Several more ethereal demonic figures, born from within the purple ring, are carrying the world's delicacies and fine wines to the giant's side.

"Sweetie, open your mouth, open it wider!"

Some of the demons even went so far as to pinch the giant's nose to force him to open his mouth; it's unclear where they learned this trick from.

Even from tens of meters above the ground, Aaron felt he could smell the deliciousness of the food and—a strange, nauseating odor.

It doesn't come from the food itself, but from the body's instinctive resistance to eating.

Those unparalleled delicacies were poured into the giant's mouth, and swallowed down with the movement of his throat.

The demons, whose forms were both beautiful and ugly, lay in the giant's arms, patiently waiting for the giant's face to reveal a lustful expression.

This thing is really hard to corrupt. When they got Fugen, they just stuffed a dagger inside.

However, when it came to dealing with this person, their methods had been going on for almost eight hundred years without any progress.

But all they waited for was a hint of shyness from the giant's face:

"Um, I'm actually a bit hungry, want some more?"

The giant looked somewhat embarrassed, after all, he had just said that he didn't really get any pleasure from binge eating and was now genuinely hungry.

The demons were furious. They had not sensed the giant's desire. They angrily threw down their plates and glasses and then walked away.

The stone house fell again and crashed to the ground.

The giant raised his hand and called out:

"Hey, don't go! I'm really hungry this time, have something to eat!"

The giant called out for a long time, but no one responded. He could only hang his hands in dejection before he saw the bald young man standing outside the stone house.

"Another one coming to see me? I don't eat people, go away."

The giant stepped out of the stone house and began digging a pit in the ground next to it. He dug until he found groundwater to wash his face, first tidying up his beard. After several hours of work, he finally climbed out.

"Phew—you're still here?"

He glanced at the other person lazily; he was bald, which reminded him of many bald brothers.

Aaron waited patiently for the giant to finish his work before smiling and speaking:

"What is your name? Are you trapped inside this ring?"

The giant murmured in surprise, "Hmm?"

He sat up, strolled over, and met Aaron's gaze through the purple ring:

"Can you see the prison that binds me?"

"Are you perhaps a new trick devised by those demons to make me derive pleasure from gluttony and be captured by the Lord of Pleasure?"

The giant, his face full of disdain, pointed to his stomach:

"The joy of eating does not come from the food itself, but from being with your comrades and fellow soldiers."

"Those demons actually look at me with such base desires. What, do you think I'm a little dog that would wag its tail at the slightest touch of a bone?"

Aaron said helplessly, "You still haven't told me your name. Actually, I think of you as my brother. I am Aaron Will."

After he finished speaking, he saw the giant roll on the ground and laugh loudly:

"I really don't know this name. My older brother? I think the second brother doesn't have this name."

He finally spoke and said his name:

"Listen up! I am the great Lord of the Space Wolves! The Alpha Wolf of Fenris! The blade of humanity's emperor to conquer the galaxy!"

“I am Lehmann Russ!”

Ruth howled loudly, completely unaware that he looked just like a little dog lying on the ground, rolling around with its belly exposed.

Ruth!

Aaron was overjoyed; he had heard of his brother's name many times before.

Now that I see him, although he is unkempt and doesn't look very good, he is still my younger brother.

There may be many excellent qualities, but they are simply hidden by this appearance, waiting to be discovered by oneself.

"Ruth, my brother!"

Aaron shouted loudly, demanding that the unsightly purple ring be removed.

With this thought in mind, he was indeed able to cross the circle and enter the stone house. This sight startled Ruth so much that he jumped up from the ground and asked in horror:

"Are you the Lord of Pleasure?"

Only Slaanesh himself can freely enter and exit the Six Rings. Of course, the Six Rings in a stereotypical sense refer to the six areas of Slaanesh's domain that test different desires.

It's not actually a loop.

Because of his unique nature, Slaanesh was unwilling to leave a Primarch who could not be corrupted in the Warp, so he restrained the power of the Ring of Gluttony and trapped himself in Sononio.

Even the Slaanesh demons move in and out of the ring, arriving via the warp.

The person before me was able to physically overcome a barrier beyond the physical realm to enter the Ring of Gluttony; perhaps only the Lord of Pleasure himself and his third brother could accomplish that.

However, Ruth learned from the demon guarding him that the third brother had gone out to play role-playing games and had not returned.

Therefore, after much thought, his terrible brain came to a conclusion: the person before him was the Lord of Pleasure!

Aaron couldn't understand Ruth's logic for a moment, so he simply sat cross-legged in front of his brother and asked:

"You're trapped here, is there any way to get out?"

Ruth restrained his body, trying to curl up into a ball, picked up a stone from the ground, and carefully threw it at Aaron. Yes, it was a living entity.

He asked seriously:

"You are truly not the Lord of Pleasure? Why is the power of the Ring of Gluttony completely ineffective against you?"

Aaron frowned: "I understand your caution. Well, tell me how I can gain your trust."

Ruth's face also showed signs of distress over this issue, and she quickly proposed a solution:

"As for the Lord of Mankind, didn't you say you were my brother? Let's talk about our father."

Aaron asked curiously, "Why do you think I would gain your trust by commenting on that old man?"

Ruth's face radiated confidence, his eyebrows even perked up and twitched slightly, as he laughed:

"Don't worry about that. Of all my brothers, I understand our father best. Just tell me your opinions, and I'll know the truth."

"But I like the way you subconsciously call him, 'old thing,' hahaha, I've wanted to call him that to his face for over a thousand years—no, according to your time flow, over ten thousand years ago."

"There was a good opportunity, a banquet at the palace. But Horus and Dorne firmly rejected my suggestion, and even Perturabo would grit his teeth and call him father, so my lobbying failed—"

Ruth got a little carried away and realized she'd said too much, so she stopped and turned to look at Aaron:

"It's your turn."

Aaron shook his head and said, "I have nothing to say. Aside from being his father, he's more like a family member who needs my care. For a long time, he wasn't like a normal person. Even the dog in the house is more enthusiastic than him."

Ruth was already slapping his thigh, his face beaming with joy:

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I wanted to hear! I've finally heard a precise description! I should have suggested to the Imperial Guards long ago that they keep some guard dogs in the palace, so it wouldn't be so lifeless and cold, and we could at least hear the dogs barking."

Aaron was taken aback. "No, no, how did you connect what I said to your logic?"

After Ruth finished howling—forgive Aaron for using the word "howling" to describe it—he sat cross-legged, placed his hands on his knees, and looked down at Ruth with his messy hair and beard face down:

"Very well, even if you're not my brother, I acknowledge that you're not a demon. I'm also curious, could you take me out of here?"

Ruth raised his hand and pointed to the purple rings that only the two of them could see. The patterns on them had faded and become unrecognizable, as if they had shrunk because of someone's presence.

At least it won't make people feel hungry just by looking at it.

He finally spoke:

"This thing is called the Ring of Gluttony. Don't think of it as just a ring; it's actually a hell or a heaven. Those who are trapped in it will spend their entire lives pursuing delicious food and fine wine."

Aaron said in surprise, "But judging from your reaction just now, you didn't seem to find them delicious unless you were hungry."

He paused, then added:

“But I guess Father would like it here, and it would be even better if the Ring of Sloth were here.”

Ruth burst into laughter, his beard flying back and forth:

"Hahaha! Yes, that old bastard should be brought in. Cough cough, back to the point, delicious food and wine will eventually raise your threshold, but getting addicted to it is nothing to worry about."

"But one day you might think, why can't you put those nails and stones in your mouth and feel the pain of your oral mucosa being torn and your esophagus being cut? That's a different kind of feeling of fullness."

Aaron nodded and sighed:

“I understand that unrestrained desires and experimentation, coupled with the immortality blessed by the devil, might lead them to believe that their own bodies are the true beauty at that time.”

Ruth admired Aaron's intelligence, summarizing it in a nutshell.

Aaron then asked, "Then, what is the way to leave the Ring of Gluttony? Even if it's a rule set by the demons themselves."

Ruth muttered something under his breath, as if he were thinking of something unpleasant:

"Following the devil's rules to pass the test or undergo trials is not a good choice. Usually, if you pass the test perfectly according to the devil's rules, you become a part of them. If you fail to pass the test and cannot defeat them, you will suffer."

"In my opinion, we should just ignore it."

"Sorry, I'm just venting. The six rings of the Lord of Pleasure represent different desires. If someone is free from all six desires, then that person is the greatest desire and will receive the Lord of Pleasure's personal blessing. That's a bit unfair; the evil god should have released them."

"If it were just about getting through a single hell, that would be easy."

Ruth pointed to himself: "Take me for example, I only eat what my body needs in Gluttony Hell, I respect the delicious food, but I never overeat."

"The order of the six rings has changed. I've passed Sloth, Greed, Domination, and Vanity; I'm only missing Gluttony and Lust. I should have passed this ring long ago, escaped, or undergone new trials. But—" He then pointed to the subspace node in the sky:

"It's obvious that the Lord of Pleasure has cheated. He's keeping me here until he sees me indulging in sensual pleasures and debauchery. To be honest, I like this kind of life, but I still have an entire galaxy to save."

After speaking, Ruth sighed deeply and stroked his beard to avoid tugging at his throat.

"Sigh—the flow of time is different here. I wonder what the Milky Way will look like when I get out."

Aaron could only sigh, saying that of the other trials Ruth mentioned, the first one, sloth, would probably be enough to make his father sink into oblivion, dying without ever moving an inch.

“He should have thrown me into lust first,” Ruth added. “But I guess the third one isn’t here, otherwise that thing would have come to test me personally.”

Aaron quickly said, "Let's put that aside for now. Why are there rumors circulating outside about you eating other things? They suspect you'll eat the whole world up!"
