"Millions of Special Preparation Ingredients—even Granny Setsuno couldn't handle this."

After listening to Yuuki's explanation and watching him already hard at work, Yosaku couldn't help but voice his amazement.

"Setsu is incredibly skilled, but millions of Special Preparation Ingredients?? That's beyond even her capabilities—unless she knew the preparation methods from the start. But in this world, Yuuki's probably the only one who can hear the Voice of Acacia's Full Course."

Jiro understood Setsuno's abilities perfectly.

Give her time with Special Preparation Ingredients and she could handle them, but the prerequisite was having that time—and the numbers couldn't be overwhelming.

Millions of Special Preparation Ingredients—the sheer scale was staggering. Even though Jiro wasn't a professional chef, he knew crystal clear that Setsuno couldn't possibly handle all these ingredients in a short timeframe.

Hell, even with centuries at her disposal, she still couldn't manage it. So it all came down to Yuuki.

As time passed, the two watched Yuuki's incredible speed. He wasn't preparing ingredients one at a time—he was processing tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of ingredients simultaneously.

His hair could extend incredible distances now, spreading out in staggering numbers. Combined with his absolute control over his power, Yuuki could simultaneously prepare hundreds of thousands of ingredients.

And these were all Special Preparation Ingredients. If they'd been ordinary ingredients, Yuuki could easily handle millions at once without breaking a sweat.

It didn't take long. The tens of millions of flowers were processed, their precious nectar extracted. Yuuki then heated the collected liquid with a perfectly controlled flame and poured it over EARTH.

Instantly, all the surrounding flowers withered.

Now fully prepared, it detached itself from the stem, and Yuuki caught it with a practiced ease—EARTH's preparation was complete.

——————

"Incredible, I haven't seen you for a while, and you've already grown to this level!"

Yosaku gave Yuuki a thumbs up. The speed at which Yuuki's strength and technique improved was terrifying—the most frightening existence Yosaku had ever witnessed.

After Jiro's earlier explanation, Yosaku now understood just how powerful Yuuki had become. Even Monkey King Bambina—one of the Eight Kings—had been taken down by Yuuki.

When he'd first heard this news, Yosaku's brain had completely frozen.

But he'd recovered now.

Hearing Yosaku's words, Yuuki smiled and shared some of the ingredient with him. Yosaku wasn't planning to leave immediately—he still needed to say goodbye to the natives.

So Yuuki and Jiro didn't waste time. After consuming EARTH and adapting to their explosive power increase, they opened the Back Channel and headed for the Third Continent.

——————

The Third Continent was extremely unique among the eight continents.

It was called the Cloud Continent because the entire landmass was composed of cloud layers—not dark clouds like the Eighth Continent, but actual clouds forming the continent itself.

The Third Continent was the birds' stronghold. The IGO's Biotope 0 was also located here, hidden within a massive cloud tree.

However, Biotope 0 was currently empty. Everyone had been deployed worldwide to face the Gourmet Corp, and those who lost naturally died.

The winners stayed at their posts, waiting for people from the Human World to help capture the remaining ingredients. With Ichiryu focused on stabilizing the Human World, Biotope 0 had been left unguarded.

Still, Biotope 0 was hidden within the cloud tree, making it nearly immune to raptor attacks.

Yuuki and Jiro weren't here for Biotope 0—they were here for ATOM.

"This must be the Developmental Fever Bridge from Ichiryu's intelligence reports,"

Looking at the bridge section barely visible through the cloud layers, Jiro spoke. Both he and Yuuki were standing in mid-air—flying was trivially easy for them.

They could walk on air itself.

They could also stand on Calorie equipment to fly, making the Developmental Fever Bridge completely unnecessary.

This structure had been built by the Red Nitro race—though not willingly. They'd been enslaved by the Blue Nitro at the time.

The Blue Nitro had forced these Red Nitro to build the Developmental Fever Bridge to facilitate capturing and preparing ATOM.

Finding this bridge led directly to ATOM's location.

For those lacking strength, this bridge was certainly the most convenient route. After all, beneath these cloud seas lay massive amounts of toxic substances—falling in basically meant death.

As for ATOM, its capture difficulty ranked second to last, with PAIR in last place—of course, that was the original PAIR. The PAIR inside the Monkey King ranked in the top three for capture difficulty.

An ingredient like ATOM was easy to capture because it was right there. ATOM erupted from massive volcanoes, these magma-like substances shooting directly into space.

In space, It would absorb a vast amounts of toxins before returning to Earth's surface.

So capturing It was simple—the ingredient was right in front of you, easily obtainable. But ATOM's real challenge lay in its preparation.

In terms of preparation difficulty, ATOM ranked third.

First was GOD, second was ANOTHER, third was ATOM.

ATOM's preparation required attention to poison transformations. The toxins in it weren't static—they changed constantly, never repeating a previous poison. Under these conditions, chefs had to complete the preparation before the poison changed. The difficulty was astronomical—each poison existed for mere instants.

Chefs needed to instantly identify the specific poison and immediately create an antidote. Otherwise, the poison would transform, forcing them to start over.

ATOM's poisons were absolutely terrifying—not something just anyone could neutralize. Fast transformation rates and extreme toxicity pushed ATOM's preparation difficulty to incredible heights.

In the original story, the capture and preparation team were both poison experts—Poison Man Coco and poison cuisine specialist Tylan. As for Yuuki, while he wasn't a poison expert, his detoxification abilities were incredibly powerful.

He'd copied Don Slime's Cells, which could directly devour ATOM's toxins. So now Yuuki could even drink ATOM straight.

Of course, that wasn't the best solution. Using that method meant only he could eat it—others couldn't.

So Yuuki had to properly remove the toxins.

The simplest method? Use the Mobile Kitchen.

Using the Mobile Kitchen combined with his enhanced vision for observation.

For others, the Mobile Kitchen wouldn't help. The Mobile Kitchen created a space similar to the World of Souls, where time flowed at the same rate.

Using this method—person in the Mobile Kitchen with ingredients outside, or ingredients in the Mobile Kitchen with person outside—guaranteed enough observation time. But it was limited to observation only.

With space separated, aside from eyes, the other five senses were basically useless. To make contact required both in the same space, but once in the same space, the time flow advantage vanished. Under those conditions, ATOM's poison transformation speed would return to normal, negating the Mobile Kitchen's effect.

In the original story, Coco probably relied on his inner Poison Devil.

Everyone had their own methods.

——————

Yuuki now used the Mobile Kitchen to separate them, observing with his eyes. His eyes were far superior to Coco's now—not only seeing Electromagnetic waves but countless subtle details.

Through visual observation, Yuuki quickly discovered ATOM's patterns and gradually understood the poison transformations. After identifying the poisons, Yuuki rapidly created antidotes.

And before ATOM could transform again, he directly neutralized the poison. With that, ATOM—one of the eight ingredients—was secured.

——————

"Complete, We've got six ingredients now. Next, we just need to capture the final CENTER."

Yuuki announced.

As for GOD, they'd need to wait for the Gourmet Solar Eclipse.

"Without realizing it, we've collected six ingredients. This efficiency—only you could pull it off."

Jiro said with a smile.

Who could imagine PAIR, ATOM, and EARTH—three legendary ingredients captured on the same day by the same person?

And at this rate, after reaching Area 0, Yuuki would probably capture CENTER quickly too. That would be four ingredients in one day—absolutely terrifying to think about.

"Next is CENTER, but if I remember correctly, CENTER's located in Area 0. Getting into Area 0 isn't exactly easy."

Yuuki said.

While tunneling from below could reach Area 0, that method wouldn't be recognized by Earth itself. So even entering Area 0 that way would be useless.

They could only enter through Area 0's proper entrance. Otherwise, if Earth didn't approve, you'd never get in. With Earth's approval, you could enter from anywhere.

"That's right. The gatekeeper at Area 0's entrance is Dragon King Derous. Of course, that's only difficult for others—for you, Dragon King Derous can't stop you."

Jiro said.

He didn't know Yuuki's exact strength level, but the current Yuuki already put considerable pressure on him.

Hence, Derous facing Yuuki would be serving himself on a platter.
