Chapter 506: Chapter 504: Demonic Feast (Part 2)

Compared to the first two dishes,

Mr. Rabbit’s "Muscle Rabbit Vegetable Jellies," through extreme sculpting of the dish’s appearance and the alternation of hot and cold temperatures, brought a desire to explore this gourmet dish with its physical beauty,

while Jian’s "Thousand-layer Pork Magic Rice Bowl" stimulated the individual’s taste directly through the aroma, coupled with the images of a meat forest formed by magic to enhance the desire to eat, making one eager to devour the delicious rice bowl.

As the chief clown, Art adopted a means of enticement appropriate to his own trait,

Since he couldn’t achieve the "form" of Mr. Rabbit or the "flavor" of Jian, he began with the very essence of meat quality,

using the properties of malignant tumors to keep the chopped and deep-fried meatballs semi-conscious, and this consciousness integrated well with the meatball structure to provide an excellent texture based on each individual’s oral environment,

while continuously whispering ’requesting to be eaten’ to the taster.

Under the influence of the whispering, William indeed developed an intuitive desire to eat the meatballs.

He picked up his knife and fork and began to cut.

When the blade touched the fried meatball’s surface, the crispy skin obligingly split open, accommodating the cut.

Ssss~

A surge of meaty aroma steamed out from inside, making William feel as though he had stepped into a den of malignancy.

In the deepest part of the den, endless bodies accumulated there, some congealed into alluring female forms, beckoning William with their arms to taste their bodies, while others posed as if feeding, attempting to awaken William’s longing for motherly love.

At the magic banquet table, the somewhat dazed William had only intended to cut a small part, but what he actually cut off was a large chunk of meat,

a chunk so wide that he had to fully open his mouth just to fit it in.

Natalie, noticing something amiss, was about to warn William when a malevolent gaze fell upon her, accompanied by Art’s voice.

"My dear Natalie, do not disturb little William’s meal. Eating during the magic banquet is a personal act, and it’s not good for outsiders to interfere. I would be very unhappy,"

Art’s words lingered like brain-burrowing worms, forcing Natalie to grit her teeth and give up.

Moreover, she had already warned William many times; since he wouldn’t listen and was still indulged in eating, there was no need for her to continue reminding him.

"William, you’re on your own now."

By this time, William had already forced a large chunk of the fried meat into his mouth, his lips smeared with tomato sauce and grease.

The tongue carried the meat,

and because the portion was too large, the fried meat stuck to every part of William’s mouth,

the strong meaty fragrance causing tiny tumor-like points to sprout densely from the mucous membranes in his mouth,

his teeth trembling slowly as they came down, crushing the crispy skin, as if a bomb had exploded in his mouth.

BOOM!

Particles of meat burst forcefully between the mouth, the primal aroma of meat rising like a mushroom cloud.

Not just the stimulation of the mouth,

William’s body too underwent changes along with this ’meat explosion.’

"Delicious!"

Even aware of the dangers in the eating process, William still chose to immerse himself in the deliciousness of the fried meatballs.

As the chewed meat reached his stomach, William’s entire body underwent changes along with the fried meatballs, specifically a kind of ’swelling’ transformation.

William’s consciousness, along with this gustatory impact, reached a peculiar room called "Balloon House,"

where chief clown Art was making balloons used for performances,

Art tore his own throat, pulled out his trachea, and then inserted the trachea’s end into various human skins, beginning to rapidly inflate and create human balloons.

Soon it will be William’s turn... swoosh! The organ inserted into the mouth,

"Inflate."

William’s body continued to swell during this process,

not just on the consciousness level, but his body sitting in the magic banquet room also began to swell similarly, the swollen body already touching the dining table, ready to explode at any moment.

Once his body bursts, William might survive by leveraging his Death Attribute, but such disruption during the magic banquet would face severe punishment.

Not far away, Art was peeking out, eager for the delightful sight of the balloon exploding.

However, as time ticked by second by second.

No matter how much William’s body expanded, it never burst.

Or rather, the physical impact from the meatballs had been within William’s calculations from the start. The chunk of meatballs that seemed to be stuffed into his mouth were actually the maximum his body could withstand.

His physical elasticity and toughness had reached their limit under Zede’s training, coupled with the "Perfect Birth Body" recently acquired at the Sheep Palace, his body had already transcended his peers.

When the last piece of meatball was chewed,

hiss—William’s naval door began to vent on its own, and his bloated body slowly returned to its original form.

Burp! A satisfied burp that only William could hear sounded as he slowly opened his eyes and took a deep breath to regulate his state.

"Phew~ It was really too thrilling... Each piece of meat was cut just right. Had there been a bit more, I couldn’t have handled it; any less, and I wouldn’t have tasted this intense deliciousness of the meat!

No wonder he is the chief clown, fully integrating the trait of a malignant tumor, and combining the boss meat’s fear effect to achieve the ’balloon’ eating illusion.

It’s the first time that eating has been so exciting, quite impressive~"

William smiled with satisfaction and turned to Art, even nodding to express his culinary gratitude.

Art’s expression remained unchanged. He wasn’t angry; in fact, a more exaggerated smile cracked under his smiley face mask, seeming to find this young man even more interesting.

The boss also gave a thumbs up, absolutely affirming Art’s meatballs, such intense meat collision even made the boss feel a bit younger.

Next came the fourth course, prepared by the beast tamer, Zock.

Unlike the brain sculpture cold cut he usually made, this time it was a piping hot cooked dish, still bubbling when opened.

[Deep Sea Flavored Pork Bone Stewed Fish Brain Soup]

Zock used a leg bone for the boss’s meat, paired with the fresh brains of fishmen bred in the zoo to make this special stew. The colour was mostly dark, but the taste was not bad at all—the clear aroma of the ocean mixed with the fragrance of bone.

As soon as William had a spoonful, the buzz! His Madness Brain was instantly activated, and his skull even popped open automatically... His black Madness Brain was radiating a liquid luster.

His consciousness was taken to the ocean, tied up by a school of fierce fishmen being taken to the depths, continuously experiencing the psychological fear brought by the unknown deep sea.

Perhaps due to the homogeneity of the Madness Brain, William finished all the soup in ten seconds and even wanted to stand up and have a Madness Brain collision with Zock.

Then came the fifth course.

Prepared by Circus No. 2 troupe leader - the Natalie sisters, [Secret Sauce Meat Pasta],

utilizing their best meat folding technique to create special noodles, topped with chopped, fried, marinated, and steamed breast meat sauce.

On recommendation,

William found the ’beginning’ of the noodle, put this single strand into his mouth, and kept slurping without stopping till the plate was empty.

The noodles were unbroken, the meat sauce evenly hung among them, the perfection of it was impeccable.

His consciousness felt like it was taken to the circus’s training ground, helped by several ladies doing challenging yoga poses, when William woke from the dining table, his back and thighs were even sticking together.

The ’friendly’ sisters also greeted him with a smile, appreciating how this young man completely accepted the delicacies without resistance.

The sixth dish, from the third troupe leader of the circus, Mozander, [Ham Chicken Burger], using the boss’s thigh meat freshly dried into the ham on-site.

With each bite, whether it was the vegetables, meat elasticity, or the springiness of the bread, it surpassed imagination,

making William feel like he was pole-vaulting, only with no mats below, jumping and crashing down repeatedly. Although not as tasty as the previous courses, this was definitely the best burger William had ever eaten.

The seventh dish was innovatively prepared by the Assistant Clown, Catherine — "Exploding Small Octopus Brain Meat."

The inspiration might have come from the Bursting Rice Noodle William once made. She chose pork belly, which was fat-rich, minced it, and stuffed it into the heads of small octopuses. By sealing and steaming, she caused the octopuses to shrink, making the meat brains collide and create an exploding effect.

The on-site result was quite good, though the taste was pretty ordinary. William had finished eating it without even being taken into an illusion.

Additionally, the Ventriloquist—Harida prepared a [Sleep-Ease Relaxation Curry Flavored Omelette Rice], which surprisingly induced an ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) during the meal.

And the Assistant Beast Tamer—Carlo Pess made [’Boss and Snake’ Grilled Meat Skewers], where the snake meat paired with the boss meat was mutually refreshing.

Finally,

The already somewhat full companions turned their gaze to the large pot that William had placed at the center of the table.
