Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

"It's just hunger. If it's not a curse, then the mental hardship will remain at a certain level. Although such hardship is unbearable, if they can only endure it, they can endure it for a very long time."

"Can this period of time be briefly passed? Or can I skip it?"

"I want to quickly taste the delicious food you mentioned."

When Pandora heard Charles mention food, she swallowed her saliva, then she peeled off the window of the carriage and started to chew on it.

"Don't mention eating!"

"I'll feel even hungrier this way!"

"You can't skip over things!"

"After all, these people are now receiving blessings to increase their strength, and in order to ensure that their promotion does not pose any risks, they are tempered. But you are different~"

"The original design given to you was to help you get promoted~ But now... don't you feel hungry?" Pandora looked at Charles and said seriously.

Hungry?

Of course I’m hungry!

But isn't the cause of this hunger because of you?

He looked at Pandora speechlessly.

"It's not what you think. It's the 'hunger' that comes from your body and soul."

"Or rather, it shouldn't be simply called hunger, but rather a malnourished person's craving for nutrition..."

Malnutrition?

I?

Charles's expression became even more bewildered.

"I don't know how you got it, but your extraordinary characteristics, or rather, your body, is always in a state of hunger~"

"In theory, most extraordinary people will be full after absorbing extraordinary characteristics and gaining promotion. After all, the extraordinary characteristics they absorbed have existed for a long time and may have been cultivated by countless people."

"But you're different~"

"You look a bit like a transcendent who has ascended through self-cultivation. Your body, or rather your transcendental qualities, don't seem to be very full."

"I need some nutrition~"

"It's really strange. You seem very powerful, but your body is very weak. You don't look like a demigod at all."

"It's clearly the body of a demigod, yet it contains such powerful strength, and it's still in a weakened state."

“What a dissonant feeling~”

Charles' expression changed, he seemed to understand what Pandora said.

Those are some words spoken based on one's own uniqueness.

Or it could be said based on some of the words spoken by one's own plug-in.

In fact, Charles had been unable to understand his own situation very early on.

After all, although the extraordinary world is unscientific, the concept of science does exist.

Theoretically, the supernatural can distort science, but science can also explain most of the supernatural.

Charles's existence is a state that even science finds difficult to explain.

After all, it doesn't quite conform to the law of conservation of energy - magic power is also energy.

It can produce basic substances infinitely, but theoretically there should be a limit to the magical energy contained and mobilized by each extraordinary characteristic.

But Charles seemed to have no such limit.

Every time a sequence is promoted, all previous sequences will automatically grow to the current sequence limit.

This is neither scientific nor extraordinary, it's like using a cheat device.

Although Charles did not feel weak at this moment, he inexplicably agreed with what Pandora said - his body might really be in a weak state.

After all, he only integrated 7 extraordinary characteristics, but he exerted the level that could only be achieved by 40 or 50 of them, or even more... According to his shallow scientific and extraordinary cognition, he either had some higher-level energy in his body to make up for the consumption, or his body was connected to somewhere and his strength was drawn from there.

"I don't feel any malnutrition. In your opinion, why do I have this condition?" Charles asked seriously.

"I don't know~ I'm just a foodie who likes to eat~ You should ask for advice on things like this~ But she probably can't see your condition~"

"Among all my sisters, I am the only one who has this ability~" Pandora said proudly.

"Is there a solution?" Although malnutrition will not kill people, it will put a great burden on the body if malnutrition persists.

The same should be true for extraordinary people.

"of course!"

"Just keep doing what you're doing now and go to the front and have a big meal~"

"Although there's no way to get you promoted, I can make your body less weak. Well... at least I can make you like a normal person~"

Pandora calculated something while looking at Ciel, and finally came up with this answer.

"However...if you continue to advance in your current state, your body will probably become malnourished."

"Is there a solution?" Charles asked.

Pandora shook her head. "No, you'll eat up all the energy I've accumulated over tens of thousands of years in one go, unless you're willing to wait another few hundred thousand years to feast on me."

"Then...what about absorbing more extraordinary characteristics of the same sequence?" asked Charles.

The body is hungry, obviously because he cannot rely on the extraordinary characteristics of one sequence to exert the extraordinary power of several sequences. If he replenishes enough extraordinary power, will he be able to avoid the current state?

"Do you want it to explode?" Pandora looked at Ciel strangely. "According to the rules of this world, consuming a supernatural power of the same sequence will cause an explosion~ and it will be a bloody mess~"

Charles has always known this, but he thought he might be an exception. However, seeing Pandora looking at him as if he was seeking death, he felt that it would be better for him not to try to commit suicide.

Chapter 294 Chapter 174: Incomplete Memory, Sad Pandora

To be honest, Charles didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to discover the "hidden danger" in his body now.

After all, he now holds the potion of [Truth] and can be promoted to Sequence 2 at any time.

For him, after being promoted to Sequence 2, he will truly stand at the top of the world.

But this time, he was a little afraid, or even hesitant.

After all, just because he didn't feel anything unusual in his body at Sequence 3 doesn't mean he won't feel it at Sequence 2 either.

No one can tell whether promotion for a malnourished body is a good thing or a bad thing.

"It's not that serious~"

"Malnutrition won't kill you~"

"Just eat more and it will be solved~"

"As long as you stay and make more delicious food, I will give you some of the energy share after the City of Gluttony~" Pandora looked at him expectantly at Charles's dilemma.

Ciel sighed and then shook his head.

"Anything can happen in the extraordinary world. Who knows what will happen if you continue to be malnourished."

Confused, Charles thought of the time he had lost.

Tens of thousands of years passed in a flash, but after tens of thousands of years he welcomed the accumulation of the City of Gluttony.

Perhaps the reason Pandora remained awake and did not fall asleep like her other sisters was not because her father doted on her, but because of him?

Ciel didn't know whether his guess was correct, but the accumulation of the City of Gluttony and Pandora's words forced Ciel to think so.

"At most he'll get sick. Or lie in bed like a patient, unable to move?" Pandora tilted her head and guessed.

However, she did not guarantee whether her guess was accurate. After all, this was the first time she had encountered Charles' situation.

It's so funny that extraordinary people would be "malnourished".

After all, you cannot advance if the magic energy does not accumulate to a certain level, and the magic energy brought by the extraordinary characteristics will also meet the needs of advancement.

But in this state of Ciel... the magic power he can mobilize in his body is far higher than that of an ordinary demigod. He should be extremely healthy, but he looks very weak.

It's like...the other demigods need to have normal human skeletons, but he needs to have a giant skeleton.

Pandora envied Charles a little - he always stayed in this "hungry" state, so he would definitely eat more in one bite than she did now.

"Anyway... let's talk about it after we get to your city." "I don't know how some things will turn out."

"Let's put aside the malnutrition issue for now. I'm more interested in the loving breakfast you mentioned earlier."

This is true.

Although Charles' physical condition concerns his life and future, since it cannot be solved at this time, the greasy food that Pandora mentioned before, which is within reach and that she made herself, is even more important to him.

He had a hunch that from those meals he might be able to learn something that he had forgotten or that "had never happened".

Lady Doom...

Let me see what happened between us...

Charles pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to laugh, but ultimately failed.

"The loving breakfast is quite ordinary, and it's almost time for lunch, so let's eat your special loving lunch first." Pandora couldn't help drooling as she spoke, and then she simply took off the roof of the carriage and ate it happily.

While Charles and Pandora were chatting, Theresa and the others were almost at their limit.

The first to fall was Morin—not because he couldn't bear it any longer, but because not long after he was promoted to Sequence 4, the energy output to his body was instantly cut off. Then, due to hunger and lack of energy to replenish, he fainted from hunger in an instant.

Next was Theresa. Her Sequence was suddenly raised from Sequence 9 to Sequence 5, and then it seemed as if it was stuck. In the end, the energy lingered in her body for a while before finally flowing out.

"Getting too many promotions at once isn't a good idea. I think it's harmless, but it's hard for most people to control themselves."

"But don't worry too much. As one of the main guests this time, she must have gained the most out of you~"

"I remember that besides me, there seems to be another sister who has the power to replenish energy." Pandora said with her head tilted.

Charles' expression shifted before he asked, "Who is it?"

"Of course it's still me~ But which me is it, I don't know~"

Charles reached out and stroked Theresa's hair helplessly.

He doesn't even know his own abilities. If Charles tells others about this, they probably won't believe him.

But looking at the girl who had eaten his carriage into a cart, Charles believed it...

"Um...can you please stop eating? If you continue eating, there will be no place for us to sit." Seeing Pandora's eyes beginning to wander to the bottom of the carriage, Charles couldn't help but speak.

Pandora felt a little regretful, but nodded, "Actually, the carriage doesn't taste very good~"

I know this even if you don’t say it!

Who in their right mind would eat a horse carriage?

Also, if it doesn’t taste good, why can you eat it so quickly and so deliciously?

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

To be honest, looking at Pandora's appearance just now, Charles had an urge to break off a piece of wood himself to taste it.

After Theresa and Morin ended their hunger state one after another, Peroz slowly followed in their footsteps. After improving two sequences, he slowly fell to the ground.

"Originally they didn't have to be tortured for so long~ But since you need to eat so much~ we can only use this method to promote them~" Pandora's tone sounded apologetic.

As she expected, Theresa and the others would go through two stages after arriving at the City of Gluttony.

The first stage is to continuously separate the power of their spirit, life and soul and integrate it into some special food. The second stage is to let them eat dishes that have their own power while they are hungry and then get promoted.

But after Ciel appeared and noticed his condition, Pandora changed her original plan and cut out the second stage, allowing them to advance directly while starving, thus saving a little energy.

Originally, after their promotion, they should be stronger than ordinary people who have acquired extraordinary characteristics, but now because Pandora has deducted some energy, the magic power they possess is much weaker.

To some extent, they are also in a state of "malnutrition" in the current sequence, but their condition is much better than that of Charles.

It's easy to replenish.

"Finally, we can have a big meal~" Pandora said excitedly as she looked at Peroz who fell down last.

As soon as she finished speaking, the environment around Charles changed.

A city built of delicious food appeared before him.
