Kevin used the Space Wormhole to his heart's content, throwing two roast suckling pigs into the laser prison. Soton, with his Beast instincts, immediately jumped up and eagerly grabbed the food.

With a few quick bites, the two roast suckling pigs were easily devoured, except this time, Soton clearly chewed and savored them more.

As the flavor exploded on his tongue, the giant crocodile before him surprisingly felt an urge to cry.

Seeing this, Kevin realized that his act of feeding Soton seemed to have connected him emotionally, and he smiled and asked.

"If we eat this every day from now on, will we still be eating people?"

Soton slapped his thigh and couldn't help but complain, his crocodile face contorted in a grimace.

"If such a good thing existed, why would anyone eat shit!"

"Those offerings, I don't even know if they're cooked, they all came to me whole."

"Besides, we can't just eat for free; we also have to help out with the physical labor."

"I've lost so much because the angels have slashed away my land, which is my only source of sustenance, all for the Nile! I've suffered a huge loss!"

Upon hearing this, Kevin suddenly remembered the mythological origins related to the Crocodile God Soton.

Among the nine animal gods of ancient Egypt, one of them was Sobek, the crocodile god, who possessed four times the divinity.

His body resembled a human's, but it was covered in hard, dense scales, and he had a thick, heavy crocodile tail trailing behind him. His hands and feet were also shaped like crocodile claws.

Not only are they similar in appearance, but in the early stages of mythology, Sobek's fundamental belief was "eat or be eaten," which is very similar to the belief of the Crocodile God Soton.

However, this does not mean that the Crocodile God Soton was just Beast that only knew how to kill. In ancient Egyptian mythology, it once protected the birth of Horus, the god of the sky.

Therefore, in a sense, he is also the Guardian God of the Nile and Egypt.

After all, Death God Karl who airdropped Soton onto Earth, wasn't stupid; he knew very well that Earth was a minefield full of powerful figures.

If Soton had actually caused a massacre earlier, he would definitely have been crushed by a bunch of old fogies who suddenly appeared.

Therefore, this animal god who descended to earth cooperated with the native people of Egypt, forming a symbiotic relationship similar to that of a crocodile and a plover.

In return, Soton naturally accepted the Egyptians' offerings of people and livestock, ate their blood, and designated the area as his hunting grounds.

Furthermore, based on his memories, the group of human soldiers that Soton seemed to have hunted did not appear to be native Egyptians in terms of attire; instead, they bore many similarities to Roman civilization.

Adding to Soton's earlier resentful claim of "losing money," Kevin estimated that this guy was most likely summoned by the Egyptians with sacrifices to resist the Roman Empire's invasion of Egypt.

However, because of the commotion, Soton was unlucky enough to be spotted by the patrolmen of the Merlot Heavenly Court, and then suffered a Heavenly Blade Judgment, which directly decomposed him, and he recuperated in the seal for thousands of years.

The man popped a preserved plum candy into his mouth and chewed it, then stroked his chin and continued to speculate with great interest.

Perhaps it was the descent of angels that led the surviving or fleeing Roman soldiers to worship this creature as a god.

Could it be that this is precisely why Christianity later flourished in the Roman Empire?

Myth itself is history that has been concealed and distorted.

This world is getting more and more interesting.

Hmm, if we have time, we could make this a topic and discuss it with Hexi.

However, before that, let's solve this guy's problem first.

After confirming that the Crocodile God Soton was not purely evil, Kevin's lips curled into a slight smile, a kind smile that seemed to show particular sympathy for the large crocodile.

"You traveled thousands of miles across the stars just to get a decent meal?"

The man then casually tossed two more plates of "Meat Mountain," each four or five meters high, into the laser-guided cell.

Soton hurriedly wolfed down his food and gave a muffled, sullen reply.

"That's right! I haven't had a proper meal since I arrived here!"

After wolfing down the bones, chewing them thoroughly, and swallowing them whole, Soton patted his belly and looked at Kevin with a somewhat smug expression.

"Since we're all going to end up in your hands anyway, at least I can have a decent meal... that's good enough..."

Kevin's expression grew even more amiable as he turned and waved behind him.

"Look how hungry this child is, Chuangzi, bring two more sheep, plus a plate of the super-compressed beef jerky you've all eaten before."

At this moment, Liu Chuang, who was fiddling with a barbecue grill in front of the laser-guided prison, twitched his lips, wanting to object and emphasize his noble status as a member of the elite warriors.

However, intimidated by the man's tyranny, this man from Northeast China could only obediently bury himself in his work.

From brushing on oil and flipping the food, to sprinkling cumin and adding chili, Liu Chuang's movements became increasingly professional and skillful.

Even more unkindly, several of his fellow animals, who were squatting behind him stealing food, stuffed various skewered items next to the grill, giving him a knowing look.

In the lounge, everyone set up tables and chairs, and beer and drinks were served.

"This project has potential. If you open a shop in the future, I, Kevin Kaslana, will invest in it!"

In his spare time, Kevin took the cumin lamb skewers that Ge Xiaolun and the others had just ordered and grilled. After a few bites, he gave Liu Chuang a thumbs up for his cooking skills.

The person forced to work forced a stiff smile and nodded hastily.

After teasing Liu Chuang for a bit, Kevin saw that the Crocodile God Soton in front of him looked about 70-80% full, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Those that are wild should be brought home and domesticated.

P. S.: I tried another combination of mythology and storyline, and it almost made me believe it.

Soton = Sobek

Chapter 910, Section 951: A Step to the Stomach

"Is it delicious?"

"Tasty!"

This time, Soton nodded vigorously, his taste buds completely conquered by the delicious food of the great Chinese food-loving empire.

"Do you want to eat this for every meal from now on?"

"Think about it!"

Soton's eyes lit up with anticipation, but after a moment, he hesitated and was tempted.

"Enough to fill you up?"

"Enough to fill you up!"

Kevin's tone was firm, his smile grew even brighter, and he asked enticingly.

"If we cover your meals, what if someone comes to cause trouble on our turf?"

"Cut him down!"

Soton was filled with righteous indignation. He slammed his fist on the ground and stood up, wishing he could tear those guys who were about to smash his table to pieces on the spot.

I haven't seen such authentic meal tickets in a long time. For a seasoned foodie, what's more important than eating?

"What if it's Karl comes?"

"Well..."

Soton froze, his expression hesitant.

"What you just ate was just some basic, low-skill barbecue. You've never tried any of the eight major cuisines of China, or the tens of thousands of different dishes..."

Tens of thousands! The Crocodile God Soton was stunned upon hearing this, his saliva accumulating on the ground, forming a glistening patch. After regaining his senses, he swung his claws down with murderous intent.

"That idiot Karl dumped me on Earth and didn't even provide me with food. He dared to mess with my place, and if he comes, he'll beat me to a pulp!"

"Yes, Karl is a complete idiot!"

Kevin gave a thumbs up, his goodwill towards the crocodile growing, and gently comforted it.

"Of course, this is just a hypothetical scenario; naturally, I won't actually send you to confront Death God Karl."

"That's great!"

Upon hearing this, Soton beamed with joy, all his previous concerns vanishing. At that moment, he felt that this fair-skinned young man in front of him was actually a really nice person.

So, after we went outside, we didn't eat him first.

The seemingly naive and simple-minded Crocodile God Soton, was smiling extremely happily.

However, the handsome white-haired man was also smiling, and he pulled out a voice recorder from his pocket, pressed the play button, and then twirled it between his fingers.

"So, this thing is no longer needed, right?"

Damn, they even collect dirt on people! That's awful!

Soton, who had just made a careless remark about the creator, couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he heard the boastful declaration that "Karl is a fool."

Just as the giant crocodile was about to attack, the man reached into the Spatial Rift and pulled out a bloody ram-horned demon head, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

"It's your turn to lay your cards on the table. Have you thought it through? Are you prepared to cooperate with us and accept the best treatment you can get..."

"Or are you planning to follow this wretched kid named Da Bolun and go down a dead-end path?"

The man smiled brightly and spoke gently, but the Crocodile God Soton, who had been laughing and joking just moments before, now felt as if he had thorns in his back, and a chill ran down his spine.

I didn't realize this guy was such a formidable opponent!

Crocodile God Soton put away his contempt, wiped his mouth, and looked determined and unwilling.

"I'll follow you guys, but that last round doesn't count. You guys ganged up on me; that's really unfair!"

"I want one-on-one!"

I knew it! This is your true nature. No matter how docile a crocodile may appear, it can't hide its identity as a cunning and arrogant predator.

Kevin gave a strange smile, and his gaze toward the Crocodile God Soton even revealed a hint of pity.

"One-on-one? You're in luck. An old friend on the Ju Xia Hao, who's also Beast Body life, has been itching for a fight."

The man snapped his fingers, casually tossing Soton into the Imaginary Space and throwing his weapon back as well.

Half an hour later, Sun Wukong, clad in Dark Alloy Armor and dragging a crocodile tail, arrogantly stepped out of the Spatial vortex.

The Crocodile God Soton crashed heavily to the ground, his scales torn up, nearly half of his teeth broken, and almost no part of his skin intact. His pitiful appearance was heartbreaking to behold.

It seems that Sun Wukong hit too hard, as the crocodile's forehead bulged high, its eyes were closed, and it passed out on the way.

Seeing this, Kevin shook his head pitifully.

"He's been beaten to this state, he's probably beyond saving. Let's just put him on a grill and eat him while he's hot..."

As he spoke, the man used his ability to Conceptual Replication to conjure a steel rod for piercing, raising his arm to deliver a blow straight to the crocodile's stomach.

"No, no, no! I give up! I'm willing to do it!"

At that moment, Soton, who was still half-dead, was startled and jumped up, hurriedly agreeing.

Kevin's lips curled up slightly, but this time it had a condescending tone.

As the three pairs of wings unfolded, the chilling, prison-like divine might rekindled Soton's memories of the past, shattered by the Heavenly Blade Judgment.

Another angel! And a high-class one, almost as good as the Three Kings!

If you want to show your skills sooner, what's the point of me fighting you one-on-one?

The Crocodile God Soton, who had suffered a series of blows, was extremely depressed.

However, because he missed the best opportunity to join the company, after being formally subdued, Frigga's runes placed an invisible shackle around his neck.

Upon seeing the Spatial Rift, Soton, one of the seven or eight Main God Level of Asgard, sniffed, feeling a slight sourness in his nose.

After that, things became much simpler. He took a liking to Liu Chuang's crocodile-making skills and readily joined the Super God Academy team.

Furthermore, under the onslaught of baijiu, beer, and barbecue, this ultimate foodie quickly became so happy that he lost his bearings and became increasingly satisfied with his choices.

Inside the aircraft carrier, laughter and noise filled the air. Kevin stood on the deck enjoying the breeze, while Sun Wukong, dressed in a black tracksuit, leaned against the wall, facing Kevin, and whispered something in a low voice.

"Now that things are settled here, Old Sun, plan to take Ali back to Flower Fruit Mountain."

"Are you... about to break through?"

Kevin sensed a sharp edge in that aura, and after a moment of thought, turned back to ask.

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, his tone somewhat serious.

"Hmm, more or less..."

"In addition, Old Du has extracted a lot of information about the evolution of Beast Body life from the data of Ruins of Kunlun, which will be of great help to Ali."
