With Charlotte Linlin's support, the newborn Homie steadily grew stronger. Before long, a scene so ridiculous it made everyone burst out laughing unfolded:
The new Homie, which had previously kept avoiding Prometheus, suddenly became aggressive. Instead, the little sun ran everywhere while being chased, wearing an expression that was both fond and fearful. The onlookers found it amusing, but were also generally bewildered.
"Prometheus was stronger before, so staying fused would completely exhaust her. But now that the new Homie is larger, the one who might be exhausted is Prometheus instead."
Fortunately, Mousse stepped forward to explain. Everyone nodded in understanding afterward, but Perospero, the elder brother with better scientific literacy, raised an objection instead.
"Prometheus is flame, not fuel. How could she be exhausted?" Mousse froze upon hearing the question, then felt profound regret. Big Brother is diligent and eager to learn, and his foundation is pretty solid. But whether his intelligence is lacking or there's something wrong with his thought process, he always overlooks things when considering problems. No wonder he can't become a world-class scientist.
"She can support combustion, but she can also cool things!" Once Mousse said that, Perospero immediately understood. Oxidation and combustion were beneficial rather than harmful to Prometheus, but cooling was the little sun's nemesis.
Especially now that the new Homie had become stronger than her, it could theoretically even destroy her completely. How could Prometheus not be afraid?
In fact, because its base temperature was low enough and its mass was nearly twice that of the previous three great Homies, the new Homie's ice ability was unimaginably powerful.
They merely carried out a test as Mousse suggested, yet it froze the entire sea around the island. The ice was thick enough for everyone to walk directly across it to neighboring islands, including
