Lord of Dreams – A Multiverse Fanfiction

Chapter 239: Hell’s Kitchen



Stating this, Sukuna's focus was then entirely shifted toward the lower half of Yuta's dissected body and more precisely near his gutt area where his energy reserves were located.

Right now, all Sukuna wanted to do was to grab this new energy and then swallow and assimilate it.

'It has the same origin as cursed energy, there shouldn't be a problem with doing this, after all, it feels like it is the merger between Positive and Negative energy with some other things added.'

'Not that it's important now as this is a gamble that I am willing to take to reach greater heights.'

'So what if I die? So what if I lose everything?'

'I don't care! I'm willing to give it all up! I'm willing to sacrifice everything!'

'Calculations? Plots? I don't care about any of that right now!'

His resolve not wavering for a single moment, the grin on Sukuna's face grew more and more twisted as his excitement finally reached its peak.

"Let's begin!"

*Crack*

*Pufff*

Swiftly digging into the "meal" in front of him causing blood to splatter everywhere, Sukuna showcased firsthand to the world why Crunchyroll mistranslated his domain as 'Malevolent Kitchen'.

However, as horrifying as this scene was, the grotesque and cannibalistic act was enough to wake all those who were still in a daze and hadn't reacted to what happened yet.

The first to react was of course Rika who instantly collapsed to the ground her mind unable to process the nightmarish scene in front of her.

"Y-Yuta!!!"

"N-No..."

"This can't be..."

"I must still be dreaming."

"This must be a nightmare!"

"AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

It's just that while her reaction was quick enough, the other sorcerers weren't that far behind as they quickly reacted slightly turning their heads away from the screen not wanting to continue watching the next scenes of 'Hell's Kitchen'.

*Pufff*

However, while there were many sorcerers around as they were grouping up, the most notable of them was Kusakabe who gritted his teeth bitting off the cigarette he was smoking as an uncomfortable feeling filled his heart.

'I knew it.'

'I knew that it wouldn't be that easy.'

'Things never are that simple, especially for us sorcerers.'

It's just that despite feeling uncomfortable, that was about all the feelings that Kusakabe actually felt as he didn't have much of a relationship with Yuta.

This somewhat calm response was very different from Panda, Inumaki, and Maki's who each instantly fell silent clenching their fists tightly and wishing to immediately rush there and take revenge.

And as a matter of fact, once the cannibalistic scene started unfolding, Maki had already begun making her way toward the battlefield.

She could accept the fact that a friend of hers died in battle, however, she wouldn't just stand there and watch his body being treated like that.

However, even if she did so, she knew that even if she reached the battlefield, she might not actually be able to do anything substantial as someone would have probably reached there quicker than her.

'What is that guy planning...'

*Vomit*

Meanwhile, opposite to the somewhat calm reaction of sorcerers who are relatively used to the deaths of their companions, the reaction from normal people all over the world was much more violent as people could be seen vomiting everywhere making their surroundings smell like a dumpster.

"Bughhhh"

*Pufff*

"Monster!"

"Someone must kill him!"

"Nuke him!"

"Just end him."

"..."

Such a reaction was of course to be expected as most people have never seen such a brutal sight in their lives.

Moreover, this scene also acted as a base to help them further understand what cursed spirits truly are and how malevolent and evil they could be.

Thinking of this, the previously calm population couldn't help but remember the cursed spirits around which were being held and frozen by some sort of mysterious power.

Looking at them, feelings of fear, anxiety, and panic spread like a wave causing everyone to swiftly move further away from any cursed spirit in sight.

It's just that what they didn't know was that their fear and anxiety acted as a boost that enabled the birth and growth of an innumerable number of Nightmare Spirits within the Nightmare Realm.

If Lorien were awake right now, he would most likely thank Sukuna for his timely help.

"What's going on with this world."

"I knew that this must be the end! I knew it!"

However, just then as people were losing hope, a beacon suddenly shone from the distance illuminating their path as Lorien who could be seen sitting on the large broadcasting screen suddenly moved.

"Yes! It's him!"

"He must be able to deal with it!"

"Come on! Wake up!"

Meanwhile, unaware of what the people and many sorcerers were thinking, Lorien who had just restored his energy reserves to their full state couldn't help but frown slightly as he sensed that something was amiss.

'Hmmm?'

'Why did I get this feedback, there shouldn't be a new Dream Path Walker...'

Scratching his head, Lorien finally decided to use his authority as the 'Pathmaker' to check the details, and as he did so, he finally couldn't help but facepalm and raise his head to the sky speechlessly.

"I shouldn't have expected much from a kid."

"However, to be honest, Sukuna's victory was determined even before the battle began as there is a large difference in experience between them."

"Without sufficient enough power to overpower Sukuna, winning against him is quite the pain in the ass as he is a great fighter."

Saying this, Lorien then stood up and looked toward the direction that Sukuna was in before adding.

"However, it seems that Sukuna still couldn't get past his bad habit of stealing stuff..."

"Well, It appears that I'll have to 'educate him' personally."
