A duke of District A finally showed up. She was Duchess Tianlian, the supporter who stood behind Soul.
As soon as this woman appeared, all the nobles sucked in their breath. They knew it was over. The chef had no hope to win this, even with the help of Marquis Lang Gu and the puppet who could fight the twin brothers.
Cursed Goddess Soul stood on the chariot and looked at Bu Fang coldly. “I did not expect you to make it to District A,” she said indifferently.
Bu Fang’s appearance here surprised her. However, she could not say she did not expect this. As Nethery’s only supporter besides Duchess Yunlan, it seemed natural for him to survive, though she had sent many experts to kill him. But at least that was fun, wasn’t it?
Bu Fang shook his head. He had nothing to say to Soul. How could he sit back and do nothing when this girl wanted to kill Nethery? Therefore, they were destined to be enemies. He was too lazy to talk to her, so this made him somewhat aloof.
Soul did not care about Bu Fang’s attitude.
Nethery walked out of the restaurant with Xiao Ai and stood at Bu Fang’s side. She raised her head and looked at the other Cursed Goddess straight in the eye without showing any fear.
They were both Cursed Goddesses, but their status was worlds apart. Soul’s power in Void City crushed Nethery’s. Apart from the fact that they each had the support of a duke, Nethery could not even see Soul’s tail.
In fact, Soul did not see Nethery as a competitor either. The only competitor she cared about was the one from the Primitive Universe. However, she did not mind getting rid of Nethery first. It was always good to have one less competitor.
She turned to Marquis Lang Gu, who had transformed into a huge demon. “You’ve disappointed me, marquis. Why did you choose to stand against me?” she said, frowning.
Marquis Lang Gu turned back to his human form, wrapped himself in a robe, and sighed. “Your Excellency… Little Moti’s death is a great blow to me. You know I have a good relationship with her,’ he said.
“But you don’t have to stand against me… That will get you to a point beyond redemption,” Soul said. Her aura was fluctuating. Anyone who stood against her would have to die.
“I was a little confused before this… But now I’m sure of it. Maybe I’m doing this for… faith,” Marquis Lang Gu said.
“Ridiculous… Your faith should be me,” Soul said. Her tone was intensely aggressive, but no one felt it was wrong. “Aunt Lian… Kill them all!” she said.
With Duchess Tianlian here, killing these people was extremely easy. “I can’t believe you’ve even opened a restaurant in District A. There is no need for such heretics to stay,” Soul said coldly. The ancient beast pulling her chariot roared as well.
The nobles fell silent. The arrival of Soul had decided the ending, and the presence of Duchess Tianlian had tipped the scales of victory completely.
If Nethery’s guardian was here, she might be able to fight them, but no one knew where Duchess Yunlan was now. The victor of the battle had been decided. How were a marquis, a puppet, and a chef going to defeat a top Chaotic Saint? It was simply a fool’s dream.
Duchess Tianlian sighed as she took a deep look at Nethery, who appeared to be calm. In fact, she quite liked this Cursed Goddess, but unfortunately… With a flick of her finger, a petal fell from her hand, drifting down toward the ground.
Marquis Lang Gu’s pupils constricted. There was an impassable gap between a duke and a marquis, which was not as small as the difference between a count and a marquis. In fact, every duke was the top expert of Void City, an existence that no one dared to offend.
Countess Xia Qiu was very strong, not weaker than a marquis. However, even the strongest of the three marquises could not touch a duke. For countless years, there were only three dukes in Void City, for it was extremely difficult to advance further at their level.
“I’ll take this opportunity to experience the strength of a duke today!” Marquis Lang Gu roared. His clothes were torn once again as he transformed into a great demon. Then, he slapped the ground with both hands and rushed toward the petal.
Duchess Tianlian sighed and watched indifferently as the great demon soared into the sky and shot toward the petal.
The petal looked weightless, but it brought tremendous pressure to Marquis Lang Gu. He felt as if it carried the weight of the entire starry sky, which pushed him back down to the ground.
His legs grew extremely heavy and sank into the earth, while the pressure kept pushing at him. Gradually, he turned back to his human form. Suddenly, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and was knocked flying backward.
The petal continued to drift down, heading straight toward Bu fang.
Marquis Lang Gu fell to the ground, his face ashen. Sure enough, the gap between him and a duke was too huge.
Standing in midair, Soul’s expression remained unchanged. Marquis Lang Gu used to be her man, but he had betrayed her now—she no longer cared if he lived or died.
Previously, when Marquis Lang Gu came to her for help, she could do something. However, Marquis Moti’s death was not necessarily a bad thing for her.
When a marquis was dead, it meant there was a vacancy to fill, and many people would fight to fill it. She could provide the vacancy to one of these people, as long as the person vowed to support her.

Therefore, Marquis Moti’s death was actually a good thing for her. And because of that, she refused to help Marquis Lang Gu. Her decision had led to his betrayal, but she also obtained more support from others. She did not suffer any loss.
As the petal flew across the air, the void shattered silently. Although it appeared to be weightless, it carried mighty power. Bu Fang felt the pressure, and he narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, Whitey’s mechanical eyes flashed and shone with dazzling purple light. It raised a huge hand, which transformed into a barrel. There was a black hole in the center of the barrel, and a purple energy beam shot out of it, colliding with the petal in a flash.
The petal was not ordinary. It carried a wisp of Duchess Tianlian’s Chaotic Energy, which was even heavier than the star.
A rumbling sound echoed out as the energy beam hit the petal, causing the void to shake violently. The petal stopped, and Whitey’s mechanical eyes flashed.
“Oh?” Duchess Tianlian was surprised. She did not expect that her move would be blocked by a puppet.
It shocked many people, too, and the nobles in the distance broke out into an uproar. The petal, which even Marquis Lang Gu had failed to stop, was blocked by a puppet. However, when they recalled the battle between the puppet and Marquis Moti, they were not so surprised anymore.
Xiao Ai clutched Nethery’s arm. She was very nervous. It never occurred to her that the stupid-looking puppet possessed such fearsome strength. ‘It hides its ability really well!’
The petal kept drifting forward, while the ground under Whitey’s feet cracked as it kept moving backward. It seemed that it was about to be pushed into the restaurant. Clearly, even it was having a hard time fighting a duke.
Bu Fang took a deep breath and focused his eyes. Qilin had told him about the horrors of District A. However, he had no other choice. He could not turn away from here just because it was scary, right? Cowering was not his style.
In that case… He would fight! After he and Niu Hansan perfected the Chaos Pot of Creation, he had not yet tried its full power. He thought this was the right time to give it a try!
With a thought in his mind, his mental force blanketed everything around him. The heavens and earth ripped apart, and terrible energy spread in an instant. The next moment, the Chaos Pot of Creation gradually emerged.
This thing was so powerful that it could only be stored in the extremely well-balanced System’s storage space. If he kept it in Heaven and Earth Farmland, it might destroy the whole farmland with its violent energy.
Marquis Lang Gu shuddered as he felt a great terror. He jerked his head and looked incredulously at Bu Fang. ‘Does this chef have an… even more terrifying trick?’ His heart hammered, and he felt as if he was facing a duke.
Soul furrowed her brows. There were too many incredible things about this chef. “Aunt Lian…” She signaled Duchess Tianlian to quickly kill him, lest he brought them more trouble.
Rumble!
The ground around Bu Fang began to crack, the debris pulverized. The terrifying power made sweat run down his forehead. In fact, he was reluctant to use this trick, for he was afraid of destroying half of Void City. However, the enemy had forced them into a desperate situation. He could not just sit back and watch as everyone was killed, could he?
‘Good heavens…’ Marquis Lang Gu’s heart was pounding, and he felt the strength leave his legs. A great sense of crisis filled him. ‘What the hell is that chef going to come up with?!’
Duchess Tianlian frowned. Her figure flickered and appeared in front of the petal. Then, she reached out a finger and lightly pointed it on the petal. A wisp of Chaotic Energy could be seen swirling around the finger, which increased the petal’s power significantly.
Whitey was knocked back instantly and slumped to the ground. The purple energy beam had disappeared, and wisps of steam were rising from the barrel.
The petal shot toward Bu Fang at an even faster speed, trying to kill him on the spot. Duchess Tianlian wanted to kill him before he took out that terrifying thing!
Bu Fang focused his eyes and exhaled deeply. His hair floated up. The next moment, a rift emerged in the void before him, twisting and crumbling. Through the opening, the crowd could see a golden pot.
Xiao Ai was shaking violently. She sensed death.
The petal grew larger and larger in Bu Fang’s eyes. Gritting his teeth, he cried out in his mind, “Come on! Explode! Only the dishes that will explode are the classics!’
Suddenly, everything seemed to freeze. Bu Fang felt the scene before his eyes change in an instant, and strong drowsiness came over him. The world in front of him twisted, slowly turned into a bubble, and faded away.
“Put that thing back… And don’t use it so easily.” A gentle voice rang out in Bu Fang’s ears as if someone was whispering to him. That gave him pause, and the drowsiness disappeared. At some point, a slim figure had emerged at his side.
It was a woman shrouded in a black fog. Apart from her face, the rest of her body was constantly distorting. She smiled at Bu Fang and nodded. Then, she raised her hand and flicked her finger. The petal disintegrated in an instant.
“You’ve gone too far, Tianlian… As Yunlan said, we are guardians, not fighters…” the woman said indifferently.
The void rumbled as a chariot approached from behind the dream-like woman. A figure could be seen standing quietly on the chariot.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat strange. The nobles in the distance did not dare to breathe too loudly, and they just watched incredulously with wide eyes.
The moment the woman appeared, Nethery and Soul fixed their gazes on her. They were very familiar with the chariot and the aura. The third Cursed Goddess, who came from the Primitive Universe, had finally shown up!
The newcomers were Duchess Nightmare and the Cursed Goddess she was guarding! For the first time, the three Cursed Goddesses appeared at the same time!
