... more interesting path of evolution (eating)."

"so……"

"I should rest too."

The light gradually faded.

But before it dissipated, a ray of light drifted to Jiang Li's front.

I circled the bowl of red oil tofu (which I had deliberately saved) in his hand.

"Um……"

"I can smell it."

"It really does smell... good."

Goodbye... Chef.

The light spot went out completely.

The last god of the old era, satisfied (satisfied), returned to nothingness completely.

……

A new journey begins.

[Ding! Mission complete: The ultimate feast in the Koprulu Sector.]

[Reward Obtained: Old Recipes - Void Edition (Unlocked)]

[Title obtained: Godslayer (crossed out) --> Godslayer.]

[Gluttony Godhood: Advances to "Void Overlord Level".]

Jiang Li stood at the bow of the Gluttony.

Looking at this starry sky that has been "purified" (eaten up).

"it's over?"

Alice asked.

"No."

Jiang Li shook his head.

He looked towards a more distant place.

At the end of that starry sky.

He sensed... a more intense, stronger, and more delicious aroma.

"This is just... an appetizer."

Jiang Li turned around and looked at his companions behind him, who were already full and celebrating their victory.

Humans, Zerg, Protoss, and even hybrids.

Everyone sat around huge hot pots, with no racial barriers, only a love for the food.

"In this universe."

"As long as there are still people who are hungry."

"As long as there are still undiscovered ingredients."

"Deep Blue Cafeteria..."

"It will never close."

……

Jiang Li raised Occam's razor in his hand.

Gazing at the stars and the sea.

They shouted that slogan that made the entire universe tremble (excited):

"Next stop!"

"Who is... the main course?!"
