"This is... the Mother Flame...".
"No!
Absolutely not!
The temperature of the Mother Flame could never be this high, it could never be this scary!". Vegapunk's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and he said in a trembling voice.
Next to him, Pythagoras also had a gloomy face. He slowly said: "That's right, this is definitely not a flame that humans could create. The energy it contains is beyond our understanding."
At this moment,
Vegapunk and his clones were all staring in shock at the amazing scene unfolding before them.
All along,
they had firmly believed that the burning energy of the Mother Flame was the most wild and hot thing on this vast sea.
However,
since Ryuen last used his mysterious flame on Egghead Island to eliminate a Gorosei who had lived for eight hundred years, they had a new understanding of the peak temperature that a flame could reach.
They thought that was the limit.
But who would have thought that,
now Ryuen had once again raised his flame to a new level, showing an even more terrifying flame.
Even top scientists like them, who stood at the peak of science and possessed extraordinary wisdom and talent, were helpless in the face of this situation. They could not imagine how the flame that Ryuen had just released could break through normal reason and reach such an unbelievable temperature.
What was even more unbelievable was that this flame even burned space to the point of collapse in an instant.
At this time, Lilith, the clone representing evil, spoke. She slightly raised the corner of her mouth, a hint of cunning in her expression, and whispered: "Maybe... we can also use this flame to replace that impure Mother Flame...".
Just as Lilith's words fell,
Vegapunk's large body and the eyes of his many clones instantly shone with excitement and anticipation, like stars suddenly lit up in the night sky.
Clearly,
they all realized that this was indeed a wonderful idea.
Ryuen, who was standing aside, quickly understood the meaning of Lilith's words after a brief moment of thought.
At the same time,
Kuina expressionlessly sheathed the sharp Wado Ichimonji in her hand.
She seemed uninterested in the topic being hotly discussed by Lilith and the others.
At this moment,
she was concentrating on figuring out how to truly cut through even space.
Looking at the other side,
Poor Sentomaru was still unable to recover from the huge blow of his house being destroyed.
He stood there blankly, his eyes empty and lifeless, as if the whole world had left him.
However,
just as everyone was full of hope, Atlas suddenly frowned and raised a crucial question in a serious tone:
"But, how should we choose a container to hold the 'Mother Flame'? After all, the high temperature released by this terrifying flame is simply beyond imagination. I'm afraid any container made of ordinary material would be completely melted the moment it came into contact with it!".
Faced with such a tricky problem, the scene fell silent.
At this time,
Vegapunk's main body slowly turned his wise and deep eyes to Ryuen, and said with some trust and expectation: "We'll have to rely on you to solve this problem, Ryuen."
Ryuen nodded slightly: "It certainly can be done. I can suppress the flame to the same temperature as the real Mother Flame, and I can also control the temperature of the flame at any time."
"Then there's no problem, let's start acting!". Lilith said excitedly.
The others all nodded.
Afterward, a group of people did not hesitate to move forward quickly toward the place where the mysterious "Mother Flame" was stored.
Kuina stood quietly in place, not following them, because her participation was not needed for the time being.
At the same time, Sentomaru was like he had been given a freeze spell, standing there motionless, unable to recover from his shock for a long time.
When he finally woke up from his astonishment, he realized that Ryuen and Vegapunk had already walked a long distance.
"Wait for me!". Sentomaru shouted at the top of his lungs, while desperately chasing after them, muttering in his mouth: "Damn it, Ryuen, you have to pay for my house...".
Soon after, the group finally arrived at a hidden space deep within Egghead Island.
As soon as they entered this space,
Ryuen's attention was immediately drawn to the scene before him.
Vegapunk and his clones were busy surrounding a pile of glowing objects. Needless to say, this was the new "Mother Flame" that they had spent a lot of effort to create.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Ryuen stepped forward and reached out to get close to one of the groups of "Mother Flame", wanting to feel its uniqueness in person.
The moment his fingertip touched the flame, a strong burning sensation spread throughout his body, but Ryuen did not back down. Instead, he continued to bring his palm closer to the flame, carefully experiencing the subtle changes.
As expected,
although this new type of "Mother Flame" could release a high temperature comparable to the real Mother Flame, one could sense an essential difference between the two with just a little perception.
Especially the flame energy contained within, which was simply different as mud and clouds.
The energy contained in the real Mother Flame was like a surging torrent, continuous and extremely powerful; while the flame energy of this newly created "Mother Flame" was relatively thin and unremarkable.
Soon,
Under the guidance of Vegapunk and the others, Ryuen replaced the 'Mother Flame' inside with the white-gold flame he released!
Everything was ready, just waiting for the Gorosei to come, and then give them a big surprise.
