Toriko: Gourmet Chat Group-Chapter 362 - 361: A Stirring in the Final Land

Chapter 361: A Stirring in the Final Land

RUMBLE—

On this day, a roar that seemed to come from ancient times echoed through the entire universe. Every living creature in the Gourmet Universe could clearly feel the vibration.

Stars, space, even time itself seemed to tremble. Most people had no idea what was happening and fell into a panic of the unknown.

"Mr. Toriko, what’s happening? Is it an earthquake?" Komatsu asked in a panicked voice, looking nervous.

"I don’t know either. I’ll ask the White Ogre." Toriko shook his head. He wasn’t sure what the situation was.

When the universe shook, he felt his Gourmet Cells resonate. It seemed like no small matter.

Toriko closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the space of his Appetite Demons.

The three Ogres were sitting there, leisurely enjoying their food, looking completely relaxed.

"White Ogre, what happened?"

The White Ogre said calmly, "Mr. Toriko, that came from the Final Land."

Toriko said in surprise, "The Final Land?"

He had heard the White Ogre mention this place before.

About 13.7 billion years ago, the Final Land, where the Gourmet Gods resided, exploded due to the inflation of Appetite. This was also known as the Gourmet Big Bang. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Although the Final Land exploded back then, the foundation remained. Over 10 billion years have passed, so its vitality should be mostly recovered."

The Final Land is the core of all Gourmet Universes. It can be damaged, but it won’t disappear.

The Gourmet Gods scattered by the Gourmet Big Bang would return and begin reconstruction and repairs.

"This commotion... something must have happened in the Final Land."

The White Ogre wasn’t worried. The Gourmet Gods are powerful; after all, they survived the Gourmet Big Bang.

So-called "Food Luck" is differentiated from the Gourmet Energy of the Gourmet Gods.

"I see." Toriko clenched his fist, looking at the universe with burning eyes.

The paradise of gourmet food... the Final Land... I’m really looking forward to it.

The three Ogres shook their heads. An anomaly in the Gourmet Land meant something big was about to happen.

Some of the "old-timers" who couldn’t find the Final Land would probably make a move too.

Kenji also felt the vibration. He immediately mobilized his Star Vision, eventually locating the source.

The commotion there resonated with all things... no, with countless gourmet foods. Was that the source?

"Firefly, is that direction the ’Final Land’?" Kenji patted the floating mermaid.

[My home is there.]

Firefly blinked, confused. Why is the Final Land making such a noise? This was the first time she’d felt it too.

"Tsk tsk tsk. Something happens before we even get there." Kenji clicked his tongue.

"To use Zebra’s words... they’re getting carried away."

"The Final Land... the origin of the Gourmet Universe... what happened there?" Atashino asked. She couldn’t see that far.

"Probably a battle between Gourmet Gods. Now that the Final Land is revealing its aura, the Gourmet Gods wandering the universes are gathering there. Conflict is inevitable."

Kenji looked over. Gourmet Gods aren’t weak.

There’s more than one Gourmet Family in the Final Land. Conflict between them is normal.

"Get ready. We’re heading to the Final Land too. The ’Ultimate Ingredient’... my Full Course Menu is about to be complete." Kenji chose not to go immediately. Let the bullets fly for a while.

"Who’s stronger? Gourmet Gods or Aeons?"

Hearing the word "God," Big Herta became interested.

"Gourmet Gods," Kenji answered without much thought.

The Gourmet Big Bang was roughly equivalent to the Big Bang of the universe. Gourmet Gods survived that explosion. If it were Aeons... how many could survive? That proves the resilience of the Gourmet Gods’ bodies.

...

"Slime, how would your strength rank in the Final Land?" Ichiryu asked.

He was thinking about going to the Final Land to eat together.

"Ichiryu, put your heart back in your stomach. With the two of us working together, we can definitely slay!"

"We can become the supreme Kings of the Universe!"

Don Slime said confidently. He used to be a King who dominated a universe; destroying stars was effortless for him.

His compatibility with Ichiryu was ridiculously high. Ichiryu could handle his power without any weakening. Ichiryu plus him... that was a genuine King of the Universe.

"Slaying and all that... if we can talk peacefully, there’s no need to fight," Ichiryu stroked his beard.

"I’m not interested in being King of the Universe. Don, do you like being King?"

"Do you want to... cure your ’King addiction’?"

If possible, sitting down and enjoying a meal together, with smiles on everyone’s faces... that was the scene he wanted to see.

"Ichiryu, you..."

Don Slime sighed. Ichiryu never forgot his original intention. It left Don Slime speechless. His host was simply a saint.

But... this was Ichiryu. The only person he, the former King of the Universe, respected. The only one who left him speechless.

As for wanting to be King of the Universe... he wasn’t interested anymore. Living with Ichiryu... this life was something he’d never had before.

After meeting Ichiryu, his stomach, his heart, and his cells were satisfied. Not satisfied by food... he had also gained his favorite name.

"But if they won’t listen to reason... then we’ll have to resort to physics," Ichiryu said, troubled.

He knew very well that beings like Gourmet Gods might not be easy to reason with.

"Hahaha! I specialize in physics! You handle the reason, I’ll handle the physics!" Don Slime laughed.

Exactly! Fists are the hard truth!

Battle! So good!!!

Hearing Don Slime’s excited voice, Ichiryu shook his head and laughed.

Next, I should go find Jiro and the others. Everyone will definitely have ideas.

At the same time, somewhere in the universe, a very inconspicuous Space Shell was parked next to a Cheese Planet.

"Oho! What’s happening over there? Boys, let’s go check it out!"

Zongeh’s attention was caught. He was interested in the source of the vibration and had to go see, completely ignoring any danger.

"Boss... are we really going there?"

One of his followers looked haggard, as if he had been through a lot. He looked very weathered.

Although they were still alive, they had encountered too many thrilling events since coming to space. Surviving in one piece was truly a blessing of luck.

The commotion over there... it looked like a clash of titans. Small fry like them shouldn’t go.

"Who do you think I am?! I’m Zongeh! Move us closer!"
