Toriko: Gourmet Chat Group

After returning to the Human World, Kenji summarized his gains from the trip. He had obtained the salad, AIR, from Acacia's Full Course Menu. Less than a tenth of the ingredients he had brought to use as nutrients for AIR remained. It was a worthy trade; those ingredients could be captured again in the Gourmet World.

He remembered that in the manga, AIR was added to Toriko's Full Course Menu. Now, Toriko would probably have to find another ingredient. But the Earth was so large, and the universe was even bigger. There were so many ingredients out there; Toriko would eventually complete his own Full Course Menu. Therefore, Kenji felt no guilt or embarrassment.

After Ichiryu returned, he found Kenji and told him not to share the salad, AIR, with Toriko and the others just yet. He could share it with them after they had finished their training ingredients. Compared to an instant power-up, the training ingredients Ichiryu had assigned would allow them to first adapt to some of the harsher environments. Kenji understood Ichiryu's intentions and agreed immediately.

My children, can I still be saved?

Kenji had gotten a "golden" reward from his daily sign-in, but this gold was a bit too heavy. He had obtained the Power of Ohma. He now had abilities like the manipulation of time, but with the small flaw that he couldn't play the summoning game, nor could he transform into the Ohma Zi-O armor. The power was now his own. His mastery of the Power of Ohma couldn't reach the level of the old Demon King; after all, the sign-in hadn't given him the old king's strength and experience, but rather a source-like power. How strong it could become depended on himself.

With the power of Aurelion Sol and now the Power of Ohma—time, space, creation, and more—he was no longer lacking in any area. After eating Acacia's Full Course Menu, he would go and eat the ingredients of the cosmos. He just had to wait for the Gourmet Solar Eclipse; GOD was still impossible to capture right now.

To get a reward of this level from the sign-in system, he suspected he had paid for it with his life force, even though he had plenty of lifespan to spare.

The power of time... aside from a relatively normal world like Erina's, almost every other world had it. For example: the Honkai world had the Herrscher of the End; the Marvel world had the Time Stone; the Genshin world had the God of Time; the One Piece world had the Time-Time Fruit; the Pokémon world had Dialga...

[Gudako]: How is this fair?! Why can't I ever get a golden reward?

Ritsuka Fujimaru was green with envy. Her daily sign-ins were always just points, never any tangible rewards. This sign-in system was even worse than the gacha because it had no pity mechanism. It was all purely based on luck.

[Star Forger]: Getting a golden reward sometimes requires paying with your life force. Who knows, tomorrow I might get hit by a Fortress Rhino or something.

In the world of Toriko, it was highly probable he'd be hit by some kind of beast.

[The Destroyer]: The power of time... is that the same power that Zi-O possesses?

[Star Forger]: There are similarities, but I can't summon other Kamen Riders for fun like the old Demon King, nor can I transform into Kamen Rider Ohma Zi-O.

The Ohma Zi-O armor was probably just a manifestation of his power. Even without transforming, the old Demon King was likely just as formidable. But it was a TV tokusatsu show, so having an armor was normal. A situation where he just fought monsters in his human form would be too strange for tokusatsu.

[The Destroyer]: Speaking of Zi-O, how does that Sougo fellow get his butt kicked so often?

Tsukasa Kadoya had been keeping an eye on Zi-O but couldn't see any of the prestige of the King of Time. Although he always managed to solve the problem in the end, his performance was somewhat disappointing.

[Star Forger]: That's because he hasn't inherited the family fortune yet.

In the TV series finale, Geiz's sacrifice grants him boundless power. He inherits the family fortune, transforms into Ohma Zi-O, and becomes a boss-level existence for the other Kamen Riders, taking them out one kick at a time.

[Dian Mei Ruan]: Terminus, the Aeon of Finality, is related to time. However, those who have had an audience with Terminus are very mysterious, on par with those Historiographers.

Terminus, the one who moves against the flow of time, walking from the future to the past. As for who has had an audience with Terminus, Elio, that slave of fate from the Stellaron Hunters, is suspected by many to be a being walking the Path of Finality. The Corporation has issued a warrant to capture Elio alive, possibly to study it.

[Monkey D. Kizaru]: Time... kowai ne~. My world shouldn't have something like that.

[Star Forger]: How could it not? Your world has the Time-Time Fruit, which allows the user to travel through time and even send others through time.

[Star Forger]: Besides that, there are other Devil Fruits related to time, such as the Slow-Slow Fruit, which can make things affected by its ability move extremely slowly, and the Return-Return Fruit, which can reverse the time of objects.

The Slow-Slow Fruit was a very rare time-based Devil Fruit, yet it was used in such a pathetic way.

[Monkey D. Kizaru]: Putting the others aside for a moment, is the Time-Time Fruit really real?

Kizaru was surprised. He had seen the Time-Time Fruit in the encyclopedia, but he hadn't heard any news of its appearance in so many years that he had started to think it was just made up.

[God's Tongue]: This is ridiculous. To be able to master an ethereal ability like time... I'm so weak and powerless here.

As a member of a relatively normal world, aside from its special cuisine, there were really no other supernatural abilities.

[Star Forger]: @Miss Pink Elf♪ Ellie, the Herrscher of the End that you will eventually have to face has the power of time.

[Miss Pink Elf♪]: Sigh, the Herrschers are getting more and more troublesome. And the last one is related to time? ♪

Elysia felt a headache coming on. That sounded very difficult to fight. So, if she could become the Final Herrscher herself, that would be for the best.

[Star Forger]: Ellie, is Fire Moth out of people? Why do they make you go out every single time?

[Miss Pink Elf♪]: It would be too dangerous for the others to face a Herrscher.

[Star Forger]: Hasn't Mobius's MANTIS project been sorted out yet?

Ancestor Kevin, you need to step up! That way, Ellie can have a much easier time.

[Miss Pink Elf♪]: It should be ready soon, but the higher-ups...

Kenji understood. They were worried that the MANTIS soldiers would become too strong and threaten their positions.

[Ghost of the Uchiha]: Elysia, you should learn from me. Just hang the higher-ups on the lampposts. It saves time and effort. Don't tell me you don't have the strength to do it?

[Star Forger]: Madara's right. That Dr. MEI is very capable. To resist foreign aggression, you must first pacify the interior. As long as the Honkai hasn't increased its difficulty yet, now's the time.

Kenji didn't want to comment on those insects from the Previous Era. There might have been one or two who did their jobs properly, but most of the higher-ups were just obstacles. They had also "contributed" to making the fight against the Honkai so difficult. For example, the Serpent, which had tried to assassinate Mobius and MEI. If they had succeeded, the Previous Era would have had an even harder time fighting.

[Gudako]: The Blue Sky is dead, the Yellow Sky shall rise! Rise up and become your own masters!

[Lady Justice]: Big Sis Ellie, if you need anything, just call me. I can do anything now!

[Lady Justice]: By the way, @Star Forger Kenji, I caught that All-Devouring Narwhal you mentioned, and a woman too. What should I do with them?

She hadn't killed anyone in those five hundred years, so even with this power, she wouldn't kill casually.

Skirk's inner thought: I apologize for not providing Lady Furina with a satisfying fight.

[Star Forger]: Just lock them up for now and see if the Surtalogi will come.

Kenji was amused. Tartaglia's master, Skirk, was not weak, but Furina's strength was undoubtedly greater. She had probably tried to snatch the All-Devouring Narwhal from Furina, only to be counter-killed and pinned to the ground for a sound thrashing. Her expression at that time must have been spectacular. Since when were the elemental gods this strong? Is this even the elemental power I know?

Furina: There is a limit to elemental power, therefore I...
