Mei's Horrible Cooking and Griseo's Strength

Unable to believe the gap was so vast, Mei gritted her teeth and resolutely stepped into the trial ground known as the kitchen.

He thought to himself that he had been practicing Previous Civilization, so how could he have no chance of winning? As for the pot of poison this morning... it was just that he hadn't used his true skills!

(Mei! Unleash your potential! All those years of training have definitely not been in vain! It's just cooking a meal, how could it be harder than fighting the Honkai?!)

Mei tightened her apron, picked up the kitchen knife, looked at her reflection in the blade, and mustered her energy.

Prometheus: "Attention everyone! Dr. Mei has entered the kitchen! High alert! High alert! This is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill!!"

Kiana: "This is... this is so exaggerated?"

Griseo: "Once, when Sister May was cooking, a huge explosion occurred, which almost destroyed the entire Elysian Realm."

Bronya: "Um, are you sure that's cooking, and not making explosives?"

Aponia: "We're not sure..."

The Current Civilization group, unaware of the gravity of the situation, remained frozen in place, while the Previous Civilization group, aware of the impending crisis, had already prepared their defenses.

Fu Hua initiated the Artificial Herrscher Form, Prometheus used the Soul Steel Gauntlets as a shield, Aponia Griseo behind her, and Eden was already considering whether or not to write his will.

But perhaps we were just lucky.

Mei's cooking went smoothly this time without any major mishaps.

Boom--!!!

They just blew up the kitchen in the Valkyrie's dormitory.

The Current Civilization team. "The kitchen—!!!"

Previous Civilization Group: "Phew~ thankfully it's just the kitchen."

Third update. Requesting flowers, votes, and tips.

Chapter 414, Mei's Dark Cuisine, Griseo's Power (Please Submit)

"Incredible, how did they do that?"

Inside the Valkyrie's dormitory.

Everyone looked at the result achieved at the cost of blowing up the kitchen, and they all showed strange and speechless expressions.

Mei and Rita were pale.

If they weren't Herrscher and S-Rank Valkyrie, and had immediately switched to their own armor the moment they sensed something was wrong, they might already be injured by now.

Even though they themselves were unharmed, the dishes they made turned to ashes, while the dishes that Mei summoned using their dishes as offerings were preserved.

"Something just doesn't make sense. How did this pot of food survive the explosion?"

Bronya thought it looked a lot like a slime from a game, but a toxic, horror-themed slime.

"The refrigerator is full of perfectly safe and edible ingredients, so how do you make this? Mei, are you some kind of alchemist?"

After glancing at it, everyone took a few steps back, their instincts warning them to get away from the pot.

A pot of "porridge" shrouded in black mist, but Bronya was being quite lenient by describing it as a slime; in reality, it could even be described as a pot of swamp monsters.

Moreover, everyone rubbed their eyes, thinking it might be their imagination, but they seemed to see a wailing face on the surface of the pot of 'porridge'.

"This is bad. It feels many times more terrifying than it did back in the Previous Civilization."

"If Bai Ge had fed this pot of porridge to the Finality back then, it might have poisoned the Herrscher of Finality to death."

"Let's not do it. Isn't using such methods too evil and too cruel?"

"Is this what 50,000 years of culinary cultivation looks like? Mei, you didn't cultivate it all into Dark Cuisine, did you?"

The members of the Previous Civilization Group were also sweating profusely.

Recalling the fear of being dominated by Mei's cooking, these battle- Flame Chasers were now all pale-faced, clutching their stomachs which were beginning to ache.

Even Griseo was no exception.

The girl recalled her younger, naive self. Once, she was drawing late into the night and was so hungry that she mustered up some courage and actually dared to try Mei's cooking.

I thought it was just ugly on the surface but actually edible, but unsurprisingly, it ended up being an accident.

He only licked a sip of soup with a cat, and then lived in Mobius's laboratory for a whole month.

Pardo said she had nine lives, and in that instant, eight of them were gone...

"Scanner analysis indicates it is a biochemical toxin, extremely high level. The fact that it remained intact in the exploded kitchen suggests that high temperatures may not be able to kill it. We recommend using Pseudo Black Hole to completely annihilate it."

Prometheus raised his Soul Steel hand, ready to create Pseudo Black Hole.

"How could this be? I cooked it the way I normally would."

Mei looked at her hands with great suspicion, feeling that she might be influenced by some kind of rule.

Mei and Rita were also puzzled. They had indeed seen Mei cook in a normal way, but as she cooked, she somehow managed to combine the ingredients into this incredible dish.

"Would anyone like to try a bite? Maybe..."

"Mei, do you want to kill us?"

Seeing that the woman was still not giving up, everyone broke out in a cold sweat and assumed a fighting stance.

"Give up, Mei. Everyone has things they're not good at."

"I don't want to! Bai Ge once said he believed I would be able to make edible food someday. Just give me a little more time, and I'm sure I can succeed!"

"Well, what you said is very touching, but reality is just as terrifying as the pot of porridge you made."

However, just as everyone was thinking about how to persuade Mei to put down the kitchen knife and continue being an ordinary mad scientist.

"What happened? Why is black smoke coming from the dormitory roof? Hmm? Griseo, May, Prometheus, I didn't expect you guys to be here too!"

"Bai Ge!" xN

When the White Youth returned, the girls immediately felt like they had found a savior. However, when they saw the two sisters, Sakura and Rin, following behind Bai, their eyes twitched.

Well, my opponent has gained five points today!

"Sakura, Rin, I'll call you later. It's extremely urgent right now. Bai Ge, come and persuade Mei quickly."

"There's only one person in this world who can stop Mei from going further and further down the path of Dark Cuisine, and that's you!"

"Huh, I got into such a big mess as soon as I got back?"

Bai Ge looked at the pot with embarrassment and instantly understood what was going on. Just from its appearance, he knew that it must be even more terrifying than the one from 50,000 years ago.

Eden and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it was Bai Ge's words that made Mei persist on the path of cooking, they should also be able to make her give up this path of no return.

As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it. Mei, wouldn't it be better if you just stayed a mad scientist?

However, to everyone's surprise,

"..."

Bai Ge stared at Mei's Dark Cuisine for a while, as if gazing into an abyss, before scooping up a spoonful with a ladle.

"Wait! Bai Ge, what are you doing?!"

"Don't do anything reckless!"

"If you're hungry, eat a few bites of 'Northwest Wind' to fill your stomach first, and we'll find you something to eat right away!"

The women's hearts skipped a beat; they had a bad feeling.

"..."

Bai silently watched the porridge gradually corroding the metal spoon, then looked at Mei's expectant gaze, and finally took a deep breath and expressionlessly opened his mouth to take a bite.

"Ah... um... ooh..."

Suppressing the urge to roll his eyes upward, Bai Ge unleashed the full power of the Herrscher of Life and Death, his entire body trembling slightly, and a clear deathly expression appearing on his face.

But he didn't fall!

At this moment, everyone witnessed what a will stronger than steel truly meant, and they were filled with admiration and respect. He truly deserved to be called the savior Flame-Chasers who saved Previous Civilization.

What incredible willpower!

"Bai, Bai Ge, what do you think?"

"Hmm... it's... it's pretty good... not bad... it's just a little bitter... a little spicy... a little numbing... it feels like firecrackers are going off in my stomach, haha, isn't that quite unique?"

"This is absolutely not the feeling one should have when eating!" xN

Bai Ge slowly put down the soup spoon in his hand, then patted Mei's head, who was looking very touched. His Golden Eyes were filled with affection that almost melted the Dark Cuisine novice.

"Although the taste is a bit pungent, it's not to the point of being completely inedible. Hmm, it's a huge improvement over what it was 50,000 years ago. It truly lives up to its name as a plum."

"Bai Ge, I'm so touched!"

This person never disappoints.

Tears welled up in Mei's eyes as she opened her arms and embraced the White Youth tightly. She felt that her persistence had not been in vain and had not been wrong.

Bai Ge nuzzled Mei's cheek and patted her back encouragingly as he continued.

"It's a piece of cake, but it's better not to let others eat it in the future. Ordinary people may not understand the deliciousness of your cooking. Leave it to me from now on."
