The culinary stars who made an appearance at the hotel today are now gathered around a long table, discussing cooking methods and expressing their opinions, but none of them can outsmart the others and convince them.
Seeing the commotion they were having, Pendragon curiously went over and glanced at the large block of ice on the cutting board.
"Emmmmmm..."
Pendragon felt a chill run down his spine. What kind of theory, and how audacious of assumptions, led them to consider the followers of an evil god as top-tier food and debate its preparation?
The frozen object only had the basic shape of a fish, from which complex and chaotic geometric organs extended, in a standard Cthulhu style, with tentacles, carapace, and many purple eyes...
This looks absolutely unappetizing; just looking at it makes you want to lose weight.
It turns out that people in this world are the true warriors among foodies.
Just as Pendragon felt that the otherworldly evil god was getting closer to him, the chefs' discussion also reached a preliminary conclusion.
Besides sending people to continue staking out the pool where it was found and trying to catch a second one, everyone has been assigned their preferred part and is cooking it using their own preferred methods.
Pendragon: ? ? ?
The bespectacled pink-haired girl, Shinomiya, gouged out all the fish's eyes, intending to stew them in wine.
Hinako also got her wish and received the most tender "fish belly" part, and is now looking for ingredients to make seasoning.
I cracked an egg into the shelled part and steamed it over high heat, which made Pendragon's ahoge (cowlick) stand up straight.
Of course, the tentacles with their eyes gouged out weren't thrown away either. Egg wash, breadcrumbs, and plenty of oil—everything can be made into tempura.
When it comes to exploring culinary delights, I have indeed lost.
As the chefs continued their work, various Cthulhu dishes were completed one after another. In the enclosed environment, jet-black beams of light soared upwards and instantly disappeared into the ceiling.
"This...this is..."
"Eating Qi???"
"It even has a black aura?!"
"This has never happened before in history!"
Are we about to usher in a new era?!
No, you have opened the door to a new world! You are great revolutionary pioneers!
The ominous black odor emanating from the artwork gradually dissipated, while the steam from the cooking process, carrying a fragrant aroma, wafted over...
Wait, why can't I smell any aroma from the food?
Only dishes that are perfect in color, aroma, and taste can be considered a qualified dish. How come this ingredient doesn't emit any aroma at all? It even absorbs the aroma of the seasonings completely, just like a food model.
This alone is enough to constitute a fatal flaw; no matter how good the food tastes, it will become lackluster without the enhancement of aroma.
But... what's with this craving that's been lingering in my mind, refusing to go away, and even making my body start to lose control?
For no apparent reason, an almost instinctive, intense urge compelled those nearby to pick up their utensils—
The next second, all the evil god's dishes disappeared right before their eyes, and the primal and intense urge that originated from their hearts subsided.
"???"
What's going on? These renowned chefs in the culinary world were completely bewildered, and one by one they began to question their existence.
Actually, the taste is alright.
The fish eyes stewed in white wine were surprisingly soft and tender. She had even eaten the true form of the evil god, so a mere member of her kin was instantly broken down into magical energy and stored away.
The mantis shrimp that Hengxing grilled was too old; it was tough to chew.
The presence of servants of an evil god in this world indicates that the giant octopus has taken notice of this place, and it is not advisable to linger here.
Back in his bedroom, Pendragon used his hawk-like sharp eyes to search around, and pulled out a wisp of dragon soul essence from the mysterious void.
The long, lizard-like creature grotesquely writhed in Pendragon's palm for a moment before transforming into a large cat. Its neck was gripped tightly, and its four paws were fully extended as if it were frantically scratching at something. Its eyes were narrowed into slits and hidden on its face.
"Wake up."
Pendragon picked up the cat and gave it a shake, then grabbed it by the armpits with both hands and scanned its head from all angles like a searchlight.
"Don't you feel a strong sense of malice coming from all directions?"
"Meow."
With a cry, the cat-shaped dragon broke free from my grasp.
"So close!"
Pendragon was shocked; the spaces of the two universes had begun to merge!
The next step is to begin projecting power to completely devour and tear this world apart, and then confront oneself.
Pendragon's ahoge is really annoying. What kind of grudge does he have? Doesn't he find it troublesome?
Indeed, one cannot use normal human thinking to speculate about their thoughts.
"If you're so capable, then come over here directly."
P.S.: I quit my job about a month ago. I originally planned to focus on writing after quitting, but my procrastination has only gotten worse...
Chapter 190 Rising from the Coffin
Chapter 190
Pendragon can fully unleash his power even on someone else's home turf, adapting very quickly; these evil gods probably don't have this ability.
Therefore, when they invade, they will gradually deploy their forces, giving Pendragon ample time to react.
"We've finally found such a world, we have to try all the local specialties."
Pendragon felt he had wasted too much time and took out two pieces of black bean paste to eat.
The premium ingredients in this world are quite something; they can actually cut through the richness of black bean paste.
The energy from the black bean paste completely activated the reactor within Pendragon's body, and endless magic power instantly spread throughout her entire body. The invisible pressure even distorted the light around her, making the air appear as if it were on fire.
It's been a long time since I've used this power, so I'm a little unaccustomed to it at first, but I'll get used to it in a bit.
Pendragon exhaled softly, having completely regained control of the magic within her body. The terrifying phenomenon in the air vanished as a result, and then she took out six gems.
Although infinite magic could do the same thing, it was much more convenient to directly wield this infinite power, and Pendragon had already gotten used to it.
It turns out that the resort's premium ingredient is a tree-grown ham, which is really impressive. The mature ham is as if it were processed by a German machine tool, perfectly square, with beautiful and smooth fat marbling on the surface.
That's not even the most peculiar thing. All sorts of top-grade ingredients are scattered in every corner of the world. As Pendragon was thinking, all of these appeared in his perception in an instant.
All the premium ingredients, both those that have been discovered and those that have not yet been discovered, are presented in the form of information, with very detailed data.
Most premium ingredients already have owners. Even though Pendragon could transfer them all to his side in an instant, it would be better to offer some compensation.
The situation on this planet is roughly the same as on Earth. Deep underground, in the magma, there are a large number of precious gems and precious metal veins, but they cannot be mined with the current technology of civilization.
Of course, once they become mineable, these items will probably be priced similarly to those sold at street stalls.
Pendragon freely took whatever was unclaimed from the lava. Considering the world's financial economy, he selected different types of minerals from underground, added some gold, and then began exchanging them with the premium ingredients that were already owned.
With a snap of his fingers, all the above operations were completed in an instant, and Pendragon stored these premium ingredients in a temporarily created space.
To be honest, the harvest wasn't much. Even though it was collected from all over the world, it wasn't enough for her to have a single meal, and it didn't even take up the space of a bedroom.
Next, Rin was asked to cook the ingredients. After explaining their origins, the young lady said, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" while looking at Pendragon with her beautiful big eyes.
"Give me your hand."
Pendragon carved out a temporary space filled with premium ingredients, granting Rin the ability to open it with her hand.
“Wow, that’s so many!”
Miss Rin showed great interest in this legendary spatial equipment, as it was her first time encountering it.
Mental power can perceive things in another space, and then with a thought, one or more selected ingredients will appear instantly.
"Wow, they actually managed to collect all 108 kinds!"
Rin Tohsaka's consciousness swept over the area and was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
"Hmm? Is there any particular reason for this?"
Pendragon's ahoge (cowlick) twitched as he looked at Rin.
“Class isn’t… In this world, there’s a legend that anyone who has tasted 108 kinds of top-grade ingredients will awaken a physique called ‘God of Food Body’.”
Miss Rin originally wanted to complain that you didn't pay attention in class, but then she realized that was indeed the case, so she directly explained.
"Oh."
Pendragon nodded; she had thought it was just a rumor about "easily gaining half the country."
So Rin is happy that she has something to explore and study.
For the next few days, they paid little attention to what was happening outside. Apart from necessary sleep and rest, Pendragon and Lily either savored dishes made with premium ingredients or waited for the dishes to be served.
Premium ingredients come in all shapes and sizes, and the cooking methods are sometimes quite unique, making it impossible to prepare them using only the kitchen in the suite.
But there's the all-powerful Pendragon, capable of simulating any environment and conveniently masking that blindingly bright golden special effect.
Then there's the legend of the 108 ingredients. Each of the top-grade ingredients has a certain strengthening effect on the body, and the combination of more than 100 ingredients is quite terrifying for ordinary people.
Although the five senses were not enhanced to the level of the "God's Tongue," the enhancement was comprehensive, and it was not just an enhancement of the senses, but also of physical abilities!
Considering its overall attributes after the buffs, calling it the God of Food wouldn't be wrong.
After finishing his meal, Pendragon didn't just leave. The power of the evil god had already been projected into this world. To prevent these warriors from accidentally eating something they shouldn't, Pendragon used his temporary administrator privileges to wipe out all of the evil god's followers and then gave A-Zong the middle finger with his ahoge (antenna-like hair sticking up).
After saying goodbye to his classmates whom he had been with for more than half a year, Pendragon carried the spaceship and opened a time portal—
With no ambushes, Pendragon quickly led his ship away and then hurried inside, finding the turbulent air uncomfortable.
Pendragon got another world coordinate from the cat. This time, he didn't care much about the coordinates; any world he hadn't been to before would do.
Worlds that have been tracked by evil gods before are likely to be found again, so Pendragon is too lazy to investigate. If it can be avoided, then it should be avoided.
"Would you like to continue traveling with me?"
Pendragon recharged the power room and returned to the courtyard of the hot springs.
This question was mainly directed at Lily-chan, and given Rin's personality, she would definitely agree.
Lily thought for a moment, then nodded.
As her swordsmanship improved, the various other worlds represented endless opportunities. After tasting the benefits, she found it difficult to resist such temptations.
"Is it okay?"
Lady Rin, however, had some concerns. She sensed that Pendragon seemed to be in some unresolved trouble.
P.S.: To be honest, the author of this book has actually abandoned it. I am his cat, a white-haired, blue-eyed, abstinent (newly neutered) lady. The silly owner is so lazy that he can't even afford cat food. In order to prevent the two of us from starving, I have to bite the bullet and help him write. The silly author has gone to write his own silly new book.
④ City Capital Garden School
Chapter 191 How Did the Little Sister Get So Fat?
Chapter 191
Of course, given Pendragon's performance, it's hard not to notice.
"no problem."
With my skills, I can't translate it.
Before Pendragon could finish speaking, the spaceship shuddered violently, accompanied by a sickening metallic tearing sound.
Rin Tohsaka and Lily were unable to make a sound, as if they were frozen in crystal, maintaining their previous expressions and movements. However, their figures exhibited an incredibly bizarre folding phenomenon, with countless frontal, inverted, young, old, and even opposite-sex images reflecting from their bodies.
The shield Pendragon had placed on the surface of the spaceship was pierced by a single blow. The specially treated material could not withstand the erosion of the spacetime forces. Like an oil painting that had been washed away, the gray and white parts spread rapidly and then disappeared.
"..."
Pendragon really wanted to swear, but even if she uttered a flower now, it wouldn't make a difference.
The power of time and space converged in her hands, and two barriers separated Rin and Lily respectively. The two, who were extending towards infinite possibilities, immediately returned to normal, staring wide-eyed at everything that was happening around them, in disbelief.
"what happens?"
Miss Rin's rosy lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.
