Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

chapter-1131
Participants close to the creature of gluttony were overtaken by the desire to eat.
They were so lost in their act of eating that they forgot about their well-being. They didn't care that the creature of gluttony was eating them.
Their mouths were painted in black blood and chunks of meat were stuck in their now-grown teeth. They also started developing various cavities on their bodies which were eventually turned into mouths.
The participants were becoming creatures of gluttony themselves by eating one another. One could say that they had taken "you are what you eat" to an extreme.
Over time, both participants and the gluttonous creature's flesh would regenerate. However, it seemed like the creature of gluttony would be able to eat them before they could eat him.The participants opened their mouths inhumanly, and their tongues stretched longer than their arms. They started looking completely different from their previous selves. They would no longer be called Children of Creation.
These newborn creatures of gluttony had lost their consciousness for the most part. Their tongues were salivating in anticipation of their next meal.
There was a smell of dead blood, thick saliva, and raw flesh filling the air. It was a very unpleasant smell for those unaffected by the gluttony mana.
The participants lost their sense of being after turning into creatures of gluttony. They started eating each other when eating the creature of gluttony wasn't enough to satiate their ever-increasing hunger.
The newly turned creatures of gluttony even started eating themselvesâ€" taking a bite out of their own flesh. They started biting their own bones, producing munching sounds. The fresh wounds then get licked by the tongues of other creatures of gluttony.
"Bleeeeeegh!"
One of the female participants watching this bizarre scene from afar vomited all that she had in her stomach after seeing the creature of gluttony at work. A sense of disgust developed in her heart after watching what they were doing with each other and themselves.Another female ranker started vomiting after she saw the first female ranker doing it. It was unclear if the second female ranker was disgusted by the creatures of gluttony or the first participant. Despite this, the butcher regarded her as a sympathetic vomiter.
The male participants weren't much better either. They made awkward faces and gulped down the contents that were threatening to come out of their sealed lips.
The positive thing for participants watching the scene from afar was that they were able to get rid of a sense of unsatisfied hunger pervading their bodies and souls. The disgust they felt towards the creatures of gluttony enabled them to fight off the gluttony mana consciously or subconsciously.
After developing disgust for Gluttony, the participants got their sense of belonging back. As a result, they knew that they could continue their fight with clear consciousness.
It wasn't like Eren didn't think of finishing these rankers while they were being affected by the gluttony mana. However, he chose to observe the creatures of gluttony. After all, this was his first time seeing them operate. He had to understand the effects of his Ability keenly before he could think of optimal ways of using it next time.
"You devil... what the fuck have you done to them?"
The sympathetic vomiter screamed at Eren in a voice coated in accusation. The butcher spoke in silence to the female ranker. He didn't try to approach the people standing in the distance. Instead, he chose to approach the creatures of gluttony.
***
The primal creature of gluttony had developed demonic facial features at this point. He had two squinty-looking eyes and two horns jutting out of his forehead. It had a large mouth, piranha-like saw teeth, and black lips. His wide mouth and distinct dental structure made it look like it was always smiling.
The primal creature of gluttony had gotten 9 feet tall. There were four largemouths on its stomach alone. The creature had an obese body structure. All four of his limbs were full of fat, making it seem like the creature would have trouble even walking.
The creature had fatty fingers that had black, claw-like nails attached to them. It was as if the black nails and sawtooth were provided for the creature to tear through its food easily.
The primal creature of gluttony looked like it could control the newly transformed creatures. It made a few guttural sounds and forced the other creatures to hold down as he saw Eren approaching him.
The beta creatures of gluttony, who were originally participants, stopped devouring each other reluctantly. They looked like they were about to die from excessive flesh and blood loss anyway. The regenerative properties of their bodies couldn't keep up with their "expenditure" after all.
The primal creature of gluttony as well as its beta creatures bowed their heads as they saw Eren appear in front of them. The butcher looked at them before commanding the primal creature of gluttony.
"Eat them quickly and wrap them up."
Eren's voice was firm and left no room for argument. The primal creature didn't even take a moment to think. It stretched its hands and grabbed the nearest beta creature before starting to munch on it. The various tongues sticking out all over its bodies acted like stretchable whips to grab the other participants.
It wasn't long before the primal creature of gluttony finished eating the remaining creatures. It then bowed to Eren before its body started dissolving like condensed wax if brought near a source of warmth.
In the next moment, the primal creature of gluttony was dissolved into nothingness. There appeared to be six pearls levitating in front of the butcher
There were five small pearls surrounding a relatively large pearl. The five smaller pearls represented the five participants who had been turned into creatures of Gluttony. The bigger pearl represented the primal creature of gluttony who devoured them in the end.
Eren brought his hand forward and made a simple gesture. The six pearls landed safely on his open palm in the next moment.
"Pearls of gluttony..."
Eren mumbled to himself as he felt the pearls up close.
