Free Web NovelChapter 699: 699 Meow Frame
"Spit out Mother Flame right now ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
"Klee Meow, are you alright?! Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?!" frёewebnoѵēl.com
While the fight to the death was happening outside, Atlas and Sherwin were surrounding the little Ragdoll Felyne with panicked expressions, though the reasons for their panic were entirely different.
On the other hand, Huamei looked outside calmly, her brow furrowing slightly.
Sherwin had naturally sensed that flying slash that had accidentally hit up here as well, but how could such a matter compare to the importance of the Felyne? Therefore, he didn’t care about it at all.
"No~ Klee Meow feels very comfortable~ Tummy is nice and warm meow~"
(=ω=)
The little Ragdoll Felyne gently rubbed her tummy, squinting her eyes and drawing out her words slowly as she said, "Sorry~ Klee Meow can’t spit it out right now meow~ It seems..."
(=ω=)
She tilted her head to sense it, "Klee Meow has to completely digest it first meow~"
Perhaps because she was currently "digesting" Mother Flame, Klee Meow maintained this slow, deliberate tone the entire time she spoke.
Seeing that she indeed had no issues, Sherwin finally felt relieved.
However, he still reached out and gently tapped the little Ragdoll Felyne head, "Why did you suddenly swallow their flame?"
"Klee Meow doesn’t know either..."
(=＞＜=)
The little Ragdoll Felyne covered her tapped head, explaining with a wronged expression, "Klee Meow just smelled that this flame was so fragrant~ Fragrant-er than Big Sister Shirahoshi fish tail~ And then Klee Meow took a breath while dazed... and it flew in by itself meow~"
So, causing Egghead Island to temporarily "lose power" was actually a good thing?
Hearing Klee Meow explanation, the already highly experienced Sherwin and Huamei instantly thought of the little Ragdoll Felyne miraculous good luck.
Thus, after confirming that Klee Meow was fine, the two of them, who didn’t have much tension to begin with, cared even less.
However, while Sherwin and Huamei Meow were relieved, Atlas was still jumping up and down, shouting,
"Then hurry up and find a way to return the Mother Flame! Without the Mother Flame, the power for Egghead Island will entirely disappear! The barrier of the Labophase won’t be able to protect us!"
"Don’t worry, don’t worry. If those pirates really charge up here, I will step in to protect you." Sherwin, who had already decided that the current situation was a good thing for them, waved his hand indifferently. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Hmm... but because of this, it might be a bit hard for you to explain things to the World Government."
Then, he smacked his lips and complained in reverse, "I say, you guys are something else too. Didn’t you even prepare a backup power source?"
Actually, another solution was to have Klee Meow throw out a ball of fire under her control to temporarily replace the Mother Flame.
But on one hand, Sherwin wasn’t clear on the exact "output" of the Mother Flame, and on the other hand, he wasn’t sure if doing so would turn a good thing into a bad thing, so he simply let nature take its course.
"Who could have known that you guys could directly swallow something like the Mother Flame! We originally planned to manufacture it into an energy source that could constantly provide power! Of course we didn’t need to prepare a backup power source!"
Atlas, who represented "Wrath," naturally didn’t have a good temper. She continued to stomp her feet in anger while roaring loudly.
"But you guys haven’t succeeded yet... So before that, wouldn’t preparing a backup power source just in case be the wisest thing to do?"
Sherwin also knew that this matter was mainly because Klee Meow had accidentally caused trouble.
In fact, if he really thought about it, the current crisis on Egghead Island was even brought over by him, so he wasn’t very confident when making his defense.
But...
Who let the troublemaker be the little guy, Klee Meow?
Since his own cat caused the trouble, he, the Hunter, could only step forward to draw the fire.
And Atlas, after hearing Sherwin excuses, very cooperatively turned the spearhead toward him.
At this time, Sherwin stopped being stubborn and honestly let Atlas scold him to her heart content.
However, while Sherwin was being scolded, both he and Huamei Meow felt a strange aura suddenly appear outside. It felt a bit like Conqueror Haki, but in essence, there was a huge difference.
On the other hand, Klee Meow, whose Observation Haki was rather special, didn’t react much.
Because after swallowing the Mother Flame, the entire cat became sluggish, as if she were in her usual state of sunbathing and napping on the deck.
Fortunately, the little ragdoll aura did not weaken at all instead, it was steadily rising, so Sherwin was not worried.
Besides, Sherwin had actually witnessed a similar state before...
Back when Shermie Meow was absorbing the thunderclouds on Raijin Island, her aura state was very similar to Klee Meow current one. If one really had to compare, the little ragdoll situation was even more stable than hers was back then.
Accompanied by two explosive sounds coming from outside that rang out simultaneously, sounding like one, that strange aura became even thicker, making Sherwin heart itch with curiosity, wanting very much to run out and see exactly what was going on.
Could it be related to Klee Meow good luck?
"Should we go and regroup with your main body? Just in case those pirates rush up, it’ll be easier to protect them in time, meow."
(=`ー=)
Just when Sherwin was itching with curiosity, Huamei Meow suddenly interrupted Atlas complaints with a serious look.
A cat curiosity is much stronger than that of a human like Sherwin. Huamei Meow obviously wanted to find out what was going on with that aura as well, so she decisively changed the subject and gave a perfectly valid reason.
However, before Atlas could reply to Huamei, Klee Meow, who had gone into lazy little cat mode after swallowing the Mother Flame, suddenly revived.
"Oh! Digestion is finished meow! Burp—"
(=＞＜=)
The little Ragdoll cat let out another long burp, and even uncontrollably spat a small flame out of her mouth.
Then, without waiting for Atlas to urge her, she puffed out her cheeks and blew a ball of fire toward the empty power furnace.
Under the little Ragdoll control, the ball of fire accurately slipped through the gap of the furnace door and landed right back in its original position.
As the Mother Flame was returned by Klee Meow, the power furnace restarted. A steady stream of heat was sent to all parts of Egghead Island through the countless pipes connected to the giant furnace.
Lights and holographic projections lit up one after another, centering around the power furnace, and all kinds of equipment that had gone silent began running again.
"Phew..."
Atlas finally let out a sigh of relief, but out of a scientist rigor, she still walked quickly to the instrument panel next to the power furnace to confirm if the energy transmission and the furnace operation were normal.
And then...
"Incredible!!!"
After checking the data of the power furnace, she couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, "The energy efficiency conversion of the Mother Flame has increased by 47.28% compared to before! What did you just do to it?!"
Atlas turned around and asked Klee Meow excitedly.
However, there was only pure innocence and ignorance in the little ragdoll big eyes.
"Klee doesn’t know..."
(=ω=)
The little ragdoll scratched her ear and replied with a look of utter confusion, "Klee just spat it back out, meow."
So, was this also one of the "good things" that would happen after Klee Meow swallowed the Mother Flame?
The Mother Flame, enhanced by Klee Meow, should probably be renamed the Holy Cat Flame, or Meow Meow Holy Fire now, right?
Sherwin complained in his heart while looking at Atlas.
Judging by her current excited reaction, Sherwin was one hundred percent sure that if they could do it all over again, not only would she not stop Klee Meow from swallowing the Mother Flame, but she would even proactively feed the Mother Flame into the little ragdoll mouth.
Well... they didn’t even need to do it over Atlas was already pulling Klee Meow, hoping she could swallow the "Meow Meow Holy Fire" into her stomach just one more time.
Sure enough, for these genius scientists, a mere threat to their lives was nothing compared to making progress in their research.
