I'm not just human!

"You can eat secret contracts? Even a physical being wouldn't dare do that!"

“Based on my previous research, the power of any secret contract originates from the origin of the universe. In other words, whether one randomly signs a secret contract or consumes a secret contract, the extraordinary power within the body should be completely disrupted due to the influence of the origin of the universe. Apart from the nine righteous gods, no being can withstand it, but this…”

"Even the nine supreme gods, possessing unparalleled power and virtue, wouldn't recklessly consume secret contracts, would they?"

"Yes, that's why what's happening now is extremely valuable for research. Quick, write it down!"

In the scholar's hall of the Supreme Church, the great scholars with gray hair and wearing astrological robes immediately became flustered.

Some brought out their secret treasures: "photograph newspapers" or "replica cameras."

Some, however, had cryptic messages flashing in their eyes and immediately sketched the scene on draft paper.

Others stared intently at the scenes reflected in the mirror of light and shadow, trying to memorize them directly.

"Great Scholar" is a highly prestigious clergy position held by all nine major churches.

Generally speaking, those who become great scholars are all extremely knowledgeable in occult matters, have very high intelligence, and are particularly research-oriented.

On the other hand, although great scholars do not pay much attention to rank, in order to access and study those forbidden knowledge and forbidden existences, those who can become great scholars are basically angels, including even rulers and extraordinary monarchs!

Of course, for great scholars, combat strength is not important. What they value most is their expertise in various fields of occultism, such as the interpretation of ancient history and ancient scripts, the deciphering and research of cryptic texts, the study of magical equations, and so on.

This also includes research on physical entities, unknown existences, and insane gods or Outer Gods.

However, those who dare to study this kind of forbidden mysticism are basically veteran extraordinary monarchs among great scholars.

And now, a physical entity, and moreover, the recently rising star of the Wright Starfield, the "Glutton," has suddenly appeared in the Natural Starfield.

Moreover, they went directly to a secret vault of the Gold Miners' Guild on Gold Miner's Star and began to feast on the secret contract.

For these great scholars, this is hundreds or thousands of times more exciting than obtaining a long-lost ancient occult book, discovering a lost piece of ancient history, or finding a piece of a deranged limb from a god... etc.!

In fact, this is even more exciting than listening to bards tell the secrets of the nine great gods!

Although the scholar's hall was chaotic, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

"Your Excellency the Glutton has remained in a stable condition."

"His eating speed did not slow down at all."

"That high-level secret contract, which is suspected to be the one of Gale and Shadow, is about to be devoured by Lord Gluttony."

"Your Excellency, could you please give Fuzer a hint so that He won't move around and interfere with my sketching?"

"A quick sketch of an entity eating a secret code? Are you really not afraid of things getting out of control, Planck?"

"What does losing control matter in the face of truth? I, Planck, will take the risk. Since it's out of control anyway, it'll just be a living test subject for your 'reversing loss of control' research project! Hahaha!"

"Finished! Lord Glutton really finished that huge chunk of raw meat that contained the Swift Shadow, right? That must have been the meat of a demigod-level supernatural creature like the Blazing Boar?"

"Why do I get the feeling that you, Lord Glutton, are still not satisfied and are thoroughly enjoying yourself?"

"Your Excellency the Glutton remains in a stable state, showing no signs of losing control, although entities seem to be very difficult to control."

"Truly worthy of being called the Glutton, truly worthy of being a physical being..."

"The Glutton has struck again! My Lord, this time he took two high-level secret contracts!"

"Fuze Ren, can you hear me? Don't move! I'm sketching! Let me take a closer look... Hiss! It's actually 'Radiant Sun' and 'Sanctuary Assassin'—two high-level secret contracts!"

"These are clearly two high-level secret contracts with completely incompatible directions, how could Lord Glutton eat them?"

"My God, Lord Gluttony has actually started eating! And his condition is still very stable!"

"Quick, write it down! Write it down!"

Seeing the scholars' excited expressions, Patriarch Heimdall smiled helplessly, but his attention remained fixed on the Mirror of Light and Shadow.

The physical entity... even as a transcendent lord, He knew almost nothing about it.

Today, once the news that Lord Gluttony can even devour the Secret Code spreads, many studies and speculations about the entity will likely be overturned.

"No, what is that?"

Suddenly, Patriarch Heimdall's expression tightened, and he looked incredulously at the other side of the Mirror of Light and Shadow, which was behind Fuzawa.

Because the Mirror of Light and Shadow can reveal the scene within a radius of tens of meters around Fukuzawa Ren, Fukuzawa Ren is standing at the entrance of the secret vault, on the edge of the coast.

Therefore, Patriarch Heimdall could even see what was happening outside the secret vault.

What I saw was a vast ocean, an endless expanse of azure.

However, beneath the seemingly calm sea surface, a crimson expanse suddenly appeared, stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers to the left and right, and was slowly rising, about to break through the sea level.

An aura of hunger, enough to drive one mad, emanated from beneath the sea surface. Even through the Mirror of Light, Patriarch Heimdall could clearly sense it, and even felt a faint tendency to be affected by it.

This startled Patriarch Heimdall; it was…

"The Wall of Flesh and Blood! How did this physical entity, the Wall of Flesh and Blood, end up outside this secret vault?"

In the Scholars' Hall, the great scholars who had been busy recording various data were all stunned, staring blankly at the Mirror of Light and Shadow.

A wall of flesh and blood... This entity, which is arguably one of the most vicious, indifferent, and notorious, has actually appeared?

Moreover, judging from the direction it is heading, it is actually going to devour the secret vault of the Gold Miners' Guild where Lord Glutton resides.

……

At this moment.

Gold Rush Star, Silver Coin Coast, in the secret vault.

Having just finished consuming the two high-level secret contracts, "Radiant Sun" and "Sanctuary Assassin," and still feeling somewhat unsatisfied, Xia Fa was preparing to consume two more high-level secret contracts when suddenly his spiritual intuition stirred, as if he had sensed something.

It was an atmosphere of pervasive hunger, and an indescribable stench.

The pervasive atmosphere of hunger seemed to infect all living beings, causing them to become instantly ravenously hungry, regardless of whether they had eaten enough, and they would immediately begin to eat without stopping for a moment.

In fact, Xia Fa's gaze swept across the vault, penetrating the walls that were over ten meters thick, and he immediately saw countless crabs crawling out from the cracks in the rocks on the Silver Coin Coast, fighting with each other with their pincers, trying to devour each other's bodies.

Meanwhile, not far from the beach, jellyfish and starfish intertwined, spewing out digestive fluids as they digested each other's bodies.

A sandworm emerged from the sand, entangled itself around a passing conch, and tried to devour it, but the conch instead began to gnaw on the sandworm's soft body...

Near Silver Coin Coast, all living things seemed to have gone mad, and were consumed by uncontrollable hunger!

And that fishy smell was absolutely awful, like a mixture of all the fishy smells in the world: the smell of fish, the smell of boats, the smell of iron, the smell of rotting seaweed, the smell of animal offal, the smell of the salty sea...

The fishy smell even permeated the open door of the secret vault immediately, almost killing Xia Fa's appetite.

"This is……"

All of this caused a name, or rather, the title of a physical entity, to suddenly appear in Xia Fa's mind.

A wall of flesh and blood.

Among the entities, some are relatively friendly to humans and demi-humans, such as bards, guides, and even the "gluttons" they themselves disguise.

There are also those whose attitude towards people is ambiguous. If humans and demi-humans follow their rules when they appear, they will live in peace. If they do not follow their rules, they will attack without mercy.

Among them are storytellers, gourmets, and avid tomb raiders, etc.

Of course, there are also those who are completely unfriendly to humans and demi-humans, or even ignore the existence of humans and demi-humans, and only enforce their own rules each time they appear.

For example, the House of Imagination, the Patriarch of All Poisons, etc...

And this wall of flesh and blood is one of them!

It could even be considered one of the most notorious entities!

Once the wall of flesh and blood appears, it will devour everything within tens of thousands of kilometers in front of it, and then it will leave.

Historically, many city-states have disappeared because of the appearance of physical entities like walls of flesh and blood, which directly devoured the entire city-state.

Nothing will be left behind, neither living beings nor buildings.

In a sense, the reason why superhumans are so afraid of physical entities is not only because of their unparalleled power, but also because of the tragedies caused by physical entities such as the Wall of Flesh and the House of Imagination.

But Xia Fa never expected that his random free meal at the secret vault on the Silver Coin Coast of Gold Rush Star would lead to... the appearance of a wall of flesh!

What kind of mess is this?!

Of course, Xia Fa learned exactly where he was and which faction's treasury he was in through the noisy sounds coming from the Mirror of Light and Shadow in Fu Ze Ren's hand.

Just now, when Fukuzawa Ren found him, Fukuzawa Ren was too frightened to move, so Xia Fa simply took on the role of a glutton who was enforcing the "gluttony" rule.

Pretending to completely ignore Fukuzawa Ren, he continued eating his secret contract.

On the other hand, he also overheard many sounds coming from the Mirror of Light and Shadow.

"Oh no, this is affecting me..."

Suddenly, an indescribable hunger swept over me.

Xia Fa, who was already nearly 70% full after eating five secret contracts, found himself uncontrollably hungry again.

Moreover, this hunger... is completely different from the hunger of wanting to eat a supernatural feast, and even completely different from the hunger of wanting to eat a secret food.

This feeling of hunger is more like a mixture of all kinds of hunger, whether it's a grand feast, a secret recipe, home-cooked food, street snacks, desserts... it all makes you want to eat them all.

What surprised Xia Fa even more was that these very normal foods and the secret recipes that he could eat were stimulating his appetite.

I... actually felt an overwhelming urge to eat the extraordinary metal and stone-made sealed artifacts on the shelf!

He was slightly startled, and his gaze once again passed through the thick, shadowy iron wall of the secret vault and looked toward the Silver Coin Coast.

Sure enough, in just a short while, all sorts of amphibians had eaten up all the live creatures that could be eaten nearby, and then... they actually started gnawing on the rocks and swallowing the sand!

If it were crabs eating sand, that would be one thing, but Xia Fa even saw jellyfish frantically devouring sand, even bursting their translucent, umbrella-shaped bodies while still eating!

It was an extremely bizarre scene: on the left side of the jellyfish's body, sand covered in mucus was being squeezed out continuously, while on the right side, its mouthparts were still relentlessly swallowing the golden sand.

It seemed completely beyond their control, yet they couldn't stop.

Click!Click!

Several strange sounds were heard; they were the sounds of a blue crab and a stone crab bursting open as their bodies were stretched from swallowing too much sand.

"No, this is too eerie, I have to get out of here..."

Xia Fa instinctively wanted to get up and teleport back.

Without a doubt, this wall of flesh and blood is extremely powerful and of a very high rank. It is probably among the top ten of all physical entities, almost on par with the Gourmet!

Therefore, just like when you order food from a gourmet, you can't ignore the gourmet's rules, so you end up ordering scrambled eggs with lamb's cecum.

He has now encountered a wall of flesh and blood, and is also affected by its "hunger" rule. He is gradually showing signs of wanting to eat anything he sees without regard for anything else!
