Clayne stared blankly at the tiny gorilla trapped between his fingers.
For several seconds, his mind almost stopped working.
He actually caught it.
A real living creature from the cultivation world.
It wasn’t fake or imagined, not so weird hallucination from stress, it was alive, warm, moving, and struggling.
Clayne’s eyes slowly brightened with excitent while his grip carefully tightened just enough to stop the creature from escaping.
anwhile, the gorilla’s soul nearly left its body from terror.
The mont the massive heavenly hand seized it, every instinct inside the demon beast exploded with fear.
Its fur stood completely upright.
Its heartbeat nearly burst apart.
The gorilla wildly struggled while roaring in panic toward the endless sky above.
"Immortal God!"
"Please spare !"
"I taste terrible!"
The demon beast desperately tried to curl its body into a respectful posture even while trapped between the giant fingers.
"This humble beast has tough at! Rotten at! Bitter at!"
Its voice trembled endlessly.
"I have not bathed in months!"
"No, years!"
"I am filthy!"
The gorilla almost cried while speaking.
Its intelligence as a demon beast allowed it to understand exactly what was happening.
Ancient legends told of stories passed down among older demon beasts, terrifying beings above the heavens who treated living creatures like ants, and now one had grabbed it.
The gorilla beca more and more desperate.
"This humble beast is too skinny!"
"I barely have any at!"
"There are better beasts nearby!"
"There are deer!"
"Spiritual birds!"
"River fish!"
"Please spare !"
Its eyes watered while it begged frantically.
Inside the classroom, Clayne obviously could not understand anything.
To him, the gorilla’s terrified cries sounded like a tiny mosquito buzzing.
Still...
He stared at the creature thoughtfully.
"I wonder how you’ll taste."
The mont those words descended from the heavens, the gorilla almost fainted.
"If you taste like normal blood and raw at, it’s gonna be disgusting and I’ll spew you out."
The gorilla instantly nodded violently.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"This humble beast is disgusting!"
"Very disgusting!"
"My blood slls horrible!"
"My at is terrible!"
"I even eat poisonous mushrooms sotis!"
The demon beast eagerly insulted itself desperately.
"Please do not waste Immortal God’s divine stomach on this lowly beast!"
But Clayne ignored the buzzing completely.
Carefully, he brought the tiny gorilla closer toward his mouth.
The gorilla froze completely.
Then—
Clayne bit down lightly.
The gorilla imdiately scread in despair.
Its cries beca louder and more hysterical.
But to Clayne, it still only sounded like annoying buzzing from an insect.
anwhile, he focused entirely on the taste.
At first, he expected blood, raw at, sothing disgusting, and he prepared himself ntally for it already, then his eyes widened and he said, "Huh?"
Clayne chewed slowly, then again, and again.
His expression imdiately changed into shock.
Because the gorilla did not taste like at at all.
It tasted like gummy candy, sweet, soft, and chewy.
The flavor carried sothing strangely refreshing too, almost like fruit mixed with candy.
Clayne froze completely.
Then slowly...
Happiness spread across his face.
"Ohohohohoho..."
The tiny gorilla also realized sothing horrible imdiately.
The Immortal God liked the taste.
Absolute despair swallowed the demon beast instantly.
The gorilla roared wildly while struggling harder than before.
Its arms and legs flailed frantically.
But Clayne tightened his grip carefully.
He absolutely could not allow the thing to scream loudly enough to attract zombies sohow.
Then—
Crunch.
Crunch.
Crunch.
Clayne chewed repeatedly.
Inside his mouth, the tiny demon beast’s bones shattered one after another.
The gorilla’s struggles weakened rapidly.
Eventually...
Clayne swallowed, then silence returned for several seconds, and Clayne simply sat there blankly before suddenly saying, "Holy shit."
His eyes shone brightly, and he thought, food, actual food, not disgusting food either, because the tiny cultivation world beasts tasted incredible.
The realization nearly made him emotional.
Soon afterward...
Clayne beca a complete disaster for the beasts inside the miniature cultivation world.
The peaceful mystical forest transford into absolute chaos.
Birds flying above the spiritual mountains suddenly vanished beneath giant fingers descending from the heavens.
River fish swimming peacefully through the glowing waters disappeared one after another whenever massive shadows covered the rivers.
Several rabbit like spirit beasts fled through the forest in terror while giant fingers chased after them from above.
The beasts inside the miniature world entered complete panic.
To them...
The heavens themselves had gone mad.
Again and again, gigantic hands descended from the sky without warning.
So beasts vanished instantly.
Others scread in despair while being lifted toward the heavens.
Entire regions of the miniature world beca filled with frightened cries.
Clayne himself beca increasingly happier the more he ate.
Different beasts carried different tastes.
The birds tasted like sweet marshmallows.
The river fish tasted cold and refreshing, almost like jelly mixed with mint candy.
One strange lizard like beast tasted spicy enough to nearly make Clayne cough.
At one point, he even caught a tiny deer spirit beast that tasted like caral candy.
The entire situation felt surreal.
If soone told him yesterday that he would soday survive a zombie apocalypse by eating candy flavored miniature cultivation beasts from a magical world hidden inside a school project, he would have thought they escaped from a ntal hospital.
Yet now...
He was doing exactly that.
Still...
After eating many beasts...
Sothing strange happened.
Grrrrrrrgle.
A loud, hungry sound suddenly echoed from Clayne’s stomach, he froze instantly, and he said, "What?"
Clayne looked down blankly.
Then another hungry growl erged.
His expression slowly changed into disbelief.
"No way..."
He had eaten a lot already, several beasts, even that giant gorilla earlier, so why was he still hungry?
A strange uneasiness slowly appeared inside him.
Then suddenly—
BANG!
The classroom door shook violently again.
The undead outside resud pushing against the barricade.
Clayne imdiately rushed toward the desks before pressing against them firmly.
The pressure from outside no longer felt overwhelming, but his mind remained distracted.
His stomach growled again.
"How am I still hungry..."
While holding the barricade, Clayne began thinking desperately.
Maybe cultivation increased his appetite massively.
That sounded possible.
After all, his body had beco much stronger.
Stronger bodies probably needed more energy.
Or maybe...
The tiny beasts were simply too small.
Even if there were many of them, perhaps the amount of actual substance entering his body remained tiny.
Then another possibility appeared.
Maybe his cultivation realm was consuming the spiritual energy automatically while strengthening his body, leaving him hungry afterward.
Clayne frowned harder.
None of the explanations fully convinced him.
Then suddenly—
BOOOOOOM!
A terrifying explosion erupted sowhere outside the school.
The sound was so loud that the entire classroom trembled violently.
A powerful sonic boom followed imdiately afterward.
CRASH!
Several nearby windows exploded inward instantly.
Glass shards blasted across the classroom.
One particularly sharp shard flew directly toward the miniature world below.
Clayne’s heightened senses caught everything clearly.
The glass shard pierced deeply into the spiritual forest ground.
At first, nothing happened.
Then slowly...
The remaining sharp edges of the glass began absorbing spiritual Qi from the surroundings.
The glowing grass nearby dimd slightly.
The spiritual mist around the trees drifted toward the shard unnaturally.
Then sothing even stranger happened.
The beasts nearby suddenly beca confused, birds flying peacefully above the trees began circling erratically, fish swimming through the river slamd themselves repeatedly against rocks, and several demon beasts wandering through the forest stopped moving entirely before walking aimlessly in strange directions.
One rabbit spirit beast even walked directly into the river without reacting.
Clayne’s eyes narrowed imdiately.
"...What?"
The behavior looked unnatural, like the beasts had beco disoriented sohow, then slowly...
A realization appeared inside his head.
Outside the classroom, the zombies pushing against the barricade suddenly stopped.
One after another, they turned away from the door, then they ran, not walked, ran.
All of them rushed toward the direction of the explosion outside the school.
Within less than a minute, the hallway beca silent again.
Clayne slowly loosened his grip on the barricade.
Then he looked back toward the miniature forest.
The beasts inside still wandered around confused near the glass shard.
The spiritual Qi around that area flowed unnaturally toward the sharp edges.
And suddenly—
Clayne’s expression slowly froze.
His gaze moved toward the empty water bottle nearby.
Then toward the spiritual beasts.
Then toward his own stomach.
"...Don’t tell ..."
His eyes widened slightly.
"This is the reason why I’m still hungry?"
