Chapter 1583 Developing Divine Cooking Arts

"Remember that every time you Rank Up, you need to fight Gluttony, Drake." Said the System. "At this current state… I've ran some simulations, and you will probably lose."
"It's that bad? But I overwhelmed him before, right?" I asked.
"Not completely, I mean, you almost lost. If it wasn't because of the Soul Gear you had, it wouldn't be possible." She sighed. "You need to accumulate more Soul Ether and Azure Ice Essence. At least get to SSS in the Soul Ether Stat and also in the Ice Titan Psyche. However, if you want to go faster, then maybe craft more Soul Gear. If you can get a Soul Gear weapon and maybe a shield… It could work."
"So I need to get equipped for my soul, alright…" I nodded. "I've already had some chat with my family, they said it is possible for me to hunt some of the Soul Beasts in their Realm, but if I go to any Realm I might get the other dragons really angry. Without their permission I cannot hunt those creatures because they're apparently both the food the dragon souls feed off and also part of the realm's power itself. Much like Divine Beasts imbue their divine energies into Divine Realms to make them richer…"
"I see, so it is not something you can hunt limitlessly, at least within the Dragon Realms and Titan Realms, sadly." least within the Dragon Realms and Titan Realms, sadly." The System said. "But even then, you can at least hunt a few from the Ice Dragon Realm and the Dark Dragon Realm, both belonging to your direct parents! I doubt there'll be much complains with that. Just one or two beasts from each and I think you should be able to make some decent Soul Gear! I've already calculated it."
"Good, then we'll do that once I am done cooking." The delicious smell of demon meat filled the kitchen, as I was cooking some fried rice with small chunks of demon meat and seafood, demon and boar burgers, skewered demon meat, and even demon meatloaf. The demon meat reserves we had had gone down to almost 10% of its original amount. We've eaten almost everything.
"Honey! Is the food done yet?"
"Almost there."
I quickly brought everything to the living room, where many of our friends were invited for a bigger feast. We were celebrating everyone's efforts so far, and also that Benladann and Benladra were officially recognized as Divine Ice Titans.
"There we go."
I quickly placed the dozens of meals I prepared everywhere, everyone finally started eating and celebrating properly. At the same time, I felt a surge of more Divine Power coming my way.

----- It seems cooking for so long has finally paid off once more. Not only I can get a lot of Divine Power as I cook many Divine Dishes, but I even progressed the Divine Cooking Arts to S Rank now! It is thanks to this wonderful Skill that I can cook and process such deadly ingredients such as Demon Meat and even Chaotic Beast Meat into edible products that anybody can enjoy.
Especially the Demon Meat, which is highly corrosive and deadly, once I cook it enough with this technique, it becomes edible and only gains a rather spicy flavor. But everyone can enjoy it, although they cannot gain demonic powers or demonic energy out of it like me, they can slowly create a resistance to its corrosive power, decreasing the total damage they take from demonic monsters and also making them near immune to their corrosive and weakening effects.
"Oooh, Drake's food is always so good! My Demonic Energy Resistance has increased its Rank again too!" Surtr celebrated.
"It's really good, with this, we'll be able to better fight the demons!" Emerald was really happy as well.
"Oh Surtr, good to see you here." I said, greeting them while drinking some wine. "I'll be needing your assistance later, and perhaps Emerald as well."
"My assistance? For what?" Surtr wondered. "I'll help you in anything I can, Master!"
"I'll need you two to help me forge something out of a scale from our grand grandmother." I explained. "Rakasha has also been notified and he'll join us too."
"Wait, grand… grandmother?" Emerald asked. "Don't you mean…?"
"Tiamat?!" Surtr screamed. "You have a scale of Tiamat?! That's… HOW?!"
"I guess I never told you guys. I meet her a while ago." I said casually.
"EH?!"
