Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Strength Enhancement! (1/2)
Qin Siyang's eyes gleamed with excitement as he scanned the divine remains inside the trash bin, licking his lips.
There were actually so many discarded divine remnants. It seemed the Sequence Ability Users had brought back quite a few useless ones.
Wasn't this basically a free meal for him?
This was a gift from the heavens.
He was the chosen one.
Qin Siyang glanced around. No one was approaching, so he quickly picked up the ear covered in wriggling worms from the top of the trash pile.
Perhaps because it had been separated from the god's body for too long, losing its vitality, the worms' movements had grown weak, as if letting out their final cries of despair.
Qin Siyang swallowed hard, feeling a bit nauseous.
The disgusting appearance of the divine remnant, mixed with the stench of blood in the air, made him incredibly uncomfortable. Even if Hannibal himself were here, he'd probably shake his head at this.
But he forced down his revulsion, steeling his resolve to try. Before the overwhelming desire to grow stronger, all instincts could be suppressed.
"No need to complete missions, no need to sacrifice anything—just eating some disgusting things makes me stronger. What's there to complain about?"
He remembered reading in Godslayer Camp that when ordinary people consumed divine remains, there would be no reaction—they couldn't digest or absorb them. Either they'd throw it up or excrete it later.
Since it wasn't poisonous, there was no need to worry too much.
No point hesitating. Just eat.
Pinching his nose with one hand, Qin Siyang shut his eyes and shoved the ear into his mouth with the other.
After a few bites, he swallowed the divine remnant along with the pulpy meat juice. To his surprise, despite its grotesque appearance, the taste wasn't bad at all.
It wasn't any worse than the blood jellyfish or black lizard soup.
Honestly, it wasn't even much worse than the food from the cafeteria.
He wasn't sure whether divine flesh was genuinely edible or if the cafeteria chef was just that terrible.
"If all divine remains taste like this, then I won't hold back."
Qin Siyang exhaled deeply and opened his eyes.
Then, he looked toward the information panel in his mind, eager to confirm if he had grown stronger.

"Why is there no change at all? Don't tell me this was all a joke?"
Just then, Qin Siyang felt a sudden noise from within his body.
The sound came from his heart—"gurgle-gurgle"—like a spring breaking through layers of rock, releasing a long-suppressed stream of water.
Then, that eruption spread throughout his entire body.
His muscles spasmed violently as an uncontrollable surge of energy rushed through his veins, as if trying to burst them apart. He convulsed involuntarily, his muscles twitching wildly.
About a minute later, the pain subsided completely. He flexed his arm, feeling his muscles ripple twice before returning to normal.
"What... just happened?"
Curious about the transformation in his body, Qin Siyang removed his jacket and examined his arm.
Although it didn't look much different at first glance, he—someone extremely familiar with his own body—could tell that his muscles had grown slightly firmer.
'Could it be t-that... I've gotten stronger?'
He wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but his entire body felt more energized than before. Even his backpack, stuffed with food, seemed a bit lighter.
"This..."
Qin Siyang looked at the information panel again, but there was still no visible change.
Yet his body told him otherwise—something had definitely changed within him.
"Looks like the God-Eater information wasn't lying. Eating divine remains does make me stronger. It's just that the enhancement is too small to be reflected in the panel yet."
Qin Siyang quickly came to a reasonable conclusion, hypothetically.
Since it worked, that meant his experiment—strengthening himself by consuming divine remnants—was a success.
And a good start was half the battle won.
A wicked grin spread across his face as he turned his gaze toward the remaining bizarre divine remains in the trash bin.
He couldn't wait any longer.
Grabbing a hairy, clawed appendage, he carefully avoided getting blood on his jacket before stuffing it into his mouth.
"Damn, the fur on this thing is prickly. Hard to swallow."
He thumped his chest, then grabbed a water bottle from his backpack, forcing himself to gulp it down. After much effort, he finally managed to swallow the claw.
Unfortunately, because it was covered in fur, he couldn't properly taste the divine flesh inside, which left him feeling slightly disappointed.
Then, that overwhelming rush surged through his body again.
Moments later, Qin Siyang eagerly checked himself—his strength had increased even further.
"Stronger. More energized!"
Without hesitation, he continued feasting on the divine remains, devouring them one after another.
But he didn't let his excitement cloud his judgment.
Each time he picked up a divine remnant, he was careful not to let his clothes get stained with blood.
If he walked home covered in blood, he'd definitely attract attention, and explaining it would be a pain.
At the same time, he remained vigilant, ensuring no one spotted his strange behavior.
'Gotta keep a low profile while getting stronger. The secret of my Sequence ability must be protected.'
His past experiences had taught him how dangerous people could be. Now that he had such a unique power, he had to be extra cautious—he couldn't afford to let anyone find out.
Qin Siyang ate piece after piece of divine remains, indulging in the rush of energy flooding through his body.
At first, the pain was unbearable. But gradually, he started getting used to it. No—he was even starting to enjoy it.
'Shit... I don't have some kind of M tendencies, do I?'
He cursed himself inwardly, warning himself not to fall into the pleasure of pain.
But what baffled him the most was that no matter how much he ate, he didn't feel full at all.
'This is so weird... I've eaten so much, but I don't feel stuffed. If anything... I'm getting even hungrier?'
