In the Heavenly Sterility Palace—
Peace reigned for exactly **ten seconds**.
Then seven pillars of mortal energy exploded into the sky from Dustwind Valley.
Each one brighter, stronger, and cleaner than the last.
An alarm blared.
Heaven shook.
Paperwork burst into flames.
The Sterility Immortal stood up so fast his throne exploded behind him.
"WHAT—WHAT JUST HAPPENED DOWN THERE?!"
A panicked divine secretary bowed.
"My lord—seven mortals just gained massive strength increases simultaneously!"
The Sterility Immortal snarled.
"WHAT TREASURE DID THAT CHILD USE NOW?!
A relic?! A divine herb?! A forbidden pill?!"
The secretary shook his head, trembling.
"N-no, my lord. They gained this power from… Earth food."
Silence.
Absolute silence.
Then—
"WHAT IN THE HEAVENLY SANITATION MANUAL IS 'EARTH FOOD'?!!"

⭐ 1. THE HEAVENLY COUNCIL MEETS
A circle of divine officials gathered.
The Sterility Immortal raised a hand.
"Report. What did Dustwind consume?"
An angel tremblingly opened the scroll.
"Item one: Fried… Chicken."
A silence fell over Heaven.
Saint Clinical fainted in the background.
The Sterility Immortal hissed:
"Describe this… CHICKEN OF CALAMITY."
The angel continued:
"It is a fried meat coated in spices. The eater reportedly gained temporary omniscience, emotional transcendence, and mathematical understanding."
Thunder cracked.
"AND I HAVE NEVER ACHIEVED MATHEMATICAL ENLIGHTENMENT!"
The Immortal roared.
Another angel stepped forward.
"And then, my lord… Cheesecake."
The Immortal flinched.
"What vile technique is that?"
"Soft. Sweet. Creamy. Causes posture perfection, spiritual cleansing, emotional purification, and sudden levitation."
Everyone gasped.
"That is not food—THAT IS A DIVINE PILL OF THE HEAVENS!"
The Sterility Immortal slammed his fist.
"No mortal should have such power!
This is forbidden ascension!"
They continued reading:
"Instant Ramen — breaks bottlenecks."
"Bread — grants physical fortification."
"Ice Cream — induces enlightenment shock."
Heaven shook again.
"This is an arsenal of edible weapons!!" the Immortal shouted.

⭐ 2. THE IMMORTAL'S CONCLUSION
He paced the palace like a panicked cat with a mop.
"That child…
That chaos demon…
She has found ancient god-tier sustenance!"
The angels looked confused.
One asked timidly:
"My lord… maybe she simply liked the taste…?"
The Immortal smashed a divine pillar.
"TASTE?!
Taste does NOT cause seven disciples to ascend at once!
Taste does NOT create holy pigs!
Taste does NOT let a girl fix my Inspector-General's SOUL!"
He roared.
"This is WAR.
She feeds her soldiers with *forbidden power*!
Heaven must retaliate!"

⭐ 3. HEAVEN PREPARES A WEAPON
The Sterility Immortal spread a scroll on the table.
"Activate Project: STARVE CLEANSE."
The room fell silent.
A general stuttered:
"M-my lord… you can't mean—"
"Yes."
He slammed the scroll open.
"We deploy the **Heavenly Palate Destroyers.**
The Anti-Food Division."
A collective gasp echoed.
"But sir, that division is too cruel! No one deserves taste elimination!"
The Immortal's eyes burned.
"Miyu's Earth food grants power.
So we will send agents who can—
• Remove taste.
• Remove smell.
• Ruin texture.
• Turn deliciousness into punishment."
Gasps.
Cries.
One angel fainted dramatically.
"It is horrible," the Immortal said.
"Perfectly sterile.
And absolutely necessary."

⭐ 4. BACK IN DUSTWIND — MIYU MAKES PIZZA
Miyu floated calmly in the valley, unaware of Heaven's crisis.
She held a small slice of pizza from the System Shop.
"…Try?"
Tien shook his head violently.
"NO NO NO NO NOT AGAIN—"
Aurelius kneeled.
"Master, the last time we tried food, WE ASCENDED."
Lin Ruyin clutched her spine.
"I just fixed my posture—please—"
Auntie Bao held her mop defensively.
"Will this one cause inner combustion?"
But Jin Haru took the slice.
He smiled nervously.
"How bad can pizza be—?"
He bit down.
The ground shook.
Jin Haru rose into the air.
Flames spiraled around him.
His cube turned into a *literal cannon.*
Jin Haru screamed:
"WHY IS THE TOMATO SAUCE INCREASING MY ATTACK POWER—?!"
Tien cried:
"WE CAN'T FEEL SAFE EATING ANYTHING ANYMORE!!"
But Miyu simply took a sip of her coffee.
"…Tasty."
She had no idea she was feeding them **weapons-grade food.**

⭐ 5. ENDING — THE FIRST HEAVENLY COUNTER-FORCE
Far above, the Sterility Immortal raised his hand.
"Send them."
Clouds swirled.
A massive gate opened.
Figures stepped out—
Clad in gray.
Emotionless.
Carrying utensils of destruction.
"The Heavenly Anti-Food Division obeys."
"We shall make Dustwind taste NOTHING."
The Immortal pointed downward.
"RUIN THEIR FLAVOR.
DESTROY THEIR HOPE.
ERASE THEIR PALATES!"
The agents bowed.
"Operation: TASTELESS PURGE… beginning."
And somewhere in Dustwind, Miyu blinked.
"…Heaven is cooking something."
