Deathly silence descended suddenly.

Outside the arena, even all the Chef Demons were speechless.

A pint of black beer, as dark as ink, was placed on the bar, as if it occupied the axis of the entire world, drawing everyone's gaze, not allowing them to look away.

Just by looking, one felt a wave of drowsiness, as if falling asleep.

This was merely a slight impact, not even enough to be considered a residual wave.

The precious and terrifying Disaster had been entirely condensed in the glass of beer, and once released... not only the entire underground square but also the Li Jian Mansion above and the entire hilltop would be engulfed by the breath from Hell.

Not pursuing deliciousness, but turning towards extreme lethality and corrosiveness...

This is truly, nothing less than an Abyss Bomb!

"What's going on, Inugami Old House..." Behind the curtain, the black-toothed court official also panicked: "Why would such a dangerous thing appear in a Chef Demon duel, quickly, make them stop!"

"Please forgive my inability to do so."

The elderly Inugami bowed his head, expressionless, apologizing: "All of this is in accordance with the rules of the Chef Demon duel. Besides, even if one wanted to stop those two contestants, they absolutely would refuse, wouldn't they? These foreign Chef Demons, in their eyes, are arrogant fellows without any reverence, who might offend the lord's body..."

"So utterly disrespectful, I represent the Former Emperor! Is the Li Jian family so fearless of their sovereigns! Don't be too presumptuous!"

Then, another mocking voice sounded: "After all, you are just a worthless coward who hasn't seen much, as the Former Emperor's envoy, just sit up straight and watch the competition! Hah, such a weakling won't last even a day in the General's entourage..."

"You coarse brute, what are you saying!"

"Didn't I make it clear enough? Do you want me to recite a poem for you?"

In the argument between the two, Inugami still showed no expression, like a stone figure bowing his head, allowing both sides' mockery and critique, nodding respectfully.

Meanwhile, the competition continued.

"Truly terrifying."

Miss Huaizhi lowered her head, staring at the abyssal mirage floating in the black beer, feeling a genuine awe: "How much death it must take to pile up such a magnificent sight?"

In the beer's foam, countless withered Corpse Mountains flickered momentarily, then quickly disappeared.

That was death, the remnants left by death.

The traces left by extinction.

"You should understand, shouldn't you? It's the quality that is the true essence compared to quantity."

Now, under the shroud of darkness, like a demon in Hell, Elisa smiled: "Care to try it?"

"If I knew earlier, I should have cheated as well."

Huai Shi sighed softly, reaching out to grasp the handle of the beer glass, finally feeling the evil consequence brought by confidence: "I shouldn't have given up the first move."

Originally thought to be a formidable opponent, yet unexpectedly, the opponent was beyond that category, but rather a Tyrannosaurus Rex in a vest.

However, this was still within the acceptable range.

Someone who was even under a forced rest order from the archaeology team, prohibiting her from entering Hell, could hardly be a good character to deal with, right?

"Underestimating people will cost you, that's the lesson."

Elisa looked into her eyes, solemnly, once more telling her: "Concede, Miss Huaizhi, it's just a duel, not worth risking your life, I don't want to kill you either."

"Is that what you think? Then it seems my odds of winning have slightly increased."

SuZi smiled, raising her eyes to tell her: "Thank you for your mercy, Elisa. But haven't you also underestimated me?"

Before her words fell, she lifted the beer glass.

Drinking the Disaster Crystal purified in Hell, in one go!

Embracing death.

Just as if embracing it countless times before!

The final essence of malice from the former ruler, a curse named Hurt, erupted from within Huai Shi's shell, engulfing everything.

His actions came to an abrupt halt.

The fragile beer glass in his hand silently weathered away into dust.

Only a drop of remaining beer fell to the ground, instantly corroding through the tabletop, downward, piercing through the iron stone floor, finally sinking into the deep earth layers.

Vanished without a trace.

Yet the entire underground square was suddenly illuminated by red warning lights, sharp and piercing sounds burst forth.

The Super Great-scale Depthometer issued a warning of being overburdened.

Under the erosion of this single drop of beer, it could not maintain the depth of Current Circumstances!

"This can hardly be called cooking, right?"

On the spectator stand, Chef Demon Guo shook his head and sighed: "This kind of rough usage, what's the difference from a bomb? Nowadays young people, one after another, why don't they take cooking seriously?"

He lifted his foot, casually kicking a bamboo basket at his feet, causing a gap to open in the crevice. In the darkness of the bamboo basket, a large shadow emerged.

Soon, the invisible gravity pulled all the leaking Abyss sediment, floating into the bamboo basket.

Quickly, it went silent again.

In the silence, only Miss Huaizhi remained seated in place.

Under the fragile shell, came the crisp sound of porcelain cracking, and the face... suddenly shattered!

Behind the cracked face, darkness burst forth, spreading like a waterfall in a wild torrent.

Endless disaster surged along with the curse from within, causing Huai Shi's soul to tremble, being overwhelmed, beginning to dissolve slowly.
