System's POV

Chapter 627: The Way To A Person’s Heart Was Through Their Stomach



Thirteen watched with amusement as the Blaze Stacy Skunk, whom Thirteen referred to as Stacy, took a stroll inside Rocky's Mobile Fortress.

Walking right beside her was none other than Giga, who was very happy to finally gain a companion.

Unfortunately, Stacy was completely ignoring him.

But to the teenage boy's surprise, Giga didn't seem to mind and even looked amused at her attitude.

Blaze Skunks were proud monsters, and it was not very easy to tame them. They were also very deadly in many ways, especially once they unleashed their deadly spray that would make anyone want to run for their lives.

When Stacy was brought inside Rocky's Mobile Fortress, everyone distanced themselves from the sleeping beauty and only left Giga to stay by her side.

They knew that Stacy might feel threatened if she woke up in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by monsters whose Ranks were higher than hers.

The majority of them had already been exposed to Giga's "Giga Destroyer," so they didn't want to have an encounter with the "Stacy Destroyer."

Everyone was paying close attention to their brother, Giga, and was looking forward to how he would make the latest addition to their circle become one of their most dependable allies.

Stacy lightly prodded the Majin King's meat being roasted over the campfire.

She could tell that this was some high-quality meat she had never tasted in the past.

"Feel free to eat it," Giga said with a smile. "I made it just for you."

Stacy pretended to not hear Giga's words and just sat by the campfire in contemplation.

After waking up, the Chad Skunk beside her had explained where she was and told her other things that she needed to know.

She wasn't allowed to use her spray against the monster inside the Mobile Fortress because doing so would make their Master, Zion, very angry.

Stacy scoffed after hearing such a thing. Clearly, she didn't recognize her new Master as her Master.

However, she sensed that the monsters surrounding her were stronger than her, so she decided to be civil and did not attack them unless they messed with her first.

"You can eat, you know?" Thirteen said as he walked towards Stacy, who gave him a side- long glance.

Seeing that the teenage boy's Rank was the lowest in the group, she didn't treat him seriously and even looked at him in disdain.

Pica and Pico, who were perched on Thirteen's shoulders, looked at the newcomer with great curiosity.

The two baby Pocopocos had already experienced Giga's Giga Destroyer, so they had no intention of antagonizing Stacy, which was something that they usually do to people.

"Can you tell me how you appeared in the Cygni Continent?" Thirteen asked. "Usually, only Jinns come out of the Dimensional Gates. So, seeing a monster like you appear is a surprise for everyone."

Since Thirteen had the Universal Language Proficiency Skill, it was a very simple matter for him to communicate with anyone as long as they had a form of communication.

He was expecting that Stacy wouldn't answer his question. However, to his surprise, she answered him, which made Giga give his Master a thumbs up in his heart.

"What's so surprising about it?" Stacy asked back. "The Dimensional Gate appeared in the territory where I lived. I was curious why the Jinns entered it, so I decided to also enter it after all of them had left."

"So the Dimensional Gate where you came from didn't come from Gomorra but Solterra?" Thirteen inquired.

Stacy didn't say anything, but she still nodded to confirm Thirteen's statement.

Anyone born in Solterra would know the name of their world because it had been ingrained into their bloodline inheritance.

Most of the Dimensional Gates that open in Pangea came from Gomorra. However, there were cases where it came from Solterra.

Thirteen also knew that the members of the Order of the Apocalypse wished to enter Solterra through a Dimensional Gate.

However, whether they had succeeded in the past or not, no one could really tell.

The world of Pangea would reject any monsters above Rank 9, so Majin Princes and Princesses were unable to step foot on Thirteen's homeworld.

However, that didn't mean that their subordinates couldn't enter, so they made use of that to attempt to gain a foothold in the world of Pangea.

Camazotz even told him in secret that he also planned to invade Thirteen's world and was only missing the coordinates that would help him open a Dimensional Gate.

Thirteen was very tempted to help Camazotz appear in Pangea because, if the Death Bat managed to cross over, wouldn't that make things easier for him as well?

But he wouldn't do that.

Thirteen had his own principles, and although he got along well with Camazotz, there was no telling what his subordinates would do once they crossed over Pangea.

"Can you tell me the name of the place where you came from?" Thirteen asked.

Stacy refused to answer and simply reached out to take the roasted meat and took a bite out of

it.

A look of surprise appeared on her face, which made Thirteen and Giga smirk internally.

The way to a person's heart was through their stomach.

Although Stacy wasn't a person but a monster, the same rule applied to her.

The teenage boy and the Chad Skunk wanted to get along with Stacy, so they decided to use their Trump Card, which was the Majin King's meat.

Thirteen wanted to personally roast the meat for Stacy, but everyone, including Giga, begged

him to not do it.

All of them had been duped by the smell of Thirteen's cooking in the past.

The food the teenage boy made smelled incredibly good, making their mouths water.

However, all these foods would taste like bubblegum inside their mouths, which was the reason why the teenage boy was no longer allowed to cook for anyone.

After finishing her meal, Stacy became very satisfied, so she answered more of Thirteen's

questions.

But the more she answered, the stranger the teenage boy's expression became.

"Tell me, have you seen the Fiend, Wormwood by chance?" Thirteen asked.

Wormwood was one of the Seven Fiends of Solterra, and he was also known as the Fiend who spread plagues upon the world.

He was a good friend of the Sea Serpent, Forneus, who was also a Fiend and was the previous

Guardian Deity of the Valbarra Archipelago.

"You know Lord Wormwood?" Stacy asked in surprise.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I don't know him personally, but I have heard of him," Thirteen answered.

The Fiend of Plagues and Pestilence was a walking calamity.

Although he didn't actively go out of his way to harm people, it didn't change the fact that his mere presence could make any King or Emperor feel as if their Kingdom or Empire was about

to fall into ruin.
