Vegapunk explained quickly.

"Theoretically, until the planet we live on is completely destroyed, the Mother Flame's energy truly is limitless. However, the Mother Flame needs to remain inside the fusion reactor, relying on it to continuously draw power from the planet's core."
So that was it.
Good nodded slowly.
He had been wondering why something as broken as an unlimited energy source existed. Besides, if the World Government had obtained the Mother Flame, why had it run out after just one use?
Now he understood. The Mother Flame itself was also consumable, but it could continuously replenish itself with energy from the planet's core. For ordinary humans, that certainly qualified as an unlimited energy source.
