Chapter 1438 Hunger Wave’s Activation  

"The Realm Spirit sent a distress signal?" The God King was overwhelmed with shock for the first time in his life, having never expected such a thing to ever happen.

He hurriedly waved his hand, condensing a barrier around the seventy Gods, saving those that were still alive. Without even taking a look back at them, he turned into a stream of light and first returned to the Mong Realm, contacting the Realm Spirit to see what had happened.

"This…! What the hell happened?"

…

"Happy Dinner!"

Krune smiled, snapping his finger as he activated his Hunger Law. Immediately after, he used one of the teleportation platforms to travel and reach the location where the entrance to that Secret Realm was.

After that, he closed his eyes and continued to wait.

…

"That would be ten Rank 3 Blood Pills," a shopkeeper said as he handed over a Nine Star God Foundation Realm sword to the customer. He was a middle-aged man with a big mole on his forehead, creating a distracting visage.

"That's pretty expensive." The customer, a rather talented teenager hailing from a decently powerful family, spoke, hesitant on whether or not she should buy such an expensive sword.

After all, she already had a good enough sword that she had been using. It was something that would be useful for her until she reached the God Core Realm.

It was pretty much a waste of money to buy a second sword, that too for something that would become useless for her soon after.

'However, I need a spare weapon for this mission. If my weapon breaks, I might die. Just saving up money without using it when necessary is plain foolishness,' she thought, nodding as she paid for the weapon. 'I'll earn enough during this mission.'

But just as she turned around, she suddenly felt hungry as her stomach growled. "Why am I hungry all of a sudden?"

"Gah!" She suddenly slumped to the ground, clutching her stomach as her stomach rumbled. It was as if she hadn't eaten for a month as her state of hunger continued to worsen. "I need… to eat something."

She hurriedly took out some food from her storage ring and gobbled it up hurriedly, unable to tolerate the hunger.

Unfortunately for her, though, even after she ate until her stomach felt like bursting, her hunger wasn't satiated. It only reduced for a few minutes before worsening immediately after.

That wasn't all. It felt like if she didn't eat anything soon enough, her stomach itself would gobble her up.

"Shit! What's happening to me…" the teenager shouted in alarm when she paused, alarmed to see the eyes of the shopkeeper looking at her as if she was a piece of delicious food.

But not even a second passed when he flinched in response. After all, the gaze directed at him by the teenager was even worse than his own, like a hyena that wouldn't let go of even shredded meat, even ones that had rotted, displaying endless avarice.

Bam!

It was unknown who attacked first. But the teenager gasped for breath, gazing at the bloodied corpse of the shopkeeper before her. Some of his blood had fallen over her clothes, forming stains.

Though, the teenager didn't seem to mind as she felt as if the corpse before her was of the utmost delicacy. Slowly, she was losing reason.

"No! I'm not barbaric enough to eat someone raw!" she shouted, breathing out flames to roast the corpse before her as she took on her demon beast form, thinking that she would at least stomach eating someone like this.

Gulp!

She ate the shopkeeper, sighing in relief when her hunger was satiated, "Phew, finally…"

Unfortunately for her, not even two minutes spanned past when her sense of hunger grew once again. And this time, it seemed somewhat stronger than before. Her sense of reason was also affected more this time, causing her to breathe out a pillar of flame, killing a lot of people on the street.

They had also been aiming at one another when they got killed.

The demon beast gobbled them all up, finally sighing in relief. But no more than ten minutes later, her sense of hunger became even worse. And this time, she was unable to suppress it any longer, losing all sense of reason as her carnal instincts of hunger took over, causing her to target any living thing that was close by.

She wasn't the only one affected by this, though. Everyone in her city turned out the same. They restrained themselves at the start. But once someone with weak willpower gave in, they killed the other party to save themselves.

Upon gazing at a corpse before them, they eventually gave in. It was a vicious cycle after that as their hesitation slowly vanished while they gave in to their sense of hunger further and further.

Moreover, a fruity smell pervaded throughout the city, further accelerating the rate at which people lost their sense of reasoning.

"Dad! Dad! Stop it! Dad!" an immortal shouted in alarm upon seeing his dad behaving the same as everyone else.

Upon seeing that his father was no longer responsive, he used a Godly Ability to knock him unconscious. Picking his father up, the immortal began to fly away from the city. "Something is wrong with this city. I should first get out of this place."

He quickly escaped while carrying his father, observing the streets filled with cultivators that jumped onto one another, eating them up like ravenous zombies.

"They seem to have lost all sense of intelligence." The immortal grunted in fear and confusion, gazing at the unconscious figure of his father. "Please be safe."

"Right, the ultimate doctor should be close by. As long as I find him, I'll be able to cure my dad." Thinking as such, the immortal blasted through the skies, speeding towards a certain location on the outskirts of the city.

Hungry!

Suddenly, he lost control over himself, collapsing to the ground under extreme hunger. "W-What is happening to me?"

He was overcome by an uncontrollable urge to eat, something that didn't diminish no matter what he did. Self-harm, pills, food, no matter what he did, his sense of hunger only continued to increase.

Slowly, his eyes lost their glimmer as a carnal expression appeared on his face as he gazed at the figure of his father nearby. And slowly, his hands reached for him.
