"We can go to another world?"

Everyone was buzzing with excitement after hearing Yuuki's explanation. The strongest chefs in the world of Food Wars could only go so far. The chance to enter a world with Transcendent Chefs was an incredible opportunity.

"That's right. I can take you there now, but you need to be prepared."

Yuuki explained the background and situation of the Toriko world. He wasn't worried about their safety—even without him, they would be fine.

Every single one of them had Gourmet Cells. Even though they had only recently awakened them, their strength was terrifying—at least, from the perspective of the people in that world.

And Yuuki would be there, checking in on them from time to time.

He told them about the world and gave them time to get their affairs in order.

——————

After getting everyone settled, It was time to head to space.

With a Gourmet Cell level in the millions, he couldn't exactly run wild across the universe, but he could certainly protect himself.

He wasn't worried about his own safety. And this time, he planned to bring Nono with him. She was his partner, after all.

Now that he could transport people to other worlds, he could send her away at the first sign of danger. He no longer had to worry about the old problem—he could escape danger, but what about those with him?

That was why he had originally planned to go to space alone. But now, he could bring her without any issue.

He told Nono his plan. She was overjoyed at the thought of going with him, but she immediately asked if she would be a burden.

Only after he reassured her that she wouldn't slow him down did she agree to join him on his quest for more ingredients in the cosmos.

While Yuuki and Nono were getting ready, everyone else was also preparing for their own journeys. Ichiryu and Don Slime had already departed, planning to explore the nearby area first after scouting it with the Gourmet Satellite.

The Four Heavenly Kings, Jiro, and the others were all making their own preparations, all of them excited about the prospect of exploring space.

Even Granny Setsuno, rejuvenated and with a new outlook on life, was looking forward to the adventure.

Yuuki didn't need to prepare much. He had no need for supplies. Others had to use the Gourmet Satellite to plan safe routes with supply points, a difficult and time-consuming process.

Most of them were traveling in juvenile Giant Shells—there were very few Camping Monsters capable of interstellar travel.

The juvenile Giant Shells had limited storage, so they couldn't carry a lot of food. They had to rely on supply points. Check latest chapters at Nove1Fire.net

And they all had backup plans. In space, one mistake could be your last.

"Mr. Yuuki, are we really going to fight that thing?"

Aboard a juvenile Giant Shell, Yuuki and Nono had left Earth. But their first destination wasn't the deep cosmos—it was a threat much closer to home.

A colossal Cosmic Taipan lurked in the space near Earth. It was larger than the planet itself, with a capture level of 530,000.

Though it didn't attack Earth, it was a threat to anyone leaving the planet. But the main reason Yuuki was targeting it was simple—he was curious about how it tasted.

So, he planned to capture it first. With a power level in the millions, taking down a creature with a level of a few hundred thousand would be child's play.

Power levels in this world weren't linear. Certain thresholds brought about a qualitative change in power.

On Earth, a level of 5 was the first major milestone. Below that, numbers could still make a difference. Above it, they were mostly irrelevant.

The next major jump was at level 100. Below that, even a creature in the high 90s had limited destructive power. But once a creature crossed the 100-mark, like the Four-Beast's limbs, the change was terrifying.

The next leap was even greater—level 6,000, the realm of the Eight Kings, beings whose very will could alter the environment.

Then came the tens of thousands, where GOD resided. And now, Yuuki was in the millions, another massive milestone. With his current strength, crushing the Cosmic Taipan would be a walk in the park.

"Don't worry, I've got this."

Yuuki said with a smile, reassuring Nono. Seeing his confidence, and with the Blue Nitro's gourmet encyclopedia right beside them, she knew he wouldn't do anything reckless.

The Cosmic Taipan was terrifying, but she trusted him. If he had made this decision, he must be certain of the outcome.

And so, the two of them piloted the Giant Shell towards the coordinates the IGO had provided.

The IGO had classified the snake as a high-level threat. With such a high capture level and its proximity to Earth, it required constant monitoring and contingency planning.

So, when Yuuki announced his intention to capture it, the IGO staff were dumbfounded. They knew he was strong, but they also knew the snake's capture level.

Over 500,000...

The strongest creatures on Earth—the Eight Kings—didn't even come close.

But it was an order from Yuuki, who now held one of the highest levels of authority in the IGO, alongside President Mansam and former President Ichiryu.

His orders were to be followed without question.

Everyone on the Gourmet Satellite was watching him. They were eager to see what a battle between Yuuki and the Cosmic Taipan would look like.

As they watched, the juvenile Giant Shell approached the snake. The shell was so small, and Yuuki was concealing his aura so well, that the Taipan didn't even notice them.

For a creature larger than the Earth, they were like microbes. It would need special equipment to even see them.

"Looks like the big guy hasn't noticed us yet."

Yuuki said with a grin.

"I knew it was big, but seeing it up close... it's terrifying. A single one of its scales is so massive you can't even see the edges."

The sheer scale of the creature was a massive visual shock. Yuuki wasn't surprised. The thing was absurdly large.

"This is the perfect chance to test out a new move. Gourmet Divine Punishment!"

Yuuki's calories surged, and in the next instant, a massive golden hand materialized in the void of space.

It was a move Acacia had used in the original story, a hand of golden calories that had held the Earth between its fingers like a marble.

In the face of Gourmet Divine Punishment, a planet was nothing.

And Yuuki's version was far more terrifying than Acacia's.

The giant hand opened and—as if grabbing an eel—snatched the Cosmic Taipan from the void.

Caught in the massive grip, the snake sensed the danger and unleashed a powerful surge of energy. In the face of death, every creature would fight with all its might.

The ingredients of this world were willing to be eaten, but only if you had the strength to capture them.

And right now, the Cosmic Taipan was fighting for its life, struggling violently to escape the grip of the calorie hand.
