Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

Skadi specifically asked Frostnova to forge her a larger ice blade, because she really didn't want to go back to Rhodes Island to get a more suitable weapon.

Frostnova granted her request, conjuring up a large ice sword for her that was similar in length to Skadi's.

She stood before the tongue, which weighed several tons.

With a single slash, at least several dozen kilograms of meat were cut off.

Then divide it again, cutting off smaller portions.

Then, he picked up the extra portion, tilted his head back, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed it straight down his throat as if he didn't need to chew.

However, apart from a few gurgling sounds in her throat, she didn't notice any change in her body shape after consuming such a large amount of raw, sliced ​​tongue.

Finally, Skadi put that small piece in her mouth and savored it by chewing.

"The tongue really does taste the best..."

She squinted, slightly tilting her head as if enjoying herself, and said this.

While Thorn on the side didn't show any expression, the ice blade that slipped from his hand was enough to show his inner shock.

"May I inject the air without damaging it?"

On the other side, Tomat didn't rush to eat either, but instead, following Nian's instructions, he tried to do the so-called "processing" work.

From the stories told in 1990, Thomas learned that these creatures were not ordinary; at least, when they were in normal condition, they were indeed closer to ordinary whales than they looked now.

They have become what they are today because of certain influences, just like some ethnic groups on the earth.

The source of the influence naturally comes from the seabed—some kind of evil taboo causes the affected things to transform into unusual forms.

Some may not look much different from ordinary people, but their inner selves have been transformed into other forms, possessing powers they did not originally have. Others will undergo obvious physical changes, such as this disintegrated behemoth.

However, these explanations did not concern Tomat much.

The negligible transformation wasn't enough to pique his interest much; he simply regarded it as something like nuclear radiation or cosmic rays.

Some people study them, some avoid them, and some blindly follow them. These things are none of Tomat's business. Just like the monsters he and his friends encountered when exploring the abandoned mobile platform, he doesn't care what other people's purposes are in contacting these creatures. To him, being able to eat them is enough.

However, if we treat it as food, even if it doesn't have much of an impact on ourselves, it's still a bit of extra work for others. After all, we might encounter similar creatures in Terra in the future, and there's no guarantee that Nian will be there to help us deal with them then.

"That's exactly right. Just like when you suppress a patient with an acute attack of Oripathy, you should gently and slowly inject the Qi."

Perhaps the previous escape left most people with lingering fears, because even now that the disaster has ended, the residents who were told to go to the indoor beach to get relief food were not particularly eager to go there.

After all, the outside world looks quite dirty and desolate. The crater is still releasing visible smoke, and the dark red lava inside still emits a glow.

It has now been confirmed that the Siesta volcano eruption was caused by human intervention. After the eruption, the giant Originium worms that lived inside the volcano went into hibernation and even came outside the volcano. It is now impossible for it to erupt again.

But no matter how the professionals explained it to them, it was useless, and before the volcanic eruption, the messenger of natural disaster named Kronin kept reiterating that "Siesta is very safe".

At least this guy has declared the end of his career as a messenger of natural disasters.

But aside from the damage to his personal future, the most important consequence was that it severely exacerbated people's distrust of those who claimed to be messengers of natural disasters.

So no matter how you say the outside world is safe, many people would rather stay in the cold mobile platform and make a mess of it by raising all sorts of complaints and grievances.

However, this also allowed the "chefs" who were transferred to help further prepare the behemoths to arrive near the beach earlier and have ample time to cook.

"This...this could be the legendary 'Northern Star Luper Blade'?"

"No, these are just ordinary ice skates."

Although he had his own complete set of kitchen utensils, he couldn't help but marvel at the crystal-clear blade that gleamed with a cold light.

Of course, this quickly drew criticism from others.

Many chefs couldn't help but get excited when faced with such a huge amount of ingredients.

Curious about its origins, after tasting a bite of the raw sea creature, I'm even more eager to cook it properly, hoping to elevate this unknown ingredient to a higher level of deliciousness through my own skills.

With the help of Nian, Xi, and Shuangxing, a cooking area was quickly set up on site.

A dazzling array of equipment was displayed in the ice-cast house, surrounding the platform where the giant beast was located, making it both cool and magnificent.

Such buildings stand out conspicuously in a city ravaged by war.

—Some people have raised the question of why the food wasn't transported directly back to Rhodes Island or the Siesta mobile platform.

But both Tomat and Badak, the two hunters of the behemoth, said that cooking here was sufficient.

Whether those people are willing or dare to set foot in Siesta again is entirely up to them.

There are people who don't care about the Obsidian Festival and are thinking about leaving Siesta as soon as possible, and there are also people who are willing to come here, or rather, who want to take advantage of the calm to make everything lively again.

The people busy on the beach now are simply trying to see just how many of the latter there are.

"Leaving aside the existence itself, they generally exert influence on the outside world and change it. Sometimes it is through physical contact, and sometimes through mental pollution. Although the methods are diverse and seem difficult to guard against, it is not difficult to fight against them... at least it is very simple for us."

Meanwhile, Nian's "cooking instruction" was still ongoing, but rather than telling Thomas what to do, Nian was introducing some more off-topic things.

"Something like a black snake, it seems to influence others in a mental way and take over their bodies."

This reminded Tomat of the guy he encountered in Talulah's spiritual world who seemed like an evil god.

They create gaps in the host's mind through contact and conversation, then take the opportunity to infiltrate and control the host.

It sounds like a lot of trouble, since mental instability is hard to prevent.

However, just as Nian said, it was not difficult for him to fight back.

Even in the spiritual realm, these manipulators of mind and soul don't gain much of an advantage.

"You also know about the Black Snake?"

She seemed quite surprised when Tomat mentioned the name, and with interest, she shook her dragon tail behind her and continued to ask:

"And then? What happened?"

"He's probably dead."

Thomas used his qi to suspend the still-pulsating chunk of flesh between his hands, surrounded by a halo of aura that shimmered with a dim light.

He focused on the lump of meat in front of him and answered simply with what he knew about the fate of the black snake.

The spirit, which was not particularly resilient to begin with, dissipated in the face of irreversible reality.

"...That's true, the only reason that guy has survived until now is because he can hide."

Tomat's answer surprised Nian for a moment, but he then replied with a relieved tone, as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"If I get the chance, I won't let him get away with it."

She clapped her hands, as if regretting that she couldn't deal with the black snake herself.

However, there is also some doubt about the description of Tomat.

After all, Ursus still exists, and this guy who claims to be born from the will of Ursus still has the possibility of rising from the ashes.

Unless the entire Ursus is wiped out—which doesn't seem impossible?

But she abandoned the idea of ​​reminding Tomat.

Thomas may or may not know how the Black Serpent was born, but even if the situation she imagined actually happened, the other party wouldn't need her to remind them.

He will naturally make a choice about what to do.

Tomat is capable and has the ability to eliminate them again, or to use a more thorough method.

However, Nian still couldn't connect the young man in front of her with the kind of violence she could imagine.

After all, he was currently busy figuring out how to make a piece of meat tainted by evil into something that everyone could eat.

Yet, this very person, who tries to think of others, also possesses the power to create seas of blood and mountains of corpses.

Regardless, there is a certain contrast and irony.

Looking at Tomat, who was frowning and concentrating, Nian gave a helpless smile, as if looking at an immature child.

It is extremely dangerous, but the future is promising.

"What are you laughing at... It's just that you haven't done it yet. Watch, it'll be done soon..."

However, Tomat took the smiling face from that year as a mockery.

It's because she usually has a cynical attitude.

"In short, as long as it is forced out, the affected organisms can be restored to their original state... However, if it is eroded or excessively affected, it can only be rendered harmless at best, rather than 'restored to its original state'."

Nian maintained that smile, shook his head, and continued to explain:

"The Qi contained in mountains, rivers, plants, trees, and other things can serve as a very suitable substitute as energy that can enhance vitality. It can not only greatly suppress the life-depleting disease of Orthopaedics, but also drive away other dirty energies that reside within."

However, Tomat already understood the key points.

However, that measurement has not yet been precisely determined.

"drink!!!"

Tomat increased the amount of energy he was channeling.

In the next instant, the entire piece of meat turned white and shiny.

But this doesn't mean the purification is complete—it just means too much was injected.

Thomas immediately threw it into the air, and then, accompanied by a burst of fire, the whole piece of meat exploded and scattered in mid-air.

"It could easily turn into a dirty firework..."

[Main Text] Siesta's Hottest Holiday: Chapter Seventy-Two - Not Very Hungry

When people realized that the enticing aroma did not come from the dining area of ​​the mobile platform they were in, those who were unwilling to leave or even urged to leave finally turned their attention back to the city they had previously fled from.

It was still dusk, but in the distance, in Hai'an County, there were flashes of light that were different from the reflection on the water, as well as traces of flickering flames.

Some people, accompanied by others, eventually left the mobile platform in droves, entering the still-uncleaned city with some hesitation and fear.

After all, neither staying on Rhodes Island nor on those incomplete local mobile platforms was a long-term solution. The chaos caused by a large population and the loss of resources were not things that could be dealt with easily.

Now, Siesta has once again taken on the responsibility of accommodating a large population.

Guided by agents and local military and police, avoiding buildings that were in danger of collapsing due to falling rocks, some locals chose to return to their homes, while another group, seemingly guided by smell, headed to the beach that was supposedly "distributing food to everyone."
