"This is a blatant conspiracy!"
"The Gourmet Cells are a cancer, a virus, spreading throughout the universe! Their so-called adaptation and enhancement are aimless, ultimately leading only to the universe's demise!"
Afterward.
The universe transformed drastically, its physical laws distorted. The sky filled with stars changed their appearance, becoming delectable dishes on a dining table.
Cosmic beings, unable to control their appetites, incessantly consumed, their greed breeding further greed.
The universe gradually became hollow...
As matter concentrated, space began to collapse.
In spaces devoid of matter, time also lost its meaning.
"Heat death?"
"No, it should be reversed heat death!"
Heat death is one of the ultimate fates of the universe.
Under this hypothesis, the entropy of the universe increases with the passage of time, moving from order to disorder. When the entropy of the universe reaches its maximum value, all effective energy within the universe has been converted into thermal energy, and all matter reaches thermal equilibrium.
This state is known as heat death.
In such a universe, no energy capable of sustaining motion or life exists.
What the Gourmet Cells did was to reduce entropy, lowering it to a minimum, achieving a state of universal unity.
"Cosmic Big Crunch!"
"Followed by the Big Bang!"
Although he had anticipated it, Zhang Wei was still startled.
These consciousnesses were indeed born at the dawn of the Big Bang.
Montocato said, "By the time we realized the universe's ultimate trajectory, we were powerless to stop it. No god would cease their feasting mouths; fate was sealed!"
"When the universe shrank to its limit, all existence ceased to be. Only we, who had stolen a shred of eternal truth, could parasitize our limited consciousness onto the ethereal void."
"Though we cannot recreate the glory of the past, at least we will not easily vanish. Occasionally... such as now, we can briefly regain consciousness."
So that's how it is!
The so-called Food Luck was a remnant from before the universe's birth!
Even after being shattered into spirit forms, the pursuit of exquisite tastes and delicacies remained.
Gourmet Cells...
Could they generate delicacies that even gods could not refuse?
With this thought, Zhang Wei spoke, "What will become of you four?"
Motocato replied, "We are ancient gods, masters of the supreme powers within the universe. With our knowledge and experience, your future path will be exceptionally smooth."
"I have a premonition that if we leave here, we will revert to that hazy state. Though this is but a tiny fraction of our true forms, we must seize the opportunity, right?"
Zhang Wei shook his head, "I'm afraid not. This is my spiritual realm, the core of my consciousness. How can I allow others to sleep soundly beneath my own bed?"
These old foxes were all difficult to handle, coupled with the Treasure Vault and his spiritual sanctuary, Zhang Wei would not trust them.
"But you cannot refuse."
All the seeping mist had condensed, and Montocato's body had become remarkably corporeal!
Montocato stated, "Though confined within this frail body, what can a mere mortal do... However, since you are unwilling to cooperate, we shall have to borrow your vessel."
The All-Seeing Eye, Nivida, unleashed its divine power. A beam of light from its eyes scanned the entire mental space, instantly locking onto the National Chef!
Nivida exclaimed, "Found it! This is his source of power!"
"What color? Is it white?"
"No!"
"Excellent!"
"But..."
"What is it?"
"It's golden!"
Montocato paused, "Golden?"
How could there be a golden Gourmet Devil?
This was impossible. In this universe, there were only five colors of Gourmet Devils.
Father: Black!
Mother: White!
Eldest Son: Red!
Second Son: Green!
Third Son: Blue!
And in this stellar region, red and blue Gourmet Devils were very weak, green and black were extremely rare, while white possessed incredibly high-level power.
But what was this golden color!
And at this moment!
The National Chef moved!
