Toriko: Gourmet Chat Group-Chapter 363 - 362: Conditions for Entry

Chapter 362: Conditions for Entry

The Four Heavenly Kings and their partners gathered at Kenji’s villa. Without exception, it was because of the commotion in the "Final Land."

The pursuit of food... that is what it means to be a Gourmet Hunter.

"The Final Land... there should be many ingredients that have gone extinct in the universe there, right?" Teppei said lazily.

As a Gourmet Reviver, he was more interested in reviving rare ingredients.

But hearing about the "Gourmet Gods"... that sounded like trouble. He felt like he couldn’t beat them. Those were old-timers who had existed since the beginning of the Gourmet Universe.

"Kenji, my Full Course Menu is still missing a Drink. What about yours?" Toriko asked.

"Still missing a Main Dish."

The two looked at each other and smiled with tacit understanding.

"You two are really slow."

Zebra complained. It’s been so long, and they still haven’t completed their Full Course Menus. Weak.

"Let fate decide. What’s the rush?"

After Kenji spoke, Toriko nodded. Exactly. It’s not like we’re ascending to heaven tomorrow. We have plenty of time to choose.

But, since they were going to the Final Land, the final piece of the puzzle would be collected.

"By the way, the White Ogre said that not just anyone can enter the Final Land," Toriko suddenly said.

"How so?"

Coco knew Toriko had three Ogres inside him, and the White Ogre was the strongest and knew the most.

"The White Ogre said there are conditions for entering the Final Land."

"Your own strength must reach or approach the level of a Gourmet God, or your Food Luck must reach an extremely high level."

"If you don’t meet either... you can still enter if you’re led by a Gourmet God. Otherwise, you can’t pass through that special ’Gourmet Barrier’."

"I see. That makes sense," Coco rubbed his chin.

If anyone could enter the Final Land, it would seem a bit cheap.

"Can we get in?" Sunny asked.

Zebra looked at Komatsu. If anyone’s Food Luck was up to par, Komatsu’s was definitely top-tier.

"Is Food Luck alone enough?" Komatsu said, a bit unsure.

His Food Luck was a little good, but the Final Land sounded very serious.

"My mermaid here can take us straight in," Kenji said with a smile.

Besides the conditions Toriko mentioned, there were other ways. For example, some special "God Ingredients" could find a way into the Final Land.

[No problem.]

Firefly made an "OK" gesture. That was her home. Of course she didn’t need any conditions to go home.

"Entry is no problem. The only thing left is the potential clash with those Gourmet Gods," Coco said.

Entering the Final Land definitely wouldn’t be smooth sailing.

"Just do it. I hope they can adapt to me," Zebra clenched his fist. Fists are the hard truth. Fighting your way in is also a method.

"Let’s set it for three days from now. Go back and get ready," Kenji said. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Toriko and the others nodded and went back to their homes. A few days didn’t matter.

[Master, meet on the moon in three days. We’re going to the Final Land together.]

[...]

Kenji messaged Jiro and the others. These older generation masters would definitely be interested.

[Got it.]

Jiro and the others replied instantly. Since they were on Earth anyway, they’d go check out the Final Land.

There must be top-tier alcohol in the Final Land. As a centuries-old alcoholic, Jiro had to taste it.

...

[Star Forger]: "Everyone! Who wants to go to the Final Land of our Gourmet Universe?"

[God of Justice]: "Final Land... sounds like there should be a lot of good food, right?"

[God of Justice]: "But... why is it called the ’Final Land’?"

[Star Forger]: "It’s called the Final Land, but it can also be called the ’First Land.’ It’s the origin of all Gourmet Universes. The ’Gourmet Big Bang’ happened there over 10 billion years ago."

[Stank]: "Strong deja vu. Is this the Gourmet version of the Big Bang?"

[Naughty Xi]: "Indeed. Gourmet Big Bang, Universe Big Bang... A place that’s existed for over 10 billion years? I have to see it."

[Gudako]: "Pipi-Xi (Naughty Xi), did Kayle not chop you into mincemeat?"

She was referring to Kayle chasing Hexi down.

[Star Forger]: "Not that fine."

[Naughty Xi]: "Indeed, not that fine. I was beaten into Sacred Atoms."

If she were Morgana, she would have been put in a jar.

[Sherry]: "Atoms? And you’re not dead?"

[Naughty Xi]: "Unless the Sacred Atoms are completely annihilated... so Kayle and I are very hard to kill."

[Fatty Blue]: "How pitiful. Getting beaten into atoms just for being naughty. Do you two secretly have a deep grudge?"

[Naughty Xi]: "Does the fact that I’ve... touched her... count?"

[Galactic Baseballer]: "Give me the details on how you ’touched’ her. I’m still a minor, very curious about this knowledge."

[Miss Pink Elf♪]: "I’m curious too♪."

[The Champion]: "Is it the kind of ’yuri’ (QQ space) I’m thinking of?"

[God’s Tongue]: "My filter for Angels has shattered. You guys play wild."

[Tsukasa Kadoya]: "You can tell from the ’Old Driver’ Angel Yan. She’s not ’proper’ at all, she just doesn’t show it openly."

[Naughty Xi]: "Over 30,000 years old... gotta find something to do to relieve the boredom."

Apollo: "@Star Forger, I’m quite interested in the Final Land of your universe."

[Star Forger]: "Of course, you’re welcome. I wonder if there’s any food there that you can eat, Apollo."

[Star Forger]: "When the Supreme God Otan created you guys, he didn’t add an eating function. That deserves a bad review."

[Star Forger]: "Doraemon, a robot, can eat. Did Otan forget?"

Apollo didn’t know what to say. Is it possible... that we Galaxy Robots don’t need to eat? We just absorb stellar and planetary energy.

Robots eating food... that’s the weird thing.

He was different from robots like Doraemon.

[Fatty Blue]: "If I couldn’t eat (Dorayaki)... that would indeed be a very painful thing."

[Fatty Blue]: "But, most robots don’t need to eat. After all, there are better ways to get energy."

[Little Monster]: "Spectra, do you eat?"

[Spectra-Onion]: "...That’s an easy question. I do not need to eat."

Spectra answered directly. One of the Seven Seals on him was the "Energy Seal." He could also absorb purer energy directly from the universe, which was much faster than getting it from food.

Kenji thought about Spectra’s image (not the human form). Spectra doesn’t seem to have a mouth... so eating like a normal creature is unrealistic.
