Soon, the group ca together—though it was just a handful of them. As for the Ten-Shell Five and the others, Yuuki had already rewarded them with so AIR, so their presence wasn't needed.
As everyone consud the ANOTHER before them, they discovered that everything around them had transford.
"This is... the earth has actually turned into the appearance of an ingredient... no, it's fake, it's my illusion. IT'S BECAUSE THE EARTH HAS BECO DELICIOUS THAT I HAVE THIS IDEA!"
Granny Chiyo was a bit surprised to see the ground under her feet turn into a giant cake.
"Is this the effect of unlocking a new Sense of Taste?? Because I have the taste to eat everything—so I see everything as an ingredient. Not to ntion the ground under my feet, even the few of us are like this."
Jiro glanced at the few people around him. The phrase "beautiful enough to eat" had beco literal reality—
"According to the rules of the world—we humans are also ingredients, so it's normal for this to happen. And after eating ANOTHER, there's another important thing, and that's mory!"
Yuuki said.
Hearing this, everyone imdiately nodded.
Indeed, what they had gained this ti was also mory, a large amount of mory. These mories were all forgotten by everyone—
—No, it was incorrect to say forgotten. It should be that they had been ignored, things that they couldn't rember.
These mories never truly disappeared from a person's mind—they were simply buried beyond recall. But ANOTHER's effect could retrieve those lost fragnts, extending all the way back to their first monts of consciousness, even mories from within their mother's womb.
It had to be said—ANOTHER was absolutely incredible.

While everyone was consuming ANOTHER, back in the Human World, Don Sli was having a conversation with Ichiryu.
"This is a good thing. If you can be resurrected, isn't that better?"
After hearing Don Sli's thoughts, Ichiryu didn't dismiss the idea—instead, he congratulated him. He understood exactly what Don Sli represented, and he genuinely considered him his closest friend. His bond with Don Sli ran deeper than with anyone else.
The reason was very simple, because Don Sli was in his body. They were constant companions, sharing every mont together. In this situation, it would be strange if their relationship wasn't good. Don Sli had even taken on so of Ichiryu's characteristics over ti.
"You don't have any reluctance? Once I leave your body—you won't be able to use my power..."
At the ntion of this, Don Sli's expression imdiately darkened. He knew all too well that Ichiryu refused to use his power—not even when fighting Midora. There was virtually no one else who could force Ichiryu to tap into that strength, so he almost never accessed it.
The truth was, once Don Sli left, Ichiryu's combat abilities would take a serious hit. But Ichiryu didn't seem concerned about that. His natural strength was more than sufficient.
Don Sli's Cells would remain in his body regardless, and he'd already developed his power to an acceptable level—that was enough for him.
"Everyone deserves to live, right?? You've fought for this for so long—resurrection is your dream. What right do I have to stand in your way??"
"Just... when you co back, don't forget about your old friend."
Ichiryu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Don Sli fell silent. He knew these words ca from genuine respect—Ichiryu ant every syllable. This was exactly why he enjoyed being with Ichiryu.
When talking to him, there was no need to worry about hidden agendas or deception. Ichiryu was soone who showed his authentic self to everyone, without pretense.
"I know. After I'm resurrected, I'll co to the Human World to find you."
Don Sli nodded.
After that, he directly disappeared.

At the sa ti, a new order was issued on the Blue Grill side, which was to accelerate the cooking of Acacia's Full Course nu. Don Sli even directly found Yuuki, because Acacia's Full Course nu hadn't been completely cooked yet.
In the original story, Komatsu and the others had lent a hand when they arrived here. So now, to speed up the cooking process, they needed to find Yuuki. The other ingredients had already been handled, but cooking GOD was proving to be a real challenge.
"Cooking the dregs of GOD? I can handle that—but what's in it for ?"
Yuuki asked.
"I know that. I never expected you to help for free. COOK GOD FOR , AND WHEN IT'S FINISHED, THIS ENTIRE COUNTRY WILL BE YOURS!"
Don Sli's next words stunned everyone. Everything here—this entire kingdom—had been built by him. He'd always been the ruler of this country, but now he was offering to hand the throne over to Yuuki.
"Give the Blue Grill? Forget it. I'm not interested in managing a country. But I'm quite interested in special privileges."
Yuuki replied with a smile. He could help, but he had no interest in ruling the country. Managing a nation was far too much hassle. All he wanted was access to its power.
"I see... Then the ruler is still , but I will add a higher position. I will help you manage it. You only need to enjoy the power here."
Don Sli didn't waste any words. Managing this country was a very easy matter for him, so he agreed.
"In that case, it's a deal!"
Yuuki nodded.
Since Don Sli had made the offer, Yuuki naturally wouldn't turn it down. He was also curious about the process of cooking GOD. While the original story had shown Komatsu and the others preparing it, seeing it firsthand would be completely different from reading about it in the manga.
——————
Soon, Yuuki arrived at the place where Don Sli was preparing Acacia's Full Course nu and laid eyes on GOD. The mont he saw it, he could hear the Voice of the Ingredient.
Even though this GOD was just leftover scraps, it was more than enough for Yuuki to study.
"You're not affected at all. You're really special. If it were anyone else, the mont they saw GOD, the Appetite Demon in their body would co out."
Don Sli looked at Yuuki.
If it had been anyone else—like Toriko and the others in the original story—just seeing an apple touched by GOD's aura had been enough to force their Appetite Demons to erge. So for Yuuki to remain this composed after seeing the actual remnants was sothing even he hadn't anticipated.
"Well, I can hear the ingredient's voice. It makes sense that I'd be a bit different, right? We don't need to keep cooking for now. Take that piece of at out—I'll handle the cooking from here."
Yuuki said.
The mont he saw the at, he'd already heard the ingredient's voice and understood the true cooking thod. GOD's real preparation didn't require all these elaborate techniques—it was purely a test of the chef's own skill.
Hearing this, Don Sli wasted no ti and imdiately ordered soone to retrieve the at. Yuuki didn't hesitate either, reaching out to touch the piece directly with his hand. The next instant, he vanished before everyone's eyes.
"WHAT'S GOING ON?"
Seeing this scene, everyone present was taken aback.
"I don't know. But since this kid knows how to cook, there's no problem. We'll just wait here."
Don Sli didn't waste any words and just waited here.
——————
On the other side, Yuuki found himself in an extraordinary space. Massive structures resembling DNA chains floated here, but instead of genetic material, they were composed entirely of different ingredients.
From this vantage point, he could see down to Earth's surface far below. Countless ingredients covered the landscape, but these were unlike anything he recognized. The vast majority were completely foreign to him.
It was obvious these weren't ingredients from the current era. Over billions of years of evolution, Earth's ingredients had been replaced countless tis over.
Many of these ancient foods had long since vanished from the world. Of course, so extinct ingredients were still preserved within the Casket Crab' storage, but those were rarely brought out into the open.
Cooking GOD was actually surprisingly straightforward—direct and brutal in its simplicity. You had to cook every single one of these countless ingredients.
It didn't matter whether you'd seen them before or had any experience preparing them. As long as you successfully cooked all of these ingredients—you'd cooked GOD.
What Yuuki was seeing now was just a tiny, incomplete fragnt. When the real GOD was born, it would an having to cook every single ingredient that had ever existed—from ancient tis right up to the present.
The scope was truly terrifying.
No wonder cooking GOD was ranked as the ultimate challenge, completely outclassing every other ingredient—even ANOTHER, which had taken six hundred thousand years to prepare.
——————
Of course, there was an alternative thod—using humans as fuel.
This approach could simplify the cooking process, but the resulting GOD would be inferior in quality. And since it required sacrificing human lives, Yuuki would never consider such a thing.
So Yuuki began cooking imdiately. This realm was similar to the World of Souls, but with one crucial difference—if you couldn't successfully prepare the ingredients before you, there was no way out.
That didn't concern Yuuki in the slightest. As a chef, what challenging ingredient hadn't he encountered? He'd already reached the God Chef level. He was confident that he could cook the entire GOD, let alone just the dregs now.
At this mont, Yuuki was both deeply shocked and incredibly enriched by the experience. For other chefs, cooking an ingredient like GOD would be overwhelmingly difficult—it might even drive them to complete breakdown.
But Yuuki was loving every second of it. The thrill of constantly discovering unknown ingredients and pushing his skills to new heights felt absolutely incredible.
GOD's cooking difficulty was undeniably extre, but for a skilled chef, it was also an incredible opportunity. It could quickly improve their culinary skills.
Yuuki had lost all sense of ti while working in that space, but when he finished the final component, he noticed the environnt shifting around him once again.
He was back in the real world.
The piece of GOD's dregs before him had been perfectly cooked—completely transford by his efforts.
