Chen Li: Can I Have a Bite of the [Star Cup]? Just a Little Bite (11k, continued)

"..."

Do you want to hear my reasons?

"I don't want to, and I don't need to. In this great war, anything is permissible." Gibril shook her head.

Just as Gibril wanted to capture this Ex Machina Race named Shuvi as a collectible, Gibril wouldn't be surprised if this unknown being, which was definitely not human, wanted to cut off its head as a collectible.

The only thing that made Gibril feel frustrated was that the other party was there to take advantage of the situation!

After you've exhausted your Sky Strike energy, grabbing yourself and treating you like a trophy is just too despicable!

"That makes sense." Chen Li couldn't help but nod.

Chen Li had seen the No Game Life and knew the original ending.

Chen Li originally wanted to hang Gibril up and whip her, but after hearing Gibril's reasons, he felt that what she said made a lot of sense.

"What do you want to do with me?" Gibril asked.

"I will neutralize you. If you make the Winged Race aware of the existence and threat of the human race, it will be a Destruction blow to the human race. Just like eliminating the remnants of these powers, I want to ensure that all traces are erased." Chen Li used the power of the Herrscher of the Void to dig out the land that had been soaked in the Abundance power, and then threw it into his backpack.

There are 16 races in this world, each with its own unique abilities. Chen Li doesn't want to see anything ridiculous or absurd that is actually developed using the Abundance power of the world.

This is also why Chen Li prevented Riku from coming here.

Chen Li handled it without any problems, because Chen Li's passive status as a transmigrator made Chen Li an exceptional existence, making him difficult to observe.

But Riku can be observed.

While Chen Li can certainly lead humanity to rapid rise, the decision on how to determine the development of humanity in this world, given the presence of an excellent leader like Riku, should not be left to Chen Li.

"So... you brought her back?" Riku couldn't help but ask, looking at Gibril who was being carried back by Chen Li like a duck by her wings.

"I can't just leave her there, can I? I've already dealt with the traces there. Although I don't know if there's any special connection Winged Race, I've severed all connections on this one. That's why I dared to bring her back and ask for your opinion on what to do with her," Chen Li said.

Even the river of time can be severed by the Judgment of All Things, let alone communication signals.

"My opinion..."

After learning from his wife, Ex Machina Race Shuvi member, that the ultimate goal of this 6,000-year-long eternal war was to obtain the Star Cup, a conceptual device symbolizing absolute dominion over the world, Riku chose to join the game in order to stop this incredibly boring game and formulated six rules for the ghosts (human companions) who followed him.

[One] He cannot kill anyone. Because Riku's heart does not want to kill anyone.

[Two] He will not let anyone die. Because Riku's heart does not want anyone to die.

Thirdly, it must not be discovered by anyone. Because being discovered means death.

[Fourth] Using any means is not considered fraud. Because once exposed, any fraud is no longer considered fraud.

[Five] Their rules are irrelevant to us. Because Riku felt that killing each other was utterly abhorrent.

[Six] Any violation of the above rules shall be considered a defeat. This is because Riku believes that a victory achieved by breaking the rules is worthless.

But Chen Li wasn't even from this world, and he had just saved his wife, so Riku naturally wouldn't use these six rules to restrain him.

"This is your spoils," Riku finally said.

"Since that's the case... alright then." Chen Li had already figured out a solution.

"So what do you plan to do with it?" Riku asked curiously.

"Eat."

"Uh, so... this is the type you like?" Riku was taken aback.

After using Sky Strike, Gibril, whose body regressed to that of a child, looked extremely youthful.

"..." by Chen Li.

"But I can understand. At your age, you should already have several children in our human tribes." Riku nodded.

Since humanity is a race that is barely surviving in this eternal war, it is quite normal for the age of marriage to be lowered to the point where anyone who is fertile is allowed to marry in order to ensure the continuation of the race.

"However, you two are not of the same race, so there may be reproductive isolation," Riku couldn't help but remind him.

Although Riku felt he had no right to criticize Chen Li, since Gibril, a Winged Race, was at least a living being, while his wife was even Ex Machina Race.

And Shuvi does indeed look very youthful.

"I meant eating in the literal sense, what on earth are you thinking!" Chen Li couldn't hold back any longer.

"... Trying to eat the Winged Race?" Everyone looked at Chen Li.

Even though Gibril was mentally prepared to be killed by Chen Li, after all, death is inevitable. In this great battle, no one is immune to death.

But isn't this kind of death too horrible?

"Gulp! Just kill me already!"

"Sigh, killing you would be such a waste... And don't look at me like that, my food Taiyi." Chen Li said, picking up Gibril's wings and plucking a feather, which he then put into his mouth.

"Ouch, that hurts..."

After consuming the feathers from the wings that symbolize the Winged Race, Chen Li could feel his physical abilities being enhanced, as well as an additional increase in resistance to the Winged Race.

"It tastes really good." Chen Li's eyes lit up.

"Hey, Gibril, your feathers should be able to grow back, right?" Chen Li suddenly asked.

"Of course you can. What do you want to do?" Gibril looked at the body warily.

"Of course, it's to make you my snack and to collect more snacks for me! A target with no exploitable value has no value in living. You don't really want to be eaten by me, do you? In return, I'll spare your life." Looking at Gibril, who was stubbornly looking up at him, Chen Li licked his lips.

"!!" A feeling of being swallowed up at any moment washed over Gibril's entire body.

Gibril finally realized what the aura she was sensing from Chen Li was.

That's the scent of a predator, the scent of one who reigns supreme over all things and preys on them all!

To the other party, any living being, whether it be Winged Race or even Divine Spirit Race, is merely food!

It was as if even the stars in the sky were something that belonged to the other party!

Greed, craving...

What a terrifying guy!

The other party is definitely not human!

"I know! I'll provide you with food! Whatever you want to eat, I'll get it for you! I'll listen to you on anything related to food!" Under the pressure of a certain special aura, Gibril, who was already feeling uneasy due to energy depletion, instantly broke down.

"Deal." Chen Li spread his hands, and the Forced Transaction Coin were gleaming with golden light.

"What... is this?" Gibril stared at the gold coin in Chen Li's hand, feeling as if she had fallen into a trap.

A deep pit!

A huge, deep pit!

"Forced Transaction Coin allow both parties involved in a transaction to Force Execution their promises," Chen Li explained.

Gibril looked as if she had lost her parents, while Riku, standing next to her, suddenly brightened up.

If this Forced Transaction Coin system becomes the rule of the game, making it inviolable by everyone, then...

"The Devouring Star God's [Taste] is really useful. Child, you must have been terrified, right?" Chen Li smiled and patted Gibril's head.

This Miraculous Item Gourmet Cells isn't scary at all.

"The Devouring Star God?"

"Divine Spirit Race from another world... or rather, an existence far surpassing Divine Spirit Race. But it's difficult to compare them due to different Worldviews. Because I've eaten it, I can imitate its scent, or rather, its aura." Chen Li shook his head, not elaborating further.

"..." As for Chen Li's explanation, Gibril did not feel relaxed at all because she knew that the other party's aura was imitation; on the contrary, she became even more nervous.

After all, he had even eaten the thing called the Devouring Star God, which meant that the other party's true strength must be much greater!

If Sky Strike is the only named attack of the Winged Race, and also their strongest offensive method, then God Strike is the all-out attack unleashed by War God Artosh, the creator of the Winged Race and the strongest Divine Spirit Race- race, using them as the medium. It is essentially a divine version of Winged Race Strike. Its power is said to be able to pierce through multiple planets in a single line.

As the strongest war god, Altshu could easily have won the great battle if he had wanted to, but he didn't.

Judging solely from this level of power, the God of War seems somewhat insignificant compared to the Devouring Star God who treats devouring planets as mere playthings. However, as the "strongest" God of War, if something even stronger appears in this world, then the God of War will also become stronger...

Therefore, Chen Li will not make any comparisons.

If an Aeon were to come to this world and actually turn the God of War into Aeon, that would be quite interesting... although Chen Li felt it probably wouldn't be that exaggerated.

"Well..." Riku was about to say something, but he shut his mouth when he saw Gibril.

"Snap!" Chen Li snapped his fingers, Gibril's body, which had been transformed into a child, instantly returned to normal.

Surprised to find she had recovered Gibril looked at Chen Li with ill intent...

"Don't look at me like that, or I won't mind having a meal of stewed mushrooms with Jibril. Besides, your recovery is temporary. If I want, you can become helpless again at any time. Go outside and get me some Spirit Remains. Now that I'm in this world, I want to taste the saltiness of Black Ash. Remember, don't do anything sneaky, and don't hurt anyone," Chen Li ordered Gibril.

"Okay." Because of the Forced Transaction Coins, Gibril had to obey Chen Li's orders whenever it involved food.

If you prevent the other party from engaging in underhanded tactics, they won't be able to do so.

Chen Li could even order Gibril to bring Chen Li the God of War, because in Chen Li's eyes, gods are also food.

However, this was clearly sending Gibril to her death.

"You can eat Black Ash too?" Riku couldn't help but ask.

Elf Races rank 3rd out of 16 races. Elves are the power source for most magic, while powerful destructive magic can directly lead to their death.

It can be considered a kind of living "magic".

Most elves are concentrated in their erogenous zones, for example... the wings of the Winged Race.

But what Chen Li just ate was a living elf.

The Spirit Remains, also known as Black Ash, are the remnants left behind after the death of Elf Race.

This substance is an extremely deadly poison with strong corrosive properties, but most races other than humans have innate methods of dealing with it.

This thing has another characteristic—because it is the product of the death of Elf Race, and all spells require elves, it can block the detection of spells.

For example, the reason Riku suffered extensive burns all over his body and was almost unable to use his left arm and left eye was because he smeared Black Ash on his body.

Humans cannot detect the presence of elves, so they can only resort to this clumsy method to prevent others from seeing through their "schemes."

Riku even inhaled it into his body; if it weren't for Shuvi, Ex Machina Race, pouring the antidote into Riku's mouth, Riku would have died long ago.

That's why Riku asked that question.

"Anything that enters my body through my mouth will be eaten by me and will not cause me any harm."

"Thank you so much for your help. If it weren't for you, Shuvi might have..." Riku expressed his gratitude to Chen Li after Gibril left.

"Don't mention it. It's fate that we met. And even if Shuvi dies, it's no big deal, because I have Revival Artifacts here."

Riku felt conflicted upon hearing the first part of the sentence, but Riku feelings became even more complicated upon hearing the second part.

Riku felt like he had struck gold.

That's not quite right; it's more like Bao found himself.

"But your wife doesn't seem very happy," Chen Li said.

"Maybe it's because Shuvi said she shared her feelings for me as a precious example with the entire Ex Machina Race..." Riku said helplessly.

The Ex Machina Race is a race that is closely integrated with reality yet is exceptionally advanced. Information received by a single machine will be transmitted to the Command Unit, the Linked Unit, and the All-Linked Command Unit Eins, and then shared with all Ex Machina Races.

Originally, Shuvi was trying to understand the human heart, but due to theoretical flaws, many contradictions arose, and she was eventually disconnected from the "Linked Unit"—and was abandoned.

But because Shuvi felt she wouldn't live to see Riku, she shared her feelings (her research on "heart") with the entire Ex Machina Race, hoping Ex Machina Race would help Riku fulfill his wish to end the war.

If Shuvi were dead, everything Shuvi would have meaning, but Shuvi is still alive.

She feels like she's done something horrible to herself.

Because when all the Ex Machina Races accept Shuvi's feelings for Riku, it means that all the Ex Machina Races have fallen in love with Riku.

Of course, Shuvi didn't know that this was called n*r.

"But that's not important. I remember you told me at the beginning that you had a plan to restore humanity's sight from the shadows?" Riku asked.

"There's more than one plan now. Here, take this Divine Object of Abundance. It will continuously heal your body. By the time we finish chatting, you'll be almost fully healed." Chen Li handed the Divine Object of Abundance to Riku.

The Aeon of Abundance did indeed help Chen Li a lot.

Riku is in much Shuvi, so he can be cured without using the Grain of Abundance.

"Thank you," Riku said again.

The moment Riku received the ear of wheat, he felt a slight itch in his previously blind left eye...
