The feast ended, but the aftershocks had only begun.
Thea Heesae's body glowed faintly, streams of starlight running through her veins. Her voice trembled.
"This… this isn't just food. My cultivation pathways… they've expanded infinitely."
Kyusugi Tyo clenched his fists. His Ω Reversal Core, once perfect and unshakable, had undergone something even he couldn't predict.
"This meal… it didn't strengthen me. It rewrote me. Even I cannot calculate where my limit ends now."
Hyung Fyi remained calm, his gaze cold and steady as always. His words dropped like laws.
"You misunderstand. The food isn't the source. It simply unlocked what you already were… and what you could become."
All around them, mortals and sovereigns alike who had eaten began to glow. Beasts roared, yet instead of destruction, their cries shook with newfound clarity and peace. Civilizations that had decayed for millions of years suddenly reignited with vigor, as though Hyung Fyi's meal had spread through timelines themselves.
A system notification flickered into existence—then shattered instantly.

[Hyung Fyi's Cooking]: Beyond System Classification
"Even the system can't measure it…" whispered Thea.
Kyusugi narrowed his eyes. "So even your cooking stands above cultivation, gods, and narratives themselves."
Hyung Fyi finally stood, his apron vanishing into streams of divine light as his Ω∞D system UI flickered coldly.
"This is nothing. Strength, cooking, wealth, power—it makes no difference. All are meaningless if they do not surpass their definitions."
In the distance, the fragrance of his cooking still lingered, drifting across universes. Unknown to them, beings far outside their multiverse paused. Authors stopped writing. Readers blinked in shock. Narrators faltered in their words.
And in the silence, one truth resounded:
Hyung Fyi's existence, even in cooking, was untouchable.
