Seeing this, Mansam was also shocked.
Gourmet Town was one of the core cities of the Human World. And a large number of people were gathered here.
But at this moment, he discovered it was too late.
Because the Four-Beast's offspring had already attached themselves to the main body. After devouring a large amount of energy, the main body began to return to its prime form.
To defeat the Four-Beast in this state, you had to use absolutely powerful force. Of course, you could also use a move like Dinner of the Kings to directly devour the opponent.
The best choice was to use Dinner of the Kings.
This move could continuously devour the Four-Beast's flesh. After its body was damaged, it would continuously regenerate until the calories in its body were exhausted. So, using this move was the best.
The difficulty of learning this move wasn't actually high.
As long as your appetite energy reached a certain level, you could release this move. The power of this move also depended entirely on the person who condensed the appetite energy.
The Four Heavenly Kings had used this move against the Four-Beast in the original story, and in the end, they had indeed succeeded. But the four of them—working together, had only managed to create one sphere of Dinner of the Kings.
In the late stages of the story, with one ultimate move, Acacia had directly released countless spheres of Dinner of the Kings like raindrops. The appetite energy condensed in that one move was terrifying.
So, this move, as long as you could condense appetite energy and reach a certain level, you could use it.
Yuuki was naturally no exception. To deal with the Four-Beast, he had made a lot of preparations. He naturally also needed to master this move.
Toriko and the others had also learned about the Four-Beast's main body from Rin.
....
At this moment, they were very regretful, but it was useless.
Now they knew what they had to do: directly defeat the guy in front of them.
However, before the battle could begin, the Four-Beast directly sprayed out a large amount of green smoke. This smoke quickly formed a green cloud in the sky.
From the memories of its offspring, it knew that these guys were not easy to fight.
So it had released the Green Rain from the very beginning. Though the Green Rain couldn't kill the enemy at the first moment, the poison would continuously invade their bodies until their bodily functions stopped completely.
This was the Four-Beast's favorite move. Even if it couldn't kill the opponent at the first moment, it would slowly gain the upper hand and eventually finish them off.
But the range of this Green Rain was extremely large.
It quickly spread.
There were quite a few people outside the buildings in Gourmet Town. When this green rain fell, over five hundred million people were drenched in it.
"NOT GOOD! IT'S THE GREEN RAIN FROM THE GOURMET WORLD! CHEF YUUKI, WE MUST PREPARE AN ANTIDOTE IMMEDIATELY!"
Yuda, who recognized the Green Rain—immediately knew what he had to do. It was clear that this time, things had gotten out of hand!
Now, hundreds of millions of lives were threatened.
....
"Don't worry, Chef Yuda. When I was in the Land of Healing LIFE, I studied many of the Gourmet World's toxins in preparation for my journey. The Green Rain was one of them. I have an antidote."
"The only problem is, I don't have much of it on me. We'll need to contact the IGO to get the raw materials sent over."
Yuuki explained.
He had created a Green Rain countermeasure just in case, a contingency plan he was now glad he had. Originally, he had planned to let Komatsu try his hand at a solution first—but then he'd realized a critical flaw in the original story's logic.
In the original plot, Komatsu creates a simplified version of the Medicinal Mochi, and the IGO gathers chefs from all over the world to mass-produce it. But their time calculations only accounted for the production time.
Distributing those mochi to hundreds of millions of people?
That was a logistical nightmare of epic proportions.
To get it done in a few hours, including cooking time, was simply impossible.
Considering this, Yuuki had decided to use the aerosolized antidote he had developed. It didn't need to be ingested—it just needed to be sprayed over the affected areas.
Of course, he couldn't have just pulled out the antidote before the Green Rain appeared. That would have been too suspicious.
But revealing it now was perfectly fine.
As a Reviver who planned to enter the Gourmet World—it was completely normal for him to have studied its well-known toxins and created a countermeasure.
All that needed to happen now was for a poison expert like Tylan to announce a method to slow the toxin's spread, just like in the original story.
Then, the IGO could prepare the materials and the spraying equipment. The poisoned individuals would just need to step outside and let the aerosolized medicine rain down on them.
Even with this method, Yuuki knew that curing everyone in a few hours would be a challenge. It just went to show how overly simplified the original story was. When you really thought about it, the difficulty of saving that many people was immense.
The Medicinal Mochi could have saved some, but many more would have died.
Just as Yuuki was about to contact Mansam, the live broadcast suddenly went dead.
....
"What's going on? Why did the broadcast cut out?"
Yuuki asked, confused.
This hadn't happened in the original story. Though the Four Heavenly Kings had taken a beating, the broadcast had never been interrupted.
"I'll ask the IGO!"
Yuda immediately placed a call. Seeing this, Yuuki held off on contacting Mansam himself.
Soon, Yuda had his answer.
"The broadcast was cut on Director Mansam's orders. The situation has spiraled out of control. He's going to personally intervene and deal with the Four-Beast."
Hearing this, Yuuki thought for a moment and realized it made sense.
This battle was supposed to be a stage for the Four Heavenly Kings. According to the script, they should have finished off the beast quickly.
But the script had gone off the rails.
For some reason, the Four Heavenly Kings had fumbled, allowing the Four-Beast to unleash the deadly Green Rain. With hundreds of millions of people now poisoned—the situation was completely out of control.
Mansam couldn't afford to let it drag on any longer.
Who knew what else would happen? The death toll could climb even higher.
So, he was going to handle it himself. Cutting the broadcast was necessary to hide his intervention.
Otherwise, if the world saw that the IGO 'had' a powerhouse capable of handling the Four-Beast but had let the Four Heavenly Kings screw it up and cause a massive disaster, the public trust would be shattered.
....
Though Mansam had gone to the battlefield, the IGO was still operational. The various materials Yuuki needed were quickly airlifted to him.
Without a word, he began to rapidly produce the antidote.
"Alright, this is enough. Mix these into water and spray it down. That should cure the poison. You have a few hours, so it's up to you now."
Yuuki said.
From the moment the materials arrived to the production of the antidote, it had only taken him half an hour.
The main delay had been the transportation of the materials.
This was the most he could do. The rest was up to the IGO. He had given them a long window of time, and they didn't have to worry about distribution.
Just get everyone out from under cover and spray the antidote. At this moment, the poisoned were all following Tylan's instructions to slow the spread of the toxin.
So, as long as the IGO didn't screw up now, there should be no casualties.
"We really have you to thank, Chef Yuuki. If you hadn't studied the Green Rain in advance, who knows how many people would have died this time!"
Seeing that the problem had been solved, Yuda also breathed a sigh of relief. The thought of hundreds of millions of people on the brink of death just a moment ago chilled him to the bone.
But now the crisis was averted.
"It was just a coinci—"
Before Yuuki could finish, two powerful auras erupted from the distance.
....
"Is that the Four-Beast's aura? And Director Mansam's? What's going on? Why did the Four-Beast suddenly get so strong?"
Yuuki was baffled.
Both auras were strengthening at a visible rate. As for the Four Heavenly Kings, their auras were also strengthening. He knew what they were doing.
Because he could also condense appetite energy, he knew they were forming the Dinner of the Kings. But their progress was too slow. At the rate Mansam's and the Four-Beast's auras were increasing, by the time they finished, their attack would pose no threat.
"I don't know. Could it be that even Director Mansam can't take it down?"
Yuda asked, confused.
He knew Mansam was strong. In the original story, he had single-handedly held off most of the Gourmet Corp's GT Robos and beasts outside the main venue.
If Shigematsu hadn't ambushed him, he wouldn't have been seriously injured and would have probably charged right into the main battle.
But now, he was evenly matched with the Four-Beast.
"The auras are strengthening slowly. I remember hearing something about Director Mansam before. He's similar to Master Jiro—he's always in a sealed state."
Yuuki suddenly remembered. Mansam was indeed strong, but also uncontrollable. Like Jiro, he was usually sealed.
But Jiro didn't undo his seals because he was lazy. After undoing them, he could perfectly control his power. But Mansam was different. He couldn't control his power.
As the seals were undone, his strength would continuously swell, his muscles would bulge, and he would soon turn into a muscle monster.
At the same time, because of the rampaging power, he would gradually become unable to distinguish friend from foe.
But unsealing was a process—you couldn't regain all your sealed power in an instant. The Four-Beast was coincidentally the same type of fighter—the more attacks it took, the stronger it got.
It could be said that both of them were beings that could slowly get stronger.
"Chef Yuda, I'm going to go check it out. I'll be leaving now!"
After saying goodbye, Yuuki rushed towards the battlefield.
