Chapter 711: Chapter 359: Return_2
This kind of hunger, when compounded in the minds of a hundred thousand people, is so intense that it’s almost overflowing, forming a kind of energy similar to ghost energy!
Even those with some sense among them can’t maintain it under such a tsunami of hunger.
However, these fusion people are still a bit torn. Just having arrived here, they are about to indulge in a big feast—isn’t it a bit improper?
As descendants of ancient mechanics, they still care about appearances.
But appearances can’t be eaten, and they really can’t hold it in, what should they do...
In their dilemma, these people’s expressions became even more peculiar.
Tie Long and the others were naturally more shocked and had already secretly prepared to act.
These ten strange people were too terrifying.
The aura they emitted was practically like they were about to eat someone, so fierce and evil!
Standing beside these ten fusion people, Tie Long and the others had the feeling that they would suddenly erupt, transform into monsters, and eat them all!
Without Mr. Su Yu, Tie Long and the others had no confidence at all in facing such terrifying enemies; they couldn’t even handle one, let alone ten?
"It seems there’s only one choice left..."
Just as Tie Long and the others were pondering whether fighting desperately could inflict any harm on these fusion people,
the grand and massive figure of Su Yu appeared on the horizon.
"Mr. Su Yu is back!"
Tie Long and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief; with Su Yu back, there was no need to worry anymore.
At this moment, Su Yu still maintained the transformation state of the Light-Cast Giant.
Using this transformation depletes with every use, and although he hadn’t fought the Ghost Emperor, Su Yu was unwilling to waste it and did not cancel the transformation.
He intended to take advantage of the absence of battle to thoroughly study the mystery of this transformation.
As soon as Su Yu flew back, he noticed the odd atmosphere at the scene.
"The great Mr. Su Yu, how was the Ghost Emperor? Are you unharmed?"
Tie Long’s voice echoed in Su Yu’s mind as he prayed.
Previously, Tie Long hadn’t prayed, fearing to disturb Su Yu’s fight with the Ghost Emperor. Now that Su Yu was back, there was naturally no need to worry.
"That Ghost Emperor was a mere incarnation and has fled, challenging me to a final battle in three months."
"How are you all?"
Su Yu briefly answered in his mind before asking.
Hearing the mention of a final battle, Tie Long was startled, but had no time to dwell on it and quickly recounted what had just happened.
He especially emphasized the strange state of the ten fusion people.
"Hmm? Let me see?"
Su Yu landed in front of the ten fusion people, staring at them intently.
Indeed, these ten people were peculiar. Even with Su Yu back, they only greeted respectfully, then turned collectively, staring firmly in the direction of a grand dining hall in the Mechanical City.
Their eyes were blood-red, and drool was about to drip from their mouths.
Su Yu found it amusing and immediately understood what was going on with these people.
"Tie Long, Xie Yitian..."
Su Yu spoke with authority.
His form was enormous now, and his voice was like heavenly thunder descending upon the world, filled with supreme majesty.
"Yes! Mr. Su Yu!"
The two who were called immediately responded with respect, knowing that Su Yu must have important plans.
"These people will be a part of our Mechanical City from now on. They are simply weary from travel and quite hungry."
"Take these ten people and find... ten large dining halls in the city! The kind that can accommodate tens of thousands."
"Assign one person to each hall and prepare food and drinks for ten thousand people in each hall."
Su Yu ordered.
He was arranging the dining situation for these ten fusion people.
Since these ten fusion people would be a part of the Mechanical City from now on, Su Yu naturally had to take good care of them.
"Ah?"
Tie Long and the others were a bit bewildered by this, thinking, ten people, each with one large dining hall, and needing food for ten thousand people.
Can these ten people really eat that much? Are they really some ancient beasts in disguise? Might they actually eat people?
Full of doubts, they even exercised their imagination, associating a lot of unrelated things.
"Hurry, make it quick, this is an order!"
Su Yu urged.
Su Yu’s tone was somewhat solemn because he discovered that the powerful hunger had already affected the rationality of these fusion people.
If not alleviated soon, they might really start eating people.
Su Yu even perceptively noticed the overflowing hunger emotions around these fusion people.
The intensity of these emotions even surprised Su Yu a little.
Previously, when Su Yu brought food for these mechanic descendants, they ate and drank heartily, and then in their drunken dreams, they worshipped Su Yu as a god of gourmet.
This spiritually charged desire from hunger had helped Su Yu quickly ascend to nine-star top level strength.
But the spiritual faith power from back then was probably not even one percent of what it is now.
However, Su Yu couldn’t make use of the hunger emotions of these fusion people right now.
After all, without the corresponding god position or profession, unless these fusion people prayed to Su Yu again, he could only access this power to a limited extent.
But at this moment, these fusion people had nearly lost their reason and were likely praying in their hearts for wine and meat; it was hard to say if they even remembered Su Yu.
"...God of Gourmet? More like God of Gluttony, or perhaps God of Hunger?"
Su Yu pondered silently.
If such a deity really exists to rule over hunger, given this world’s character, it would likely be a Great Evil God.
Perhaps not any less than Brutality or Pain.
And maybe this Gluttony or Hunger God might be even stronger?
After all, hunger and appetite have always been intertwined with human civilization, perhaps even with most life across the universe.
Over these years, who knows how much tremendous hunger emotions have accumulated in subspace.
So if there is a deity managing hunger, it must be extremely powerful.
Su Yu had inexplicably caught the attention of the Pain Evil God and certainly didn’t want to provoke another God of Gluttony.
Now extremely powerful, Su Yu understood even more the dangers of this world. Just the loss of control over some hunger emotions could possibly attract the gaze from the depths of subspace.
"Yes! Mr. Su Yu!"
Tie Long and the others were shocked to hear Su Yu say it was an order and knew this matter was serious, so they didn’t dare to neglect it and promptly notified their subordinates to make arrangements.
Meanwhile, they cautiously extended an invitation to the ten fusion people: "You’ve come a long way, joining Mechanical City, and from now on, you’re all part of Mechanical City, so of course, there has to be a welcome banquet."
"Please, come with us, the banquet will be ready soon..."
The ten fusion people, who were originally smelling the aroma of food wafting from afar, their eyes red and drooling, had little rationality left.
But hearing Tie Long and the others’ words, they immediately regained clarity, their eyes sparkling: "Banquet!?"
"Ahem, how could we refuse, let’s go then, when does the banquet start..."
They instinctively became polite.
However, their mouths were being polite, but their legs weren’t—they started moving toward the direction of the food aroma even before Tie Long and the others could lead the way.
"..."
Tie Long and the others were somewhat at a loss for words. Where did these guys come from? They really weren’t treating themselves as outsiders.
They quickly followed, arranging food for these people.
Preparing food for a million people in a short time was truly quite a task, but fortunately, the Mechanical City had a large number of intelligent mechanics, so whipping up hundreds of thousands of dishes was a breeze.
"Xiao Shengyin!"
Su Yu called again, seemingly with another order.
"Yes! Mr. Su Yu."
Xiao Shengyin responded respectfully in haste.
His attitude toward Su Yu now had subtly changed.
Earlier, although Xiao Shengyin was respectful to Su Yu, there was more respect for a life-saving favor, and for Su Yu’s strength.
Actually, in interactions, his attitude was quite casual.
After all, Xiao Shengyin was quite old, with white beard and eyebrows, and Su Yu, being young, always seemed to him like dealing with a junior, making it hard to feel tense.
Even though it was always said that Su Yu was an ancient mighty returning, hadn’t he not fully awakened? He still looked just like a young man.
Elders always have their own bit of stubbornness.
But now, that attitude of Xiao Shengyin’s was no more.
There was nothing to be done about it; Su Yu now was simply too enormous, too majestic, with aura and strength that were overwhelming!
