Chapter 241: The Giant Stinky Durian Star

Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪」∠) Blech

"What is that smell?! It stinks so bad!"

As the Astral Express was navigating through the universe, a heaven-stinking odor washed over them. The stench was beyond words. Their facial features twisted uncontrollably, all of them turning into abstract expression-pack memes.

Gardevoir fainted directly from the smell. Kenji quickly opened the odor-shielding system.

"The Giant Stinky Durian Star. One of the smelliest planets in the universe," Kenji said, his gaze piercing through the starry sky.

Five light-years away, there was a durian tree as massive as a galaxy. On it grew a single, giant durian, shrouded in a foul-smelling gas that distorted vision. What an astonishing stench.

"Don Slime once said that he wants nothing to do with this ingredient," Kenji said, frowning.

At first, the giant durian tree had no smell. The surrounding stars were all fine. But when the durian fruit was born, a sky-piercing stench directly annihilated the surrounding stars, making all the stars in the entire system vanish from the universe. A stench sufficient to annihilate stars... one could only imagine how terrifying it was.

Although it was said "the smellier it is, the tastier it is," how many people could break through the giant stinky zone to capture the Giant Stinky Durian Star? The smelliest Durian Bomb on Earth was nothing compared to this.

"Should we eat it?"

Kenji was now very hesitant. This ingredient was too special; it made one feel a natural resistance. He was not a glutton like Toriko, who would charge in to capture something even knowing he would be knocked out by the smell.

"This is..."

Atashino was also unsure. They could smell this concentration of stench from several light-years away. What would it be like up close?

"Forget it. I'll go get a piece myself. Atashino, you all wait for me here."

As soon as Kenji's voice fell, he disappeared from the carriage.

In the vast universe, several white, humanoid figures surrounded Kenji, radiating a mystical aura. This was the manifestation of Food Luck. Only when one's Food Luck reached a certain level could it be manifested. As long as his Food Luck didn't disappear, Kenji would not be harmed.

It was very similar to the Durian Bomb. You couldn't have any other protection, or the fruit would dissolve. Only Food Luck could prevent this situation.

"It stinks!"

Kenji felt a strong urge to vomit. Although the power of his Food Luck blocked a lot of the damage, the stench still unavoidably rushed into his nasal cavity. He didn't even have to think about it; after he got the fruit pulp, his whole body would be pickled in the smell.

With the power of his Food Luck, he wouldn't be knocked out by the stench.

Hiss!

Kenji thought for a moment and threw out a piece of clothing. The moment it came into contact with the stench, it vanished, directly disintegrated by the foul-smelling gas. Terrifying.

As far as the eye could see, there was no life. This area, covered by the foul-smelling gas, had not a single living creature. It could be called a forbidden zone for life.

Kenji braved the stench and arrived at the location of the Giant Stinky Durian Star.

Hiss, hiss...

The stench here was at its most concentrated. Kenji could feel his Food Luck being consumed at a very fast rate.

SNAP!

A sound like a taut rope snapping was heard. Kenji suddenly looked up. The Giant Stinky Durian Star had ripened at this very moment. His face changed abruptly.

Bad luck! Bad luck! This is not good!

RUMBLE!

The moment the super-giant Stinky Durian Star fell, a cosmic storm of stench formed from the heaven-shaking odor swept out in all directions.

Almost at the same time, most of the creatures in the gourmet universe smelled this scent.

"This smell... Komatsu, is it familiar?"

Toriko frowned. The Curry Planet they were currently on was a full ten light-years away from Kenji's location.

"Yes. It's a bit like the Durian Bomb, but the flavor is much more impactful." Komatsu nodded. Thinking of the experience of capturing the Durian Bomb back then, his body couldn't help but tremble.

"The Giant Stinky Durian Star. I didn't expect someone would capture such a foul-smelling ingredient." The White Ogre explained to Toriko. This was no ordinary stench, but one countless times more powerful than a bioweapon. No creature was immune. Those with stronger resistance would just repeatedly pass out and wake up. Those with weaker resistance would be directly disintegrated by the smell. Even Gourmet Cell Demons like them would not approach it casually.

"This ingredient... it stinks so bad."

Toriko quickly covered his nose. His sense of smell was much more sensitive than others, so he could feel the invasion of the stench more directly.

"It stinks! Ooooh..."

On the other side, Sunny smelled the stench, foamed at the mouth, and collapsed.

All the creatures in the universe who smelled this scent showed pained expressions. They felt like their noses were about to break.

In the Azure Galaxy, the fish in the sea all rolled their eyes and floated to the surface. Although they weren't dead, they were half-dead and would need a long time to recover.

"Tsk! Who captured that thing?"

Don Slime said, speechless. He couldn't deny its deliciousness, but before you ate it, that stench was truly lethal.

"So smelly. The ingredients in space are really amazing."

Ichiryu smiled helplessly. Even he felt the urge to vomit.

Kenji's side.

"Bleegh~~"

Kenji was dry-heaving. This taste was just too overpowering. The smell of rotten fruit, the animalistic stench... hundreds of volatile sulfur compounds, esters, and aldehydes were working together, forming a complex impact of sweet and stinky. Even a bioweapon was no match for this Giant Stinky Durian Star.

"First bite, for the readers."

"Delicious!"

Just before his Food Luck was completely exhausted, Kenji dug out a piece of golden flesh. The dense texture melted in his mouth. When he tasted it, there was not a hint of stink, only a mellow, sweet flavor. The flesh of a normal durian had a stinky smell, but this one... had none at all. The sky-piercing stench was all emitted by the rind.

His entire mouth was filled with the sweet fragrance of the fruit. A feeling of happiness welled up, and all his troubles vanished into thin air.

What surprised him was that after eating this piece of flesh, he could no longer smell the stench, even without using his Food Luck.

The antidote is always within three steps. The durian pulp was the nemesis of the stench.

Kenji put away the fruit pulp and returned directly to the Astral Express.

"Are you guys alright?"

Saber Alter and Gardevoir were unconscious. Atashino was sitting weakly on the sofa, still conscious. A layer of mysterious, streaming light covered Streaming Light's body, so she was fine, but her brow was furrowed, indicating she also didn't like the smell.

"I'm fine... it's just too smelly," Atashino said with difficulty. The distance of several light-years couldn't stop the foul smell from attacking. Even the Astral Express couldn't completely defend against it.

"You'll be fine after eating this."

Kenji distributed the flesh of the Giant Stinky Durian Star to the two of them.

As for the two lying on the ground, Kenji stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and an idea came to him. He stuffed the fruit pulp into their mouths, held their chins with one hand, and made a chewing motion for them.

The durian jam slid down their throats and into their stomachs, directly awakening their minds.
