Chapter 57: Leo Awakens Successfully
Michael had successfully awakened, so his spirit was high and his thinking clear.
Looking at Leo’s current state, he was definitely hit by some strong stimulation so intense that even though his body was temporarily not controlled by his consciousness, he still couldn’t resist it.
Thinking back to what he had experienced on this continent, the strongest stimulation that made him drool was definitely when he met Cook God.
Eating dragon meat, even just one piece, he still couldn’t forget it no matter what. Just thinking about delicious food in his head made him drool again because of that unreasonable meat.
"I think I understand what’s happening to him."
Michael looked at Raphael with eyes that had seen it all. Seeing his extremely confident look made Raphael curious despite himself.
"What on earth could make Leo drool so greedily like that?"
The more Raphael looked, the more it seemed like Leo was eating something tasty, but he didn’t think anything that good existed on the continent.
He was at the top of noble society, so of course he had eaten all kinds of delicacies to the point of being sick of them.
Even something as rare as a nine-star energy monster, he had eaten a few times. The flavor was definitely great, but it still couldn’t make him drool like this.
"This look is pretty similar to when Cook God invited me to eat dragon meat. I’m telling you, dragon meat has a flavor beyond my imagination. If it weren’t made of energy, I’d think it was some illegal drug that causes intense stimulation."
As he spoke, Michael couldn’t help but swallow some saliva. Every time he remembered that damn moment, his drool would flow uncontrollably.
Luckily he could forget it when not reminded. Otherwise, he’d look no different from a drooling dog.
"Dragon? How can you eat the meat of energy monsters that haven’t appeared on the continent for so long? Wait! You just said you met a god? So does that mean Leo also..."
Just thinking that Leo might also be an inheritor of a god’s power, Raphael’s heart exploded with excitement.
Everyone knows that in history, the gods belonging to humanity were only Sun God and Sea God who were famous. Legend says there was also one called Moon God but they’d appear in the future and no one knows which era.
Raphael knew that The Great Sun Temple once held the divine artifacts of both Sun God and Moon God. But Moon God’s divine artifact had gone missing at some point.
Within the inner circle, aside from the Sun family, no one knew if it was lost, stolen, or hidden by someone.
Now hearing that Leo also had the chance to become a god was really great news. That way, as long as he protected him well, he’d have support from two gods.
By then, the probability of smashing Sun Capital would be about ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent.
Replacing The Great Sun Temple was hard to say, but smashing the whole of Sun Capital was a sure thing with the help of two gods. Unless The Great Sun Temple in this era also had two gods show up.
"High chance that’s the case. If Leo met a god, then in that special space, senses work really well. Maybe he was invited to eat... one piece?"
Michael didn’t want to say Leo was invited to a whole meal of dragon meat because he was... jealous. He only got to eat exactly one piece. If Leo got to eat freely, he’d probably die of jealousy.
"One... piece?"
Raphael stared hard at Michael with extreme suspicion, but Michael kept turning his face away to avoid his gaze. Looking at this situation, Michael definitely got pranked by Cook God before.
"Ha ha, I think one piece is fine. I’m a top-tier noble and haven’t even eaten one piece yet."
Seeing Michael’s current uncomfortable look made Raphael find it a bit funny. He didn’t expect a genie to have such a casual temperament. Cook God teased Michael, so his temperament was probably whimsical too.
Maybe Sun God or Sea God were also like that, but descendants recording things naturally wouldn’t expose those ’embarrassing’ points of their ancestors.
So the image of gods to the common people was a bit too noble and distant from mortals.
"Hmph, do I care if it’s one piece or eating until full? Eating is all about the flavor anyway. But just remembering dragon meat makes me think of that despicable and annoying face."
Michael snorted and then badmouthed Cook God. Normally speaking, looking at Cook God’s face, you’d only see terror.
But Michael altered his own memories to blur the terror and add despicableness and annoyance to him, changing his image to make it easier to badmouth him.
At this moment, the light radiating from the wound on Leo’s chest gradually faded. The stab wound also disappeared along with it, leaving no trace.
Leo slowly opened his eyes, bringing with it a strange aura radiating from him. He was still him, but inside his body there had been some enormous change.
"Ha ha ha, I never thought I’d get to eat a full meal like that. I feel like I’ve become picky now."
Just waking up, he laughed loudly because of a meal, not because of awakening successfully. The more cheerfully he laughed, the darker Michael’s face became.
"What did you eat that made you laugh so hard?"
Even though he had already guessed, Michael still held onto a tiny bit of hope and asked. People like to compare, and he did too. When not busy with anything, comparing was a good form of entertainment.
"It’s dragon meat. I never thought I’d get to eat that legendary creature. Eat God is really generous. Before handing over the power to me, they let me eat until I was sick of it. I ate nonstop for a whole day there, eating so happily I forgot everything else."
Getting to eat the best thing on this continent, and also inheriting the highest power on the continent. With double joy like this, it’d be strange if Leo didn’t laugh like that.
