Chapter 1766: 482 Hunger Kingdom and the Sky Eagle Starship … “Warning: You have been affected by the Hunger Kingdom of the Purgatory Domain Field! Hunger Kingdom: Within this domain field, if you choose to eat immediately due to hunger, you risk falling into slavery to the Devil of Hunger…” … An extremely oppressive and orderly strength rapidly spread from the cage, subduing the entire Starry Sky Theater in just a few seconds. For a moment, everyone in the theater couldn’t help but feel an intense sense of hunger. Some people instinctively reached for food to satisfy their hunger. But this action played right into the hands of the Devil of Hunger. She lay there naked in the iron cage, watching the beings from the astral world below with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. On the stage, the mantis businessman who was hosting the event was the first to sense something amiss. A flicker of panic crossed his eyes, “Where is that Goatman Female Slave?” “You are not her!” However, the female devil paid him no attention at all, not even deigning to glance at him directly! She simply sat quietly in the cage, her lips moving slightly. Immediately afterward, everyone in the Starlight Theater heard those sayings as if they came from purgatory— “All gluttons shall be reduced to mere food!” Along with those Blasphemy! sayings that sounded like demonic chants, the atmosphere in the theater suddenly became eerie, with most people unconsciously searching for something to eat. Many had brought no food, but driven by the hunger in their stomachs, they couldn’t help but cast greedy glances at their companions or strangers nearby. “Crunch, crunch!” The various sounds of chewing resonated through the theater like the bass line of a symphony. Under the influence of Hunger Kingdom, most people lost their rationality. They had become like hungry beasts, mindlessly devouring any living being nearby that could be eaten— Some who couldn’t find others to eat were driven mad by the hunger in their bellies and bit into their own fingers! Crunch, crunch! That astral creature bit off its own forearm, one piece at a time! Below the stage, similar scenes were countless. And the situation on the stage was hardly any better. Christopher, the host, was one of the few who still managed to stay clear-headed. There was a persistent blue light flashing on his chest— It was this mysterious protective artefact that guarded his mind and kept him from being attacked by those around him. However, the number of people pouring in from backstage was overwhelming. Although the alert Christopher had tried to evacuate the place at the first sign of trouble, during the escape, the poor mantis businessman was nevertheless overwhelmed and pinned to the ground by a group of hungry workers. The pale blue light quickly disappeared among the frenzy of mantis people. Under the female devil’s smirk, Christopher’s screams lasted only a few seconds before they were cut short— From being overwhelmed to being completely devoured, it took the mantis people enslaved by the Devil of Hunger less than seven seconds! It showed just how intense the hunger they felt in their stomachs was. “Didn’t Storluk Industries take precautions?” In the private box, Matthew’s expression was somber. The moment the Devil of Hunger made her appearance, he had activated Lost Paradise, protecting himself and Melinda, resisting the will erosion from the Hunger Kingdom. He had intended to further break down the ceremonial field of the Devil of Hunger. But whether it was because the other party had prepared in advance or not, the spread of Hunger Kingdom was faster than anything Matthew had ever seen! He had just begun to comprehend the contents of the ceremonial field when the entire Starry Sky Theater had already fallen firmly under the control of the Devil of Hunger! This rapid pace of Plunder made Matthew extremely alert. What surprised him even more was, it seemed Storluk Industries had hardly made any preparations in the Starlight Theater at all. The earlier security work, which had seemed adequate, now appeared to be nothing more than a meaningless, superficial procedure. “To think they’d let a Legendary Devil in…” “Maybe the Mantis people’s strength is a bit too shabby.” Matthew was frantically reading the situation inside the theater, trying to gather more information and seek a breakthrough. Just then, the quick-reacting Melinda cast several support spells on herself and Matthew. Then she said with a serious face, “This is bad.” “She’s very ambitious.” “She wants to turn the entire Space City into her Hunger Kingdom!” Melinda was a genuine quasi-legendary mage, especially knowledgeable in the outer planes, an undisputed expert. Matthew immediately believed her judgment. His brow furrowed, “Why doesn’t she come out of the cage?” Melinda explained, “In the cage is where her ‘Hunger Kingdom’ has such power!” “It is said that the Devil of Hunger traded ‘being forever trapped in an iron cage’ for the favor of Purgatory Will and successfully solidified ‘Hunger Kingdom’ onto herself!” “Once she leaves that iron cage, the power of this ceremonial field will be greatly reduced. Forget about engulfing Space City, even covering the entire Starlight Theater would become very difficult!” Matthew’s mind raced, “You know her?” Melinda nodded, “The Devil of Hunger, Aline Morgan, she is the third daughter of the Lord of Morgan’s Purgatory and styles herself as the shepherd of all living things.” “Any being with a desire to eat can easily fall into her servitude.” “Aside from that iron cage that not only traps her but has also contributed to her success, Aline also possesses a mysterious divine artefact called ‘Meat Mountain’, an artefact with extremely potent evil roots, suspected to be a treasure from the depths of Morgan’s Purgatory, almost no one has ever seen it alive, but it’s speculated that it is a mountain of flesh that never diminishes. Anyone who steps onto it will eventually become Aline’s slave…”
