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

Multiverse, M78 Nebula, outer orbit of the Land of Light.

"Buzz——————"

Space was like a curtain that had been burned through, revealing a huge black hole.

The ferocious bow of the [Deep Blue Gluttonous Leviathan], a fusion of Terran and Protoss styles, slowly emerged.

Just came out.

Holy crap!!

Tychus screamed on the bridge and covered his eyes.

"My gacha eyes!! This is way too bright?!"

"Who turned the lights on so loudly? Don't they have to pay for electricity?!"

Even through the spaceship's light-filtering shield, the outside world was still unsettlingly bright.

It was a gigantic planet made entirely of emerald-colored crystal. There were no oceans, no soil, only rolling crystal mountains and magnificent silver buildings.

At the highest point of the planet, a towering Plasma Spark Tower is emitting artificial sunlight powerful enough to illuminate the entire nebula.

……

"Such pure energy..."

Jiang Li put on a pair of sunglasses (made from fragments of Blackrock Fortress).

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the tower.

The Gluttony Godhead in his hand was trembling slightly.

"This light..."

"Not the kind of violent nuclear fusion that occurs on stars."

"Instead, it is a kind of... highly ordered, life-like... cold light."

Jiang Li licked his lips.

"This energy..."

"Perfect for making...frozen desserts."

"For example... plasma aurora shaved ice."

"Or... the Crystal Jelly of Light."

……

The Space Garrison's alarm sounds.

Just as the Gluttony came to a complete stop.

The Land of Light, Headquarters of the Space Garrison.

The piercing alarm blared through the sky.

[Warning! Super-beast level energy detected!]

[Target location: Outside the atmosphere!]

[Energy Level: Incalculable! Even surpassing that of the Emperor Alien!]

[Identifying features: A gigantic...tentacle monster? Carrying a pot on its back?]

……

"A tentacle monster?"

Zoffy, captain of the Space Garrison, is a man with a row of medals hanging on his chest.

He stared at the strange object on the screen with a serious expression (if Ultraman had a face).

"This aura..."

"It is filled with greed and devouring."

"Could it be... a higher-level evolution of Bogal?"

"Whatever it is, we can't let him get near the plasma spark tower!"

Zoffy waved his cape.

"Ultraman Brothers! Move out!!"

"yes!!"

Five red rays of light followed closely behind, shooting into the sky.

……

The six brothers' interception.

Ahead of the Gluttony.

Six enormous, silver-red giants appeared out of thin air, surrounding the area.

Zoffy, Ultraman, Seven, Jack, Ace, Taro.

The legendary Ultra Brothers.

They floated in space, their Ultraman capes fluttering behind them (where does the wind come from in space? That's an aura).

"Outsiders!!"

Zoffy issued an Ultra Sign (telepathy).

"This is the Land of Light!"

"Stop advancing immediately! Identify yourself!"

"Otherwise... we will consider you an intruder!"

……

"Wow."

Jiang Li looked at the six enormous figurines outside... no, giants.

"This is... the Giant of Light?"

"She does have a rather unique appearance."

"Like a skinned... Salted Egg Superman?"

Jiang Li picked up the megaphone.

"Good morning/afternoon, leaders."

"I am the person in charge of Deep Blue Cafeteria."

"Passing by your esteemed place, I found it too hot."

"I'd like to borrow your... big light bulb (spark tower)..."

"Make some shaved ice."

"Could you do me a favor?"

……

"Shaved...shaved ice?"

The six brothers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Using a plasma spark tower...as an ice shaver?

"absurd!!"

Ace has a bad temper.

Known as the "Dismemberment Maniac of the Land of Light" and the "Dharma King," he couldn't stand such nonsense.

"Plasma sparks are the source of our life! How can they be desecrated!"

"I think you're just trying to steal the tower!"

"Take this... Guillotine strike!!"

……

A battle of cutting.

Ace spread his arms wide, gathering energy.

[Skill: Ultra Guillotine]

"brush!!"

A massive, crescent-shaped blade of light, sharp enough to slice through super beasts, spun as it flew toward the Gluttony.

……

"Someone who plays with knives?"

Jiang Li smiled.

"What a coincidence."

"I'm also a... butcher."

Jiang Li did not use the spaceship's shields.

Instead, they teleported directly outside the spaceship.

He was holding the McCann chainsaw cleaver in his hand.

Facing a guillotine blade powerful enough to slice through a planet.

Jiang Li simply flicked his wrist.

[Culinary Technique: Like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox – Slicing in reverse.]

"Ding ding ding ding!!"

Jiang Li's sword speed was extremely fast.

He didn't take the hit head-on.

Instead, he used the tip of his blade to gently tap the energy node of that light blade four times.

"Click."

That terrifying Ultraman guillotine.

It disintegrated in mid-air.

It turned into tiny, regular, snowflake-like specks of light.

……

"What?!"

Ace was horrified.

His guillotine... was shredded?

Did you cut through the blade's energy with a knife?

What kind of operation is this?

……

"Good knife skills."

Jiang Li reached out and caught a patch of light.

"The energy is very well compressed."

"This kind of light blade..."

"If it's not chopped up, it'll be too hard."

"Like this now..."

Jiang Li put the light spot into her mouth.

"Slurp."

"Hmm, like... popping candy."

……

All-out attack.

Ace's attack was ineffective.

Zoffy realized that this enemy was no ordinary foe.

"Attack together!!"

"M87 Ray!!"

"Specium Ray!!"

"A cluster of rays!!"

"Senerahma rays!!"

"Strium Ray!!"

For an instant.

Multicolored, deadly beams of light, like a rainbow rain, enveloped Jiang Li.

Each of these rays could destroy an asteroid.

The six brothers combined are enough to destroy a galaxy.

……

"Goodness."

Jiang Li looked at the sky filled with light.

"This is... forcibly heating it up."

"Perfect."

Jiang Li pulled out that... [Necromancer Living Metal Pot] from behind his back.

"Since you're so enthusiastic..."

"Then I'll... accept it!"

[Skill: Gluttony - Devouring the Heavens with a Black Pot.]

Jiang Li aimed the pot at the light.

"Ergou! Start sucking!!"

"Woof!!!"

Er Gou, hiding inside the pot, opened his mouth wide and created a directional black hole.

"call------"

All the light.

Whether it's the M87 or the Specium.

As they approached the pot, they were all twisted by gravity and obediently... squeezed into the pot.

……

"Sizzle sizzle—"

The bottom of the large black pot instantly lit up.

Multicolored light converges and blends in the pot.

It turned into a... extremely dazzling, high-energy, liquid plasma.

……

"This is too much..."

Taro watched as his Strium Ray was swallowed by a cauldron.

The whole person is not well.

"What kind of pot is that?!"

"Is this the new armor recently invented by Hikari (the scientist from the Land of Light)?"

"No."

Seven calmly analyzed the situation.

"That's not protective gear."

"Those are... kitchen utensils."

"He's...making soup."

……

A chaotic stew of light.

Jiang Li took the large spoon (McKahn spatula) and stirred it in the pot.

"Um……"

"The M87 light source provides the heat."

"The Specium Rays provide the texture."

"Ace's beam is a bit too hot."

"This pot of [Ultraman Energy Soup]..."

Jiang Li took a bite.

"The taste is a bit bland."

"One thing is still missing."

Jiang Li's gaze pierced through the six brothers' defenses.

I looked at that... Plasma Spark Tower.

"We're missing... a main ingredient."

……

"Don't even think about it!!"

Zoffy saw through Jiang Li's intentions.

"For the Land of Light!!"

"Ultra Barrier!!"

The six brothers joined hands and formed a huge wall of light, blocking Jiang Li's way.

……

Belial's escape.

Just when the two sides were deadlocked.

Deep beneath the Land of Light.

Space Prison.

A Diablo god who had been sealed away for tens of thousands of years suddenly opened his narrow, orange-red eyes.

"Hehehe..."

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

"It smells so good..."

Ultraman Belial.

He smelled it.

Although he was underground, he could smell the "Ultraman Energy Soup" in space.

as well as……

The lingering scent of that time when Unicron turned into popcorn.

"This power..."

"If I could get it..."

"I will surpass the Land of Light! I will surpass the King of Ultra!!"

"Zarab alien! What are you waiting for?!"

……

Outside the prison cell.

A sneaky alien (Zarab alien), holding the Giga Battle Nizer, shakily broke the seal.

"Lord Belial! I've come to your rescue!"

"Get out of here!!"

Belial snatched the fighting device.

He smashed the Zarab aliens to pieces with one blow.

"So noisy."

He stretched his neck.

"Now……"

"It's time to go... to the banquet."

……

"boom!!!"

The dome of the cosmic prison was blown open.

A black and red beam of light shot into the sky.

……

A three-way battle ensued.

in space.

Jiang Li, who was about to break through the Ultra Barrier, suddenly stopped.

He looked down.

A hunchbacked, black-and-red giant, wielding a massive spiked club (Ultimate Fighting Device), was charging at incredible speed.

"Belial?!!"

Zoffy was shocked.

"Why is he out here?!"

"Quick! Send half of your men to stop him!!"

……

"Oh?"

Jiang Li looked at Beria.

"This look..."

"Hunchbacked, dark circles under his eyes, carrying a stick..."

"He looks a bit like... Sun Wukong (the dark version) after finishing overtime work?"

……

"Get out of my way, Ultra Brothers!"

Belial wielded his fighting gadget and sent Jack and Ace flying with a single blow.

"I'm here to see...that cook!!"

Beria hovered in front of Jiang Li.

His evil eyes were fixed on the large black pot in Jiang Li's hand.

"Kid."

Beria pointed to the pot.

"That pot of soup..."

"I want it."

"In exchange, I can leave you with a whole corpse."

……

"Would you like some soup?"

Jiang Li looked at this arrogant guy.

He then glanced at the Ultimate Fighting Device in his hand.

That fighting device is thick at both ends and thin in the middle, and it can control a hundred monsters.

"You can have soup if you want."

Jiang Li pointed to Belial's weapon.

"But you have to lend me that... rolling pin."

……

"A rolling pin?!"

Beria was furious.

This is the Ultimate Fighting Device! It's a divine artifact of the Reibloodians!

"court death!!"

"Monster army! Come forth!!"

"Buzz—"

The two ends of the fighting device lit up.

One hundred monsters appeared in light and shadow.

Gomora, Red King, Zetton, King Joe...

Countless phantom images of classic monsters roared as they charged toward Jiang Li.

……

"More people?"

Jiang Li smiled.

He snapped his fingers.

"Men! Come out and greet our guests!"

"Gluttony! Open the hatch!"

"Splash—"

The hatch of the Gluttony opened.

Two Dogs (in Devouring Hound form), Salaka (orc warlord, now a rancher), Tex (Thor mech), and Red Spider (a modified drone).

and also……

SCP-682 (the Undying Lizard, now in its muscular form) was brought from the SCP universe.

as well as……

The millions of greenskins recruited from Amagiton.

"WAAAGH!!!"

"For the sake of the cafeteria!!"

……

A chaotic monster battle.

The area is closed.

As soon as Gomora appeared, 682 bit its tail.

"This is my tail! Don't take it!" (682 thought it was regenerated meat).

Red King tried to throw a stone, but was punched away by Salaka.

"You call that muscles? Look at mine!"

Zetton tried to teleport, but Er Gou's karmic fire blast caused the teleportation to fail, turning him into a roasted Zetton.

……

"this……"

The Ultra Brothers standing nearby were dumbfounded.

Is this... a melee on a trans-cosmic level?

This art style... why does it look so strange?

……

Chef showdown.

The ragtag soldiers are fighting.

The commander-in-chief was also busy.

Beria brandished his fighting gadget and hurled it at Jiang Li.

"Die!!"

Jiang Li remained calm and composed.

He holds the necromancer's cauldron lid in his left hand (to block attacks).

He held a McCann chainsaw cleaver in his right hand.

"when!"

The combat device hit the pot lid.

The shock made Beria's hands go numb.

"Not bad strength."

Jiang Li commented.

"Suitable for... pounding rice cakes."

"brush!"

Jiang Li slashed backhand with a knife.

Heading straight for Beria's...spine.

It is said that Belial was hunchbacked because of a spinal injury (or because he was possessed by Reiblood).

"Look at your back..."

"There seems to be a problem."

"As a chef..."

"What I'm best at is... deboning."

"Especially...the spine."

……

[Cooking Skills: Bone Setting and Massage - A Violent Disassembly Version]

Jiang Li's figure appeared behind Belial like a ghost.

The cleaver wasn't used to chop.

Instead, he used the back of the knife... towards Belial's hunchbacked area.

"Stand up straight, sir!!"

"Thump!!!"

A loud bang.

"ah!!!"

Belial let out a scream.

But he was surprised to find...

My back, bent for tens of thousands of years...

It was actually straightened by this one blow?

……

"this……"

Beria touched his back.

This tangy feeling...

This transparency...

He actually stood up straight?

"Thank you...no! I'm going to kill you!!"

Beria realized that this was a fight, not physical therapy!

……

The changes at the Spark Tower.

Just as Jiang Li and Belial were locked in a fierce battle (or rather, Jiang Li was toying with Belial),

The plasma spark tower suddenly underwent an abnormal change.

Perhaps it's because there are too many high-energy reactions gathered around.

Perhaps it's because the suction of this big black pot is too strong.

The artificial sun core at the top of the Spark Tower (Plasma Spark).

Surprisingly... it loosened.

"Buzz—"

A dazzling emerald-colored beam of light detached from the top of the tower.

Go straight into the sky.

……

"Spark Tower!!"

Zoffy shouted.

"We can't let it get away!!"

"That's mine!!"

Belial, no longer caring about fighting, reached out to grab it.

……

"Whoever grabs it keeps it!"

Jiang Li was not to be outdone.

"Ergou! Open your mouth!"

"suck!!"

……

Just as the three parties (Ultraman Brothers, Belial, and Jiang Li) were all rushing towards that core.

An old, dignified voice, yet with a touch of kindness.

Suddenly, it resounded throughout the entire space.

"Stop it, everyone."

……

The king has arrived.

Golden light enveloped the entire venue.

An Ultraman wearing a red cape and sporting a large beard slowly emerged from the light.

Ultraman King.

The guardian deity of the Land of Light, one of the four mysterious beings.

He stretched out a hand.

I gently caught that restless plasma spark.

then.

He looked at Jiang Li.

Those red eyes were filled with...wisdom (and a hint of curiosity about food).

"A young... stranger."

"You want this light..."

"Is it for...to make food?"

……

"That's right."

Jiang Li put away the kitchen knife, neither humble nor arrogant.

"It's getting hot."

"I want to make... a light-colored shaved ice."

"Please, sir... grant my request."

……

"Smoothie..."

The King of Ultra remained silent for a second.

then.

He did something that made all the Ultramen (including Belial) dislocate their jaws.

He flipped his wrist.

From that infinitely energetic plasma spark.

I broke off a small piece.

(It's like breaking off a piece of biscuit.)

"Take it."

The King of Ultra threw that small piece of light crystal to Jiang Li.

"As long as you can make... a smoothie that satisfies me too."

"This little bit of light..."

Even if it was me... who paid the deposit.

……

The entire site was petrified.

Zoffy: "The King?!"

Beria: "You old fool! You'd rather give me a cook than a cook?!"

Jiang Li caught the crystal.

That is pure, solid-state plasma energy.

Icy cold, bone-chilling, yet warm.

"nice one."

Jiang Li smiled.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the King of Ultra.

"make a deal."

"Swann! Bring out my [smoothie machine] (modified with a Cybertronian engine)!"

"tonight……"

"The Land of Light..."

"Everyone eat ice cream!!"
